This Isn't Selfishness, It's All for the Greater Good

"Who are you?!"

The police captain questioned him sternly, raising his gun as he did so.

The other officers also raised their guns. Although they hadn't believed in the existence of supernatural forces before, the facts were now undeniable, and they had no choice but to believe.

They weren't the kind of stubborn old fogies who, despite the obvious anomalies right before their eyes, would still insist that "it's all fake," that it must all be "high-tech special effects, a prank" or other such nonsense.

Any abnormality that can be observed with the naked eye is real, and reality will not change just because we deny it.

Despite the captain's questioning and the dark muzzle of a gun pointed at her, "Jiang Jianwei" remained standing quietly, her expression cold and lifeless, showing no emotional fluctuation.

The captain was sweating profusely; something was definitely wrong with the woman in front of him. He quietly gestured for her to back away.

He has a wide network of connections and is fairly well-informed. He's heard that these supernatural and supernatural things aren't afraid of physical attacks, so when encountering unusual phenomena, never rely on having weapons or having more people to choose to confront them head-on.

If you win, everyone is happy; if you lose, it might not only cost you your life, but could lead to even more serious consequences, just like in the case of Shanque City. What was thought to be just the suppression of a superhuman who indiscriminately killed innocent people turned into the destruction of an entire city.

Because of his knowledge of some inside information, the captain chose to retreat immediately upon discovering that the case was indeed a supernatural event, without even attempting to rescue the victim.

The victim trapped inside the mirror is beyond the ability of ordinary police officers to rescue. Instead of wasting time and feeling sorry for themselves, they should seek help from professionals as soon as possible.

However, when the police captain wanted to retreat, "Jiang Jianwei" walked towards them with a smile on her face and extended her pale palm.

In an instant, the walls, ceiling, and floor on all sides seemed to turn into mirrors.

The police officers' reflections appeared in the mirror, their smiles twisted as they reached out, seemingly trying to pull their real-world counterparts into the Mirror World, then replace them.

Because the captain remained vigilant, he narrowly avoided being dragged by the Mirror Ghost, but the others were not so lucky.

"Bang--"

In a moment of panic, a police officer did not hesitate to pull the trigger at "Jiang Jianwei." The bullet was fired immediately, and due to the close distance, it struck "Jiang Jianwei" in the head.

A "click--" sound.

Instead of the sound of bullets piercing flesh and bone, there was the sound of glass shattering.

But the glass didn't actually shatter. "Jiang Jianwei," who was hit by the bullet, was unharmed, still wearing a sinister and eerie smile, her eyes empty and lifeless.

The reflection in the mirror continued to pull at the officers.

"Ah!!"

After a scream, the first police officer to be dragged into the mirror appeared, followed by an identical person who walked out of the mirror. Just like "Jiang Jianwei," he was pale and numb, not like a living person.

Seeing this, the captain panicked and fired bullets wildly at "Jiang Jianwei." Although he knew it was useless, firing the gun would effectively reduce his fear.

Unfortunately, when faced with Supernatural events, courage and willpower alone are not enough to overcome them.

Seeing his men dwindling, the captain made a desperate decision: rather than all of them dying here, he would rather escape and at least bring news and intelligence out with him.

This wasn't selfish of him; he was thinking of the bigger picture!

Having made up his mind, his eyes hardened. Taking advantage of the remaining chance to escape, he abandoned his subordinates, turned around, rushed to the door, and ran out without looking back.

"Captain Wu, you..."

He could faintly hear screams behind him, but Captain Wu Jiangu paid no attention. Even though he was running in a hurry, he did not lose his mind during the escape and carefully avoided the mirrors that could reflect light.

Only after he was absolutely sure he was safe did he take out his phone and quickly report the situation.

The Fierce Ghost codenamed [Magic Mirror] is one of Hu Jiu's trump cards.

He usually uses [Mirage] and [Magic Mirror] together, and the superposition of the mirror image and the Phantom often achieves a 1+1>2 effect.

Sometimes he adds nightmare elements, which makes it even more unsolvable.

Unless he resorts to extreme violence to break the deadlock, unfortunately, he has never seen anyone in this world more powerful and violent than Hu Jiu.

It's practically impossible for an ordinary person to escape from the revived [Magic Mirror]; even maxing out your luck stat won't help.

The Captain Wu was able to escape was simply because Hu Jiu deliberately let him go, allowing him to leave alive and spreading fear.

If fear cannot spread, then it is meaningless!

"Let's make this place more lively, haha..."

Hu Jiu's figure was hidden in the darkness, but his laughter lingered, waiting for an unsuspecting ordinary person to stumble in and trigger a new round of supernatural events.

On the other side, Wu Jiangu reported his experience in detail, and apart from whitewashing his act of abandoning his teammates, all the other information was accurate.

After another round of questioning, it was already time to leave work in the evening.

Wu Jiangu looked exhausted. Instead of going home, he was placed in a quarantine center for protection.

He washed his face with cold water; he was in a terrible mood.

It wasn't that he was in a bad mood because he abandoned his teammates, but rather that ever since he escaped Jiang Jianwei's rented apartment, he had always felt a subtle sense of being watched, as if a pair of eyes were secretly observing him.

"I guess I was stressed out today, and my nerves are on edge," Wu Jiangu reassured himself.

However, he didn't notice that his phone screen was reflecting a dark and strange light.

A mobile phone screen is undoubtedly also a mirror.

Mirrors are everywhere.

After washing up, Wu Jiangu covered all the mirrors in the room with cloth, including the glass windows. He couldn't bear to see anything too smooth that could reflect his image; it gave him a psychological aversion.

Lying in bed to rest, he couldn't sleep at all. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were bloodshot. He didn't mourn for his teammates' sacrifice for a moment; all he could think about was his future career.

He had always been skeptical when his friends talked about supernatural powers.

Facing his fears today has reshaped his worldview.

He had encountered many major and tragic cases before, but none had been as impactful as today's supernatural event.

Ghosts and spirits actually exist.

Should I find a master to exorcise evil spirits and remove bad luck?

Is it possible to use this incident to get a promotion and transfer to a special department?

A whole bunch of random thoughts flashed through his mind.
