After hearing Li Feng's instructions, Old Chang's expression shifted slightly.
He had not expected this to actually be a Paranormal Entity incident.
And whenever a Paranormal Entity incident occurred, no matter how large or small, everyone nearby had to be evacuated.
So Old Chang did not hesitate. He immediately nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Yes! Mr. Lu, come downstairs with me..."
As he spoke, Old Chang was already heading outside, pulling out his phone to notify the Public Security Bureau of what had happened.
"Huh...? Oh, right, right..."
Lu Bingyi first looked blankly at Li Feng and Old Chang, then abruptly caught on, fear spreading across his face.
This was... really a Paranormal Entity incident?!
Without another word, he immediately followed Old Chang out of the room.
Faced with supernatural phenomena and Vengeful Ghosts, an ordinary person like him was better off staying far away.
Only after watching them leave did Li Feng turn back toward the bathroom.
However, he did not enter it right away.
After all, he had to give the Public Security Bureau's Public Security Officers some time to evacuate the residents in the surrounding units.
After roughly five or six minutes, a commotion began outside.
Another five or six minutes passed, and the noise gradually subsided. Old Chang stood outside the door, looking at Li Feng worriedly.
"Investigator Li, please be careful!"
"Mm! I will!"
Li Feng nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Old Chang turned and hurried downstairs.
After all, he was only an ordinary person. Although he had made some progress in the Human Body Tempering Art, he had yet to master any true supernatural power. Naturally, he would not stay and get in the way.
After watching Old Chang disappear from view, Li Feng turned his attention back to the bathroom.
Honestly, this was Li Feng's first time handling a Paranormal Entity incident on his own. It would have been a lie to say he was not nervous.
But beneath that nervousness, Li Feng also felt a flicker of excitement.
He had been worrying about not finding any supernatural phenomena or Vengeful Ghosts, and now one had come right to him, hadn't it?
He took another step forward, stopping right beside the bathroom door.
The next instant, wisps of fog began rising inside the room.
They gradually enveloped the area around Li Feng, spreading into the bathroom little by little.
In battle, controlling the field was crucial.
More importantly, if he could resolve this with mind fog, why should Li Feng put himself at risk?
Gradually, the entire bathroom and its surroundings were shrouded in a thick layer of fog, so dense that someone standing opposite would be barely visible.
Using his mind fog, Li Feng began carefully sensing the abnormalities in the bathroom.
The sink, the bathtub, the toilet...
Nothing showed any sign of abnormality. He could not even sense any supernatural power.
Li Feng frowned slightly. Then, with a sudden thought, he summoned Chief.
"Meow!"
Chief meowed and rubbed against Li Feng's trouser leg before looking toward the bathroom.
"Meow!"
Instantly, Chief's fur bristled slightly, and he hunched his body in wary anticipation.
Seeing this, Li Feng understood immediately. There had to be a Vengeful Ghost or some Paranormal Entity in the bathroom.
Most likely, it was a Paranormal Entity.
If it were a Vengeful Ghost, no matter how weak, there was no way he could fail to sense it at all when he controlled two Vengeful Ghosts himself.
A Paranormal Entity?
Li Feng murmured inwardly.
But even though he now knew there was a Paranormal Entity inside the bathroom,
he still could not detect where the Paranormal Entity's core lay.
With a thought, Li Feng instantly synchronized his vision with Chief's through their connection, beginning to examine the bathroom from Chief's perspective.
Everything in the bathroom instantly looked somewhat illusory, as though these were not real objects but insubstantial images.
Nor were those objects entirely devoid of supernatural power. It was simply extremely faint, almost nonexistent.
That was precisely why the Tracking Compass had struggled to detect it.
Li Feng frowned slightly and once again used his mind fog to examine the entire bathroom carefully.
Little by little...
The sink, the toothbrush, the toothpaste...
Suddenly, Li Feng's gaze focused on the toothpaste.
Or rather, on the writing on the toothpaste.
All the writing on the toothpaste was reversed, like the lettering on a stamp or an engraving block.
"Reversed..."
Li Feng murmured, instantly sweeping his awareness over the other areas.
Sure enough, the lettering on the washing machine and water heater labels was reversed as well.
Scanning the bathroom once more, Li Feng finally understood what was wrong.
Everything in the entire bathroom was reversed.
Under what circumstances would everything in a bathroom be reversed?
Li Feng's gaze locked almost instantly onto the bathroom mirror.
Everything in a mirror was reversed...
He carefully examined the mirror's surface, which reflected everything in the bathroom. Sure enough, the writing on the toothpaste and the labels on the washing machine and water heater all appeared normal.
Now, he had more or less pinpointed the location of the Paranormal Entity's core.
He shifted his gaze to the bathroom mirror.
Through Chief's eyes, everything else in the bathroom looked like an illusory image. Only the mirror was solid.
