    If there's one thing that sets this apartment apart from the rest, it's the mirrors everywhere.

    Whether it's on the corridor, on the floor, or on the ceiling, just by turning your head, you can see yourself in countless mirrors. Even the restaurant where you eat, the floor-to-ceiling windows that should have seen the outside scenery, are also installed with bright mirrors - or two-way.

    The thought that people outside can see them makes people feel like they are being watched, which is very uncomfortable.

    The apartment has a total of thirty-four floors. They went to the other floors to roughly check the situation and found that almost every floor was inhabited. Although there were not many people, the entire apartment was not empty. Ruan Nanzhu also inquired with them about what happened in this apartment two years ago, but found that almost all of these residents moved in recently and did not know much about the fire accident two years ago.

    After running outside for a day, they got very little information, they only knew that the mother and son died in the fire.

    "Why is it a mother and son?" Lin Qiushi thought about it and felt that something was wrong, "Isn't it a family of three who came to travel? What about the father?"

    "Anyway, my father's body was not found." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Maybe he has the breakthrough we want."

    It was getting dark by now, and the setting sun cast a golden light on the mirrored exterior of the apartment.

    "But where to find him." Lin Qiushi frowned, "There seems to be no one who knows him in this building."

    Ruan Nanzhu shook his head, saying that he had not been able to figure it out.

    The city at night gradually quieted down.

    There was no one on the hustle and bustle of the street, and it was pitch black.

    Lin Qiushi stood at the window and looked out. In fact, only at this time could he feel that the world they were in was inside the door, because the world outside his door couldn't be so quiet at night. No matter how deep the night is, at least the sound of vehicles passing by can be heard in the city center. There will be no pedestrians on the road, and the strange silence outside at this time gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.

    Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Yixie had both washed up and climbed onto the bed.

    Lin Qiushi walked into the toilet and planned to wash up briefly.

    He turned on the hot water switch and poured the hot water on it with a towel. There are also many mirrors in the toilet, and Lin Qiushi has mirrors hanging on the front, back, left and right sides. These mirrors became a little blurry in the smoke, Lin Qiushi lowered his head and covered his face with a towel full of hot water.

    The only sound of water in the toilet could be heard. Lin Qiushi lowered his head and suddenly felt that something was not right. It was a very mysterious feeling. He didn't see anything unusual, but he intuitively sounded the alarm. Lin Qiushi's movements paused slightly, and looked around with his peripheral vision.

    A few seconds later, Lin Qiushi discovered something was wrong-he lowered his head, but the man in the mirror in front of him remained upright and looked at him quietly with the same face as him.

    Lin Qiushi knew it in his heart. He took the towel in his hand and walked outside while wringing it dry. When he reached the door of the toilet, he glanced at the mirror over there and saw that the mirror had returned to normal. , and he did the same thing.

    Lin Qiushi cursed in a low voice.

    "What's wrong?" Ruan Nanzhu looked up at him.

    Lin Qiushi said, "Mirror..." He closed the toilet door, "Just now, the things in the mirror are different from the real me."

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "Different? Are you all right?"

    "It's okay." Lin Qiushi said, "I pretended not to see it and came out." He said, "It doesn't feel good."

    If possible, he would like to smash all the mirrors in the house, but they don't know if smashing the mirrors is a condition for triggering death, so to be on the safe side, they can only keep it with gritted teeth.

    "What should I do?" Lin Qiushi lowered his head and looked at his feet, "I haven't washed my feet yet..."

    Ruan Nanzhu blinked, smiled at him, and opened his bed: "It's okay, come on, I don't despise you."

    Lin Qiushi: "..."

    Cheng Yixie watched his nose, mouth and heart from the sidelines, his expression was indifferent, and he pretended that he didn't seem to see this pair of dog boys and boys.

    However, just when Lin Qiushi was wondering whether he should go in and wash his feet, a fierce quarrel broke out outside the house, and the quarrel was accompanied by the sound of a broken mirror.

