The clear pool water was like a mirror, reflecting what Yin Zhu looked like when she was young.
Upon seeing the reflection in the water, Yin Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then took a few steps back away from the pond and looked at the mirror image on the thermos again: "If I throw this bottle in directly, can you go into the water?"
"What?" Jinggui was surprised that Yin Zhu hadn't given up yet. "You've already seen a monster in the water, and you still want me to go in? This water belongs to someone. What's the difference between throwing me out and feeding that water monster? We each have our own territory and don't infringe on each other's, okay?"
"Isn't that because you can't leave your own territory?" Yin Zhu hadn't forgotten what Jing Gui had said before.
"Uh, anyway, I'm not going!"
If the Mirror Demon hadn't been shrouded in black mist, Yin Zhu would probably have seen its indignant expression, a refusal to be forced into prostitution.
“Okay, then I’ll give you some psychological counseling.” Yin Zhu didn’t even consider the possibility of Jing Gui refusing her. In her mind, there were only two possibilities for Jing Gui: to agree now or to agree after she had “talked to him” him.
Jinggui simply covered his ears with both hands.
Although this action was actually useless, it must be said that the current Mirror Ghost has a clearer outline than the original black mist.
Yin Zhu suspected it was related to her frequently teasing the dog.
Look at it, isn't it becoming more and more like a human? It's practically a world-class version of "the old society turned people into ghosts, and the new society turned ghosts into people."
If Jing Gui knew what Yin Zhu was thinking, he would definitely want to become a human and strangle her.
Yin Zhu didn't care about the Mirror Ghost's useless and powerless resistance. She coaxed it gently, saying, "It only has one ghost, but we have one person and one ghost, so we have the advantage in numbers. Moreover, if you can establish a base here, it will greatly facilitate our subsequent operations."
Jing Gui turned around immediately, adopting a "I won't listen" attitude.
However, because it was entirely black, and the reflection of the person in the water bottle was already small, Yin Zhu couldn't tell which side was the front. She only felt that it had flattened and then gotten fatter.
"And actually, I have another idea. You see, I was startled when I looked at the pool just now. If this place were ours, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for you to scare other people? For example, you could conjure up a bunch of heads floating around in the water, and when someone comes to the water's edge, they could all stare at them expressionlessly... Actually, you could also smile at them, since they're all quite abnormal..."
Yin Zhu was lost in her whimsical thoughts, and her words were like a soft feather, gently teasing Jing Gui's heart, making it feel a little itchy.
“Um…” Jing Gui interrupted Yin Zhu in a low voice, “If, I mean if.”
If I did something behind your back, or used your name, would you be angry?
If thoughts could be visualized, Yin Zhu would surely have many red question marks and exclamation marks above her head. After imagining a bunch of random thoughts, Yin Zhu tentatively asked Jing Gui, "How much does what you're talking about relate to me personally?"
"This...it shouldn't be too big, right?"
Mirror Ghost was a little unsure.
"So, you've been swindling and deceiving behind my back." Yin Zhu took a deep breath, her tone slightly displeased. "Now that we're at kindergarten, you're still not cooperating with my work, while I'm still trying to figure out how to scare more people and let you eat more souls. Doesn't your heart ache?"
Mirror Ghost has no heart, but it was indeed a little embarrassed to be questioned like this.
In addition, the scene that Yin Zhu had imagined was indeed very appealing to the ghost. Having eaten countless people, the ghost naturally knew how intimidating the scene she described was to others.
After all, not everyone is as unafraid of the supernatural as Yin Zhu.
"Well, I've thought about it. We have the numbers, so we could try to take over this pond."
The Mirror Ghost was persuaded, but it also had its own concerns, considering that the local Water Ghost was probably stronger than itself: "But the guy in the water is very powerful and has the home-field advantage. If we make a move now, I think it is unlikely to succeed."
"What about a sneak attack?" Yin Zhu pondered for a moment.
"A sneak attack? It noticed me the moment I entered the water; there's no way I could sneak up on it." Mirror Ghost directly rejected her plan.
However, Yin Zhu still felt there was hope, so she immediately changed her perspective: "Speaking of which, compared to your own kind, are you more interested in cannibalism?"
"You could say that..."
"If I go to the water's edge later and get scared by it, will it want to eat me?"
"Of course I want to eat it."
"If I get startled and fall in, will it focus all its attention on me?"
At this point in Yin Zhu's speech, the mirror spirit already understood and immediately picked up the thread: "Then I'll take the opportunity to ambush it?" It put itself in Yin Zhu's shoes and thought about it for a moment, finally confirming Yin Zhu's plan: "That's feasible."
In any case, the Mirror Ghost was certain that if it were the monster in the water, it would never give up a fresh and delicious living person for the sake of caring about a "monster from someone else's house" with little meat. Although the monster in the water should be stronger than itself, in terms of craving for people (food), it was probably not much different from itself. This instinct engraved in its genes was difficult to overcome.
If the enemy is caught off guard, Jinggui believes there shouldn't be much of a problem. The only possible unexpected event is if Yin Zhu really gets caught and eaten, then Jinggui will probably be killed along with her.
However, only those who dare to fight will succeed.
After discussing some more details, the two, one human and one ghost, returned to the pond with the thermos.
Yin Zhu gripped the thermos tightly with both hands and cautiously approached the pond again. The reflection in the pond was still that of a three- or four-year-old miniature Yin Zhu, wearing a little white dress and smiling like a cute little angel.
