Chapter 47.3

Seeing the three people coming towards him, he subconsciously took a step back.

The girl didn’t seem to notice Xiao Tangqiu’s vigilance at all and asked with teary eyes, “Shall we go back to get Da Yong together?”

Xiao Tangqiu said calmly, “I won’t go. If you want to, you guys can go without me.”

“Why?” The girl approached Xiao Tangqiu, step by step, questioning Xiao Tangqiu with red-rimmed eyes, “Isn’t Da Yong our companion? How can we leave Da Yong alone?”

Xiao Tangqiu took another step back, “Da Yong is your companion, not mine.”

“Aren’t we companions?” The girl let out a cry and suddenly descended upon Xiao Tangqiu.

Although Xiao Tangqiu had stepped back warily, the girl’s ability to jump far was surprisingly good. That’s not right, he should say that it was far beyond the ability of a normal person. She jumped in front of him in an instant and threw him to the ground.

Xiao Tangqiu felt dizzy for a while being thrown to the floor by the girl. Before he could respond to being thrown down by a girl for the first time in his life, he looked up and almost peed his pants from fright. The girl’s face was horrifyingly ferocious. A long scar ran across her whole face, the wound was long and deep, with flesh falling apart and visible bones.

However, the most terrifying thing wasn’t the wound on her face, but the cut on her neck. It was so deep it almost decapitated her. This made her head a little wobbly, as if it would fall off her neck at any moment.

Xiao Tangqiu could even imagine the scene at the time – the killer with the axe first hacked at the girl’s most precious face, then at her beautiful neck with its axe. He gritted his teeth and pushed hard at the person who was pressing down on him. However, the “girl” was so strong that he could hardly move.

“Stay… be our companion…” The girl looked at Xiao Tangqiu with her slanted head, which made it look even more wobbly. The visual effect was really scary.

Xiao Tangqiu gnashed his teeth and suddenly took out his crossbow. Using the crossbow, he hit the girl on her head. The girl’s already wobbly head finally flew off. She subconsciously reached for her falling head.

Right now!

Xiao Tangqiu took the opportunity to push the girl away, got up and turned to run.

Xiao Tangqiu ran in the dark. He didn’t know how long he ran before he finally stopped, panting heavily. He rested his hands on his knees as he looked around. Where was this?

When he saw the scene in front of him, his blood froze instantly – skull, plastic eyeballs, blunt red axe, broken mirror… He was actually back here again!

Did this place go round and round, back to the same spot? Was there no exit?

If that was the case, would they never get out of here?

Xiao Tangqiu was covered in cold sweat. Suddenly, there was a burst of messy footsteps not far away. Obviously, someone was walking over here again. He immediately raised his guard and looked nervously in the direction of the sounds.

A few seconds later, three vague figures gradually appeared. They got closer and closer to Xiao Tangqiu, and would soon reach him.

Three?

Xiao Tangqiu was instantly alert. Was it the three of them again?

But when they ran to him, he was immediately surprised to find that the three people were Tang Mianmian, the boy, and… him?!

When seeing the third person that looked exactly like himself, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt uneasy all over. At the same time, Tang Mianmian and the others had also caught sight of him and immediately blurted, “Fuck!”

Two Xiao Tangqius!

“Fuck! How can there be two Qiuqius!” Tang Mianmian was shocked. “Who’s the real one and who’s the fake!”

Xiao Tangqiu hastily yelled, “Of course it’s me! I’m the real one!”

The other “Xiao Tangqiu” also cried, “I’m the real one!”

“Tang Mianmian! I’m the real Xiao Tangqiu!” Xiao Tangqiu tried hard to defend himself, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask me anything about myself!”

The other “Xiao Tangqiu” wasn’t afraid either. “Tang Mianmian! Quickly ask!”

Just then, the boy suddenly interjected, “Wait! We weren’t separated from your friend just now. The three of us have always been together. This guy who suddenly ran out and claimed to be your friend is too suspicious!”

On the other side, Tang Mianmian expressed hesitation as well. Xiao Tangqiu suddenly thought of something and subconsciously took a step back. Earlier, when he and Tang Mianmian were separated, at that time that “Tang Mianmian” was also very suspicious. How could he be sure this Tang Mianmian was the real Tang Mianmian?

“You see he’s guilty! He isn’t your friend at all!” The boy cried triumphantly, “Quickly run! Don’t let him trick us!”

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly and looked at the “Tang Mianmian” standing near to him. He wasn’t familiar with the boy so he couldn’t tell if he was a fake or not. But if it were Tang Mianmian, how could he make sure that this Tang Mianmian was the real Tang Mianmian?

Just as he was hesitating, there came another sound of footsteps behind him. He looked back in surprise. It was Tang Mianmian and the boy.

