" Ming Xu! A talisman!"
Jiang Nuo gave a low shout, and the latter immediately reacted, "Aww!!"
Ming Xu's hands trembled as he pulled out a talisman from his pocket, pointing its sharp corners at the surroundings. Since he couldn't see the spirit body, he inevitably appeared flustered.
Fortunately, he had enough talismans to suppress the soul, which was already extremely fragile.
Jiang Nuo held the remaining fragments of his soul in his hand, dangling them around. "So it was an evil spirit after all."
"Possessing the image in a mirror Fantasy about becoming human?"
The ghost squeaked twice, but refused to answer.
Jiang Nuo tossed it to Si Yan, "Then it's yours to take back to the association and smash it!"
Si Yan nodded, then pulled the ghost's neck out, "To be reduced to ashes."
"It's not me, it's not me!!"
The ghost immediately cowered, raising its blue-glowing hands high, "The ghost in the hut is me! The ghosts in the world are not me! They are other adults!"
"How come there are still..." Yang Xiaoxiao sniffed, leaning weakly on Zhu An's shoulder, "I haven't even participated in Great Adventure anymore, life is truly full of excitement."
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan each grabbed one of the ghosts, making it bounce around. "Speak quickly, or I'll beat you up," Jiang Nuo snapped at him.
"I'll talk... I'll talk!"
The ghost wailed, "I... was originally a wandering spirit possessing a mirror, nourished by the good things beneath this tomb, and after gaining godhood, I discovered that there's... uh, an adult living beneath this tomb."
"I learned his methods of killing, and that's how I became stronger."
Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow. "The grave? Where?"
He'd been in town all day and hadn't sensed any ghostly tombs.
"It's right under this little house."
The ghost pointed to the ground, "Look, this used to be where the town buried corpses, very, very low down there, where a very powerful adult lived!"
After it finished speaking, it quickly clasped its limp hands together and begged for mercy, "Great hero, I've told you everything, please have mercy and let me go."
Ming Xu swallowed hard. "This... a mass grave."
Is this the most thrilling encounter with ghosts ever?!
He and Zhu An stood together, constantly being bombarded by new knowledge.
The ghost retorted, "No, those little ghosts were all eaten by the adults. I'm more powerful, you know, I can imitate people, so the adults kept me... and three other little ghosts as protectors."
Si Yan's lips twitched slightly. "It seems this ghost is quite ancient; the term 'protector' is really... old-fashioned."
It would take at least several hundred years.
This vengeful ghost, which has lived for hundreds of years, only comes out to hunt for food every ten years or so. It doesn't eat too much, which explains why it hasn't been discovered.
It might even mutate into a much larger form; if it's intelligent enough, it means it's troublesome.
Jiang Nuo continued to sway the ghost, saying to Si Yan, "The power that hurt you must have been absorbed by that vengeful ghost."
He suddenly stopped, grabbed the ghost's ear, and said, "You provide us with accurate information about the vengeful spirit."
I'll keep you alive.
"... Really!!"
The ghost nodded excitedly, chuckling, "Then can I become your appearance? You're so handsome, and so powerful... Aww!"
Si Yan threw a punch, "Dream on!"
Jiang Nuo eventually sealed the ghost back into the mirror fragment and solemnly entrusted it to his little admirer Ming Xu for safekeeping.
"You did a great job just now. This ghost is no longer a threat to you. Keep the fragment safe; it might hold another opportunity."
Ming Xu hearing the weighty responsibility entrusted to him by his idol, Akio's previous fear vanished, and he quickly took the broken pieces, afraid of dropping or bumping them.
"Don't worry God Nuo! I'm here, the mirror is here!"
"But God Nuo, what about Jin Jin?"
Ming Xu pointed to the mirror, which was now shattered on the floor.
Si Yan: "It's fake, a smokescreen."
"An ordinary person sucked into the mirror will die instantly."
"... Sigh."
Ming Xu sighed.
After all, it was a living, breathing human being.

The next day, the directing team, who were reviewing the footage from the previous night, fell silent.
The Mirror Ghost... the mass grave... the deceased Jin Jin.
And then there's Han Wenche and Qin Sicun, who mysteriously disappeared this morning!
This is terrible!! If those two big names don't come back, his acting career is basically over!
Most importantly! The live stream didn't stop last night! They only showed two or three shots.
Who knew they'd all be caught on camera, and now it's going viral online!
The production team, who had only ever filmed dating reality shows, had never seen anything like this.
The director, in a panic, knocked on Jiang Nuo's door.
" Jiang Nuo! Jiang Nuo! No... God Nuo!"
After calling out several times, someone finally opened the door.
Si Yan's eyes were unfriendly, his voice still hoarse from sleep, his broad shoulders blocking the doorway, "What's all the noise about?"
The director was startled by his gaze and stammered, "Everything that happened last night was captured on camera..."
"Yes, and also! Han Wenche and Qin Sicun disappeared early this morning."
Si Yan, eyes half-closed, leaned against the door, her voice languid, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Uh... we're still live streaming."
The assistant director offered a tactful reminder.
Si Yan glanced at the camera, raised her eyebrows slightly, and remained displeased.
"So?"
Assistant Director: "..."
He took a few steps back, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
[LOL, do you really think Si Yan would give you any face?]
Yesterday he was all talk and no action, but today he's like a mouse with its tail between its legs.
But someone has gone missing! Isn't Si Yan worried?
Damn production team!!
" Si Yan..."
Jiang Nuo's voice came from inside the room, as if she were searching for something.
Si Yan's cold and stern expression immediately softened. He turned and entered the room, quickly walking to the bedside and sitting down. " Nuonuo, I'm here."
"Um?"
Jiang Nuo opened her eyes groggily, "You're up so early?"
As she spoke, she reached into Si Yan's pajamas, unbuttoned them in one swift motion, stroked his abs, and then continued sleeping with her legs spread apart.
"Then call me when it's time for breakfast."
Si Yan slowly looked down at her open pajamas, then at the petrified director and cameraman, before quickly pulling her clothes tighter and crawling into bed.
Jiang Nuo thought he wanted to sleep more, so she hugged him tightly again and put one leg on Si Yan's waist.
" Nuonuo... you... raise your head and open your eyes." Si Yan's tone was hesitant.
"What? Is there a ghost again?"
Jiang Nuo opened one eye and looked towards the door.
The embarrassed director let out an awkward "ha."
Good morning...
Jiang Nuo: "..."
Wow, so many people this early in the morning!
That scared me to death!
Don't panic over small things.
Jiang Nuo coughed lightly and waved politely, "Good morning, please go out."
Very aloof and sophisticated.
The production team wanted to continue pleading, but the next second they heard Jiang Nuo say, "Anyone who doesn't leave in five seconds will be taken to feed the ghosts."
"543..."
Bang!
The gate closed.
