    Chapter 93 The world in the mirror

    When it was too late, it was too fast, Lu Yingjiu suddenly stretched out his hand and went straight to the face of the person in the mirror!

    In this short half-second, he has summoned God, if this hit, the ghost's head will be dizzy even if it is not broken.

    Yet the other hand was one step ahead of him.

    Jing Xian returned to him at some point, and reached out his hand casually, but it brought out the sound of breaking wind.

    "boom!"

    The mirror was pierced by him, and the fragments rose up, each with a faint green fire.

    Lu Yingjiu hurriedly stopped: "Don't kill him!"

    late.

    The ghost's head was crushed by Jingxian.

    The blood mist flew around, smearing the wall of the mirror world into scarlet, but the broken mirror could not fly at all. Jingxian withdrew his hand, which was still clean, as if it had never happened.

    Silence returned to the house.

    Lu Yingjiu raised his forehead and said, "If only I hadn't killed it, there is obviously another space behind this mirror."

    Jingxian was not very happy: "I kept it, it didn't die completely. Originally it dared to imitate you, and it deliberately separated us. It's not enough to die a thousand times."

    "..." Lu Yingjiu smiled, "Forget it, let's go buy another mirror and keep it there, maybe we can do it again."

    In the middle of the night, don't know where can buy a fitting mirror of the same size.

    Jingxian sent the little ghosts, and soon, they brought a mirror from nowhere.

    The size is about the same, and the height is just right.

    Lu Yingjiu put it back, pointed it at the bed, and then lay back again: "Jingxian, calm down a bit this time."

    Jingxian reluctantly agreed.

    The bed was crowded, and Lu Yingjiu continued to fall asleep in his arms.

    "Tick tock..."

    "Tick tock..."

    Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lu Yingjiu to wake up again.

    This time Jingxian didn't disappear, he was still lying beside him, squinting his deep black eyes and looking at the mirror in front of him.

    It was a European-style round mirror, facing the bed, reflecting the two of them.

    As before, there was no green flame reflection in the eyes of the person in the mirror.

    Lu Yingjiu got out of bed, walked over barefoot and looked at the person in the mirror.

    They still laughed.

    Laughing and smiling, his expression froze—

    Jing Xian stood behind Lu Yingjiu with a sullen look on his face and smiled.

    Man in the Mirror:? !

    They turned around and wanted to run, but Lu Yingjiu suddenly stretched out his hand. The back of the hand was wrapped with fine rune paper, and when it was submerged into the mirror, it seemed to be lightly dipping into the water. The mirror is still intact, and he has grabbed the collars of the two ghosts.

    The person in the mirror: "@!!hsdf*&!#!"

    Lu Yingjiu couldn't understand the screeching crowd, probably understood that they were expressing fear. He gently pulled, and two ghosts came out of the mirror.

    Once they leave the mirror, they can no longer imitate others, and in the blink of an eye they become two little ghosts.

    The kid was about as tall as a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old child, with one eye, ghost horns, and a pale face. They have a peace talisman hanging around their necks, and they are actually wearing the costumes of ancient ghost exorcists. Various runes are drawn on the wide robes, and two black and white, one male and one female are drawn on the back. Listen carefully.

    They shivered and hid in the corner, trying to run into the mirror.

    Lu Yingjiu threw out the talisman paper and landed on the mirror. No matter how these two little devils touched the mirror, they couldn't go back.

    Kid: "oe%i! @@*seg!"

    Lu Yingjiu frowned slightly: "What are you talking about?" He looked at Jingxian, "Translate?"

    Jingxian said, "They speak in dialects, and I don't understand them either."

    Lu Yingjiu: ?

    Lu Yingjiu: "Nonsense and dialect?"

    "Of course." Jingxian said, "I speak the official language with most of the priests, but every type of ghost can speak some dialect." He looked at the kid, "But I can find it. A ghost who understands."

    He snapped his fingers, and an unknown ghost appeared on the ground. Jingxian told it a few words, and it nodded again and again.

    But half a minute later, the ghost came back with a... black cat.

    The black cat has scarlet eyes and three tails.

    Kid: "sh

    ! ? nn? *owe”

    The black cat opened its mouth and said, "It's asking, what are you doing here? Are they bad people? They don't want to hurt people, they just want to drive you away."

    It's weird for a ghost to ask "Are you a bad guy?"

    After all, ghosts generally don't care about so-called good or bad, and have no moral standards.

    only……

    Looking at their clothes, they should have been dealing with ghost exorcists all the year round, so it is not surprising to ask such a question.

    Lu Yingjiu said the truth: "Let's find zhang shuwang."

    The kid muttered for a while.

    Black cat translation: "We don't know what you said zhang shuwang, let's go, this is someone else's house."

    This is a lie.

