Through the window's window, I saw that Cheng Yuee had already opened the box. Just as she opened the box, a white substance sprayed out from the box and onto Cheng Yuee's thigh, but she completely ignored it, and placed the box on the sewing machine instead.

Immediately after, Cheng Yuee took out a piece of cloth from the box. In her right hand, she held a piece of cloth and dipped it into the box.

God!

She … What in the world was she trying to do, to put makeup on her face in the middle of the night?

After a while, I saw that Cheng Yuee's dried yellow face had already been covered by the powder. She smiled strangely at herself in the mirror, as though she was enchanted.

She closed the cosmetic box and took out a cylindrical object from the drawer of the sewing machine. If I'm not mistaken, it was a lipstick, and it was red.

Just as I expected, I saw that Cheng Yuee had twisted open the cover of the lipstick, and then, as she looked carefully at the mirror, she smeared the lipstick on her lips non-stop. Her movements were very slow, very mechanical, as though she was a mindless zombie.

I saw Cheng Yuee's figure being imprinted onto the wall in the room. Perhaps it's because of a dark illusion, but I kept on having the feeling that the movements of the shadow I saw was slower than Cheng Yuee's own movements by a little. The shadow on the wall seemed to be learning from Cheng Yuee.

Maybe it was because he was nervous? I let out a long sigh of relief as my gaze temporarily moved away from Cheng Yuee's body. I secretly looked at the structure of the house and discovered that the house was actually very simple and crude.

On the floor in the room was a large, painted mahogany cabinet. On the wall above the cabinet hung a large black and white photo, the person in the photo looked very young, probably a portrait of Cheng Yuee's husband. The eyes on the portrait met mine now, and I thought I saw his eyes blink at me.

I felt goosebumps all over my body and quickly looked away. I looked to the west and saw a door, and my eyes followed the frame all the way up. In the dim candlelight, I finally saw the strange bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror looked very ordinary. There was nothing special about it. The dim candlelight shone on the surface of the bronze mirror, making it seem somewhat strange. Due to the fact that the symbols around the copper mirror were too far away, I was unable to see them clearly. It was just that when I looked at the symbols, I seemed to see them slowly start to rotate.

The rotation speed was not very fast, it was about the same as when he looked at the three-dimensional painting at Liu Yuling's house. Gradually, I felt that my vision began to turn black, and I didn't know when the bronze mirror in front of me seemed to have grown larger.

It continuously rotated and gradually turned into a big mouth with fangs. The big mouth slowly opened as it got closer to me. I wanted to run away, but my body felt like it had been drained of all its energy and was powerless.

The gigantic mouth has already swallowed me into its mouth. I can even smell the rancid smell coming from the mouth. Those sharp fangs are gradually closing up. Looks like I will be chewed into pieces in the next second, right?

There was a heart-wrenching pain in the top of my head, and I even heard the sound of a skull being pierced. The pain made my whole body start twitching, and I let out a heart-wrenching scream.

But... The instant I opened my mouth, I suddenly felt a white light radiate from my eyes. Following that, a large hand suddenly covered my mouth.

I suddenly opened my eyes, and discovered that Liao Mengfann was currently covering my mouth. She looked at me in confusion, extended her index finger, and shushed her lips.

”What are you doing?” Liao Mengfann asked me in a low voice: ”Just now you were like a ghost, what happened?”

”Huh?” I reached out my hand to gently remove Liao Mengfann's hand from my mouth, and said apologetically: ”Just now when I looked at that mirror, I had an illusion! You have to be careful! Don't look! ”

I shook my heavy head and peered inside. Cheng Yuee had already finished applying her makeup. She stood up from the stool, walked to the center of the room and spun around in front of the mirror.

She seemed to be dancing, but she didn't know how to dance, so she didn't look good. Her face was painted very white and her lips were smeared very red. At this point in time, Cheng Yuee looked like an ugly female ghost.

”What is she doing?” The Brother Huang quietly asked the two of us.

”Keep watching!” Liao Mengfann said: ”I feel like she's dancing for her dead husband!”

”It can't be?” Brother Huang and I said the same thing, but at that moment, Cheng Yuee's crying voice suddenly came from inside the house.

Wu wu wu … Wu wu wu …

Why are you gone! You died unjustly! Come back quickly, look at me …

”She died in injustice?” That caught my attention. Had his husband died of injustice? I saw that Cheng Yuee had climbed onto the shelf and took down her husband's portrait. Then she took the image to the sewing machine and held the candle in one hand.

Cheng Yuee carried the portrait in one hand and the candle in the other as she walked to the side of the brick bed. After placing the portrait on the kang, she picked up the candle upside down. Drops of red wax dripped onto the edge of the kang, and when the wax was almost done, Cheng Yuee turned the candle over and stuck it onto the wax.
