Chapter 1157 The Returnee's Notes 231
The Mirror Spirit felt an irresistible suction force, and with the suppression of the red rope, its struggles became weaker and weaker, and it was about to be drawn into the Soul Umbrella.
At that very moment, the small retro mirror on the table made a cracking sound as its surface shattered bit by bit.
Unlike ordinary mirrors, this small mirror turned completely black after it shattered, losing all its reflective properties.
Xie Ning lowered her eyes to meet the gaze of the spirit. Due to the intense struggle just now, much of the hair covering its face had fallen away, allowing one to vaguely see its features.
Its eyes were not entirely white like when it possessed Qi Leyou and the others; only its irises were completely black, without any reflection.
There were also some patterns painted on his face, like runes.
For some reason, the Mirror Spirit, which had been struggling slightly, suddenly quieted down. It smiled at Xie Ning, but there was no smile in its eyes, only a hint of sadness.
It hung its hands, mechanically tilted its head, and said to Xie Ning, "I'm going to die."
It was utter and complete death.
Before Xie Ning could react to what it meant, the taut red rope on her hand suddenly loosened, and the mirror spirit... vanished, just like that, right before their eyes.
"What happened?" Ouyang Lin covered her forehead. She had seen the whole thing. Xie Ning was about to capture the Mirror Spirit, so how did it suddenly... dissipate?
Huang Lili was also puzzled. Xie Ning probably hadn't made a move yet, right?
"I don't know either, I was just trying to put it in the umbrella."
After all, judging from Qi Leyou's mutterings after her breakdown, this spirit wasn't summoned by her, but bought.
Therefore, they also planned to suppress and store the mirror spirit, making it easier to investigate the person behind it.
Huang Lili saw the mirror on the table next to her and exclaimed in shock, "It's broken!"
Moreover, the shattering was strange, completely black. If the mirror had some luster and texture before, now not only are the lenses completely black, but the mirror body has also become very ordinary, just like a regular small plastic mirror.
It has a feeling of metal turning into plastic.
"It was hiding right here."
Ouyang Lin pondered for a moment, glanced at Qi Leyou on the ground, and hesitated before saying, "If she really bought this mirror spirit, then this small mirror is very likely the mirror spirit's initial container..."
I investigated the strange path with them before. The old man used a wooden figure, and this small mirror is similar in function to the wooden figure. I just don't know if this guess is correct.
This conjecture needs to be verified by Qi Leyou's explanation.
These two girls have been possessed by a Mirror Spirit, and they won't wake up so quickly.
The group first called for an ambulance, and then removed the evil aura from the two men.
Xie Ning opened the door and saw Professor Yan pacing anxiously in the corridor. "How is it?"
"I'm dizzy, we've already called an ambulance."
Professor Yan glanced inside. "Where is that thing?"
"It's over."
Professor Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the crowd had dispersed; otherwise, with so many students here, they could easily have been harmed.
Shortly after Qi Leyou and Xie Ning were taken to the hospital, Qi Leyou woke up. She no longer hid anything from Xie Ning and the others when they asked her questions. She said that she had bought the mirror from an NPC in a haunted house.
At first, she didn't believe it. She thought it was something like sticking pins in someone's mouth, which wouldn't cause any real harm but would allow her to vent her malice and feel better.
Then she followed the person's instructions step by step and finally successfully summoned the mirror spirit.
At that time, she was actually scared and wanted to back down, but in the end, evil thoughts prevailed, and she wanted the mirror spirit to scare Xiaomei.
But she never expected that Xiaomei would be scared to death like that.
At that time, she didn't know it was the Mirror Spirit who was behind it; she thought the Mirror Spirit was so terrifying that it scared people to death.
Qi Leyou felt uneasy. Her remaining rationality told her that this was wrong and that she should stop the damage in time and stop hurting people. But she couldn't control herself.
Xiaomei's death gave her a sense of satisfaction, so she even sent the Mirror Spirit to scare other people.
The first one to be affected was that senior student.
Compared to Xiaomei, she disliked the senior more, because Xiaomei only treated her like a follower and bossed her around, but the senior genuinely belittled her in every way.
Especially when other people make jokes about her in a private room, she has to put on a smiling face.
Besides all that, what she found hardest to accept was that... she was photographed and completely turned into a money-making tool in her senior's hands.
Xiaomei didn't know at first. Later, she asked for help, but Xiaomei couldn't do anything about it and told her to accept her fate.
Those people... are no match for them; they're just ordinary students.
Perhaps she shouldn't have gone down this path in the first place.
Qi Leyou turned her gaze to the window, where the gloomy sky mirrored her life.
“I’m fed up with being poor. Everyone says you can make money through legitimate means, but if you could really make that much money through legitimate means, then no one would always be operating in the gray area.”
Actually, at first she just wanted to make some quick money and then use it to finish her studies, thinking that even if it was dark now, it would always get brighter and there would be a rainbow.
She carefully clung to her hope for the future.
But in this seemingly mutually agreeable transaction, she was always in the bottom position. At first, she was able to act according to her own wishes.
Later, it became just a tool.
