Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Separate

It was just a second.

Yang Jian appeared on a pedestrian walkway three kilometers from the KTV.

A red light flashed.

Three people materialized out of thin air.

Fortunately, there were few people on the streets at night, and nearby pedestrians didn’t pay attention; otherwise, it would have caused a panic.

“That was a close call, just a false alarm, but I hope this way we can completely shake off that ghost. As for whether the others at the KTV will be unlucky enough to be haunted by that ghost, that’s not something I can worry about anymore.” Yang Jian thought to himself.

“Miao Xiaoshan, it’s all right now.”

Miao Xiaoshan was still shaken, looking around at the familiar scene.

It was the same when she left school, appearing in a different place in the blink of an eye.

With the experience from last time, she accepted it much quicker this time.

“Where, where is my cousin?” Miao Xiaoshan searched anxiously.

Yang Jian pointed towards the green belt: “Over there, I’ve already brought him out.”

Seeing Shangguan Yun scared and paralyzed sitting there, though in a disgraceful state, at least he was alive and away from the mirror.

“Thank you, thank you, Yang Jian.”

At that moment, she finally couldn’t hold back and burst into tears in Yang Jian’s arms.

Although she was a survivor of supernatural events, Miao Xiaoshan was after all a girl.

She hadn’t grown as fast as Yang Jian, didn’t have Zhang Wei’s natural thick skin, and certainly couldn’t compare to Zhao Lei’s courage, daring to investigate supernatural events alone.

The fact that she survived, just like Wang Shanshan, was simply due to having slightly more luck than the other girls in her class.

So her heart was still very fragile, full of fear.

Seeing Miao Xiaoshan throwing herself into his arms, hugging him, and weeping, Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her, and just let her hold him that way.

“Thank you, Yang Jian, thank you.” Miao Xiaoshan held on tightly, thanking him through her sobs.

“It’s okay, no need to thank me, I just lent a hand casually.” Yang Jian said.

Miao Xiaoshan continued to cry while holding onto him.

Passersby glanced curiously but didn’t make a fuss, assuming it was just a lover’s tiff, nothing unusual.

After a while, when Miao Xiaoshan’s emotions stabilized a bit, she wiped the tears from her eyes, looked up and said, “Sorry, I’ve made your clothes dirty with my crying.”

“It doesn’t matter, letting out your emotions is a good thing. At least crying it out will make you feel a bit better.” Yang Jian said, “I’m glad that you’re hugging me and crying, not cuddling up to your cousin and crying.”

“Would you be jealous if I cried hugging my cousin?” Miao Xiaoshan asked him, her voice tinged with melancholy.

Yang Jian said, “No, I’m afraid your cousin might think you’re a ghost and get so scared that he runs onto the highway and gets hit by a car. Then my effort to save you would be for nothing, wouldn’t it?”

“But looking at him now, even if he didn’t die in the mirror, he will probably suffer a huge psychological shadow, especially when he sees your situation. So, stay away from your cousin from now on. Don’t scare him suddenly. If he goes mad by accident, don’t blame it on me.”

“Now that you’re safe, call your parents to pick you up. It’s already late, so head back and rest early. This event is over. According to my estimation, that ghost shouldn’t come for you again, but just to be on the safe side, you should still stay away from any mirror. If you can’t avoid it, at least don’t stand in front of it for too long.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Miao Xiaoshan nodded.

“I’ll go check if your cousin has been scared silly. He’s been sitting there motionless since just now, which doesn’t seem like a good sign.” At this point, Yang Jian walked over and nudged the big cousin.

Shangguan Yun suddenly snapped back to reality, grabbing Yang Jian’s hand in a panic, “Where, where did that ghost go? Where is it?”

“Who knows where it went, as long as it’s not near us, that’s enough. You haven’t been scared silly, have you?”

Yang Jian patted his face and held up his middle finger, “What is this? Do you know?”

“One.”

Shangguan Yun said, “But why would you specifically lift your middle finger?”

“It looks like you’re quite normal, not scared silly. That’s a relief to me.”

Yang Jian said, “You better go home early if there’s nothing wrong. Walking around at night is dangerous, especially for an unlucky person like you. Look at Zhang Wei, the chosen one, the lucky guy, he beat a ghost in rock-paper-scissors for an entire evening without even a tie.”

“If he had tied even one round that night, the person entering the mirror wouldn’t be you, but him.”

Saying this, he marveled at the guy’s incredible luck.

The ghost had already overlapped with Zhang Wei’s shadow and even resembled Zhang Wei, except for the critical point of mimicking his movements.

The ghost must have been trying to imitate his actions, but would never have guessed that Zhang Wei would play rock-paper-scissors with a mirror.

And no one expected Zhang Wei to win all night long.

Unable to mimic the actions perfectly, the ghost couldn’t replace Zhang Wei and enter the mirror.

So Zhang Wei was safe and sound.

“You mean, that was really a ghost just now? There really are ghosts in this world?” Shangguan Yun’s fear had not faded as he asked.

