Midnight Bookstore Chapter 177 – The Game of Hide–and–Seek

So, when you have nothing to do, don't always look in the mirror

This habit is really not good.

Because you don't know,

the person in the mirror, is really your projection, and can only mechanically follow your every move and move together

Or,

he is just treating you as a fool, playing with you, and seeing that you still can't discover his existence, he secretly snickered and snickered.

The person in the mirror only stopped slapping his face after about seven or eight seconds. He stood in the mirror. At first, he wanted to continue pretending to be Xu Qinglang.

But thinking about it..,

looking at Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang's current expressions, he knew that it would be a little boring for him to continue pretending.

Previously, it was him who treated others as a fool and followed a man to apply skincare products together. He thought it was very interesting to slap his face. If he continued to pretend now, he would be treating himself as a fool.

He silently retreated, his figure getting further and further away, and smaller and smaller. He wanted to leave this place.

Zhou ze believed that even when the police academy taught methods of capturing and chasing criminals, they would definitely not teach how to catch them if they hid in the mirror.

But now, he had this problem.

First of all, it was impossible to break the mirror. The people inside probably wanted him to do so, but to hide in the mirror?

Zhou ze stretched out his hand to try, but his own hand was unable to penetrate the mirror. Obviously, this attempt also failed. Of course, Zhou Ze did not have much hope in the first place.

If the mirror could really be easily penetrated by any person, then the number of children who accidentally fell into the mirror and went missing every year would definitely be much greater than the number of children who swam in the river and drowned.

The Cunt in the mirror was getting smaller and smaller. He even turned his head with interest and made a “Slit throat”gesture at Zhou Ze and the others. He was really very arrogant.

“Heavenly Ultimate Wuji, Mystic Heart Technique!”

Xu Qinglang formed a seal with both hands, and a heart-protection mirror was slapped on the surface of the mirror.

It had to be said that old Xu was perfect in both the movement of the seal and the posture of taking out the heart-protection mirror. He looked like a metaphysician. However, after the heart-protection mirror was attached to the mirror, the man in the mirror only tilted his head as if he was still smiling, obviously, Old Xu's method did not work.

“Old Daoist, crotch!”

Zhou ze shouted.

The old Daoist subconsciously reached out to touch his crotch,

then..,

he actually took out another talisman!

One had to know that the old Daoist was not wearing a Daoist robe, but a bathrobe. This also meant that after the old Daoist changed his clothes, he even transferred the talisman over!

“Grand Supreme Lao Jun is as anxious as a command. Western Buddha, listen to my command!”

As he chanted a nonsensical incantation, the old Daoist directly pasted his talisman paper on the mirror.

The talisman paper turned red, and the image in the mirror distorted. The person inside seemed to have let out some painful cries, but he still did not come out. Moreover, it seemed that he had been stimulated by the talisman paper.., this made him, who originally wanted to stay in the same place to show off, start to prepare to run away.

“Is there any more?”Zhou ze urged the old Taoist.

He didn't believe that if there were ten or eight pieces of the mirror, the guy inside would be forced to come out.

The old Taoist reached out his hand and dug again. Then, he opened his hand, and in his palm, there were only a few black curls of black hair,

there was nothing else.

“No, boss, I only brought one today.”

At this time, the person in the mirror was only a small black dot, almost disappearing.

Zhou ze closed his eyes and opened his hands. His fingernails grew out and layers of black mist began to rise from his palm. For Zhou Ze, there was only one method left to try.

In the face of something unreasonable, it seemed like he had to try an unreasonable method.

As the old priest and Xu Qinglang looked at the Fool, Zhou Ze held his hands in front of him and began to make a tug-of-war gesture.

In fact, Zhou Ze himself didn't catch anything, but he was still pulling back as if he was really holding something in his hands, and it was quite strenuous for him to pull it out.

Did he have to be so exaggerated?

Did he have to be so imaginative?

The corners of the old Taoist's mouth twitched. He really wanted to tell the boss that this method was even more unreliable, but the corners of the old Taoist's mouth soon stiffened because he saw that the guy who was originally only a dot in the mirror was actually slowly running back.

Oh My God!

He was really caught by the boss!

The old Taoist suddenly felt that he couldn't understand this world. How could this work?

“Help me!”Zhou ze shouted.

Help You?

Xu Qinglang and the old Taoist were stunned for a moment, and then they joined in, pretending to help Zhou ze pull together. Xu Qinglang felt that he was like the ministers in the Emperor's new costume story, doing very silly things, but the crux of the problem was.., as he and the old priest joined in, the guy in the mirror really retreated faster!

