Having escaped death, cold water flowed down Chen Ge's head. He was still in shock, his chest heaving, his lips purple, and his hands still tightly grasping the kitchen knife.

It took him a minute or two to calm down, and the dizziness in his head eased a lot.

Reaching out to wipe the water droplets off his face, he staggered to his feet from the bathtub.

In the light of the candle, nothing seemed to have changed in the room.

"I must have hit something when I swung the knife just now, and I heard a crisp sound." Chen Ge looked at the angle of the chop and saw a mark left on the corner of the bathtub.

"It hit the bathtub? That shouldn't be the case. I clearly felt someone holding my head down, so the knife should have hit him." Chen Ge was eager to know the truth. He walked out of the bathtub and took the phone that was still recording.

Stop recording and play the video from the beginning.

"I sat in the bathtub at 3:30, and nothing unusual happened until 3:43." Chen Ge leaned against the wall, staring at the screen. At 3:44, he lay in the bathtub, water splashed out, and the water surface was level with the bathtub.

"It does look a little weird." I didn't find it that scary when I did it myself, but when I watched it as a bystander in the video, I felt a creepy feeling.

Chen Ge compared the time. Twenty seconds before he lay in the bathtub, everything in the bathroom was normal, except for the occasional sound of dripping water.

Another ten seconds passed, and Chen Ge frowned. He found that the content in the video was not quite the same as what he felt in the bathtub!

According to the time he counted silently, footsteps should have been heard in the corridor at this time, but the video was still calm and there was no strange sound.

Another five or six seconds passed, and the sound of knocking on the door that Chen Ge remembered did not appear in the video. The screen only showed the dark water surface and the swaying candlelight.

"Were the footsteps in the corridor and the banging on the door just my own hallucinations?"

Fifty seconds passed, and a large number of bubbles began to appear on the originally calm water surface on the screen. Chen Ge in the bathtub could no longer hold on.

At this moment, something happened that made Chen Ge's scalp tingle.

There was a palm-sized piece of mirror fragment next to the bathtub. The surface gradually darkened, and a black shadow emerged from it. It lay next to the bathtub. The scene was extremely strange.

Judging from the body outline, this person looks very similar to He Feng.

There are more and more bubbles on the water surface, and then comes the most critical moment.

In the video, Chen Ge's body and will have reached their limits. He could not hold on any longer and supported himself on the bottom of the pool with both hands, ready to give up.

But just as his head was about to float out of the water, the dark shadow standing next to the bathtub suddenly stretched out his hands and pressed down his head!

Unable to breathe, water rushed into his mouth and nose. Chen Ge struggled desperately. He waved the kitchen knife in his hand recklessly. The black shadow swayed, and the kitchen knife seemed to have some effect on it, but it was minimal.

At the critical moment, the puppets originally placed around the bathtub seemed to be blown by the wind, and the smallest puppet among them pressed down the palm-sized piece of mirror fragment with its body.

The mirror was blocked, and the shadow suddenly became much more blurred. Then, Chen Ge accidentally hit its head with a knife, and the monster disappeared instantly.

The blade continued to move forward and finally landed on the edge of the bathtub, leaving a shallow mark. Chen Ge also emerged from the water at the moment the power disappeared.

The video ended here. After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Chen Ge became more and more determined to get rid of the monster in the mirror.

"You can't keep it!"

Chen Ge carefully saved the video and picked up the puppet lying on the mirror. The little guy's back was scratched by the edge of the mirror and his body was soaked.

"They are all beings from another world, but their personalities are very different. Some are kind by nature, while others are filled with malice." Chen Ge wiped the water off his body, put on his clothes, and stuffed all the dolls into his pockets before he felt at ease.

"It's useless to smash the mirror. It can still appear in the mirror fragments. How can we deal with this monster?" It appears and disappears mysteriously. You can't see it or find it. When facing such a thing, you are inherently at a disadvantage.

Chen Ge picked up the palm-sized piece of mirror fragment on the ground. It was an unintentional move, but he unexpectedly saw water droplets rolling on the mirror, leaving a faint Arabic numeral - "3".

"Was it left by the monster in the mirror? Is it demonstrating to me? Does the number three represent Heshan, Hefeng and me, or does it mean that it wants to kill me within three days?" Chen Ge didn't understand the meaning of this number, but he was sure that this number didn't have any good meaning: "Do you really think I'm afraid of you? One day I will pull you out of the mirror and burn you to death at noon when the sunlight is the strongest!"

Chen Ge uttered the most vicious curse he could think of. His life was hanging by a thread just now. It was really thrilling.

After taking a breath, Chen Ge picked up the black phone. He had already given up hope, but when he swiped the screen and saw the message prompt on the phone, his eyes instantly brightened.

"Lucky ghost patron, you held your breath underwater for 62 seconds. Congratulations on completing the nightmare difficulty daily task! You received the task reward - Yin Tong."

"Yin pupil: vision is unknown, it can see through the earth's Yin, and can see the Yin spirit with the Yang body (vision is greatly improved, other functions are unknown)."

"Complete two nightmare difficulty daily tasks cumulatively. After completing the third nightmare difficulty task, a trial task with a horror scene will be randomly unlocked!"

"Complete more than 95% of the missions three times in a row to unlock a new feature - Ghost Favorability!"

After reading all the information, Chen Ge felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. The nightmare-level daily task required him to hold his breath in the water for 60 seconds. Because of nervousness and other emotions, he only lasted for more than 50 seconds and was ready to give up. Originally, this task could not be completed. But because the monster in the mirror had murderous intentions towards him, he was forced to hold on for a few more seconds, and finally completed the task with great difficulty.

Lost in one place, gained in another. Although life was on the line, overall the result was good.

Chen Ge flipped through the black phone. This nightmare-level mission seemed very critical to him.

If this mission fails, not only will you not be able to obtain the mission reward, the unlocking of the new scene will also be delayed, and most importantly, the new function in the phone will not be unlocked.

Out of curiosity, he found the newly appeared column for the favorability of evil spirits and clicked on it.

The mobile page changed, and five completely unfamiliar names appeared on the screen.
