My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 165 The Nightmare of Gazing Through a Mirror, A Towering Figure

The three of them walked together toward Building 25. As they walked, Dong Qi said with a hint of ingratiation:

“These past few days, I’ve been inexplicably entering that dream every night. I’ve tried changing my accommodation and changing rooms, but nothing works…”

Master Ke surveyed the night view of the neighborhood and casually said, "It's alright. As soon as I saw you, I knew you were being haunted by some evil spirits. But these evil spirits are like mice before a cat when they see me."

"Don't panic. Let me use some tricks to make sure all those things disappear completely, so you can sleep well tonight."

Dong Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Thank you, Master Ke, thank you, Master!"

Master Ke smiled slightly, "No need to thank me. I take people's money and do their bidding. Besides, I've seen many cases like yours. Solving them is a piece of cake and won't take much effort."

Dong Qi thanked him repeatedly, but then noticed that Huang Tian remained calm and silent, which made him feel uneasy again.

To be honest, he trusted Master Ke more than Huang Tian. The reason was simple: Huang Tian didn't even accept a deposit and had an extraordinary demeanor, so he couldn't possibly be a swindler.

This Master Ke, though seemingly quite capable and constantly assuring him that he could easily resolve his troubles, only made him more skeptical...

However, he couldn't tell whether Master Ke was truly skilled, and since this matter concerned his own life, he dared not voice any doubts.

"This is it..."

As Dong Qi entered Building 25, went up to the second floor, and arrived at the door of Room 201, he was about to take out his key to open the door when he suddenly heard a gasp.

Looking back, it was Master Ke. He took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the door and see into the room.

Dong Qi was startled by his solemn expression and stammered, "Master Ke, w-what's wrong? Could it be that inside..."

Master Ke's expression was solemn as he slowly shook his head. "Just now downstairs, I used my divine eye to examine your body and only saw some bad luck clinging to you. I thought you had just attracted some ordinary evil spirits."

Upon reaching the door, they finally saw the evil creature inside! Its malevolent aura was incredibly strong! It was no easy opponent!

He stretched out his right hand and began to calculate, "That evil creature inside has killed at least a dozen people. It's extremely vicious and troublesome!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Qi was startled and exclaimed excitedly, "Master, please help me! I'll give you any amount of money!"

Master Ke coughed, "Since you're so sincere, I can't bear to see you die in vain. Don't worry, even if it costs me ten years of cultivation, I will definitely help you get rid of this evil thing!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" Dong Qi thanked him repeatedly.

"Alright, open the door!"

Master Ke gave an order and took out a compass-like object from a small bag he carried with him.

Dong Qi swallowed hard, took out his key, slowly turned the lock, and pushed the door open to enter.

The three of them stepped inside, and as soon as they entered, they felt a chill, as if they had stepped from the blazing sun into a cold storage room, which made them shiver involuntarily.

Master Ke felt a chill run down his spine. 'How can there be such a big temperature difference just through a door? Could there really be something evil going on?'

He was secretly uneasy. In all his years in this line of work, he had never encountered a real evil spirit. Most of the time, it was just that the clients were too anxious or weak, which caused them to hallucinate. He would go there, pretend to do something, and then take the money and leave.

But this time, it seems a little different…

He nervously scanned the room. It was a small room with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom; you could walk around it in a couple of steps. After looking around, he didn't find anything unusual, except that the room was a bit cold. Everything seemed normal.

He finally relaxed a little, chuckling to himself, 'What kind of demons and monsters are there in this world? I was just scaring myself. And I'm supposed to be in this line of work!'

Dong Qi didn't dare to speak at first, but seeing that Master Ke's brows had relaxed a bit, he leaned closer and asked, "Master, you...you can..."

Master Ke nodded, "Don't panic, I already know what I'm doing. Allow me to cast the spell!"

"Okay, okay," Dong Qilian said. "Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"No need, I've prepared everything needed for the spell. You just need to watch from the side with that young man."

As Master Ke spoke, he placed the compass-like object on the living room table, then took out three incense sticks from his bag, lit them, held them in his hand, bowed upwards, and chanted incantations.

Dong Qi watched Master Ke's movements with trepidation, fidgeting nervously.

