"Twelve mirrors correspond to twelve people. The three broken mirrors that we saw earlier represent the three people who died."
When the surrounding people heard Si Yu's words, they all turned to look at him. One of the boys even glared at Si Yu and scolded, "You already guessed it. Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Si Yu glanced at him indifferently and said in a self-deprecating manner, "Would you believe me if I told you?"
"Do you believe that if I stop you, even more of you will break the mirrors?" Si Yu lifted his chin, his thin lips slightly parted as he spoke softly.
When the man heard this, he took two steps back. He was so agitated that he forgot that the person in front of him could be a dead person.
Even Fang Zhi, who was about to question Si Yu, changed his expression when he heard his words.
If he had tried to stop them, what would have happened? Would the others have thought that they were plotting something and broken even more mirrors?
The six people suspected that the three of them were already dead. Without Lin Meng's painting to prove their innocence, the more they tried to stop them, the more people would break the mirrors! Because the six people didn't believe them! The more they tried to stop them, the more they would break the mirrors!
After saying this, Si Yu glanced at them coldly and ignored them. He took two steps forward and started rummaging through the pool of blood on the ground. He collected the mirror fragments on the ground and counted them. The mirror had been broken into 16 pieces. The corpse that had broken the mirror had been broken into 16 pieces.
Although the mirrors of the three people who had died had also been broken, because the mirrors were fixed in front of them, they didn't fall to the ground like this one.
His expression was calm, and Fang Zhi couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Even as a police officer, they had never seen such a scene before. The corpse on the ground was badly mutilated, broken into several pieces, and the entire ground was covered in blood and flesh. Si Yu actually reached his hand into such a pool of blood to search!
Fang Zhi grabbed the corner of Gu Xizhou's shirt. He didn't know how to evaluate Si Yu. He didn't know if Si Yu wanted to test the rules or if he just didn't want to cause more people to break the mirrors.
Si Yu didn't care about this at all. He didn't look at Fang Zhi and the others' pale faces. He was trying to figure out the rules of this world.
"There are a total of 12 people in this mission world. Half of them are newbies. Logically, it should be easy," Si Yu frowned and muttered to himself.
At this moment, the girl named Yuan Yuan suddenly broke down and cried.......... "How did this happen? Didn't you say it was easy? Why did so many people die? So many people died! "
"I don't want to die, I really don't want to die … let me go home! . I want to go home! "
A few rookies were affected by the girl's emotions and were on the verge of breaking down.
"I'll die if I smash the mirror, but I'll die if I don't smash the mirror! We can't go back. We can't go back alive... This is too difficult. It's too difficult... "
The few of them broke down. Seeing this, Brother Lei couldn't help but scold, "Shut up. You newbies shouldn't be crying here. Can you leave if you cry? Hmm? "
"Let's think about how to find the rules!"
Xiao Yu's emotions were still stable. Although she was a little scared, she still spoke clearly, "Each mirror represents a person. If the mirror is accidentally broken, won't we die? Who knows who these mirrors correspond to? "
"No, each mirror corresponds to a person, but it shouldn't be fixed." Gu Xizhou answered her question. He pointed at the dead bodies on the ground, "There were nine of us just now, so we corresponded to nine mirrors. If he got the mirror that corresponded to him, the probability was one in eight. Do you think he would be so unlucky?"
"The only one who died was the person who broke the mirror."
Si Yu nodded and said calmly, "I think so too."
"Then, then what do we do now? We can't break the mirror. Who knows when that thing will appear? What if it suddenly appears when everyone is asleep? What should we do? "Xiao Yu asked anxiously.
"I don't know. This is unsolvable!" Dong Chao's lips were white. "This world is too difficult …"
"Er … Let's put the mirror away first. Don't break it," Brother Lei said helplessly.
A long time after his voice fell, the people who had been very obedient all this time did not make a move.
"What's wrong?" Brother Lei asked.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the six, and he soon understood what they were thinking. They would die if the mirror was broken, and they would die if they accidentally moved the mirror. When they were looking for the mirror earlier, they didn't have this worry, but after knowing the meaning of these mirrors, they didn't dare touch them again.
Even Gu Xizhou felt uncomfortable when he saw these mirrors. He was not afraid that the monster would suddenly appear, but he was worried that he would accidentally break the mirror and cause his death. Compared to the monster, the thing that confused him was the strange rules of the mission world.
"Since you're all afraid, I'll take a mirror and leave." Gu Xizhou followed the crowd to the table where the mirrors were placed. He picked up a mirror from the table, and his grip was tighter than usual. Si Yu frowned at him and followed him to take a mirror. Fang Zhi saw Gu Xizhou and Si Yu each take a mirror, so he took one as well.
It was already very late, so the three of them walked down the corridor and returned to the room.
