That night, the sky grew dark again...
"Let's go."
I still remember the scene from my first ghost hunt after becoming a Dream Soul Master. I was really scared, my whole body stiff with fear. And that person, his presence was always my source of reassurance.
"Sha."
I called out suddenly, and Sha seemed taken aback, looking at me with a bit of stiffness.
"Relax, we haven't had a chance to talk since we met again."
Walking down the quiet street, I tried to lighten the mood and not dwell on everything that had happened before. Unfortunately for Sha, he quickly became the target of everyone's teasing.
"Miss, Sha is just a block of wood—oh no, no, no, a stinky and hard rock! His expression never changes; he’s even less cute than Tong. If you want him to talk, you might as well let Tong tell a joke," Shun said with a smile.
"Hiss—!" Tong spat out the core in his mouth, startling Shun into covering his mouth immediately.
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to talk, then why get so worked up?" Shun pouted.
"Not me."
Hmm? Who said that? I didn't catch it clearly.
"Oh my god, Sha, that wasn't you speaking just now, was it?!" Shun looked as if he had seen a miracle, his eyes wide open.
"Stone," Sha suddenly blurted out.
A silence fell, as if no one understood what Sha meant.
"Miss, what Sha means is that he is not a stone," Zhi said, pursing his lips and smiling slightly. Zhi's true form was a crane, exuding an exceptional aura, embodying a gentlemanly nobility. His smile made him even more attractive. However, there was always a sense that he was different from the other three, deliberately keeping his distance from me.
Sha nodded.
"Miss, you may not know this, but Sha never jokes. He takes everything we say seriously and listens very attentively," Zhi continued.
"Hehe, hehehehe..." I couldn't help but laugh. The other three joined in quietly, except for Sha.
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
"Dong, stop laughing; it's truly unpleasant and makes one feel all tingly," Shun said with a look of disdain at Dong.
Dong pretended to lunge at Shun again, who jumped back far away. The two chased each other around, easing the tension of the quiet night.
"Miss, we have been together for countless years. Although each of us has our own story, we are not much different from blood relatives. Following you is our destiny; however, please do not harm any of them. Otherwise, Zhi will not stand by idly," Zhi said as he walked over to me and spoke softly.
I looked at him; his face still wore that noble smile.
"As long as you truly follow me, I will not let anyone harm you, including myself." My tone was somewhat cold. I admitted that Zhi's words made me uncomfortable; he did not trust me.
"Miss—"
Ignoring the voices behind me, I strode forward. The sudden abnormality didn't make me angry at the deceased, but rather made me feel that I was ultimately too weak.
……
“Ah, ah, ah—!”
Suddenly, a woman's scream pierced the air, echoing and spreading around us.
“Something's wrong, miss, be careful!” Shun was the first to stand in front of me.
“Shun, there's no need for that. If I keep relying on you all for protection, I won't make any progress. Moreover—” I glanced at the deceased and chose not to continue.
Swiftly I located the source of the sound.
A woman, plump and weighing about a hundred kilograms, had Golden Curly Hair. She wore a Pink Skirt and had a face heavily made up with cosmetics, her white face and red lips looking extremely ghastly, more terrifying than a ghost. If it weren't for her human aura, one might think she was a female ghost.
The woman lay on the ground, twitching uncontrollably, seemingly terrified by something.
A mirror?!
There was a mirror placed beside her right hand, reflecting an eerie glow under the moonlight.
“Shun, Si, Dong, Sha, step back.”
I summoned my Bone Flute and shouted, “Thunderous Strike!”
Suddenly, a muffled thunder struck the mirror!
“Monster, reveal yourself!”
A stream of White Mist slowly rose from the shattered mirror.
Goodness, seeing the monster in the mirror made my lips tremble, but thankfully I maintained my composure.
The four people behind me shuddered simultaneously, their mouths stiffly pulling into a grimace.
“That’s terrifying!” Shun exclaimed loudly.
Indeed, it was a hundred times scarier than that Pink Skirt Woman. It looked like a giant Meatball, with sparse hair on top and a face painted with what seemed like layers of grease. It wore what appeared to be a white dress, occasionally swaying stiffly in the wind.
However, I still couldn't tell if it was male or female...
“Why do you disrupt my true form?!” Meatball spoke.
...It was a female voice.
“Mirror Demon, do you know the Three Realms Law? How dare you trespass into the human realm and harm humanity!”
“And what if I do?!”
“What if? I’ll send you to hell!”
"Little Doll, let's see if you have what it takes!"
"Fire Tongue—"
"Replicate!" The Mirror Demon swiftly dove back into the mirror.
The mirror instantly healed and rose into the air.
The attack I launched was immediately reflected back at me!
"Miss, this Mirror Demon is quite cunning; any attack you make will be reflected back at you," said Zhi from the side.
"Is that so? That sounds like a bit of a hassle."
"Little Doll, I told you that you wouldn't succeed."
"You ugly creature, how dare you speak to the miss like that! I'll take you on!" Shun shouted as he stepped forward.
"Stop it, Shun," I commanded.
"Miss!" Shun protested unwillingly.
"Am I really that weak?!"
I knew that ever since returning to the human realm, my strength had greatly diminished.
