Successful Rescue

Is this what the ghost truly looked like?

Or is this just one of the ghost's forms? It clearly looked like Shangguan Yun before.

This is a ghost that can change its appearance at will.

But no matter how it's changed, the person in the mirror is undoubtedly a ghost.

"Sure enough, this ghost was following Zhang Wei from the beginning. But how did he survive after playing around in front of the mirror all night? Could it be because he slapped his own face until it was swollen?" Yang Jian wondered to himself.

But as the person in the mirror slowly approached from afar, it was suddenly discovered that the person in the mirror had begun to change.

Its appearance gradually began to resemble Miao Xiaoshan's, and its clothes and attire also changed accordingly.

I haven't even gotten to the mirror yet.

The ghost in the mirror, who looked exactly like Zhang Wei, had completely transformed into Miao Xiaoshan, petite and somewhat cute, with no trace of her former self.

The only difference between him and a normal person is his complexion.

His bloodless, pale face and eyes devoid of any human emotion made him look nothing like a normal person, but rather like an emotionless puppet.

"Yang Jian ~!"

Miao Xiaoshan was so shocked by what she saw that she couldn't speak. She turned around and looked at him with a terrified expression.

The ghost in the mirror had become her own image.

And as she slowly walked towards him, her reflection in the mirror overlapped with his.

"You maintain this state, leave the rest to me," Yang Jian said solemnly.

"Okay, okay." She stammered as she spoke, her fingers trembling as she continued writing on the glass.

I almost dare not open my eyes to look at myself in the mirror anymore.

"Cousin, please don't move around. Everything will be alright. We have to trust Yang Jian; he'll have a way." Miao Xiaoshan continued to comfort Shangguan Yun.

She can run away at any time if there is any danger outside the mirror.

But Shangguan Yun was different; he was trapped inside the mirror, and the ghost was right next to him, getting closer and closer.

It's less than two meters long now.

Shangguan Yun trembled all over. No matter how panicked he was, he should have noticed that something was wrong with his surroundings.

A footstep suddenly sounded behind me.

The sound came from the toilet door, gradually approaching and heading this way.

The clear sound of footsteps echoed in the eerily silent toilet, instantly making his hair stand on end. His blood seemed to freeze, and an immense fear surged into his heart, almost overwhelming his reason.

Cold sweat poured down my face.

Curiosity and bodily instincts compelled him to subconsciously turn around and look.

"Cousin, don't turn around, don't look, close your eyes," Miao Xiaoshan hurriedly wrote in a panic.

She didn't want Shangguan Yun to see this scene.

Knowing that a ghost is right beside you can break even the most resilient person.

However, the words on the mirror did nothing to quell Shangguan Yun's curiosity.

He did manage to turn around and look at it once.

Shangguan Yun saw someone who should never have appeared before him. That person was his cousin, Miao Xiaoshan.

The presence of familiar faces did not bring him any comfort; on the contrary, his eyes were filled with disbelief and terror.

My cousin was clearly outside the mirror, how could she possibly be here?

If the cousin outside is real, then who is this one in front of me?

Almost instinctively, the word "ghost" popped into his mind.

This cousin who suddenly walked in from outside the toilet might not be human at all, but just a ghost that looks exactly like her.

Realizing this, Shangguan Yun screamed and fled frantically.

He wanted to get away from his cousin.

But the toilet is only so big, where could he possibly run to?

In the end, he could only lean against the wall, crying out in terror, his mind on the verge of collapse.

No matter how much he broke down and screamed, Yang Jian, who was outside the mirror, couldn't hear any of it.

"Forget about your cousin. He's not dead now. That ghost's target isn't your cousin, it's you now," Yang Jian. "Keep writing on the mirror, anything you want. This ghost was attracted by you, and now that it looks like you, its target is definitely you."

"This is an opportunity. If you're scared and want to give up, it's not too late."

Although Miao Xiaoshan was scared, she knew that if she gave up, her cousin would never be able to come out of the mirror again.

"I... I'll try my best."

She bit her lip tightly, suppressing her fear, and continued writing and drawing on the mirror, though she didn't know what she was writing.

Soon.

The ghost in the mirror came to Miao Xiaoshan.

They have the same height, the same build, and the same appearance.

It gradually matched the image in Miao Xiaoshan's mirror.

They are exactly the same.

The ghost became Miao Xiaoshan in the mirror.

The only difference was their expressions; Miao Xiaoshan was tense and fearful, while the woman in the mirror was calm, indifferent, and devoid of any emotion.

And she stood there motionless in the mirror, while Miao Xiaoshan kept gesturing to herself in the mirror.