“If you believe in your heart that you can pull him back, then you can pull him back. He is in the mirror, but in fact, he is more in our eyes,”Zhou Ze said a very philosophical sentence.

The role of the mirror was to reflect light, but it only served as a medium. Rather than saying that there was something in the mirror, it was more appropriate to say that there was something in his eyes.

Of course, this involved a lot of philosophical arguments. It would be too troublesome to investigate in detail.

As he pulled and pulled, the person in the mirror slowly became the same size as Xu Qinglang when he first applied the skincare products.

He was about to be pulled out..,

he was about to be pulled out..,

use more strength!

Use more strength!

He was about to be pulled out!

The old priest shouted beside him, shouting his number. Vaguely, he seemed to have returned to the days when he was a porter on the dock. However, when he shouted his number, it was more like the three men were currently serving as midwives.

Finally, a corner of the clothes in the mirror was revealed.

But then..,

with a crisp “Pa”sound, the mirror actually exploded.

Then, a black shadow drilled out from inside. Perhaps Zhou Ze and the others were too immersed in the scene, the three of them actually fell back together, as if the rope suddenly broke during a tug-of-war.

Zhou Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he quickly stood up and reacted to grab the black shadow, he found that he had already lost the initiative.

Zhou Ze's fingernails only hooked onto the other party. After hearing a scream from the Black Shadow, the black shadow shrank again and broke away from Zhou Ze's control.

Then, it went into another glass door in the bathroom.

However, this time, it seemed that he could not completely get in. A part of it was still outside, like a leech. Perhaps it was because of the injury that affected his performance.

Zhou Ze's fingernails swept over, and the glass door immediately shattered. The Black Shadow let out another scream and escaped again. It was like a wild rabbit, very fast.

“Don't let him escape. He can only hide in something that reflects light. You guys go and find him. I'll trap him First!”

Zhou Ze's fingernails pierced into the ground, and the black gas spread out in an instant, completely enveloping the entire small villa. Previously, when he faced the attack of the Anaconda, Zhou Ze had done the same thing, but that time, it was to protect himself, this time, it was a voluntary confinement.

Meanwhile, the old priest and Xu Qinglang rushed out of the bathroom and began to look for something that could reflect light to see if that thing was hidden inside.

The beginning of the matter was unimaginable, but the process of the matter was even more shocking. As for the fact that it had directly turned into a game of hide-and-seek, it was something that no one had expected.

In fact, in the end, it was still because the old priest and Xu Qinglang were both living people. Living people lived in this world and paid attention to the birth, aging, illness, and death. There was science, logic, and rules to speak of, which was also why.., their horizons were sometimes not as rich as Zhou Ze's.

For a person who had been to hell, nothing was unacceptable, and nothing was impossible.

The search process was very troublesome and tedious because there were too many things that could reflect light here. He had to confirm them one by one in case the other party shifted their position, even if Zhou Ze had already locked down the area inside the small villa, but it was not an easy task to find that thing.

The old priest searched around, but he could not find it. He did not have any leads either. He felt that he was going crazy. His mind was filled with glass, and he wished that he could become glass too.

Xu Qinglang searched around but couldn't find anything. They were too embarrassed to ask Zhou Ze if he really stopped that thing. What if that thing wasn't in the villa and had already escaped?

“Oh right, the hot spring!”

The old priest ran to the side of the hot spring. The water in the hot spring pool had already been drained, but there were still several puddles of water. This could reflect light, and it could also be used as a mirror!

The old priest jumped under the hot spring, looking for puddles one by one, but he still could not find it.

The old priest, who was somewhat exhausted, simply sat down under the hot spring.

He could not find it..,

that thing could crawl into the mirror, and God knows where it had run off to. Amitabha, immeasurable heavenly venerate, Merciful Lord, please show yourself and let this poor priest find him.

Zhou Ze, who was in the bathroom, could not hold on any longer. He kept shouting in the bathroom to ask if he had found him.

This made the old Taoist feel even more stressed.

Damn it, if only I could call the police and ask them to help me find him. The old Taoist's thoughts ran wild. Then, he was stunned for a moment and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

The cell phone screen was also a mirror, and it could reflect light!

Moreover, it was always on him, so it was easiest for the lights to go dark!

The old priest immediately pressed the phone screen, and the screen lit up. The old priest's screensaver was a classic picture of Marilyn Monroe blowing up her skirt. But now, there was a black shadow under Marilyn Monroe's skirt on the screen, it was like a layer of mosaic, and it was still squirming.

The old Daoist was so happy that a bubble appeared on the side of his nose,

he looked very excited,

he immediately reached out to grab the “Mosaic”and muttered excitedly,

“Amitabha, this poor Daoist has finally found you, hehehe!”
