Jiang Nuo was startled and looked up in surprise. When she looked down again, Han Wenche, who had been sitting on the sofa, had disappeared.
"You noticed there was no one in the living room just now?" he asked.
Si Yan nodded slowly.
Then both of them fell silent.
Jiang Nuo: "You mean... if even I can't detect it, won't it be very difficult to kill?"
Si Yan: "I think so."
Jiang Nuo looked wistfully at Si Yan's hair for a few seconds, then reached out and patted his head; it was soft.
He likes to touch his left eye when he's thinking, and recently he's developed a habit of touching Si Yan when he's troubled.
"Let's go to sleep first."
Jiang Nuo pondered for a while before giving his conclusion.
"Good."
Si Yan readily agreed, and the two continued walking upstairs side by side.
[ God Nuo's motto: When in doubt, eat and sleep first.]
There's a sense of peace in sleeping amidst the chaos of the world.
However, this sense of security is destined to be short-lived.
Jiang Nuo had just closed the door and was getting ready for bed when Si Yan even changed out of her pajamas from her suitcase.
A sudden scream came from downstairs, deafening and piercing my eardrums.
The two covered their ears and looked at each other.
Jiang Nuo muttered sullenly, "This show is so noisy."
He intended to stay out of it, but the girl who screamed started shouting Jiang Nuo's name again.
It wasn't exactly a plea for help, but after listening for a while, Si Yan felt that there was a hint of embarrassment, anger, and resentment mixed in with the tone.
When they went downstairs, they saw Jin Jin, who had been sleeping, run out in his pajamas, his face covered in tears, clutching his chest tightly, as if he had suffered some injustice.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoxiao and Zhu An had also returned, and Han Wenche, who had been staying at the villa, ran over as well.
Jin Jin! What's wrong?
Yang Xiaoxiao quickly put her disheveled pajamas back on, "Don't rush, speak slowly."
Seeing Jiang Nuo acting as if nothing had happened, Jin Jin was both angry and annoyed, and pointed his finger directly at Jiang Nuo's nose.
"He... he broke into my room and watched me change clothes!! He even tried to molest me!"
Everyone:!!!
Jiang Nuo: "...?" What an undeserved disaster.
He laughed angrily, "These days, you don't need evidence to spread rumors, miss?"
I just want to get a good night's sleep!
The moment Si Yan heard this, his face darkened. " Nuonuo is with me."
"But I clearly saw it all!! You were standing behind me watching me change! If I hadn't looked up at the mirror..."
Jin Jin cried sobbing uncontrollably, "How long are you planning to keep watching!"
"And you're still smiling at me..."
Jin Jin had never seen such a sinister and eerie smile before, and the thought that this person had always dealt with ghosts made it even more terrifying.
Jiang Nuo: "Oh dear, you've encountered a ghost."
He stretched out his hands and made a biting motion, looking fierce and menacing.
Jin Jin again in fright, unable to believe what she had heard, and looked at Yang Xiaoxiao for help.
"Have I encountered a ghost...?"
She was so weak that it seemed she would faint if she just agreed.
Yang Xiaoxiao hesitated before saying, "There are unclean things in the hut that will turn into our likeness."
Considering Jin Jin's timidity, Yang Xiaoxiao didn't say much.
Zhu An nodded in agreement, "Be careful."
But even this description alone was enough to make Jin Jin go weak with fear.
"... I'm not recording anymore..."
Jin Jin cried and wiped away her tears, "It was supposed to be a romance variety show... why are there ghosts involved?!"
"I came here to find someone to date, not to look for ghosts!! What on earth is your production team doing?"
Sobbing, she stormed out of the cabin to find the staff and the production team.
"I'm not recording anymore! I'll pay the penalty for breaking the contract!! I'll die if I stay any longer."
"If you want to catch ghosts, go catch them yourselves..."
The staff were very worried. "This... I don't know what's wrong today. It's easy to get in but hard to get out, and the mountain road is blocked too."
"How about this... you get a good night's rest tonight, and we'll send a car to take you away first thing tomorrow morning."
I never even considered canceling the show.
The current live stream's popularity surpasses the combined viewership of their previous episodes.
Suddenly, the director no longer regretted inviting Jiang Nuo and the other person; they're practically cash cows!!
Since that's what they said, Jin Jin couldn't walk on her own two feet, so she had no choice but to agree to the production team's request.
She ignored everyone else, and even Han Wenche, whom she had always been interested in, had no intention of continuing their relationship.
Jin Jin hurried back to her room to pack her luggage, not noticing that the talisman she had casually tucked into her purse that morning had fallen out.
Then it floated lightly down in front of the mirror and touched the ground.
After packing her luggage, Jin Jin subconsciously looked at the full-length mirror in the room, and suddenly her body stiffened, her fingers went numb and trembled, as if she had been frozen in place.
There are two of her in the mirror.
Who's that standing there?!
Who are you?!
"Well..."
Jin Jin was suddenly pulled in front of the mirror by a suction force, half of her arm already sinking in. She was shocked to find that the opposite side was bone-chillingly cold, and she had lost the ability to think, struggling only on instinct.
But my throat was being choked, it hurt so much... I couldn't even breathe, and opening my mouth to ask for help was even more difficult.
At the critical moment, Jin Jin's arm outside the mirror struggled wildly and touched the talisman given to him by Jiang Nuo.
Barely supporting his upper body, he pulled out the talisman, intending to stick it on the mirror, but only after he finished did he realize that he had broken it in half by his own weight.
Even so, the mirror calmed down for the time being.
Jin Jin didn't even have time to catch her breath. Instinctively, she got up and ran to the door, only to touch a cold mirror.
"No... no!!!"
She screamed and was dragged inside.
The broken half of the talisman floated lightly to the ground.
Silence fell over the room.
A dozen seconds later, Jin Jin appeared by the bedside, quietly looking at himself in the mirror and smiling.
Until night falls.
Jiang Nuo, having had a good sleep, quietly went downstairs wearing his clothes. Following the method Yang Xiaoxiao and the others had described for encountering ghosts, he walked up one step at a time, counting as he went, and then spending two seconds scoffing at this childish behavior.
Trying to meet another version of myself at night.
All they saw Si Yan, who had also woken up, going downstairs to get a drink of water.
Seeing the obvious doubt in her Si Yan's eyes, Jiang Nuo tried to prove herself, "I'm seeing a ghost."
Si Yan hesitated, but did not interrupt Jiang Nuo as she counted the steps.
They even walked over together, as if they wanted to participate.
The two walked side by side, counting the steps with their heads down. Suddenly, Jiang Nuo saw a pair of familiar shoes again. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked up.
"... Si Yan?"
Jiang Nuo blinked and looked to the left.
Oh wow.
Two Si Yan.
Exactly the same!