    Lin Qiushi walked to the door and looked out from the cat's eye, only to find that the newcomer brought by Sister Xia was in trouble.

    "I don't want to go in, you don't want to pull me in, there are monsters in the mirror!!" It was a young girl who screamed, and she yelled angrily at another girl standing beside her, "Don't touch me, I'm going to find it Sister Xia! If you want to sleep, sleep in it by yourself! I don't want to be with you!" When she was talking, she saw a mirror beside her, and she smashed it directly with her hand, and the mirror shattered. The sharp lens fell to the ground.

    The girl walked to the other side of the corridor, raised her hand and knocked on the door, seeing that this door should be where Sister Xia lived.

    After a while, the door opened.

    "Sister Xia, I don't want to live in my room anymore." The girl said, "There are ghosts in my room!"

    Because of the angle, Lin Qiushi couldn't see Sister Xia's expression, but he could hear her voice, her tone was not very good, and even sounded very indifferent, "Where can you live if you don't live in your room? Two people can stay."

    "I don't have to sleep on the bed, can I sleep on the sofa..." the girl begged.

    "Sofa?" Sister Xia refused rudely, "Didn't you hear what that person said when you divided the room? The number of people in each room is fixed and cannot be increased arbitrarily. If you live in Triggering the death condition, wouldn't it mean that the whole room will be unfortunate." She probably felt that her attitude was a bit too much, so she deliberately softened her voice, "There are many scary places in this world, you have to learn it yourself. Get used to it, tell me, what did you see?"

    The girl said aggrieved: "I saw the me in the mirror and I made different actions..."

    Lin Qiushi was stunned when he heard the words, thinking that he seemed to have encountered such a situation just now.

    "Different actions?" Sister Xia said, "Did you read it wrong..."

    "I didn't read it wrong!" The girl was a little angry when she was so perfunctory by Sister Xia, "Sister Xia, can't you find a way to help me? I don't want to go into that room!"

    "Why don't you do it like this." Sister Xia said, "Since you said there was something wrong with the mirrors, you should just smash all the mirrors so you don't have to be afraid."

    The girl said, "But..."

    Sister Xia interrupted her: "Otherwise I have no other way."

    The girl fell into silence. At this moment, no matter how slow she was, she would find that the attitude of the person she called Sister Xia was wrong. She had only passed through two doors before, but she knew this woman called Sister Xia on the website. Sister Xia claimed to be able to help her jump directly to the ninth door, so she followed Sister Xia into here, but after entering, She found herself completely at a loss, and Sister Xia did not protect them as promised.

    "I see." The girl muttered and saw Sister Xia closing the door directly.

    She had no choice but to turn around and go back to her room with another girl. After a while, Lin Qiushi vaguely heard the sound of broken glass coming from their room - the girl seemed to smash all the mirrors in the room according to what Sister Xia said.

    Lin Qiushi told Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Yixie what he saw and heard.

    "Sister Xia is smart." Ruan Nanzhu's voice sounded a little cold, "Take the person with you to test it."

    Lin Qiushi sighed softly. Indeed, if it's okay to smash the mirror, then they can also smash the mirror. If it's okay to smash the mirror, then Sister Xia has nothing to lose. It seems that she brought so many new people in, and if it is as Ruan Nanzhu said, she is risking the lives of these people.

    After the sky was getting darker, the smell of that thing being burnt started to fill the air again.

    Cheng Yixie's sense of smell is very sensitive. After smelling this smell, he began to cough in a low voice. In desperation, he could only cover his mouth and nose with a wet towel.

    Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu didn't plan to go out to watch, but when they were lying on the bed and forcing themselves to sleep, there was another noise in the corridor, this time it was a woman's miserable scream, where the scream was made. , is the room where the girl who smashed the mirror just now was.

