The mirrors were placed in the four corners of the room. Each mirror was covered by a white cloth, and only the bottom part of the mirror could be seen.
"Why are there mirrors inside the maintenance room? And why are there four of them at once? " Whether this maintenance room was used to repair living people or to repair furniture, there did not seem to be a need for mirrors.
"Could it be that after they finish repairing something, they place it before the mirror to admire it?"
Before Bai Ling and Wang Xiaoming could say anything, Chen Ge reached out to pull back the white cloth that covered the mirror.
"Don't touch it!"
Bai Ling's warning was too late. The white cloth fell to the ground, and the three in the room saw the covered mirror.
"Is this paint?" Chen Ge stood before the mirror and reached out to touch the surface. There was a layer of something that looked like red paint on the smooth surface.
The mirror was completely covered, and the mirror could not reflect anyone.
Chen Ge used his fingernails to scratch at the surface of the mirror. The red paint appeared to have grown on the mirror and melded with it. He could not remove it no matter how hard he tried.
"Mirror …"
Chen Ge was suddenly reminded of something. After he woke up in the classroom, this was the first time he had seen a mirror in the world behind the door.
Mirrors were very common in real life, but in this school, they seemed to have become some kind of taboo.
"There are no mirrors in Room 413, and there are no mirrors in the backpack that Xiao Lin carries with him. There are no mirrors in the hostel manager's room, and there are no mirrors in the staff dormitory that Bai Ling and Mr. Bai live in!"
Quickly pulling back the white cloth that covered the four mirrors, Chen Ge realized that the four mirrors looked different. They had probably been moved here from different places.
"The key to the maintenance room is with the teacher and the repairman. Normally, not many people come here. The school has placed the four mirrors here because they do not want too many people to see them."
The surface of the four mirrors was covered with the red paint. Even if one stood before the mirror, one would not be able to see their own reflection.
"None of the mirrors can reflect people. Is it because they are afraid of looking at themselves in the mirror?" Chen Ge could not figure out the reason, but he made a mental note to pay more attention if he saw a mirror next time. Perhaps there was a hope of escape hidden in it.
"Xiao Lin, have you found everything? It's time to go. "Wang Xiaoming kept urging Chen Ge. As time passed, he became more and more impatient.
"Wait a moment." Chen Ge carefully examined the four mirrors in the corner of the maintenance room. The first mirror had no frame, and its edges were wrapped with transparent tape. It looked like it had been removed from a wardrobe.
The second mirror was not big. Someone must have sawed off the top half of the dressing table. It did not look like a piece of furniture that would be found in school.
The third mirror had the words "Laboratory Building" written on it. It should be from there.
The fourth mirror had a wooden frame with a number written on it — 413.
Under the number, at the edge of the frame and the wall, there was a name — Lin Sisi.
"Why is Xiao Lin's name on the last mirror? Did this mirror come from Xiao Lin's dormitory? "
Chen Ge did not think things were that simple. There was no such thing as Xiao Lin in the student's file, so why would the name Lin Sisi be written on the mirror?
Squatting down before the last mirror, Chen Ge looked at the covered surface. It was unclear whether his own shadow was accidentally reflected on the mirror, or it was due to the lighting and the angle, but Chen Ge had a feeling that there was a person inside the mirror.
"The mirror has Lin Sisi's name on it. If there is really someone trapped inside, could that person be the previous Lin Sisi?"
He reached out to touch the surface of the mirror. The chill felt like he was touching a 'blood door' that was slowly opening.
The mirror before him appeared to have turned into a giant snake with its mouth wide open. Chen Ge resisted the discomfort and grabbed the edge of the mirror. When his fingers touched the back of the mirror, he realized that the back of the mirror was uneven like there was something carved on it.
"It feels like I'm being swallowed."
Slowly turning the mirror around, when Chen Ge saw the back of the mirror, he sucked in a cold breath.
On the back of the mirror, the name Lin Sisi was carved in bright red ink!
They filled the back of the mirror. The key was that these names were obviously written by different people, and the handwriting was different.
"Wang Xiaoming, move the other mirrors away and see if there is a person's name written on the back of each mirror." Chen Ge held the fourth mirror with both hands and signaled for Wang Xiaoming to move the other mirrors, but after a long time, Wang Xiaoming stood where he was, not moving at all.
Chen Ge turned back to look and saw both Wang Xiaoming and Bai Ling staring at the mirrors inside the maintenance room. Their bodies leaned forward, using the tips of their toes to touch the ground. Green veins surfaced on their pale faces, and their eyes were filled with endless malice and resentment.
"What's wrong with you two?"
The surface of the mirror was smeared with red ink, and it did not reflect any human figures, but Wang Xiaoming and Bai Ling appeared to be able to see something inside the mirror.
"The mirror that they see is different from the one that I see? Or do they sense the presence of something? Bai Ling's father once warned her to stay away from the maintenance room. Could it be because of these few mirrors? "
Bai Ling and Wang Xiaoming were temporarily Chen Ge's teammates. He was afraid that the two would suddenly go crazy, so he quickly picked up the white cloth from the ground and used it to cover the mirrors.
Unable to see the mirror, Wang Xiaoming and Bai Ling slowly calmed down. The veins on their faces disappeared, and the venom in their eyes disappeared.
They did not seem to realize the abnormality that had happened to them earlier. It was as if everything was just Chen Ge's own illusion.
"The mirror appears to be able to reflect their real appearance."
There were very few mirrors at the school, and these four mirrors were all smeared with red paint. Chen Ge was curious what kind of reaction Wang Xiaoming's group would have if they saw the unpainted mirrors.
"Since we've got the thing, it's time for us to go." Chen Ge reluctantly walked out from the maintenance room. If not for the fact that the mirrors were so big, he would have taken the four mirrors with him.
What Chen Ge needed to do next was figure out a way to avoid the dormitory manager and return to Room 413. He needed to pull out the nails on the wall and try to convince the few shadows.
"Xiao Lin." Wang Xiaoming had somehow snuck up behind Chen Ge. He pulled on Chen Ge's arm lightly. "Based on our agreement, don't forget to accompany me to the canteen to buy food."
"Is the canteen still open so late at night?" Chen Ge smiled, and his eyes moved between Bai Ling and Wang Xiaoming.
"Of course, you'll know once you come with me. One of the windows is secretly selling some very delicious food." Saliva leaked out from the corner of his lips, and Wang Xiaoming looked quite scary.
"You can't leave! Didn't you promise to stay to accompany me? I only brought my own family with me! You have to come with me! "Bai Ling hugged Chen Ge's left arm with both of her hands. She and Wang Xiaoming refused to back down.
"You're right, but what should I do now?" Chen Ge pretended to be troubled. He looked at the two who were holding his arms. "How about the two of you come up with a solution and decide where I should go?"
