Chapter Nineteen Unexpected

  Xiao Mo was greatly shocked in her heart, but she remained calm and nodded. Seeing Xiao Mo agree, Li Shuai released his hand and pulled Xiao Mo behind the sofa.

  The lights in the room were still on, looking no different from usual, without any ominous shadows. However, Xiao Mo's wildly racing heart was still raised high, and he was absolutely certain that he hadn't misseen the black shadow that had flashed by earlier, as evidenced by Li Shuai's actions.

  That ghost has arrived, and... it's in this very room!!!!!

  Xiao Mo was clear in his mind that the ghost was intentionally letting them see it, and the purpose was simply to scare them. According to Zhang Tianyi's words, these ghosts enjoyed the fear emotions that humans burst out when facing the unknown.

  Xiao Xiao looked towards the door and proposed to Li Shuai:

  "Since the ghost didn't kill us directly, it seems to be playing tricks on us. In that case, why don't we take this opportunity to escape?"

  "I've tried but it's useless, the door can't be opened at all. Besides, do you think it wouldn't have thought of this?"

  Li Shuai directly rejected Xiao Mo's proposal and then pointed to a corner saying:

  "That thing has hidden itself again, and probably only Zhang Tianyi can see it."

  Xiao Mu did not respond, because even if they could see the ghost, it would not solve any problem, and they had no way to fight against these ghosts. What they should think about now is how to escape from this room, and when the ghost will give them a fatal blow.

  Couldn't think of a better way, reluctantly, Xiao Mo had to make a call to Zhang Tianyi. Although this method was a bit awkward, at least it could let him know where the ghost was in the room and what it was doing at the moment.

  The phone was soon connected.

  "The ghost has found us, we are trapped in the room."

  "I already knew all of this."

  Xiao Mo frowned and glanced at Li Shuai beside him before continuing to speak on his phone:

  "Try knocking on the door from outside or ask the service staff in the hall to bring a spare key..."

  "It's useless, the door is definitely locked."

  Xiao Mo's face was filled with even deeper anger, and this time he glared at Li Shuai with a fierce gaze. Then he spoke to the phone again:

  "I now need to know the ghost's location and what it is doing."

  "Hello? Are you listening again? At least respond with a sentence!"

  After the other party answered the phone, it was just him talking from start to finish. Zhang Tianyi on the other end of the line didn't respond at all. Instead, Li Shuai kept asking questions like a madman.

  "Are you listening again? Respond!"

  The phone was silent for a long time, which made Xiao Mo's anger burst out. At the same time, Li Shuai, who had just been quiet for a while, became active again. He slowly turned his head and answered in a gloomy tone:

  "A ghost... is right beside you!!!"

  "Are you done yet? Is this a joke?"

  Liao's behavior made Xiao Mo unable to understand, just before he was fine, and even reminded him not to make a fuss, how could it be... wait, is this person really Liao?

  This thought made Xiao Mo's heart feel a chill, and his body involuntarily retreated several steps. The more he thought about the ghost having the ability to disguise itself as anyone, the more suspicious he became of Li Shuai's identity.

  Xiao Mo and "Li Shuai" pulled away from each other, then he tentatively spoke into the phone:

  "What is the ghost doing?"

  As he asked this, Xiao Mo's eyes stared unblinkingly at "Li Shuai", and saw his expression suddenly turn sinister, then filled with malice, he bellowed at him:

  "It's here to accompany you!!!!"

  "Ah——!"

  Xiao Mo's guess was not wrong, the Li Shuai standing in front of him was a ghost in disguise! Xiao Mo let out a cry of surprise and desperately ran towards the door, but when he reached the door, he was horrified to find that it couldn't be opened, just as it had told itself before, unable to escape!

  It followed Xiao Mo at a steady pace, and that familiar face was also undergoing strange changes, twisting, moving, swelling... finally transforming into a bloated woman with a rotten face!

  As if to match its appearance, the originally bright light also flickered at this time, black and white alternating with each other. The "heh heh" laughter from behind was getting closer.

  "Open the door! Is anyone there?"

  Xiao Mo desperately crashed into the door, but under the influence of the ghost, such efforts were clearly in vain. The thick door didn't budge! The footsteps of the Grim Reaper were getting closer and closer, Xiao Mo seemed to have even heard the sound of it pushing open the door, what to do? What to do?!

  Xiao Mo was despairingly screaming in his heart, when suddenly he thought of that mirror which had blocked the evil spirits for him in the Ghost Building, that mirror which had been following him like a shadow. This might be his last hope now, although this hope seemed to be extremely slim.

  Previously at Cheng Ziliang's home, Xiao Mo had already conducted an experiment with the mirror, aiming it at the bathroom where a ghost was present to see if it could absorb the ghost. However, this test ultimately failed as the mirror seemed to have no reaction. Therefore, when Lao Gao asked about it, Xiao Mo replied that the mirror was ineffective against ghosts.

  In fact, Xiao Mo didn't know whether the mirror had reflected the ghost that day or not. After all, the ghost had appeared in an invisible state that day, and only Zhang Tianyi could see it. So he was also uncertain whether the mirror really had no effect on the ghost.

  He can only treat a dead horse as if it were alive, and if he doesn't gamble, he won't even have a glimmer of hope for survival.

  The glimmer of hope that rose in his heart reinvigorated his weary legs, and he hurled the chair beside him at the ghost before dashing into the bathroom where he had placed a mirror.

  At this moment, the mirror, which was almost as tall as a person, flickered with a faint light. The light was like a ferocious hellhound, blinking its eyes that seemed to be about to spit fire, emitting an eerie and evil aura that didn't belong to the mortal world.

  The ghost was in no hurry to kill its prey, and continued to follow it at a leisurely pace, seemingly indifferent to the prey's search for a lifeline.

  Xiao Mo didn't let go of this opportunity, as soon as he came in, he carried the mirror to the front door, making the dim mirror face the entrance. It can be imagined that as long as the ghost rushes in, its shadow will be completely reflected in the mirror in an instant.

  At that time, everything will settle down, either the ghost is sucked into the mirror or he is brutally killed by the ghost.

  The heavy footsteps approached gradually, Xiao Mu was almost suffocated with tension, hoping it would come in but not wanting to. A few seconds later, the ghostly footsteps stopped, and Xiao Mu held her breath for a moment, as if the world had fallen into stillness.

  This stillness didn't last for long, as it was shattered by a loud crash. Xiao Mo stared blankly at the round mirror flying backwards in front of him, infinite fear spreading across his face.

  Mirrors are useless against ghosts!

  Xiao Mo had reached the critical point of collapse, and his mind was left with only a vast expanse of whiteness. The ghost's ugly appearance was constantly magnified in his pupils, and the scorching temperature inside him was rapidly draining away; he was about to die.

  "No!"

  The ghost's movement suddenly froze, a figure behind the ghost stretched infinitely, Xiao Muo's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to describe the shock this scene brought him.

  Li Shuai stood behind the ghost, one hand tightly grasping its neck!
