Chapter 5 - behind the door
Click!
The closed bathroom door was slowly pushed open by Meng Xuan. Meng Xuan carefully looked out through the door.
Outside is the living room that is familiar to him, empty and silent.
Seeing this, Meng Xuan completely pushed the door open.
In the quiet living room, the energy-saving lamps on the roof emit a soft glow.
Meng Xuan checked it carefully and found that the world in the mirror was almost the same as his real home.
In his bedroom, the school uniform he just changed was still hanging on the chair.
He even found his leftover fast food in the trash can.
No left-right reversal, no abnormal phenomenon…
He walked to the window, trying to see what was going on outside through the window.
But it was pitch black outside the window, as if someone had covered it up with ink paper, and he couldn’t see anything at all.
Meng Xuan pondered for a while and gave up the plan to open the window. He always felt that there might be some unknown terror in the dark.
He returned to the living room, sat on the sofa at home, picked up the TV remote control on the table, and tried to click the start button.
rustling
Meng Xuan was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect the TV to actually be turned on.
There is no picture, only a snowflake screen is constantly beating, making a loud noise.
“How can TV still be used? That means electricity also exists in this world?”
Meng Xuan pondered for a while, and then he realized something was wrong.
ji ji ji ……
The frequency of the noise on the TV is getting higher and higher, and the tone is getting sharper and sharper, it actually sounds a bit like a weird, shrill laughter from a woman.
The snowflakes flashing on the screen were also accelerating and twisting. Meng Xuan vaguely saw a distorted smiley face, and the smiley face was becoming clearer and clearer.
Drop!
Meng Xuan decisively pressed the power off button on the remote control, took three steps and two steps, rushed forward to unplug the TV, and immediately turned around and rushed into the bathroom.
Once something changes in the living room, he will quickly contact the mirror, return to the real world, and immediately destroy the mirror in the real world.
After about five minutes, after confirming that there was no other movement in the living room, Meng Xuan returned to the living room.
He carefully observed the TV, and was sure that no “Sadako” would climb out of the TV. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. understanding.
Although I don’t know what it is, if I let the thing just take shape completely, I will definitely die without a burial…
Meng Xuan completely threw out some tentative “saucy manipulations”.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Meng Xuan began to retreat a little.
The world in the mirror is more unknown and weirder than he imagined, and he is not afraid of dying. Anyway, after awakening the memory of his previous life, he has died once. What he is worried about is that if the weirdness of the world in the mirror escapes to the real world along the mirror ・・・
Then his parents and the surrounding neighbors are very likely to be killed.
Meng Xuan pondered for a while, and decided to temporarily give up the plan to explore the world in the mirror, to be safe and not be so reckless.
He stood up, ready to return to the real world and make a long-term plan.
dong dong!
Suddenly, there was a sound from the door of the living room, and it seemed that something lightly hit the door.
Meng Xuan’s spirit instantly became tense. After waiting for about ten seconds, he saw that there was no further movement from the door of the living room, so he walked over lightly and looked out through the cat’s eyes on the door.
Different from the total darkness outside the window, this time, Meng Xuan could see the outside scene clearly from the cat’s eyes.
“Isn’t it the corridor of the community?”
Meng Xuan was a little surprised.
From the narrow cat’s eyes, he saw a dim purple light.
He widened his eyes, and with a little difficulty he could roughly distinguish the scene outside through the purple light.
Outside the door is not a corridor, not a wilderness, but a room full of dust and cobwebs.
This room doesn’t look too small.
Meng Xuan distinguished it carefully and saw a dusty metal table. The table covered with cobwebs looked like some kind of machine. The dust was too thick and the light was too dim to see the original state.
Beside the metal table, there were also several huge vertical glassware that seemed to have been broken, facing the cat’s eye, and there was a dark door leading to nowhere.
“Looks like a laboratory?”
Meng Xuan was a little surprised.
Why is there a room that seems to have been abandoned for a long time outside the door?
What’s in this dusty room? Any clues to the world in the mirror?
Will there be extraordinary power in the world in the mirror?
As the so-called curiosity killed the cat, Meng Xuan, who had been preparing for a steady wave, is now as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his head.
Although he knew that there had just been movement outside, and it was likely to be dangerous, at this time Meng Xuan couldn’t help his curiosity and desire to explore.
He continued to observe for a while.
“The thing that hit my door just now should have slipped through the door. I’ll take a look… I’ll close the door immediately if it’s in danger. UU reading www.uukanshu.com”
Meng Xuan gritted his teeth, walked to the kitchen, tied his own cooking pot with ropes on his back, and went to his father’s room to put on an engineering safety helmet that he had left in the room.
He didn’t think it was enough, so he turned the house upside down and found an iron **** under his parents’ bed that he didn’t know what to do, and finally got all the equipment together.
Feeling the heavy equipment on his body, Meng Xuan felt more at ease.
Walking to the door, Meng Xuan suddenly went back into the room, took off the soot-filled divine token offered on the altar of his own, and put it into the pot behind him.
This may be able to withstand some non-physical attacks…
Meng Xuan, who was ready, took a deep breath, gently twisted the door handle, and watched quietly from the crack of the door.
A room shining with lavender light clearly appeared in front of his eyes.
There was dust in the air, and the smell of decay was everywhere. Through the dim purple light, Meng Xuan discovered that this room was about 100 square meters. The source of the purple light was something similar to amethyst inlaid on the walls.
This room does look like an abandoned laboratory. Meng Xuan saw things like experimental consoles and experimental machinery and equipment placed in the room. There were also various things like medicine bottles stored on it.
Near the door of the room, there were several broken large vertical glass petri dishes, which should have held some kind of solution before, and dark spots remained on the glass wall.
On the wall of the room, there are also some things like number plates, but they are all complicated ghost symbols that he can’t understand.
Finding that the laboratory seemed to be empty, Meng Xuan took courage, pushed the door open completely, and walked into the laboratory.