    “啊啊啊——”凄厉的惨叫在寂静的夜晚里显得格外刺耳,林秋石透过猫眼看到那个姑娘挣扎著从自己的屋子里跑了出来,她的表情痛苦极了,跌跌撞撞的模样好像The next moment he will fall to the ground and can't get up again.

    Ruan Nanzhu appeared behind Lin Qiushi, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed the door handle, pulling the door open a crack.

    The gap allowed them to see the outside more clearly. Ruan Nanzhu looked through the gap, looked towards the mirror on the ceiling of the corridor, and tutted softly.

    Following Ruan Nanzhu's gaze, Lin Qiushi also saw the scene in the mirror.

    I saw that the girl in the mirror was wrapped in red flames, her body was a little bit of charred black, but she was still struggling, and the picture was terrifying to the extreme.

    Lin Qiushi even smelled the smell of scorched meat.

    "Ah ah, ah ah..." She finally fell down. If you look at it like this, you will find that there is not a single scar on her body, but only through the mirror can you know how painfully she went through.

    Just when Lin Qiushi thought it was all over, his hand was grabbed by Ruan Nanzhu, who raised his chin slightly, signaling Lin Qiushi to look in a certain direction.

    Lin Qiushi looked there and found that someone who was exactly like her appeared in the mirror opposite the burned girl. The same looks, the same clothes, but the smile on his face is a little weird and stiff. The man in the mirror looked at the burnt person outside the mirror, and he slowly stretched out his hands-the hands came out of the mirror and grabbed He grabbed the girl's wrist, and then slowly pulled the girl's charred body into the mirror.

    This scene was so terrifying that Lin Qiushi held his breath slightly.

    Ruan Nanzhu stretched out his hand and slowly closed the door in front of him. The hot breath was right in Lin Qiushi's ear, with a faint smile in his voice: "Scared?"

    Lin Qiushi turned his head: "No." He paused for a moment and sighed, "Fortunately I didn't smash the mirror."

    It seems that the mirror cannot be smashed, and once it is smashed, there will be serious consequences.

    Ruan Nanzhu said, "The house at the end of the corridor is on fire again."

    Lin Qiushi was stunned: "The one last night?"

    "Yes." Ruan Nanzhu said, "It's just a little different this time."

    Lin Qiushi just looked at the girl in front of him and didn't pay attention to what happened at the end of the corridor.

    "There is an extra room where the fire is over there." Ruan Nanzhu said, "The fire is spreading towards here."

    He grabbed Lin Qiushi's wrist and pulled Lin Qiushi back into the room, so that Cheng Yixie, who was leaning against the bed, could also hear their conversation: "The location of our room is not very good, if the fire continues to burn this way, Soon we will be where we are."

    "Change rooms?" Cheng Yixie suggested.

    "I don't know if it can be changed." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Go to the waiter tomorrow and ask, if he doesn't give us the room key, it doesn't matter." He laughed, "Although the electronic lock is a bit troublesome, it is not Can't open."

    Listening to his confident tone, Lin Qiushi suddenly felt a deep admiration for him in his heart.

    "Okay, let's go to sleep first." Ruan Nanzhu looked at his watch, "It's already at this point, if you keep going, it will be dawn." He looked at Lin Qiushi, "Want to come with me?"

    Lin Qiushi declined Ruan Nanzhu's kindness and decided to sleep on the sofa by himself. Of course, before going to bed, he mustered up the courage to go to the toilet again, and seriously washed his feet. This time, nothing appeared in the mirror.

    The second half of the night was very peaceful, and there were no more accidents.

    Early the next morning, Lin Qiushi just opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Ruan Nanzhu had changed his clothes and was ready to go out.

    "It's so early?" Lin Qiushi glanced at the time. It was only around six o'clock, and it was just dawn. It was already three in the morning when they slept yesterday, and Ruan Nanzhu only slept for three hours.

