"Secret Technique: Swallow Counter!"
The scissors carved an elegant arc through the air, instantly slicing off both of the Mirror Ghost's arms!
Overcome by the pain, the Mirror Ghost instinctively retreated into the mirror.
But An Xinghe's attack wasn't over yet! He unleashed Swallow Counter again! This time, his target was the mirror itself!
"Clang!"
The scissors struck the mirror, producing a sound like metal colliding with metal.
The scissors could easily sever the Mirror Ghost's arms, yet now they failed to leave even the slightest crack on the mirror!
An Xinghe was a little stunned.
Was this mirror really made that well?
Seeing An Xinghe's dazed expression, the seriously injured Mirror Ghost endured the pain and mocked him:
"Hahaha! Stunned, are you? I don't mind telling you—the strongest thing about us Mirror Ghosts has never been our offensive ability, but our invincible defensive power!"
"We continuously reinforce our mirrors with all kinds of evil arts until they become unbelievably sturdy! According to legend, the mirror that serves as the true body of a thousand-year-old Mirror Ghost can't even be damaged by the gods!"
"Hahaha! Although I can't beat you, as long as you can't smash the mirror, you can't hurt me either!"
An Xinghe was not the kind of person who would accept defeat. He used Swallow Counter several more times in succession, but none of them damaged the mirror.
Only then did he begin to think carefully.
If he used Spirit Ball here, he might be able to shatter the mirror, but it would completely drain his stamina, which would be highly disadvantageous for the next few missions.
About five minutes later, An Xinghe came up with an idea!
He gave the Mirror Ghost a strange smile:
"You said you kept reinforcing the mirror with evil arts, right?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"Heh, what a coincidence. I just remembered that our Celestial Dynasty has an evil-banishing secret technique passed down since ancient times! It's simple to perform and quite powerful. It's called—"
"Boy's Urine!"
With that, An Xinghe began unfastening his belt.
Live-stream chat.
[Holy crap! Brother An! It doesn't have to come to this!] [Leaving aside whether Boy's Urine works, is An Xinghe still a virgin?] [How could he be?! If he were, there wouldn't be any adults left in the world!] [Listen to yourselves. An Xinghe was a virgin once, too!] [The Mirror Ghost is about to get a taste of something good!]
The instant An Xinghe began unfastening his belt, the Mirror Ghost panicked.
It wasn't afraid of Boy's Urine. It was afraid of getting soaked! It hurriedly shouted:
"You human! Don't you have any standards?! You can actually do something this vulgar! Don't you care about your image at all?!"
Although it shouted this, the Mirror Ghost was actually filled with despair.
However, to everyone's surprise, An Xinghe stopped unfastening his belt!
He nodded in agreement. "You're right! You're stuck here and can't go anywhere, so why should I rush to use my ultimate move?"
"I was too hasty. I was too hasty."
"Stay here and don't move. I'll go buy you some oranges... Bah, I mean, find something good."
An Xinghe left the bathroom in a hurry, leaving the Mirror Ghost standing there in a daze.
Still, the Mirror Ghost felt a tiny bit comforted at having at least avoided being drenched.
But by now, it had begun regretting provoking An Xinghe. It wished it could slap itself!
Of all the people you could have provoked, why did you have to provoke such a shameless menace?!
About ten minutes later, An Xinghe returned with a calligraphy brush in one hand and a bucket of ink in the other.
A sense of foreboding rose in the Mirror Ghost's heart, and it hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?!"
"Practice calligraphy!"
An Xinghe picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the mirror:
"Five Stars suppress the colors, their light illuminating the dark. Ten thousand gods and saints protect my true spirit. Giant heavenly beasts subdue the five weapons. The demons of the five heavens, perish in body and be destroyed in form..."
As An Xinghe wrote, the Mirror Ghost clearly felt the evil arts it had cast on the mirror gradually disappearing. It cried out in despair:
"What did you write on the mirror?!"
"Nothing much. On the left side of the mirror, I wrote a Taoist Ghost Exorcism Incantation. In the middle, I wrote the Diamond Sutra. Now I'm drawing Solomon's hexagram."
