Li Zhuiyuan, a corpse retriever, travels through a mysterious resurrection.
Chapter 45 The Man Locked in the Mirror
Zhao Lei abruptly stopped in his tracks.
If that ghost follows him home, how will his family face the unseen ghost in the dead of night?
"Brother Xiaoyuan, what should we do now...?"
Li Zhuiyuan calmly said, "Everyone, please calm down and find a seat. I'll try to see if I can deal with this ghost."
"Okay, Brother Yuan."
"Brother Xiaoyuan, I'm all seated."
"Don't worry, Brother Xiaoyuan, I absolutely won't move unless you say it's okay."
When they heard Yang Jian call out "Brother Xiao Yuan" earlier, they were a little surprised because Li Zhuiyuan was younger than them.
At this moment, recalling the calm demeanor of Li Zhuiyuan when he carried the ghost child to fight against the vengeful ghost and saved them not long ago at No. 7 Middle School, and now that he has taken the initiative to stand up and say that he will deal with the vengeful ghost, they can no longer care about the age difference and smoothly call Yang Jian "Brother Xiaoyuan".
The group sat upright on the sofa, like obedient students in class, watching Li Zhuiyuan nervously.
An unseen ghost was in the private room, and they all panicked, only able to rely on Li Zhuiyuan and Yang Jian, who possessed the power of a vengeful ghost.
Li Zhuiyuan's dark eyes swept across the private room.
The ghost was right beside him, but he couldn't see it or even sense any supernatural presence when he used his ghostly powers.
"Hmm? Where's your cousin, Miao Xiaoshan?" Li Zhuiyuan asked.
"I went to the restroom," Miao Xiaoshan said.
Zhao Lei said somewhat uneasily, "In horror movies, if my cousin goes to the bathroom at this time, it means he's going to die."
Miao Xiaoshan still cared about her cousin: "Why don't we go find my cousin together?"
Just then, the door to the private room opened.
Shangguan Yun pushed open the door.
"Cousin, let's go. You've all gathered enough. Your parents said not to stay out too long."
When Miao Xiaoshan saw her cousin return, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at everyone apologetically, "Then I'll be going now."
As soon as Shangguan Yun entered, Li Zhuiyuan sensed the supernatural aura emanating from him.
He also noticed that Shangguan Yun's clothes were different from before; the pockets, prints, and letters were all reversed.
He said calmly, "If you want your whole family to die, then go home with him."
"What's wrong, Brother Xiaoyuan?" Miao Xiaoshan looked at Li Zhuiyuan in confusion. She didn't understand why Brother Xiaoyuan would say something so serious.
Li Zhuiyuan did not answer, but stepped forward and grabbed Shangguan Yun by the neck.
The terrifying force lifted him up completely.
Miao Xiaoshan panicked and rushed over, shouting, "Brother Xiaoyuan! What are you doing? My cousin will be strangled to death!"
"Snap!" Miao Xiaoshan had only taken one step when her cousin's neck was snapped.
Before Miao Xiaoshan could even shed a tear, she froze on the spot, trembling as she backed away.
Shangguan Yun's neck was snapped. His head drooped to one side, but he acted as if nothing had happened, saying to himself, "Why are you choking me, you little brat? Do you know that can kill people?"
Li Zhuiyuan twisted off his head and held it in his hand.
Shangguan Yun was still speaking: "You child are really rude, put me down right now."
Everyone stared wide-eyed in horror at the scene.
Zhao Lei screamed, "Brother Xiao Yuan, he's a ghost! He's a ghost!"
As soon as he said this, Shangguan Yun, who was still speaking, suddenly stopped moving. His body gradually faded in front of everyone and finally disappeared like a bubble.
Yang Jian immediately used Ghost Domain, and a red light enveloped the private room.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, we can't find him."
Li Zhuiyuan thought for a moment and said, "This ghost is interesting. It wants to blend in with us using a plausible identity. Once it's exposed, it will abandon that identity, disappear, and continue to hide among us."
