Yang Jian had become certain that the ghost had been following Zhang Wei right from the start.
Wherever he appeared, the ghost would also appear.
Earlier on the road, Yang Jian had already seen it; he could even be sure that the ghost was sitting right there in the car.
Now, Yang Jian and Zhang Wei had entered the villa.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the ghost should have followed them inside as well.
However, this ghost was invisible to the naked eye and could only be seen with the help of a mirror—of course, other reflective objects could also make it visible.
“You need to understand that there’s a ghost right beside you at this moment,” Yang Jian said earnestly, “Even though it poses no threat to you for now, it’s quite dangerous for it to keep following you, since I can’t be certain that the ghost will always remain in this state.”
“Once the ghost’s state changes, it might become extremely terrifying.”
Ghosts do not always remain in the same state; some ghosts constantly change—sometimes they are harmless, and at other times, they are exceedingly dreadful.
“Everything looks normal at home, could it be that you’ve made a mistake, Brother Tui?” As Zhang Wei looked at the mirror before him, he felt it hot to the touch,
and dared not to take it.
“That’s why under uncertain circumstances, it’s best to see for yourself,” said Yang Jian, “That way, in the future, you can take precautions.”
Zhang Wei glanced at the empty living room.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
No matter how he looked, he couldn’t see any hint of a ghost, but Yang Jian’s words forced him to confront a fact.
“Then… I’ll just take a look,” Zhang Wei picked up the makeup mirror and glanced at his own face.
“See, there’s nothing. No ghost at all,”
he quickly set the mirror back down.
Yang Jian said, “Try turning around, who said the ghost must stand behind you?”
“Turn around, then,” Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, picked up the mirror again, and looked at himself, then rotated the mirror left and right, reflecting the surroundings of his home in the mirror.
“Still nothing, there’s no ghost behind in the dining area, not by the study there, nor by the kitchen’s location…”
But when his mirror swung to the couch nearby, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart stopped beating in an instant.
A person was standing behind the couch.
That person wore dirty work clothes, stood rigid, with a deathly pale, bloodless complexion, eyes numb and vacant. As Zhang Wei looked at it through the mirror, the figure also turned its head slightly and saw Zhang Wei.
“Damn!”
Zhang Wei was startled, shuddering all over, and the makeup mirror in his hand flew out, smashing to pieces on the floor.
“Did you see it? Where’s the ghost?” Yang Jian asked calmly, seated unflinching by the side.
“It’s, it’s standing behind that couch,” Zhang Wei said, shivering as he pointed to a solitary couch nearby.
Yang Jian glanced over, and there was no one there.
This was normal.
The ghost could only be seen through a glass, invisible to the naked eye, and even his ghostly sight was no different; this ghost existed within the mirror and, for now, could not interfere with reality.
“See, I guessed right, didn’t I? It came over, and it has been with you since the class reunion,” said Yang Jian.
“Then, what do we do now?” Zhang Wei asked.
Yang Jian replied, “We need to find the source. This Mirror Ghost is following you for a reason, but I’m not aware of what that reason is. That’s why I had to come here. The first paranormal event you encountered was at your home, so I speculate that the source may be here. Think about it, has anything unusual happened at home?”
“From what I’ve experienced so far, the chances of a ghost appearing out of thin air in your home should be slim, of course, but we shouldn’t rule out the possibility completely.”
“Just now, I was so scared that I almost pissed myself—let me calm down a bit,” said Zhang Wei.
Yang Jian said, “Then calm down a bit, no need to be too scared, it has at least been following you for a couple of weeks now. I have to say, you’re quite lucky, that ghost hasn’t found the chance to strike yet; of course, that also has to do with your living environment.”
This high-end residential area had a very low population density.
The villas were very far apart from each other.
Under these circumstances, the ghost rarely had the opportunity to strike.
However, starting from the class reunion, when Shangguan Yun was attacked, and one of the staff members under Captain Liu, Zhang Yuan, was assaulted, it was evident that once they entered an environment with more people, the ghost had a much higher chance of succeeding.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, at that moment, Yang Jian looked up toward the second floor.
“Wasn’t the villa sealed off? There should only be the two of us here, but I just thought I heard some noise coming from upstairs.”
“No way, could there be something that frightening happening?” Zhang Wei shuddered again.
“Shh! Don’t talk, just listen carefully.”
They both kept quiet.
Indeed.
There was a disturbance coming from the direction of the second floor, but the sound was soft and indistinct.
It was like someone talking, or perhaps the sound of someone struggling in pain.
“There is really some noise, let’s go have a look,” Yang Jian said.
“Go up there and look? Curiosity could kill you, why not just call the police? Or should I set a fire and burn this haunted house down? See if I can burn the ghost here to death.” Zhang Wei said, not the least bit distressed about his multimillion-dollar villa.
Yang Jian said, “It’s best not to act recklessly without understanding the situation. I’ll go up and see what’s happening. If there really is another ghost, we’ll leave immediately. Also, ghosts can’t be burned to death, so don’t do anything stupid.”
He now had some confidence when dealing with fierce ghosts.
He had prolonged the revival time of a fierce ghost, controlled two of them, and had several experiences dealing with such entities.
He no longer felt as fearful of paranormal events.
“I’ll go with you,” Zhang Wei said.
“That’s fine, following me is indeed safer, especially since there is also a ghost on the first floor of your house,” Yang Jian didn’t refuse.
The two quickly went upstairs, following the noise until they stopped outside a room.
The commotion was coming from inside this room.
“To hell with it, Brother Tui is here, whatever ghost thing you are, get the fuck out now.”
Before Yang Jian could investigate, Zhang Wei suddenly exploded, kicking the door open with a fierce kick.
Inside the room.
The curtains were drawn, making it somewhat dim.
But it was still possible to see, on the floor of the room, a middle-aged man lying naked on the ground, crawling forward, with a mature woman in her mid-thirties sitting on him, wielding a leather whip…
At the moment the door was kicked open, the two people in the room were startled and immediately turned their heads to look.
For a time, the four people stared at each other.
The scene froze for a moment.
“Dad? Auntie Huang, what are you doing?” After a good while, Zhang Wei finally widened his eyes and asked.
“Seems we’ve accidentally stumbled upon something quite scandalous,” Yang Jian said, turning his head away, unable to bear looking.
