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

"Right now."

She showed no mercy, swinging her silver chain to wrap around Hu Lizhang's waist, and before he could land, she forcefully pulled him back.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she swung her red-tasseled spear forward, piercing straight through Hu Lizhang's chest!

"cough!"

Hu Lizhang was pierced through the chest, blood flowed out, and he stopped breathing within seconds.

"Whoo~"

Luo Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, ferrying spirits and killing bad guys is much easier than talking to strangers.

With a tremor of her hand, she shook Hu Lizhang's body off the tip of the gun.

However, a shadow appeared again from behind.

"!"

Luo Xiaoyu turned around in surprise and saw another Hu Lizhang standing behind her.

"Doppelganger!?"

In the blink of an eye, the ruler fell sharply!

Chapter 68 Reversing the Future (Please read on Tuesday)

"I heard right, it must have come from this building."

In the mirror, Chen Shi is running swiftly down the corridor.

The cage of this evil spirit is very large, covering the third to fifth floors of the complex, with the choir classroom on the fourth floor.

Just now, he suddenly heard fighting sounds coming from the fifth floor, so he hurriedly rushed upstairs.

"This direction..."

Chen Shi ran forward with his head down, hoping he wasn't too late.

However, the closer you get to the fifth-floor restroom, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.

A bad feeling crept into my heart.

Continuing forward, a familiar figure came into view.

It's Luo Xiaoyu.

"!"

Chen Shi's pupils trembled, and he couldn't help but exhale a heavy breath.

Luo Xiaoyu was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. A horrifying wound ran through her chest, staining her white cheongsam red with blood. The dark red blood flowed all over her body, as if covering her petite frame with a blanket.

She was silent, her eyes were even open, her arms were crossed over her chest, and she was curled up in a ball.

"How could this be..."

Chen Shi felt a chill in his heart. In his memory, Luo Xiaoyu was very skilled. As a fellow Level 2 Ferryman, her skills were even more impressive than Zhang Chengkang's.

How could he die after only a few minutes?

He stepped forward, and although he already knew the answer, he still checked Luo Xiaoyu's breathing.

"..."

Looking at the girl who had stopped breathing, it felt as if a needle was piercing my heart.

Chen Shi had indeed only met Luo Xiaoyu recently, but he knew that when dealing with students who were mentally disturbed, Luo Xiaoyu would carefully avoid all vital points to prevent harming innocent people.

He also knew that Luo Xiaoyu was worried that his level one strength would lead to his death before the Spirit Cage was about to be generated, so he dissuaded her despite his timidity.

She's a good girl and a good ferryman.

Seeing vibrant lives perish before his eyes, Chen Shi instinctively feels heartache, especially someone as upright as him.

"Ok?"

He frowned, and upon closer inspection, he noticed that Luo Xiaoyu was still holding something in her hands.

"Excuse me."

Chen Shi gently pushed Luo Xiaoyu's hands away.

In Luo Xiaoyu's arms, one hand held a handbook and the other held a ferryman's token... or more accurately, a hamster plushie covered in patches hanging on the token.

She clutched the hamster plush toy tightly, blood streaming down her wrist and staining the toy red.

"She hung this hamster plushie on her token, patching and mending it without ever replacing it, so it must be very important. Or, it was a gift from someone very important."

That's probably why he kept holding it until he died.

But this handbook...

Chen Shi suddenly remembered something, picked up the handbook, and turned to the last page with writing on it.

As soon as it was opened, a photograph fell out—it was a photo that had fallen after the person in the mirror was dealt with.

"really!"

Three lines of text were written crookedly on it:

The displayed rules are incorrect, on the contrary.

[After the paranormal investigation, the photos show the situation as normal at first, and then as shown.]

Hu is very strong, possesses a magical artifact, and has the ability to control distance and create a doppelganger. Be careful.

This is the message Luo Xiaoyu left for him!

Apart from top-tier ferrymen like Jiang Liu and special spirits like Su Yining, once a spirit cage is generated, it is impossible to enter or leave. This information could only have been left by Luo Xiaoyu to him, who was also a ferryman.

There were no extra words of advice, only key information about Ling Cage and the enemy.

Chen Shi remained silent for a while, then finally stood up and sighed.

There was no other way; he truly couldn't bear to see vibrant lives vanish before his eyes.

