Chapter 10: The Mirror

At this time, the movie screen everything, Xiao Zhi had already re-sat in the original position, while Mu Aishan sat back beside Xiao Zhi . "What kind of plot was put on when I went out just now?" Mu Aishan sat down and asked, "Were there any particularly scary ones?" Xiao Zhi, on the other hand, replied, "The main plot is kinda draggy, it's that just now when the male lead was taking a bath, a pair of hands reached out from the back of his head, and then it seems like he felt a bit of coldness in the back, so he turned around to look at it." "Really? When I went to the restroom just now, I also felt a little cold in the back of my head ……" "Come on! You're scaring me, aren't you!" Dong Xie really wished to play a bit more of the movie plot inside, but the conversation between the male and female lead was also likely to have some important clues, and listened patiently. At the same time, he kept an eye on the movements in front and behind him, after all, maybe the evil spirits would sneak closer while he was watching the movie. To put it bluntly, the one sitting next to him might also be an evil spirit. At this moment, he pursed his lips again. In order to prevent him from wanting to go to the toilet during the movie screening, he had eaten very little for dinner, and hadn't drank a single glass of water afterward. This also led to his current, so to speak, dry mouth. The movie screen reappeared with the images of the movie inside, and the male protagonist stood up, ready to get off at the next subway stop. Just then, he suddenly felt something wanting to turn back, and then saw, the back of the woman on the window suddenly stood up and pounced on the male lead! The next moment, the male lead quickly sat up from the bed! "What ah …… "Mu Aisan revealed a disappointed expression, "The haunting is a nightmare ah?" Then, an image of Xiao Si and a strange man appeared. "My name is Gu Cheng, let's get acquainted?" When the man said this, he even took out his business card and used his cell phone screen to shine it for Xiao Si to see. Xiao Si looked at the business card and revealed a look of surprise: "You're still the department manager, you're really young and promising. Hello, my name is Zhang Yuan. Are you running here ready to talk business?" Gu Cheng said with a bitter smile, "Here to collect a debt, there is a factory in this neighborhood that owes our company money and has been refusing to pay." "Isn't that an old scoundrel?" "There's no way ah, I had to come here to collect the debt myself. It's said that nowadays the one who owes is the grandfather and the one who collects the debt is the grandson, and it took me a lot of effort to finally get the check from those bastard grandsons. Seeing that it's getting late, I'm going to stay here for now." "Your company deals with household appliances, right?" "Uh, yeah. The company is now in the process of switching mainly from brick and mortar stores to mainly online stores, we have cooperation with Tmall, and last year's double 11 sales were still quite good." At this point, Xiao Si was obviously no longer too interested in the movie plot, she playfully said, "You guys must have a lot of year-end bonuses, right?" "You want to know?" Gu Cheng's smile also gradually became incredibly ambiguous, "In this case, let's add a WeChat?" "Well …… I'm used to using QQ, so I'll chat with you on WeChat." At this time, the girl next to Dong Qi immediately said, "Sure enough, it is a fighter in the green tea, she did this for fear of the other side to see their own circle of friends. After all, when she added WeChat in person, it was too late for her to set her friend circle to be visible only if it was sent within three days. These days it's all about WeChat, who still uses QQ!" Her boyfriend apparently came to a realization, "Right oh, according to the conversation of a few people before, this woman has an out-of-school boyfriend. Very green tea indeed." Immediately after that, Gu Cheng added, "That …… movie doesn't seem to be very interesting. How about …… we go first?" Obviously, he was already not interested in the movie at all, and all his interest was completely focused on Xiao Si beside him. However, Xiao Si is shaking his head, said, "Oops, this can not, at least bought the ticket, see after saying it. So monkey …… can not be ah." This last sentence said reverie, obviously is to retreat to advance, deliberately tease each other, really is a high level of green tea. However, was this related to the bloodletter quest itself? Or was it purely a smokescreen message intentionally released by the apartment to disrupt the thinking of the residents? Next, it seemed that the plot was starting to get long and boring, and several of the already small audience in the screening room inside started yawning. Suddenly, Xiao Si's cell phone rang. She quickly picked up the phone and found that the caller