"I couldn't sense anything supernatural when it was hiding, but when it tried to blend in with us, that supernatural aura became impossible to hide."
"If it goes undetected, this ghost can enter society as a living person, which is a huge hidden danger."
Miao Xiaoshan then cried out, "What about my cousin?"
"He just went to the restroom, let's go find him." Li Zhuiyuan walked towards the restroom, and the others followed closely behind him.
Just as he stepped out the door, Li Zhuiyuan clearly saw the silhouettes of seven people reflected in the glass of the private room door.
He himself, Yang Jian, Zhang Wei, Zhao Lei, Miao Xiaoshan, and Wang Shanshan.
There were clearly six people.
Recalling that the waiter had been standing outside the door counting the number of people, he instantly understood why the ghost couldn't see him.
This is a ghost that exists in the mirror.
On the way to the restroom, Li Zhuiyuan told Li Zhuiyuan about his discovery.
"The ghost exists in the mirror; I suspect it's the one that played rock-paper-scissors with Zhang Wei last night."
Zhang Wei's body stiffened, and he said in a trembling voice, "What? It wouldn't be that it's still upset about losing to me all night and wants to get revenge, would it?"
Yang Jian asked in confusion, "Why was Zhang Wei fine after playing with him all night, but Shangguan Yun got caught in such a short time?"
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Xiao Yun isn't good enough; he must have lost at rock-paper-scissors."
"Nobody's as bored as you, playing rock-paper-scissors with your own reflection in the mirror," Zhao Lei said, his lips twitching.
Li Zhuiyuan did not answer; he lacked sufficient information at the moment and did not know the reason.
The group arrived at the restroom, which was brightly lit and did not seem like a place where ghosts could appear.
The restroom was empty; Shangguan Yun was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Wei asked doubtfully, "Even if someone is dead, there should be a body, right?"
"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense," Miao Xiaoshan said, as if trying to reassure herself. "My cousin will be alright."
Immediately afterward, Miao Xiaoshan's phone rang.
The caller ID is [redacted].
Shangguan Yun.
Li Zhuiyuan said in a deep voice, "The ghost has already used your cousin's identity, so how could he call you?"
Miao Xiaoshan, who was about to answer the phone, froze. She thought of the ghostly phone call she received at No. 7 Middle School.
"But, but what if he really is my cousin?" Miao Xiaoshan hesitated.
"I'll take it." Li Zhuiyuan took the phone.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't think the ghost that could play rock-paper-scissors with Zhang Wei all night was very scary.
"Cousin, something's wrong with me. The toilet exit is gone, and it's so dark outside, like an abyss. I'm too scared to go out. And when I look in the mirror, I can't see anyone." Shangguan Yun's voice came out in a somewhat urgent tone.
Li Zhuiyuan did not reply, but walked towards the sink in the toilet.
There is a huge mirror there.
Through the mirror, everyone saw Shangguan Yun pacing back and forth inside, anxiously talking into the phone.
Upon seeing this, Miao Xiaoshan covered her mouth in horror.
Li Zhuiyuan returned the phone to Miao Xiaoshan and said, "It's certain that your cousin isn't dead. He was put into the mirror by a ghost."
Miao Xiaoshan took the phone and cried, "Cousin, look back, we're all outside."
Upon hearing the sound, Shangguan Yun turned around and glanced at the mirror behind her.
My cousin looked somewhat frightened as she touched the mirror.
"What's going on? Cousins, how come you're in the mirror?" Shangguan Yun panicked.
Miao Xiaoshan cried even louder: "Cousin, it's you in the mirror."
Upon realizing that she had entered the mirror, Shangguan Yun's face showed a sudden panic.
His body jolted, unable to withstand the blow, and he fell to the ground, his phone falling to the side and breaking in two.
Then, as if he had gone mad, he rushed to the mirror, pounded the mirror with both hands, and looked at everyone in fear and helplessness.
