Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu looked up in surprise—she felt she had made herself clear enough; this evil spirit was dangerous and not something a level one ferryman could handle.

Once the Ling Cage is created, he won't be able to escape.

“I have a reason to deal with this evil spirit, so don’t worry about me. Creating a spirit cage is actually easier for me.”

Chen Shi said:

"From the current perspective, we have the same goal. Rather than me avoiding it, it would be more efficient for us to cooperate as we just did."

“Three people are better than one, right?” Su Yining said, then suddenly paused, “Wait, it’s two people plus Ling? Am I even considered a person?”

"Well……"

Luo Xiaoyu looked troubled. First, as a ferryman, she found it difficult to understand someone like Su Yining. Second, considering their levels and strength, she was genuinely worried about Chen Shi staying there.

Just then...

"Click-clack~"

A sudden sound of shattering glass rang out!

In the quiet classroom, the sudden shrill sound was extremely piercing, like someone stepping on shards of glass.

It's from the left!

Chen Shi immediately turned around, but all he saw on his left were shards of mirror scattered on the ground.

Suddenly...

"Click-clack~"

The sound of footsteps on the glass came again!

"right!"

Chen Shi turned around, and inspiration struck.

In an instant, a figure flashed past on the closed glass window.

The reflection, which didn't belong to anyone in the classroom, appeared out of nowhere, as if it had materialized on the windowpane.

It was like a ghostly figure.

It's an evil spirit!

Chen Shi reacted immediately, and almost simultaneously, Luo Xiaoyu and Su Yining also sprang into action, preparing to rush toward the window.

"Click-clack..."

However, the sound of footsteps on the glass rang out again.

This time, the sounds came from all directions...

Along with the sound of footsteps on the glass, there was also a faint, shrill laugh.

Laughter swept through the space without warning; it wasn't human voice, but more like someone cutting smooth glass with a knife—sharp and hoarse, sending chills down one's spine.

"What's that noise?" Su Yining realized something was wrong and immediately calmed down, looking around warily.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

The anomaly continued; the incandescent light bulbs overhead began to flicker, their light and shadow twisting and swaying with each flicker. With each flicker, the sounds of footsteps on glass and laughter grew sharper.

Chen Shi took a deep breath and looked around:

"It's a spirit cage."

Seeing that the Spirit Cage was about to be generated, Luo Xiaoyu became extremely anxious.

However, it wasn't out of fear, but out of concern for others.

"Quick...hurry up..."

Overcoming her shyness, she spoke aloud without even writing anything down:

"Now...it's still not too late!"

Her intuition told her that this evil spirit was more dangerous than she had imagined! The danger level of the spirit cage was also increasing. Just because she, a level two ferryman, could handle it did not mean that someone with Chen Shi's level one strength could survive.

Luo Xiaoyu was trying to take the blame and avoid unnecessary casualties.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the ground shook violently!

The walls, floors, and ceilings began to ripple like water.

Space shattered and reformed inch by inch, and an immense pressure swept across the entire area.

In an instant, everyone felt dizzy, and the space in front of them began to flip in an illogical way...

"The room is spinning?" Su Yining frowned.

"..."

Luo Xiaoyu looked up, her Level 2 Ferryman's intuition constantly sounding alarms, every sense telling her how dangerous this evil spirit was.

She was on high alert, but when she turned around, she saw that Chen Shi was not flustered at all. Instead, he calmly watched the spirit cage continue to be generated.

"????"

Eh?

What's up with this person?

So calm?

Chen Shi's reaction was calm. His confidence from the death rewind allowed him to remain calm at any time—since it can be restarted anyway, what's the rush?

"This scale is indeed stronger than the hospital's mourning hall."

"Hehehe..." Sharp laughter rang out from all directions.

In just a few seconds, the world was completely turned upside down.

The ground beneath your feet transforms into the ceiling above your head, while the original ceiling descends to your feet, with incandescent light tubes shining upwards.

Tables, chairs, pianos, and miscellaneous items were all hanging upside down and suspended in mid-air. Inside the spirit cage, everything was turned upside down, light and shadow were reversed, and it seemed as if even the air itself was moving in the opposite direction.

The faceless students lay sprawled on the ground, their eerie laughter echoing through the inverted space.