    Lu Yingjiu pointed to their clothes: "This is the clothes of the ghost exorcist. Except for the Zhang family, no one will draw and listen to it."

    After hearing this, the kid shook his head again and again, just as he was about to continue denying it, his eyes suddenly fell on Jingxian.

    They are very sensitive to danger, and their voices are a little quieter.

    Lu Yingjiu took out some talisman papers to show them, and said, "I am also a ghost exorcist. I used to stay at the Green Lantern Festival for a while. If it wasn't a last resort, we wouldn't break in."

    The kid took his talisman and looked at it, trying to confirm its authenticity.

    Jingxian became impatient, and said coldly, "If we really had ulterior motives, you would all be dead."

    The two little devils shuddered.

    One of the little ghosts in white swallowed his saliva, plucked up his courage and said, "We, we don't want to treat you as bad people, that is..."

    Another answer in black: "How can serious people hug each other on someone else's bed!"

    "That's right, that's right, one is hanging around the waist and the other is hanging on the leg. After we came out for two seconds, we could see your evil deeds clearly."

    "It's too bad to secretly fall in love on Master Zhang's bed, it's too perverted..."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Lu Yingjiu: "Do you think I want to sleep in someone else's bed?!"

    "No need to say more." Jing Xian smiled sensually, "Beat it up and you're done."

    The two little devils shrank their heads and wailed.

    The black cat translated in a timely manner: "They are scolding you for being a coward, a dog man, and they say that they are not afraid of life and death, and they are generous to righteousness."

    Lu Yingjiu's eyebrows jumped: "What's this all about?"

    hair balls are attached to his feet: "Oh!"

    Unexpectedly, when it screamed like this, the scolding of the two little devils stopped.

    They looked at HAIR Balls in the same way, looking at its ghost horns, its silver -gray eyes, and a round body.

    The little ghost in white: "Is this, is this gluttonous?"

    "Absolutely!" The kid in black nodded, "Look at its short legs, it's the same as what Master Zhang said!"

    hair balls: "..."

    It exploded with rage, like an exploding dandelion.

    "Taotie, he will also say," the little ghost in white looked up, looked at Lu Yingjiu carefully, and asked cautiously, "Is your surname Lu?"

    Lu Yingjiu raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Well. Do you know me?"

    This time the kid's face changed.

    The little ghost in black replied: "We don't know you, but Master Zhang knows you. She has been waiting for you and said that you will definitely come over one day."

    "It was disrespectful just now, how disrespectful." The little ghost in white said, bowing deeply with the green lantern in hand, "We didn't expect it to be you. Please come with me, Sir Zhang has been waiting for a long time."

    Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian looked at each other.

    This "Master Zhang" has zhang shuwang.

    The little ghost also said, zhang shuwang has been waiting for him for a long time ...

    Could it be said that as a member of the world, ZHANG Shuwang, like others, has been secretly monitoring Lu Yingjiu?Which day is waiting for him to return to heaven?

    Things got confusing.

    It seems that the only way to go with them.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "Let's lead the way."

    The kid responded and said, "We're going into the mirror."

    After speaking, they lifted the lantern in their hands and stood side by side in front of the mirror just now. The blue lights of the two lanterns shone and fell into the mirrors, illuminating the faces of each of them.

    After a few seconds, the mirror surface had water-like fluctuations.

    "Come with us." The kid said, taking the lead, his body seemed to melt into the mirror.

    Jing Xian took Lu Yingjiu's hand and walked ahead as usual.

    The two stepped over the mirror.

    In the mirror, the bedroom of Zhang Shuwang, but it was completely upside down.The blue light in the little ghost's hand turned out several times bright.

    The little ghost in white said, "You should stay in the light of the lantern as much as possible, otherwise you may be repelled by the world in the mirror. At that time, you will have to walk again."

    Lu Yingjiu responded, followed them to the living room, opened the door and went to the corridor.

    The hallway was empty, still upside down. The elevator buttons were pitch black, and the only way to go down was through the long stairs. Finally got to the first floor and pushed open the door——

    It's not a neighborhood anymore.

    There was only darkness, a dense darkness.

    The world in the mirror can't see five fingers, the world is like a dye vat. Only the place where the two blue lights illuminated can see the ground under your feet.

    "Please come with us—" said the kid in black.

    Lu Yingjiu was led by Jing Xian and looked around. A few of them walked forward, and the lights flickered, illuminating some passing phantoms. couldn't see what those were, like flying birds, like dead souls, with a cold wind that blew the blue lanterns to and fro.

    The surrounding area is not flat.

    Light occasionally illuminates white walls, ebony cornices and a vermilion gate.

