Chapter 722 The Man in the Mirror
After the mountain village school incident ended, Chen Yile did not return directly to the organization headquarters, but returned to the villa and gave himself a few days off.
These days, he took the time to do a live broadcast to answer some questions from fans.
However, even if he doesn't look for trouble, trouble will find him.
"Ding dong."
As the prompt sounded, an unfamiliar connection request appeared on the live broadcast interface.
Chen Yile frowned. Usually, it was the fans who gave gifts or rewards, and few people would directly apply for a connection.
"let me see."
He scrolled through the screen to check the other person's profile. The profile picture was a photo of a girl wearing an adventure helmet, and the description read "Adventure-loving anchorwoman Tang Lei."
"This girl looks quite interesting."
Chen Yile answered the video call with a smile.
The screen quickly switched to another live broadcast. In front of the camera stood a girl with a ponytail and a windbreaker. The background was a desolate countryside.
"Hello! I'm Tang Lei."
The girl smiled at the camera.
"I know you're a psychic broadcaster specializing in all kinds of paranormal phenomena. I recently heard about a particularly interesting place and I'd like to invite you to go see it."
Chen Yile noticed a hint of excitement in her tone and asked, "Where?"
"It's an old house called Jingyuan Mansion."
Tang Lei turned around and the camera swept across the dilapidated wooden door behind her.
"It's in a small town not far from here. I heard from the locals that this house is very noisy and no one has dared to go near it for several years."
Chen Yile became interested. As the leader of a psychic detection organization, he was always enthusiastic about such unknown challenges.
"Tell me, what's so special about it?"
"It is said that this house was originally owned by a wealthy businessman, but was later destroyed by a fire."
"But the strange thing is, after the fire, people started seeing strange shadows moving around in the house. Especially at night, you could often hear crying coming from inside..."
Chen Yile narrowed his eyes. This kind of house, which sounded like an ordinary haunted house, was nothing new to him, but Tang Lei's next words perked him up.
"The strangest thing is that there is an ancient bronze mirror hidden in a corner of the house. Some say that this mirror can reflect past and present lives, while others say it can lead to another world."
"Interesting," Chen Yile stood up, "When do we leave?"
"Just tomorrow."
Tang Lei blinked and said with a smile.
The next morning, the two drove to the remote town.
The air was filled with a damp smell, and sporadic raindrops were floating in the distant sky.
"This is it."
Tang Lei pointed to a weed-covered open space in front of her and said.
Through the dense bushes, you can see an old house with green bricks and gray tiles looming.
After getting out of the car, Chen Yile carefully observed the terrain. The weeds around the house were taller than a person, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
He took out talisman paper, compass and other tools from the trunk.
"Are you ready?"
Tang Lei took a deep breath: "Ready!"
The two men carefully walked through the overgrown path and pushed open the creaking iron gate.
The smell of decay hit me in the face, and there seemed to be a faint smell of mold lingering in the air.
"It's really spooky here."
Tang Lei subconsciously moved closer to Chen Yile.
Chen Yile raised the compass to measure the magnetic field and found that the pointer was swinging wildly, which indicated that there were indeed abnormal energy fluctuations here.
He patted Tang Lei's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, just follow me."
The two walked along the corridor, and every step made a creaking sound on the dusty floor.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the end of the corridor, and Tang Lei couldn't help shivering.
"Did you feel it?"
she asked quietly.
Chen Yile nodded. The cold air was so abnormal that it seemed like it was blowing out from an ice cellar.
He quickened his pace and found a closed door at the corner.
A faint light shone through the crack in the door.
The moment I opened the door, an even more biting chill hit me in the face.
In the center of the room stood a huge mahogany bed, with an antique curtain hanging at the head of the bed.
In the center of the room stood a bronze mirror more than one meter tall.
The surface of the mirror is covered with traces of time, and there is even some peeling at the edges.
But strangely, in such a dark and damp room, the mirror was unusually bright, and could even clearly reflect the two people's reflections.
"Is this the mirror you were talking about?"
Chen Yile walked closer.
Tang Lei stood still: "That's it, but..."
She suddenly stopped, and Chen Yile noticed that her face turned pale.
"what happened?"
Tang Lei swallowed her saliva and said, "I just saw a figure in the mirror."
Chen Yile squinted his eyes and looked at the mirror. There was nothing unusual in the mirror except for the reflections of the two people.
But at this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew from behind.
The scene in the mirror suddenly distorted, and the originally clear picture began to become blurry.
Then, a figure vaguely appeared in the hazy fog.
It was a woman wearing ancient clothes. Her face was blurry, but deep sadness and despair could be seen in her eyes.
Chen Yile's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He could feel a strange aura in the air, as if the entire space was shrouded by some invisible force.
He subconsciously touched the weapon around his waist, which was his most powerful support.
"Something's wrong."
Tang Lei's voice trembled slightly.
Chen Yile nodded: "This yin energy is too strong, and this mirror is not simple."
Tang Lei walked closer and looked closely at the mirror.
Although the mirror surface was mottled, it emitted a strange luster in the dim light.
She reached out and gently touched the mirror, and a piercing chill came from her fingertips.
She stopped short as she noticed that the image in the mirror seemed to be shaking slightly.
Chen Yile immediately became alert. He raised the compass to measure the magnetic field. The needle was spinning wildly, almost jumping out of the dial.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "This mirror may not be just an ordinary antique."
At this moment, a low whimpering sound suddenly came from the mirror.
The sound seemed to come from far away, and it seemed to seep into this space from another world.
Chen Yile and Tang Lei looked at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
The image in the mirror began to become clear. The woman in ancient costume slowly raised her head. Her face was still blurry, but the sadness in her eyes was more obvious.
She spoke slowly, her voice hoarse and low: "Save me."
