His neck was strangled by the mirror monster, and the knife-wielding criminal was only three to four meters behind him. There was no time for Chen Ge to hesitate. When he saw Zhang Ya's page, he reached out to type two words — Save me!
The strange laughter in his mind grew louder. Before Chen Ge could type anything else, Zhang Peng's knife stabbed at him.
He flipped through the cupboard and tossed the trash at Zhang Peng.
His arms were slowly losing strength, and Chen Ge's neck was already slightly deformed. Even without Zhang Peng's help, he would be strangled to death by the mirror monster.
The veins popped out of his arm as he reached for his neck, but he could not feel anything. Chen Ge's last hope was on the black phone.
He turned his head to look at the phone on the ground, and a line of words popped up on the red page. "She knows your intentions. Please confirm the contents of the first promise."
At this time, even if Zhang Ya made some outrageous request to Chen Ge, he would agree to it without hesitation.
Moving his finger, Chen Ge pressed the confirm button on the screen with difficulty.
The moment his finger touched the screen, the temperature in the closed maintenance room plummeted, and cold wind blew in from all directions.
The strange laughter in Chen Ge's mind stopped abruptly. The monster behind him was shivering — it could also feel fear.
Drip, drip. The sound of blood dripping came from somewhere. The mirror monster that was pressing down on Chen Ge's back suddenly let go and slithered back into Zhang Peng's body.
The maintenance room became quiet. Zhang Peng, who was holding the knife, also noticed that something was wrong. The desperate gambler realized something was wrong. He did not retreat at the crucial moment, but instead, he raised the knife and charged at Chen Ge.
However, he only took one step before the expression on his face changed. The mirror monster forcefully took over his body and ordered him to leave.
An internal conflict broke out between the man and the ghost. As they fought, Chen Ge's shadow slowly stood up, and a bloody shirt leaned against his back.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Ya had left a deep psychological scar on them at Western Jiujiang Private Academy. When Zhang Peng and the mirror monster saw the Red Specter behind Chen Ge, they came to an agreement. Without hesitation, they turned and ran.
Without the mirror monster restraining him, Chen Ge was freed. He had been on the brink of death just now, and his heart was full of anger. How could he let Zhang Peng escape?
He picked up the hammer and was about to stand up, but to his surprise, the Red Specter was faster than him. Zhang Ya seemed to have a passion for killing. Without Chen Ge's command, strands of black hair seeped into Zhang Peng's body.
The killer's footsteps slowed down. How could Chen Ge let go of such a good opportunity? He raised his hammer and smashed it on Zhang Peng's shoulder.
The huge impact caused Zhang Peng to fall forward. Chen Ge took advantage of the momentum and aimed another hammer strike at Zhang Peng's thigh.
The scream came from the maintenance room. The mirror monster inside Zhang Peng's body knew that it was too late. It abandoned Zhang Peng and headed for the bathroom.
"Only the bathroom on the first floor has a mirror. This is bad!"
Before Chen Ge could say anything, Zhang Ya had abandoned Zhang Peng and chased after the mirror monster. This ugly monster had successfully piqued her interest.
"I need to figure out a way to cover the mirror." He looked around and grabbed the half-empty bucket of fake blood that he had used in the maintenance room and ran into the corridor.
The bathroom door swayed in the wind. When Chen Ge arrived, he saw that half of the mirror monster's body had been pierced by the black hair. It was very close to the mirror.
"This time, I won't let you escape!" Not caring whether it was useful or not, Chen Ge splashed the bucket of fake blood on the mirror.
The mirror was blocked, and the shadow paused in front of the mirror. Before it could do anything else, its body was bound by the black hair. Strands of hair pierced through it, and soon, it could not even be seen as a human anymore.
The bloody dress danced in the wind. After Zhang Ya had enough, she split the ball of shadow in half. She swallowed one half and tore the other half into pieces before blowing it at Chen Ge's face.
Shivering, Chen Ge felt something float into his eyes, and his body suddenly felt very cold.
"What is that?" Chen Ge wanted to get the answer from Zhang Ya, but after this scary Red Specter did that, she morphed into a shadow and disappeared.
The bathroom door was still swaying, but there was no trace left in the room like nothing had happened.
"The mirror monster was eaten by Zhang Ya, and part of it blew into my eyes." Chen Ge looked at the mirror in the bathroom, and it felt surreal. "Now that the mirror monster has been dealt with, there shouldn't be any more numbers on the mirror tomorrow night, right?"
Until now, he still did not understand what the numbers meant, but he had a feeling that there was a big secret hidden behind them.
Closing the door, Chen Ge took out his phone to call the police. This time, he did not trouble Inspector Lee. After all, he was not made of steel, and Inspector Lee had been working too hard for the past few days.
Blocking the door, Chen Ge looked at Zhang Peng, who was lying on the ground. When the mirror monster left his body, it seemed to have taken something with it. At that moment, Zhang Peng looked listless, and there was no light in his eyes.
"I guess this is karma."
At 6 am, Western Jiujiang's police station, the investigation team, and the park's manager gathered at the entrance of the Haunted House. The last suspect involved in the Ping An Apartments case from five years ago had finally been captured.
Seeing Zhang Peng being escorted into the police car, Chen Ge's tense nerves relaxed. He did not talk to anyone but returned to the Haunted House alone and locked himself inside the staff breakroom.
"The loose ends at Ping An Apartments have been dealt with, and the mirror monster has been consumed by Zhang Ya. My Haunted House has no more hidden threats. When the sun rises, I can open all the scenarios to the visitors." Chen Ge lay in bed and thought about the future. "The expansion of the Haunted House is imminent. If I don't expand, I won't be able to unlock the new Trial Missions. When I wake up, I'll go find Xu Shu and see if he has anything to say about renting the underground parking lot."
Closing his eyes, Chen Ge suddenly felt cold. Even though he had covered himself with the blanket, it did not help. The chill seemed to be seeping out from his eyes.
"Zhang Ya blew part of the mirror monster's body onto my face, could it be because of that thing?" Chen Ge found a mirror to look at his face. Everything was normal, but his eyes had darkened, and his pupils were like dead pools.
He looked at it for a long time, but he could not figure out the reason. Chen Ge turned the mirror upside down under his pillow and soon drifted off to sleep.
At 10: 30 am, it felt like he had only slept for a few hours when Chen Ge was woken up by his phone. He glanced at the caller ID and put it on speaker. "Xiao Wan, I don't have to work this morning. Come back in the afternoon."
