"...for the past thirty years, you have been disguising yourself as a normal person."
The witch's verdict was like a stone, stirring up waves on the originally calm lake.
Chu Tianshu was sitting lazily on the bench. When he heard this sentence, he grabbed the bench with both hands and made a "tactical leaning back" posture.
He saw Lin Huai turn his head to look at him amidst the waves, and in return, he raised his eyelids and smiled at him.
—and made a whistle mouth.
Lin Huai raised an eyebrow at him.
He leaned down, put his lips close to the other's ear, and bit his ear with a cool breath: "I really want to hear the witch's evaluation of you."
Chu Tianshu glanced at him and made a gesture of "whatever you want".
The witch who looked at them eye-eyed: ...
"...You have a huge secret on your shoulders, but you don't want to explore, but just want to live in the peaceful daily life you maintain. You get rid of all the 'abnormal' for your so-called 'normal' , you are a coward who fears parting and change, and an ambitious man who guards his own world."
Lin Huai:
A coward and an ambitious man
Facing the witch's verdict, Chu Tianshu still maintained a casual smile. There was no sense of being offended by what was said in his demeanor, nor was there any contempt for what the other party said was wrong.
"—Standing by your side is your treasure and your lover. What you and he have in common are—the same abnormality, the same refusal to compromise with the world, perhaps this is the basis of your baseless trust …”
Lin Huai clicked his tongue and smiled: "It feels like she was very angry with us just now, and even made personal attacks like 'baseless'..."
"The foundation of love between lovers is mutual respect. As Lin Huai's lover, you know his yearning for freedom better than anyone else, but..." the witch's voice suddenly became colder, "During your relationship , You once had a moment when you wanted to lock him up completely against his will."
Lin Huai:
... What, Chu Tianshu thought about locking him up
... But considering that he wanted to kill Chu Tianshu several times, Lin Huai suddenly felt that he didn't feel betrayed at all.
Needless to say, they are a perfect match.
He saw that Chu Tianshu on the bench didn't speak, so he walked towards him and said, "Are you... planning to imprison me for play?"
Chu Tianshu: ...
He shook his head vigorously, but closed his eyes with a strange expression.
Lin Huai: ...
Wait, what kind of scene will he see in the mirror
The witch saw that the atmosphere between the two became more and more strange, and her smile became more sincere.
"Okay," she said easily, "Next, please choose one of these six mirrors."
As he said that, the figure on the mirror moved his fingers, and different scenes reappeared on the original six clear mirrors.
In six different scenes, figures float. The witch has not yet withdrawn from the magic mirror where she is. She looked at Chu Tianshu sitting upright with her eyes closed, and Lin Huai who was standing in front of him with her head lowered as if she was deep in thought. A cold smile appeared again.
Ever since Lin Huai entered the maze, she disliked this "girl" very much.
Unlike other players who are either pretending or real fearless, this "girl" brought her a strong sense of crisis from the moment she appeared.
——This sense of crisis comes from this "girl", a kind of madness that cannot be grasped and bottomless.
The fearlessness of other players is mostly due to their confidence in their own strength, or their dependence on their own props. This dependence or certainty allows them to rely on their years of experience when facing opponents stronger than themselves Make cool calculations to preserve your own striking power.
However, the fearlessness of this "girl" wearing a blood-red cloak is unreasonable. Her fearlessness seems to come from the disorder and madness that penetrates her soul. The witch can't predict her, can't see through her. When she looked at this "girl" through the mirror, she clearly had the upper hand, but she could still see that "girl" looking at her with a smile that was all about playing games.
In addition to this "girl", the beauty in a hunting suit standing next to her also made her very unhappy. Different from the sharp evil spirit on the "girl", the beauty in the hunting suit usually holds her hands and stands crookedly. Eat skewers while eating. However, when she glanced at herself, the sharpness that seemed to have been seen through still shocked the witch.
But now...
The two people opposite the mirror seemed to be in a long silence. The girl in the red cloak even lowered her head, never daring to look back—even once.
— She seemed to dare not look at what appeared in the mirror at all.
The witch couldn't help laughing.
"Come on." The witch in the room covered the mirror with her hand and murmured, "Let me take a look... The lovers who thought they were truly in love, but secretly have the most contrary thoughts... free."
— Can you escape this time
"Why, this time, you dare not go back and choose?" The witch's voice sounded in the room made of mirrors, "Don't you even dare to show the courage to face lies?"
"Actually..." Lin Huai whispered with his back to all the mirrors, "I'm really a little scared..."
The witch showed a wish-fulfilling smile in front of the mirror.
Lin Huai: "I was a little afraid that when I turned around, I would see mosaics all over the wall."
Witch:? ? ! !
... horses, mosaics
"...If the six walls are all mosaics, and only two figures can be seen doing certain activities on it, I really can't tell which mirror is the real mirror." Lin Huai He squinted and said, "But if there is no mosaic, maybe some kind of power from the high dimension will drop down, and only two heads will be left in the mirror, and there will be no parts below the neck."
