"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several gunshots rang out in quick succession in the neighborhood.

The sound was so loud that even Yang Jian, who was in the room, could hear it.

That's... a gunshot?

Yang Jian immediately frowned, then became wary.

How could gunshots suddenly occur in a perfectly good neighborhood?

"Could it be Zhang Wei testing a gun? No, this sound is wrong. The gunshots are too rapid; it doesn't sound like a test shot, but rather like a counterattack. It seems like someone is in danger."

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

Yang Jian suddenly saw that the black cloth covering the ghost mirror in the room suddenly bulged up, revealing the outline of a hand.

It was as if a hand had suddenly reached out from the ghost mirror.

"What's going on?" Yang Jian tensed up immediately.

The ghost mirror was fine for the past few days, so why is it suddenly acting up today?

Could it be related to the previous gunshots?

Or perhaps, some unseen balance within the mirror has been broken, and a ghost is about to emerge from it?

But before he could think further...

As the black cloth covering the mirror was pulled away by the hand, the ghost mirror reappeared before him.

In the mirror, a person exactly like Zhang Wei is reaching out his hand, his face showing a look of terror, struggling to get out of the mirror. As Zhang Wei reaches out, one after another, bluish, pale, and rotting hands reach out from all sides of the mirror, grabbing Zhang Wei's body and feet, and pulling him back into the mirror.

It seems the ghost in the mirror is unwilling to release Zhang Wei.

"This is different from before." Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged.

The ghost that looked exactly like Zhang Wei stood in the mirror before, but it didn't move for three days and didn't come out of the mirror on its own.

How come now?

"Brother Leg, help me!" Zhang Wei struggled to stick half his head out of the mirror, like a drowning person surfacing to call for help.

Soon, the hand in the mirror pulled Zhang Wei back into the mirror again.

This time, Zhang Wei had no strength to resist and was pulled further and further away.

"Could it be..." Yang Jian thought of what he had heard about the human skin paper earlier.

If the information revealed by the human skin paper is true, then Zhang Wei is now...

The next moment.

Yang Jian suddenly rushed to the Ghost Mirror, and the moment Zhang Wei's hand disappeared into it, he immediately reached in and grabbed Zhang Wei's arm.

The warmth of a living person emanated from his arm, and this touch confirmed that Zhang Wei was alive and not a ghost.

"Just as I thought."

Yang Jian suddenly exerted force, trying to pull Zhang Wei out.

However, countless hands behind Zhang Wei created endless resistance for him. Before he could pull himself out, this force pulled him against the mirror, dragging half of his body inside. He was instantly overwhelmed.

The power emanating from the mirror was not something a human should possess. If I hadn't been stuck outside the mirror, I would have been pulled into the ghost mirror in an instant.

"Trying to steal my person? Get out of my way, all of you." Yang Jian opened his Ghost Eye.

The red light seeped into the ghost mirror and then enveloped Zhang Wei.

They hope to rescue Zhang Wei using the same method they used to rescue their older cousin.

However.

When he tried to transfer, he failed.

On Zhang Wei's ankle, a bloody, skinless hand gripped him tightly. The Ghost Domain couldn't affect that hand; in fact, even the Ghost Domain felt somewhat restricted.

"What kind of thing is this? It can grab people even in the Ghost Domain?" Yang Jian was shocked.

He could influence the other hands, but that one hand was the only one he couldn't influence.

There's no other way. If one ghost's power isn't enough, then two ghosts should be enough, right?

The black ghostly figure beneath Yang Jian's feet disappeared into the ghost mirror.

This is a dangerous move.

Once the ghost is pulled in and obtains the body of a ghost, it's hard to say whether it will immediately retaliate after leaving the ghost mirror, since the warning from the human skin paper is still recorded in its mind.

But then the ghostly figure entered.

Yang Jian felt that the enormous pulling force had disappeared.

The hand that was gripping Zhang Wei's ankle seemed to have chosen to let go.

"Bang!"

Yang Jian leaned back, pulling Zhang Wei out of the ghost mirror.

"I was so scared! I was just taking a dump, and suddenly it was dark, and then I saw ghosts, and more than one!" Zhang Wei sat on the ground, still shaken, and looked around. "Where... where am I?"

"Brother Leg, is that really you? I thought I was seeing things, I didn't expect to see you here too."

At first, she was panicked, but when she saw Yang Jian, she was overjoyed.

Yang Jian ignored him and instead looked sharply into the mirror.

Zhang Wei's image in the mirror disappeared, as did the hands, and the object once again became a smooth mirror.

Zhang Wei, who was pulled out

"Are you really Zhang Wei?" Yang Jian was a little unsure. He looked him up and down with his Ghost Eye but didn't find anything unusual.

I touched his chest.

I could feel a heartbeat and body temperature.

Unbelievable.

It's unbelievable, how did Zhang Wei end up inside the ghost mirror?

"Why are you touching my chest?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Is that not allowed?"

Zhang Wei said, "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that it feels a bit too homoerotic. If someone saw us, they would definitely suspect that we're gay."

"Don't speak yet, let me sort this out first." Yang Jian picked up the human skin paper again.

At this moment, a sentence is displayed on the parchment:

"Zhang Wei died. Then he came back to life, resurrected from the Ghost Mirror. The information I received earlier was true. However, the resurrected Zhang Wei doesn't seem to remember what happened. His memory is frozen at the moment when he first saw the Ghost Mirror. The Ghost Mirror resurrected the Zhang Wei of that time, not the Zhang Wei of today. Is the past him and the present him really the same person? I don't know."

"As the price for resurrection, a ghost was released; I can't be sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

Yang Jian frowned deeply as he looked at the line of text.

It seems Zhang Wei's resurrection is true.

The paper effigy was absolutely right; it really can bring the dead back to life.

But there's one prerequisite: you must leave your own shadow on the ghost mirror.

Similar to. archive?

"Let's ignore that for now. Zhang Wei's death must be related to the gunshot earlier, which means something has happened in the neighborhood." Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and immediately put away the human skin paper.

Once a shot is fired, this matter becomes anything but ordinary.

He had a vague premonition that this was directed at him.

"Go downstairs and find a place to hide. It's dangerous here. Don't go out until I get back," Yang Jian. "Also, don't touch the mirror, and don't go into this room. Be careful not to get caught by the mirror again."

"No problem, Brother Leg." Zhang Wei nodded.

Yang Jian finished speaking and immediately left.

I recommend a book: <Revolution, Goddess>. It's a story about a revolution in a magical world, where you recruit witches and push goddesses, and you have hundreds of daughters. It's a very imaginative and hilarious book, highly recommended.
