Jiang Ji chatted with the magic mirror for the first time. Like a girl who was reluctant to part with her lover, she pestered it with several questions related to the rules of the ghost story. Each question was more incisive than the last and directly burned up the magic mirror's CPU.

As long as it involves the correctness of the rules and the nature of the strange story, the image in the mirror is distorted by an invisible force. The naked eye can only see a wriggling gray fog, as if it is composed of dense gray mosquitoes. If you stare at it for a long time, your ears will buzz and your headache will be splitting.

The magic mirror also shut down, the mirror surface was pitch black, and a faint burnt smell could be smelled.

Jiang Ji had no choice but to put away the mirror reluctantly, and suddenly noticed a pair of bloodstained feet behind the reef.

Walking forward, behind the reef, I saw a man lying on the ground. His wet golden hair stuck to his face, his nose was high, and he looked very noble.

It looked exactly the same as the face that had just appeared in the mirror, and the golden badge on the left chest was shining with a cold light.

Jiang Ji: “?”

If the prince had indeed been eaten, who was this person on the shore now?

Jiang Ji stopped half a meter away, picked up a branch, and dug at the limp body with a bit of disgust.

She poked his face first, then his chest, like someone picking and choosing pork at a pork stall. It was indeed elastic. I don't know if her action was too rude, but the man's eyelids trembled inwardly, and he actually opened his eyes. His blue eyes were very charming.

He gave her a weak smile and passed out again.

In the distance, a figure half-pegged out from the sea, watching this place silently.

When he saw Jiang Ji looking at him, he shrank back in fright, causing a splash of water.

Jiang Ji: ...

Such a familiar scene.

"Starting as the Little Mermaid, I impersonated the male lead Bai Yueguang"?

Jiang Ji didn't find any other rules on this person, so there was nothing to worry about.

She glanced at the sky. The waning moon was high in the sky and the moonlight was pleasant...bullshit, she threw the stick away, turned around and left.

Everything in the ghost stories cannot be trusted, and you may be misled at any time. Jiang Ji remembered the correct time very clearly in his mind. Now there is only half an hour left until dark. If he doesn't leave now, he will have to face the indescribable darkness.

Half an hour was not enough for Jiang Ji to drive back to the palace, nor was it enough for her to return to Duke Bluebeard's castle.

But it doesn’t matter, she and Grandma Aisha still have a warm home.

After Jiang Ji left, the tall figure slowly sat up, his face was cold, his mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the scales on his face were flickering.

Jiang Ji returned to Aisha's house in town.

When I reached the door of my house, most of the bleak moon had been covered, leaving only a remnant.

The lights in the neighboring houses had been turned off, and all she could see was a biting darkness. However, she felt like she was being watched. Behind every dark window, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes, pressed against the windows, staring at her with their eyes wide open.

"It's creepy." Jiang Ji muttered and opened the door.

Aisha's house is not big, with only a kitchen, a living room and two bedrooms. She has to go out when she needs to go to the toilet.

Grandma Aisha has been moved back to the palace by her to enjoy her old age.

If Aisha's grandmother hadn't strongly refused, Jiang Ji would have been ready to find her a dozen handsome young men in uniform with very long legs, but unfortunately she didn't like that.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and the thunder and lightning made the windows rattle, as if countless hands were hitting the windows.

Jiang Ji finally lit the kerosene lamp and saw a dark figure sitting quietly in the living room.

The other person smiled kindly, "Little Karen, why did you come back so late? You must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat."

She stood up tremblingly, and because of her old age and illness, her movements were very slow, and her black dress did not have a trace of other colors.

"I'm not hungry." After a few days of eating all kinds of fruits that tasted like foam boards, her taste buds were completely numb. She was just wondering, "Grandma Aisha, aren't you in the palace? Why did you come back suddenly? Are you not used to living here?"

"The palace is too magnificent." Grandma Aisha's voice was old and hoarse. "I still think... it's better for me to retire in a small town."

"How can that be possible?" Jiang Ji disagreed strongly. "Your health needs the best doctors in the palace to take good care of you. You must be uncomfortable with me not being with you in the palace. I will call a carriage right away and we will go back to the palace together. Please wait."

Then he turned and walked towards the door.

She walked faster and faster with her back to him, and finally she just ran.

She only felt the sound of wind passing behind her and something hanging behind her.

Thick bolts of lightning struck from the sky, illuminating the outside with white light. Jiang Ji inadvertently caught a glimpse of the reflection in the window. Not far behind her, the old lady in black had a pale and lifeless face, and her eyes were dark without a trace of light, without any sign of life.

[Rule 3: Grandma Aisha hates the color black. If you see her wearing black clothes, please hide under the bed immediately and don’t make any noise.]

Grandma Aisha is in the palace, the most polluted palace, and it is not a place where one can come and go as they please.

Even Duke Bluebeard had to stay in the palace obediently.

So the person in the living room right now… is definitely not Grandma Aisha!

It was an invasion by unknown creatures wandering in the darkness.

But both rooms were blocked by it when "Grandma Aisha" stood up, so Jiang Ji couldn't get through and could only escape in the opposite direction.

She rushed to the door, gritted her teeth and pulled it open.

I was caught off guard and my eyes met with the person outside the door who was raising his hand to knock.

Seeing her, he smiled brightly, "You saved me! I finally found——"

Before he could finish introducing himself, Jiang Ji had already pulled him into the house, turned around and introduced himself to the old lady in black who was already clinging to her back: "Grandma Aisha, look what I found, a poor and miserable guest... Hey, the rain outside is too heavy, I'm afraid we can't go back to the palace tonight, how about we take a rest for a night and then send you back tomorrow?"

The weirdness that can walk in the dark must be of a high level, such as her husband Duke Bluebeard who comes home at eight o'clock every day.

This should be enough to calm down this "Grandma Aisha".

Grandma Aisha's dark eyes swept across the other person, and suddenly she revealed a kind and even humble smile.

"Of course, my dear guest, it is our honor."
