In the mirror, the reflection of a young woman wearing fine silk pajamas appeared. Her hair was kind of ssy, her face pale and still stained by tears. It was her own reflection.
She still held the talisman with one hand as she stroked her hair with the other. She only relaxed after seeing her reflection doing the sa movents. But if she was the only one in the mirror and there was nothing else around, it ant she was alone in the bathroom. Then where had the shower noise co from?!
She turned to look at the showerhead. It seed to have been just turned off, with water still dripping onto the ground, making the dripping sounds that echoed in the empty bathroom.
There really was no one else inside, unlessit was soone invisible!
She shifted her feet and suddenly felt a chill underfoot. Looking down, she noticed the drain was completely blocked. Cold water had accumulated on the ground and she had stepped into it with her bare foot. The water had appeared too suddenly and was especially chilly. An uncomfortable and numbing sensation spread from her foot, causing her body to tense up.
Furthermore, despite being alone, she kept getting the feeling sothing was behind her!
Sothing was definitely wrong here! Although she didnt have a Yinyang Eye, she had experienced too many supernatural events, and had long since started being able to sense certain things!
Sothing seed to flash near the corner of her eyes. She wasnt able to see it clearly, but sothing was definitely moving behind her. Xiao Xias heart clenched as she realized it was the source of the bathrooms weirdness! She froze before slowly walking forward a few steps, the water swishing underfoot. Then, she suddenly turned around.
A woman was stroking her hair in the mirror.
The face was her own, but she knew that wasnt her! She had been getting more and more afraid, and was currently holding the talisman with one hand while the other hand braced her wrist. She didnt have a third hand to stroke her hair with! Those movents where hers from a minute ago. The mirror was unexpectedly replaying that scene.
Shocked, she stared blankly at the image. At that mont, another head poked out from behind her. It was like it grew from her shoulder. Long hair, bleeding from every orifice, tongue hanging out and a pair of resentful eyes!
At the sa ti, her reflection in the mirror changed, turning into that woman!
Restrict!
Xiao Xia finally chanted the final word in the spell, pointing forcefully towards the mirror. With a crack that shattered the darkness, the mirror split into pieces, the shards exploding towards Xiao Xia like bullets.

She didnt move, allowing the broken glass to shoot past her like small flying daggers, striking the area behind her. When the mournful screaming stopped, she slowly turned around. The shards were all stuck into the wall opposite the mirror, forming an indistinct human shape. The shape was covered in spots of brown that looked to be congealed blood!
Xiao Xia copied Bao Da Tong and ford a hand seal. She actually didnt know how to use it, and was rely acting in order to scare her opponent. She knew that woman hadnt left yet. If she ran now, she would leave herself open to a counterattack.
Who are you? She asked loudly.
The response ca as a sudden sob.
What do you want? She suppressed her shivers upon hearing the crying and asked again.
Wash.damn filthy.wash A womans voice ca intermittently.
Wash? Was that woman just here to shower, and not to harm her? Was she just unlucky, and ended up coincidentally encountering these weird events? But did spirits need to shower? Or had she done sothing related to showering while she was alive, or had she really needed a shower?
Xiao Xia hadnt figured out what to ask next yet when water suddenly burst from the tap. Xiao Xia was quite so distance away and it shouldnt have reached her, but the faucet seed to have angled itself towards her. Xiao Xia was completely soaked. The sudden shock caused her false courage to instantly collapse.
She instinctively ran to the door, casting another water spell at the sa ti. She had only one talisman and her hand seal was also fake. However, since she was using the water spell and there happened to be a bunch of water, she was actually able to use the spell. A small spout of water ford, shooting towards the human figure.
With a crack, the ceramic wall was split by the seemingly weak water spout. The woman cried out again, the shards of glass falling to the floor. They floated in the water that was pooled on the ground!
You are an accomplice. That woman yelled resentfully. You will die miserably! Her scream beca shrill, not only forcing Xiao Xia to cover her ears but even shattering the bathroom lights, plunging the surroundings into darkness!