Or rather, it was more substantial than everything else, and the Paranormal Entity's power upon it was comparatively a little stronger.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the thick fog inside the bathroom began converging on the mirror.
Gradually, the fog all but became an impenetrable curtain, firmly covering the mirror's surface.
At once, faint ripples began spreading through everything in the bathroom.
Then every object began dissipating, gradually turning into fog identical to his mind fog.
Except Li Feng had no control over it whatsoever.
At the same time, Li Feng felt as though his mind fog had suddenly shifted into another space.
His awareness briefly blurred, and his view split in two.
Through his mind fog, he saw a perfectly normal bathroom, with all the writing and everything else restored to normal.
With his naked eyes, he saw a bathroom filled with roiling fog.
After only a brief frown of thought, Li Feng more or less guessed the reason.
The Paranormal Entity's ability was probably to transpose and reverse reality.
It could project and transfer everything in reality into the mirror, then project the mirror's reflection back into reality.
Moreover, just like looking into a mirror, the reflection projected into reality was identical to the real objects, except that everything was reversed.
And because it was essentially only a mirror's reflection, it contained very little supernatural power.
That made it difficult to detect with the Tracking Compass.
In particular, a Tracking Compass without supernatural power reinforcing it had absolutely no chance of discovering it.
That was also why the Public Security Bureau had not noticed anything wrong.
The Public Security Bureau's Public Security Officers were not supernatural cultivators.
Besides that, the mirror in reality might likewise be a reflection of the real mirror.
Trying to strike the Paranormal Entity's core by attacking the mirror in reality might also be impossible.
However, the mirror in reality was indeed a passage into Mirror Space. Faced with the Paranormal Entity mirror's reversal of illusion and reality, its exchange of real objects and mirrored images,
an ordinary supernatural practitioner would probably have to pass through the mirror on the wall into Mirror Space, attack the Paranormal Entity's core, and completely destroy Mirror Space to resolve this incident.
Li Feng, however, was an exception.
Although he had not entered mirror space himself, the mind fog concentrated in the bathroom had already been transferred there by the supernatural phenomenon's ability.
And his mind fog was hardly without means of attack.
The mind fog churned, instantly enveloping the mirror and beginning to eat away at it.
Just then, however, the bathroom door suddenly opened, revealing a man and a woman.
Seeing this through his mind fog, Li Feng could not help feeling slightly stunned.
There were actually people in Mirror Space?
"Huh? Zhao, why is there fog in the bathroom?"
Wang Qianqian stared at the bathroom in surprise.
"...Good, good, good! We might finally be saved..."
As Zhao Le gazed at the thick fog churning inside the bathroom, wild joy spread across his face.
"What? You're saying we can be saved?"
Hearing Zhao Le's words, Wang Qianqian abruptly caught on as well.
As long as something changed, it meant there was a chance for things to turn around.
The two immediately rushed into the bathroom, pressing close to the mirror and staring at the fog churning within it.
Bang, bang, bang...
They slapped the mirror forcefully while shouting:
"Is anyone there? Anyone? Please come save us! We're trapped in here..."
Meanwhile, as he observed them through his mind fog, Li Feng paused slightly, an unreadable expression crossing his face.
What had Lu Bingyi said in his report...?
Someone next door was pounding on the wall...
Could it be that the people pounding on the wall weren't the neighbors, but Zhao Le and Wang Qianqian, trapped in Mirror Space?
Even as he pondered this, Li Feng began directing a portion of his mind fog to spread beyond the bathroom.
Previously, he had assumed mirror space contained only the bathroom, so he had not given it much thought and had simply used his mind fog to erode the supernatural mirror on the wall.
But now, seeing Zhao Le and Wang Qianqian enter from outside the bathroom, he could not help growing curious.
Just how big was this Mirror Space?
And logically, shouldn't Mirror Space only extend as far as the mirror could reflect?
That was why he began directing some of his mind fog to spread beyond the bathroom.
As the mind fog spread, Li Feng gradually discovered that mirror space actually encompassed all of Room 403.
Gulp!
Upon discovering that mirror space encompassed all of Room 403, Li Feng suddenly trembled slightly, his throat bobbing as he silently swallowed.
He surveyed his surroundings. Nothing seemed unusual, except for the floor tiles, polished smooth as mirrors.
"The floor... the tiles... Smooth... as... mirrors!"
Li Feng lowered his head with difficulty, looking straight into the eyes of his own reflection in the floor.
The next instant, the image reflected in the floor tiles suddenly gave an eerie smile.
Then, before Li Feng could react, ripples spread across the floor beneath his feet.
Startled, Li Feng instinctively pushed off with both feet, trying to leap away.
But when Li Feng kicked off, he felt only emptiness beneath his feet and instantly plunged downward.
By the time he reacted, both feet were already planted on solid ground again.
Li Feng surveyed his surroundings in alarm and uncertainty. Nothing seemed different.
No!
Li Feng whipped his head around toward the bathroom.
