Chapter 47 Classic Movie Appreciation (Twenty-one)
"What are you doing? Let me go, ahhhh!"
The closer the body was to the mirror, the sharper and harsher Xiaohong's voice became, and the whole ghost became visibly panicked.
However, her reaction further verified Tang Xinjue's guess. Just when the rubber head was about to pull out the mirror, the force poured into the toilet plunger suddenly increased to the extreme, and a wet female ghost's head was forcibly pulled out of the mirror.
Xiao Hong was still screaming: "You will regret this! I will make your life worse than death, and make you suffer... Gululu..."
The howling was drowned out by the water gushing out of the rubber head.
Tang Xin Jue raised the corners of his mouth, pulling up a trace of arc without a smile: "How boring it is to hide in the mirror and shout, let's talk face to face and settle all the new and old grudges——"
"Gululu! Gululu!..."
The neck and arms along with the head were also pulled out of the mirror. Xiaohong finally felt a sense of crisis and gave up cursing and tried to retract her hands. However, a strong force immediately clamped her arms and pressed her down to the sink.
Tang Xin Jue: "If you keep struggling, the next time the toilet will pull out your hair, it might be your hair."
Xiao Hong: “…”
Disfigurement or baldness, that is the question.
But she soon had no time to think about this problem, as Tang Xinjue had ruthlessly pulled out half of her body, and then the toilet plunger turned forcefully, pressing her head downwards into the sink.
The toilet plunger tried to swallow the ghost, but the ghost's strength level exceeded the upper limit of its menu. After failing, it spat out a few strands of rotten seaweed-like hair.
Xiaohong: Alpaca, I am disfigured and bald.
Tang Xin Jue placed his hands on the plastic rod and whispered, "If I'm right, one of your abilities should be the ability to imitate the examinee. When you succeed, in addition to having the same body and appearance as the examinee, you will also share the other person's life. If you get hurt in the mirror, the person you imitate will also get hurt in the same way."
This is also why after transforming into Tang Xin Jue, Xiao Hong suddenly made a move to self-mutilate - ghosts can survive if they are broken into a hundred or eighty pieces, but once a person is determined to have his head and body separated, he will die.
At this point, Tang Xin Jue's eyes fell on the ghost girl's arms: "Since you can imitate us, can you disassemble your imitated body and give it to us?"
Xiao Hong: “??? ”
She gathered her strength again and tried to raise her head, wanting to take a look at this pervert who made her so horrified.
Tang Xin Jue was already measuring the length of his arm: "With the sharpness of the toilet plunger, it may not be impossible to cut it off..."
Zheng Wanqing, who had just lost a hand and was about to be arranged to have a limb replaced, said: "...Wait, wait!"
She shook her arm. After the spray stopped the bleeding, a scab quickly formed on the cross-section of the wound. Although it was still frightening, it was much better than when it was bleeding continuously at the beginning.
Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss, Zheng Wanqing's lips turned grayish white, and her bloody body was as miserable as Xiaohong's. However, this did not prevent her from staring at Xiaohong with her natural European double eyelids, and her sharp and bright eyes were fixed on her:
"I don't want to use her hand."
Haha, humans are just hypocritical. Xiaohong rolled her eyes in disdain in her hair.
Immediately, the beautiful girl spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "Cut the ghost into pieces and freeze them into ice cubes like the remains of the phantom demon. Can I put them on my body as enchanted armor?"
She couldn't find any armor that suited her taste in the student mall; it was too expensive.
Feeling the burning gaze from the side, Xiaohong: "..."
Is there any normal person in your dormitory 606?
Zhang You tried to dissuade them: "We have just entered the dungeon. If we attack the dungeon NPC now, it might affect the plot. Otherwise, we should first force her to get more information about the dungeon, and then we can attack her at the end."
As soon as the words fell, a faint female voice floated out from the sink where the hair was piled up: "I'm not deaf."
…
In the silent air, Xiaohong slowly raised her arms and patted the sink twice.
Hitting the ground during a fight means admitting defeat due to lack of strength.
This time, Tang Xinjue didn't need to pull her anymore. She crawled out of the mirror by herself, her wet red skirt hugging her legs, and she curled up on the sink with a very resentful look on her face.
"What do you want to ask?"
After coming out of the mirror, Xiaohong became much less eerie as a ghost, and the sense of oppression she gave people also decreased.
Tang Xin Jue leaned against the sink and studied it: "The space inside the mirror will increase your strength. Once you leave the mirror, your strength will decline."
Facing the female ghost's angry gaze, Tang Xinjue nodded again: "It should not be just that. After all, according to the rules, you should have the home advantage in the entire instance. So what really scares you is not leaving the mirror, but leaving the mirror before completing my death conditions."
Xiaohong appears in her mirror at the beginning, proving that she was chosen as the first target to be killed. According to the plot of the movie, killing her is the task of the ghost in the mirror.
"According to the normal plot, I should be dragged into the mirror, your power will be enhanced, and then you will kill the next person..."
It was just unfortunate that Tang Xinjue's supernatural power just happened to suppress Xiaohong, and because they were old acquaintances, he guessed the other party's ability in advance as soon as they met, so that now the situation is completely reversed.
Ghosts that no longer have information gaps are much less dangerous, just like horror games that have been spoiled in advance.
Xiao Hong rolled her eyes and said, "You've already said everything. What else can I say?"
Tang Xin Jue lowered his gaze and said, "No, Shang Yinghong, there is a lot more you can say, such as how to restore my roommate's arm to normal, and how to end the dungeon without triggering the death condition."
Xiao Hong rolled her eyes again, "Don't call me that name! Humph, if I were still in the mirror now, this would also be a death condition... Oh, provided that the person outside is not you."
The ghost girl suddenly felt that life was boring. "As for your roommate's arm, what does it have to do with me? I didn't remove it , so of course I can't give it back to her. Even if you really cut off my arm, you can't put it back on her unless you can perform surgery on the spot... Wait, you're not a medical student, are you?"
It nervously observed the environment, and when it saw that the four people didn't look like they would be able to take out surgical equipment from their pockets in the next second, it lazily retreated back: "That's all I can say. Even without me, are you safe? Hehehe, the really difficult part of this dungeon is the plot."
"Will the story end if you don't die?"
Seeing the four people silent, the female ghost's pale face showed a malicious smile again. Tang Xinjue stared at her expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly said: "The so-called plot, as shown in the movie, is that the characters are killed one by one by the mirror ghost."
"But logically, this plot is not valid when transferred to the dungeon. Especially in a C-level dungeon, if all the candidates must be killed according to the process before the end, then I can reasonably suspect that it is a difficulty scam on us."
“So looking at it from another perspective, if the death of each character is a [link], and statistically comparing the death process of each person in the movie, it can be broken down into two actions: something comes out of the mirror, and something goes into the mirror.”
The female ghost reaches out from the mirror and drags the target into the mirror, marking the end of a link.
Following Tang Xin Jue's train of thought, Zhang You's eyes lit up: "...But the movie doesn't specify who can enter and exit this link!"
In other words, if the ghosts coming in and out are all female ghosts themselves, can we still judge that the plot is completed and the level is passed reasonably?
The author has something to say:
Xiaohong: Thank you for the invitation, the world is not worth it