Huang Tian then scanned the room with his divine sense, only sensing a lingering chill; the nightmare was not there. 'It seems it won't come until Dong Qi falls asleep.'

Thinking this, he looked at Master Ke, who had already taken out a short peach wood sword from his bag. Holding the peach wood sword, he strode around the living room, the sword slowly dancing.

"Heaven and earth are natural, the foul air dissipates, the cave is mysterious and vast, the primordial energy shines brightly, the mighty spirits of the eight directions enlighten my mind..."

Muttering to himself, Master Ke walked from the living room to the kitchen, then from the kitchen to the bathroom, circled around, and returned. He pointed his sword at the floor and shouted.

"The evil will dissipate, and the Dao Qi will remain forever!"

Only then did he stop. He slowly sheathed his sword, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead. His body swayed slightly, revealing his deep exhaustion.

Dong Qi leaned forward, his eyes shining with anticipation. Master Ke let out a long breath, "I have killed this evil creature. From now on, I guarantee you will eat well and sleep soundly!"

Dong Qi was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Master Ke shook his head and remained silent, only looking at him. Dong Qi realized that it was time to pay the final payment.

However, he wasn't quite sure if he would re-enter that dream tonight. If he paid now and still ended up in the dream, then...

Thinking this, he couldn't help but hesitate. "Master Ke, I... I wonder if I can transfer the money to you tomorrow morning? I don't have that much money on hand right now. I'll borrow some more tonight."

Master Ke knew perfectly well that Huang Tian didn't quite trust him. He coughed and was about to say something when Huang Tian suddenly spoke up: "Go to sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Qi suddenly felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over him. He felt dizzy and staggered back two steps before collapsing onto the sofa in the living room. The next second, he started snoring.

Master Ke was dumbfounded. The peach wood sword in his hand clattered to the ground, and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

'A master?! Someone can put someone to sleep with just one sentence?! Are there really such masters in the world?!'

Meeting Huang Tian's gaze, he felt his legs go weak and he knelt on the ground with a thud. "Master Huang, I...I..."

Before I could even produce something, the environment inside the room changed completely.

The clean white walls were now speckled with paint, patches of plaster were peeling off, and the floor was covered in scratches and bloodstains. The tables and chairs in the room were old and looked like they would fall apart if you pushed them. There was a damp smell in the air, as if you were in a sewer.

Master Ke stared in disbelief, his teeth chattering, "An evil... an evil thing?!"

He then remembered that he had come to exorcise evil spirits; so there really are evil spirits in this world?!

As Master Ke's worldview crumbled, Huang Tian turned to look at Dong Qi, who was fast asleep on the sofa, and his gaze flickered...

"Hiss~" In the cramped bathroom, Dong Qi was brushing his teeth in his pajamas.

The bathroom was brightly lit, almost too bright, with a glaring white light that was a bit dazzling.

His face was reflected in the mirror of the sink, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

More and more foam appeared in his mouth, so he took a sip of water and gargled.

at this time.

"Thump~"

A very soft, very soft sound came from behind the closed bathroom door, like the sound of heels gently tapping on the floor.

Dong Qi paused, his scalp tingling as if it were about to explode, and he instantly realized what was happening.

'Am I dreaming? I've entered a dream again?!' An overwhelming fear suddenly rose in my heart.

"Thump~"

There was another sound, clearer and closer than before, right behind the door.

It wasn't a continuous sound of footsteps, but rather slow, intermittent steps, with a damp, sticky feel, as if stepping on a thick, water-soaked carpet—eerie and heavy.

Dong Qi seemed to be nailed to the spot, only his eyes moved extremely slowly, staring intently at the image reflected in the mirror. The white wooden door was tightly closed, and the darkness outside shone through the gap at the bottom of the door.

His throat was dry, and he wanted to struggle and shout, but from the moment the strange footsteps appeared, an inexplicable force made him unable to move, and he could only stare in vain at the mirror and at the door.

"Thump~"

Another sound, almost touching the door panel, and a blurry figure pressed tightly against the back of the door, sending a chill down his spine.

squeak~
The door was slowly pushed open a crack, and a pale hand covered in bruises came into view.