"The ghost's appearance has changed to Miao Xiaoshan's. The remaining secret is how it replaced Miao Xiaoshan and came out of the mirror, and how Miao Xiaoshan entered the mirror in the first place." Yang Jian stared intently at the ghost's every move in the mirror.

There's no need to pay attention to other areas anymore.

The only thing to watch out for is the behavior of the ghost in front of you.

Suddenly.

The ghost in the mirror moved.

She also bit her lip, just like Miao Xiaoshan, and raised her slender fingers to draw strokes on the mirror.

However, her movements were slow and somewhat stiff. Although they were in sync with Miao Xiaoshan's movements, there seemed to be a delay. Miao Xiaoshan had already written a horizontal line when the genius in the mirror had just started writing.

"It's completely imitating Miao Xiaoshan's every move, striving to be exactly the same?" Yang Jian noticed this.

The ghost in the mirror imitates very quickly.

Before, I couldn't keep up with Miao Xiaoshan's movements, but now, I'm almost on par with her.

As soon as Miao Xiaoshan raised her hand, the ghost in the mirror followed suit.

She moved her lips, and the ghost in the mirror moved its lips too.

There was still a delay of less than a second, so they didn't completely overlap, but they were already almost identical to her shadow.

"Once this ghost mimics the movements of the person in front of the mirror with astonishing precision, does that mean the ghost inside the mirror will come out, and the person outside will go in?" Yang Jian vaguely sensed this crucial point.

We dare not let Miao Xiaoshan take any more risks.

The Ghost Eye on his forehead opened instantly.

A red light enveloped the entire toilet.

Without Miao Xiaoshan noticing anything, Yang Jian forcibly led her into his Ghost Domain.

Yang Jian attempted to envelop the Ghost Domain within the mirror.

It failed.

He could cover the entire mirror with the Ghost Domain, but he couldn't penetrate Ghost Domain.

"This ghost is very special," was the only conclusion Yang Jian could draw.

If the Ghost Domain is a special space formed by vengeful ghosts, then the ghosts in this mirror can also form a space belonging to the mirror itself.

They do not affect each other, and are even unable to interfere with each other.

It's like drawing a circle on both sides of a blank sheet of paper.

Although they're all on paper, you'll never actually touch them.

"However, if this ghost can somehow get out of the mirror, then the moment it comes out, my Ghost Domain can enter the mirror, even if it's just for a moment, that would be enough for me." Yang Jian calmly waited for that moment.

In the blink of an eye, his Ghost Domain could bring Shangguan Yun out of it.

Suddenly.

At this very moment.

The ghost in the mirror moved in unison with Miao Xiaoshan.

It was as if the ghost had completely vanished, leaving only an image in the mirror, indistinguishable from the real thing.

And in that instant...

Yang Jian felt a strange pulling force appear in his Ghost Domain.

A distortion appeared somewhere in front of the mirror.

The red light seemed to be sucked into the mirror, and Miao Xiaoshan from the Ghost Domain was also about to enter the mirror.

But the ghost in the mirror is about to emerge and take Miao Xiaoshan's place.

Once the positions are successfully switched, the previous situation will repeat itself. Miao Xiaoshan will suffer the same fate as her cousin, entering the mirror, while the ghost will replace him in reality.

"Now."

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed, and Miao Xiaoshan in the Ghost Domain immediately disappeared from her original spot, then appeared behind him, temporarily protecting her to prevent the ghost from succeeding.

The thing that replaced Miao Xiaoshan's spot was just a door panel in the toilet.

The next moment.

The door panel, which had been standing in front of the mirror, vanished instantly, disappearing into the mirror in a flash. But Miao Xiaoshan inside the mirror, also disappeared.

However, it did not appear in front of Yang Jian.

It mysteriously disappeared.

Because Miao Xiaoshan did not disappear into the mirror, the ghost did not successfully replace Miao Xiaoshan. It has no identity, so it still exists but is invisible.

Meanwhile, Yang Jian's Ghost Domain extended into the mirror from the opposing positions.

Your guess was correct.

The moment the ghost appeared, the passage into the mirror space opened.

Shangguan Yun, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown from fright, was now enveloped in red light.

It only lasted a moment.

He disappeared from the mirror, but reappeared in the real toilet.

It was a success.

Yang Jian was overjoyed upon seeing this.

The speculation is correct.

"Leave here."

Now that the person has been rescued, Yang Jian has no need to stay here any longer.

A flash of red light.

The three of them disappeared together at the karaoke bar.

He didn't greedily try to imprison the ghost, but instead knew when to quit while he was ahead and prioritized safety. After all, he no longer needed to risk his life to catch ghosts for money, and even if he wanted to, he didn't have a golden container to imprison it.

However, to be on the safe side...

He distanced Ghost Domain from this place as much as possible, completely freeing himself from the ghost's entanglement.
