, Night 3: Gaze in the Mirror

When Chen Yu heard the prompt about talent.

He was somewhat bewildered.

Looking at Li Mengyao, he realized that she was also looking at him.

You could tell her eyes were red.

This was also the first time Chen Yu had experienced the Red Phoenix level jumping up and down in such a short period of time.

Now, in my list of talents...

Deng Yuxin (Subconscious Security Trust/Physiological Connection): Lv.17

Wang Mengmeng (Domestication Link): Lv.6

Yang Kexin (Value Contract/Physiological Connection): Lv.11

Zhang Wanyue (Trust Consensus): lv.10

Li Mengyao (Asymmetrical Attachment): Lv.15

Li Mengyao has actually jumped to second place!

Up to 150 times the return!

It's a pity she doesn't have the material talent of the class monitor or Yuxin, otherwise she would be living the dream!

Looking at it this way...

Is Wang Mengmeng at the lowest level?

All they do is flatter and fawn, but their rank doesn't actually increase at all!

Once we get back in the car, I have to teach her a lesson so she can catch up with the group!

way...

Very simple!

Keep in mind, how long have Yang Kexin and Chen Yu known each other?

Doesn't it still reach level 11?

This shows that—

High-end connectivity often requires only the simplest connection method!

"Let's go, Chen Yu."

Shen Qingci took the lead and opened the bathroom door.

She took a deep breath. "Don't look in the mirror after you go in. Look in the mirror only when I give you my instructions."

Done.

She stepped inside.

Lin Yue's lips turned pale: "Do I really have to go in...?"

Chen Yu stood beside her and simply nodded.

"All right..."

Lin Yue responded softly and followed her inside.

Li Mengyao stood at the door, seemingly lost in thought, when she burst into laughter.

Completely immersed in his own world.

Chen Yu: "..."

"Let's go."

"what?"

"Oh, oh, oh."

Li Mengyao snapped back to reality, her smile fading: "Let's go...we're leaving now..."

She hurriedly followed him inside, almost tripping over the threshold.

Chen Yu was the last to enter, and he closed the bathroom door behind him.

"Click".

Four people were crammed into the dimly lit, damp bathroom, with only a mirror in front of them.

Shen Qingci, with her back to the mirror and facing the three people, raised one hand: "3! 2! 1! See!"

The order was given.

She turned around, and four pairs of eyes were simultaneously drawn to the mirror.

The mirror is cloudy.

Chen Yu saw his calm face.

Shen Qingci noticed the tightly pursed lips.

Lin Yue saw the trembling eyelashes.

The moment Li Mengyao looked in the mirror, she thought of the gentleness from just now and almost laughed again, but she immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly straightened her face.

three seconds.

Five seconds.

Ten seconds

A deathly silence spread.

Only suppressed breathing could be heard, along with the faint dripping of water from a distant pipe.

All three girls were relieved...

This damn task doesn't require me to face the mirror alone.

Otherwise, they really would cry.

Time stretched on and on in the dead silence of their staring contest.

For the first two minutes, the world in the mirror was simply a copy of reality.

But everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if an eternity had passed.

Until a certain moment...

Li Mengyao's reflection in the mirror suddenly tilted her head.

"what!"

Li Mengyao gasped in surprise, her body instinctively wanting to lean back.

"Don't move!"

Chen Yu immediately stopped her: "Look in the mirror!"

Li Mengyao quickly stopped what she was doing and refocused her gaze.

Then she witnessed something even more horrifying...

In the mirror, a tear of blood seeped from the corner of my left eye and slowly slid down my cheek.

"Blood! My eyes!"

Li Mengyao's voice was trembling with tears. She dared not look, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and watch.

Chen Yu had already caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.

He whispered a warning: "It's the mirror image that's bleeding, not you. The rules only require us to look; never, ever get involved, or you'll surely die!"

As soon as the words fell...

Shen Qingci's reflection in the mirror also changed.

On her neck, a black handprint became more and more obvious, deepening and turning purplish-red.

Shen Qingci's breath hitched slightly.

But her expression remained unchanged, only her eyes sharpened: "You are you, and I am me..."

This sentence sounds like he's trying to encourage himself.

Lin Yue's side was also quite chilling.

Her reflection showed a smile on her lips, her right hand raised from outside her field of vision, holding a fruit knife.

The tip of the knife was pressed against his lower abdomen.

Then slowly... cut it horizontally.

Dark blood gushed from the wound, soaking through the clothes and meandering down.

Shen Qingci was right beside her, and even out of the corner of his eye, he was grinning from ear to ear...

"Lin Yue, it's all fake, please don't project yourself onto her!"

"You're perfectly fine now, do you hear me...?"

"Um."

Lin Yue responded softly, and said nothing more.

Chen Yu's mirror image was quite obedient, the only difference being that he would look at other girls.

He might even lean forward slightly, as if he's about to come out.

However, Chen Yu was not worried at all, and even looked forward to him daring to show his head.

He swore he'd get a head injury.

Unfortunately, the five minutes passed quickly and it was over.

[Special Rule for the Third Night: Gaze into the Mirror]

[The rule has expired]

All the eerie images in the mirror instantly returned to their original state.

Li Mengyao shivered, not wanting to stay a second longer, and staggered out of the bathroom.

Lin Yue followed him out with her head down.

Shen Qingci gripped the edge of the sink with one hand and touched her neck with the other. "Aren't you leaving?"

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Yu conjured an octagonal hammer in his hand.

"Smash it before you leave."

"Splash—!"

With a crisp crack, the mirror shattered instantly, shards scattering all over the ground.

Chen Yu stood still and waited for two seconds.

The Grand Tutor's container was activated, but it was silent and unresponsive.

Once the rules were over, this mirror seemed to be just an ordinary mirror.

It is not an object that harbors spirits.

But during the game, he really didn't dare to smash it recklessly.

It seems that this third night is destined to bring no free attribute points.

Chen Yu sighed softly, casually put away the octagonal hammer, stepped over the broken glass on the floor, and walked out of the bathroom.

Shen Qingci followed.

In the living room, Li Mengyao huddled in the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees, her eyes still somewhat glazed over.

Lin Yue is the same.

Chen Yu glanced at them and walked straight towards the door.

Shen Qingci quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"next door,"

Chen Yu opened the door: "My points are waiting for me to save them..."

Li Mengyao hurried to the door, her voice trembling, "Chen Yu...you...you really have to go? What if the mirror over there is even more sinister? We clearly completed the mission..."

Chen Yu turned around and said nonchalantly, "So what if it's weird? It can't steal my points."

Li Mengyao was speechless for a moment after hearing his words.

She clenched her fingers and took out the golden statue card from her pocket: "Then take this golden statue card. It's the only one left. I'm hiding in my room and won't need it for now..."

Chen Yu shook his head, turned and left the room: "I'm invincible, I don't need that."

Li Mengyao stood at the door, watching Chen Yu's figure disappear into the darkness, unable to calm down for a long time.

Shen Qingci coughed as he looked at her, "Mengyao, take a rest first..."

"Okay."

Li Mengyao then realized what was happening and blushed.