Splash
The sound of water suddenly rang out, rippled lightly brushing against Xiao Xias ankles. It told her sothing had also stepped into the water, and was approaching her step by step. She couldnt see anything in the dark. Only the floating shards of glass glimred with faint light. They looked more like eyes that glared at her from every angle!
FilthyI want to showeryou are an accomplice The womans voice echoed in the darkness.
Xiao Xia almost fainted from fear, but she maintained her last bit of consciousness. Gritting her teeth, she took a large step to her right, groping blindly towards the predetermined location. The table lamp by the bathroom door suddenly turned on. Warm yellow light illuminated a small hemisphere, driving away part of the darkness.
Xiao Xia used the light to sprint back to the bad, pulling out a large stack of talismans from the bedside table. She randomly took one and aid it towards the darkness.
Whoever you are, whatever your grievances, please stay away from . I cant help you! The tal elent talisman in her hand gave her so courage, but her voice still sounded a little timid. If you bother again, dont bla for being impolite!
No one responded. However, the sound of water ca from the bathroom again.
Xiao Xia sat on the bed and hesitated for a while. She wondered if she should wait for daylight or go to the bathroom and drive her away. She heard rumors about so hotels being haunted, but she had always assud those were the smaller and older ones. Who would have thought paranormal activity could also occur in five star hotels? She didnt know whether her luck was just awful or her birthdate was truly so inauspicious. Whatever the case, these things always happened to her. Now that man was no longer by her side, so she was powerless to help no matter how unjust the case was. Yet if this was an evil spirit seeking to do harm, she would have to deal with it herself!
Making up her mind, she got up and cautiously approached the bathroom door. Raising the talisman, she chanted,Vajra body, Buddhas warding aura, dispel evil!
This ti, she ruthlessly made up her mind to defend herself. Therefore, her heart and mind were both focused. Once the spell was cast, a burst of clanging noises rang out from the bathroom. A faint golden glow flashed within and the numbing and chilling feeling inside completely vanished.
Xiao Xia let out a long breath, knowing that the woman had left. She wearily turned on all the lights in the room and returned to the bedside. Randomly pulling on a shirt, she thought about what to do.
Based on the might of her five elent spells, the bathroom was definitely damaged. Getting charged for it was no problem. He Fu Gui was very casual about money anyway. She had been left to arrange everything during their trip, including the various expenses. But should she tell He Fu Gui about this matter? If she were to tell him, how should she phrase it? He Fu Gui seed intent on staying here a few days. If she didnt say anything, should she at least change rooms? What would her excuse be? Even if she moved to a different room, would the female ghost leave her alone?
Xiao Xia finally decided to tell He Fu Gui what had happened for her own safety. She had seen him light incense and pray, although his object of worship was weirdly a pair of embroidered shoes. He even offered a bowl of rice mixed with animal blood. It was clear he was extrely superstitious. If she told him about the female ghost who wanted a shower, he might leave imdiately. That way she would be able to avoid this matter.
The man who had broken her heart had once said spirits couldnt stray far without a vessel.
Having co to a decision, she felt a little more at ease. She inadvertently glanced towards the curtains. Her thoughts suddenly stirred. She stood up and walked to the window. After mustering up her courage, she pulled the curtains open slightly and peeked outside.
Outside the window was the hotels anity area. There was an enormous swimming pool surrounded by beautiful flora. It was the middle of the night so there werent many people around. Yet Xiao Xia still noticed sothing weird at a glance.
A woman was hanging in the tree across from her window. Her body hung limply like a cloth bag, swaying in the autumn breeze. As Xiao Xia was peeking, she happened to turn around!
Xiao Xias room was on the fifteenth floor and she was also a little nearsighted. Spotting the hanged woman should have been a struggle to begin with, yet at that mont, she was actually even able to see the face clearly: long hair, bloody orifices, hanging tongue, it was the woman from the bathroom!
Shocked, Xiao Xia hurriedly hid behind the curtains. However, she felt she would miss sothing and peeked out again!
The hanged womans eyes had initially been closed. Yet they suddenly opened at that mont. Her bloodless lips moved as if she was saying sothing, yet Xiao Xia couldnt hear or understand her.