Dong Qi held his breath, his teeth chattering. At this moment, he even wanted to look away, to scream, to smash the mirror, hoping that he could escape from the dream. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch and could only watch helplessly as the door was pushed open wider and wider.

The gap is widening, from two fingers to a palm.

A face was pressed against the widening crevice of darkness.

Her long, wet hair, as black as ink or like seaweed entwined in the deep sea, completely covered her face. Water was still dripping from the ends of her hair, one drop, two drops... dripping onto the tiled floor, leaving a few dark wet marks.

Behind the long hair that obscured her face, a faint paleness could be glimpsed.

The door was still being pushed open, the gap getting wider and wider, until it was almost halfway open.

A cold, damp wind blew in from outside the door, bringing with it a strong, sweet, rotten, and fishy smell, somewhat like the astringent smell of rust from old water pipes. The smell hit Dong Qi's nostrils.

As the wind blew, the figure's wet hair moved very slightly, revealing an eye.

Those eyes were bloodshot, with dense, bright red veins covering the entire white of the eye, so shockingly red that they looked as if they were about to bleed.

Its pupils were unusually large, devoid of any human emotion, merely a greedy gaze, unblinking, fixedly fixed on Dong Qi's eyes reflected in the mirror.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Looking into that bloodshot eye through the mirror, Dong Qi felt as if his soul was about to leave his body. The intense dizziness made him forget everything, leaving only one thought: "Escape! Escape!"

He struggled desperately, trying to roar.

At that moment, the eye in the mirror suddenly opened wide!
Blood vessels bulged menacingly, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints before suddenly dilating to fill his entire eye sockets. The greedy and venomous look in his eyes sent a chill down Dong Qi's spine.

The door was pushed open wider, and the thick darkness behind it spread in. The bathroom light flickered violently twice before dimming, as if it had been swallowed up by the encroaching darkness.

And the disheveled woman, along with the darkness, slowly entered.

Her long, wet, jet-black hair covered her face, her neck was deathly pale, and her dress, half white and half red, looked like it had been soaked in water, dripping water continuously and leaving watermarks.

Getting closer, getting closer...

As the woman's reflection in the mirror drew ever closer, Dong Qi's pupils contracted to their limit. His vision blurred, his ears rang, and the extreme fear finally managed to break free of his restraints, forcing out a gasp, "Ugh...uh..."

However, he could only let out low gasps, and his whole body remained unable to move.

"hiss!"

With a roar, the woman pounced on him like a shadow.

Dong Qi's eyes widened in horror. "Am I...am I going to die?!"

Suddenly, the fear and despair in my heart turned into utter shock.

Because the woman who was rushing towards him froze instantly!

Through the mirror, Dong Qi could clearly see that a tall figure had appeared behind the woman at some point.

The figure stood there, as tall as a mountain, with a cold gaze. He grabbed the woman's thick hair with one hand and forcefully pulled her back to her original position from mid-air!

Moreover, as the tall figure appeared, the bathroom lights immediately stabilized and returned to their original brightness, illuminating the bathroom brightly.

'Huang Tian? Master Huang!!'

Dong Qi finally remembered that he had invited two masters to save him, but this memory seemed to have been obscured, which was why he hadn't thought of it until now. Now that he saw Huang Tian's figure, that memory immediately surfaced.

Then, he couldn't help but exclaim in his mind, 'This...this isn't in my dream! How did Master Huang get in?!'

As he stood there in a daze, the woman who had been pulled down from mid-air also paused, glancing through the mirror and seeing the figure behind her.

With a roar, it turned and pounced on Huang Tian without hesitation.

Huang Tian remained expressionless, then suddenly yanked its hair, forcefully pressing it face down onto the ground, its head slamming into the tile with a loud thud!

The sound seemed to make the bathroom light flicker.

Looking at the woman who had fallen to the ground, Huang Tian raised his fist. Five-colored light flowed on the tip of his fist, so dazzling that it completely overshadowed the bright white light!
The woman felt the fear of death and struggled violently, but that punch, aimed at her head, came crashing down like a landslide in the blink of an eye!
"boom!!"

With a bloodcurdling scream, this dream world shattered like a mirror under the overwhelming aftershocks of the punch...
