Chapter 143 To leave behind a clean reputation, it's better for them to kill me than for the society to die.

In the cramped bathroom, everyone was crammed in front of the mirror.

Zhuge Xingyun looked left and right, then looked again, and tapped it with his hand, very seriously.

"Have you figured anything out? If not, get out of here," Zhang Qingguan urged.

Liu Sheng glared at him: "Shut up."

"Hey, if it weren't for my injury, I would have beaten you two uncles and nephews like it was nothing." Zhang Qingguan was not one to take a beating. He would seize any opportunity to gain an advantage, and even if he got beaten again, he would not lose in words.

Zhuge Xingyun withdrew his hand, calmly looked at himself in the mirror, and made no further move.

"Did you even realize it?" Gu Qingyi couldn't help but ask.

With the old turtle injured, Zhuge Xingyun is the strongest among those present.

Zhuge Xingyun then softly uttered two words: "No."

Zhang Qingguan said irritably, "I didn't see anything. What are you pretending to be, grandpa?"

"I just got beaten up, can you stop pretending?" Zhuge Buliang said, covering his face.

"Let's talk outside," Zhuge Xingyun said calmly.

The group went outside the house and sat in the courtyard drinking tea.

This time, Gu Bai took the initiative to pour tea for Zhuge Xingyun and Liu Sheng.

The two did not refuse and drank the tea in one gulp.

Zhuge Xingyun frowned in thought, and Liu Sheng asked, "Besides Second Master, who else was hit by the mirror?"

"No." Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Zhuge Buliang was still rubbing his face. Strangely enough, even though he had been hit, there wasn't a single mark on his face.

"The monster inside Second Master's body isn't reacting either?" Liu Sheng asked again.

"No," Shen Gongbao's voice rang out. "I always got beaten up in the middle of the night before, I never expected it to launch a sneak attack."

"They have no martial ethics, ambushing an old man like me!" Zhuge Buliang said angrily.

Liu Sheng stroked his chin, pondering, "That's strange, why not attack others, but only Second Master?"

Zhuge Buliang's expression darkened: "What do you mean? I was beaten, and now I'm expected to reflect on my actions?"

Victim blaming?

He won't accept that!

"What I'm worried about now is whether it's recording videos while it's showering, right?" Gu Xiaojiao took a puff of his cigarette. "That's a big deal."

Liu Sheng frowned: "Isn't your focus a bit strange? This is a mystery. If we don't find it, we won't even know how we died."

Gu Xiaojiao took a drag of his cigarette: "I may not be well-educated, but I know that to leave a clean reputation in the world, it's better for the society to kill me than for me to die."

The others nodded in agreement.

Liu Sheng looked at them in astonishment: "Have you no shame?"

None of these guys, whether human or monster, have any shame.

Gu Bai was also a little worried, but after thinking about it, he was no longer worried, because he did not feel anything unusual when he took a shower.

If there were truly something fishy going on, no matter how skilled they were, it would be impossible for them to remain undetected even when their faces were right in front of them.

He's not Shen Gongbao, who sleeps all day.

Gu Qingyi blinked: "Luckily, we've been in Nanming City these past few days, and we took a shower there."

Zhuge Xingyun's face darkened further; not one of these people was mentally sound.

When discussing the mystery in the mirror, we should be discussing how to uncover it, but where has the conversation gone so far?

"Shut up, all of you." Zhuge Xingyun couldn't take it anymore and calmly said, "Second Master, do you have any special items on you, or rather, is there something strange about you that attracted the other party?"

"Ah Bao is indeed extraordinary," Zhuge Buliang said, stroking his beard. "But it shouldn't be interested in Ah Bao."

"Call them out and let us see," Zhuge Xingyun said.

"That won't do. Ah Bao is too different. He's Shen Gong Bao. You'll have bad luck if you look at him." Zhuge Buliang quickly explained, "Ah Bao brings bad luck. Whoever looks at him will be unlucky. It's better not to look at him."

