Escaping death, the cold water slid down Chen Ge's head. He was still shaken, and his chest rose and fell. His lips were purple, and his hands were still gripping the cleaver tightly.
After one to two minutes, he finally calmed down, and the dizziness in his head dissipated.
Using his hand to wipe away the water droplets on his face, he stood up unsteadily from the bathtub.
Under the light of the candlelight, the room did not appear to have changed.
I should have cut something when I swung the cleaver earlier, and I heard a crisp sound. Chen Ge followed the angle of the cleaver and saw a mark left at the corner of the bathtub.
Did it land on the bathtub? That shouldn't be. At the time, I felt someone pressing down on my head, so the cleaver should have landed on him. Chen Ge desperately wanted to know the truth. He walked out from the bathtub and grabbed the phone that was still recording.
He stopped the recording and started the video from the beginning.
I sat in the bathtub at 3: 30 am, and nothing happened until 3: 43 am. Chen Ge leaned against the wall, and his eyes were glued to the screen. At 3: 44 am, he lay down in the bathtub. The water splashed, and the surface of the water was level with the bathtub.
"It does look a little strange." When he did it in person, it was not that scary, but when he looked at it as a bystander, it made his hair stand on end.
Chen Ge compared the time. Twenty seconds before he lay down in the bathtub, everything in the bathroom was normal, but there was the occasional sound of water dripping.
Another ten seconds later, Chen Ge frowned. He realized that the content in the video was different from what he felt inside the bathtub!
Based on his countdown, there should have been footsteps coming from the corridor, but the video was still quiet, and there was no strange sound.
Another five seconds passed, and the door knocking that Chen Ge remembered did not appear in the video. On the screen, there was only the dark water and the flickering candlelight.
Could it be that the footsteps in the corridor and the banging on the door were just my imagination?
After a full fifty seconds, a large number of bubbles began to appear on the originally calm water surface on the screen. Chen Ge, who was in the bathtub, could not hold on any longer.
At this moment, something happened that made Chen Ge's scalp tingle.
Beside the bathtub, there was a palm-sized mirror fragment. Its surface slowly darkened, and a black shadow emerged from it. It lay next to the bathtub, and the scene was extremely strange.
Looking at the silhouette, this person looked very similar to He Feng.
More and more bubbles appeared on the surface of the water. This was the most critical moment.
In the video, Chen Ge's body and will had reached their limits. He could not hold on any longer. He placed his hands on the bottom of the pool and was ready to give up.
However, just as his head was about to float out of the water, the black shadow standing beside the bathtub suddenly reached out with both hands and pressed down on his head!
Unable to breathe, water gushed into his nose and mouth. Chen Ge struggled with all his might. He waved the kitchen knife in his hand randomly. The shadow's body floated in the air. The kitchen knife seemed to be able to affect it to a certain extent, but the effect was minimal.
At this moment of life and death, the dolls that were placed around the bathtub moved like they were being blown by the wind. The smallest doll used its body to press down on the palm-sized mirror fragment.
The surface of the mirror was blocked, and the shadow became blurry. Then, Chen Ge accidentally landed a slash on its head, and the monster disappeared instantly.
The knife's momentum did not decrease. It landed on the edge of the bathtub, leaving behind a shallow mark. The moment the force disappeared, Chen Ge crawled out from the water.
The video ended there. After understanding everything that had happened, Chen Ge's desire to eliminate the mirror monster intensified.
"I can't let it live!"
Chen Ge saved the video carefully and picked up the doll that was lying on the mirror. The doll's back was scratched by the edge of the mirror, and its body was soaked.
"They are both existences from another world, but their personalities are very different. Some are pure and kind, while others are filled with malice." Chen Ge dried himself, put on his clothes, and placed all the dolls inside his pockets. Only then did he relax.
"Breaking the mirror won't change anything. It can still reappear inside the mirror fragments. How am I supposed to deal with this monster?" It was elusive, impossible to see, and impossible to find. Facing something like this, Han Fei was naturally at a disadvantage.
Chen Ge picked up the palm-sized mirror fragment from the ground. It was an unintentional action, but to his surprise, he saw the water droplets roll on the surface of the mirror, leaving behind a shallow Arabic number — 3.
"Is this left behind by the mirror monster? Is it trying to show off? Does three represent me, Heshan, and He Feng, or does it want to kill me in three days? " Chen Ge did not understand the meaning of this number, but he was sure that it was not a good one. "Do you really think I'm afraid of you? One day, I'll pull you out from the mirror and burn you to death when the sun is at its strongest! "
Chen Ge uttered the worst curse that he could think of. His life had been hanging by a thread earlier, and it had been too dangerous.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Ge picked up the black phone. Initially, he did not have much hope, but when he saw the notification on the phone, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Specter's Favored, you've held your breath in the water for sixty-two seconds. Congratulations for completing the Nightmare Mission! Obtained reward — Yin Yang Vision.
"Yin Yang Vision: You can see into the dark, but you can use the Yang body to see the Yin spirit. (Greatly improves your vision, other functions unknown)
"You've completed two Nightmare Missions. After completing the third Nightmare Mission, a random Trial Mission with a scary scenario will be unlocked!
"After completing three consecutive missions at ninety-five percent, a new function will be unlocked — Baleful Affection Point!"
After reading through the series of messages, Chen Ge had an indescribable feeling in his heart. The Nightmare Mission required him to hold his breath in the water for sixty seconds. Due to his nervousness and other emotions, he only lasted for fifty seconds before he was ready to give up. This mission should have been impossible to complete. However, due to the murderous intent from the mirror monster, he was forced to hold on for a few more seconds before he managed to complete the mission.
Even though his life had been hanging by a thread, overall, the result was good.
Chen Ge scrolled through the black phone. This Nightmare Mission was very important to him.
If he failed this mission, not only would he not get the mission reward, the unlocking of the new scenario would be delayed, and most importantly, he would not be able to unlock the new function on the phone.
With curiosity, he found the tab for the new Baleful Affection Point and clicked it open.
