I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

Lu Zhixia said five minutes.

It took seven minutes in the end.

When the bedroom door opened again, she had changed out of her pajamas.

She wore a beige knit sweater, black trousers, her hair casually tied back, and only a touch of lipstick.

Lin Ye looked at it for two seconds.

Lu Zhixia picked up her coat.

"What are you looking at?"

"That's too fast for you."

"Say it again?"

"Let's go."

"Oh."

Suddenly, a sentence uttered from the mirror on the wall.

"He was clearly watching quite closely just now..."

Lu Zhixia turned around.

"Crimson Robe"

"I slept."

The mirror went silent instantly.

Lin Ye was delighted.

Lu Zhixia glared at him.

"Shut up too."

"I didn't say anything."

When the two came downstairs, Cheng Fang's car had just arrived.

Tang Zhi, sitting in the back row, was taken aback when she saw Lu Zhixia.

"Are you going too?"

"Zheng Huaishan asked me to take a look."

Lu Zhixia opened the car door.

"Is there a problem?"

"no."

Tang Zhi moved to make room for Lin Ye, then looked at him.

"Do you two bring your families with you on missions now?"

Lin Ye sat down inside.

"She's a professional."

"oh."

Tang Zhi drawled out her words.

"Professionals".

Lu Zhixia laughed instead.

"It's alright, please continue."

Tang Zhi immediately took a liking to her.

"I knew it, you're much easier to talk to than him."

Lin Ye: "..."

Cheng Fang sat in the front row and tapped the back of his chair in exasperation.

"Let's get down to business."

The car was quiet.

"Yunqi Mountain Villa has been placed under surveillance."

"Xu Mian is on the high ground on the outside, Qin Zhao is guarding the back gate, and the mobile team is blocking the two downhill routes."

Cheng Fang turned to look at Lu Zhixia.

"Miss Lu, once we go inside, you'll just be responsible for watching the things."

"clear."

"If Han Jingchuan arrives early, do not make contact with him."

"it is good."

"Something's really up..."

"I'll listen to Lin Ye."

Cheng Fang paused for a moment.

"OK."

Lin Ye turned his head to look at her.

"So cooperative?"

Lu Zhixia lowered her voice.

"Give your captain some face."

Twenty minutes later.

Yunqi Mountain Villa.

Zheng Huaishan lives in a detached house.

The courtyard is quite large.

They're obviously wealthy, but they didn't put much effort into those fancy decorations.

The door opened.

A man with gray hair poked his head out.

Let's look at Lu Zhixia first.

Then look at Lin Ye and Cheng Fang in the background.

"this……"

Lu Zhixia spoke.

Uncle Zheng.

"They have some business with Han Jingchuan, so let's not rush tonight's deal."

Zheng Huaishan's expression changed slightly.

"Has Boss Han gotten into trouble?"

Cheng Fangliang's identification documents.

"Some situations are under investigation."

"Please cooperate with us to confirm the mirror first."

Zheng Huaishan was clearly reluctant to part with two million.

His lips moved a few times.

In the end, they moved aside.

"Alright."

"Upstairs."

The mirror is placed in the second-floor storage room.

After the red cloth was lifted.

Lin Ye immediately noticed the long wooden box in the photo.

Zheng Huaishan opened the copper clasp.

"I haven't actually looked at these things much."

"It was left behind by my dad."

"The old man used to say, 'Don't take pictures at night.'"

Tang Zhi stood by the door.

Why?

Zheng Huaishan looked a little embarrassed.

"They say it's...easy to see things you shouldn't see."

"Really?"

"I didn't believe it at first either."

He coughed.

"My wife had it done once later."

Lin Ye raised his eyes.

"What do you see?"

"Her mother."

None of the people in the room spoke.

Zheng Huaishan added a sentence.

"The old lady had been gone for seven years at that time."

Tang Zhi silently took half a step back.

"Your collecting hobby is quite exciting."

Zheng Huaishan gave a wry smile.

"So it's been kept a secret all these years."

Lu Zhixia had already put on gloves.

It did not directly touch the mirror surface.

Look at the box first.

Let's look at the back panel.

Finally, Zheng Huaishan brought over a small lamp.

She took pictures of several places.

"The wooden frame was added later."

"At least much later than the mirror."

"The endoscope should have been installed earlier."

Zheng Huaishan's eyes lit up.

"To what era?"

"I can't say now."

Lu Zhixia was very decisive.

"The rust layer is too heavy, and there are old repairs on the back."

She moved the light to the edge.

"But this isn't right."

Lin Ye leaned closer.

"where?"

"Normally, repairs wouldn't intentionally leave this groove."

The edge of the back of the mirror.

There is indeed a very shallow dent around it.

It's almost completely covered in rust.

Lu Zhixia shone the lamp at an angle.

Some continuous lines can be vaguely seen.

It's not a character.

Like clouds, or like tangled threads.

"Is this the original one?"

Cheng Fang asked.

"It should be."

Lu Zhixia said:

"And it doesn't look like decoration."

"It's more like this mirror used to have some other things attached to it."

Lin Ye didn't ask any more questions.

He heard it.

It's very light.

There is a sound coming from inside the mirror.

a woman.

He is very old.

I can't hear the complete sentence.

Only a few sentences, broken and fragmented.

"……go home……"

"...Xiao Yun..."

"...Don't take the picture..."

The voice of the soul was very weak.

But it is real.

Lin Ye looked at Cheng Fang.

"There are remnants of a soul inside."

Zheng Huaishan's face turned green.

"Really?"

Tang Zhi looked at him.

"Haven't you always felt that it existed?"

"That was..."

"Is listening to stories the same as actually having the ability?"