Not only that, the shards of glass scattered all over the floor began to come back together, piecing the full-length mirror back together without even a crack.

"The Spirit Cage has been generated," Chen Shi said calmly.

Luo Xiaoyu withdrew her shyness, and the ferryman's aura instantly became sharp.

Now that Ling Cage has been created, we must analyze it thoroughly.

This is an extremely dangerous cage, a cage that flips over in all directions.

A cage within a mirror!

Just then...

Chen Shi suddenly turned around and glared at the classroom door:

"Who's there!"

Su Yining and Luo Xiaoyu turned around at the same time and saw a tall man standing in the doorway. Because the door frame was flipped up, only his chest and above were visible.

The man didn't flinch; he just stood there quietly.

Black-rimmed glasses, mushroom haircut, smooth black hair that looked like a watermelon rind was placed on his head.

"Is that your teacher when you first entered the school?!" Su Yining narrowed her eyes and immediately recognized her.

"Sure enough, the aura of the evil spirit is so strong, he must be Hu Lizhang."

She is also the head of the choir and a member of the Blooming Flowers Society planted in the academy.

The next second, Hu Lizhang suddenly raised his hand.

"!"

Luo Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed, and her petite body shot out like a bullet, as fast as a gust of wind.

however……

Hu Lizhang flicked his fingers and snapped them:

"Snapped!"

"Den-"

Suddenly, the sound of a piano rang out!

Instantly, Chen Shi felt a sharp pain in his ear, as if something had entered his brain through his ear canal, and he lost consciousness instantly.

Chapter 64 Mirror Image

My mind was a complete mess, like waking up with a blackout after a night of heavy drinking.

My vision was filled with double images, and the halo of light made my eyes glaze over.

"Where was I again?"

Chen Shi slowly opened his eyes, his ears filled with a buzzing sound, as if he were submerged in water and could not hear anything clearly, only his consciousness was swaying.

Another instance of psychological harassment?

That was the first thing that came to his mind.

I tried to move my limbs, but my body felt detached from my consciousness and was completely out of my control.

Not only that, the line of sight is also much lower, and you can only see the corner of the dining table.

My body began to move, detached from my consciousness. My gaze swept around, and familiar surroundings came into view…

That's what the old house looked like.

The old-fashioned wooden lattice windows let in sunlight. Back then, the sun in Nanhai City wasn't so scorching, and the dim light of dusk wasn't burning.

Spots of sunlight, like scattered gold, fell on the iron railing outside the window, making the railing's texture gleam under the warm light.

The kitchen door was ajar, and the aroma of food wafted out.

As I walked forward, a familiar figure stood in front of the stove. It was a woman's back, wearing an apron, preparing dinner.

There was no noise, no strange disturbances. My restless heartbeat gradually calmed down, leaving only the sense of security and warmth that comes with the passage of time.

"Mother?"

Chen Shi called out involuntarily, and Shen Nian'an immediately turned around, her gentle eyes looking at him, her sweaty face instantly beaming with a smile.

"Xiao Shi, did you listen to your teacher at school today?"

Shen Nian'an wiped her hands, squatted down, and straightened his collar.

Chen Shi, like an audience member, quietly watched this somewhat unfamiliar memory:

"I don't want to wear this anymore, my classmates all laugh at me."

He raised his hand and handed over the bracelet.

It was still the same bracelet—woven from red cord, strung with three beads of different colors: one crimson, one jet black, and one with a crescent moon.

"Hey? Why did you take your bracelet off?"

Shen Nian'an quickly took the bracelet, holding the red string in one hand and gently supporting his wrist with the other:

"Didn't Mom say that this bracelet was obtained from Lingyi Temple? It's good for warding off evil spirits and is very effective?"

“But my classmates all laugh at me, saying that boys wear such things.” Chen Shi looked at himself and said.

“Who laughed at you? Tell your mother, and I will go to the school tomorrow and talk to your teacher.”

Shen Nian'an frowned, then stroked his forehead and smiled:

"Don't listen to what others say, just do your best."

As she finished speaking, she took Chen Shi's wrist and said softly:

"When you're little, you must keep this bracelet safe. When you grow up, you'll definitely find XX again."
