In the dressing mirror of the rental house, there is always someone combing Chen Mo's hair.
It was a woman in red, with black hair hanging down to the ground. The peach wood comb in her hand had half of its teeth missing, and there was a peach blossom curse wrapped around the teeth of the comb that he couldn't understand. Whenever the clock strikes midnight, the man in the mirror will smile at him and say, "It's been ten years, it's time to return what's mine."
Chen Mo thought it was a hallucination until the landlord woke him up with a text message about a rent increase - this month's rent happened to be the total pension of the seven people who died in the "Scarlet Rain Night" ten years ago. The peach blossom marks that suddenly appeared on the back of his hand perfectly coincided with the lines between the teeth of the woman's comb in the mirror.
A picked-up peach comb involved a conspiracy spanning ten years:
Brother Li from the Exception Management Bureau always said "Be careful with the mirror" when handing out cigarettes, but turned around and wrote in the file "Chen Mo, the container fitness degree is 98%";
The gentle and kind Sister Lin helped him block the black hand stretched out in the mirror, but the half-peach blossom mark on the back of her hand had the same origin as the scar of Zhao Kun, the culprit who created the scarlet rainy night;
Even Su Wan, the woman in the mirror, is hiding a secret: she is not asking for her life, but wants Chen Mo to remember the truth - among the seven "sacrifice" who died in the theater alley, the seventh one was his grandfather, and he was the only "descendant of the gatekeeper" who could seal the cracks in the mirror image.
When a scarlet gap opened over the city, and when all the reflections in the mirrors raised their peach combs, Chen Mo finally held the peach comb tightly and looked at his faceless self in the mirror:
"What I want to pay back is not my life, but the ten years that were stolen and the rules that were tampered with."
——This is a gamble using memory as a bargaining chip. If you win, both worlds will belong to you.
