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

A rustling sound came, like bones and flesh regrowing and reconnecting.

Chen Shi suddenly looked back and saw that Hu Lizhang behind him had also stood up again, his head, which had just been pierced, had healed again, and he stood there sinisterly.

"Damn, I feel like you're more like a vengeful spirit."

Chen Shi's eyebrows twitched. Why were all the members of the Prosperous Flower Society so inhuman?

At the same time, Luo Xiaoyu seemed to have thought of something and whispered:

“His doppelganger… should be killed at the same time… otherwise the other one will regenerate.”

Presumably due to the urgency of the situation, Luo Xiaoyu didn't write anything, but her voice was so soft that one had to bend down and lean in to hear her.

"That's easy, you go first and I'll go last."

Just as Chen Shigang finished speaking, Hu Lizhang suddenly snapped his fingers.

The next second, the heavy piano music fell like a hammer blow:

"Thump—!!"

Chen Shi's mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't help but stagger.

It's another case of psychological harassment.

He made a quick decision and immediately wrapped the rope around his wrist to suppress the supernatural effects and force himself to stay awake.

At the same time, both Hu Lizhang pressed the scales, the one in front instantly closing in, while the one behind created distance, continuously pressing the ruler, moving backward like a ghost, disappearing into the corridor in the blink of an eye.

This guy plans to use the immortality of his doppelganger to delay one of them while the other escapes.

I have to say, bro, your escape method was pretty novel. Out of 10, I'd give it a 7.

"We can't let him hold us back."

Chen Shi made a decisive decision and said:

"If we can't kill him now, we won't linger, Run!"

He was clever. Since he couldn't kill the doppelganger alone, he decided to deal with what he could first—eliminating the Mirror Spirit.

Luo Xiaoyu made the same judgment. With a swing of her silver chain, she forced Hu Lizhang back a few steps. Taking advantage of the other party's distraction, she and Chen Shi ran directly into the stairwell.

"Two bodies, must be killed simultaneously, this is a bit tricky."

Running into the stairwell, Chen Shi carefully put away the hoisting rope.

Looking to the side, Luo Xiaoyu was fiddling with a handbook one moment and standing on tiptoe the next, looking very unnatural—she wasn't used to interacting with strangers yet.

"Relax, I'm not going to eat people."

Chen Shi chuckled and said:

“That Hu Lizhang is troublesome. We'd better deal with the Mirror Spirit and the Spirit Cage first. And it's not just the Doppelganger and the Ruler; he seems to be able to control some kind of musical music, just like that…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly looked up and tilted her head slightly:

"Well?"

"What's wrong? Wait, you didn't hear the music, did you?" Chen Shi noticed something was wrong.

Sure enough, Luo Xiaoyu nodded, then took out a notebook and wrote:

“You suddenly spaced out just now. It was the same in the dance studio. As soon as the watermelon-headed guy appeared, you inexplicably ran out, and I couldn’t keep up with you.”

"Only I can hear it? No, it's that mental interference can only target one person at a time, like the Soul-Eating Tuning Fork."

Chen Shi immediately realized what was happening, but at the same time, he had another question:

"Was that music from Hu Lizhang's magical artifact? Or something else that's still hidden?"

Even though Hu Lizhang wasn't around, that thing was controlling the students, but the Spirit Cage didn't have any related "rules," which was already very suspicious.

The most urgent task is to find Su Yining.

"Luo Xiaoyu, um... can I just call you that?" Chen Shi lowered his head.

"Mmm." Luo Xiaoyu nodded her head vigorously a few times.

Perhaps seeing that Chen Shi was having some trouble speaking with his head down, she deliberately stood on tiptoe to make herself appear a few centimeters taller.

Chen Shi couldn't help but chuckle—who would have thought such a cute girl would use a red-tasseled spear to skewer people like barbecue?

"You're a Level 2 Ferryman, your intuition should be stronger than mine, can you help me find my senior?"

He said:

"It's that very special spirit."

"Well……"

Luo Xiaoyu pondered briefly, as if assessing the feasibility of introducing a spirit into her vicinity.

But when she thought about how Chen Shi had saved her, she finally nodded.

"call--"

Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tilted her head slightly to the side.

In her inspiration, countless threads intertwine and converge, forming a net within the spirit cage.

In the net weaving, there is one thread that stands out from the crowd and is quite special.

It's Sister Ling.

Luo Xiaoyu grabbed the silk thread, opened her eyes, pointed ahead, and then wrote:

"She's on the third floor, come with me."

