Chapter 834: I’ve Arrived

“After gaining the school’s approval, you will also gain the qualification to become the door pusher, but I know that you just want to leave and won’t do something so irrational.” Now that only Chang Gu and Chen Ge were left in the reading room, Chang Gu stopped talking in riddles and warned Chen Ge directly.

His eyes staring at the mirror silently, Chen Ge said without turning around, “Chang Gu, what kind of person do you think I am?”

After what happened in Li Wan City, Chen Ge knew that he had lost a part of his memory, so like Zhang Ju and the rest, he would sometimes get trapped in a sense of loss.

“The mirror behind the door reflects your real self, and you will see a different version of yourself.” Chang Gu was not interested in Chen Ge’s life story; he was merely completing the mission given to him by Chang Wenyu.

“Is that so?” Chen Ge placed his palm on the mirror, and the chill travelled to his brain. He could not help but be reminded of his first nightmare mission when he had just acquired the black phone. The mission had required him to stand before a mirror at midnight and look at his own reflection.

A mirror was the start of everything, and now I’ve found myself standing before one again. I wonder, what will I see this time?

Closing his eyes, just like when he did his first nightmare mission, Chen Ge started to count his heartbeat. Several seconds later, Chen Ge’s palm was pulled, and his eyes flew open. His reflection stood dumbly next to the bookshelf. Loneliness and despair were clear on his pale face, and his body was shaking. His eyes were not focused, and they were empty. The reflection was like a mannequin in his haunted house.

This is the other me?

Someone gripped his fingers, and Chen Ge could feel the power coming from the other side of the mirror. He saw the shadow of his reflection changing. Black hair flowed down Chen Ge’s reflection like a river. His shadow slowly stood up and guarded him from behind.

Zhang Ya?

The shadow’s face slowly clarified. When he placed all of his focus on the shadow, the black hair in the mirror suddenly lashed toward his arm and pulled him into the mirror. Chen Ge disappeared, and the reading room returned to silence.

“Something doesn’t seem right.” Chang Gu did not leave immediately. His expression was one of surprise. “When he stood before the mirror, why did his reflection appear so unrealistic?”

Rushing to stand before the mirror, Chang Gu looked at his own reflection. The Chang Gu in the mirror was not a person but an ugly monster.

“The other side of the mirror is the blood red world. This mirror can show the ugliness inside everyone’s heart, but when that man stood before the mirror, the mirror showed the man himself! Doesn’t he possess any sins inside his heart, or is his evil hidden so deep within his heart that it can’t be reflected by the mirror at all?”

Chang Gu could not figure out the answer. He looked at his ugly reflection with confusion. His fingers reached toward the mirror and stopped before it.

“Everyone has a monster in their heart, an ugly, ruthless creature that cannot bear living under the sun…”