Fang Zhi felt that he wasn't holding a mirror in his hand, but his ancestor. He was just short of kneeling in front of the mirror. His twenty-odd years of worldview had been destroyed in a matter of days.
He looked at his hand in a daze. His hand was stained with warm blood, and a living person was torn apart in front of him. All of this told him that he was really in a supernatural world, a strange space where supernatural phenomena could happen at any time!
"Why are you taking a mirror?" Si Yu asked after entering the room.
Gu Xizhou said, "Each person has a mirror. I want to choose one that I like."
Si Yu said, "… Speak human."
Gu Xizhou carefully placed the mirror in the drawer. "I think these mirrors have other uses."
Si Yu looked at the mirror in his hand and nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Fang Zhi placed the mirror he was holding in the drawer. In order to protect the mirror in the drawer, he even wrapped it in a soft towel.
Gu Xizhou continued, "Previously, you said that this world is very simple. Now, five people have died. Fortunately, our dormitory is safe."
Si Yu looked at him and frowned slightly. He muttered to himself, "Simple … This world is very simple. We are safe …"
"You've reminded me!" Si Yu suddenly said.
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi looked at him at the same time. "What did you think of?"
Si Yu didn't tell them the answer. Instead, he said, "Go to bed early. I think someone will die tomorrow."
"…" Fang Zhi was shocked when he heard Si Yu's words. He quickly went back to his bed and lay down, wrapping his blanket tightly around himself.
The image of the man's mangled corpse was still in his mind!
Fang Zhi was already asleep that night. Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu on the left side of the bed and called out softly, "Hey, are you asleep?"
The man turned over and gave him a look. He raised his eyebrows slightly. "What?"
Gu Xizhou looked at him. "Why didn't you say anything back then? If you had said something earlier, he wouldn't have died. You were very nice to those people in the other world. Today, you even came back to look for me and Fang Zhi … "
Si Yu was silent for a moment. His deep eyes moved slightly in the darkness. His voice was a little hoarse. "I encountered a similar rule in the past. Many people died that time. Some of them weren't supposed to die."
Gu Xizhou said, "It's not your fault … You don't have to blame yourself."
Si Yu said, "I don't blame myself."
Gu Xizhou had a knowing expression on his face and nodded with pity. This gigolo was really strong.
Si Yu was speechless.
The next day, Gu Xizhou and the others woke up early. After breakfast, they accompanied Lin Meng to the reservoir to sketch. The three of them were the first to enter the painting. In the painting, the three of them had fair skin and angry expressions.
The others entered the painting one by one. Since there was one less person, Brother Lei was added to the last group. In the painting … Brother Lei and Xiao Yu had fair skin. Dong Chao, who entered the painting with them, had the same horrified expression as the three people who died a few days ago.
Gu Xizhou looked at the painting. "Now you believe that the three of us aren't dead, right?"
Although they were sure that Gu Xizhou and the others were still alive, Brother Lei and the others didn't look too good. His voice trembled slightly. "Dong Chao is dead."
Si Yu was speechless. "… Yes." After the mirror broke yesterday, he had a rough idea of what was going on. Now that he saw the dead man, he was even more certain of his guess. Ever since they arrived here, someone had died every night, but that thing had never come to their room at night!
In fact, it was very simple. This should be one of the rules. If there were three people in the room at night, it couldn't kill the people in the room.
Although this rule seemed absurd, Si Yu had reason to believe it. Imagine if on the first day, everyone slept in the rooms assigned to them by the male owner. That night, there should be three people in each room. Then, no one would die!
After returning to the villa and waiting for Lin Meng to leave, Si Yu told the others his thoughts. The others were confused.
Brother Lei somewhat understood Si Yu's meaning. He hesitated. "No, that's impossible, right?"
Gu Xizhou already knew what he meant. "No, I think what he said is right."
"Firstly, if on the first day, we slept in the rooms assigned to us by the male owner, no one would die on the first night. This world is indeed very simple. From the very beginning, the original conditions given by the world wouldn't cause anyone to die. "
"Secondly, Lin Meng gave us hints. She wouldn't refuse our repeated requests to paint. Every time, no matter how many of us there are, the three of us have to paint together."
"Thirdly, the sound upstairs can help us determine whether the people among us are dead or alive."
"Fourthly, the broken mirror."
Si Yu nodded in agreement with Gu Xizhou's words. "Looking at it carefully, this world gives a lot of hints. It's more than any world I've been in before!"
Brother Lei suddenly understood. "So … that's why …"
The others seemed to accept what Gu Xizhou and Si Yu said. Just as they were happy to understand the rules, except for Gu Xizhou and the others, the remaining four people looked at each other. There were seven of them. This meant that one of them was destined to sleep alone tonight!
