Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 141: Separately

Just a second.

Yang Jian appeared on a sidewalk three kilometers away from the KTV.

A flash of red light.

Three people appeared out of thin air.

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

"It was a false alarm, but I hope this can completely get rid of that ghost. As for whether the other people in the KTV will be unlucky and haunted by that ghost, it's not something I can care about," Yang Jian thought to himself.

"Miao Xiaoshan, you're safe now."

Miao Xiaoshan looked around in a panic, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

It was the same when she came out of school. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in a different place.

"Where's my cousin?" Miao Xiaoshan hurriedly asked.

Yang Jian pointed to the green belt. "He's over there. I've already brought him out."

Miao Xiaoshan saw Shangguan Yun sitting there in shock. Although he looked pathetic, at least he had survived and escaped from the mirror.

"Thank you, thank you, Yang Jian," she finally couldn't hold it back and threw herself into Yang Jian's arms, crying.

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

She didn't grow up as fast as Yang Jian, didn't have Zhang Wei's thick skin, and couldn't compare to Zhao Lei's courage to investigate supernatural events alone.

She was only able to survive like Wang Shanshan because she had a bit more luck than the other girls in her class.

So her heart was still very fragile and fearful.

Seeing Miao Xiaoshan crying in his arms, Yang Jian was stunned. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he just let her cry.

"It's okay, no need to thank me. I just helped out casually," Yang Jian said.

Miao Xiaoshan continued to cry in his arms.

Passersby glanced curiously, but didn't interfere. They thought it was just a couple having a quarrel, nothing strange.

After a while, Miao Xiaoshan's emotions stabilized a bit. She wiped her tears and looked up. "Sorry, I've dirtied your clothes with my tears."

"It's fine. It's good to let out your emotions. At least you'll feel better after crying," Yang Jian said. "I'm glad that you're crying in my arms instead of crying in the arms of your big cousin."

"Would you be jealous if I cried in my cousin's arms?" Miao Xiaoshan looked at him softly.

Yang Jian said, "No, I'm just afraid that your cousin would mistake you for a ghost and get scared, and then run onto the road and get hit by a car. Then my rescue would be in vain."

"But judging from his current state, even if he didn't die in the mirror, he would still have a big psychological shadow in the future, especially considering your situation. So you should stay away from your cousin in the future and don't scare him suddenly. If he goes crazy by accident, don't blame me."

"Now that everything is fine, call your parents and let them come pick you up. It's already late today, so go back and rest early. This matter is already over. According to my inference, that ghost shouldn't come looking for you again. But just to be safe, you should stay away from any mirrors. If you can't avoid them, don't stand in front of them for too long."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Miao Xiaoshan nodded.

"I'll go check if your cousin is still in shock. He's been sitting there motionless since earlier, and it doesn't look good," Yang Jian walked over and pushed his big cousin.

Shangguan Yun suddenly woke up. He grabbed Yang Jian's hand in panic and asked, "Where, where did the ghost go? Where did it go?"

"Who knows where it went. As long as it's not around us, it's enough. You're not scared, are you?"

Yang Jian patted his face and raised his middle finger. "What's this? Do you know?"

"One," Shangguan Yun said. "But why did you specifically raise your middle finger?"

"It seems like you're perfectly normal and not scared. That's a relief," Yang Jian said. "It's fine, go home early. It's dangerous to walk around at night, especially for an unlucky person like you. Look at Zhang Wei, the chosen one, the son of destiny. He played rock-paper-scissors with the ghost all night and didn't even tie a single round."

"If he had tied at least one round that day, it wouldn't be you who entered the mirror now, but him."

Speaking of this, he was amazed by that guy's luck.

The ghost had already merged with Zhang Wei's shadow and even changed its appearance to look like Zhang Wei, except for the synchronized movements.

The ghost must have been imitating his movements, but who would have thought that Zhang Wei would play rock-paper-scissors in front of the mirror.

And what's even more unexpected is that Zhang Wei won all night.The action cannot be consistent, and the ghost cannot replace Zhang Wei and enter the mirror.

So Zhang Wei is safe.

"You said, that was really a ghost? Are there really ghosts in this world?" Shangguan Yun asked in shock, still with a lingering fear.

Yang Jian smiled, "Aren't you already clear about this? Do you still need to ask me? Fortunately, this ghost is quite special, not the kind that indiscriminately kills people. Otherwise, not only would I not be able to save you, but it would also be a question whether the rest of us could leave alive."

