Chapter 1150 The Returnee's Notes 224

Could it be that the ghost can't come out? Can it only attach itself to certain objects?

As if he had thought of something, Xie Ning put away the compass in his hand. "If it really is one of those ghosts that can only attach themselves to objects, then it will be very difficult to find its trace with a compass."

Just as a person's scent will linger in the air after wearing perfume, a compass captures this scent to determine the presence and direction of ghosts.

Because such an aura will cause a slight change in the magnetic field of that area.

If it's not just an aura, but a real ghost, then the changes in the magnetic field will be even stronger. If the ghost possesses an object, there will be a certain degree of isolation. In addition, due to the characteristics of the ghost itself, it is sometimes difficult for a compass to detect it.

Fortunately, she has a special incense that allows her to identify the direction of the smoke.

Two people have already met with misfortune here; it's impossible that there isn't a trace of ghosts.

Ouyang Lin agreed with Xie Ning's idea. The guard moved his feet a little scared and leaned against the glass. The sun was shining and felt warm on him.

This eased his fear and dread somewhat.

The guard stared intently at Xie Ning as he lit incense and cast a spell, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. Then he saw the white smoke rise straight up and then drift toward him as if blown by the wind.

Huh? Him?

The guard didn't react at first, and it took him a while to remember what Xie Ning and Ouyang Lin had just discussed. His body stiffened instantly, and his head mechanically looked left and right, as if afraid that a ghost would jump out from somewhere.

He wanted to move, but his frightened feet wouldn't obey him.

Xie Ning noticed the guard's fear and comforted him, "It's alright, there's nothing here, at most there are just some traces of its existence."

The traces were simply well hidden.

Guard: ...I wasn't comforted.

Xie Ning walked to the guard's side. She stood in the shadows, and her gaze fell on the glass in front of her, where her face was reflected, looking perfectly normal.

"Is it glass?" Ouyang Lin frowned.

Wasn't it on the ground before?

Xie Ning saw her reflection in the glass and the smooth floor, and had a vague guess.

"Do you think this could be a mirror spirit?"

"Mirror Spirit?"

Mirror spirits are similar to Ouija boards, except that they are usually hidden in mirrors or other reflective objects. They cannot be seen with the naked eye, and Xie Ning cannot see them either. He can only see their faces in the reflections of reflective mirrors.

However, this is also a kind of spirit summoning game. If a mirror spirit appears, it must be because the two girls or the people around them played a spirit summoning game and then attracted the mirror spirit.

I just don't know which situation it is.

Hearing Xie Ning and the other girl's guesses, Professor Yan was still a little confused, but she grasped the key point: one of the girls involved was dead and the other was insane, and if you wanted to know whether they had played the summoning game, you could ask their roommates.

After all, their school has a boarding system, and apart from some students preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, very few students live off-campus, let alone the two who died, who were freshmen.

"Then let's go."

Just as the group was about to leave, they heard a small explosion, accompanied by the faint sound of glass shattering.

"Lili?"

Xie Ning and Ouyang Lin exchanged a glance and quickly ran towards the bathroom.

——

Just as Huang Lili stepped out of the large classroom, she noticed that the restroom was at the other end of the corridor, so she quickened her pace and ran towards it. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a girl right at the restroom door.

"Ouch."

Huang Lili quickly helped the person up, then rubbed her own shoulder, "Are you alright?"

It's also her own fault; she was in such a hurry that she didn't see the road.

The girl shook her head, her face deathly pale. She squatted down to pick up the fallen mirror and hurriedly ran away.

Huang Lili was completely baffled. Was she that fierce? The girl looked like she had seen a ghost.

However, she didn't have time to think too much about it; dealing with this important life event was the priority.

Just after Huang Lili entered the bathroom and closed the door, the mirror above the sink began to distort little by little, and then reflected a face-covered figure in white with long hair.

She stood there quietly, gradually transforming into Huang Lili's appearance.