Zhuge Xingyun confidently said, "With me here, just call him out."

Zhang Qingguan and the others exchanged glances and stood up together: "We'll wait for you at the door. You and your grandson can have a good chat."

They're outta here; having witnessed Shen Gongbao's prowess, they have no desire to see him again.

Gu Bai followed him out. Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't want to see that disgusting stuff and get his eyes dirty.

After everyone else left, Zhuge Buliang finally gave in, seeing Zhuge Xingyun's confident expression and insistence on watching.

Patting him on the shoulder, Shen Gongbao transformed into a streak of light and appeared outside, dressed in black pajamas and a nightcap. He yawned and said lazily, "Look around, feel free."

He was convinced, just like Zhang Qingguan, both of them were skeptical of superstition.

Zhuge Xingyun carefully examined him, occasionally touching him, and a strange aura emanated from his body, which he then channeled into Shen Gongbao's body.

Shen Gongbao did not resist and allowed him to investigate.

However, when the eerie energy reached Shen Gongbao's lower abdomen, Shen Gongbao suddenly glared, and the black mist surged, dispelling Zhuge Xingyun's eerie energy.

"What is that?" Zhuge Xingyun asked, frowning.

"My second grandfather's belongings are related to ghosts and monsters?" Zhuge Xingyun asked in surprise.

He thought it was just a token of identity, an antique passed down from his ancestors, but now it seems that it's not that simple.

Because what he sensed inside Shen Gongbao's body was extraordinary.

Zhuge Bu lit a cigarette and offered one to Shen Gongbao and Liu Sheng: "The relics and the will are all related to ghosts and monsters. I won't hide it from you, but if you can't even figure out the ghosts in the mirror, I suggest you don't touch these relics."

"Hmm?" Zhuge Xingyun raised an eyebrow.

Shen Gongbao slumped lazily in his chair: "Zhang Qingguan and the others don't know, and you sensed it too. That thing contains terrifying power. Even if you and Zhang Qingguan were together, it wouldn't be enough to stop it. I was also awakened by it back then, and now it's sealed inside my body."

Zhuge Xingyun pondered, "Could the thing in the mirror be after the relics?"

Zhuge Buliang's eyes widened: "Really? Even with Ah Bao isolated, it can still sense it?"

"What's impossible? We didn't even sense its appearance, which proves its power is above ours."

Zhuge Xingyun pondered for a moment and said, "Just conduct an experiment and give me the relics."

"Just say you want the belongings." Shen Gongbao rolled his eyes.

"Then I'll choose the items first. If I find something in the mirror, then you can tell me the will," Zhuge Xingyun said.

"That works too." Zhuge Buliang thought for a moment and agreed.

Shen Gongbao opened his mouth and spat out a round jade pendant with yin and yang fish patterns. However, the pendant was incomplete, with only the blue yang fish and the other yin fish missing.

Zhuge Xingyun asked in surprise, "Incomplete?"

"It's incomplete. The clue to the other half is in the will." Zhuge Buliang flicked his cigarette ash. "If you can figure out the 'mirror in the mirror,' then I'll tell you. If you can't, then don't even think about it."

"Could you tell me about my second master? He seems to be extraordinary," Zhuge Xingyun said.

Zhuge Buliang thought for a moment and said, "His main body went on a long trip, and what was left at the orphanage was just a medium clone, which is something the director and the others do not know."

Liu Sheng chimed in, "Is Second Master very strong?"

"I don't know about that. When I saw him, he was already close to death," Zhuge Buliang sighed. "He wrote it down in his will, but I didn't read it much; I hid it."

"I understand, I'll find what's in the mirror."

Zhuge Xingyun looked at the jade pendant: "If the ghost in the mirror is after this jade pendant, he will definitely come looking for me."

"What if it isn't?"

"Then you'd better be careful, Second Master, it has its eye on you."