    "There's something." Ruan Nanzhu's voice was very soft, "I'll go alone, you guys continue to sleep."

    Lin Qiushi looked to the side of the bed, Cheng Yixie was a child after all. He was sleeping soundly and was not woken up. He lowered his voice: "Wait with me."

    "No need." Ruan Nanzhu said, "It's not a dangerous thing." After he said this, he walked to the door, opened the door lightly, and went straight out.

    Lin Qiushi looked at his back, but he still couldn't fall asleep. He sat up from the bed, because he was afraid of waking Cheng Yixie, so he was very careful when changing clothes.

    By the time Lin Qiushi changed his clothes and went out, Ruan Nanzhu had long since disappeared. Lin Qiushi thought about it and went to the restaurant on the second floor.

    The restaurant was still empty at the moment, but there were two or three people seated. Lin Qiushi noticed that Luo Qianshui, who was wrong with Ruan Nanzhu yesterday, was sitting in the corner. Her expression was a little anxious, and she looked at her watch frequently, as if she was waiting for someone.

    Lin Qiushi grabbed something and found a table. After sitting down, his first reaction was to look at his watch. After reading it, he was startled to realize that his and Luo Qianshui's reactions seemed to be a bit similar, and he suddenly burst out laughing.

    About ten minutes later, two figures appeared at the door of the restaurant.

    Luo Qianshui stood up from a distance, and happily called out to the door, brother—Luo Qianshan is here. Behind Luo Qianshan, another person is also walking inside, it is Ruan Nanzhu who Lin Qiushi is waiting for.

    Luo Qianshan walked to Luo Qianshui's side. Although the two kept their voices low, Lin Qiushi still heard their conversation clearly.

    Luo Qianshui asked, "Brother, have you changed it?"

    Luo Qianshan said: "I have changed."

    "Which one?" Luo Qianshui asked, "Is it the innermost one?"

    "No." Luo Qianshan said, "He moved a little faster than me, and I only moved to the penultimate room."

    Luo Qianshui cursed a few words in a low voice. It was obvious that he was scolding a certain girl. She said, "Don't you have a tougher attitude?"

    Luo Qianshan's tone was helpless: "I'm tough."

    Luo Qianshui: "That?"

    Luo Qianshan: "I didn't beat her."

    Luo Qianshui: "..."

    The girl who was tougher than Luo Qianshan, Shi Shiran walked up to Lin Qiushi and sat down. In a good mood, she picked up a hard-boiled egg and started peeling it. Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu: "Did you change the room card?"

    Ruan Nanzhu took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qiushi: "Well."

    Lin Qiushi took the room card and saw that the number on it was the innermost part of the corridor, that is, the farthest away from the burning room.

    "This is probably the time limit." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Leave here before the corridor is burnt out." He opened his mouth, his white and neat teeth left a beautiful tooth mark on the boiled egg, "That Luo Qianshan Well done."

    Lin Qiushi was stunned: "You played a game?"

    Ruan Nanzhu said lightly: "Well."

    If this is the world outside the door, then it may be said that women are given priority, but there is no priority for life-threatening matters. After Luo Qianshan determined that Ruan Nanzhu got the best room number, he Shot on him.

    If Ruan Nanzhu was really a girl, she might have been bullied, but he was not, so he beat Luo Qianshan mercilessly.

    Lin Qiushi saw from Ruan Nanzhu's expression that he must not suffer, and said: "I feel that their brothers and sisters are also quite powerful."

    Ruan Nanzhu swallowed the boiled egg and said, "I'm so good?"

    Lin Qiushi: "No no no, you are the most powerful."

    Ruan Nanzhu nodded with satisfaction.

    It was almost half past seven, the sky outside had already lit up, and people who lived on the thirty-fourth floor entered the restaurant one after another.

    Lin Qiushi saw Cheng Yixie.

    Cheng Yixie walked over to them and sat down with a slightly annoyed tone: "Why don't you call me."

