Yang Jian can be sure that the ghost following Zhang Wei came out of the ghost mirror.

Through some previous dangerous tests, it can be basically determined that there are ghosts inside the mirror, and not just one... but many.

The bruises on the arms, like palm prints, are the best proof.

However, in the current situation, it seems that the ghosts inside the mirror cannot easily come out, except for the one that is exactly the same as Zhang Wei.

"Just standing here is fine? I won't suddenly run into the mirror like my cousin Shangguan Yun, right?" Zhang Wei appeared calm, but his heart was in a panic.

If Yang Jian wasn't standing next to him, he would have been shouting and running away.

Because a ghost has already appeared in the mirror.

It looks exactly like Zhang Wei, but its face is pale without a trace of blood. It walked slowly from the direction of the gate.

This is a ghost that only exists in the mirror.

"No, your actions are not consistent with the ghost in the mirror. It cannot replace you. I need to make another attempt." Yang Jian said, "Just stand still."

Trusting Yang Jian, Zhang Wei could only stand in front of the mirror with a stiff face.

Yang Jian's real purpose is to let the ghost completely enter the ghost mirror and see how this ghost can leave the mirror.

If this ghost can leave, then the other ghosts inside the mirror can also be powerful.

The atmosphere around them became oppressive.

In the dim room, the mirror with the style of the Republic of China faced the light and reflected Zhang Wei's figure clearly.

But the figure appearing in the mirror is not Zhang Wei, but a real ghost.

But this is not the first time they have seen each other.

Yang Jian is clear that this ghost temporarily belongs to the kind of existence with a very low level of danger. Even if it kills, the conditions are somewhat harsh. It needs to keep the same actions as the person outside the mirror in order to pull the person looking in the mirror into the mirror and release itself.

But such harsh conditions for killing do not make him feel relaxed.

Because this ghost is only a part of this mirror.

And this mirror, which has been sealed for at least a hundred years and deliberately preserved, must have a very special existence.

After staring at the ghost in the mirror for a moment.

Finally, the ghost completely walked into the mirror, as if it had become Zhang Wei's shadow, reflected on the smooth mirror surface.

The movement has almost become sluggish.

But at this time, one of Zhang Wei's hands started to move frantically, making various hand gestures.

Yang Jian took a glance and found that this guy was actually imitating hand seals from anime.

It was so fast that it was dazzling.

"As clever as I am, can that ghost keep up with the afterimages of my hand seals? I could already do three seals in one second with one hand in junior high school. It's impossible for it to imitate me. Today, let this ghost witness my skills."

Zhang Wei sneered in his heart, feeling proud of his outstanding talent.

The year of hard training was not in vain, and it finally came in handy today.

When Yang Jian saw his astonishing hand speed, he was stunned. He finally understood why this guy had such poor grades in junior high school and had to spend money to get into the No. 7 Middle School.

It turns out that he spent all his study time on this.

But before he could speak, Yang Jian saw Zhang Wei's other hand start to move again.

Damn it.

He can do hand seals with both hands, and they are different.

How much of a chuunibyou were you back then? How long did you secretly practice? You can even perform such difficult movements.

Fortunately, you were not born in the world of anime.

Otherwise, the big shots in the anime world would have a competitor.

"Alright, alright, stop showing off your one-handed hand seal technique and go stand aside." Yang Jian felt a headache and pulled Zhang Wei away from the mirror.

At this time, he saw that the ghost in the mirror was also imitating Zhang Wei's movements, and its stiff fingers began to form hand seals, but the speed was far behind Zhang Wei's.

"Ah? Is this enough? I prepared many contingency plans. Brother Tui, don't put too much pressure on yourself, I can handle it." Zhang Wei said.

Yang Jian said, "It's really enough, trust me."

"That's good. If it still doesn't work, I don't mind continuing to face that ghost face to face." Zhang Wei said.

After pulling Zhang Wei away, Yang Jian found that the ghost in the mirror, which looked exactly like Zhang Wei, stopped moving.

It just stood there quietly, like a photo with an imprint on it.

"You leave here first. I want to see if the ghost will disappear with you. If the attempt fails, it means the curse is still with you. In the future, don't look in the mirror and go out with your face covered, otherwise you might accidentally be dragged into the mirror by a ghost." Yang Jian instructed.

"OK, then I'll leave first." Zhang Wei immediately turned around and left.

Without any hesitation.

But after a while, Zhang Wei, who had just gone downstairs, screamed, "Who the hell has no manners and actually left a pile of shit here."

"..." Yang Jian was speechless.

Wasn't it you who forced Huoge to do it?

Now you're the one who got hit.

But as Zhang Wei moved further away, Yang Jian saw that the ghost in the mirror did not disappear, and it was still standing inside the ghost mirror.

Motionless.

The previous conditions have changed.The ghost was left in the Ghost Mirror.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jian fell into contemplation. He looked around, thought carefully, and finally came to a conclusion.

