Xiao Zhu's mind was completely muddled, and a familiar chill came from her wrist.
She felt like the water had gone past her mouth and nose. Her lungs were filled with water, and she could not breathe.
Her arms and legs flailed wildly. She wanted to scream, but there was no reply. She could only see the woman in the mirror slowly raise her head to reveal that indescribable face.
Under normal circumstances, the woman in the mirror could be considered a beauty, but the woman's face was swollen.
The weirdest thing was, the woman's face kept changing. Her black hair spread out, and after a while, Xiao Zhu felt like she was slowly becoming familiar. She realized with fear that the woman's face in the mirror was starting to resemble her own.
She waved her hands, but she could not control her body. The sound of water echoed in her ears. Xiao Zhu felt like she was trapped inside the mirror, and her body had been swapped with the female ghost!
"Save me! Save me! Save … "She gasped for air, but there was no oxygen in her lungs. Before she suffocated, Xiao Zhu's face twisted. Out of instinct, she slammed into the glass mirror before her!
"Pa!"
The sound came, and blood blurred her vision, but the feeling of suffocation disappeared.
"Xiao Zhu!" Ah Cheng's call appeared in her ears, and the woman's consciousness finally came back. Her body swayed, and she fell backward.
"What's wrong?" The man hugged Xiao Zhu from behind. Blood leaked out from her forehead, dying her eyes red.
"Mirror, there's someone in the mirror!" Xiao Zhu hugged Ah Cheng's arm and screamed as she pointed at the mirror.
The mirror in the bathroom cracked from the impact, and pieces of the mirror that were stained with blood fell from the wall.
Ah Cheng hugged Xiao Zhu and knocked away the glass shards from the woman's hair. He was also spooked by the woman's earlier action.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, and I'm here." Ah Cheng held the woman and moved backward. He realized that there was something wrong with this bathroom.
The black hair at the sink's drain was swaying like seaweed. The water kept rising, and it slowly overflowed from the sink.
Drop after drop of water fell to the ground, and the atmosphere in the room became even scarier. The flowing water was like a suicide who had cut his wrist with a knife. It was not water that fell to the ground but blood.
"We need to leave this place first." Ah Cheng carried Xiao Zhu and dragged her out of the room.
"The water pipe is still open …" Xiao Zhu's voice sounded weak.
"I don't have time to worry about that. I'll bring more people in later. I'll take you to the hospital first." Ah-Cheng didn't think it was scary at first, but when the woman suddenly went crazy, Ah-Cheng's heart jumped.
He was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. When he turned around to look at the bathroom, he suddenly saw the blood on the broken mirror wriggling like worms in the river, slowly forming a few words.
I'm in the mirror! She's in your arms!
When he saw those words, Ah-Cheng almost let go of the woman's hand. He realized that this was not a prank. Something really strange had happened at the rehabilitation school.
Her forehead was still bleeding, and Xiao Zhu looked completely different from how cute she used to be. Her wound had not been treated, and she looked quite scary.
The lights in the corridor flickered faster. To speed up the child's recovery, the hospital had pasted many cartoons and animal pictures on the walls.
At this moment, under the illumination of the lights, the changes in light and darkness caused the figures of the cartoon characters to become strange. The smiling faces were especially frightening.
More and more water leaked out from the sink in the bathroom. The water seemed to have a life of its own as it flowed out of the bathroom and followed behind Ah-Cheng.
Ah-Cheng did not notice this. A normal person would not have noticed this. All his attention was focused on the cartoons on the wall.
This is the first time I've realized how scary these things are at night. I'll have to tell the headmaster to replace all of them.
The words that appeared in the mirror kept appearing in Ah-Cheng's mind. He held Xiao Zhu, who had her head lowered. He could feel the softness of her body, but he could not feel the warmth of her body.
"Xiao Zhu?"
He tried to call her name. Xiao Zhu raised her head in his arms. The wound opened up, and the blood on her forehead slid down the tip of her nose. It made her look very scary. "Ah Cheng, I feel so tired, and my head is so dizzy."
The drawn-out tone and heavy nasal voice sounded like the woman's nasal cavity was filled with water.
The girlfriend that he once loved deeply now looked like a stranger to him. It was a feeling that was hard to describe.
"Hold on a little longer. I'll take you to the doctor now." Ah Cheng bit on the tip of his tongue. His girlfriend was in so much pain, and he had the thought of abandoning her. That was not right.
He picked up his pace, but as he walked, he realized that the corridor of the rehabilitation school seemed to have lengthened.
"I've been walking for quite a while already …" The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger. He gritted his teeth, hugged Xiao Zhu, and started to run.
However, he had just taken the first step when he seemed to step on something, and he slid to the ground.
Both he and Xiao Zhu fell to the ground. When he turned back to look, he realized that the corridor had become wet, and a stream of water was following behind him like a venomous snake.
