Chapter 50.3 (2/2)

As the four entered the room, the iron gate slowly closed.

The moment the iron gate closed, they immediately heard the gurgling sound of running water. The water was flowing from God knows where, not from a fixed location, but from many different places in the house.

In an instant, the water had already shallowly covered the floor. Listening to the gurgling sound of running water, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian’s hearts pounded wildly. They looked at each other, not saying a word, and immediately turned to search the house under tacit understanding.

As two horror game streamers, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were naturally the best at searching through houses, especially Xiao Tangqiu, who was a fanatic at it. Every time he played a horror game, he would search the house inch by inch. He was meticulous and could often find details that other game streamers couldn’t. Therefore, whenever a new horror game was released, he was often the first to reveal the secret endings.

This time, he also made full use of his meticulousness and began to search the house like a crazy person. But at the same time, he was thinking about what the clown said just now.

“The key is in the most dangerous place.”

Where was the most dangerous place?

Literally?

But no matter how he looked at it, this house was just like an ordinary residential house. How could there be any danger? Was it the kitchen? Because there was a kitchen knife?

Xiao Tangqiu felt that the clown’s hint wasn’t so simple but he still went to search the kitchen. Everything in the kitchen was fixed, even the kitchen knife was fixed to the chopping board so he couldn’t pick it up. He searched the entire kitchen and found nothing.

When he returned to the living room, he saw Tang Mianmian lying on the floor looking under the sofa. After searching there, he looked in the nooks and crannies and finally looked into the vase of fake flowers.

Xiao Tangqiu frowned. “How’s the search coming along? Have you found anything?”

Tang Mianmian shook his head. “Nothing…”

Xiao Tangqiu glanced at the living room out of the corner of his eye. “Come on, let’s go to the bedroom.”

Naturally, Tang Mianmian wouldn’t refuse so he nodded his head.

The bedroom in this house was also decorated like a regular bedroom. There was a bed, bedside tables, a wardrobe, and even a picture of a family of three on the wall. It was just that the three people had blurred out faces and looked a little scary.

Tang Mianmian’s first move was to go through the wardrobe. He found that it could be opened but there was nothing inside.

Xiao Tangqiu also searched the table. The room wasn’t big. It was a one room structure and there wasn’t any rooms within. After he opened the drawer, he found a book.

The cover of this book was blurry but the strangest thing was that it could be picked up.

Xiao Tangqiu picked up the book and immediately something fell out with a clink.

Tang Mianmian immediately turned to see what it was. Then, his eyes lit up. “It’s the key! We’ve found the key!”

It was indeed a key – a silver key that looked ordinary.

Xiao Tangqiu’s intuition told him that things weren’t that simple. He picked up the key and immediately rejected that notion. “No, this key is too small. It looks like a key to open a door or box in the house, not the key to open the iron door.”

Tang Mianmian looked at it carefully and felt disappointed. The key was too small to be used for the keyhole of the iron door. But that made sense as well. How could they find the key so soon? The water in the room had only reached their ankles!

However, he was still rather geared up. “Then this must be the key to a certain room! At least we found a clue! Which room is it?”

The house had a one room structure and the kitchen was an open kitchen, leaving only the bathroom. However, when they found the bathroom, they realized that the bathroom door didn’t require a key.

What exactly did this key open?

They went into the bathroom, not knowing what to do, but paused the moment they entered. There were full body mirrors on the left and right sides of the bathroom, opposite of each other.

This decoration was too strange. Were two people supposed to look in the mirror with their backs against each other?

Xiao Tangqiu walked towards the mirrors and stood in front of them. He paused again.

He saw himself in this mirror… but the mirror behind him that was reflected in the mirror was empty.

In other words, he wasn’t reflected in the mirror behind him.
