After saying that, Nicholas prepared to enter the first room and throw the mirror out of the window.
"and many more!"
Li Mo called out to Nicholas.
"I live in the fourth room, so there's no need to throw away the mirror. They're just rumors, so I'm not afraid."
Hearing this, Nicholas nodded with satisfaction.
"Please bear with it for now tonight. I will arrange for servants to help you clean the house and rooms tomorrow. It's getting late, and I need to go back to rest. The promise between you and me continues, and I will restore all your rights as a son of the Apokalypse family."
After saying that, Nicholas walked away, leaving Li Mo alone in the gloomy old house.
There was no light in the room, only the faint moonlight shining through the window, allowing Li Mo to barely see the surroundings.
Too many arthropods were dormant in the shadows of the corners covered with spider webs, and the dusty floor had a faint musty smell.
A large bed was placed in front of Li Mo. Li Mo sideways glanced at the mirror.
Because of the dust, Li Mo couldn't see the mirror image inside clearly.
Originally, it was thought that the mirror was the key factor in death, but Nicholas said that a family head had spent the night in the woods and still died tragically. Li Mo then realized that the mirror originally belonged to a living person.
It can help people in the ancient house survive.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many mirrors in front of him, reducing the frequency of death of the previous head of the family.
"But I can't blindly arrange my plans based on Nicholas's explanation. The mirror might have helped the living at first, but after years of wear and tear, and having been in a dark, enclosed space for so long, it's no longer the same mirror it once was."
"There might be a ghost in there."
Li Mo took off his coat and wiped the dust off the surface of the mirror.
Li Mo definitely couldn't see the mirror facing the front door on the first floor while sleeping in the bedroom, so he just left it alone for now.
The fourth room, this number is not very auspicious.
The reason why Li Mo chose this room was simply because he could see the movement at the door through the mirror.
Why not choose a room with a mirror facing the window? Or a wardrobe, bedside...
The reason is very simple -
He was on the bed, and the angle of the mirror could not be changed at will. The person sleeping on the bed could only see what was in the mirror opposite the door.
The mirror is hung at a 45-degree angle in the corner of the wall, and the reflected light allows people to see directly at the 90-degree turn of the door.
"Looking at the mirror in the closet, haha, if I choose that room, I'll just wait for death."
"If a mirror can reflect ghosts, then the moment I see the ghost in the mirror, the ghost has already seen me in bed."
"The same goes for the headboard. The mirror faces the headboard."
"It's so funny! There's only one possibility for the ghost in the photo: it's above my head..."
Thinking about it carefully, Li Mo felt scared. The room was already dim, and he could only see himself in the mirror.
I woke up in the middle of the night and accidentally glanced at the mirror. I found that behind me in the mirror was a person with a weird and miserable smile.
"So those two rooms are more likely to blur the ghost's judgment, making it unclear where the living people are..."
Li Mo made a judgment.
There are four rooms. If there is only one ghost, according to the general rules of this world, it will search each room one by one until it is sure that there is no one there and then leave.
The first three rooms are the stage where the ghosts' attention is most concentrated. The ghosts in the house will definitely come out because they sense the presence of living people.
When it does not find any living people in the first three rooms, the pattern will change to a certain extent, and it will think that the four rooms are in the same situation and just take a look and leave.
Ghosts will not slack off, but who says that the ghosts in this world are special?
Pseudo-humans, ghosts that imitate humans, can also imitate human fatigue...
"He was strangled but there were no marks on his neck; he died of suffocation and his stomach was full of water, but there was no water stain on his body."
"This means that the ghosts aren't killing people in reality, but in another special dimension. Even more so... the ghosts here only appear in that special dimension."
“Only a mirror can reveal it.”
Li Mo analyzed quickly and glanced at the dusty bed sheet.
Normally, he should pick up the quilt and shake it to get rid of all the dust.
But obviously he couldn't do that, the ghost would recognize it.
The quilts in the first three rooms are full of history, and if the fourth room shows a different situation, you will definitely notice it.
"So annoying, a ghost with some human consciousness..."
Li Mo opened the window and let all the moonlight in.
The bright moonlight seemed to be condensed into a solid radiance, or like tears shimmering with pure luster, pouring into the room without reservation.
The girl who had been searched for for millions of years in endless time and space was the last anchor point in Li Mo's countless memories.
