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

With perfect coordination, the glass windows shattered rapidly.

Seeing that many withered hands were wriggling out from the other side of the corridor, Chen Shi didn't linger in battle and gave Luo Xiaoyu a look:

"Walk."

"Ah."

Luo Xiaoyu retracted the silver chain and continued leading the way.

The dark corridor was like an abyss. The further you went in, the louder your footsteps echoed, as if someone was haunting you.

However, this terrifying environment felt just like home to the two ferrymen.

Soon, Luo Xiaoyu stopped in front of a door, turned her head and pointed to the door.

You mean the senior is in here?

"Mmm." Luo Xiaoyu nodded.

Chen Shi looked up at the teacher's nameplate.

[Music Classroom]

Why are you in the music room?

Chen Shi was puzzled, but he still kicked the door open.

However, there was not a single spirit in the room, only benches and a piano.

"Nobody's here?"

Chen Shi looked around and paid special attention to the piano when he saw it—the piano in the choir room had left him with bad memories.

Suddenly, he felt someone tug at the corner of his clothes.

I turned around and saw no one.

Looking down, I saw Luo Xiaoyu.

Luo Xiaoyu stared ahead and pointed forcefully at a window.

"That window? What happened to it?"

Chen Shi was taken aback at first, then immediately realized what was happening:

"You mean the senior is in this window?!"

"Mmm."

Luo Xiaoyu nodded, closed her eyes again to sense, and with a flash of inspiration, she could see a faint thread connecting the window.

To be precise, it's the space behind the window where the Mirror Spirit resides.

Chen Shi went to the window, took a deep breath, and activated his spiritual artifacts to maximize his inspiration.

The tangled threads began to become clear, with one extremely faint, almost transparent thread connecting to the mirror, visible only when viewed from within the mirror.

When he opened his eyes again, the reflection in the window had changed.

Through the window, a mirror maze appeared, seemingly endless and without an exit.

At the very center of the maze, those few splashes of red remained vibrant.

It's Su Yining!

At this moment, she was wandering through the maze repeatedly, like walking on a Möbius strip, with no way out no matter which way she went.

Countless withered hands reached out from all directions, twisting and grabbing at her.

"Senior, senior! Can you hear me?" Chen Shi called out a few times.

Beside her, Luo Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, her brain racing as she tried to think of any magical artifact that could break this kind of confinement.

"No, there's no response."

Chen Shi calmed down and began to think about the current situation:

"I've been mentally harassed before, and I even died once because of the Mirror Spirit's fake body, but I never triggered this kind of imprisonment mechanism. Is it Hu Lizhang? But the mirror space should be where the Mirror Spirit is located. No matter how capable he is, he can't make the Mirror Spirit do things outside of his ability, right?"

Just then...

"Thump—!"

The piano keys in the corner pressed down automatically, and the heavy piano sound was like a giant hammer falling.

The familiar feeling returned.

It felt like something had entered my ear, and my brain felt a sharp pain.

Chen Shi's vision went black, and he immediately wrapped himself in a noose—he had prepared this in advance when he saw the piano as soon as he entered the room.

The rope loops tightened, and the dark red patterns emitted light, activating the suppression effect.

A few seconds later, the stinging pain in my head disappeared.

"Luo Xiaoyu, did you just hear the piano?" he immediately turned around and asked.

"Ok?"

Luo Xiaoyu immediately shook her head.

"As expected, this effect is one-to-one."

Chen Shi glanced at the piano beside him and, in a fleeting moment, saw the black keys fall again.

"..."

This time, however, he didn't hear anything.

Luo Xiaoyu!

Chen Shi immediately reacted, turned his head and saw Luo Xiaoyu's eyes widen, she raised her right leg, her slender hand touched the red rope on her ankle, and she instantly gripped the red-tasseled spear tightly in her hand.

"Damn it, they're coming for me."

