Chapter 397 Image in the Mirror

The wax figure disguised as Tao Xueshan melted, and Tao Xueqing's legs suddenly lost the strength to support her body.

A pair of hands held her up.

"Xue Ji."

Tao Xueqing slightly curved her eyes and smiled tiredly.

"We are alone."

"Well," Tao Xueji replied softly, "This is a reality we have long accepted."

Tao Xueqing calmed down, returned Juque to her brother, and asked him where he had just gone.

"After entering the exhibition hall, I couldn't find other companions, and there was fog all around..."

The scene described by Tao Xueji was very similar to what Tao Xueqing had experienced herself.

"Then, I met my elder brother," he pursed his lips, as if he had not yet come out of the shock at that time, "He said that he had been trapped in this copy and never thought that he would meet me again."

Tao Xueji reenacted the scene when they met again, but Tao Xueqing knew that since he could appear in front of her, it meant that... he had personally dealt with the fake Tao Xueshan.

"I know that's not my elder brother. What's gone is gone."

It takes great courage to abandon fantasy and face reality.

The brother and sister are actually braver than others think.

They supported each other and prepared to leave the exhibition hall.

The white fog dissipated to both sides, with a long and narrow road in the middle.

At the end of the road, a bronze door suddenly appeared.

It was like a huge mouth of the abyss, waiting for innocent prey to enter.

Tao Xueji and Tao Xueqing walked through the thick fog and stood in front of the door. The brother and sister looked at each other and saw a hint of hidden uneasiness in each other's eyes.

The first exhibition hall...should be considered over.

There are three more exhibition halls.

Where did the disappeared companions go?

Have they encountered any danger? Have they met the deceased like me?

"Let's go, Xueqing."

No matter what dangers lie ahead, they must move forward.

Tao Xueqing nodded and walked side by side with her brother.

Passing through the wide door, looking up, the copper door frame was like a hanging guillotine.

After leaving the fog exhibition hall, the temperature around them suddenly rose.

This is an empty room with only marble floors and a ceiling with exquisite and complex ceilings.

There are no wallpapers on the four walls, but mirrors instead.

"Is this the second exhibition hall..."

Tao Xueqing clenched her weapon and looked at the mirrors cautiously.

"It doesn't look like it..." Tao Xueji frowned, "There is no explanation prompt in the headset."

Tao Xueqing heard him talk about the explanation device, and then she remembered that she took off the ear hook because she was worried that she could not hear the footsteps and voices of her companions after the fog was concentrated.

Now she put it on again, and sure enough, there was only the rustling sound of electricity inside.

The light was broken. Tao Xueji tried to switch it on and off, but it didn't work.

The white beam of the bracelet swept across the huge space, and the figures of the brother and sister were reflected in the mirror.

"I didn't see the exit," Tao Xueqing looked around, turned around, and reached out to pull the door they entered through, "It's locked."

She looked at the cold mirrors.

"Is the exit hidden behind these huge mirrors?"

"Look for it."

As they guessed, some mirrors can be opened, but there are walls behind them.

Until Tao Xueji opened the one in front of him.

Squeaky——

The mirror made a different sound from before, as if opening a door.

Behind the door was a long passage. It was too dark to see clearly, and only vaguely saw that it was a corridor.

I don't know if it leads to other exhibition halls.

Tao Xueji waved his hand and asked his sister to come over.

"I'll go over there and take a look, Xueqing, you wait here for me."

"Okay, be careful."

Tao Xueqing helped him hold the mirror to prevent it from closing suddenly.

Tao Xueji raised his legs and crossed over, but suddenly, he pulled his legs back.

"Xueqing, close it!"

Tao Xueqing reacted quickly enough, and she reacted when her brother retreated.

At this time, someone outside the mirror shouted -

"Ouch, don't close the door, it's me!"

The two siblings showed surprised expressions.

"Brother Xun, why is it you?"

...

"Tourist friend, you are now in the mirror exhibition hall. I believe you have discovered that there is no mirror in the mirror exhibition hall, but there are many symmetrical wax figures. Others are my mirror. We live in the eyes of others, and we also find ourselves from others..."

The electronic female voice generated by AI explained the design of the exhibition hall in the headphones.

"The things here are indeed symmetrical in pairs..."

Gao Zihuan bent down slightly and supported his knees with his arms.

In front of him was a pure white wax mask with a unique shape. The eyebrows and eyes on the left half of the face were firm, and it could be seen that it belonged to a man. The right half was soft and charming, and it was a female face.

He stared at it for a while and stood up. After the perspective changed, he suddenly found that there was a missing piece in the upper left corner of the mask.

The gap was smooth, which should be intentional.

Opposite this mask, there is another symmetrical white mask with a gap in the upper right corner.

It seems that they are really two symmetrical objects inside and outside the mirror.

In addition to the mask, there are knight armor, long swords, princess dresses, jewelry... and so on.

The floor of the exhibition hall is covered with red carpet, and the heavy curtains around it are like curtains.

This is an unlit stage.

Gao Zihuan came to the front of the tall armor, and the metal surface was cold because of the high helmet.

The inside of the helmet was empty, a small ball of darkness.

Gao Zihuan suddenly had an idea, raised his heels slightly, and looked inside the helmet.

In the darkness, something suddenly pushed up!

"Fuck——"

Gao Zihuan let out a civilized shout, exactly the same as his good captain Cheng Jie.

When he saw clearly what it was, his eyebrows raised, and he held the helmet with both hands and shook it left and right.

"You scared me!"

Brother Gao Ziyao laughed because the prank was successful. If it weren't for the support of the armor outside, he would have laughed so hard that his face would have turned over.

The laughter echoed throughout the exhibition hall, seeming to dispel a little bit of the gloomy atmosphere.

Gao Zihuan calmed his suddenly beating heart, thinking while doing this, no wonder he didn't see Ziyao for a long time just now.

Gao Ziyao was still looking for a topic next to him.

"You said these props...will they suddenly move?"

"...You are still asking this, didn't you practice it just now?"

Gao Zihuan pouted.

Gao Ziyao thought of what happened before and couldn't help laughing twice.

"Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to make a joke."

They walked around the exhibition hall, trying to find some clues.

"Before coming in, Zheng Xun seemed to say that the human wax figures here should be paid special attention."

Gao Zihuan walked to the princess dress, and the purple skirt was lifted up, as if someone was running away wearing it.

"It looks like... there are only wax figures of some objects here, no people?"

He asked Gao Ziyao.

At this time, Gao Ziyao was admiring the ancient sword.

"Don't listen to Zheng Xun, he is a mess himself, and he is still directing others."

Gao Zihuan, who was picking up the wax necklace, heard his words, "Oh", and put the necklace back as if nothing had happened.

His right arm was hanging down, and a cold light suddenly appeared from the cuffs.
