Chapter 0069 – The Door in the Mirror
The bathroom was pitch black, the surroundings were quiet, and Chen Ge could faintly hear his heartbeat.
He looked at the mirror in front of him, and when the pointer crossed the twelve o’clock, the mirror became a little blurry, as if it was covered with a layer of something, and immediately after that, a number appeared right in the center of the mirror – “0.”
The number in the mirror changed once again, which was completely out of Chen Ge’s expectation, in his opinion this number was left by the monster in the mirror, now that the monster in the mirror had been eaten by Zhang Ya, the number should also disappear.
”Could it be that this number has nothing to do with the monster in the mirror?”
He took out his cell phone and prepared to take a picture of the number, but as soon as he raised his hand, his entire body froze.
The scene in the mirror appeared different from reality, and the door of the room in the toilet cubicle unexpectedly turned red!
It was a red color that was completely drenched in blood from the inside out. It was as if the cubicle was filled with blood, and the blood was still continuously seeping out through the cracks of the door.
”Why did the door of the squat cubicle in the mirror change?” Chen Ge took out his cell phone to record the video, turned around and slowly pushed open the door of the cubicle.
The door of the cubicle in reality was pushed open, and the door of the cubicle in the mirror was also opened.
There was nothing inside the cubicle in reality, while everything in the cubicle among the mirrors was colored red, including the flaps, paper baskets, and even the small advertisements plastered on the walls.
In the dark and gloomy bathroom, the blood-red color of the cubicle looked unusually eye-catching.
Chen Ge couldn’t figure out what was going on, he took a step forward, half of his body had just probed into the cubicle when the surface of his skin developed a sticky, as if it was being squeezed and wrapped by something.
He hastily backed away, about a minute later, the door of the cubicle in the mirror returned to normal.
At this time, Chen Ge re-entered the compartment in reality, and there was no longer that strange feeling.
The blood-red door in the mirror only appeared for a minute after midnight, and then everything returned to normal.
”Why did the door to the toilet cubicle in the mirror turn red? And when I pushed that door panel open, the walls and decorations behind the door of the room were all blood red as well.” Chen Ge turned on the light and leaned on the windowsill, silently contemplating, “Could that be the world in the mirror? The monster in the mirror escaped from that blood-red world?”
In order to confirm the speculation in his heart, Chen Ge rummaged through his black cell phone and found the information from the first nightmare quest.
The quest hint at that time was – to see the other world, one needed exceptional courage, extraordinary luck, and a little bit of help.
”It was clearly stated in the quest that it was to see another world, and this world should refer to the blood-red world in the compartment.”
Thinking back to the course of that day’s bizarre mission, although Chen Ge didn’t open his eyes, his ears were keeping an eye on the surrounding movements.
”I’m certain that at that time, I heard the sound of the doorway of the toilet cubicle shaking! Everything was normal at first, and all the weird things came after the room door shook.”
Halfway through the mission, he heard the door to the cubicle room suddenly make a noise, and at that time, he thought it was the wind blowing, so he didn’t pay attention to it. Thinking about it now, the sound of the doorway shaking at that time was most likely coming from the mirror.
”It’s possible that the mirror is a buffer zone connecting the two worlds, and the door to the toilet cubicle in the mirror was pushed open, and the monster escaped from the blood-red world, and was finally forced to be stranded in the mirror because of the obstruction of the muppets.” Chen Ge stared blankly at the wooden door of the squatting cubicle, and strange thoughts appeared in his heart, “What would have happened if I had entered the cubicle in reality when the door of the room in the mirror turned red? Does that count as me stepping into another world?”
Shaking his head to dispel this crazy thought, Chen Ge once again walked in front of the mirror, “The blood-red door appeared in the mirror after the number returned to zero, it seems that my previous guesses were all wrong, this number has nothing to do with the number of killings, it should just be a countdown, possibly representing the period of time for which the monster in the mirror will be active in reality.”
The door in the mirror had returned to normal, but Chen Ge didn’t dare to guarantee whether it would reappear in the future, it was even possible that as long as the monster in the mirror didn’t return, that door would appear on time every twelve o’clock.
”If it continues to appear tomorrow night, take off the mirror, that’s all we can do for now.” Chen Ge found a thick black cloth to cover the mirror, then left the bathroom.
Returning to the staff lounge, Chen Ge opened his black cell phone and began to check today’s daily tasks.
”Simple Difficulty: a frightening experience should not cause traumatizing psychological shadows to the experiencer, I think you should understand the reasoning of too much is not enough, please improve the safety system of the haunted house and inventory the hidden safety hazards among the haunted house.”
”Normal Difficulty: it’s hard to do it alone, a good haunted house needs a good team to run it, recruit more talented people, they will help you get through it!!!”
”Nightmare Difficulty: another person has been living in your room, don’t you want to know who he is?”
These three quests were all very familiar to Chen Ge, in fact, he was very torn, in order for the haunted house to develop faster and better, choosing the nightmare quest would be the best, but after experiencing the Monster in the Mirror incident, he was a little bit scared of the nightmare quest of the black cell phone.
”Forget it, it’s better to take a good rest today and make plans tomorrow.” Since obtaining the black phone, Chen Ge hadn’t had a restful sleep, and if it continued like this, his body might not be able to hold out.
Covering himself with a blanket, it didn’t take long for Chen Ge to fall into a dream.
At eight o’clock in the morning, Chen Ge, who had been “resurrected”, hurried out of the room, and first came to the zombie resurrection night scene on the first floor, where the area that he had chosen last night had changed, and there was an additional passageway leading to the underground.
”Black cell phones are pretty efficient.”
The floor was hollowed out, and he walked down the stairs, directly to the abandoned underground parking lot.
Raising his eyes, the parking lot didn’t even have a single light, and was very dilapidated.
”It’s gone? Expanding just to expand a staircase?” Chen Ge was slightly disappointed, but once he thought that this entire underground parking lot was his own venue, he quickly rekindled his fighting spirit, “The Future Virtual Paradise in the eastern suburb will be completed in three months at the latest, I’m going to unlock as many horror scenes as I can and upgrade the horror house within these three months, and strive to create a theme park that doesn’t lose out to the other side.”
Returning to the first floor of the haunted house, Chen Ge took the black cell phone and went back to the entrance of the house of horrors, and in the middle of the guardrail and the haunted house promenade, there was an extra opaque black wooden building, shaped like two closets put together.
”This is the midnight ticket counter? It’s also too rough, right?” Opening the door, Chen Ge sat inside and felt the cramped and narrow interior space, as if he was pressed into a coffin.
