The fat man's situation was so unusual that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought he was a dead man with no sign of life in his body.

"What's wrong, sir? Is there something wrong with my health?"

The fat man saw my expression and hurriedly asked.

My posture just now was like that of an old Chinese medicine doctor, confirming his diagnosis.

"As I just said, your pulse is very strong, even stronger than a normal person's, and you are in very good health!"

But there's no life in you! Not a trace of vitality; that's what happens when you're dead!

I didn't hide anything from the fat man and spoke frankly.

"What! There's no life in his body? How is that possible!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the older woman looked shocked. Her husband did this kind of work, so he knew a little about it.

"So, I should be a dead person physically right now, but why am I still alive?"

The fat man could barely speak properly now; he must be terrified.

"I don't know. Maybe I misjudged, or maybe there's something on you that I haven't noticed!"

I shook my head, my eyes fixed on the fat man.

From the fat man's eyes, I could tell that he wasn't lying; that fear wasn't feigned.

Perhaps the fat man himself doesn't fully understand his own condition; only this explanation makes sense.

"Alright, take this talisman. Whenever you feel unwell, stick it here!"

I pointed to the fat man's Zhaohai acupoint.

"good!"

The fat man clenched the talisman tightly and nodded vigorously, as if he had made a momentous decision.

"Now that we're ready, let's go in!"

Seeing that the fat man had made his decision, I stepped forward and carefully pushed open the door.

The older woman held me tightly, with the fat man following closely behind.

The moment I pushed open the door, a gust of evil wind rushed in and kept washing over me.

My hair stood on end; it was a kind of psychological pressure.

I could clearly see that the old woman and the fat man's expressions were twitching at that moment.

The two were screaming hysterically, as if they had seen something terrifying.

If I don't act quickly, those two might actually be scared to death!

It seems that this evil wind can directly awaken people's inner fears.

I formed a hand seal with one hand, creating a simple array, then took out the Thunder Strike Sword and drew a small circle on the ground.

I yelled "Break!"

A cylindrical barrier appeared around me, the old lady, the fat man, and me, which just happened to suppress that evil wind.

At this moment, the fat man and the middle-aged woman finally regained their senses, indicating that the formation had been effective.

How are you feeling?

I turned around and asked the older woman.

The woman clutched her chest, still shaken.

"I don't know why, but I felt a sense of fear when I first came in, and I couldn't help but back away. I feel much better now!"

The woman was panting heavily, clearly still shaken by what had just happened.

"This thing can probably bring out people's inner fears. No matter who you are, you will always have fears. If you're not afraid, it's because you haven't encountered anything that will frighten you!"

My eyes were calm. Although I wasn't afraid, my body reacted accordingly when that evil wind blew in.

I'm somewhat glad I don't have an earth spirit; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stay clear-headed under this evil wind.

"it's over?"

The fat man finally snapped out of his daze and asked me blankly.

I replied to him irritably, "It's over already, we've finished all the food."

The fat man gave an awkward smile and explained to me that many frightening things had just occurred to him.

I simply returned a polite smile, then glanced casually at his trousers.

It's definitely dirtier now!

I waved my hand dismissively and walked to the front.

The evil aura grew stronger and stronger.

As I went deeper, I found an identical mirror on the counter.

"Sir, look, this mirror is exactly the same as the one from before!"

The fat man exclaimed in surprise when he saw the entire mirror!

I never expected to see the exact same thing here.

"I'm not blind, I can see!"

I stared intently at the mirror, and after observing it, I realized that it was exactly the same as the one in my backpack.

If it weren't for the constant stream of evil energy emanating from inside, I would have even thought that the mirror from before had wandered over here.

"Could this be a family heirloom?"

After the fat man finished speaking, he himself was a little unsure.

I closed my eyes and kept replaying everything that had happened that day in my mind, feeling like I had missed some useful information.

After thinking for a long time, I was still just a little bit short. In desperation, I opened my eyes and took out the notebook from my backpack.

When I left, I made a point of taking this notebook from my study.

The only valuable literature we have now is right here.

"What should we do with this mirror? Destroy it?"

The older woman pointed to the mirror and quickly asked.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"

At this point, I used the lightning sword to strike the mirror.

The mirror, however, remained intact. Although the evil energy was suppressed, there wasn't even a crack on the mirror.

"Look! Ordinary methods simply can't destroy the mirror, and what we need to do is completely eliminate the thing inside!"

There was a hint of helplessness in my voice.

I felt that sense of powerlessness once again.

When I wanted to destroy him, I found that I didn't have the power to do so.

The sword that Owl God has enhanced is already ridiculously powerful.

"Let's take it one step at a time! First, let's get rid of the evil spirits inside!"

The older woman gently patted my shoulder, which was a little encouragement.

I nodded vigorously and redid the formation.

When my formation enveloped the mirror, it emitted a whooshing sound, seemingly in strong resistance.

The evil energy reflected in the mirror emerged in an extremely terrifying manner.

It seems my formation can no longer contain it!

The older woman started setting up an array for me, but her energy was just too small.

"Xiao He, put your hand on it and try to suppress the evil spirit!"

In a moment of inspiration, I made a bold decision.

Upon hearing my command, the fat man revealed a monstrous expression, pointing to his own face: "Me?"

"Trust me! This time it should work!"

I gritted my teeth, because the formation was about to collapse. If it broke, I might be able to walk up and down, but the other two might not be.

The fat man had no choice but to put his hand on it.

When his hand touched the bronze mirror, I could feel that the evil energy was not as strong.
