After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

Following Luo Nan's gaze, Ruan Ning subconsciously turned her head and looked at the walls on both sides of the corridor.

It was only then that she was shocked to discover that many shards of glass had appeared on the originally bare wall.

These mirrors are arranged in a staggered manner in various corners of the corridor, accurately reflecting the strong light shining from Luo Nan's side to every corner of the corridor.

The moment Ruan Ning saw these mirrors, she instantly understood what method Chen Zhuo had used to make all of their shadows disappear.

Theoretically, there are only two ways to make a shadow disappear completely.

One method is to completely extinguish all light sources, plunging the entire space into absolute darkness.

Another method is to use lights of equal intensity to illuminate the target from all directions without blind spots, so that the light and shadow from all directions cancel each other out.

This is exactly what Chen Zhuo had Mirror Ghost do!

And that's why, without shadows, they will never again become eerie targets.

"What meticulous thinking! They were able to deduce Luo Nan's next move from his actions!"

Ruan Ning couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Chen Zhuo faced the stairwell and coldly questioned Luo Nan.

"Who exactly are you?! And what is your purpose in coming here?"

Where are the people who came to the fourth floor with you earlier?

Upon hearing this, Luo Nan's smile faltered slightly, revealing a hint of confusion as he looked Chen Zhuo up and down.

"What's your relationship with those guys?"

After asking that question, he waved his hand dismissively and chuckled.

"But it doesn't matter anymore, since they can't speak now anyway."

Luo Nan pointed to the corpses lying haphazardly in the corridor, his smile growing increasingly smug.

"The group of people who went up to the fourth floor with me are all here."

Luo Nan seemed to suddenly remember something, and patted his forehead in feigned surprise.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, there's still one person alive."

He deliberately dragged out his words, paused mysteriously for a moment, and stared intently at Chen Zhuo, trying to see a trace of anxiety or panic on his face.

But a few seconds passed, and Chen Zhuo remained standing in the same spot, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

This completely indifferent attitude froze Luo Nan's smile on his face, and a hint of exasperation flashed in his eyes.

Everything he just did now seems like a farcical clown's act!

Luo Nan gritted his teeth, his tone filled with intense anger, and spoke in a fit of rage.

"You've already witnessed the power of the one who's still alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corridor fell into a deathly silence.

Ruan Ning, who had been listening to everything silently, suddenly narrowed her eyes upon hearing this and instantly understood the meaning behind Luo Nan's words.

Then, thinking about her own future, she revealed a complex expression of shared sorrow.

As someone who had also pushed open the door, she knew better than anyone what Luo Nan's words meant.

As soon as Luo Nan spoke, the two strange and eerie auras he had sensed earlier flashed through Chen Zhuo's mind.

These two eerie auras are fundamentally different from the eerie auras carried by the assimilated mental patients in the corridor.

Based on Luo Nan's words, Chen Zhuo could conclude that the strange creature that had been hiding in the shadows and controlling them was not the guard on this floor, but Captain Liao after his mind went out of control!

As for the eerie aura that slowly dissipated at the beginning, it was probably the eerie presence guarding the first floor!

Luo Nan saw the barely perceptible change on Chen Zhuo's face, and then his face returned to that sickly smile from before.

"Judging from your expressions, you must have already guessed. You're right. That eerie creature hiding in the shadows, controlling your bodies, was the one among them who pushed open the door—the one whose mind went out of control!"

Luo Nan seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in control of everything and was eager to share these glorious deeds with everyone present!

He leaned lazily against the wall and slowly began to recount everything that happened after he and Captain Liao went up to the fourth floor.

"After I and that group of guys in uniforms arrived on the fourth floor, we soon encountered the strange creature that was originally guarding this floor."

The leader of that group, the one who lost control and pushed open the door, approached me, intending to join forces with me.

Luo Nan scoffed, his tone full of disdain.

He said he wanted me to go with him to first hold off the guards on the fourth floor, and then take the opportunity to go to the fifth floor with his men.

I thought about it and finally agreed. And things went exactly as we planned; we managed to severely injure the monster together.

Luo Nan licked the corner of his mouth, revealing a smug expression.

"Just as that unlucky guy was about to lead his people to the fifth floor, I slowly retreated behind them."

Before they could recover their strength, I ambushed them from behind!

I took care of those scumbags that unlucky guy brought in first, crushing their throats one by one and watching them die right in front of me!

Luo Nan's smile grew even more arrogant, as if he were immersed in the scene from that moment.

"Then I started to deal with the person who pushed the door open, making him keep using strange powers!"

And just like that, his heart completely spiraled out of control, turning him into the person he is today!

Luo Nan raised his hand and pointed to the ward with its door tightly closed in the middle of the corridor. The smile on his face faded and turned into a sinister look.

"But what I didn't expect was that after that guy lost control of his mind, he would become so difficult to deal with."

Not only did it leave me with no way to remove his heart seed, it also nearly tricked me.

When I tried to go to the fifth floor to take refuge, I found that he had blocked the way!

Given my physical strength at the time, suppressing him was not an easy task.

Luo Nan shrugged, feeling rather helpless.

"So I had no choice but to stay in the stairwell on the third floor for the time being and wait for the right opportunity to take action."

Then I saw your whole group of people appear on the third floor in a grand procession.

Luo Nan's gaze fell on Chen Zhuo again, his eyes brimming with greed and excitement.

"You all saw what happened next, so I don't need to say anything more."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Nan's body, which had been leaning against the wall, suddenly vanished from the spot!

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the mirror closest to him.

He raised his hand and reached for the mirror, wanting to destroy it completely.

As soon as a piece of mirror shatters, a shadow will reappear beneath their feet, and they will quickly slip back into the shadows of the stairwell before being controlled.

After they kill each other, I will then go and take the heart seeds from Chen Zhuo and Ruan Ning!

However, Chen Zhuo was a step ahead of him.

Just as Luo Nan was about to touch the mirror, Chen Zhuo stood in front of it, simultaneously swatting Luo Nan's hand aside.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his right hand and swung the white bone cane fiercely towards Luo Nan!

Upon seeing this, Luo Nan showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he burst into a maniacal laugh.

"Good! Very good! The more times you make your move, the easier it is for your mind to be corrupted by the strange, and the easier it is for you to lose control!"

I'm so looking forward to seeing what you'll be like when your heart is out of control, and what kind of seeds will sprout! Hahahaha!

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he walked straight towards Chen Zhuo without flinching.
