Something Inside the Mirror

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Bai Zhi's sudden and unusual reaction, Night Owl couldn't help but become a little nervous.

Putting aside the fact that her Skill are on cooldown, the excruciating pain emanating from the wound on her left shoulder is already severely diminishing her combat effectiveness, making it impossible for her to even run away.

If she were to be attacked by Anomaly in her own room right now, she would definitely be the first victim.

"I'm going to tell you something now, but you mustn't be afraid."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi casually tossed the Apple core he had just finished eating into the Trash Can and turned to look at the other person.

"W-what is it?"

The Night Owl looked very nervous.

"Oh, the Apple I just took from the fridge was the last Apple there. I was lying when I said I'd Apple for you."

"???"

"By the way, do you like durian? If you do, I have a few durians here that I can peel for you."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi made a suggestion.

"... I think there's something wrong with you."

His lips twitched slightly, and the Night Owl's voice sounded rather weak.

"The key issue now isn't whether we should have gone sooner..."

Night Owl's words suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to stare blankly in a certain direction. Following his gaze, Bai Zhi also saw what the other person was paying special attention to.

--The [Weather Doll] that was previously hung above the bed by the Zither-Drum Harmony is now spinning wildly.

"You stay here, I'll go in and take a look."

As Bai Zhi casually tucked something under the blanket and stood up from the chair, a Silver White Pistol silently appeared in his hand.

"You probably don't have any lighting equipment, right?"

Looking at the bathroom across from the bed, which had become completely dark at some point, as if she had thought of something, Night Owl quickly used her hands to support herself and barely managed to sit up from the bed. Then she summoned the streetlight again and handed it to him.

"Take this with you."

During this process, perhaps because the wound was touched again, the Night Owl unconsciously gasped.

"... Take a rest."

After staring at the other person for a moment, Bai Zhi reached out and took the street lamp that emitted a faint glow.

The bathroom door wasn't locked, but once opened, it revealed a deep, dark interior where not even a ray of light could penetrate.

With a slight frown, Bai Zhi stepped into the darkness, carrying the street lamp flower. The light emitted by the street lamp flower dispelled the surrounding darkness, but it was only limited to a small area around him and could not be projected to a greater distance.

When Bai Zhi turned around after taking a few steps in the darkness, he found that the bathroom door was no longer clearly visible.

The bathroom wasn't very big, and he should have reached the mirror by now, but there was nothing around him except the unique tiles under his feet.

"... An alternate dimension?"

Narrowing his eyes, Bai Zhi continued walking forward with the book.

After patiently following for a few more minutes, light began to appear around him, and everything around him gradually began to take shape. When Bai Zhi came to his senses, he found himself in a bathroom.

"This doesn't seem to be room [504]..."

Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around.

This is the type of bathroom that is basically equipped in every room of an Apartment. It has a toilet, a shower, and everything else. However, the bathroom door is closed, and the place where the mirror used to be is empty.

After opening the door, Bai Zhi frowned deeply upon seeing the layout of the room outside.

This is definitely not room [504]. Judging from the three posters on the wall, this should be room [501], which is Heavenless Heretic's room.

"..."

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Zhi glanced at the kitchen and the three posters.

The faucet did indeed Explosion and hasn't been fixed yet. It was plugged up with cotton cloth and tape by Heavenless Heretic. The three posters hanging on the wall are indeed as Heavenless Heretic said, except that the man in the third poster has turned into a pile of minced meat. The mirror in the bathroom is broken, and the glass shards have been cleaned up... Everything is exactly as Heavenless Heretic described.

Meanwhile, the room was filled with the smell of air freshener. After all, his room was full of blood and water, and there was that Monster that broke out of the mirror. For Heavenless Heretic, using air freshener to purify the air was a perfectly normal thing.

Everything seemed normal, but the biggest anomaly was that I inexplicably entered the bathroom of Room 501 from the bathroom of room 504.

Bai Zhi took out Night Owl's phone and glanced at it. The location coordinates of the Locator displayed on the phone were in the bathroom, on the wall directly opposite the mirror. But first of all, the mirror was completely broken, and the clothes hooks on the wall were empty. Where was there any Locator?

--Unless the Location Tracker is buried inside the wall.

"..."

After pondering for a moment with his eyes half-closed, without moving anything, Bai Zhi left a Shadow Guard behind, opened the door to room [501], walked out, and then went straight back to his own room.

All the doors in this apartment Apartment have one feature: they automatically close after being opened for a period of time. This is the main reason why they need to carry their Key with them and make sure Key don't lose them.

Bai Zhi went straight to the bathroom in his room, removed the mirror from the bathroom, and took it in his hand. After doing this, he switched places with the Shadow Guard he had left in the bathroom of room [501].

--I must say, this position-switching Skill is quite useful.

After reappearing in the bathroom of room [501], Bai Zhi placed the mirror he was holding in the spot where the broken mirror should have been.

After staring at himself in the mirror for a moment, Bai Zhi stepped aside and then continued to look into the mirror with the book.

--On the wall directly opposite the mirror, which should have been empty, a Tailcoat was hanging there.