ID was "boyfriend"! She quickly glanced at Gucheng next to her, but luckily the other party was watching the movie screen and didn't notice. She quickly said, "That, my friend called me, I'll go out to answer it." After that, Xiao Si quickly walked towards the outside of the screening hall. After walking out of the screening hall, Xiao Si was surprised to find …… At this time, outside the screening hall, it had become pitch black! "What's going on?" She slowly walked over to the place where the popcorn was sold before, and this place also became dark, no one was here anymore. Leaning against this, she quickly picked up her cell phone and said in a very sweet voice, "Um, Ten." Junior's expression was obviously quite a bit panicked, having just been watching a horror movie, and now that this place was going into total darkness, it was obvious that she was a bit scared. "Well …… we're watching a movie right now, and we'll stay at the hotel here at night. It's fine, we'll go back downtown tomorrow. You said you wanted to meet tomorrow? I have to work on my thesis lately, so I'll see you in a while." With that, she shook her head again and glanced towards the left and right. "Thesis topic? Well, my tutor is still helping me choose a topic. I think it's in economics. How have you been doing? You failed your dissertation defense last year, and as a result, graduation was delayed for a year, and as a result, you'll have to prepare for your dissertation with me this year." Junior then took his cell phone and began to slowly walk around the darkened hall. "That ……" Xiao Si's expression was clearly a bit impatient, wanting to hang up early, but on the other end of the phone, her boyfriend's topic seemed to be incessant, "I don't have quite enough power on my cell phone …… rechargeable treasure? Well, the rechargeable treasure's electricity is all used up too. Why don't you hang up first? I'm still watching a movie?" She then began to raise her volume, "What do you mean I don't want to talk to you much? It's not like you have anything interesting to say to me! Either you talk about your research in the lab, or things in your old home! At the end of the day, your supervisor is so capable, and you still end up failing your dissertation, do you still want to go to graduate school like that? I am definitely staying in this city!" Then, after a few seconds of silence, she added, "Here we go again, bringing up the matter of renting a house outside and living together? Doesn't renting a house cost anything? We are all college students, relying on the money of part-time work can only share the rent, shared room that all kinds of people, can feel at ease to live? Do you still use your family's money? When you first boasted that you would be able to go to graduate school in two years, I bragged about you to everyone, but what happened? You made me unable to hold my head up in front of my friends!" Afterwards, Xiao Si began to pace in place, and immediately after, she began to walk around aimlessly. As she walked, Xiao Si walked to the vanity in the middle of the men's and women's toilet doors in front of her, leaned on it, and said, "Anyway, the next time we meet, let's wait for you to pass your dissertation defense first! Prepare well this time, don't do the same as before!" At this time, the movie screen gradually began to draw closer to Junior's face, the actor's acting skills were really outstanding, portraying a green tea whore to the fullest. After about some more time, the camera began to pull back farther again. And when the mirror behind the vanity surfaced, Dong Xie suddenly saw the back of a long-haired woman standing side by side with Xiao Si, who was leaning against the vanity! Immediately after that, the movie screen switched to the scene inside the screening room. And the movie inside the projection hall seemed to have screened to its first small climax. "Sister Qing, starting next week, you don't have to come." The male lead said to the bellhop who was cleaning inside the restroom, "Well, all the money for today has already been settled for you." "Oh …… okay, sir." The bellhop was scrubbing the mirror in the restroom at the moment. She took the cleaner and sprayed it on top of the mirror. Then wiped it with a rag! At this point, it was clearly a dark night outside the window of the restroom. The babysitter finished wiping the glass and had just removed the rag when she suddenly saw, inside the mirror, a long-haired woman standing behind her with her back turned! The man who walked outside, heard a scream coming from the toilet and immediately rushed back! Inside the toilet, it was empty. The movie screen then switched to the lavatory outside. Xiao Si's cell phone falls on the floor and she is gone. The camera draws closer and the audience can hear voices coming from inside: "Hey, hey, hey, hey …… hey, hey? Hope, Hope? Are you listening? What's wrong?"