For the ghost in the mirror to leave, it must pass through another mirror.

The reason why the ghost, like Zhang Wei, left was because the previous mirror was facing the building on the construction site and was sent away by the glass on the building.

Now, the mirror is facing the wall, without a second mirror as a medium.

So, this ghost was left behind.

"If my guess is correct, then it would explain why the original owner covered this mirror with an oilcloth." Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly, somewhat understanding the original owner's good intentions.

However.

Looking at Zhang Wei in the mirror, and then thinking about Zhang Wei who had already left.

The ghost and the man were identical.

The shadow was left in the Ghost Mirror, but the person had already left.

Some kind of connection between them was not severed.

The curse was only restricted, not completely disappeared.

Looking at the large and small palm bruises on his arm, Yang Jian was very wary of this mirror.

"Take it back and ask the Human Skin Paper, it must know something."

He thought for a while, and again remembered the eerie Human Skin Paper.

In fact, if necessary, Yang Jian was not very willing to contact the Human Skin Paper, but sometimes the function of the Human Skin Paper was indeed great, and it could save lives at critical moments.

He immediately picked up the old oilcloth, covered the mirror again, and carried it away directly.

The purpose of taking it away was that he was not at ease leaving such a dangerous thing in this abandoned old house.

The wooden door had already been opened, and inevitably some curious people would sneak in in the future.

If they touched any taboos and caused a supernatural event, Yang Jian didn't want to continue cleaning up the mess.

So, this mirror was safer in his hands than in anyone else's.

As for the remaining two rooms...

He had to think of a way to preserve them for the time being and prohibit anyone from entering and leaving this ancient house at will.

At this moment.

Zhang Wei had returned to the community.

Zhang Xiangu and others had been waiting at the intersection and had not left.

"Here he comes, that kid Zhang Wei is here." Zhang Wei's uncle said happily.

"But Yang Jian didn't follow." Zhang Xiangu frowned.

Did something happen?

But the next moment, he saw Yang Jian also coming out of the ancient house, carrying something.

"What happened inside?" Zhang Xiangu asked.

Zhang Wei, who ran over, panted, "That place is indeed weird. Brother Leg said there are ghosts there. Fortunately, your son is quite outstanding and managed to survive. He's fine now."

Zhang Xiangu's face darkened, this was just nonsense.

But it's good that this kid is fine.

"Mr. Zhang, it was a close call, but Zhang Wei is safe for now. I can't guarantee the future. His connection with the ghost has not been completely severed. I can't be sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing." Yang Jian came over carrying the Ghost Mirror.

Zhang Xiangu nodded, "As long as he's safe for now, thanks to you this time. Is that house really haunted?"

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed a bit unusual, but it's safe for now. I suggest you send a construction team to renovate that house, refurbish what needs to be refurbished, maintain what needs to be maintained, and that house absolutely cannot collapse."

If this house collapses, the things in the first and second rooms will come out.

He couldn't be sure what would happen.

"Is it okay to start construction directly?" Zhang Xiangu was taken aback.

"No problem, Zhang Wei and I have walked around inside. As long as you don't open the doors of the two rooms on the second floor, there will be no danger. After all, people used to live there. But if the house is poorly managed in the future and gets soaked by rain and collapses, the problem might become unmanageable. For the sake of the future, I suggest reinforcing and repairing." Yang Jian said seriously.

"The doors of the rooms on the second floor? I see, I'll personally supervise the construction." Zhang Xiangu said, "Why not fence off that piece of land, build a temple, hide the ancient house in the temple, and invite a Bodhisattva or a Buddha to suppress the evil spirits there?"

"Anyway, that piece of land can't be demolished, it's a bit of a waste to leave it idle."

As a real estate businessman, he was somewhat superstitious.

"That's also possible." Yang Jian nodded.

Building a temple to suppress evil spirits, of course, has no effect, the main purpose is to stabilize people's hearts.

Seeing a temple standing there is always better than seeing a gloomy ancient house standing there.

And once the temple is built, it can perfectly hide the ancient house, so there's no need to worry about people sneaking in again.

"What is this? It looks like a mirror." Zhang Wei's uncle asked curiously.

He wanted to lift the oilcloth to take a look, but was stopped by Yang Jian.

"It's a very dangerous thing, it's best not to touch it, it can kill people. The two workers who disappeared before were swallowed by this mirror." Yang Jian didn't hide anything and said directly.

"What?" Zhang Wei's uncle shivered in fright.

Zhang Xiangu frowned at the covered mirror, "There's such a weird thing?"

A living person was swallowed by a mirror?

A simple sentence, but it revealed a chilling, eerie and terrifying feeling, the more he thought about it, the more creepy it felt.

"Let's go back, the construction site can start work normally now." Yang Jian said.

"If you're sure it's okay, then I'm relieved." Zhang Xiangu nodded, "Start the car, let's go back."