She put away the handbook and jogged up the stairs, glancing back every few steps to see if Chen Shi was following.

Chen Shi immediately followed, because the scene in the mirror building had flipped; now the stairs were above him and the ceiling was below him. Walking from the fifth floor to the third floor was actually an upward climb.

As he followed Luo Xiaoyu, he pondered:

"My senior is on the third floor, I'm on the fourth floor, and Luo Xiaoyu is on the fifth floor... Hu Lizhang's watermelon head is trying to split us up and defeat us one by one."

"Moreover, Hu Lizhang first distracted me with his piano playing, then dealt with Luo Xiaoyu, who had a stronger inspiration, and finally left the senior student behind..."

Chen Shi had a bad feeling—Hu Lizhang had other plans for Su Yining.

……

……

Meanwhile, the mirror is surrounded by three layers.

"Hey, why are they all running so fast?"

Su Yining rested her hands on her knees, her crimson eyes gleaming like jewels in the darkness.

Not long ago, she was in the choir room, but as soon as that watermelon-headed guy appeared, Luo Xiaoyu rushed out, and Chen Shi also ran out as if possessed.

Those two truly deserve their reputation as ferrymen; they run incredibly fast, and they'd definitely take first place in the physical fitness test.

She wanted to chase after Chen Shi, but he disappeared as soon as she went out. After searching for a while on the 4th floor, she finally caught a glimpse of Chen Shi's back. He glanced at her and then rushed to the 3rd floor and disappeared.

"Why don't you, ferryman, participate in the sports meet? I think you could win a medal."

Su Yining pursed her lips, and after taking a few steps forward, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

"Chen Shi!?"

She strode forward, hands on her hips, and asked:

"Finally found you! Where did you run off to?"

Chen Shi smiled and spread his hands, saying:

"There's nothing I can do, I think I was affected by something just now."

As he spoke, he moved a little closer.

"What's affecting me? But I haven't experienced anything..."

Su Yining suddenly paused, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Shi, and she gently sniffed:

"wrong."

"What's wrong, senior?" Chen Shi asked, puzzled.

"It smells wrong."

Su Yining's face turned cold. Without any hesitation, she spun around, twisted her waist, and kicked her legs.

Her long legs swung out, leaving a black afterimage in the air, her long hair flying wildly with red highlights like flames.

"Oh!"

She kicked "Chen Shi" in the head, sending him flying against the wall.

Without relying on magical artifacts or rules, he simply used his inexhaustible strength to kick "Chen Shi" back to his original form—a pale, shapeless figure with no outline.

The person in the mirror swayed for a moment, as if a gust of wind had slipped to the bathroom mirror and disappeared directly into it.

"Is it a malevolent spirit?"

Su Yining immediately chased after her, but there was no movement in the mirror.

"Being able to move freely between mirrors? That's too much of a cheat."

She moved closer to the mirror.

She looked the same in the mirror, with her beautiful red eyes, delicate nose, and sensual lips.

Her features were still visible in the mirror.

Just then, a figure appeared silently in Yu Guangzhong's peripheral vision.

"!"

Su Yining's eyes narrowed, and she turned to look at her side.

And so, Hu Lizhang, with a watermelon-shaped haircut, black-rimmed glasses, and a hole in his shirt, stood in front of them expressionlessly.

Where did you take my junior?

Su Yining gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and strode forward, showing no fear whatsoever.

However, what Hu Lizhang said made her mind go blank for a moment.

"Those eyes, red pupils."

Hu Lizhang looked at Su Yining and said coldly:

"You were a student at this school before, and you joined the choir, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yining's eyes widened suddenly.

Chapter 71 The Mirror Maze

"What did you say?"

Su Yining's pupils trembled—she had never told Hu Lizhang about her own affairs.

"Say it again?"

Her breathing was somewhat erratic. She squinted and took a step forward, her usually bright smile now filled with fury:

"Explain yourself clearly, how did you know?"

Seeing Su Yining's reaction, Hu Lizhang calmly pushed up his glasses and snorted coldly:

"Looks like I wasn't mistaken, you've grown your hair long, Su. And you even dyed it, I almost didn't recognize you."

He nodded slightly:

“I felt you were strange right at the school gate. You’re not like a human, but you’re not like a spirit either. I’ve never seen anything like you before.”

"The choir, Teacher Hu..."

Su Yining kept replaying that memory in her mind.
