Bao Le woke up from a deep sleep, feeling that his internal organs were all out of place.It took her a long time to realize that she was lying somewhere, surrounded by darkness, and her breath was filled with a damp and decaying smell.The little girl stretched out her hand and felt around, and soon she realized that the place where she was lying should be a wooden box.The lid of the box was not nailed firmly, even with her strength, it could be easily pushed open.

With the sound of "哐——", Bao Le pushed the wooden box and sat up, and what came into view was the lit candle in the front right.Although the candlelight was weak, but the eyes were used to the darkness, and it became a dazzling existence.

The little girl closed her eyes, and opened them slowly until she felt she could adapt.

The candlestick with the candles on it was placed on an altar, behind which was enshrined a giant statue two to three meters high.The weak candlelight could not fully illuminate the whole body of the statue, and Bao Le could only see that it was a round woman with complicated patterns and bright colors, and at a glance she knew it was not Guanyin Bodhisattva.The status of women in ancient China was low, so there were few statues dedicated to female gods, and she couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

So Bao Le turned his eyes to the place where she was now, and with just one glance, she gasped.

It was a quiet rainy night, with light rain pattering outside the door, and only the sound of the little girl's heavy breathing inside the door.

She saw four coffins parked in this small dilapidated temple that enshrined the statue of the goddess, no, not four... Bao Le looked at the place where he was sitting, and his face turned pale instantly.Where is she lying in a wooden box, she is clearly lying in a coffin!

The little girl quickly crawled out of the coffin, and ran into the desk behind her in a panic.The edge of the desk was not hemmed, which made her back hurt, and she didn't know if it was blue, but she didn't have the heart to pay attention to it.

Her memory ends with Xie Huai playing the flute, and she has to say that one second she was immersed in the melodious sound of the handsome guy playing the flute, and the next second she opened her eyes and appeared in this damned place. Could this be what Xie Huai called "Mirror Realm"what?

If knew what Mirror Realm looked like, wouldn't have killed her!

But if this is really a Mirror Realm, then Jiang Ning and Shen Xing'er must have come together.The little girl stabilized her mind, and shouted to the surroundings: "Jiang Ning! Don't worry!" Her voice echoed in the small ruined temple, and it gradually disappeared two or three times in a row, but until the voice disappeared, there was no sound.People responded to her.Bao Le was about to cry, she now hoped this was some kind of prank.

The rain outside the door didn't stop, and it was getting bigger and bigger. A thunderbolt pierced the sky, taking a clear view of the five coffins parked in the ruined temple, and the shivering little girl hiding behind the coffins.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Bao Le thought that she couldn't drag on any longer. Fortunately, she still had her backpack and mobile phone.

She took out her mobile phone, and knew that at such a critical time, the mobile phone must have no signal, and she was decisively unreliable.However, she still checked the time on her mobile phone, and the date was still the day after Thanksgiving in 2022. The time was 1:50 in the morning, and it was almost six hours since she had dinner with Xie Huai.Not sure if it's the time difference between Mirror Realm and the real world, or if it's just because she's been asleep for so long.

Bao Le suddenly thought, if she woke up from the coffin, could it be that Jiang Ning and the others were also in the other four coffins?

Who said that the medium of time travel can't be a coffin, in case their old Xie's family has this strange evil taste.Ever since, the little girl looked at the coffin in front of her eyes, from being scared at the beginning, to becoming a little perverted.

Bao Le is a girl who is particularly easy to convince herself. When she thinks of something and decides, she will feel that she must be right.In addition, she has enough curiosity about unknown things, so she puts her ideas into action regardless of the randomness.

She found the nearest coffin and pushed open the lid with effort.She held the mobile phone in her right hand, and because the flashlight mode was turned on, a beam of light from the mobile phone flashed across the coffin following her movements.

However, just such a moment was enough for her to see clearly what was inside.

Bao Le was so frightened that he fell to the ground—there was no Jiang Ning in the coffin, only a mummified arm with rotten clothes hanging on it.The little girl gritted her teeth, and unbelievingly opened the remaining three coffins.

My good fellow, these four coffins are full of severed hands and legs. What kind of trouble is this? She is the only living person lying here together.

Bao Le was still immersed in the huge shock and didn't recover. Suddenly he heard a strange sound from outside the house. In the quiet rainy night, the sound was not very clear, but it was full of reverie.As if the sound of some iron object being dragged on the ground, Baole's well-informed little head immediately imagined the image of a serial murderer walking towards her dragging a sickle on a rainy night.

In desperation, the little girl blew out the candles, turned off the flashlight, and hid behind the door, holding her breath.

The sound of the iron dragging became louder and louder until the sound of rain could not cover it.The voice stopped for a moment in the middle, just when Bao Le thought he was going to leave, the other party accelerated towards the direction of the small ruined temple.As it gets closer, you can even hear the hurried footsteps of human beings.

It's a human being, so it's easy to handle, Bao Le thought, putting his hand into the bag.

The dilapidated gate of the small dilapidated temple was slowly pushed open. Through the thunder and lightning, the little girl saw a man wearing a black raincoat, holding a gleaming white hatchet in his hand.I really saw a ghost, do you bet that this person is a good person, or is he really a "Rainy Night Serial Murderer" as she expected?