Witch: ...
... what are you doing! I'm a serious witch!
"This is the country of the Envious Witch." After a long time, Lin Huai heard the weak voice of the Witch, "It's not the Witch of Lust."
Lin Huai: "Tsk, I'm relieved."
...Wait, what's the matter with your "tsk", why do I feel a little disappointed in this "tsk"!
The witch on the other side of the mirror tried hard to restrain her urge to rant. Lin Huai also patted Chu Tianshu's knee at this moment.
He was wearing a red cloak, which made his face paler and sweeter, and said with a sweet smile, "I'm going."
Chu Tianshu closed his eyes and nodded.
Lin Huai: "If you let me see anything bad, I will break your leg when I come back."
Chu Tianshu: ...
Lin Huai stood in front of the six mirrors.
Last time, he was the one whose heart was probed. However, he was upright and had a clear conscience. Seeing Chu Tianshu standing in front of the messy mirrors, he just thought it was funny.
However, when he really stood in front of these mirrors this time, he suddenly realized that it is really difficult to distinguish the mirror surface of real thoughts from these mirrors.
As the saying goes, know people and face but not heart. Even for couples who share the same bed every day, it is difficult to achieve a tacit understanding, not to mention the public execution of the scene that would amplify people's doubts.
Lin Huai was thinking about the topic of "when will Chu Tianshu plan to lock him up", and looked at it one by one.
When seeing the scene in the first mirror, Lin Huai was already "...".
In the first mirror is the scene that just appeared in his own fifth mirror - Lin Huai used the excuse of being busy, and kept putting Chu Tianshu pigeons on purpose, and was proud of it...
Lin Huai: ... Tsk, he can't be so childish.
Thinking of this, he walked to the next side.
On the second side, he was arguing with Chu Tianshu. The scene in the mirror was beyond Lin Huai's expectation—in the mirror, he actually existed in the form of a ghost.
—that is, his face when he was a "crow".
It seemed that what appeared in this mirror was what happened between them in the past.
There were explosions and gunpowder smoke everywhere in the mirror. The chestnut-haired young man was expressionless, dragging another struggling black-haired young man, forcing him to leave here. Regardless of the black-haired young man's struggle and cursing, he threw him into the escape cabin with all his strength and locked the door from the inside.
When he fell, the black-haired youth was directly blinded. He fell to the ground with a pair of long legs folded in disbelief. After knocking on the door and confirming that it was impossible to return, the black-haired youth sat on the ground and looked at the chestnut-haired youth who was manipulating the escape console with a sneer.
Afterwards, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two, and the black-haired young man took out his things without saying a word, smashed open the skylight and ran away. Then…
Lin Huai watched helplessly as Chu Tianshu strangled himself in the mirror, and he took out a gun with his other hand, and blocked his mouth with it.
And he actually laughed under the extreme anger, and began to lick the barrel of the gun very ambiguously.
Lin Huai: ...
Although he already knew that the gun was stuffed with QQ candies, this scene was really exciting.
He glanced back at Chu Tianshu, who was sitting on a chair, looking at the sky, as if expressing with all his heart that he did not want to participate in this public execution.
The third mirror is relatively normal, and the content in it is the time when I lay bloody on the ground in my hand on Mermaid Island. Chu Tianshu squatted beside him at that time, and he sprinkled the blood-enriching potion on him as if he didn't want money.
As for the fourth side...
Lin Huai: ...
The fourth mirror seemed to be the property management office, Chu Tianshu was cooking, and he was crawling around in the form of a cat. The two seemed to have just had a quarrel, and he stretched out his claws or tail to slap Chu Tianshu vigorously from time to time, trying to use his claws to push all kinds of pots and pans to the ground without interruption.
In the fifth mirror is the pseudo Shura field of myself, Chen Shu, Zhou Ming and Cheng Yubao. The four stand in front of the restaurant and argue endlessly, while passersby sneakily take pictures beside them. Chu Tianshu got out of the car and saw this scene. The scene was like a rape scene.
And the sixth mirror...
Lin Huai was puzzled to find that the sixth mirror was actually pure black.
Absolutely pure black.
There is nothing reflected in the sixth mirror, just darkness and no light. Even if Lin Huai stood in front of this mirror, he couldn't see what was inside.
Lin Huai:? ? The mirror is broken
He raised his hand and was about to touch it in, but the next moment, the pure blackness finally lit up.
What appeared in the mirror was the hall in the civilized world. He changed into a purple suit, and was standing in front of the crowd, declaring the death announcement to everyone with extreme madness, arrogance, and halving every time the number of people passed.
Lin Huai: ...
He understood that the blackness just now was the darkest moment when he cut the straitjacket.
... Chu Tianshu turned off the light.
"I feel that the answer is very clear." Lin Huai said.
He clearly felt Chu Tianshu behind him tremble.
"The fourth side." Lin Huai replied concisely.
Chu Tianshu, who was looking up at the sky, couldn't help coughing hard when he heard him say this.
