"Is the mirror watching you, or itself in the mirror?"
A mirror appeared at some point by the stairs on the fifth floor of the women's dormitory.
A large, thin piece of wood with jagged edges was stuck to the back of the mirror, as if someone had forcefully peeled it off a plank.
No one wondered why the mirror had appeared there. They simply stopped to straighten their clothes whenever they passed it.
Until one day, people in the building began dying one after another.
The first was Zhou Fanyin's roommate.
She was missing for a night. The next morning, they found her collapsed in front of the mirror on the fifth-floor landing.
Beside her was a sentence written in blood: Do you know where the mirror came from?
The second was the class representative who lived across the hall from Zhou Fanyin.
She woke up to find herself lying dead in her bed.
The same sentence was written in blood on her bedsheets: Do you know where the mirror came from?
The third was a young girl who lived in the dorm room at the very end of the fifth floor.
She mysteriously died on the rooftop, where no one ever went.
Beside her was that same sentence, written in blood: Do you know where the mirror came from?
Where did the mirror come from?
A cold fingertip lifted Zhou Fanyin's chin.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the nonchalant man before her, then suddenly smiled.
"I don't know where the mirror came from, but I do know it's watching you."