After cutting off contact with Little Pink, even those Underworld Beasts seemed to have vanished completely. There is no Nether Energy in the human realm, and my body has been significantly restricted.
Now, all I have left is Pure Sound and the Bone Flute.
But so what? I was already a person with nothing; I could start over. Besides, I still have something!
"The Smile of the Spider Lily." Since attacking isn't working, let's try this.
Without Nether Energy to support it, this piece doesn't seem as powerful, but it still has an effect.
"What... what is this?!"
After all, it is an item of the Yama Queen from the underworld, and its ruthless nature remains.
"Ah, ahhh!" The Mirror Demon was forced out of the mirror, and the glass began to shatter bit by bit.
"Bang!"
It shattered...
The Mirror Demon’s round body collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
With its level in the underworld, it was merely at the Reaper rank, not enough to pose a threat to me.
"Mirror Demon, your true form has been destroyed. Let me send you to hell," I said.
"Why? I have never harmed anyone." The Mirror Demon raised its round head, looking at me with tears in its eyes.
"Don't make excuses. That woman almost lost her life because of you," Shun said disdainfully as he walked over to us.
This Little Sprite was indeed not enough to catch their attention.
"I didn't! I didn't! I was trying to help them!" the Mirror Demon shook its head desperately.
I shook my head at Shun to stop him from speaking. I squatted in front of the Mirror Demon and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Those girls are looked down upon and despised because they are overweight, living every day in their own world filled with insecurity. Just like me, I am also unwelcome in the Underworld, unable to survive, which is why I decided to escape and hide in the human world. Because my own powers are weak, I have never dared to do anything bad. I hide in mirrors every day, and whenever a fat girl looks into a mirror, I tell her that she is the most beautiful, giving her confidence," the Mirror Demon sobbed.
"What about the woman lying over there?"
"This... I just slightly confused her will for a moment and taught her about makeup. Who knew she wouldn't accept it when she woke up..."
"Look at your own face! With your taste, what do you know about makeup? You turned a perfectly good human into a ghost!" Shun scoffed.
"Mirror Demon, whether or not you have harmed the human world, I cannot let you stay here. It is my duty."
"No, no, no! I don't want to go to hell!"
"Miss, stop wasting time with it. Hurry up and send it to hell!" Shun said.
This Mirror Demon is weak; once sent to hell, it probably won't last long. As for whether it will be obliterated or reincarnated, I don't know.
"What do you think?" I looked at the other three.
"Let the lady decide," Shi said.
"Hell," Dong Zancheng replied.
Sha remained silent, but frowned.
"Sha, what are your thoughts?"
After a long silence—
"How to escape from the Underworld?" Sha finally asked.
The Mirror Demon trembled all over, its eyes starting to panic, and its expression became unstable.
Indeed, how could the Mirror Demon, with such power, easily escape from the Underworld? If it were a ghost in Hell, there might be a slight chance of escaping on the way to reincarnation, but it would be extremely slim. However, when it comes to the Underworld, with the Mirror Demon's level, it was simply impossible.
"I, I—"
"Speak!" Shun also sensed something was wrong and grabbed the Mirror Demon's thick arm, causing it to shout in distress.
"It hurts, it hurts! It was Siyimo who opened a small passage where Hell connects to the Underworld and released many ghosts. She... she made us Plague in the Human Realm, but I really didn't mean to! I just wanted to find a place to hide!"
It's over; this is bad. The worst thing I feared has happened!
“Siyimo has released how many?!” I asked anxiously.
“It's unclear. The entrance is small and extremely well-hidden, but it's estimated that at least a million monsters have escaped.”
“Damn it!”
“Tell me the route, and I'll go find them!”
“At midnight, Eerie Energy is at its peak. Follow the moon south until you reach a place with the strongest Evil Energy. However, there will definitely be countless demons and monsters along the way.”
“Siyimo is determined to maintain non-interference among the three realms. Now, we can only save ourselves.”
“Miss, it's time to act,” Shishi reminded.
That's right. Since this is related to Siyimo, I don't need to feel sympathy for you!
“Respected God of Hell, the one hundredth generation Dream Soul Master Xi Meng is here to fulfill my duty and send the Faceless Ghost to hell. The night sings, the moon dances, all things are no longer silent, light covers darkness, and dawn is approaching. Gates of Hell, open.”
Amidst the wails, the Mirror Demon was sent through that green door leading to hell.
Thus, the rules of the three realms cannot be ignored.
“Miss, what do you think about this matter?” Shishi asked.
“We'll talk about it when we get back; it's almost dawn.”
Sitting on the bed, I watched as the sky began to lighten.
"This won't be that simple," I sighed.
"That's right, Siyimo has already started to take action," Zhi agreed.
"I'm afraid it's not just those she has released; there are some who have long been lurking in the human realm."
"Now we can only find that entrance as soon as possible."
"Sigh, my Soul Energy is not what it used to be. I don't know how much longer I can hold on," I said, pulling the blanket over myself, not wanting to think any further...
"Miss, don't worry. We'll find a way," Shun comforted.
"Just rest well... Miss, please don't mind what I said back then," Zhi remarked.
"What did you say to the miss?" Shun asked.
"Shh—let the miss sleep for a while," Zhi whispered softly.
Gradually, their conversation became quieter, until I could no longer hear them...
