Bai Youwei tossed her towel aside, rushing away from the bathroom in her wheelchair.

Shen MO was no longer outside the door.

He had jumped down directly! At the moment, he was on the first floor, having just pulled Tan Xiao out of the Koi pond in the hotel lobby!

The hotel lobby had a pond on one side, home to dozens of koi fish. Tan Xiao, bored, had been idly trying to catch the fish when he accidentally fell in and couldn’t get out!

The depth of the pond was just up to his calves!

“This place is haunted by water ghosts!” Tan Xiao cried out in fright, soaking wet. “A water ghost pulled me into the water! Let’s get out of here!”

“It’s not a water ghost!” The teacher next to him saw it clearly, his face pale as he exclaimed, “It’s a doll, the doll came out from your reflection!”

Shen Mo’s face paled at these words. He turned his head to look upstairs, only to see a shadowy figure looming behind Bai Youwei!

Upon closer inspection, it was a mannequin doll! It reached out its hands, all stiffness like a corpse creeping up on Bai Youwei!

“Bai Youwei!” Shen MO roared, “Jump down!”

Even before Shen MO had started showing alarming signs, Bai Youwei already sensed something was off. But hell! How was she supposed to jump?! She was paralyzed for God’s sake?!

Bai Youwei didn’t look back. She pushed with her hands, shifting her weight forcefully!

And from the second floor, her entire body toppled over

The clattering sound next to her ear was her wheelchair toppled over, falling with her.

She quickly closed her eyes as she descended, her heart pounding with fear. She couldn’t tell whether she would get hurt from the fall first or get hit by the falling wheelchair.

A large hand wraps around her waist. She had a hard fall due to inertia, then that hand steadily lifted her, swaying her in the air for half a circle— She felt dizzy, opening her eyes to see Shen MO holding her with one hand while gripping onto a ladder rung with the other.

In his arms, she looked at him, from this angle, his profile was handsome, resolute, with a cold stare. His thin lips pursed into a line, revealing an authoritative aura hidden within his seriousness and restraint.

With a dazed backdrop, this scene unfolding before her was truly breathtaking.

Bang!

A loud noise.

Bai Youwei snapped back to reality.

She twisted her head to see her wheelchair had hit the ground, lying sideways with its wheels spinning unhurriedly and reflecting the cold metallic light from the axle.

The mannequin doll upstairs had vanished without a trace.

“Let’s go out,” The teacher suggested, his voice trembling with fear as he righted the wheelchair, looking around him. Everywhere seemed unsafe.

Shen Mo’s voice was calm, “Be mindful of reflective surfaces when going out.”

Reflective surfaces included mirrors, glass, water surfaces, and any other objects that could reflect images.

For a moment, everyone felt danger even from the tile under their feet!

They hurriedly rushed out of the hotel.

In the labyrinthine corridor, Shen MO put Bai Youwei on the wheelchair and checked her up and down. Although her hair was messy and scattered, the fact that she was sitting there unharmed was a great fortune.

“If the doll in the mirror is the game’s difficulty created for us, then wouldn’t the exit be in the vicinity where the mirrors are most concentrated?” Shen MO thought out loud.

Bai Youwei shook her head gently, “The mirrors are concentrated in the middle of the maze, it’s too easy if the exit and the starting point coincide, that would be cheating.”

After a pause, she continued: “I think the doppelganger in the mirror should be a clue or a hint.”

She turned to Tan Xiao and asked, “Did you notice anything different about your reflection as you were trying to catch the fish?”

Tan Xiao hesitated, “I didn’t pay attention…”

“Did your doppelganger seem unusual?” Shen MO asked Bai Youwei.

“I’m not sure.” Bai Youwei pondered, “… well, if you guys have a chance, you should carefully observe your reflections in the mirror. Of course, for safety’s sake, someone should be by your side.”

As they all looked at each other, finally, they all nodded in agreement..
