Liu Mang touched the back of his head awkwardly. "I was just trying to build some atmosphere."
Guo Hongyuan and Zhang He glared at Liu Mang with disdain. At such a critical juncture, any slight disturbance could send people into a panic, and this guy still had the mood to joke.
Li Bi looked at the candle that had already burned halfway and reached out. "Liu Mang, lend me the lighter."
Liu Mang was stunned. "Sister Bi, maybe we should just forget it."
Li Bi shook her head and teased, "What are you afraid of? I'm a woman and I'm not scared, so how can you, a grown man, be so timid?"
Liu Mang looked at the candle on the table, which was becoming increasingly eerie. Although it had been used halfway, it seemed as if it had been prepared just for them.
Liu Mang took out his lighter and handed it to Li Bi. "Who is Liu Mang afraid of? If I want to light it, I'll light it."
Liu Mang was also provoked. A man could admit to being poor, but he couldn't admit to being incapable. Besides, if Li Bi, a woman, wasn't afraid, why should he be?
Li Bi took the lighter and carefully lit the candles on both sides of the bronze mirror.
As the candlelight illuminated the bronze mirror, Li Bi looked at her reflection and let out a scream: "Ahhh~!"
Everyone was startled by Li Bi's scream. Zhang He and Guo Hongyuan beside her had already closed their eyes.
"What the hell happened?" Jiang Jie gripped his flashlight tightly.
"As the candlelight hit the bronze mirror, I saw my reflection smiling creepily at me," Li Bi said, pointing at her reflection in the mirror with a face full of terror.
Everyone looked at the bronze mirror. Li Bi's reflection wasn't smiling at all; it was making the same gesture as Li Bi.
However, the Li Bi in the mirror, wearing a red dress, did look a bit eerie. After all, who would look in a mirror wearing a red dress in the middle of the night?
"Sister Bi, perhaps you were too nervous and saw it wrong," Jiang Jie tried to comfort her.
Li Bi looked at her reflection in the mirror. After a few seconds, seeing that her reflection was indeed not smiling, she nodded. "Perhaps I really did see it wrong."
Li Bi knew that people in a state of tension were prone to hallucinations.
Li Bi tremblingly picked up the comb, and everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
Li Bi's hand trembled as she held the comb, but she suppressed her fear and slowly combed her hair.
After combing her hair, Li Bi quickly put down the comb. When her gaze fell upon the bronze mirror, her face instantly turned pale, her pupils dilated with terror, and her mouth hung open.
Li Bi almost collapsed as she cried out that one sentence: "She's still combing her hair!!!"
As soon as Li Bi finished speaking, everyone's faces turned extremely pale, revealing their fear.
This time, they saw it clearly: the Li Bi in the bronze mirror was still combing her hair and looking at them with a creepy smile.
Suddenly, the bronze mirror flickered, and a bloody face filled the entire mirror.
"Ahhh ahhh ahhh~!!"
"Ahhh ahhh ahhh~!!"
"Ahhh ahhh ahhh~!!"
Everyone screamed almost simultaneously. The bloody face quickly disappeared, and then a figure in a red dress appeared in the bronze mirror.
The crowd wanted to scream again, but they were so terrified that their throats couldn't make a sound.
The figure in the red dress reflected in the bronze mirror was behind them.
Long, dark hair obscured the figure's face, making it impossible to discern its appearance, but the figure's feet were suspended in the air.
The group dared not turn around, wanting to run but their legs were already weak with fear, unable to muster any strength. The figure in the red dress slowly approached them.
Liu Mang had already wet himself, a large patch of dampness spreading across his crotch.
Just then, Jiang Jie gripped his flashlight tightly and smashed it at the bronze mirror.
*Crack!*
The bronze mirror shattered, and Jiang Jie bolted out of the classroom.
Li Bi also snapped out of her fear, grabbing Zhang He with one hand and Guo Hongyuan with the other, and ran out.
Qian Cong and Fang Hui also ran out, leaving only the stunned Liu Mang behind.
"Help, help~."
Li Bi pulled the two of them and ran downstairs quickly. Liu Mang's cries for help echoed from behind.
As she spoke, Li Bi's face showed a look of terror. "Two days after this incident, the three of us went to Liu Mang's house to inquire about his condition and learned that he had gone mad. Fang Hui was also gravely ill, Qian Cong was in a car accident, and Jiang Jie, for some unknown reason, did not come to school."
Zhang He and Guo Hongyuan on the side looked frightened.
"Because of this incident, the three of us didn't dare to go home and hid in the dormitory every day, afraid to go out. In the following days, every night we would hear a woman knocking on the door and calling our names. And this morning, the three of us almost got into a car accident."
Li Bi said, on the verge of breaking down.
Yu Daochen glanced at the foreheads of the three. He had noticed black energy缠绕ing their foreheads since they entered. Although this black energy did not indicate a bloody disaster, it at least suggested partial disability or mental impairment.
"What they saw should be a mirror ghost. This type of ghost, like the Ouija board spirit, is one of the evil spirits in folklore, also known as a mirror spirit."
"This kind of ghost will not kill you, but it won't let you off easily either."
"If she doesn't achieve her goal, she will follow you for the rest of your life."
Yu Daochen was also a bit curious. Did young people nowadays like to seek thrills? Wasn't it better to stay in the dorm playing games? They had to go looking for trouble. Last time it was Liu Xiaowei's pen spirit, and now this mirror spirit.
As the saying goes, no zuo no die.
Li Bi and the others had brought this upon themselves.
