Chapter 10: If you don't die, you won't die(1/2)
Just fooling the time, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and the busy metropolis was still brightly lit.
"I still have to try it. I have to know more about the truth!"
Fang Yuhao got up from the bed, came to the mirror in high spirits, and raised a bright red earth candle.
"Click!"
The candle burned quietly, and because of the incomplete combustion, a stream of black smoke visible to the naked eye also generated.
Candles and matches were left by the former tenant. They were placed at the top of the wardrobe and covered with dust. It was probably during the Chinese New Year to worship the God of Wealth. There are also several "door god" paper-cuts underneath. This kind of worship ceremony is very common in the south.
Anyway, these things can be used as props for the "spirit-recruiting ceremony" and ready-made.
Although he would not die without committing a death, under the dual effects of strong curiosity and desire to explore, Fang Yuhao still wanted to try it.
He wants to know more secrets of the whole world.
Is there really a supernatural phenomenon in this world, or is it all that you scare yourself?
"I must know this. It's better than encountering danger in the future!" He plucked himself up.
Even if you pay a little risk... you can go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha tomorrow!
According to some of the content I just searched, it is said that at twelve o'clock in the night, light a candle in front of the mirror, and then peel an apple in front of the mirror. If, in the end, after peeling an apple, the peel will continue, something can be summoned...
It can answer everything you want to know.
On the contrary, if the apple peel is broken, something unfair will happen.
Although he knew that this legend was probably fabricated by a netizen based on a ghost movie, Fang Yuhao decided to try it.
"But it's the end of April, and I don't have an apple or a knife to peel the fruit."
"There is one fruit, only one mango... I don't know if it's OK."
According to Fang Yuhao's understanding, a mango should be OK, why do you have to use apples?
Apples are native to Europe, Central Asia and Xinjiang, China. In ancient China, civilians did not eat apples at all. According to Fang Yuhao's understanding, this kind of Chinese or Japanese legend is that it is not produced in the country, but it is simply a bug.
"So, using mango instead of apples and using mouth to chew instead of knife cutting, probably... it's OK."
Anyway, the focus of this ceremony is to have candles and mirrors at twelve o'clock in the evening, and then not chew off the mango peel.
With this thought, he turned off the light with a click, closed the blinds again.
The entire toilet suddenly became dim, leaving only a candle. The flickering flames were beating, and the shadows of everything were pulled long and shaking randomly with the flames.
Fang Yuhao walked to the mirror, stared at the mirror, and gnawed the mango.
The images in the mirror also made the same moves under the illumination of flames.
This work was very exhausting. After chewing for a while, Fang Yuhao felt that he must be crazy!
"I'm actually doing such a stupid thing!"
But he was a little guilty.
Facing the endless unknown, people always feel instinctive uneasiness.
"I'm afraid of being a fucked, I have a system!" He kept encouraging himself, although he knew that this system was definitely a type that would never be saved.
In the quiet room, he carefully gnawed the mango and tried to make the mango peels into a long line without breaking them. This process required a lot of attention. At the same time, he had to stare at himself in the mirror.
There was silence, only the "thump" heartbeat.
A few pieces of door god's paper-cuts are nearby. Under the candlelight, they not only do not bring a sense of security, but instead appear a little gloomy.
Plop, plop, I don’t know if it was a heartbeat or a sound coming from somewhere. He felt a burst of goose bumps all over his body.
Many times, people feel scared because of psychological suggestion that they are scared. What if they are completely unaware of it and just light a candle and eat in front of the mirror?
The people in the mirror are doing exactly the same movements and are completely synchronized.
Fang Yuhao felt that the hairs all over his body were standing up little by little, and his back was wet little by little. In the silence, any sound would be quickly amplified. He vaguely heard the car passing by, and it seemed that someone was talking, the ground seemed to be trembling, and he even felt... as if there were eyes staring at him.
After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Mango peel is much harder to get than apple peel. I don't know if it works. Isn't it true? Isn't it true that something really happening, right?"
