    Chapter 136: Falling into a trap┃May I ask, who did you just say has no dignity?

    Someone spoke, and the shadows on the wall were startled and all shrank back.

    The next second, Youhuo vaguely heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.

    “Run away?” Qin Zhu came over.

    “Did you hear it too?” Youhuo said.

    “The ears are not as sensitive as some people.” Qin Jiu pointed to his eyes and said, “I just saw a shadow crossing over the wall – what are you looking at me for?”

    What kind of rogue description is sensitive?

    Youhuo’s face was expressionless.

    Qin Jiu touched his face: “Why, is it stained with something dirty?”

    Youhuo saw that he had a very serious expression, and felt that he had misunderstood.he looked back and said seriously: “No, just take a look. Just now——”

    Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Qin Jiu smiling from the corner of his eye.

    Youhuo raised his foot and gave him a little kick on his calf.

    His strength was not strong and Qin Zhu didn’t even give in.he laughed and said, “Why are you kicking me?”

    Youhuo said indifferently: “I can’t control it. I have a knee-jerk reaction when I hear nonsense.”

    “It’s the first time I’ve seen such a big knee-jerk reaction. It’s an eye-opener.” Qin Jiu asked unhurriedly: “So which word did I use wrongly in what I said before? Could you please correct me, Mr. Examiner, and I’ll see if I can change it.”

    “…”

    Youhuo’s lips moved.

    The smile in Qin Zhu’s eyes deepened.

    Youhuo raised his chin towards where everyone was in the distance and said, “Go over there if you make trouble.”

    Qin Jiu raised his hand and made a cross in front of his lips, then made a “please” gesture and said, “What did you want to say just now? Continue.”

    Go on, forget it.

    Youhuo stared at he angrily, and then said for a moment: “Have you seen what those are?”

    Qin Jiu shook his head: “It’s too dark. But he should be a candidate. Mirror people are not that tired of climbing over the wall.”

    “I think so too.” Youhuo said in confusion, “But why are the candidates following us?”

    Lee in the distance: “…”

    he feels like a wisp of air.

    “Hey -” He raised his hand and waved it, signaling You Huo and Qin Zhu to look at him: “Is there anything over there? I said I found a mirror, right here!”

    He pointed to a small house behind him and said, “I’m sure it’s in the house!”

    You Huo and Qin Zhu looked at each other and then walked over there calmly.

    ***

    Although this house is small, it does not prevent the owner from creating a “maze” inside.

    Probably to separate as many rooms as possible, the layout is very strange.

    “Is this house afraid that children will find the door?” Yu Wen couldn’t help but say.

    Lee raised his nose and said while sniffing: “You are right. Since there were more mirror people in the town, the townspeople began to renovate the houses, making the layout more and more complex. This way, if the mirror people come over, they can use the wall to block it and delay it for a while. It can also prevent the little ghosts from running out randomly.”

    “Does that work?”

    “What do you think?” Lee spread his hands, “Is this the result if it is effective?”

    “It seems to have had some effect at first. It’s really good to hide and delay. But there are more and more people who can’t stand the mirror image. Their number is growing too fast.”

    Lee paused as he spoke, then smiled bitterly and said, “Oh, that’s wrong, it’s us.”

    Speaking of quantity, Youhuo has always been a little confused.

    The original number of townspeople was much larger than that of the mirror people. Logically speaking, they should be able to pay up quickly. Why did the situation reverse in the end and the townspeople became a minority?

    he asked briefly, and Lee said: “At first, we couldn’t find a suitable mist, and the mirror people went crazy with hunger. It was a terrible massacre. Later, the townspeople got a clue, and the mirror people began to consciously reproduce – we call it reproduction, but it actually means creating new ones through mirrors.”

    “How to create?”

    “Transform the townspeople.” Lee said vaguely, “Sorry, this reminds me of some not-so-good scenes. It’s like a nightmare. I don’t want to say more.”

    “Oh, you were also transformed?” Yu Wen covered his mouth again after speaking, “Okay, let’s not mention it.”

    He shut up wisely, but Brother He didn’t.

    You Huo said: “What are the benefits of transformation? Didn’t you say that mirror people will also kill each other?”

    Lee said: “Yes, but the mirror person you transformed into may be a little friendlier, right? They are family members, and they will have scruples if they are hungry.”

    They walked around the wall of the entrance hall and passed through the living room. Suddenly, they smelled a trace of blood floating in the air.

    Youhuo frowned.

    For today’s he people, the smell of blood is like opening the lid of a feast, which accidentally whets one’s appetite.

    Lee focused all his attention on looking for the mirror and didn’t care much about the smell of blood.

    He is still saying: “Later, the number of mirror people grew faster. Do you know why?”

