I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 230: The Rolling Lantern (Part )

When the car stopped, He Si finally sorted out her thoughts. She had a rough guess, but there were still many things that needed to be verified.

"Don't be impatient. We have to do it one thing at a time." He Si comforted herself while taking in the surroundings - neon lights flickered around her like stars, men and women in gorgeous clothes were shoulder to shoulder, and misty sounds rose and fell. She saw a street corridor full of lights and colors.

"What is this place?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to a crowded place? At this time, there won't be any place with more people than the bar street." Deng Chensha raised his left eyebrow and looked proud, as if waiting for He Si's praise. But before He Si could say anything, there was a sudden "bang" sound from the rear window. The two of them were not paying attention and were both startled.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Deng Chensha relaxed his expression after seeing who was coming. He rolled down the window and said reluctantly, "What a coincidence."

"Second Young Master Deng, I know it's your car at first glance," the man poked his head through the window and saw He Si, who was bare-faced and had a plain face but dishevelled clothes. He was a little undecided and asked cautiously, "Is this... Second Young Master's female companion today?"

"What do you mean by today or not today?" Deng Chensha's face felt a little hot for a moment, and it felt like a feather was brushing against his heart. He didn't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

"Oh, yes, yes, it turns out she is the second young master's girlfriend."

The man outside the car also reacted and hurried to make amends. It is said that this young master, who changes girlfriends more frequently than he changes clothes, has been particularly interested in a female student recently, and even made the news. It seems that he finally succeeded. They have said before that women always have to be willing to give in and to show their interest, but the time of pulling can't be too long, otherwise it will seem that they don't know how to appreciate it. The man in front of him obviously knows how to measure things properly. He is indeed a decent scholar. Maybe he should try to find a graduate student next time. The man thought, and looked at He Si with a hint of contempt.

He Si was too lazy to pay attention to him and pushed the door to get out of the car, but Xiao Jiu was not happy. He used the wind raised by He Si's closing the door as a cover and gently flapped his wings, and the man outside the car was inexplicably slapped.

"Xiaojiu..." He Si curled her lips helplessly and hooked her finger at her little friend.

The man next to the car was too much of a nuisance, and standing on the street was conspicuous, so He Si took two steps forward, found a bar with a bright door, and walked in. Deng Chensha naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, and didn't even bother to say goodbye perfunctorily, and ran into the store following He Si's back. Before the man next to the car had time to figure out what was going on, the two people completely disappeared from his sight.

Everything happened too fast tonight. He Si wanted to find a quiet place to plan her next step, but the dazzling lights, deafening music, various looks, and even the mixed smells in the turbid air made it impossible for her to think. She didn't fit in this place, but she couldn't think of a better place to go for the time being.

"Miss……"

"together."

The waiter, who noticed something was wrong, had just made an opening statement when a black and gold card was handed to him. He turned around and looked at the man who looked like a young man. Naturally, he recognized this regular customer. He respectfully handed the card back with both hands, said no more, and stepped aside tactfully. "Let's go over there." As soon as the waiter left, Deng Chensha immediately resumed his attentive appearance and served attentively.

But He Si didn't appreciate it. The bar was very noisy, and it was hard to talk face to face, but she didn't have to worry about people eavesdropping. As soon as she sat down in the bright lights and wine, she asked hurriedly, "Why are you in that alley? Are you following me?"

"Misunderstanding, my second uncle..." Deng Chensha immediately shook his head, "Anyway, during our family dinner today, my second uncle secretly answered a phone call, and I happened to overhear some of the content, and found out that they were actually going to arrest you. You saved me last time, so I naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. I finally found the location, and I rushed to save you. I think this trip is very thoughtful."

So that's how it is. The meticulous person is obviously Deng Yizhi. Halfway through the play, he didn't know what the status of the Mirror Corridor would be like, and whether He Si could successfully escape from the darkroom. In order to pave a way out for her, he quietly revealed the news of today's operation to Deng Chensha - a person who would not attract the attention of the mirror at all, thus adding another layer of insurance to the operation.

But when He Si looked at Deng Chensha's smug expression and thought that she really owed him a favor, it was not easy to expose him, so she could only nod and thank him.

"You were implicated by that man, right?" Deng Chensha did not stop there. Instead, he took advantage of He Si's softening attitude and continued, "I don't mean anything else, but... my second uncle is a cautious person. He won't take action unless he is absolutely sure. Moreover, the problems he handles are always complicated. If my second uncle wants to deal with him, then there must be something wrong with him. I don't want you to be involved in danger."

Deng Chensha's earnest words were intermittent amid the noisy music. He Si was not good at acting, so she thought for a moment and said again, "Thank you, do you know where the bathroom is?"

"Then, I'll take you there."

"No need," He Si smiled gently and raised her hand to point at the hidden green sign, "I saw it."

Before Deng Chensha could continue speaking, He Si had already stood up, walked quickly through the crowd, followed the inconspicuous sign through the dark corridor, pushed open the pink door with the sign of "Kingdom of Women" on the right side of the corridor, and then closed the door heavily behind her.

Unlike the expected scene, the pure black tiles reflected the colorful fluorescent lights. Even the bathroom could not avoid light pollution. He Si was a little discouraged. She walked to the washbasin, leaned on the black marble countertop, looked at her tired face in the mirror, and just wanted to take a breath, but found that the reflection in the mirror was not right.

With alarm bells ringing in her head, He Si took two steps back and bumped into the person who pushed the door in. As if he was used to the drunken patrons in the bar, the person was not displeased. He muttered "Excuse me" and walked into the compartment. However, He Si could not keep calm. She calmed herself down and approached the mirror again.

Not only was the lighting wrong, the entire picture in the mirror was wrong. She felt that her face was weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. He Si looked at herself in the mirror and slowly raised her right hand. Now she knew what was wrong - the person in the mirror also raised his right hand.

Equal in size and opposite on left and right, this is a mirror image, but the person in front of her raised the same hand as hers - there was something wrong with the mirror. Naturally, He Si thought of two people - the mirror and the mirror grinder.

No matter who it was, He Si didn't want to and couldn't refuse such an obvious invitation. She stretched out her hand, and the person in the mirror naturally stretched out the same hand. The fingertips of the two people approached at the same speed and happened to touch each other on the mirror surface.
