"Then what about Leng Yuchen? Will he appear again?"
Xia Xiaoyu was quite frightened and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
"He shouldn't. Last night, a corpse chaser went after him!" Zifeng shook his head and said casually.
"Another ability user?"
Xu Qian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
"I fought him; he's a very strong guy!"
Zifeng didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he turned to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "I called both of you here because today we need to unravel all the mysteries. At the very least, we can't let that thing survive until tomorrow!"
Zifeng knew they couldn't wait until tomorrow because today was the half moon, and tomorrow would be the full moon. Although he didn't know how strong the vengeful spirit Cheng Sha would be, he had heard quite a bit about the legend of Fierce Wolf being unearthed and Tengu Devouring the Sun.
Evil Sun, the day when the gates of hell are said to open, is also Fu San's most sinister day.
"Why?"
Both Xia Xiaoyu and Xu Qian looked at Zifeng in confusion.
"There's no reason!" Zifeng said decisively, knowing that even if he explained, they wouldn't understand.
"What do you think we should do?"
Xia Xiaoyu realized that this wasn't the time for arguments, and she could see the heaviness on Zifeng's face. He must have encountered a significant problem.
"She always hides in the shadows and refuses to come out. As soon as she senses me, she disappears immediately. This can't go on; if she won't show herself, I'll never find the answer! So, I need you to help me with something!"
Zifeng looked seriously at Xia Xiaoyu. His tone was firm, but he didn't seem entirely confident.
"What should I do?"
Xia Xiaoyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat; she had an inexplicable premonition—an unexplainable feeling.
"After multiple investigations, I've gathered some information. That entity is a parasitic being; it doesn't stay visible for long because its true form is inside the Mirror. However, it moves too quickly; even I can't fully grasp how to catch her. She can move between reflective surfaces. If two Mirrors are placed in a room where they can face each other, she can instantly shift from one to the other. It's not just Mirrors; any reflective object allows her to move. She's too fast. Although she found you for reasons unknown, she wouldn't attach herself to you without cause. So, I need you to lure her out. Only then will I have a chance to catch her."
This time, Zifeng's gaze turned toward Xia Xiaoyu, but he seemed to avoid her eyes.
"Be honest with me; how confident are you?"
Xia Xiaoyu felt a weight in her heart and paused before asking, but her expression was not good.
"Fifty percent!" Zifeng said with a hint of bitterness on his face. "I faced her last time, but she's too fast. I've been wandering around the University these past few days, but she's very cautious and hides at the slightest movement!"
"No, this is too risky!" Xu Qian's expression darkened, and then he suddenly said, "If Xia Xiaoyu goes to lure them, she might get hurt before you even show up. No, this plan is too dangerous!"
"Now is not the time to talk about danger!" Zifeng replied to Xu Qian.
"A Feng, are you really going to just watch Xia Xiaoyu take this risk? What if she..."
"Alright, stop arguing!" Xia Xiaoyu suddenly raised her voice and said, "You two handsome guys are fighting over me, why?"
"Xiao Qian, this trouble was originally mine to deal with. Thank you for always being there for me. I'm really glad to have a friend like you. However, some things must be faced; you can't hide from them. Besides, there's still a fifty percent chance of success. I've encountered so many terrifying things already; what's one more?"
Xia Xiaoyu's face was filled with bitterness. Although she spoke lightly, the tension in her body betrayed her. She took a deep breath and then looked firmly at Zifeng, speaking in a very serious tone, "Tell me what to do!"
"Tonight at midnight, in a separate room, place a mirror inside. It should be a closed room with no windows; otherwise, even if she appears, she could escape through the window glass!"
Zifeng paused for a moment before speaking to Xia Xiaoyu.
