Chapter 237: Chapter 229: Person in the Mirror (5) (5000 words)_3
[Person in the Mirror, Trembling with Fear (High), Completed, 900 points of Different Dinsion Energy obtained.]
Yan Junze still felt so palpitations as he stood there, the strength of the Mirror Spirit had completely exceeded his imagination, at least at the Sculpting Spirit level. However, fortunately, as long as he escaped the Mirror World, it would be fine.
Moreover, now that the task was completed, the woman’s body had indeed left the Mirror World as desired, but He Zheng…
Yan Junze looked down at He Zheng, whose face had turned a ghastly shade of cyan and whose body was already beginning to grow cold, feeling an indescribable sensation in his heart.
Although the Exorcist before him was his first collaborator after joining the ranks, he hadn’t expected this guy to act first, ending up dying miserably right in front of him. He wondered how he was going to explain this to the higher-ups later.
What was most important was that Yan Junze had no idea what the relationship between He Zheng and He Yun was.
After thinking for a mont, he raised his hand, which still held the palm-sized little mirror.
The Mirror Spirit had clearly been very concerned about this item, though Yan Junze didn’t know why he was puzzled.
Suddenly, as he looked at the small mirror, he saw that the mirror no longer reflected his own shadow but was instead a chaotic darkness, as if surging with so undercurrent, extrely sinister.
Just one glance, and it seed as if a pitch-black head appeared within the mirror, roaring fiercely at sothing outside the bounds, nearly causing Yan Junze to lose his composure, almost snatched away by the thing inside the mirror. Frightened, he quickly turned the small mirror around, not daring to look again.
“What is this? It seems like… a Mirror Spirit?”
Yan Junze stared blankly at the back of the mirror in his hand, sowhat astonished. He didn’t understand when the Mirror Spirit had entered this small mirror.
Perhaps sothing abnormal had happened while he was leaving the Mirror World.
But at the mont, it was unknown.
“As long as I don’t look at this mirror, it should be fine,” Yan Junze hesitated for a mont, then placed the small mirror in his coat pocket.
He then turned his head to look around the shop and eventually set his gaze on the dressing mirror in front of him. He saw that the mirror had begun to crack, inch by inch, making a cracking sound.
Not long after, with a crash, the entire mirrored surface completely shattered, falling onto the dressing table.
This world within the mirror, it can be said, was completely destroyed.
However…
Yan Junze looked down at his coat pocket. The small mirror in his pocket had apparently taken the place of the dressing mirror that had just been destroyed.
After tidying up the bodies of the woman and He Zheng, arranging them neatly, he found two pieces of grey cloth used to cover furniture and covered the bodies with them.
Yan Junze dialed He Yun’s number, and as soon as He Yun answered, without waiting for Yan Junze to speak, she asked, “I’ve been trying to call He Zheng, but he hasn’t been answering. What’s the situation over there? Have you dealt with it?”
“It’s taken care of,” Yan Junze replied. “But this Exorcist nad He Zheng didn’t wait for to arrive, he took action on his own.”
“Ah! He’s okay, right? This guy, I told him he had to stick with you,” He Yun’s tone obviously beca more anxious.
Yan Junze was startled, sensing sothing different, and after a mont of thought, he ventured, “He Zheng, he’s not just a colleague to you?”
A bitter laugh ca from He Yun, “I’m sorry, I kept it from you before, he’s actually my younger brother, a sowhat talented but impatient two-star Exorcist, sotis he doesn’t understand his own limits.”
“Ah…” Yan Junze now understood and sighed, “Doing this… you could harm him.”
“Where is he now?” He Yun asked.
“Have the staff co clean up the site, the strangeness here has been dealt with, but you should brace yourself.”
Yan Junze couldn’t directly tell He Yun over the phone, so he prepared to make a direct visit to the Exorcist team’s office.
After hanging up, guessing that He Yun must have already surmised, Yan Junze also felt sowhat heavy-hearted. He left “Bedroom Companion” furniture store and told the security guard at the stairwell that the strange event had been resolved, but the store needed to be temporarily sealed off, with no one allowed near until the Exorcist staff arrived for cleanup.
The security guard quickly thanked him but seed puzzled as to why the first young man who went in had disappeared without a trace.
When he ca out, it was already past ten, and the streets were scarcely populated, with even fewer taxis than usual.
Yan Junze managed to hail a taxi after so difficulty. The driver was very cautious and didn’t imdiately unlock the door to let him in but asked so questions. After Yan Junze responded fluently, and the driver made it clear he wouldn’t leave the city or enter alleys, just stop on the main road, he agreed to let Yan Junze in.
Due to the ergence of Lin Qiao, the number of Exorcists in the city had drastically decreased lately, leading to so strangenesses not being resolved in ti and seemingly sprouting up overnight, so people were becoming quite apprehensive.
Of course, they didn’t know that this was due to the appearance of the Spirit Bridge causing a shortage of Exorcists, and they simply thought that the increase in strange events was too much for the Exorcists to handle.
Soon, the taxi stopped on People’s Road, a main thoroughfare, just like the driver had said—he wouldn’t turn into any alleys.
The Exorcist team’s office belonging to Tianng was indeed located in Benefit Alley off People’s Road, in an old-style office building with a sign “Tianng Records Bureau No. 6” hung outside, which made it look like just an ordinary local agency to the uninford.
After the taxi stopped on People’s Road, Yan Junze paid the fare, got out, and walked toward Benefit Alley. Just as he turned into the alley, a van erged and turned onto People’s Road, speeding off in the direction Yan Junze had co from.
As the vehicle passed by, Yan Junze glanced briefly—in the passenger seat there was soone, and the back window was opaque, making it hard to see clearly, but there were definitely more than two people in the car.
These were likely Exorcist team mbers dispatched to clean up the “Bedroom Companion” store’s site.
Reaching the old office building with the Records Bureau sign, he showed his hexagonal badge at the duty room and was told to go straight to the fourth floor.
Unexpectedly, although the exterior seed very old, the interior decor was quite new. Yan Junze took the internal elevator to the fourth floor and stepped out into a spacious office.
He looked ahead and saw at least five operators seated there.
Two were answering calls while another two stood beside one of the female operators, seemingly offering words of comfort.
This woman wore a striped, form-fitting blouse and a blue knee-length skirt. Her hair was neatly arranged as she leaned over her desk, her shoulders trembling slightly, obviously sobbing.