Ding dong
Soone rang the doorbell, causing her to jump. She leapt for the bed to grab the talismans. While she scrambled, there was a splitting knocking against the door.
Honored guest, please open up. Did sothing happen?
It turned out to be a staff mber!
Honored guest, were coming in! The mans voice rang out again.
Xiao Xia hurriedly called out in response, stuffing the talismans into her bag. She had just finished when the door was opened.
Seeing Xiao Xia standing by the bed looking panicked, her clothes in disarray and her hair still dripping wet, the male staff in charge of security seed a little confused. He glanced at the woman next to him, whom Xiao Xia recognized as so sort of manager.
Excuse , Miss Yue, right? The won was very professional and knew Xiao Xias na. Apologies for disturbing you. Our staff heard very loud noises coming from this room. The guests next door also heard strange noises. To confirm Miss Yues safety, we ca to check things out. Did you need any assistance, Miss Yue?
Xiao Xia glanced towards the door, seeing three security guards behind the two people. Outside, several guests were also poking their heads out curiously. She realized how startling the noises from the bathroom had been and decided to go along with it.
I dont now. I was asleep and suddenly heard water coming from the bathroom. I went to look and the shower turned on by itself, soaking in water! Xiao Xia recalled, her fear completely authentic. She vented all the unease she had felt earlier. I ran out in fear and then heard another loud noise coming from the bathroom. I dont know what happened! The last part was a lie, but her expression completely convinced the staff.
Are you injured? The female manager glanced at the open bathroom door and gestured at the security guards. The three imdiately got into formation and surrounded the bathroom doorway. The bathroom only had one entrance, and wasnt connected to the outside. As long as the doorway was guarded, if there was a culprit inside, they definitely couldnt get out.
Im fine, but the lights in there suddenly exploded. Xiao Xia recalled the shattered glass, with an eye reflected inside each piece, and couldnt help but shiver. This is too weird. Is your hotel perhapsunclean?
Xiao Xias honest appearance also scared the female manager, but she knew the door was still open and worried about the hotels reputation. She hurriedly gave the security officer a glance.
Ill send soone to investigate. It might very well be so electronics malfunctioning. As you know, its possible for switches and taps to malfunction. If that is the case, let apologize on the hotels behalf for the fright, Miss Yue. We will definitely give you an explanation.
She spoke expertly and the security officer hurriedly dispersed the other custors at the sa ti. Xiao Xia heard him tell the others that due to operator error, the bathroom lights had blown out. Then, he spoke into his walkie talkie before returning to take charge of the investigation.
The results were as Xiao Xia expected. After the light bulbs were replaced, the staff discovered a ss in the bathroom. The mirror was shattered, the pieces falling far away. It was physically impossible to explain. The walls and floor were covered with gashes. The extent of the damage definitely wasnt sothing the delicate Miss Yue was capable of.
I also heard a wons voice saying she wanted to shower. No onedied here before, right? Xiao Xia added so fire to the staff mbers doubts.
Everyone at the scene turned pale. No one had died at the hotel before, but Miss Yue didnt seem to be lying and the scene was there for them to see. Could it be a haunting?
Let us give you a new room so you can rest properly first. The situation was too sudden and abnormal. The shrewd and capable female manager and the tough-looking security officer also didnt know how to handle it. They could only try and redy things first. But we must ask that you not spread word about this matter for now. Our hotels service has always been good. If our reputation gets ruined due to so malfunctioning electronics, wewe ask for your understanding. Once we discuss things, we will give you a satisfactory resolution.
Xiao Xia knew it wasnt their fault so she didnt make things difficult for them. She straightforwardly agreed and imdiately changed rooms. Once everything was done, the sky was brightening. She happened to run into the excited and tired He Fu Gui returning with his four bodyguards.
What happened? He Fu Gui asked.
Xiao Xia felt the bodyguards didnt need to know about this matter and pulled him to the side, speaking in his ear, I encountered a ghost.
He Fu Gui imdiately stiffened. At the sa ti, Xiao Xia felt a wave of discomfort and dizziness. She felt it was extrely cold near He Fu Guis ear, as if sothing was blowing wind next to it. His reaction also seed a little too extre.
