Under the gaze of Beibei and Lily, Huanxiao suggested:
"Let's go find the cart first. The cart's location is exactly what we all know."
The cart fell into the original house when they were chased by the female ghost NPC.
Beibei immediately nodded in approval and said:
"Yes, we can push the cart out to install the props."
As she said this, she inexplicably remembered the opening remarks of the store employee when she entered the mirror maze.
The person in the mirror is learning how the person outside the mirror behaves. Not sure if it was an illusion, but Beibei felt that the figure in the mirror was different from the one he saw before.
"Beibei, don't be in a daze, go find it quickly"
Lily's sudden voice made Beibei instantly forget the weird thing he had just thought of.
"I know, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Beibei has been dissatisfied with Lily for a long time, and now she doesn't want to talk to Lily at all.
So, Beibei picked up Huanxiao and left without any intention of waiting for Lily to catch up with them.
"Beibei, do you remember the way to the cart?"
Huan Xiao asked.
They walked past the two broken mirrors.
Beibei felt a chill coming over her, but she didn't pay attention. She just thought it was because of the air conditioner and replied to Huan Xiao:
"Of course I remember, I have a very good memory."
As I walked around a corner, I saw a dark figure suddenly appear in front of me.
Countless mirrors split the black shadow into many pieces, which was really scary to look at in the dark.
Like a deformed monster.
Beibei was so frightened that she pulled Huanxiao and started to run backwards.
However, at this time, the black shadow spoke.
"Wait, it's me, I'm an employee of this store"
It's a man's voice.
When they heard the voice, Huanxiao and Beibei stopped and watched the man running over.
As they got closer, they could see the man's face and clothes clearly.
It was a young man wearing short-sleeved clothes. They had not seen this man when they entered.
Huan Xiao asked:
"Are you here to take us out?"
"No, no, I'm lost and can't find my way out. Can you take me out?"
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand, smiling warmly and friendlyly.
"Aren't you an employee of this store? You still don't know the way out?"
Beibei suspected that the man was not an employee of the store.
But then, the man took out an employee ID card from his trouser pocket and confirmed his words, saying:
"My name is Li Jun. I'm a new employee. I got lost when I came to get familiar with the environment."
"Oh, that's it, then let's take you out."
Seeing this, Beibei knew that she was overthinking, and smiled at Li Jun sheepishly.
Seeing Beibei planning to leave the maze, Huan Xiao asked from the side:
"Are we not looking for those four things?"
"If I don't look for it anymore, who will play with them...ahem"
Realizing that there was an employee of this store in front of her, Beibei stopped cursing in time and said vaguely:
"The surveillance cameras are broken. There's nothing fun. I just agreed because I was so angry with Lily. Anyway, she's not coming with me now. Let's leave as soon as we leave."
Then, Beibei said to Li Jun:
"Follow us, I remember the way out"
"Okay, please, I'll treat you to dinner when you go out."
Li Jun smiled brightly.
After hearing this, Beibei quickly waved her hands and refused:
"No, it's nothing. It's just a little effort. Let's go."
After saying that, she and Huan Xiao walked in front to lead Li Jun.
After walking for a while, Beibei felt it was too quiet, so he took the initiative and said:
"There are so many mirrors here, won't your employees be scared when you come in?"
After a few seconds, Li Jun's voice came from behind.
"No, mirrors are good friends. They are as close as a mother's arms. You are afraid just because you don't regard them as friends."
Beibei didn't know what to say. She asked Huanxiao:
"Xiaoxiao, can a mirror be a friend?"
"A mirror is lifeless, so why treat it as a friend?"
Huanxiao answered without hesitation.
So, Beibei asked:
"Li Jun, do you think mirrors are alive?"
She originally asked casually as a joke, but unexpectedly Li Jun grinned and said:
"Of course, every mirror is a life"
These words made Beibei shudder.
She didn't understand why Li Jun's answer made her so uncomfortable, as if a person was talking to a ghost.
"Beibei, there is no way ahead"
Huan Xiao pointed to the mirror reflected in front of him, seemingly unaware of Li Jun's abnormality.
Beibei, who was suspicious in his heart, pulled Huan Xiao away from Li Jun, then looked at the road ahead and said:
"I remember this is the way out, why is it blocked by a mirror?"
"The maze's mechanism must have been triggered."
Li Jun talked eloquently and said:
"The mechanisms of the mirror maze can also be controlled inside the maze. The control room is in the center of the maze. Players generally don't go there. We may be able to go to the control room to adjust the mirror back to its original position."
Li Jun did not notice Beibei's alienation.
He took advantage of his background as an employee and informed the two of them of the existence of the control room.
At first Beibei didn't notice anything was wrong and said:
"If there is a control room, please tell me earlier. Let's go to the control room now."
"Okay, I happen to know the location. I'll take you there."
Li Jun nodded, then turned around and led the way.
Beibei and Huanxiao followed him silently.
The figures in the mirror also moved with them. At first glance, it looked like there were people coming and going, which was quite lively.
Beibei felt uneasy. The dim environment and the unfamiliar guide in front of her gave her a bad feeling.
Suddenly, she discovered the flaw in what Li Jun said just now.
Li Jun clearly knew the way to the control room, but told them that he could not find the way out of the maze. These two points were contradictory and proved that Li Jun was lying.
She dragged Huan Xiao and stared at Li Jun's back warily.
Huan Xiao noticed her nervousness and mouthed silently:
"What's wrong?"
When Beibei saw this, she said silently:
"I don't think he is a good person"
"Then shall we run?" Huan Xiao asked silently.
Beibei's eyes flickered, hesitating between following Li Jun to the control room or leaving with Huan Xiao.
If she runs away now, she might be caught in the trap by Li Jun. After all, Li Jun seems to be very familiar with the maze terrain, and the way out is now blocked, making it difficult for them to get out.
And if she didn't run, she wouldn't be sure whether Li Jun took them to the control room or some other place.
To be honest, neither option is the best.
But if they attack rashly, the two of them may not be able to beat Li Jun, an adult man, and they may be killed soon... Moreover, Beibei feels that Li Jun has a lot of doubts.
At this moment, Li Jun subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand, which caught Beibei's attention.
She was horrified and her mind was running wildly. On the surface, she tried calmly:
"Li Jun, there seems to be something stuck on the mirror on the left. Can you see if it's the label you forgot to remove?"
Hearing this, Li Jun turned to the right without warning, and then asked:
"What label? Why didn't I see it?"
Seeing this, Beibei felt chills all over his body.
She grabbed Huan Xiao and ran away in the opposite direction to Li Jun without any hesitation.
