Chapter 51.1

This scene was very nerve wracking. Although Xiao Tangqiu had seen many horrible things throughout his “battles,” the strange mirror sent shivers up his spine. He immediately turned around and looked at the mirror.

Even if he was facing the mirror, the mirror still didn’t reflect him. And not only him, but Tang Mianmian wasn’t in it as well!

It was fucking haunted! This mirror didn’t reflect anyone at all!

Tang Mianmian also got a fright but soon he found something wrong. “Wait a minute, this mirror... it doesn’t seem to be a mirror! This is a fucking picture!”

Xiao Tangqiu studied it carefully and sure enough, it wasn’t a mirror at all, but a picture of the opposite wall. But because the picture was extremely lifelike and real, one subconsciously thought that it was a mirror at first glance.

“Fuck, this picture is too lifelike! I really thought that it was a mirror just now!” Tang Mianmian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “This is just an escape game, not a haunted house. Why is it so scary?”

However, Xiao Tangqiu didn’t think that the matter was so simple. Was this picture only used to scare them? He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then he suddenly found something else. “Wait a minute, I think I can remove this picture.”

Tang Mianmian trusted Xiao Tangqiu’s words almost unconditionally. After hearing what he said, he immediately went to remove it. Xiao Tangqiu quickly put out his hand to stop him. “Wait, we still don’t know if this picture is dangerous...”

He had just finished speaking when Tang Mianmian removed the painting.

They waited quietly for a while, but nothing happened.

A moment later, Xiao Tangqiu felt his heart calm down. He silently looked at the wall behind the painting, only to find a keyhole in it.

It was very strange that there was a keyhole in the wall. Obviously, there wasn’t a door behind it or a box or even a safe. The keyhole seemed completely out of place with nothing behind it.

But Tang Mianmian cried in surprise. “There’s a keyhole here! We just found the key and found a keyhole! Go, go, go! Qiuqiu, put the key in!”

Was it that simple? Things had gone a little too smoothly, right?

Xiao Tangqiu had doubts but he still put the key he had just found into the keyhole in the wall... But, nothing happened.

They waited in silence for a while, but still, nothing happened.

Tang Mianmia laughed dryly, “In theory, something should happen now, which makes this rather awkward.”

Xiao Tangqiu, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. With their luck, it wouldn’t be normal if things went so smoothly. This situation actually made him feel that it was normal... He was relieved!

Just then, Tang Mianmian suddenly said in shock, “Wait a minute! Where’s the key? Why is the key missing?!”

Xiao Tangqiu looked up. Sure enough, the key that had just been properly inserted in the keyhole had disappeared God knows when.

What was going on? They obviously stayed in front of it from beginning to end without leaving, how could the key have disappeared under their noses? Something strange must be going on!

“Is that so? I didn’t pay attention...” Tang Mianmian wasn’t as careful as Xiao Tangqiu. He looked around and scratched his head.”Looks like you’re right. What’s going on?”

Xiao Tangqiu cried out, “Not only that... look at the mirror on the opposite wall.”

Tang Mianmian looked up and found that the mirror on the opposite wall had suddenly turned into a picture!

A picture that looked exactly like the one he had just removed!

He was about to be shocked silly. What was going on here?

“Everything is reversed, or should I say, the opposite...” Xiao Tangqiu murmured, “This looks like the mirror world...”

Tang Mianmian suddenly had an unexpected thought. “Did we enter the mirror?”

Xiao Tangqiu frowned and shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Tang Mianmian said cheerfully. “If we went into the mirror, we can leave as long as we break it!”

“I don’t think it’s that simple... and where’s the mirror?”

Where’s the mirror?

Tang Mianmian turned around and looked at the wall. In theory, the mirror on that wall turned had turned into a picture, so the wall that originally had the picture should have a mirror.

However, the wall was empty.

Where was the mirror? Was it missing?

“Fuck, we’re stuck!”

Tang Mianmian cried out in frustration.

Xiao Tangqiu smiled helplessly. From the start, he felt that it couldn’t be so simple. Now, Tang Mianmian’s series of hitting the wall were just a verification of his conjecture.

However, he also knew that the immediate problem had to be solved as soon as possible. They also had to find the key to the iron door outside. Now, the water had already passed their calves, so they had to act as soon as possible.