His eyes looked further away, and the door of the cubicle next to the bathroom slowly opened.
A small figure appeared behind the door. She was leaning against the door. The light was not that dim, but he could not see her face clearly. He only knew that she was wearing a soaked jacket.
"Wen Wen?"
The cubicle that the girl had appeared in was the small room that the woman had locked Wen Wen in that afternoon.
Ah Cheng was about to make his next move when his phone rang. He answered the call almost subconsciously.
"Has the girl returned to school? The principal and I have asked many merchants outside, and they all said that they have not seen Wen Wen. The girl is probably still at school, but she's hiding somewhere. "
The caller was Mr. Wang. Hearing her voice, it was like Ah Cheng was grasping at straws. "Wen Wen is at school! Come quickly! Xiao Zhu is injured! "
"Injured? Okay! I'll be there in a minute! "The call was hung up in a hurry. Ah Cheng wanted to say more.
He put the phone away, but when he moved the screen away, he saw Xiao Zhu looking up at him in a very awkward posture. "Who are you talking to?"
"Mr. Wang, she'll be here soon." Ah Cheng was a cautious person. When he realized that Xiao Zhu's tone was not right, he did not ask any more questions. When he saw the black shadow that looked like Wen Wen, he did not get too close.
From how he saw it, it was better to leave this place first.
"I've already searched that room. The little girl is clearly not there. Could it be that the child is playing hide-and-seek with us?"
How could a little girl with a mental defect and an abnormal brain be able to fool the adults around in circles?
The more Ah Cheng thought about it, the more afraid he became. A horror movie that he had seen a long time ago flashed through his mind. The main character was a strange person who looked as innocent as a child but had lived for a very long time. Every time she was adopted, the peace of the family would be shattered, and the family would be dyed red with blood.
"Could this child have the same disease?"
Not daring to think any further, Ah Cheng dragged Xiao Zhu out of the corridor. However, when he reached the door, he realized that the door that led outside had been locked.
Where's the key? Ah Cheng searched through his pockets and could not find the key. He used both hands to shake the door until the light above his head went off.
The small figure that was hiding inside the room walked out. His hands reached out like he was trying to stop something.
"Don't come any closer!"
Seeing the figure run faster and faster down the corridor, Ah Cheng loosened his grip. He planned to abandon Xiao Zhu and then jump out the window to escape alone.
However, strangely enough, even though he let go, Xiao Zhu's body was still stuck to him.
The woman's face was pressed tightly against Ah Cheng's chest. She raised her head. "Ah Cheng, don't you want me anymore?"
Blood spread on the woman's face, and the sound of water dripping echoed in his ears. For some reason, Ah Cheng felt like the woman's face was becoming more and more unfamiliar, like it was a different woman.
Pushing the woman's head to the side, Ah Cheng's breathing quickened, and his heart raced. "Wait here, I'll go out and call for help!"
The sound of water dripping did not disappear. If anything, it grew louder. The small figure in the corridor was approaching, and the woman on the ground crawled toward him. Her hair stuck to his arm, and eventually, she gripped Ah Cheng's leg tightly.
"Don't leave me here alone!"
…
"Who locked the door? Have the two of them found Wen Wen? " A woman who looked rather quiet stopped at the classroom door. "She didn't even answer the phone. Could it be that she ran away because she couldn't find her?"
From her tone, one could hear the woman's dissatisfaction toward the other teachers at the school.
She took out the key and opened the door. The ground was covered in water stains.
"What happened?" The woman stopped at the door and turned on the light on her phone. "Xiao Cheng said on the phone that Li Xuezhu was injured. They were looking for a child at the school, so how did they injure themselves? Is there a third person here? "
She reached out to press the light switch, but the light appeared to be broken, and she could not turn it on.
She tiptoed forward, and the woman raised her phone. The light shone down the corridor. She saw that the door to the bathroom was open, and a small girl was standing before the mirror.
The girl stood on her tiptoes and reached her hand into the sink like she was trying to fish something out.
After a while, something that shocked the woman even more happened.
The girl also reached her head into the sink and buried her whole face in it.
"Wen Wen?"
The woman thought the girl looked familiar from behind, and she sneaked closer to the bathroom.
"What is the girl doing?"
There was a puddle on the ground, and no matter how careful she was, she would still make a sound. When the woman reached the door to the bathroom, she saw a monster with a bloated body standing inside the broken mirror.
In the broken mirror stood a bloated monster. She was wearing a bloodstained coat and her hands were pressed against the back of the girl's head.
She wants to drown the girl?
At the crucial moment, rationality won over fear. The woman rushed into the bathroom to save the girl.
Seeing the woman rush in, the monster in the mirror was surprised.
At the spot where the woman was standing earlier, black hair spread like seaweed. If the woman had turned to run, she would have run into the web of black hair.
