Chapter 543: Midnight Seance (1)

If you gaze deep into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Lee Jung-sook must have been involved in so many supernatural incidents that… the supernatural began to take special notice of her. Perhaps that was why she was first discovered by Crow Tengu and Black Yaksha to begin with.

He understood Lee Jung-sook. She wasn’t in the slightest bit afraid of the supernatural. In fact, she would even dance along to their haunting tunes, because… she was looking for a way to die for good.

Those who lived an inordinate amount of time sought death, while those who had perished for a long time sought the hope of life once again.

Just then, he suddenly paused, and he turned to look at his reflection in the mirror.

“A copper mirror cannot distinguish between the Yin and the Yang.” Wang Chenghao’s voice sounded from right behind Qin Ye. He had at some point entered the room in the very same fashion, “It would prevent both parties from seeing the other’s appearances clearly.”

He withdrew his hand and raised his eyebrow quizzically, “Ironwood.”

Tap, tap, tap… Qin Ye rapped his fingers on the dresser, as though deep in thought. After some time, he looked up, “I’ve got a postulation.”

The sudden use of English instantly triggered a related memory in Wang One Tail’s heart, and he cleared his throat briefly, “Tell me why… does it have to be like this… Tell me why…”

“I mean… How did you even pick up on Declan Galbraith’s song featuring the Young Voices Choir? What kind of choir are you supposed to be from?” Qin Ye was completely stunned.

Qin Ye stared intently at him for some time, and then sighed softly, “There’s still another purpose for this…”

“Huh?” Wang One Tail froze, and he began to take another deep breath.

“The first one is Ahn Jun-ho. Unfortunately, he passed on in an accident, and can no longer continue with the facade of being a living dead. Thus, the task of acting as a channel for communications was entrusted to the second evil ghost, who would continue to receive her messages, before engaging with her in person in the likeness of Ahn Jun-ho. This would ensure that they wouldn’t attract undue attention to themselves. And to that end, perhaps the evil ghosts actively reached out to her after Ahn Jun-ho’s death. She didn’t feel at ease letting them know of her whereabouts, so she specially erected this seance station for her own protection.”

Wang One Tail stared at him, completely flabbergasted. They locked eyes for several awkward moments, and then Wang One Tail exploded in fear, “What the hell are you doing?! Let me make this clear once and for all - I’m straight!”

Several seconds later, Qin Ye huffed softly with one foot over One Tail’s body. Ahh, that felt good… It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a nice warm-up. It’s truly important to invest in the right sandbag.

Wang One Tail got up with an ashen expression, “That’s good to hear… But Brother Qin, promise me you’d never open that door to forbidden love. Otherwise… I’d feel threatened with these looks of mine…”

What a downer on our conversation… Wang Chenghao mumbled and grumbled as he transformed into a nethergale and vanished from where he was. When he next showed up, he carried a small bag of items in hand.

Wang One Tail - Holy crap?!

Wang Chenghao sized up the svelte figure sporting shoulder-length hair that was standing in front of him, and he couldn’t help but gulp nervously.

Qin Ye gazed at the ceiling sullenly, “There are always dark moments in a person’s life when one has no choice but to swallow a bitter pill…”

A split second later, a gust of wind sent Wang One Tail slamming straight into the wall of the room.

“How deeply embarrassing… This is something that I’d never thought I’d one day do! Bloody hell, this had better turn up some leads. Otherwise, I’m gonna go straight back to Clear Creek County and destroy every member of the surviving Wang Clan!”

Qin Ye took several deep breaths to calm his heart, and then he finally proceeded to light up the candle.

At once, the mirror in front of them felt somewhat different. The eerie silence of the night, coupled with the soft dance of the candlelight made everything feel almost otherworldly.

However… this room had walls on all sides without any windows! It was impossible for there to be any wind in the room!

It was almost as though something was approaching this closed chamber of Building 6B!

All seances were similar in some way or another. It followed the process of calling, locating, responding, and finally communicating. The medium or channel acted like a door, while the party calling and the party responding were like two parties standing on either side of the door.

Something’s trying to locate me. Qin Ye glanced at the fluttering curtains as he thought to himself.

Unseen figures were wandering the streets and searching for something anxiously, but to no avail.

It was 1.00 a.m. in the morning. In a dimly lit room, a reflection in the mirror had suddenly lifted its head to stare at the owner of the reflection!

The owner of the reflection had remained just as still as before.

Everything in the copper mirror was blurry and hazy. Qin Ye watched on as his reflection leaned its head forward, attempting to stick its head right out of the mirror! It was incredibly peculiar!

Fortunately, as soon as the reflection touched the frame of the mirror, it immediately let out a muffled grunt and sat back down immediately.

Qin Ye looked at it soullessly, and then… picked up his comb and slowly began to comb the wig on his head.

A ghost had just blown out the candle light!

What masterful strokes… I can tell that this entity is at least a 100 year ghost, and an Anitya Hellguard to boot! By frightening the summoner, you must be attempting to weaken the three flames over the summoner’s shoulder so that you can forcibly take control of her body, aren’t you? Qin Ye gazed intently at the mirror. He had the feeling that someone was looming right over his shoulder right now.

Why don’t we see who finds the other first?

But this time… a line of words appeared on the surface of the mirror.

And they were written in blood.

The words read - Found you…

Saint Virtue High School.

The power was out…

“What kind of otherworldly encounter is this supposed to be?” He rubbed his eyes sleepily, “It’s September, for goodness sakes… How is it possible to be awakened by the chill of the night in these months?”

Whoosh… Two dark eyes opened up amidst the darkness of the night.

The owner of these eyes was beautiful. She had a sharp chin and pronounced features. But the hair that fluttered menacingly about her made her look incomparably terrifying.

“That’s right… You’re just like one of us… You’re a monster…”

Whoosh!

You never know what lay beneath the skin of the person closest to you.