Lin Ye ignored them.

Keep listening.

This remnant soul is completely different from the crimson-clad figure in the Mirror of the Heart.

There is no complete consciousness.

It also lacks the stable soul sound of a spirit artifact.

It should just be a part left behind by a deceased person.

But it at least illustrates one thing.

Han Jingchuan made the right choice again.

He wants to buy it.

It's definitely not an ordinary mirror.

Just then.

Xu Mian's soft voice came through the headphones.

"The car is here."

Everyone in the room fell silent instantly.

Cheng Fang pressed down on the earphone.

"How many people?"

"one."

"Han Jingchuan".

Lin Ye glanced at the time.

1:28.

The agreed time has elapsed.

Not a single point off.

Cheng Fang made arrangements quickly.

"Tang Zhi stays."

"Ms. Lu, please proceed with the normal testing process."

"Linye, next door."

Lu Zhixia glanced at him.

Lin Ye whispered:

"Don't touch him."

"Know."

"Withdraw if necessary."

"Um."

Lin Ye went into the study next door.

The door wasn't completely closed.

Only a small crack was left.

This was the first time he had officially used the "Hidden Breath Technique" in a real combat environment.

The microcosmic orbit continues as usual.

The spiritual energy was gradually drawn into the meridians.

Slow down your breathing.

My heartbeat slowed down.

The originally obvious fluctuations in spiritual energy were quickly suppressed to an extremely low level.

Cheng Fang retreated to the monitoring position in the corridor from the other side.

downstairs.

Doorbell rang.

Ding dong.

Soon.

I walked upstairs.

Not urgent.

Very stable.

Han Jingchuan's voice came through.

"Mr. Zheng."

"It's so late, and I'm troubling you."

"Mr. Han, you're too kind."

Zheng Huaishan was clearly a bit stiff.

"It just so happens that I invited a knowledgeable friend."

Han Jingchuan paused for a moment.

"Oh?"

The entrance to the collection room.

He appeared.

She was dressed the same way she did during the day.

He was just wearing a thin black trench coat over his clothes.

My gaze first fell on the mirror.

Then I saw Lu Zhixia.

This was clearly somewhat unexpected.

"Teacher Lu?"

Lu Zhixia also knew him.

"Boss Han."

"What a coincidence."

Han Jingchuan smiled.

"The circle of antique collectors in Beijing is only so big."

"Mr. Zheng actually invited you here."

Lu Zhixia took off one of her gloves.

"He said someone spent two million to buy a mirror whose age has not even been determined."

"I'm curious."

Han Jingchuan's smile deepened.

"Does Teacher Lu think it's worth it?"

"not worth."

Zheng Huaishan: "..."

Han Jingchuan burst out laughing.

"Still so direct."

"But antiques are like that."

"If someone likes it, then it's worth it."

Lu Zhixia looked at him.

"What does Boss Han like about this mirror?"

"story."

"You believe in those things too?"

"In our line of work, it's better to be a little more trustworthy."

He walked to the table as he spoke.

The forest is hidden next door.

The power of spiritual hearing had completely fallen on Han Jingchuan.

It's clearer than during the day.

Normal breathing.

Normal heartbeat.

And those two highly overlapping soul sounds.

年轻的。

Aged.

The moment Han Jingchuan approached the mirror.

The old woman's remnant soul inside suddenly trembled.

Lin Ye's expression changed slightly.

next second.

Han Jingchuan raised his hand.

The five fingers are about to touch the mirror.

The old woman's soul was somehow held captive.

Outwards.

Pull it little by little towards his palm.

"……Don't……"

For the first time, that remnant soul became clear.

"Don't……"

Lin Ye moved.

boom.

The study door was flung open.

Han Jingchuan had just heard the sound.

Lin Ye had already cut four meters in one step.

Swimming in nine steps.

It was so fast that Zheng Huaishan only saw a blur of a figure.

Snapped.

Lin Ye grabbed Han Jingchuan's wrist.

It was less than two centimeters away from the mirror.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Han Jingchuan lowered his head.

I looked at my wrist.

Look up at the woods again.

The smile on her face slowly faded.

"Mr. Lin?"

There are no pine trees in the woods.

"Boss Han."

"If you're going to buy antiques, then buy antiques."

Han Jingchuan looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Ye gestured with his chin toward the mirror on the table.

"Don't eat anything while you're at it."

Han Jingchuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Very subtle.

But this time...

Lin Ye could see it clearly.

more importantly.

Just as he uttered the word "eat".

The ancient soul voice within Han Jingchuan's body.

Chaos.

Just once.

It quickly sank back down.

Han Jingchuan suddenly smiled.

"I don't understand."

"fine."

Lin Ye also laughed.

"As long as I can understand it, that's fine."

Cheng Fang entered from the corridor.

"Han Jingchuan".

"From now on, this mirror will be under the control of the Seven Departments."

"Transaction terminated."

Han Jingchuan did not argue.

He even naturally withdrew his hand.

"sure."

He straightened his cuffs.

Then he looked at the forest.

"When did you hide there?"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Han Jingchuan remained silent for half a second.

Laughed.

"Mr. Lin is making rapid progress."

this sentence.

This made Cheng Fang's gaze even colder.

They had only met twice.

Han Jingchuan knew that Lin Ye had never been able to hide his presence before.

Lin Ye didn't answer.

Han Jingchuan didn't offer any further explanation.

He turned and walked out.

When passing by Lu Zhixia.

His pace suddenly slowed down a little.

"Teacher Lu."

"What have you been up to lately...?"

His gaze lingered on Lu Zhixia for two seconds.

"Did you receive anything interesting as well?"

The smile on Lin Ye's face vanished instantly.