The two men were panting heavily as they ran. After seeing Xiao Tangqiu, “Tang Mianmian” who was in front immediately shouted, “Run! Both of them are fake! They’re all ghosts! Once you go with them, you’ll become a ghost!”

Xiao Tangqiu was immediately shocked. There were six people at the scene! Two “Tang Mianmians”, two newbies, and two of him!

Soon, the other Tang Mianmian, who had arrived later and the newbie stood next to Xiao Tangqiu forming a confrontation with the three opposite figures.

Just then, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly discovered that their stance on this side was exactly the same as that on the other side. The person standing in front of him was “Xiao Tangqiu” on opposite side. They completely looked like a mirror image of each other!

…… Wait, mirror?

He instantly remembered the broken mirror in the corner. It was in that mirror that he saw some strange reflections.

That’s right! The mirror!

At this time, “Tang Mianmian” on the opposite side got mad. “You’re ghosts!”

“Tang Mianmian,” who was next to Xiao Tangqiu didn’t give in either, “Clearly you’re the ghosts!”

While the two “Tang Mianmians” confronted each other, Xiao Tangqiu glanced quietly at the corner. Very quickly, he found the broken mirror and saw what he wanted to see in the mirror… Sure enough, the mirror reflected the real scene.

After seeing the reflection in the mirror, Xiao Tangqiu was shocked at once. He was the only one in the mirror!

No boy! No Tang Mianmian! He was the only one!

Xiao Tangqiu’s hair stood on end in an instant, while the two “Tang Mianmians” continued to confront each other. He turned around and ran away without a second thought.

As soon as he ran, the two “Tang Mianmians” suddenly shouted at the same time, “Xiao Tangqiu! Wait for me!”

Naturally, Xiao Tangqiu didn’t dare to continue listening to them. He turned and dashed off but behind him came two “Tang Mianmians” who chased after him, crying out, “I’m your best friend Tang Mianmian ah! You can’t leave your best friend behind!”

Never mind that the two “Tang Mianmians” sounded bitter, but their seemed to follow Xiao Tangqiu everywhere. No matter how fast Xiao Tangqiu ran, the two voices followed him closely and seemed to be getting closer and closer-

“I’m your best friend…”

“You can’t leave your best friend behind!”

“Are you leaving me behind?”

The two voices got closer and closer, and finally, it was as if they were in his left and right ear. He instantly felt two cold breaths blowing into his ear, making him shiver uncontrollably.

“Stay…”

Xiao Tangqiu was in a trance for a moment, but soon woke up. “No!”

If this was before when he didn’t have much attachment to living, maybe he would choose to stay, but now…

He suddenly took out two exorcism talismans, turned around and threw them out, one sticking to each “person.”

Perhaps it was because of his latent potential that broke out in the time of crisis, he managed to hit the “bullseye” in one go. When the two “Tang Mianmians” touched the exorcism talismans, a burst of shrieks broke out immediately and then they slowly melted away.

Watching “Tang Mianmian” melt in front of his eyes, Xiao Tangqiu’s mood was very complicated, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the “Tang Mianmians” that had melted into two pools of black liquid slowly condensed together again!

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth. Although he and Tang Mianmian prepared for a supernatural instance and had purchased some talismans and props for exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, the advanced talismans and props were too expensive. Their combined points weren’t enough, so in the end, they gritted their teeth and bought five low-level exorcism talismans. The low-level exorcism talismans could temporarily block low-level ghosts but the effective period was short. The time limit for blocking the weakest ghosts was about one minute. The stronger the ghost, the shorter the blocking period for low-level exorcism talismans, while some powerful ghosts were basically immune to them.

Generally speaking, low-level exorcism talismans were very weak.

However, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian could only afford low-level exorcism talismans, because they were only divided into low-level and high-level exorcism talismans. There weren’t any middle-level ones. The low-level ones required 2,000 points and the high-level ones required 20,000 points. If they bought the high-level ones, they wouldn’t have any points to buy other props. At the time, they weren’t sure if their next instance was a supernatural one.

Xiao Tangqiu felt his heart bleed from using up 4,000 points just like that. Even if they successfully completed the instance, they would only get 500 points. Of course, if he didn’t use this 4,000 points, then he couldn’t even expect to live and get his 500 points.

The most painful thing was that this 4,000 points were really fucking useless! It could only give him one minute to run for his life!

Seeing that the two melted “Tang Mianmian” were about to merge into a human form, Xiao Tangqiu quickly turned around and ran, trying to escape within this minute!

Xiao Tangqiu started to run in the dark again. He wasn’t sure how long he ran before he looked up and found that he was back in the original spot. Suddenly, a wave of despair welled up in his heart!

How did he get back here again?!
