The mirror monster had Chen Ge in a chokehold, and the murderer was inching toward him with a sharp knife. Chen Ge had no time to hesitate. When he saw Zhang Ya’s page, he reached out to type two words—Help me!

The weird laugh in his mind grew louder. Zhang Peng’s knife came at him before Chen Ge had the time to key in anything else. He turned around and grabbed anything from the cupboard that he could get his hands on to throw at Zhang Peng.

His limbs were failing him, and the veins in Chen Ge’s neck were protruding. Even without the stab from Zhang Peng, he would be strangled by the mirror monster. Chen Ge clawed violently at his neck, but he caught no purchase—it was as if there was nothing there. Chen Ge placed his last hope on the black phone.

He turned his head to look at the phone on the ground and saw that there was a line of blood red letters on screen. “She has understood your demand, so please accept the content of the first agreement.”

It appeared like the demand went both ways. While Chen Ge asked something of Zhang Ya, she would also ask something of Chen Ge, and Chen Ge’s order would only be carried out once the agreement had been reached.

At a time like this, no matter how ridiculous the content of Zhang Ya’s agreement was, Chen Ge would agree unhesitatingly. Inching his finger forward, Chen Ge pressed the “yes” button on screen.

The moment his finger touched the screen, the temperature of the small room dropped tremendously as cold drafts blew into the room from all corners. The weird laugh in Chen Ge’s head stopped immediately. He could feel the monster on his back shiver; it could also feel fear.

The sound of dripping suddenly appeared in the room like something was leaking. The mirror monster on Chen Ge’s back released its hold on Chen Ge and escaped back into Zhang Peng’s body.

The maintenance room became eerily quiet. Even Zhang Peng knew something was wrong. This gambler who had nothing to lose did not choose to retreat at the last moment but raise the knife to charge at Chen Ge.

However, he only took the first step when the expression on his face changed. The mirror monster had forcibly taken over his body, making him leave. The man and the ghost were quarrelling, forcing them into inaction. While that was happening, Chen Ge’s shadow slowly stood up, and a bloody dress appeared behind Chen Ge.

Zhang Ya had probably left quite a heavy trauma on both the man and the ghost at Western Jiujiang’s Private Academy because when they saw the Red Specter behind Chen Ge, a consensus was made, and the man turned to run.

Without the constriction from the mirror monster, Chen Ge was released from the lock. He had almost been killed by Zhang Peng, and he was still reeling with anger, so naturally, he wouldn’t let them escape so easily.

He just stood up with the iron hammer when the Red Specter made her move. Zhang Ya seemed to have a fetish for cruel kills because even without the order from Chen Ge, needle-like black hairs shot into Zhang Peng’s body.

The murderer’s footsteps slowed. Naturally, Chen Ge would not give up on this perfect opportunity. He swung the iron hammer on Zhang Ge’s shoulder. The impact caused the man to fall forward. Making use of this opportunity, Chen Ge aimed yet another strike at Zhang Peng’s upper calf.

An ear-splitting shriek escaped from the maintenance room. The mirror monster inside Zhang Peng knew that the man was cornered, so it decided to abandon Zhang Peng and flew toward the toilet.

“Not good, there’s a mirror inside the first-floor toilet!”

Before Chen Ge realized what had happened, Zhang Ya started to chase after the mirror monster. This shadow creature seemed to be highly interesting to her.

I have to figure out a way to block the mirror.

Chen Ge looked around him and spotted the half-full vat of fake blood left in the maintenance room. The toilet’s door creaked in the wind. When Chen Ge arrived, he saw that half of the mirror body had already been punctured by Zhang Ya’s hair, but it was just inches away from the mirror.