    Everything is an ancient building, so it seems that they really turned into a member of the Green Lantern Pavilion before returning to a thousand years ago, dressed in black clothes, walking in the long night with lanterns. Slaying demons and slaying demons, regardless of fame, just want to exchange the dawn with one's own strength.

    The little ghost in white said: "The world in the mirror was originally the place where Di Ting lived. These mirrors are called 'Qing Mirrors', and they are treasures specially built for it after the Zhang family made a contract with Di Ting. It has been hundreds of thousands of years to explore all things and perceive people's hearts."

    Lu Yingjiu had heard of this rumor.

    It's just that he never came to the mirror in person.

    He asked: "During this time, zhang shuwang has been staying in the mirror?"

    "Yes." Xiao Gui nodded, "Master Zhang has been here all the time. But we haven't gone to find her so quickly."

    The two goblins whistled sharply.

    The phantom surged even more, blowing through the clothes. The lanterns shook violently, and their shadows fell haphazardly on the ground in the wind.

    In the distance, the door opened.

    A vermilion, faded lacquer door opened silently, and behind it was still darkness. The little ghosts led the way, led Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian, and walked into the gate.

    "Whoa-"

    The blue flame surged violently, and then went out suddenly.

    It was dark all around, and then there was... a child's voice?

    "Grandma!" the child was yelling, "I learned an English song at school today!"

    "Oh good-" an old voice replied, "Quickly sing it to grandma."

    A cheerful prelude of music played.

    In the darkness, Jing Xian still took Lu Yingjiu's hand and asked, "What song is this?"

    "A very famous old English song called LemonTree." Lu Yingjiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

    He was a little puzzled, and didn't know which play this was singing.

    The immature child's voice began to sing with a non-standard English pronunciation:

    "I'msittinghereinaboringroom

    I'm sitting in this lifeless room

    It'sjustanotherrainySundayafternoon

    Another rainy Sunday afternoon

     …”

    Lu Yingjiu said in a low voice, "He is singing with a microphone. This should be a karaoke or something."

    Jing Xian hummed.

    "You sing really well!" The old voice appeared again, "Come on, let Grandma kiss one."

    At this moment, the bright light pierced people's eyes.

    Lu Yingjiu's eyes were bright, and he narrowed his eyes. It took a few seconds before he could see the surroundings clearly: I don't know when, they were already in a private room of a KTV. There were melon seeds drinks on the table, and balloons hung on the walls. 【Happy birthday to Little Ark! 】

    ark.

    The name sounds a little familiar. Lu Yingjiu's eyes shifted, looking at the family on the sofa, then paused.

    The gray-haired Chen Minlan smiled until her eyes narrowed, while her son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter Chen Yanyan, and grandson Chen Fangzhou all surrounded the table with smiling faces.

    This……

    This turned out to be the day when the Chen family was killed!

    Chen Fangzhou held the microphone in one hand and Chen Minlan in the other, and said seriously: "Grandma, this song tells the story of a man who separated from his beloved, and then waited under the lemon tree every day. You are all my beloved. People, must be healthy and never be separated."

    "Alas!" Chen Minlan smiled brighter and touched Chen Fangzhou's hair, "Sun Sun is so good! Grandma also wishes you health and happiness."

    In the peace, no one noticed that Chen Yanyan's expression was different.

    And Lu Yingjiu knew everything.

    At this time, Chen Yanyan was Fan Xin who was wearing a human skin mask, and there was a Specter's obsession in her schoolbag. In a few minutes, the ghost would rush out and shred this beauty.

    "Hey, you..."

    Knowing that it was in the past, Lu Yingjiu subconsciously wanted to speak, but found that his voice was as thin as a mosquito's foot.

    Jingxian shook his head lightly and said, "They can't hear it. Our perspective is very strange, and since we are in the mirror world, I guess we are now in a mirror on the wall."

    Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a few seconds.

    That is, they are seeing scenes from the past through the mirror.

    The family sang happily, but Chen Minlan didn't know how to sing, so she clapped her hands with a smile.

    A few minutes later, her phone rang.

    She looked down, the smile on her face disappeared, and she got up and walked out of the private room quickly.

    As soon as the picture turned, Lu Yingjiu's perspective also shifted to the mirror in the corridor.

    Chen Minlan stood alone at the end of the corridor.

    The thin clothes were blown up by the wind.

    The kind and gentle temperament disappeared, replaced by seriousness...even majesty. She has been the head of the Chen family for many years, even if her hair is gray and her back is hunched, her aura has not changed.

    The caller's name is: [Chen Zheng]

    Lu Yingjiu knew that Chen Zheng had been studying with Chen Minlan when he was a child, and regarded her as a teacher.

    "Hey," Chen Minlan answered the phone, "I'm spending my birthday with Ark."

