After Xiao Meng and the middle-aged man went upstairs, Li Shuai and the three others also temporarily put down their work and got up to return to their respective rooms.

  The middle-aged man's room was on the third floor, a very spacious room, but there was little decoration inside. He gestured for Xiao Mo to sit on the sofa, and he also brought over a chair and sat down.

  After sitting down, the middle-aged man asked Xiao Mo:

  "Take a closer look at me, have you really forgotten who I am?"

  Xiao Xiao slightly shook her head with a hint of confusion and replied slowly:

  "I'm very sorry, as I said before, I only remember that you once asked me about the haunted dormitory incident, and nothing else comes to mind."

  "Alas, that was already two years ago."

  The middle-aged man let out a light sigh and continued to ask:

  "Do you still remember how you escaped from that place? Even if it's just a tiny impression."

  "No impression at all."

  Xiao Mo replied helplessly, and then added:

  "Let's just say that in my memory, you and that person were asking me about the dorm ghost in the coffee shop one second before, but the next second I somehow appeared in Qingyuan City..."

  Xiao Mo hoped to get an answer from the middle-aged man, so he described his recent experiences in great detail, including his appearance in the remote Qingyuan City and the mirror that seemed to follow him like a shadow, even mentioning how he felt at the time.

  While listening, the middle-aged man's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his complexion didn't look very good either.

  "You said there is a mirror that has been following you like a shadow?"

  A middle-aged man asked hesitantly, Xiao Mo nodded and replied:

  "It's like this, it seems to have appeared with me in Qingyuan City, and then followed me relentlessly."

  "You came here, and the mirror followed too?"

  "That's right! It's just behind you!"

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately turned his head and saw a mirror almost as tall as a person standing quietly there.

  The middle-aged man had a strange look on his face, and then he got up and walked over. He came to the mirror, looked at it carefully from top to bottom, and then stretched out his hand to touch the crack on the surface of the mirror, and immediately knocked on it forcefully. After doing all this, he turned around and said to Xiao Mo:

  "I never knew you had another side of the mirror."

  As he said this, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, and his tone also became somewhat heavier:

  "This mirror is probably something you brought out from that place!"

  "What is this place you're talking about? At that time, was I the only one who went there? And why did I go?"

  The middle-aged man did not answer Xiao Mo directly, but instead asked another question:

  "Is there anything else strange about this mirror besides always following you?"

  "There is, in the mirror, another ghostly gate!"

  Xiao Mo recounted his series of encounters in K City, including the haunted building, Class 2B, and the evil spirit that turned into a flagpole. This time, he described them in great detail, but omitted the existence of the mysterious person, saying that he had gone to K City on impulse, and after the event ended, he came back here as if driven by his subconscious mind.

  The middle-aged man listened quietly until Xiao Mo finished speaking for a long time. He then asked excitedly:

  "You're saying this mirror sucked in that evil spirit?"

  "I don't dare to be certain, it's just a possibility. And even if the mirror can really absorb evil spirits, there will still be some damage to the mirror, and the cracks on the surface of the mirror are the best proof."

  The middle-aged man seemed to have not heard Xiao Mo's words, he smiled as if he had obtained a treasure, and kept sighing:

  "I never thought that there actually existed something in this world that could counter ghostly objects. With it, our chances of survival will increase."

  Xiao Mo had completely lost his patience and didn't want to listen to this middle-aged man's monologue anymore. His voice was somewhat sharp as he asked:

  "What's going on here? I want to know right now!"

  The middle-aged man withdrew his previous delight, nodded at Xiao Mo, and sat back in the chair.

  "We are a special group of people, or you could say we're an unfortunate bunch. We've all experienced paranormal events, perhaps curses, perhaps revenge from ghosts, or something else, in any case, we survived the paranormal events."

  It's precisely because we've managed to survive that our lives have become precarious from dawn till dusk."

  Xiao Mo still didn't quite understand, his expression serious as he asked:

  "Why is it that after surviving a supernatural event, life becomes precarious?"

  Because those things don't want anyone to know of their existence, everyone who knows about them becomes a target for elimination. However, this pursuit is not singular in nature; simply put, the thing that's after you isn't fixed or unchanging.

  "It may be a ghost, it may be an evil spirit, or perhaps it's a curse created by an evil entity, in any case we can't avoid them."

  This time Xiao Mo didn't interrupt, and the middle-aged man continued:

  Once the pursuer arrives, you will be drawn into a strange event, and of course, some people will also be unlucky like you. Either it's someone around you or other unfortunate souls.

  However, the pursuers will not directly kill people after arriving, but will torture them first and then choose to take action. For this reason, you once gave two guesses at that time. One is that the horror emotions produced by humans when facing the unknown are the nourishment of these ghostly objects, and they enjoy this atmosphere. The second is that there is a balance rule in the world, even if these ghostly objects cannot transcend the rules, so they temporarily slow down their pace of killing people.

  As for the truth or falsehood of these two guesses, let's not discuss it for now. In short, when we encounter them, they won't rush to kill us. But nor does it mean that we will live comfortably; we need to find a way to escape, otherwise we will be killed mercilessly."

  Upon hearing of a way to escape, Xiao Mu's heart relaxed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask:

  "Is there any way to escape?"

  The middle-aged man's mouth was dry and his tongue was parched. He didn't want to continue talking, but after hearing Xiao Mo ask, he continued:

  "The means of escape are not fixed and mainly depend on what kind of evil spirit is chasing."

  Generally speaking, vengeful spirits are people who died unjustly. Although they have a very heavy and evil aura, they still possess some sanity. If the pursuers are them, then all that is needed is to help them calm their resentment and eliminate the people who harmed them in life.

  The spirits, on the other hand, are a gathering of children's souls. Although they do not possess divine wisdom, their primary goal is not to kill. If the pursuer is a spirit, they will usually set up a game rule, allowing the pursuer to play games with them, and as long as they win, they can leave.

  As for evil spirits, they have little to do with humans and are more like a kind of creature that only knows how to kill. They are much stronger than ghosts and vengeful spirits. Not only can they create curses to kill people, but they can also take matters into their own hands and kill people themselves. The objects of the curse are not just limited to people or objects, but can be anything in this world.

  A sentence, a video tape, even a dream...

  "When facing an evil spirit, the safest way is to think of a way not to come into contact with the cursed object. If you really suffer from the curse, maybe you can only think of a way to destroy the cursed object."

  The cursed and terrifying Xiao Mu was known, just like the cursed Class 2B, but it's unknown whether the curse would have been lifted immediately if a fire had burned down the place at that time.

  Xiao Mo remained silent, quietly absorbing the terrible information. His mood had sunk to an all-time low. If this person wasn't lying, then his situation was indeed precarious, with no guarantee of survival from one day to the next.

  Xiao Meng's face looked too terrible, and the middle-aged man also pretended to smile and encouraged:

  "Things are actually not as bad as you imagined, in fact we have already found a way to completely eliminate all of this, which is also the motivation for us to keep going."

  Xiao Xiao's heart skipped a beat as he listened, and he hastily raised his head to ask:

  "What's the solution?"
