Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 291 Semifinals (7)

Like the previous mirrored spaces, this place is still full of strange funhouse mirrors, but upon closer inspection, there seem to be some differences.

Gu Shijiu habitually looked around, but Shi Qi was nowhere to be seen.

The two of them came in hand in hand, but now they've been separated.

Gu Shijiu stood there in a daze, struggling to review the situation.

The incident happened so suddenly that she hadn't even had time to react. All she remembered was that Shi Qi rushed forward and grabbed her tightly at the last moment.

What happened before? The mirror suddenly started to generate a huge attraction;

Before that... right, it was her arm that hit the mirror.

Is this why she and Shi Qi were drawn into another space? And where did Shi Qi go then?

As Gu Shijiu was lost in thought, a person suddenly rolled out of the mirror next to her.

This person's appearance is quite peculiar.

The head is irregularly oval in shape, with one side bulging out and the other side concave.

Her hair grew haphazardly, like a tangled mess of hemp.

The eyes are different sizes; the larger eye takes up almost half of the face, while the smaller one is squinted into a thin slit and is almost invisible.

His nose was flat and sunken, almost level with his face, but his mouth was wide open, revealing a set of uneven teeth, some long and sharp, others short and sparse.

Even more outrageous is the random placement of the facial features: the mouth is on the forehead, the eyes are on the cheeks, and the nose runs horizontally across the entire face.

The body also exhibited an irregular twisting, as if it had been pulled haphazardly by an invisible force.

Gu Shijiu could only barely recognize that it was indeed a person.

Even her own appearance now is hard to describe.

The two legs are of different lengths; the longer one almost touches the ground, while the shorter one is as short as a child's arm.

One arm was unusually thick and muscular, with skin that was an eerie purplish-black color;

The other arm was as fragile as a dry branch, as if it would break with the slightest sway.

Looking at the torso, the upper body protrudes forward, while the lower body is concave backward;

The skin is no longer smooth, but covered with a dense array of bumps and pits, as if it had been gnawed by countless tiny insects;

The colors were also mottled and varied, with patches of red and green, and some areas even showing an eerie blue hue.

Gu Shijiu tried to raise her hand to tidy her hair, but found that her fingers had also become strangely shaped.

Some fingers are as long and thin as needles, while others are as short and thick as pillars; their nails are long and curved, like eagle claws.

Would a funhouse mirror actually have this effect?

She had never played with funhouse mirrors before, but judging from what Shi Qi had just said, mirrors should only distort the human body, so how could they make non-existent things appear on a person's body?

Gu Shijiu stared at the blue skin on her arm, completely baffled.

"Ha." Although the newcomer's mouth was on his forehead, it didn't prevent him from speaking: "Looking at your dumbfounded appearance, are you new here?"

Gu Shijiu nodded: "Do you know how to get out?"

"What are you saying? If I knew how to get out, I wouldn't have stayed here until now." Judging from the voice, the person was a man.

Gu Shijiu was about to ask another question when she instinctively took two steps back and assumed a defensive posture.

This was her instinct when she faced danger.

The man chuckled twice: "Quite alert."

After saying that, he pounced on her like a hungry wolf.

Gu Shijiu reacted quickly, trying to dodge the man's attack by turning to the side.

However, her legs, which were of different lengths, wouldn't obey her commands. The longer leg tripped over the shorter one, and she stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

The man seized the opportunity, stretched out his thick arm, and grabbed at Gu Shijiu's shoulder.

Gu Shijiu tried to raise her arm to block, but her arm, as fragile as a withered branch, was too weak to lift in time in the chaos.

The other muscular arm, due to its excessive strength and lack of control, swung in a direction completely off target.

The man's hand gripped Gu Shijiu's shoulder tightly.

Despite the pain, Gu Shijiu swung his thick arm toward the man's head.

However, due to the excessive force and difficulty in controlling the arm, the punch did not accurately hit the man's head, but grazed his ear, creating a gust of wind.

Seeing this, the man smiled smugly and reached for Gu Shijiu's abdomen with his other hand.

Gu Shijiu tried to dodge, but her protruding upper body and concave lower body made her movements extremely slow.

The man's fist struck Gu Shijiu heavily in the abdomen. She felt as if her internal organs had been displaced, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Shijiu gritted her teeth and forced herself not to collapse.

Looking at her oddly shaped fingers, she suddenly had an idea;

Before the man could attack again, she used her long, thin fingers, as thin as needles, to stab at his eyes.

The man was caught off guard by Gu Shijiu's counterattack despite being at such a disadvantage. He was caught off guard and his large eye was pierced by her slender fingers.

The man let out a scream, released his grip on Gu Shijiu, covered his eyes, and retreated repeatedly.

Gu Shijiu tried to create some distance, but her strangely shaped body made every step extremely difficult.

The man covered his eyes, roared angrily, and charged at Gu Shijiu again.

Gu Shijiu knew she couldn't continue to passively take hits like this, but her physical condition limited her in every aspect of the fight.

Looking at the strange funhouse mirrors around her, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: perhaps these mirrors could be put to good use.

So during the fight, she spotted an opening in the man's attack and, taking advantage of the moment when he couldn't retract his strength, she dodged to the side and skillfully avoided the attack.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shijiu gave a strong push with his thick arm, and the man, unable to control his body due to inertia, crashed headfirst into the mirror next to him.

With a muffled thud, the man's forehead slammed heavily against the mirror.

The next second, a strange ripple appeared on the mirror surface, and a powerful suction force instantly pulled him in.

The man let out a terrified scream, which echoed through the space for a few moments before abruptly ending, and his figure vanished without a trace.

Gu Shijiu's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and her body could no longer support her, so she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

She was panting heavily, and the aches and pains from the deformity of her body surged up like a tide.

It took Gu Shijiu quite a while to recover.

She struggled to lift her head, looking around, trying to find clues to leave this eerie space.

Just then, a flash of light appeared in the space, and then another figure appeared not far from her.

Gu Shijiu's eyes widened warily. Despite her discomfort, she struggled to her feet and assumed a defensive stance: "Is this ever going to end?!"
