Chapter 24: Reflections in the Mirror
.
This room wasn’t like this before!
Yu Sheng realized it instantly. He vividly remembered how the room that had once trapped Irene looked—empty, barren, not a single piece of furniture, not even a chair. There had only been a solitary oil painting hanging on the wall directly opposite the door…
But now, various kinds of furniture were arranged inside, and a mirror hung on the wall facing the door.
A flicker of doubt and unease surfaced in his mind, but Yu Sheng didn’t sense any dangerous aura in the room.
Of course, he knew that this so-called “sense of danger” sounded strange, but after several brushes with death, he did feel he’d developed a knack for sensing peril. And here… he felt the room before him was safe.
He hesitated at the doorway for a few seconds, then stepped inside.
Everything in the room appeared perfectly normal. No monsters wielding pitchforks sprang from the corners as he entered, nor did a firepot drop from above. Sunlight streamed gently through the windows, and the air was fresh, without any hint of decay or suspicious odors.
Yu Sheng inspected the room thoroughly, confirming that the furniture and decorations were just ordinary items. Finally, he came to stand before the mirror facing the door.