    Yu Wen held back his saliva, tried his best to divert his attention, and cheered: “Why?”

    “Because some townspeople actively want to be converted.”

    “What? Are you crazy and taking the initiative?”

    “It sounds crazy,” Lee said. “But try to imagine that you live on a certain street, and your neighbors on the left and right have become mirror images. The houses are empty one after another. From time to time, something will climb through your window and threaten you. You don’t know how long you can live, whether you can survive today, or whether you can survive tomorrow.”

    Everyone tried to think about it and felt a chill.

    “It’s scary, right? At times like this, some people will think: Why don’t you become a mirror person? If you become a mirror person, you don’t have to suffer this kind of sin, and you will transform from a prey to a predator.” Lee said softly: “The speed can become faster, the strength can become stronger, and the five senses will be sharper. I can feel the townspeople approaching, but they can’t detect my voice…”

    Maybe it’s because he’s voice is very soft and his tone is relatively gentle, but this sentence actually sounds very reasonable.

    Di Li suddenly said: “I want to try it after hearing it.”

    Lee paused, laughed dryly and said, “Stop joking.”

    “Really.” Di Li looked serious: “Think about it objectively, we candidates…ah, you may not understand why we say we are candidates, so just be guests. Anyway, being guests like us is really at a disadvantage as townspeople. First, you must make sure you find a weapon, and then you must make sure your shooting is accurate. Then, if your hands cannot shake when you see the mirror image, it is best to have companions to help attack together. Only by meeting so many conditions can you survive for a few more days.”

    He spread his hands and said: “I just thought about it. The safest way is to transform yourself into a mirror person after entering the examination room. It is much easier to survive than a town citizen, and then use a few days to find the special transformation mirror you mentioned. If you find it, follow it closely. When the exam ends, use the mirror to transform yourself back into a town citizen. Perfect!”

    Lee seemed surprised and raised his eyebrows.

    He looked at Di Li, nodded after a while and said, “In fact, there are indeed many guests like you who would choose this approach.”

    “A lot?”

    “Yes, a lot.”

    While he was talking, the street radio suddenly rang again.

    Throughout the day, the radio rang many times.Every time it rings, it means another candidate has died.

    But this broadcast is very special. The system calmly broadcasts:

    [Candidate Alexander encounters extremely hungry Yves and is pronounced dead.】

    [Candidate Chen Jingjing encountered an extremely hungry Yves and was pronounced dead.】

    [Candidate Hailey encountered an extremely hungry Yves and was pronounced dead.】

    “Hungry Yves???”

    Everyone was stunned.

    It used to be called “The Extremely Hungry Mirror Man”, but today it suddenly has a name.

    They immediately realized that this was what Lee was talking about.Some candidates took the initiative to transform into mirror people and turned themselves into predators.

    Di Li said: “Look, this person should be analyzed together with me. He is a rational person.”

    Yu Wen: “???”

    “Xueba, what did you eat? Why are you talking so strangely?”

    “You just had a bad meal! I just lamented that the environment is dangerous.” Di Li said, and said to Lee: “Really?”

    Lee: “…right.”

    Maybe the topic was going in the wrong direction, so no one spoke again.Lee opened the doors one by one and looked for the mirror intently.

    The further inside, the stronger the smell of blood in the room became.

    Youhuo paused for a moment.

    His lips and throat become dry and his hunger returns.

    “Not found yet?” he asked, his face paler than usual.

    Lee looked at he and explained sarcastically: “The smell of blood will indeed be stronger where the mirror is, because every mirror is the base camp of the mirror person. There should be many mirror people here. If you just be patient, you will be in the last room.”

    he said, turning the door handle.

    The moment the door opened, the overwhelming smell of blood surged up.

    Too terrible…

    There was a “buzz” in everyone’s mind, as if someone had hit their brain stem hard.

    It was a dizzy feeling.

    Those with weaker willpower, such as Yu Wen, now only have four big words left in their minds – for stuttering!

    Anyone is welcome, anything is fine, as long as it can relieve he’s hunger.

    He Now whenever I see a neck, I want to bite it.

    I’m like this, what about my brother?

    Yu Wen thought.

    He turned around and looked over in his daze. Before he could see You Huo, he first noticed that Lee and his wife Kelly were missing. Also missing were Di Li and Jonny and several of his students.

    He was obviously still standing there just now!

    he swept around.

    In his maddening hunger, he suddenly realized that there was no mirror in this open room, only blood flowing all over the floor.

    ***

    Two strange figures walked like ghosts in the night.

    Every blink of an eye, they will appear further away, and disappear at the end of the road in a few seconds.

    These two figures are none other than Lee and Kelly.

    The reason the shadows are oddly shaped is because they are carrying a person on either side of their shoulders.