"This time you encountered me, but next time you'll have to rely on yourself. There are still many supernatural events in this world. Just now was just 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 a coincidence, right? Why haven't I heard about these things before?"

"Look at them, they don't know either." Yang Jian pointed to the passing pedestrians.

"I understand now!"

Shangguan Yun, as an adult, immediately understood the meaning of Yang Jian's words.

He, like other ordinary people, had been kept in the dark. Today, he was just unlucky and unexpectedly came into contact with a supernatural event that he could never touch under normal circumstances.

He was fortunate to have seen a real ghost.

"Yang Jian, my parents are here, I might have to leave."

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

Yang Jian patted Shangguan Yun's shoulder. "Take Miao Xiaoshan back. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again with my cousin in the future. It's a blessing to be safe and sound in this day and age. Cherish the opportunity to survive."

"Thank you, thank you." Shangguan Yun said.

"No need, just don't come looking for me if you have trouble next time." Yang Jian smiled and gave him a heads up in advance.

"I understand. I caused you trouble this time." Shangguan Yun nodded.

At this time, a car had already stopped by the roadside, and a middle-aged man stood beside the car and shouted, "Xiaoshan, Shangguan Yun, aren't you leaving?"

"My father is urging me." Miao Xiaoshan came to Yang Jian and said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go back." Yang Jian said.

Miao Xiaoshan said, "I'll be leaving Dachang City in a few days. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"No, is there something you want to say to me?" Yang Jian asked in surprise.

Miao Xiaoshan struggled for a moment, her face suddenly turned red. "Thank you for what happened today."

"Why are you saying thank you again?" Yang Jian said.

"Listen to me, I'll be going to college. It will only take four years. If by then you still don't have a girlfriend, I... I can be your girlfriend. But if you have a girlfriend, then forget I said anything."

Miao Xiaoshan blushed even more as she said this.

"I'm going back now. You should go back and rest early too."

After speaking, she turned around and left quickly.

Yang Jian touched his head and frowned.

What did Miao Xiaoshan mean by that?

Wait... Oh my god, in Miao Xiaoshan's eyes, am I really such a pathetic person who can't find a girlfriend in four years and has to settle for second best?

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't underestimate a young man without a girlfriend.

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

Soon, Yang Jian hailed a taxi and prepared to go back.

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

The mirror, which was originally empty, once again showed a figure.

But this time, the figure in the mirror was no longer Miao Xiaoshan, but had turned back into Zhang Wei.

At this moment, it turned around and walked towards the depths of the mirror, gradually getting farther away, and then disappeared into the deep darkness at the corner of the restroom.

Where will it appear in the mirror next?

No one will know.

But in order to come out of the mirror, it must find someone standing in front of the mirror as a substitute.

Anyone in Dachang City who stands in front of a mirror could become the target of this ghost.

"Damn, where am I? I'm lost."

After running out of the KTV, Zhang Wei ran around aimlessly, not knowing which alley he had stumbled into.

"Brother Tui, you can't blame me for abandoning you. I'm really lost. I can't help you with ghost stuff. Even if I go, I'll just be a useless person, without even the chance to say '666'."

"Boss, want a massage?"

At this moment, a heavily made-up woman in a suspender dress suddenly called out.

Zhang Wei looked around and asked, "Are you talking to me?"

The woman smiled, "Boss, you're joking. You're the only one here, of course I'm talking to you."

"A massage... Is it legitimate?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Of course, it's legitimate. This is the most legitimate place."

Zhang Weidao said, "Who the hell would go to a legitimate massage parlor?"

"Boss, don't leave. Our place isn't legitimate, not legitimate." The woman quickly grabbed Zhang Wei again.

"Why didn't you say it wasn't legitimate earlier? What do you guys have here?" Zhang Wei asked in a low voice.

"We have everything here." The woman replied.

Zhang Weidao asked, "You have everything? That's impressive. Can I play PUBG here?"

"Yes, of course."

The woman laughed and led Zhang Wei inside.

Zhang Weidao said, "I don't mind if the price is a bit high, but let me make it clear, I have high requirements for the hardware. The tactile feedback and hand feel must be good, the sound must be clear and three-dimensional, and it's especially important to hear the footsteps."

"Boss, you really know how to play. We guarantee your satisfaction. And don't worry, no one will come to inspect here."

"Right, absolutely no one can smoke when I'm playing PUBG." Zhang Weidao said.

"If you don't smoke, no one will smoke. We only have private rooms here."

"That's good."