Just like when he saw a female high school student committing suicide by jumping into the river through a precognitive letter, he would still save her—even though he never saw her again afterward.

"It's just a matter of dying once more."

Chen Shi made up his mind, strode to the bathroom mirror, and then slowly turned around.

If even this kind of death cannot be reversed, then what's the point of him having death rewind?

"Giggle..."

A shrill laugh, like chalk scraping against a blackboard, rang out. The shadow behind him began to twist, and features sprouted from his pale face, his mouth twisting into a savage grin and his eyes bulging out.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of hands stretched out, their arms suddenly extending!

The next second, Chen Shi's head was instantly pierced through.

……

……

It's like suddenly sinking into the deep sea, unable to breathe, unable to feel anything, as if your connection with the world has been severed.

He was all too familiar with the feeling of death.

Because I am most familiar with death, I don't want anyone around me to die with resentment.

Oxygen was refilled into the lungs, and all sensations returned.

"Oh--"

Chen Shi took a deep breath, and the overturned emergency exit was right in front of him.

The time travel was successful, and he returned to the corridor.

"Go upstairs!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Shi burst through the door and ran upstairs.

Having learned from the previous experience, he ran swiftly and skillfully. Just as he passed the glass window, a pair of withered white hands suddenly stretched out, extending infinitely like snakes, twisting and reaching for him.

"Don't block the way."

Chen Shi dodged immediately and simultaneously threw out the rope...

However, those hands moved extremely fast, twisting ninety degrees in the air without any hesitation, as if breaking bones, and clawing at him fiercely.

"So fast."

Chen Shi immediately dodged and rolled away to avoid it.

With enhanced inspiration and the added benefit of the "No Illness Ribbon," regressing twice a day was almost no burden for him.

He tried to subdue the evil spirit with the rope, but the spirit had the advantage of space. Every time he threw the rope, its hands would stretch out and pull it open. One hand would be caught, and the other hand would immediately wave.

"No, we can't waste any more time."

Chen Shi calculated the time, his gaze sharpening as he looked at the glass window.

[School Rule 3: Please do not damage mirrors; keep the mirror surface intact]

Moreover, Su Yining had previously mentioned that a withered hand reached out from the warehouse, and Luo Xiaoyu immediately withdrew it after breaking the mirror.

"Break the mirror."

Chen Shi acted decisively, retracting the rope and focusing on dodging. His inspiration was fully awakened, and he could vaguely see a thread connecting the glass.

He took a step forward, leaping out from between the two withered arms, his right arm bandaged, and punched the window hard.

"Bang—!"

The glass shattered instantly, cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

"babble!"

The evil spirit let out a wail, its hands twisting and turning as it retreated back into the mirror.

At the same time, Chen Shi saw a blurry, shapeless shadow fleeing through the broken glass.

Following the direction the shadow fled, a figure appeared in the second glass window not far away, and continued to move, passing through the glass windows along the corridor.

"Is the space behind the mirror connected to the evil spirit? The mirror spirit..."

Chen Shi made a mental note of it and immediately rushed to the fifth-floor restroom.

……

At the same time, at the bathroom door, Luo Xiaoyu swung her red-tasseled spear forward, instantly piercing through Hu Lizhang's chest!

Blood gushed from Hu Lizhang's chest, his glasses were askew, and after coughing a few times, he stopped breathing.

"Whoo~"

Luo Xiaoyu blew a breath, shook her small hand like she was shaking water, and shook Hu Lizhang off the tip of the gun.

However, a dark figure slowly appeared from behind, silently, as if it had appeared out of thin air. Only when it got close did it suddenly release its killing intent.

Luo Xiaoyu was startled and turned around abruptly:

"Doppelganger!?"

In an instant, Hu Lizhang raised his hand and swiftly thrust the ruler into her heart!

Luo Xiaoyu still wanted to fight back... Silver chain? Not enough time. Red-tasseled spear? Too far to use it.

There's nothing more we can do.

As a second-level ferryman, Luo Xiaoyu immediately realized that she was doomed to die.

But there's another ferryman in the spirit cage, and that kind-hearted sister who should be considered friendly. At least we should leave behind the information we already know.

Death is nothing to fear, but hope must be left to the living—this was her understanding as a ferryman.

"Well……"
