“I-Iris, can you talk with me a bit, I’m scared…”
NightLily nervously held PaperIris’s hand, her eyes darting around. Their discussion just now concluded that the boys would be responsible for the second floor, while the girls would search the first floor: SagoMilkTea and PearlMilkTea are in charge of the living room and dining room, RoseBlood and Hyacinth are searching the kitchen, and they were exploring the bedroom beside the stairs.
PaperIris’s expression wasn’t much better than NightLily’s, but she still put on a brave front, “What are you afraid of? I’m here…… Huh? Lily, look over there, there’s a dressing table!”
The half closed bedroom door was pushed open by PaperIris. The two peered in and saw the dressing table on the other side of the bed. More importantly, the dressing table was inlaid with a mirror.
“lucky~” PaperIris took the lead and entered the bedroom, circling around the king-sized bed and rushing towards the dressing table.
“Iris, wait for me…”
NightLily stumbled along behind PaperIris, but halted as she was circling around the bed. Her eyes were drawn to the picture hanging opposite the big bed. It was a wedding photo. The bride in white silk was nestled in the arms of the groom, the two were a perfect match. Perhaps due to the lack of light, the couple’s faces were both shrouded by a layer of deathly shadow.
NightLily averted her eyes timidly. She looked around the luxurious room larger than a typical bedroom and moved closer to PaperIris, whispering, “This should probably be the master bedroom.”
“Uh huh.” PaperIris responded indifferently as she tried to move the dresser, “Lily, come lend a hand.”
“1、2、3, push——！”
“Dammit!” PaperIris angrily kicked the unyielding dressing table, “If I could use my ‘9 of Spades: Royal Fists’, forget this small dressing table, even lifting the whole house wouldn’t be a problem!”
Sigh, without their scenario cards, they were just ordinary people without the strength to tussle a single chicken.
“This dressing table is nailed to the wall. We need a big mirror that can be placed in the middle of a room.” NightLily sat on the chair of the dressing table, as she recovered her MP. “The others might be able to find a more suitable mirror, let’s look for the other props first. Since this is the master bedroom, there should be no lack of clues.”

NightLily’s hand paused. The last drawer was uncharacteristically empty. There was only a single box in the large space.
NightLily lifted it out. It was a jewellery box carved out of white jade. Only about the size of a palm, the patterns engraved on it were intricate and flawless. NightLily would have thought it a work of art if she hadn’t felt the gap of the lock with her fingertips.
NightLily used her nails to pick along the seams of the jewelry box as she tried to open it. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t work.
Sure enough, they needed to find the key. I wonder what kind of key was needed…
The girl picked up the jewellery box and moved closer to peek through the keyhole, but unexpectedly smelled a faint fragrance.
It was a familiar fragrance, but she couldn’t quite place the scent…
“LILY, LILY——there’s actually a cloakroom in here…heh heh heh, look what I found——“
The startling call from behind nearly made NightLily drop the jewellery box. She looked back to see PaperIris pulling out a 2-meter-tall dressing mirror from the cloakroom.
“G-great.” NightLily stuttered as she said.
“I’ll go grab someone else to come help here~” PaperIris ran out, her face beaming with pride.
NightLily let out a breath. She carefully placed the jade jewellery box back on the dresser. The moment she got up, she had a flash of clarity——she suddenly recalled the scent!
NightLily’s heart was pounding with excitement. She sat back down in front of the dressing table, opened the upper right drawer, and picked out a magnolia shaped hairpin among the headwear.
Magnolia, magnolia…yes, this was definitely the smell of magnolia!
NightLily held her breath and approached the lock of the jewellery box with the hairpin.
Clack.
For a moment, magnolia buds seemed to blossom on the white jade as it made a clear sound of unlocking. NightLily’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. The light from the corner of her eyes glimpsed a figure behind her through the mirror. It should be PaperIris who had brought the others over.
NightLily looked up excitedly, “Hurry, come look at——“
Her expression froze. Through the mirror, NightLily saw that there was one more person three meters behind her.
That figure…was not PaperIris, nor was it RoseBlood, and neither was it Hyacinth. It wasn’t anyone of the group who had entered the house with her.
NightLily whipped her head around, her hands unconsciously reaching into her toybox for a set card of attack cards——then her action abruptly stopped. It wasn’t because she suddenly remembered their scenario as an ordinary person, but because when she turned around… there was no one there.
Behind her was the dark bedroom. The door of the cloakroom was wide open, and PaperIris’s half-dragged outside. There was no one.
S-saw wrong, I saw wrong!! For sure! I just didn’t see clearly…
NightLily’s brain desperately came up with logical explanations, finally calming her frightened heart back to its original position. She quickly turned back to get up in a panic, but was frozen in place by the two people in the mirror.
One was her, the other was…
The pupil of the youth contracted into a point: the mirror before her didn’t reflect the person behind her very clearly in the dim light, making their posture a little twisted, but…it shouldn’t be that twisted!!!
The “person” had drooping shoulders, standing feebly without spirit. Due to the heavy shadow, their form appeared to have been decapitated at first sight, but upon closer inspection, one would find that their head and shoulders were stuck close together. If a normal person tried to press their head to their shoulder, they could do so as long as they raised their shoulders, but if a person wanted to press their head to a drooping shoulder, their neck must be broken and bent, so that they could “touch” his shoulders at 135 degrees like this.
A chill creeped up her back. NightLily shivered as she stared attentively at the mirror: the person standing behind her with a bent neck and drooping shoulders seemed closer than earlier.
This thought left NightLily’s brain blank. She almost instinctively snapped around to confirm again——
But there was still nothing.
There was still no one else in the bedroom except her. The couple were still smiling eerily on the wall, just like a funeral photo.
NightLily gulped, making a chilling sound in the empty room. There was something else in the room. Just because she couldn’t see didn’t mean it didn’t exist.
The only thing that could see “that” was…
NightLily turned her head back with all her strength, her gaze shaking as she looked tremblingly into the mirror. In the mirror, her expression was half crying and half laughing, as distorted as the person behind her.
So ugly, so frightening, don’t want to see, I don’t want to see, I don’t want to see, I don’t want to see, –!!
Her hands and feet were frozen stiff, losing the strength to take her out of the room. She could only turn her head rigidly to avoid the mirror. However, even when her gaze could no longer reach the mirror, the scene in the mirror continued play in NightLily’s mind: the crooked-necked man was standing not more than one meter behind her, so close that one could see its long hair clotted with blood, so close that one could smell the pungent smell of dried blood, so close that it could reach her neck——
NightLily shook violently. Her head spun nervously from side to side as she tried to find the ghostly figure that she was afraid to see, but couldn’t lose (sight of).
Empty! Empty! Empty! It wasn’t here! Where is it? Where is it? WHERE IS IT!?
The girl’s eyes were wide to the point of bulging, yet her bloodshot eyes still couldn’t reflect that figure.
Can’t find it! Can’t find it! I can’t find it anywhere! It’s going to kill me. It’s coming, it’s coming to kill me! Gotta get out, right, I need to get away-!
NightLily raised her soft, jelly-like legs and ran, stumbling to the door. However, right as she took her first step, the hair on her neck stood up as a cold breath settled on her nape——it was as if the “person” was draped across her back, its head hanging right against her neck, b-r-e-a-t-h-i-n-g——
The girl’s tense nerves were like a string stretched to the max, breaking with a ‘snap’. As though possessed, she turned her head inch by inch, slowly turning back to the mirror…
Seeing the scene in the mirror, NightLily let out a chilling scream.
“YIAHHHHHHHHHHH——!”
