Horror Chapter
As Li Lin and the others burst into the house, they found only Jiang Liu staring blankly at the mirror, while the original occupant, Li Jing, was nowhere to be seen. They searched every corner but couldn't find her. Anxiously, Li Lin asked Jiang Liu, "Where's Li Jing? How did you end up in her room? Tell me!"
Snapping back to reality, Jiang Liu looked at Li Lin's somewhat ferocious face and pointed at the mirror with a hoarse voice, "She should be in the mirror!"
"What!" The White-Collar Man suddenly shouted. Perhaps emboldened by the presence of others and knowing that ghosts wouldn't appear at such a moment, he pointed angrily at the mirror and exclaimed, "Damn it! I knew I was right; the ghost is in the mirror! We should have smashed this mirror long ago!"
"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I swear I'll tear you apart!" Seeing yet another person mysteriously vanish, the anger that had been building up inside Li Lin could no longer be contained as he yelled at the White-Collar Man.
The White-Collar Man saw Li Lin's fierce expression, resembling a terrifying beast ready to pounce. He realized that if he dared to say another word, Li Lin might actually tear him apart. Terrified, he lowered his head and stood quietly in place.
Xu Qian noticed Li Lin's outburst and tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to calm down. After venting his anger, Li Lin felt he had gone too far and made an effort to suppress his rage as he said to the White-Collar Man, "I'm sorry; I lost control of my temper just now."
Upon hearing Li Lin's apology, the White-Collar Man quickly waved his hand dismissively, indicating it was not a big deal and that they needed to focus on the matter at hand. After apologizing, Li Lin turned back to Jiang Liu and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
"It's complicated; I don't even know how to explain," Jiang Liu said as he approached the mirror and touched its smooth surface. "If I'm not mistaken, Li Jing is likely dead—dead inside the mirror."
"You saw her body?"
"Yes, I saw it in the mirror," Jiang Liu nodded.
"Clearly, how did you see it?" Li Lin felt as if he had grasped a clue and urgently asked, "Did you see it from outside the mirror or inside?"
"Inside the mirror." Withdrawing his hand, Jiang Liu took a few steps back and looked at Li Lin beside him. "If you hadn't shown up in time, I think I might have died too!"
"You mean, you also entered the mirror and saw Li Jing's body?" Li Lin confirmed to Jiang Liu with a brow. "Yeah" Jiang Liu nodded. "Then how did you get out?" Xu Qian expressed his doubts. "I don't know." Jiang Liu shook his head and continued: "Before you came, there was darkness in front of me and I couldn't see anything at all. Until I heard your knock on the door, I stood still and waited for you. , but when you came in, I felt someone push me from behind. I staggered a few steps forward, and when I could see, I found myself standing in front of the mirror, and then I saw you. " "I guess it was the ghost that released me, because it had many opportunities to kill me in the mirror, but it never did, and in the end it pushed me out of the mirror." Others were confused when they heard Jiang Liu's words What's going on! The ghost didn't kill him, but gave him a push at the last moment and helped him get out of the mirror. Did the ghost fall in love with him? Or is the ghost related to him? As an old man who has experienced many supernatural events and survived successfully, Li Lin has always believed that ghosts have an undying relationship with Escapers like them. He has never heard anyone say that ghosts will let go of any participant. , let alone such ridiculous words. But when he saw the confused expression on JiangLiu's face, he hesitated. JiangLiu is a newcomer he is very optimistic about, and he believes that JiangLiu will not hide anything in this situation. If what Jiang Liu said is true, then the difficulty of this supernatural incident can be completely different from what he has experienced before. Thinking of this, Li Lin's face became very ugly. If things are really what he thinks, then Li Lin can be sure that their group will likely suffer heavy casualties, and there is even the possibility of the group being wiped out. Although the mortality rate of this type of paranormal incident is inherently high, there is still a glimmer of hope in general. In a previous group supernatural event, Li Lin heard a friend mention it. In addition to the basic survival-type supernatural events in EdgeWorld, there is actually another kind of supernatural event that makes everyone feel desperate. And none of the Escapers, whether old or young and promising, survived that kind of supernatural event, so no one knows about this supernatural event. In the end, it was called an unexplainable supernatural incident by some senior personnel, and privately called a group-killing supernatural incident. I don’t know why now, Li Lin suddenly remembered such a thing. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this supernatural event was very similar to the unexplainable supernatural event. Although he didn't know what the unexplainable supernatural event was like, it did not affect him in linking the two. Xu Qian on the side saw that Li Lin's face was a little pale, and he quickly asked with concern: "What's wrong? What did you think of that scared you like this?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that this supernatural event is a bit different from the past," Li Lin said, perhaps due to the presence of a few outsiders, he did not tell Xu Qian about the unresolved supernatural incident.
Xu Qian, who knew Li Lin well, could sense that he was hiding something from his words. Understanding that some things couldn't be shared with newcomers, he chose not to press further.
At that moment, Lin Mao'er spoke up, "What should we do now? Time is running out."
Everyone looked up and realized that over twenty minutes had passed without them noticing; their time outside was almost up.
"Everyone should head back to your rooms for now. If anything comes up, we can discuss it later," Li Lin said. He then turned to Jiang Liu, who seemed lost in thought. "Jiang Liu, don't worry. Since the ghost didn't kill you right away, it means you're not in any immediate danger tonight. Just go back and rest well. We can talk about what happened tomorrow."
Retracting his gaze, Jiang Liu nodded. They all had no choice but to return to their respective rooms. As Li Lin walked out of Room 107, he glanced back at what Jiang Liu had been looking at earlier.
It looked familiar; judging by the color of the remains, it resembled my lighter.
Not thinking much of it, he closed the door behind him.
Stepping out of the room, Room 107 once again fell into silence.
Back in his bedroom, Jiang Liu lay down on the bed in exhaustion. After experiencing bloody scenes and eerie darkness, his mind was already stretched to its limits. Now that he had returned to a safe world, his spirit relaxed, and he felt drowsiness wash over him like a tsunami, pulling him under.
