Ji Li promptly raised his collar to block the large spray of filth, though one corner of his shirt was still stained with blood.
Inside the mirror, the light was dim and sparse, as though he were standing within shadows.
His expression darkened completely at that moment. Looking down from above at the corpse bleeding hot blood, he slowly turned his head toward his back.

The second possibility: there was another ghost inside