    The extraordinary strength of the mirror figures is clearly demonstrated at this moment. The thin and pale couple carry the portrait and cotton, their faces unchanged and breathless.

    Brandon Town is criss-crossed with alleys and wide streets, at least a hundred of them.

    Lee and Kelly were familiar with each other. They knew exactly where to turn at which intersection, as if they had walked there thousands of times.

    They walked through several blocks, passed four forks, and followed the end of a small river to the edge of the woods.

    This is the edge of the town, and the woods spread all the way up the hill. Going up the stone steps is the cemetery in Brandon Town.

    Lee looked around a few times before walking into the cemetery.

    He stopped in front of a tall cross tombstone and dropped the man on his shoulders to the ground.

    Di Li, Jonny and the other two candidates were lying unconscious.

    While Youhuo and the others were dizzy with hunger, Lee and Kelly knocked down these four real ordinary people and used the layout of the hut to successfully get these people here.

    “Is it safe?” Kelly asked in a low voice, “My eyelids keep twitching.”

    “Only a living person’s eyelids can twitch.” Lee said bluntly.

    Kelly said: “You know what I mean, it’s the first time I’ve met such a customer.”

    Lee said: “Don’t be nervous, I can guarantee that our guests are enjoying supper in the room just now.”

    “In case…”

    “There is no chance.” Lee interrupted her, “How many mirror people can hold back so much blood? No one.”

    Kelly pointed at he and then at himself: “We didn’t kneel on the ground and lick the blood.”

    “We are different,” Lee said. “We created so many children.”

    He squatted down and took out a shovel from the bushes.

    Judging from the proficiency of the movements, there is definitely no shortage of them.

    Lee shoveled away the loess on the surface to reveal the coffin underneath.With a few fingers, he took off the nail on the coffin lid and opened the coffin lid.

    Surprisingly, there was no one lying in the coffin, only a huge mirror.

    As Lee said, this mirror is very special at first glance. It is completely different from the full-length mirror we saw at Xueli’s house.

    The mirror is surrounded by silver-black retro patterns, and a six-pointed star is made up of fine jewelry fragments on the top.

    “What are you doing?!” Di Li’s voice suddenly sounded.

    Lee is so excited.

    He looked up and saw that the students had woken up and were looking at him with vigilance and fear. The one who was most afraid was Di Li, whose legs were so weak and trembling that it seemed that they were not he.

    Lee smiled “Haha”: “I don’t have anything to do, I just came to do you a little favor.”

    “Help us?” Di Li looked shocked, as if he had never seen such a shameless person.

    “Didn’t you say that according to theoretical analysis, the probability of transforming into a mirror person and surviving is high?” Lee said softly and gently: “I’m here to help you.”

    Jonny immediately said: “No!”

    “Yes, this is a ready-made mirror. I also picked the best one for you.” Lee said.

    “No!” Di Li said, looking at the mirror in the coffin, and saw the six-pointed star with sharp eyes.

    He glanced over and said to Lee: “What use will transforming us do to you? Didn’t you say it yourself? No, at least there is no obvious benefit.”

    “Do you really believe what I said?”

    Lee gave a short laugh: “Of course there are benefits. If there are no benefits, why don’t I just suck you dry?”

    “The mirror people I transformed are equivalent to my children. When I need them, they will follow me, such as hunting near the movie. If they drink enough blood, my hunger will be reduced even if I don’t find a suitable blood supply object.”

    “With them here, I can live as calmly as before and enjoy my vacation. Tell me, why not?” Lee said.

    “So this mirror can’t turn us back?” Di Li asked.

    “Yes. I won’t lie. Of course I can turn back. But why should I turn around? Now, I not only have skills and speed beyond ordinary people, but I can also ensure that most of them are awake and will not become a walking zombie.”

    Di Li glanced behind Lee and Kelly with his peripheral vision, and continued: “Aren’t you afraid that my Brother You and Brother Qin will come to your door?”

    “Do you know how much restraint it takes for the mirror people to face so much blood? Especially they haven’t eaten enough before.” Lee smiled and said: “I guarantee with my head, they are kneeling on the ground right now, licking the blood without dignity.”

    he said, shook his head and repeated: “No dignity.”

    Just after saying these four words, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head.

    The next second, he was grabbed by the back of the neck and pushed into the coffin.

    The bridge of his nose squeezed against the bottom mirror, distorting it almost out of shape.Through the mirror, he saw two more people behind him.

    One of them picked up Kelly, while the other put his foot on the edge of the coffin, grabbed him by the neck and picked him up. A low voice sounded in his ears: “Thank you for leading the way and helping us find the mirror. I’d like to ask, who did you just say has no dignity?”

    “…”

    Lee’s voice: grass.
