Chapter 503

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Underwater? No, no, no… I can’t!” The geek looked horrified. “I’m afraid of water. I can’t swim! I’ll drown! I mustn’t pick the black ball!”

Except for them, everyone else was numb and unbothered. gCftiT

The draw began and the geek rushed up first.

While he was still drawing lots, his mouth kept mumbling the same phrase over and over again. Listening carefully, it seemed that he was repeating, “Bodhisattva bless. Buddha bless. Jade Emperor bless. God bless. Virgin Mary bless…” and so on. He prayed to all the deities over and over again.

Tang Mianmian looked at him with contempt and sneered, “It’s better to rely on yourself than God or Buddha…”

Although this geek’s luck had always been very good, which made him feel very envious, he really didn’t believe it. Was there really a king of luck who wouldn’t draw the black ball at all? lRLmke

In the next second, the geek was done choosing. It was a red ball.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “I knew that my luck has always been very good. Looks like this time it’s pretty good as well.”

Tang Mianmian, “……”

Next, it was Tang Mianmian’s turn to draw lots. 6AVLmk

He quickly mumbled a prayer. “Bodhisattva bless. Golden Boy and Jade Maiden bless, God of the Land bless. Jade Emperor bless. Heavenly Queen Mother bless. Heavenly Peach Tree bless…”

Then, he stretched out his hand confidently and got a black ball.

Tang Mianmian, “……”

Xiao Tangqiu gave Tang Mianmian a contemptuous look. What happened to relying on yourself rather than God or Buddha?

Tang Mianmian immediately turned to see what it was. Then, his eyes lit up. “It’s the key! We’ve found the key!” pYKrkt

It was indeed a key – a silver key that looked ordinary.

Xiao Tangqiu’s intuition told him that things weren’t that simple. He picked up the key and immediately rejected that notion. “No, this key is too small. It looks like a key to open a door or box in the house, not the key to open the iron door.”

Tang Mianmian looked at it carefully and felt disappointed. The key was too small to be used for the keyhole of the iron door. But that made sense as well. How could they find the key so soon? The water in the room had only reached their ankles!

However, he was still rather geared up. “Then this must be the key to a certain room! At least we found a clue! Which room is it?” I Hg7R

The house had a one room structure and the kitchen was an open kitchen, leaving only the bathroom. However, when they found the bathroom, they realized that the bathroom door didn’t require a key.

What exactly did this key open?

They went into the bathroom, not knowing what to do, but paused the moment they entered. There were full body mirrors on the left and right sides of the bathroom, opposite of each other.

This decoration was too strange. Were two people supposed to look in the mirror with their backs against each other? IME3b

Xiao Tangqiu walked towards the mirrors and stood in front of them. He paused again.

He saw himself in this mirror… but the mirror behind him that was reflected in the mirror was empty.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

In other words, he wasn’t reflected in the mirror behind him.

P.S. In case you’re not on Discord, I missed last night’s update because my grandma was admitted to the hospital. I’ll make up for the missed chapter soon. I couldn’t do it today because I’m really just too busy working and taking care of her. Also, I wanted to say that the last part really gave me the creeps. Say it with me: I HATE MIRRORS!