Yang Jian smiled, “You already know very well, don’t you? And you still ask me? Luckily this ghost was somewhat special, not the kind that indiscriminately kills people. Otherwise, not to mention rescuing you, it would have been a question whether the rest of us could leave alive.”

“This time you encountered me, next time you’re on your own. There are many supernatural events in this world, and what just happened was a trivial incident. I hope you don’t encounter a major supernatural event; otherwise, it won’t be so easy to escape.”

Shangguan Yun was stunned, “This, this isn’t just a coincidence? How come I’ve never heard of such things before?”

“Look at them, they don’t know either.” Yang Jian pointed at the passersby.

Got it~!

Shangguan Yun, as a grown man, instantly understood the meaning of Yang Jian’s words.

He, like other ordinary people, was kept in the dark, and today he was just unlucky enough to come into contact with the supernatural events that you can never encounter in normal circumstances.

“`

I was fortunate to have seen a real ghost.

“Yang Jian, my parents are here, I might have to go.”

At this moment, Miao Xiaoshan walked over and hesitated before speaking.

Yang Jian patted Shangguan Yun’s shoulder, “Take Miao Xiaoshan back with you. I hope there will be a chance to see you, my great cousin, in the future. It’s a blessing to be safe and sound these days, cherish the opportunity to have survived.”

“Thank, thank you,” Shangguan Yun said.

“No need, just don’t come to me if there’s trouble next time,” Yang Jian said with a smile, giving him an early heads-up.

“I understand, I caused you trouble this time,” Shangguan Yun nodded.

At this time, a car had already stopped by the side of the road, and a middle-aged man stood by it calling out, “Xiao Shan, Shangguan Yun, aren’t you leaving?”

“My father is urging me,” Miao Xiaoshan said to Yang Jian.

“Then what are you waiting for? Go back,” Yang Jian said.

Miao Xiaoshan said, “I will be leaving Dachang City in a few days. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“Nothing at all. Do you have anything to say to me?” Yang Jian asked in surprise.

Miao Xiaoshan struggled for a moment, her face suddenly reddening as she said, “For what happened today, thank you so much.”

“How come you’re saying thanks again?” Yang Jian said.

“Let me finish speaking. I’ve been admitted to college, and after four years of study, if by then you still don’t have a girlfriend, I… I can be your girlfriend. If you have a girlfriend by then, just pretend I never said this,” Miao Xiaoshan said, her face now even redder.

She said this and left quickly, turning around and walking away briskly.

Yang Jian touched his head, furrowing his brow.

What did Miao Xiaoshan mean by that?

Wait a minute… Oh my god, in Miao Xiaoshan’s eyes, am I really such a pathetic person that I can’t find a girlfriend in four years and have to settle for what’s nearby?

Fortune can change in thirty years; don’t mock a young man for not having a girlfriend.

I must prove to Miao Xiaoshan that I can do it.

He made a commitment to himself.

Soon

Yang Jian hailed a taxi and prepared to head back.

But at this time, in the restroom of that KTV from before.

The once empty restroom mirror once again showed a figure.

This time, however, the figure no longer resembled Miao Xiaoshan but had reverted back to Zhang Wei’s appearance.

In the mirror, it turned and walked towards the depths of the glass, gradually disappearing, and then vanished completely into the pitch-black darkness around the restroom’s corner.

Afterward, in which mirror will it appear again?

No one would know.

But to come out of the mirror, it definitely needs to find a person standing in front of a mirror as a replacement.

In the entire Dachang City, anyone standing in front of a mirror could potentially become the target of this ghost.

“Damn, where is this? I’m lost.”

After running out of the KTV, Zhang Wei wandered aimlessly, clueless about which alley he ended up in.

“Brother Tui, you can’t blame me for abandoning you. I’m really lost. I can’t help you with the ghost, and going there would just make me a useless fish, not even having a chance to shout ‘666’.”

“Boss, maybe?”

At that moment, a woman in a strappy dress and heavy makeup suddenly called out.

Zhang Wei looked left and right and asked, “Are you talking to me?”

The woman laughed, “You’re joking, boss. It’s just you here, of course I’m talking to you.”

“…Legit?” Zhang Wei asked.

“Of course it’s legit, this is the most legitimate place.”

Zhang Wei said, “The normal ones I don’t go to. Who the hell goes to legit places?”

“Boss, don’t go, we’re not legit here, not legit,” the woman called after him, holding on to Zhang Wei.

“You should’ve said it’s not legit earlier. What do you all have here?” Zhang Wei asked in a low voice.

“We have everything here,” the woman said again.

Zhang Wei said, “You have everything, that impressive?”

“Sure, of course we do,” she replied.

While laughing, the woman pulled Zhang Wei inside with her.

Zhang Wei said, “I don’t mind if it’s a bit pricey, but let me make it clear, I have high standards for hardware. The tactile feeling and hand-feel must be good, and the sound has to be clear and three-dimensional. Especially important is to hear footsteps clearly.”

“Right, and absolutely no smoking,” Zhang Wei added.

“If you don’t smoke, no one will smoke here, we only have private rooms.”

“That’s good then.”
