So, everyone split up into two groups and began to search the old house carefully. Lin Yu and Lao Chen were responsible for checking each room on the first floor, while Professor Li and Xiao Zhao went to the second floor to explore.
Lin Yu and Lao Chen walked into a living room, where a large wooden sofa sat. The leather had cracked, revealing the yellowed cotton inside. A few worn teacups sat on the coffee table, as if time had suddenly stopped. Lao Chen opened a cabinet, which was filled with a pungent, musty smell. He covered his nose and rummaged through the cabinet, hoping to find some useful clues.
"Lin Yu, what do you think the previous owner of this ancient house experienced? How could he leave behind such a house full of strange atmosphere?" Old Chen asked while searching.
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but judging from the current situation, it's definitely not simple. Maybe it's related to this ancient mirror. We have to find more clues to uncover the truth."
Meanwhile, Professor Li and Xiao Zhao arrived at a study on the second floor. The room was filled with bookshelves, most of which were worn and worn, with yellowed pages that looked like they might crumble to dust at the slightest touch. Xiao Zhao walked through the shelves, carefully examining the titles of each book.
"Professor Li, these books seem to be about ancient mysticism and feng shui. Could they be related to the secret of the ancient mirror?" Xiao Zhao picked up a tattered book and handed it to Professor Li.
Professor Li took the book, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "It's possible. These books contain some information about mysterious formations and supernatural phenomena. Perhaps they can help us understand the origin and function of the ancient mirror."
However, after a thorough search, no other obvious anomalies were found. As night fell, the entire old house was shrouded in darkness, a silence so eerie it made one's heart tremble. Lin Yu checked his watch; it was almost midnight.
"I heard that this ancient mirror will show abnormalities every night at twelve o'clock." Lin Yu said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the ancient mirror. At this time, the ancient house was very quiet. Only the soft breathing of the people and the ticking of the clock hands could be heard.
Time ticked by, and when the hands reached twelve, the ancient mirror suddenly emitted a faint green light. Though faint, it was particularly glaring in the darkness, as if an evil eye had suddenly opened. Immediately, the mirror began to shift unpredictably, as if countless lights and shadows surged within it, distorting and deforming, sometimes resembling savage monsters, sometimes like struggling figures. At the same time, a terrifying sound emanated from the mirror, like a mournful wail, sometimes like an angry roar, intertwined into a chilling cacophony that seemed to pierce everyone's soul.
Xiao Zhao was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper. He took a few steps back unconsciously and said in a trembling voice, "This... this is too scary. What the hell is that sound? It feels like it came from hell."
Old Chen gripped his weapon tightly. Although he was filled with fear, his years of experience allowed him to maintain composure. He said, "Don't be afraid. We're here. There's definitely something wrong with this mirror. Let's see what else it does. Perhaps this is the key to uncovering the strange happenings in the old house."
Lin Yu frowned, his eyes fixed on the ancient mirror. His brain raced, thinking of a countermeasure. He said, "This ancient mirror seems to contain another dimension or some kind of supernatural phenomenon. Let's not act rashly and wait and see. Any rash action may put us in even greater danger."
Professor Li recorded the changes in the ancient mirror while saying, "From what we can see so far, this force is very powerful and full of unknowns. We must be careful and not fall into danger. The energy fluctuations of this ancient mirror are very unusual and different from any supernatural phenomena we have encountered before. Perhaps there is a huge secret hidden behind it."
The terrifying sound grew louder and louder, as if it were about to engulf the entire ancient house. The light and shadows in the mirror became increasingly chaotic, and all sorts of terrifying images kept flashing. Suddenly, a pale hand stretched out from the ancient mirror. Its fingers were slender and dry, and its nails were as black as ink, like a soul-snatching hand reaching out from the abyss of hell. Then, a figure slowly emerged from the mirror... This figure was hunched over, wearing a tattered ancient robe. The patterns embroidered on the robe were blurred, but the splendor of its past could still be seen. Her hair fell like a black waterfall, covering most of her face. Only a pair of empty eyes could be vaguely seen, emitting a faint green light...