    "...You continue to follow up," she lowered her voice a little. "Last time we destroyed a lot of goods at the dock warehouse, and the other party couldn't hold back. Once they were impatient, there would be more flaws. Your name is Rongrong. With the few people from Xiaofeng and the family, we will focus on investigating the slaughterhouse and port."

    She gave a few more words and said, "We must find out this underground industry chain, not only for the Chen family, but also for the safety of everyone. Things like human skin masks should have disappeared long ago."

    Sure enough, Lu Yingjiu thought, Chen Minlan and Chen Zheng have been tracking down the mask.

    Chen Zheng seemed to say something.

    Chen Minlan laughed: "As long as I'm still alive, the human skin mask will never see the light. It's best if this kind of thing is lost. The Chen family doesn't rely on this kind of thing."

    Before hanging up, however, there was a certain hesitation on her face.

    She said slowly: "Chen Zheng, there is one thing you should pay attention to: you can keep an eye on Chen Qi, he is suspicious."

    "I know that he is your brother. From my standpoint, I hope you are brothers and sisters, support each other and take care of each other. But even brothers will not fully understand each other. When it's time to doubt, I hope you can Make up your mind."

    "Chen Zheng, you have to be a brave and kind person."

    Chen Zheng responded in a low voice.

    Chen Minlan hung up the phone.

    The evening wind from outside the window picked up her pale hair and blew across her wrinkled face. She didn't know what she was thinking, and after a long time, she turned around and went back to the private room.

    ——At this time, no one knew that Chen Qi had already realized this suspicion.

    Fan Xin is the ticking time bomb he arranged, about to detonate.

    Back in the private room, Chen Minlan cleaned up all her emotions.

    She was the kind, harmless old grandmother again, who squinted with joy and twitched her silver hair when she heard her grandson sing.

    Everyone let their guard down.

    The rich shadow swam out of the girl's schoolbag and tangled under the sofa.

    After that, it was everything Lu Yingjiu knew.

    Specter appeared, and blood flew and splashed all over the wall.

    The jukebox played a light-hearted song.

    "I'm stepping around in the desert of joy

    I walk on the happy sandbar

    BabyanyhowI'llgetanothertoy

    Darling, no matter what, I may find another love

    Andeverythingwillhappenandyou'llwonder

    At that time, everything I expected will happen, and it may be you who is depressed."

    Chen Minlan stretched out her hand and protected Chen Fangzhou in her arms. In the past, she was a brave warrior who could defeat hundreds of ghosts, but this skill has aged with age, and the only thing she can do is to resist with flesh and blood.

    "Pfft-"

    Li Gui's sharp claws slid across her back, revealing her bones, a mixture of scarlet and forest white.

    "Yesterdayyoutoldmeaboutthebluebluesky

    Yesterday you talked to me about the beautiful weather

    AndallthatIcansee

    But now I can see

    AndallthatIcansee

    But now I can see

    Isjustayellowlemontree

    There is only one golden lemon tree"

    The room was quiet.

    The only survivor was Fan Xin, the culprit.

    She was shivering in the corner, watching Li Gui licking her sharp claws contentedly, taunting her and disappearing as a shadow.

    What awaits Fan Xin next is a life of more than ten years of pain, struggle, and guilt.

    In the pool of blood, Chen Minlan's hand moved slightly.

    Slowly, she touched the flip phone not far away.

    Lu Yingjiu knew what Chen Minlan was going to do.

    The old man opened the phone with his hand, trembling, but not calling the police.

    Blood stained the screen.

    She clicked out a series of numbers and entered the text with difficulty: [Lu Yingjiu, your hour has come]

    Pressing the send button, Chen Minlan's hand hangs down weakly.

    Her chest heaved slightly, and she took a long, viscous breath, as if she had finally completed a task on her mind.

    ——She didn't know that Lu Yingjiu didn't use this phone number anymore.

    It was not until he pursued the case more than ten years later that the text message was like an abrupt reef, reappearing in the tide called the years.

    At this point, she slowly closed her eyes.

    Lu Yingjiu's breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

    Even though the aristocratic family had been monitoring him and tried to take his life, it was unavoidable to see the tragedy of a whole family.

    Chen Minlan was about to die.

    The blood loss brought a clammy feeling, and the vitality was quickly stripped from the old body. The ups and downs of her chest slowed down, and she slowly exhaled her last breath—

    Suddenly she opened her eyes again!

    The out-of-focus eyes turned out to be looking in the direction of Lu Yingjiu. Across the mirror, after more than ten years, they looked at each other!

    Chen Minlan said hoarsely: "...Lu Yingjiu, Lu Yingjiu, are you there?"

    Lu Yingjiu was horrified.

    She said, "I know you're there, go find someone from the Zhang family, no matter what, you have to..."

    The voice stopped abruptly, and she died.