Chen Shi quickly turned to the side, and just the next second, Luo Xiaoyu swung her hand, and the red-tasseled spear accurately pierced the spot where he had just been standing.

If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have had to go home again.

Just as Luo Xiaoyu was about to swing her gun again, her petite body suddenly froze, and pain appeared on her tender baby face, her heterochromatic eyes flashing with crescent moons.

"Is Luo Xiaoyu resisting mental intrusion?"

We need to deal with that piano now!

Chen Shi was about to go and fix the piano when he suddenly braked.

"Wait... something's not right."

“I was upstairs at the time. Even after I suppressed the piano, the sound still came out, which means the problem wasn’t with the instrument itself.”

"But Hu Lizhang is not in the room now. The piano music is still playing. He attacked me first, and when he found that it was ineffective against me, he immediately turned his attention to Luo Xiaoyu."

"Furthermore, there are no rules regarding music in the mirror cage."

"This attack pattern is very similar to..."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up. He untied the rope from his hand and, taking advantage of Luo Xiaoyu's resistance, grabbed her wrist.

"Crunch." The rope loop tightened.

"Um……"

Luo Xiaoyu let out a soft moan and immediately woke up, while forcefully patting her ears.

She looked down and immediately realized it was the rope that was causing the problem.

Luo Xiaoyu reacted quickly, immediately pulling up the other end of the rope, intending to signal Chen Shi to entangle her as well, in order to prevent mental harassment.

however……

"Come on, if I'm not mistaken."

Chen Shi immediately loosened the rope, then picked up the metronome on the piano, snapped the long needle in half, and broke it in two.

"Huh?" Luo Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Surrendering?

The next second, the piano keys fell again.

"Thump—!"

The sound of the zither rang in Chen Shi's ears once again.

His vision went black, and a familiar pain shot into his ear canal.

This time, Chen Shi didn't go for the sling. Instead, he picked up a long needle in each hand and forcefully stabbed it into his ear canal!

"Get out of my ear."

"Sound Spirit!"

Chapter 73 The fabric of the clothes is quite soft.

Luo Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.

One second she was wondering why Chen Shi had given up, and the next second she saw him pick up the pendulum needle and forcefully shove it into her ear canal.

However, something even more unexpected happened next.

"Den!"

"Den!"

The piano keys fell wildly, and heavy piano notes echoed in the classroom.

However, this time there was no mental intrusion, and everyone could hear it.

It was like the lament of something.

The mournful cry of the evil spirit.

"What's going on?" Luo Xiaoyu asked alertly, gripping her red-tasseled spear tightly.

At the same time, Chen Shi gripped the pendulum needle tightly and twirled it behind his ear, his eyes showing no fear or hesitation.

"Thump—!!"

The piano keys fell again, like the mournful howl of a dying beast.

Two streams of black mud flowed from Chen Shi's ears, twisting and wriggling on the ground.

Having confirmed that he had forced the evil spirit out, Chen Shi quickly pulled out the pendulum needle and threw it away.

He snapped his fingers a few times, making a crisp sound.

"Thank goodness, I'm not deaf." Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Xiaoyu, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Regardless of how Chen Shi discovered there was another evil spirit in the Ling Cage, what kind of madman would break off a pendulum and stick it into his ear without even confirming the truth?

Is it that fierce?

In her opinion, Chen Shi's title of "first-class ferryman" was definitely too low.

As for Chen Shi himself...

"Phew~ Luckily, I made the right bet." He felt relieved.

If he makes the wrong bet, then he'll have to roll back.

If he only had one life, he would never dare to do such a thing.

Fortunately, he was born in the Year of the Cat, which means he has a lot of luck, and the ability to rewind time is the reason he dared to try this boldly.

He turned his head and saw Luo Xiaoyu looking at him with admiration.

With that youthful face, it's like a little sister getting stuck in a game, only to see her all-powerful older brother appear and coolly win the game.

Okay, it's not that exaggerated.
