Chapter 160 Four-Eyed Woman

After the blood droplet on my fingertip landed on the innkeeper's arm, his eyes suddenly turned pitch black, and intense death energy poured out from his pupils.

The voice coming from his mouth also changed abruptly: "Friend, you've gone too far!"

I said in a deep voice, "I only want to know the secret of this room and the whereabouts of my friend. Tell me, and I won't hurt you at all."

The innkeeper only said, "The secret is behind the wardrobe," and then fell silent.

I handed the innkeeper over to Jiang Jiuyuan and walked over to push the wardrobe away from the wall. I saw an oval mirror behind it.

A mirror facing the wall?

The reason mirrors constantly appear in various legends is because their original purpose was not for people to look at themselves, but as magical instruments for exorcising ghosts and evil spirits.

The earliest mirrors were engraved with scriptures and incantations. When pointed at a wall, the scriptures would appear on the wall, and the mirror became an indispensable magical instrument for various sects.

Only after mirrors stopped being engraved with scriptures and incantations were they used for personal grooming. However, they also became entities that easily attracted evil or connected to the yin and yang realms.

There are countless taboos surrounding mirrors, one of which is that mirrors should not be placed against a wall.

There's no problem with placing the back of a mirror against a wall, but placing the front of a mirror against a wall or sealing it on a wardrobe door, so that it faces the wardrobe when the door is closed, is a taboo.

Because you never know if you'll open the mirror and find yourself facing a "person" who is also looking in the mirror.

The first time I saw that mirror, I knew that there had always been "someone" in this room, because the mirror was too clean, as if someone had been constantly wiping it.

As I slowly turned the mirror outwards, a white figure appeared next to the innkeeper. The figure not only didn't look sinister, but gave the impression of seeing an ordinary, delicate woman.

Such ghosts are even more terrifying.

It's like how a peerless swordsman no longer needs a famous sword to demonstrate their status. Even a piece of wood in their hands can become a deadly weapon.

When a ghost doesn't need to use a sinister and terrifying appearance to frighten opponents, it means that they already have the strength to overwhelm them.

I tilted my head back slightly, and the corner of my eye fell on the side of the chair, but my ghost eyes couldn't see his presence at all. I could only look at the ghost in the mirror.

When I pointed the mirror at the ghost, her willow-leaf eyebrows, which seemed to be painted on, suddenly split open in the middle, and in the next moment, the crack turned into a pair of eyes.

I was immediately stunned. I had never heard of a ghost growing four eyes.

In the next moment, the woman's four eyes all looked at my face.

One pair of eyes, which originally belonged to her, looked incomparably clear, even with a hint of girlish innocence. The other pair of eyes, which had just opened, were full of resentful, demonic aura.

I only met her gaze for a moment, and the mirror in front of me shattered on the spot, with shards of glass flying towards my face with force.

I instinctively crossed my arms to protect my eyes, and the flying glass hit my arms one after another as I staggered backwards.

After instinctively taking five steps back, I was suddenly shocked.

Wasn't the direction I retreated in the direction of that woman?

Five steps, just enough to bring me in front of her!

I only felt a weight on my shoulders, and a bone-chilling cold pierced through my clothes and into my shoulder blades.

Just as I instinctively wanted to save myself, I felt a delicate, smooth, yet icy face pressed against mine. The person whispered in my ear, "If you want to find someone, you have to find me first!"

"You only have one day. If you haven't found me by this time tomorrow, someone among you will die."

"And they will die miserably!"

As soon as she finished speaking, I felt a cold wind rush past my spine, and the window in the room rattled. When I turned my head to look again, the woman was already standing outside the window, smirking at me.

At this moment, Ye Yang, Lin Zhao, and the others rushed in from outside.

I recounted what had just happened: "After Feng Ruoxing came, she must have asked the innkeeper the same questions we did. The clues she got are similar to ours. Now, we have three leads to follow!"

"The first lead is still here. Someone has to continue searching for the secret of the Twin Towers. Jiang Jiuyuan and I will stay here."

"The second lead is to go to the Little Dragon Tower and see if there is a way to restrain her there. That side may involve feng shui and mechanisms, so Ye Yang and Chen Shuyu should go!"

"The third lead is to ask the locals about the four-eyed woman. Such a unique person, I don't believe there's no news about her in the area. Lin Zhao and Xiao Qi should go that way."

"Remember, you only need to inquire about information, don't chase after anything. Remember that."

After Ye Yang and Lin Zhao left, I turned to Jiang Jiuyuan and said, "I'm going to move the tower!"
