With the hope of reuniting with her friends, Xiaolan followed Xia Hua and Yi Yao and confidently walked out of the dean's office door.
As soon as he went out, Xiaolan was really shocked.
The world outside the door was dark, with only the white light emitted from the door vaguely outlining the surrounding area. Xiaolan blinked and looked intently at her feet.
Under her feet, there was a pool of black and red viscous liquid. Xiaolan raised her feet, but the liquid seemed to be stuck to the soles of her shoes, pulling out black and red threads.
There is a strange smell floating in the air.
"It's weird," Xia Hua also noticed something under her feet, "There wasn't this thing just now."
As the words fell, a sound like waves gradually surged in the darkness not far away.
That voice is getting closer.
The three of them looked at each other blankly, and then, almost at the same time, they showed horrified expressions.
The sound of water...
The dean, who died of drowning, began to attack.
***
Several people took turns looking at the mirror, but they couldn't see any change in it.
After making difficult decisions (mainly persuading Zhou Ye), several people finally made up their minds to enter the backwaters to find Xia Hua, but a new problem posed before them - how to get in?
"How about breaking it and taking a look?" Zhou Ye sat on the toilet next to him and reluctantly watched them working for a long time, then asked, "Maybe the entrance is at the back."
Luo Jiutian put down the toilet brush in his hand, turned around and said helplessly, "Do you think we haven't tried it?"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "There is no way to break it. There is not even a scratch. Sure enough, this is no ordinary mirror."
"I think we can work backwards," Li Muyuan said thoughtfully, holding his chin, "How did the head of the Xiahua family get in?"
"I still think Sister Hua was caught," Luo Jiutian said. "I know Sister Hua. She will never leave us here and go on an adventure by herself without saying a word."
"Then let's assume that Xia Hua was taken away," Li Muyuan continued, "she must have triggered some conditions before she was sucked in by the stagnant water."
Everyone understood what Li Muyuan meant.
"What were Xia Hua doing when she disappeared?" the Taoist priest followed his train of thought and asked.
"Taking a...bath?" Zhou Ye said tentatively.
"No, she should have just finished taking a shower," Luo Jiutian replied, "Sister Hua just walked out of the bathroom and disappeared."
"Then how about we play it again exactly as it is?" Li Muyuan put forward a more constructive suggestion.
"Uh...then who will act?" Zhou Ye asked.
The eyes of several people all turned to Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye shivered.
A few minutes later, Zhou Ye, who was angry and scared, turned off the shower in front of everyone, wrapped himself in the bathrobe next to him, reluctantly imitated Xia Hua's steps, and walked to the bathroom door.
He took a deep breath nervously and reached out to push open the door.
Walked out slowly.
One step...two steps...
Nothing happened.
Zhou Ye relaxed his tone and walked the remaining few steps calmly before returning to the bathroom and shrugging at the people hiding behind the shower curtain, "You see, I can't do it."
"What's the problem?" Li Muyuan bit his lower lip.
"By the way," the Taoist priest said suddenly, "didn't we fall asleep when Xia Hua's accident happened?"
Luo Jiutian nodded, "So we still have to pretend to be asleep now, right?"
"Our sleep at that time was very abnormal," Li Muyuan said calmly. "We fell into an extremely deep sleep at the same time. This has never happened before."
"You mean that the force that captured Sister Hua had already started to attack Sister Hua when we entered this room?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"I'm afraid that's the case," the Taoist priest said.
"Then Xia Hua must have some special qualities that were noticed by that force." Zhou Ye tried hard to get rid of the job of pretending to be Xia Hua. "What could it be?... Could it be because of Xia Hua?" It’s too strong, so we have to choose someone strong..."
"Maybe it's not because of the power..." the Taoist priest said implicitly.
After all, there is a future human god on the scene. Although Luo Jiutian is still in his unfinished body, when it comes to potential power, no one can compare to him.
"Is it because of gender?" Li Muyuan asked, narrowing his eyes.
Zhou Ye breathed another sigh of relief.
Gender, fortunately, at least I am not a woman.
"Then... is that power an old pervert?" Luo Jiutian was so surprised that his hair stood up, "Oh my God... Sister Hua..."
"Don't worry about your sister Hua. As far as I know, anyone who dares to miss the Xiahua family will not end well," Li Muyuan said calmly, "But if it is really because the Xiahua family is a girl, they were sucked into that world. If so...how should we get in?"
Everyone frowned and thought for a while, and then their eyes gradually focused on Zhou Ye.
"What are you looking at me for?!" Zhou Ye was so excited that he almost stepped on the bath towel in his hand, "I'm a man!"
"But you are a beautiful boy," Luo Jiutian said, "very fair and delicate."
Zhou Ye had never felt that being looked at by a man was such a disgusting thing.
"I'm not white, and I'm not pretty," Zhou Ye said quickly, "I think Li Muyuan is more beautiful."
The Taoist priest and Luo Jiutian looked at Li Muyuan again.
"Don't look at me, I'm not beautiful," Li Muyuan said expressionlessly, "Besides, Zhou Ye, if you dare to push me out, I won't want your injured leg."
Zhou Ye was aggrieved and turned into a crying cat. He sat there and shut himself up for a long time. Finally, he mustered up the courage, gritted his teeth and raised his head and asked, "Tell me, what should I do?"
Compared with his dignity, he still cares more about his injured leg.
Half an hour later, the new plan was implemented.
It’s still a familiar team, and it’s still a familiar “heroine”.
This time, the other people were lying down in the living room, while Zhou Ye stood alone under the showerhead and actually took a shower.
The moment he turned off the shower, the surroundings returned to silence.
There was a light yellow mist in the bathroom. Zhou Ye sighed, wrapped himself in a bath towel and put on his slippers.
Zhou Ye walked to the mirror and took a look at the mirror.
The mirror was filled with steam again.
Behind the steam, something seemed to be flowing.
He could hear even breathing coming from outside the door.
Damn it, they couldn't really be asleep, could they?
Then I will really hate them.
Zhou Ye hugged his shoulders, shivered, took heavy steps, and reached out to grab the bathroom door.
An inexplicable chill rolled over him from behind.
Zhou Ye closed his eyes helplessly.
I'm afraid...this plan really succeeded...
