Chapter 312 Don’t Look at Your Face or the Mirror

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you were going to do a home visit today. Look, I haven’t cleaned up yet. My house is a mess.” The middle-aged woman said politely, no different from other parents that Teacher Liu had met, except that she stood with her back to her, which gave her a very strange feeling.

“Xiaoguo’s mother? Are you feeling unwell?” Teacher Liu looked at the middle-aged woman’s back. Her messy black hair covered her shoulders. The woman was obviously at home, but she was dressed up in a set of expensive but ill-fitting clothes.

“It’s really not convenient for me now. Did Xiaoguo cause you trouble? This dead child, I will take care of her tonight.” The middle-aged woman stepped back and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing the other party approaching, Teacher Liu felt her breath choked, but she still protected Xiaoguo by her side as soon as possible: “It has nothing to do with the child. I think there is something wrong with your education method. Beating and scaring the child blindly will affect the child’s normal growth...”

Halfway through, Teacher Liu closed her mouth because the middle-aged woman had already retreated in front of her, and her thick black hair was only one foot away from her.

The living room was dead silent. Teacher Liu felt very depressed and took a step back unconsciously.

The middle-aged woman didn't look at the road. She walked backwards but didn't touch anything in the house, as if she had eyes on the back of her head.

"Xiaoguo's mother, since you are not feeling well, I will come back another day." Teacher Liu felt that the middle-aged woman had mental problems and was about to walk out holding Xiaoguo's hand.

But as soon as she turned around, she found a man standing outside the living room door with his back to her. It seemed to be Xiaoguo's father.

"When did he come?"

Without noticing the other party approaching, Teacher Liu felt a little fear inexplicably. She held Xiaoguo's hand and cold sweat broke out on her palm.

"Teacher Liu, since you are here, why don't we have a meal together." The middle-aged man's voice was very gentle, and the other party seemed to be a very good-tempered person: "I brought you delicious food."

Backing into the house, the man closed the door. The moment the door closed, the temperature in the house began to drop continuously, and the whole room seemed to be isolated from reality.

"Xiaoguo is very similar to me when I was a child, very naughty, sorry to bother you." The man moved back while talking. He looked like a normal person in every aspect, but when he got close, Teacher Liu felt her scalp tingling, and every cell in her body was resisting.

"Xiaoguo, come here!" The middle-aged woman shouted loudly, and Xiaoguo shivered in fear. She reluctantly let go of Teacher Liu's hand.

"Can you two still be considered parents like this!" Teacher Liu took her cell phone out of her pocket and dialed the emergency number very decisively: "The police will be here soon! I want to take this child away!"

"Did you get through?" The middle-aged man laughed from inside his body. He put the food on the table, and he and his wife squeezed Teacher Liu in the middle: "Teacher Liu, I know you are a conscientious person. The students in the class like you very much, and so do we. It just so happens that you are here for a home visit today. Let us cook a few dishes for you, right?"

Liu Jiaru just wanted to leave quickly now, and she didn't dare to stay for dinner, but this abnormal couple didn't give her a chance at all.

She was scared to death, but she still tried to calm herself down: "Then you go cook, we will talk while we eat."

Teacher Liu wanted to wait for Xiaoguo's parents to enter the kitchen. As long as they stopped blocking the way, she would immediately take Xiaoguo out of the living room door.

"Thank you for coming to my house for dinner. My husband and I are usually very busy. I just happen to have many things to talk to you about. I really appreciate you choosing my house..." Xiaoguo's father's words were a bit strange. He kept thanking them, as if Teacher Liu had promised them something too much.

The couple did not enter the kitchen. Something was swimming under their skin. The joints of their bodies turned stiffly and unnaturally. The middle-aged woman grabbed Teacher Liu's arm backwards.

"What are you doing!" Teacher Liu was like a stressed cat.

"Take you to dinner." The couple forcibly pulled Teacher Liu into the bedroom and let her sit in front of the makeup mirror.

Before Teacher Liu could react, she saw herself in the makeup mirror.

Her eyes widened, and an indescribable fear made her forget to breathe. The person in the mirror was sitting upright, wearing the same clothes and having the same hairstyle as her, but that person had no face!

There was nothing on the fleshy face, but if you look closely, there seemed to be some faint outlines on the flesh.

"The one in the mirror is not me!"

"Teacher Liu, thank you for coming, so there is one more person in my family, one more person!" The middle-aged man placed the food in the plastic bag on the dressing table, and the thing in the mirror gradually began to look like Teacher Liu.

"What are you doing?!" Teacher Liu wanted to look away, but her head was pressed down by the hands of the middle-aged couple. She felt herself getting closer and closer to the mirror, and her facial features slowly grew on the fleshy face in the mirror.

"Help! Help!"

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and a thin figure appeared at the door.

"Don't look in the mirror!" The sharp and tender voice came into Teacher Liu's ears, and then she heard a crisp "pop".

Xiao Guo, panting, smashed the kitchen knife on the mirror. The large knife, which was usually used to cut vegetables and meat, was tainted with a hint of anger and murderous intent, and several cracks appeared on the smooth mirror surface.

Teacher Liu in the mirror became distorted, and Xiaoguo's parents paused.

Teacher Liu seized the opportunity of this moment, broke free, took Xiaoguo's hand and ran to the door.

She pressed the door handle and opened two doors in succession. Xiaoguo's father and mother had already caught up with her.

"Teacher, go by yourself."

Xiaoguo shook off Teacher Liu's hand and hugged his mother's legs. He also looked up and saw his mother's face.

When he saw his mother's face, Xiaoguo's facial features seemed to become a little blurred.

Now Teacher Liu realized why Xiaoguo always lowered his head. This terrifying discovery made Teacher Liu even more scared. She didn't care about anything and ran downstairs in one breath.

It was dark outside, and she didn't know what time it was. It seemed that she had stayed at Xiaoguo's house for a long time.

Relying on her memory when she came, she ran to the exit of the community, but the place where the iron gate of the compound should have been turned into a wall.

The hurried footsteps sounded behind her. Teacher Liu ran desperately, but she couldn't outrun the other party at all. After a few seconds, her shoulder was pressed by a hand.

"I just want to ask for directions, you don't have to do that." The man's words were mixed with panting. Not long after he caught up with Teacher Liu, several other people also rushed over. They were dressed very differently, and the only thing in common was that they all received the tasks released by the Dead Water Forum on their mobile phones.