Taking advantage of the sound of thunder, Bao Le rushed out unexpectedly, no matter what happens, he must leave this ruined temple first, otherwise he will be discovered sooner or later.

The man in the raincoat reacted very quickly, and was ready almost as soon as Bao Le rushed out.The man reached out and grabbed Baole's hair, forcing her to face up.In the faint light of the rainy night, the little girl saw her terrified face reflected by the blade of the hatchet, which was hanging above her neck.

He's going to kill her!

The moment the hatchet fell, Bao Le desperately muttered in his heart to get himself to move. Although his mind went blank, the will to survive seemed to have heard her cry.

"Wh-"

Bao Le covered her mouth and nose, and put down the anti-wolf spray in her hand. Naturally, she could tell from the other party's screams that he was a man.Probably because the anti-wolf spray had too much stamina, the man with the hatchet finally let go of her, covered his eyes and bent over, screaming.

If you don't run away now, when will you wait, the little girl runs away.

After running for an unknown amount of time and not hearing the sound of anyone chasing him, Bao Le finally had time to look behind him.

The rain was still falling, drenching her into a dreary state. The road behind her could no longer be seen clearly, and the small dilapidated temple hidden among the bushes and woods was nowhere to be found.Bao Le shuddered. She had been running for her life just now and didn't notice that there were thorny thorns all around her. Her arms and calves had already been scratched bloody.

The little girl leaned against a tree to rest for a while, thinking about whether to take out the bandage and treat the wound briefly.But just thinking about it, when she was about to take action, she heard the damn footsteps and the sound of the hatchet chopping on the branches again.

Bao Le started running again.

In fact, she didn't know the way, but she knew that she was on a mountain at the moment, and it was always right to go down.During the running process, she felt countless times that the man with the hatchet would appear in front of her in a second, cut off her way, and brandish the sharp knife at her.

But until she stepped on the ground and rolled down the mountain for tens of meters, she never saw the man again.

The little girl stubbornly sat up from the ground, clutching her stinging calf, although she didn't see any blood, she didn't know if it was because of a broken bone that caused the pain.But when she raised her head, she suddenly realized that her fall seemed to have fallen from the mountain.In front of him is the familiar concrete road, and in the distance there are twinkling street lights.

At that moment, Bao Le suddenly had the illusion of returning to the world from the underworld.

...

The little girl clutched her wound, and limped along the road. Not far away, she saw a small village beside the road, shrouded in continuous drizzle.There is a sign at the entrance of the village, with the words "Nvluo Village" written on it.Different from Guyu Township, this Nvluo Village is more modern. Whether it is the style of the houses or the scenery in the village, it seems that people often come to travel.

Bao Le quickly found the hotel in the village, and even the owner of the hotel went to bed at night.

There is a button on the table in the hotel lobby, next to it is written "Please press if you have anything to do". The little girl pressed it without thinking, but she didn't hear the sound.Is it broken?Bao Le didn't believe in evil, and used a magical skill to crush the button repeatedly.

"Hey, oh, don't press it, it's so noisy at night."

The owner of the hotel came out from behind a small door wrapped in a coat, with an afro head and sleepy eyes.Seeing Bao Le's distressed appearance, the aunt clicked her tongue twice: "Oh my god, miss, you just rolled down the mountain, why did you become like this?"

Bao Le thought to himself, you are really right, I just rolled down the mountain.

"I...I want to make a phone call." The little girl said weakly.

At first glance, the female boss is a native of Beijing. She speaks skilled Bei Jing movies and is quite enthusiastic.It might be that Bao Le's appearance is too miserable. In the middle of the night, the female boss pointed to the direction of the phone, and then she didn't turn her head and go back to sleep, but sat at the counter, waiting for her to finish calling.

Since arriving here, Bao Le's mobile phone has been in a state of no signal. If the mountain can be explained as being remote, there is still no signal in such a small tourist village, then there is a real problem.

One of the explanations she prefers is that this is a different world, and her cell phone is the original one.

Fortunately, she has now found a place where she can make a call. Although the mobile phone cannot be used, it is still possible to display the mobile phone number.She called up Shen Wangyan's cell phone number and dialed it.In the waiting "beep", the little girl prayed that he would never turn on the mute, after all, at two o'clock in the morning, he was probably asleep.

Just when Bao Le was thinking wildly, the phone was connected.

"Hello, who is this?"

When Bao Le was excited, he finally realized what it means to "meet an old friend in a foreign land"."Boss Shen, it's me, it's me, Jiang Baole!" The little girl wished she could fly to Young Master Shen right now, and she didn't want to be separated by this phone line.

It's just that the other party was silent for a while after hearing her reply, and continued to ask after a long time: "Jiang...Jiang Baole? Who is it?"

It was only then that Bao Le realized something was wrong—the voice was indeed Shen Wangyan's voice, and he didn't refute her calling him Boss Shen, but the tone sounded a little, how should put it, a little childish.Although Shen Wangyan was young, but with his usual mature manner, it was absolutely impossible to talk to her in this tone.

"Excuse me miss, you may have made a mistake."

After Shen Wangyan said this, he hung up the phone without any hesitation, leaving Bao Le in a mess in the wind.
