Chapter 535 [Domain 2] The Woman on the Beauty Bed
While pondering, Luo Weicheng immediately pushed open the door and headed towards the beauty salon he had previously visited.
But the moment his foot stepped into the corridor, his ears twitched slightly, and he immediately looked towards the beauty salon's door!
Snap—Snap.
Someone came in through the door.
The footsteps were different from any he had heard before.
The sound was dragging, the sound of heavy leather shoes.
It's a man.
Luo Weicheng stared into the dark corridor, knowing that the voice was still from the mirror world and had reached here.
A nauseating scent of cologne, mixed with the pungent smell of roasted tobacco, gradually drew closer.
It's Zhang Wei.
Luo Weicheng stood quietly in the middle of the corridor. He couldn't see the other person, and the other person couldn't see him either, but he knew that Zhang Wei had passed through him and was walking step by step toward the office at the very end.
That office where deformed babies were kept, and an incense burner sat on the desk...
incense burner.
By the way, just like the paper figures and the red bowl, could this incense burner be the "source of the curse" mentioned in the group?
So what wish did Zhang Wei make to this incense burner?
In a way, Luo Weicheng had a feeling that this wish might be related to what was happening in the mirror world.
Is it cause or effect?
Or is it... more complicated?
Thinking of the terrifying appearance of those nurses and the head swap with Zhang Wei in the hotel, Luo Weicheng had a thought: what exactly did they experience before they died?
Pushing open the door, the beauty room where I had been was completely silent.
Luo Weicheng was stunned for a moment; this was different from what he had guessed!
He had originally expected that he would still be able to smell her scent, hear Wu Hui's voice, and communicate with her.
But now there's nothing left.
There was only one dimly lit room.
He could no longer even hear the humming of the headless nurse from the beginning.
why?
Luo Weicheng felt a little uneasy and walked quickly to the dressing table, but when he looked in the mirror, his heart sank!
Gone!
I can no longer see the world in the mirror!
The room was reflected in the mirror, and all the furnishings were exactly the same as in reality! It was as if he had been lucky enough to open a door that allowed him to travel between two worlds, but that door was now completely closed.
why?
Luo Weicheng stared intently at the mirror, his mind briefly in turmoil. A sudden impulse surged within him: to go to the office and find the ghost baby to verify it—
But that's it.
His gaze suddenly froze.
His face in the mirror was pale and grave; behind him were the same few massage beds and cabinets...
But wait.
Isn't the mirror reflecting reality now?
Why...why is the blanket on the beauty bed behind him slightly raised?
It is the outline of a human figure.
Someone was lying under the blanket on the beauty bed.
At the same time, he suddenly heard a short sob behind him:
"Uh!"
It looked like someone was being choked.
The sound flashed by, seemingly just Luo Weicheng's imagination, but it sent chills down his spine!
Quiet.
There was a few seconds of silence.
Luo Weicheng slowly turned around, and just as he was about to see the beauty bed behind him in reality...
“Ah ...
A high-frequency wheezing sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire beauty salon!
It's like the sound of a windshield wiper scraping against dry glass, making it hard to breathe and sending chills down your spine!
Amidst this extremely uncomfortable howling sound, Luo Weicheng turned his body completely towards the beauty bed.
He saw the silhouette of a woman trembling violently under the thin blanket, her body convulsing uncontrollably.
In a flash, he realized that the woman had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia.
Her throat was swollen, which is why she could make that hoarse, strained sound.
It shouldn't be Wu Hui.
Luo Weicheng had only one thought left in his mind.
But he also knew that if this wasn't Wu Hui, then there was only one possibility—
Just then, the sound stopped.
The woman on the beauty bed became completely still.
Luo Weicheng slowly walked forward and lifted the blanket...
He saw a deathly pale face, purple lips, and eyes tightly closed, as if the person was asleep.
It's not Wu Hui.
He yanked the blanket off, completely revealing the woman's body and her slightly protruding belly—
A flash of lightning struck Luo Weicheng's mind, and he realized something!
She is pregnant!
In that instant, he suddenly realized a potential way out, which might be able to rescue Wu Hui!
Luo Weicheng immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the office, but the first thing he saw was neither the door nor the dressing table.
It's a face.
The woman opened her eyes.
Her eyes, with their whites swollen and bloodshot, were staring at him silently.
........
Wu Hui's breathing became uncontrollably rapid.
She sat on the hospital bed, listening to the headless nurse humming a tune happily.
"La...la la..."
"...I've thought about it, and I've decided not to do it." Wu Hui forced a smile as she watched the nurse insert the syringe into the bottle of anesthetic.
The dark brown liquid gradually filled the syringe.
She seriously doubted whether there was really an anesthetic inside.
"Why?" The nurse chuckled softly, her voice sounding sweetly insincere. "You've already paid the deposit; you can become beautiful, isn't that good?"
"No, I'm not feeling well enough to do the project today."
Wu Hui gave a dry laugh, one foot already on the ground.
The nurse gave her a cold glance and said nothing.
It seems that ordinary excuses won't work...
Wu Hui's throat moved slightly as she glanced out the window; the sky was already turning blue.
She noticed that time seemed to flow in the same way here as in the real world.
It's about 5:00 now, almost 6:00. Soon, it will be completely bright.
Is it related to time?
"I need to use the restroom," Wu Hui said. "I'm a little nervous."
The nurse ignored her, her expression clearly showing impatience.
Wu Hui noticed that her operating speed was much faster than before, which made her wonder if it really was related to time!
After all, the beauty salon was already closed, and she couldn't escape. Given her urgent need for the procedure, this was the only possible explanation.
Do these people have to start "operating" before a specific time?
But when exactly?
It's very likely that it will be dawn... about an hour? About the same time as Liu Zi and Bai Shaohua's situation!
Having confirmed this, Wu Hui's hand twitched slightly, and something slipped silently from her sleeve to the ground.
She carefully kicked the thing under the bed.
A familiar, illusory, and ethereal feeling resurfaced within her. She felt light and airy, as if she were a spirit rather than a real being.
This is one of Wu Hui's magical artifacts; it can create clones and switch places. Of course, it cannot be used if she is actually anesthetized.
But right now, she's not trying to switch places; she's trying to stall for time as much as possible!
Without any further hesitation, taking advantage of the lightness in her body, Wu Hui suddenly got up and ran outside!
