Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

The ruined mirror version of Anaki City, Hurricane Building, 44th floor.

The girl with long pink hair, long clothes, long pants and lace-up high-heeled leather boots pushed open the security door and walked into the security staircase that runs through the building, with a smug smile on her face.

She looked at the spacious but ordinary staircase, as if she was appreciating some peerless beauty, with pure joy and emotion on her face.

After a long time, the girl took a deep breath, took a step excitedly, and walked towards the stairs leading to the lower floor.

With the girl's slightly strange and unskilled steps, the hard heels of the high-heeled leather boots knocked irregular "da", "da", "da" sounds on the floor tiles.

Soon, the high-heeled leather boots stepped smoothly on the first step leading to the lower floor, and then the second step...

"Squeak--"

"Dong--" "Dong--"...

On the staircase platform between the 44th and 43rd floors, the girl with a bloody face struggled to prop up her upper body. She was stunned for a while, and then, bean-sized tears filled her eyes unconsciously, falling like pearls from a broken string.

...

On the 44th floor, where the only exit suddenly disappeared, Night Crow looked at the multi-angle images shared by the main body and couldn't help complaining:

"This ghost story is too bad, right?! It can't even walk steadily..."

"The Evil Spirit in the Mirror", the ghost story sealed on the 44th floor of the real Hurricane Building, randomly appears in all mirrors in the world, dragging the person looking in the mirror into the illusory mirror space, and then transforming itself into the appearance of a victim to enter the world, and acting recklessly in the identity of the other party.

"The real danger of the 'Mirror Spirit' is that it will drag people into the mirror space... After it materializes, it will become quite harmless because it cannot simulate the corresponding extraordinary." Lenari said directly in Night Crow's consciousness, "If the 'Mirror Spirit' is not really short-lived after it materializes, it would not be such a 'waste' to seal it."

"That's right, a black room without a mirror is enough." Night Crow nodded, and then changed the subject, "By the way, 'we' are obviously one person. In the case of information sharing, do we have to talk like this?"

"...You started it first, right?"

"I was just complaining...Besides, am I not you?"

"...'You' are right."

"The two" stopped talking, only occasionally complaining to themselves.

Soon, both Lenari and Night Crow lost interest in the "Mirror Spirit".

——It was so stupid that it rolled down almost every half-floor of stairs...

If its entity could not be infinitely restored before its "lifespan" reached its upper limit, Night Crow suspected that it would fall to death in the stairs, and then Night Crow would be automatically ejected from the mirror space because it lost its corresponding "mirror image"...

Confirming that it could not get out for a while, Night Crow took out several messenger bags full of cloth and sewing tools, and began to sew new clothes according to the anime character design.

——Earlier, Night Crow asked Chloe to help test the side effects of "depression" and "exhaustion" of bare face, and no matter which one, it was very uncomfortable...

...

The "mirror world survival game" held by the strange story "Chaos City" has a one-to-one ratio with the time flow rate of the outside world.

When the "mirror evil spirit" relied on its mimic body that could not be killed no matter what, it survived until there was only one opponent left, and the scene was expected to be deadlocked.

Time passed day by day, and seeing that there were only a few hours left before the scheduled departure date of the federal and national scientific expedition teams, Night Crow finally couldn't sit still.

"It's not a good idea to go on like this. I'll miss the expedition team..." The clothes/accessories added for today have been completed. Night Crow walked back and forth on the rough cement floor of the rough house in annoyance.

"Your worries are unnecessary." The main body sent a thought, "I can go there myself."

"...Will the 'God Hidden Mist' be stressed?" Night Crow pulled the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay as long as it's hidden well enough." The main body said, "I've tested it. If my shackles are fully activated, it can deceive most ghost stories."

"Oh... then why don't you just replace me?" Night Crow thought.

"The journey to the inside of the 'God Hidden Mist' is not safe. Anyway, I will definitely cry for help at that time... It's better for me to get to the destination directly and then replace you."

"...Is there any difference?"

"...It seems not? So it's the same whether I go there myself or you go?"

"..."