"Maybe the person who discovered this method was just frightened by his own shock. It is not easy to peel a series of skins." Fang Yuhao said in his heart.
Suddenly, a "wow" sound!
Even though he was so brave that he was so scared that he was suffocated. He was very quick at this moment and quickly picked up the door god's paper-cutting and blocked it in front of his chest. Even if this thing looked ferocious, he was finally a "god"!
Damn, it's a wild cat outside!
When he distinguished the sound, he was shocked to find that the mango peel had been bitten off by himself.
"Oh shit!"
Fang Yuhao's face was not very good, and every cell in his body began to be alert, like a bull about to launch an attack.
The atmosphere is very depressing.
"Come on, come out!"
He forced himself to resist the desire to turn on the light. If the light flashed a few times and suddenly stopped, the things would be even more wonderful.
After a while, nothing changed in the room, as if everything was just being self-indulgent.
He dared not relax.
To be on the safe side, I waited for another ten minutes, and the mirror did not crack, nor did the wind howl, and nothing came out.
"Okay, okay... I really have a problem. Go and believe in this kind of pediatrics." Fang Yuhao smiled bitterly in his heart, holding the mango that had been chewed in his hand, stuffing it into his mouth, and turning on the toilet light.
"Crack", the light lit up, and the light dispelled the darkness. Nothing happened, except that the candle was still burning quietly.
"There are still not so many divine things in the world..."
"That's great!" A big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
After eating the mango, he threw the fruit core into the trash can, and he washed his face in front of the sink.
For some reason, he still felt a little weird, so he stared at himself in the mirror and looked at him in detail.
A wonderful feeling burst into his mind, making him more and more surprised.
He stared at himself in the mirror... Because of the tension in his heart, his pupils slowly shrank to a little.
"This is!" Fang Yuhao was shocked!
The wild cat outside was still howling, whistling after whistling, as if it was to the tip of his heart, making him tremble.
This feeling is very familiar.
There seemed to be a wonderful answer in my mind. It was like a layer of paper. As long as the paper was pierced, the answer could suddenly jump out!
Isn’t this… “spiritual communication”?!
Fang Yuhao was stunned. He was able to use the ability of "spiritual communication" on the "self" in the mirror!
The person in the mirror has come alive?!
Suddenly, he seemed to see himself in the mirror, showing a smile-like expression, and his face gradually became gloomy and terrifying.
Fang Yuhao was shocked and his body shook suddenly.
Fear began to devour his sanity like a wild beast.
"Scared you!" He was also very nervous, and he was shocked. He gritted his teeth suddenly, swung his fist and smashed it towards the mirror!
No, if the mirror is broken, it will not only cut his hand, but also pay the landlord! He quickly retracted his fist, took a big step back, and gasped heavily.
The people in the mirror also took a big step back.
The feeling of "spiritual communication" disappeared again, as if it was a wonderful illusion.
"Damn it, there are no real ghosts, right?" I thought so in my heart, but my body was very honest. Even if I moved for a little while, it seemed like I would have to spend all my energy.
After waiting for a while, no terrifying accident happened. Instead, he consumed a lot of energy because he was too focused. His entire underwear was soaked in a short period of time.
A gust of cold wind blew over the back of my neck, making a chilly sound.
Fang Yuhao elbowed him with a sudden elbow, and nothing was hit.
He gritted his teeth and looked around, calmed down a little, and looked at the mirror again.
Then, the familiar and communicable feeling came back.
Fang Yuhao looked away again.
That feeling disappeared again...
He seemed to have some realization and stared at the mirror again, and that feeling appeared again.
"No, it's not a ghost."
He suddenly had a wonderful thought: "I seem to be able to communicate spiritually with the images in the mirror?"
"Really? Can I enter...my own spiritual world?"
He thought for a while and felt that this was a very likely situation. In order to rule out that the mirror in the toilet was messing around, he walked out of the toilet, turned on his phone, and pointed out the front camera.
To be continued...
