Chapter 129: The Mansions of the Night (I)

Night, dull night, the light of the candles in the room flickered slightly, it was a very quiet night, if there was anything extraordinary, it would probably be the girl sitting at the table under the window.

Xu Lu looked through the window, looking at the clear and beautiful silver light in the sky with dull eyes.

If it had been before, she would have cheered with joy, but tonight she was not in the mood at all. Not only was he not interested, but he was also slightly resentful.

What exactly is there to be happy about the stars in the sky, and why are they always twinkling and twinkling, and it is annoying to watch!

Her heart was in turmoil.

The girl's eyes just now seemed to see through her own heart, even the slightest secret in the depths of her mind seemed to be seen by her, but what made Xu Lu restless and in a trance was not this, but a sentence, which should have been deliberately said to her by the girl.

"I'm your fiancée...... I'm Arco's fiancée...... I'm ......."

That sentence still reverberates in his mind until now, making Xu Lu feel painful.

Just now, when this sentence was poured into her ears violently, and then the nerve waves generated by the resonance of the eardrum entered her brain, and the brain had not yet begun to analyze the meaning of this sentence, her heart suddenly felt as if it had been torn apart.

Her face was almost distorted in pain, and she wanted to scream and smash everything around her, but she couldn't, she had to laugh, she had to laugh! She also had to put a big smile on her face that didn't care, and she also had to bless the boy who broke her heart.

Then, she couldn't wait to run away, because she was afraid that she would faint and cry.

A drop of warm liquid flowed out of the eye socket without warning, it swept across Xu Lu's beautiful and fair face, leaving a moist line of water, Xu Lu slowly touched it with her hand, and her heart seemed to be pinched by something, and it hurt even more.

Then, more and more tears burst out of his eyes, and he could not stop them.

How many years have you not cried?

She has always been an extremely strong girl, and even when her mother died, she only held her hand tightly, which was becoming cold, and forcibly kept the tears in her eyes, so that she could not let it flow or let it flow......

Because she knew that at that moment she had become her father's spiritual support, and if she cried too, then her father would probably collapse due to overwork and sadness.

Now I am crying for a boy, crying so much that I don't know what to do.

"Don't cry! Don't cry! ”

Xu Lu wiped the tears from her face and turned around and walked to the big mirror beside the bed.

This mirror, which is an unknown old mirror, is framed with sturdy wood and painted reddish-brown, while the smooth surface of the mirror is spotless and looks like it is often used.

When cleaning this long-uninhabited room this afternoon, Xu Lu found a strange phenomenon, all the furniture and furnishings in the room were full of dust, but this mirror was clean and clean, as if it had been carefully wiped.

But if you look closely, the dust on the floor is probably a few centimeters thick, but you can't find any footprints, obviously no one has been in for many years.

"If Xiaoya's curious guy knew, I'm afraid he would have yelled that there was a problem!" Xu Lu muttered softly, as soon as her attention was diverted, she suddenly felt a lot better, and her heart hurt not so badly.

The dim candlelight behind him quietly emitted a withered yellow light, Xu Lu looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly felt a little confused.

In the dim light, his appearance became extremely charming, and the faint pupils at the corners of his eyes even eclipsed the stars in the sky.

Is this really yourself? Is she so beautiful?

Xu Lu gently stroked her face, looked at her in the mirror and slowly raised her hand with a slight hesitation, and gently stroked her white and beautiful face that seemed to have no trace of smoke and dust, so she jumped lightly a few times, swaying her body from side to side, looking at the mirror stupidly, looking at the beauty in the mirror that could not be described in words, and following her movements.

I don't know how long it took, but she didn't feel bored at all.

Later, she found a few tiny brown marks in the upper left corner of the mirror, I wonder if it was accidentally left by the previous painting, although it will never be found if you don't pay attention, but it is still like a thorn, destroying the perfection of the mirror.

Xu Lu stretched out her hand to pick out the markings, but at the moment when her fingers touched the brown markings, a cold suddenly crept up her back, Xu Lu trembled, and her heart beat quickly in fear.

The whole room became blood-red at some point, and the blood-red light continued to squirm as if it were alive, enveloping everything in the room.

The candle still burns quietly, but the candle is windless in the air, and every time it shakes, it secretes a hint of red light.

Xu Lu wanted to scream, but found that she couldn't make any sound from her open mouth.

The red light seemed to be substantial, constantly wrapping around her body. It was as if she had fallen into a liquid of great resistance, and it took a lot of effort to take every step.

After a while, Xu Lu finally came to the table, she reached out and swept the candle to the ground with all her might, only to see the candle fly out, the flame was extinguished, and it fell to the ground and bounced a few times before rolling under the bed, but the blood-red light still did not disappear.

She suddenly felt an invisible hand grab her neck and slam her head back.

In the mirror, she saw herself again!

She was covering her neck hard, her body twisting uncoordinatedly, Xu Lu's eyes widened, and she struggled in pain.

Suddenly, she realizes that her face is missing from the mirror! There was a blank space under the hair, nothing left, like a blank sheet of paper. And under that blank sheet of paper, there is the neck and the body writhing wildly.

"Where's my face? Why can't I see? ”

She couldn't care about the hands that were almost suffocating her neck anymore, she just tried to touch her face, but as soon as the hand was raised, a blinding light suddenly shone in the mirror.

Xu Lu's eyes were full of blood-colored red, and after a period of confusion in his brain, he didn't know anything.

On the afternoon after Xu Lu disappeared, I stuffed a lot of useful and useless things into my backpack, and then walked out of the room, and was stunned as soon as I entered the courtyard.

I saw Shen Xue carrying a bulging travel bag waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

"Why are you here?" I asked knowingly.

She raised her head and replied expressionlessly: "When you arrive at our Shen family, you are a guest of our Shen family, and I have the obligation to help you collect the body." ”