Xiao Tangqiu reached out to open the bathroom door. As expected, the door was locked.

“Fucking hell! My hands shouldn’t have been so hasty! I shouldn’t have entered this bathroom! No, I shouldn’t have entered this instance in the first place! No, I shouldn’t have played that horrible game in the first place!” Tang Mianmian muttered, slamming his shoulder into the bathroom door. But no matter how hard he tried, the bathroom door, which looked very fragile, wouldn’t budge.

“Don’t waste your energy. Let’s look for the bathroom key.” Xiao Tangqiu quickly pulled Tang Mianmian away.

Tang Mianmian had let off some steam. He asked Xiao Tangqiu with a gloomy face, “But we’ve looked through this bathroom. There wasn’t anything in it. How can there be a key?”

Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “Just because there wasn’t one earlier doesn’t mean there isn’t one now.

“What do you mean?” Tang Mianmian paused and quickly reacted to what he was implying, “You’re saying...”

“Yes,” Xiao Tangqiu smiled and nodded. “This bathroom isn’t the same one before.”

Tang Mianmian decisively agreed. “Okay! We’ll look for it!”

The two of them quickly searched the bathroom but this time, they still found nothing of value, while the water was almost over their knees.

Tang Mianmian became more and more impatient. “Is there anywhere else we haven’t looked?”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly had an epiphany. “The water tank of the toilet!”

Tang Mianmian’s eyes suddenly brightened. “That’s right! We haven’t looked there yet! “

They rushed to the front of the toilet bowl. Tang Mianmian opened the lid of the water tank. However, there was nothing inside except for some dirty water with dirt sediment. He even reached in and fished around, not believing that he wouldn’t find anything, but in the end, still found nothing.

“How can this be? This is impossible!” Tang Mianmian was so anxious that he even opened the toilet lid and looked inside. The result was nothing as well.

The water had almost covered the sides of the toilet. Just as he was about to give up, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly said, “Wait a minute, this is a bit strange.”

Tang Mianmian was slow to respond, “What?”

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. “Since this is an escape room game, then the toilet should be fake, but there’s water in the water tank and... it seems to be a real toilet.”

Tang Mianmian pursed his lips, “So what? There’s nothing in it!”

Xiao Tangqiu said lightly. “But there’s no point in putting a real toilet here, so I think this toilet must have some meaning.

Tang Mianmian paused, “But there’s really nothing in it ah...”

Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “How do you use the toilet?”

Tang Mianmian subconsciously said. “Poop, then flush... Flush... Wait a minute!”

Xiao Tangqiu nodded and pressed the button on the lid of the water tank. Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing water in the tank.

A stream of dirty black water gushed out, and at the same time, something floated out with it.

It was a severed hand.

Xiao Tangqiu’s reaction was better, and could be considered calm, but Tang Mianmian was so scared that he shouted, “Fuck! A hand! A severed hand!”

Xiao Tangqiu said faintly, “It’s just a severed hand. Haven’t you seen that before?”

Tang Mianmian thought what he said was right. He had seen it several times before. What was there to be afraid of? So he suppressed his fear and tried to ask Xiao Tangqiu calmly, “Is it a fake hand?”

Xiao Tangqiu frowned and found that the matter wasn’t so simple. “It looks like a real hand...”

Tang Mianmian gasped, but he was no longer afraid. “Fuck!” It really is a hand!”

Xiao Tangqiu looked down. The severed hand should be real. Because it was very lifelike, the lines exposed under the surface of the water surface from time to time was very clear and the texture of the skin was also very natural. An artificial hand wouldn’t be as lifelike.

“Wait a minute, there seems to be something in the palm of the broken hand...”

The broken hand was tightly clenched and the hand seemed to be holding something. Before Xiao Tangqiu could carefully study it, Tang Mianmian who was impatient, stretched out his hand and reached for it.

Tang Mianmian grabbed the severed hand and pried open the fingers. As he did that, he apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, you’re dead but we’re still so disrespectful towards you. We have no choice now that our lives are at stake. You, who are in the spirit world, please don’t blame us or look for us...”

Tang Mianmian had a hard time prying open the fingers. A silvery object suddenly rolled out and fell into the water. Xiao Tangqiu grabbed it quickly.