    "Children should sleep a little longer." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Besides, you can't help much when you get up."

    Cheng Yixie was silent.

    Lin Qiushi said, "Want something to eat? I'll go get it for you."

    "No." Cheng Yixie rejected Lin Qiushi's kindness, stood up and went to get the food himself.

    Ruan Nanzhu looked at his back and sighed softly.

    Lin Qiushi said, "How old were you when you first entered?"

    Ruan Nanzhu snapped his fingers: "I can't remember clearly, it's eighteen or nineteen."

    Lin Qiushi thought to himself, from the first door to the tenth door, it took Ruan Nanzhu six or seven years, and he didn't know what he experienced in these six or seven years.

    Cheng Yixie took the food and returned to the table. Lin Qiushi was about to say something to him, but noticed a person walking in from the door. When he made sure that he didn't look at the dazzling eyes, his expression froze for a few seconds.

    The person who came in was a girl with ordinary clothes and ordinary looks, and everything was ordinary. She had a smile on her face, and went to the place where the food was placed and started to choose breakfast. At first glance, there was nothing striking about her body— -If Lin Qiushi hadn't seen those pictures from the crack of the door yesterday, he might have thought that the person in front of him was just an ordinary person.

    That's right, she was the girl who smashed the mirror last night and was finally burned alive, and then pulled in by the person in the mirror. At this time, she appeared completely in front of everyone, as if everything that happened last night was just an illusion in a dream.

    Ruan Nanzhu also saw her, and his expression became a little serious.

    The girl took the food, walked to the table by Sister Xia's side with a smile, and started to eat.

    Lin Qiushi noticed that the girl who lived with her became uncomfortable, and even her eyes began to show panic. In the end, the girl couldn't control herself, she got up in embarrassment and rushed out of the restaurant. The others at the table didn't seem to know what happened to the girl last night, so they didn't show rejection - they didn't even know the girl in front of them had changed.

    "She used her right hand when she smashed the mirror last night." Ruan Nanzhu said.

    Lin Qiushi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Ruan Nanzhu meant. He looked at the girl again, and as expected, the girl's hand holding the chopsticks had changed to her left hand.

    "Is the person in the mirror coming out?" Lin Qiushi suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was a little hard to swallow.

    "It should be." Ruan Nanzhu held his chin and picked up a strand of hair around his ear. He said, "Fortunately, I didn't smash the mirror, otherwise... Maybe I can see two of me today. When he said this, he smiled very subtly. "It seems interesting to think about it carefully."

    Lin Qiushi: "..." What are you laughing at? Why is the smile so weird.

    Cheng Yixie frowned and said unhappily, "She smells bad."

    Ruan Nanzhu: "It smells bad?"

    Cheng Yixie: "Yes, it smells burnt." He put down the food in his hand, it seemed that the smell had seriously affected his appetite, and there was some doubt in his expression.

    Ruan Nanzhu asked him, "What's wrong?"

    "I think I smelled this smell on the first day." Cheng Yixie said.

    "The first day? The first night?" Lin Qiushi thought about what happened last night.

    Cheng Yixie shook his head, his brows were knitted tightly, he opened his lips slightly, and said something that neither Lin Qiushi nor Ruan Nanzhu thought of, he said, "No, not the first night, but First day in the hall."

    Ruan Nanzhu's expression froze: "The hall?!"

    Cheng Yixie nodded: "Yes, the smell is very mild. I thought I smelled it wrong." He seemed to have thought of something, and was about to say it, but Ruan Nanzhu made a silent gesture to signal him not to Guess what, say it.

    But although he didn't let him say it, Lin Qiushi also understood what Cheng Yixie's words meant, which meant that maybe on the first day in the hall, there were people who were burned to death mixed in the crowd-even, maybe more than One. Thinking of this, Lin Qiushi involuntarily licked his dry lips, but a sentence popped up in his mind: Take people as a mirror...