The memories he possessed far exceeded five hundred years, surpassing the limits of ordinary people, and he should have lost himself long ago.
If it comes to a last resort, using Kiana's weak humanity may be able to turn the tide.
Of course, the greater probability is being eaten and dying.
Li Mo didn't know whether Guiqi would recognize his own agility as it was residing in Otto's body.
"Click——"
"Click——"
"Click——"
"???"
Li Mo was stunned. This was clearly the sound of glass breaking, right next door.
The mirrors in three rooms shattered at the same time! ?
Li Mo didn't take off his clothes or shoes, and quickly got under the quilt, with his head at the foot of the bed and his feet at the head. He lay on the bed and slightly opened the quilt...
A very thin sip.
I observed the movement in the mirror through the small opening, but I didn't see any ghost in the mirror for a long time, and I didn't even open the door.
strangeness……
Li Mo was a little confused. He was puzzled by the simultaneous shattering of mirrors in the three neighboring rooms. The key question was why nothing happened in the fourth room?
The ghost is not coming?
Li Mo held his breath. He didn't dare to fall asleep at all. He could only stare at the reflection in the mirror.
The door is closed.
No...no...
Li Mo's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized something. The three mirrors shattered at the same time, but the mirror in his room did not shatter.
It doesn’t mean that the ghost didn’t enter the fourth room. It’s very likely that the ghost didn’t break the mirror because it was in this room!
So from the very beginning, the ghost watched him enter the bed...
Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but stop breathing completely, and his hands tightly clenched his chest where his heart was.
One second, two seconds, five seconds...
Finally, an image appeared in the mirror.
Through the mirror, Li Mo saw four pale-faced children standing on both sides of him, lowering their heads and looking at him in the quilt.
Oops……
Li Mo subconsciously reached out to touch his waist, but it was empty. The strange pistol was no longer on him.
“…Qi.”
Before he could even pronounce the name, Li Mo bit his tongue and dismissed the idea.
Now is not the last moment, we can still maneuver.
The quilt temporarily protected him from the ghost's attack, and he was safe for at least ten minutes.
Calm down... Since the previous head of the family was able to survive, even if the mirror undergoes unknown changes, there should be a way for me to survive.
Li Mo carefully observed the image in the mirror and found something out of place.
That means the mirror that has just been wiped is covered with a layer of dust again.
"Tap...tap..."
At the same time, footsteps were heard outside the corridor, heading straight for the fourth room.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Three knocks on the door.
"Master Otto, I am the maid sent by the master of the family to take care of your food, clothing and daily life. May I come in?"
The voice of hope came from the door.
Li Mo: “…”
Silence, Li Mo did not give any response.
Even though his mind was now occupied by many unexpected things, he still remembered the three coping measures recorded in the diary clearly.
"Third, don't easily agree to anyone's request. Even if you agree verbally, don't actually fulfill it."
"Click——"
The mirror in the fourth room suddenly shattered. Li Mo's pupils trembled and he tried his best to control his body from shaking.
A person who claimed to be a maid walked in and first stopped in front of the mirror.
"Master Otto, are you sleeping? I've prepared a midnight snack for you."
Li Mo didn't dare look at the mirror, as his mouth was almost completely pulled down.
Just from one sentence, one action.
Li Mo almost concluded that the other party was a fake person.
It doesn't matter whether she made the request or not.
The pseudo-person was very smart. She should have known that people sleep in bed, so she faced the bed and spoke while holding the plate.
And unlike other ghosts, it didn't directly ask, "Are you in the room?"
Instead, ask, “Are you sleeping?”
Cannot respond...
"Master Otto?"
"Master Otto?"
"Master Otto?"
After shouting three times in a row, the maid left the room with the tray.
"Oh!"
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Li Mo carefully opened a small hole in the quilt and wanted to see the situation through the mirror.
The next second—
"Master Otto... So you didn't sleep."
The maid had a gentle look on her face. She was wearing a neat black and white maid outfit, with her legs wrapped in textured over-the-knee black stockings. She was squatting motionless at the end of the bed.
A small sip, and their eyes met.
Li Mo took out the Void Treasures.
He crawled out of bed and glanced at the mirror instead of the maid.
The mirror was shattered, but not completely broken.
The dust on it has all disappeared...
what does this mean?
For what reason did the mirror in the fourth room not break at the beginning?