Live-stream chat.
[Taoism, Buddhism, and a hexagram—what ghost could withstand that?!] [The Mirror Ghost must regret not being able to move! Being at An Xinghe's mercy is worse than dying outright!] [The Mirror Ghost died beneath the combined power of three religions. Its death was worthwhile!] [I suddenly feel a little sorry for the Mirror Ghost.] [Same. This guy is seriously miserable. But please, hit it harder!]
Chapter 70: Your Perspective Is Too Narrow!
After An Xinghe finished drawing the final hexagram, the Mirror Ghost felt that all the evil arts it had cast on the mirror had completely vanished!
That was only to be expected! What ghost could survive a combined attack of Buddhism, Taoism, and a hexagram?!
Just as the Mirror Ghost was frantically thinking of a way to escape, An Xinghe had already taken out the scissors.
The Mirror Ghost abruptly backed away and shouted, "Don't come any closer!!"
"Heh heh! Too late! Secret Technique—Swallow Counter!"
This time, the scissors did not miss!
They smashed the mirror directly!
Without the support of the evil arts, it was merely an ordinary mirror. How could it withstand the high-quality Slit-Mouthed Woman's scissors combined with Swallow Counter?
The mirror shattered into over a hundred pieces, which clattered into the sink.
[Ding! Player An Xinghe has completed one of the Five Great Campus Horror Legends: The Ghost in the Mirror.] [Current mission progress: 2/5]
Liu Qingmeng, who was searching nearby, heard the system notification, and her hand trembled!
I haven't even encountered a single ghost, and An Xinghe has already dealt with two?
If this continues, I'll have to deal with all three remaining ghosts just to surpass An Xinghe!
Liu Qingmeng encouraged herself and began searching carefully again.
As for An Xinghe, watching the Mirror Ghost's demise, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Who knew when he would next encounter a ghost that couldn't go anywhere and could be left entirely to his mercy?
He clearly hadn't had enough fun yet!
As he sighed and looked at the mirror fragments, An Xinghe suddenly noticed that there was actually a note among them!
He carefully removed the note from the shards and spread it out in front of him.
[Name: Duoshi Huali's Diary 02] [Type: Mission-Related] [Quality: Dilapidated] [Effect: None] [Can Be Taken Out of the Scenario: No] [Note: Please stop snooping through my diary. Otherwise, I'll join you in your depravity!] [Diary Entry: Today, Teacher Tanaka called me to the music room alone after school. At first, I thought he wanted to praise me for winning the violin championship. Who would have thought that Teacher Tanaka would suddenly pull out a fruit knife and say he was going to chop off my fingers so I could never play the violin again! I clearly hadn't done anything wrong! Why did he want to do this to me?! I fought back desperately and eventually stabbed the fruit knife into his stomach. With one forceful slash, his intestines spilled out. I know I killed someone. But I don't regret it. It was self-defense.]
After reading the diary entry, An Xinghe had a rough understanding of what had happened.
Duoshi Huali was a student at this school and an exceptionally skilled violinist who had represented the school in winning a championship.
However, despite winning the championship, she not only failed to receive praise but was treated coldly by her music teacher, Tanaka.
In the end, Tanaka had even tried to kill Duoshi Huali!
Unfortunately, she killed him first!
What a loser!
An Xinghe's heart was filled with boundless disdain for Tanaka! An adult had been killed by a little girl in a confrontation! Do you even know how to play the game?!
What made it even more infuriating was that when An Xinghe saw the line, "Today, Teacher Tanaka called me to the music room alone after school," he had assumed that a development he would enjoy was about to unfold. Who would have thought that Tanaka merely wanted to commit murder?!
Your perspective is too narrow!
However, An Xinghe quickly let it go, because if the kind of plot he often read had occurred, the male lead would generally have been the physical education teacher.
An Xinghe put the diary entry away. There was still one unanswered question in its story.
Why had Tanaka wanted to kill Duoshi Huali?
