Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 137: Trapped

At this time, Shangguan Yun had already washed his face.

The nosebleed had also stopped, and he looked at himself in the mirror again. But this time, he suddenly froze, with a shocked expression in his eyes.

Because his appearance was gone from the mirror.

"What's going on?"

Shangguan Yun looked at the mirror, waved his hand, and took a few steps left and right.

But no matter what he did, his appearance couldn't be reflected in the huge glass in front of him.

It seemed that he didn't exist in the mirror at all.

"This is impossible."

Shangguan Yun was puzzled. He looked at the faucet, the washbasin, and even the washstand. All these things could appear in the mirror, but he couldn't.

"Is it an illusion caused by excessive blood loss, or did I encounter something evil?"

Shangguan Yun rubbed his head. Maybe he had been under a lot of work pressure recently. Should he go see a doctor?

"Forget it, let's go back. Maybe someone is playing a prank."

Although the situation was strange, he didn't pay much attention to it.

He turned around and left.

There was no door in this restroom.

But when he turned a corner and was about to leave the restroom, he suddenly froze.

What he saw was not the familiar path he came from, but darkness. It wasn't the darkness of the night, but a strange darkness that seemed like thick ink condensed into a wall, blocking his way.

If he forcefully stepped out, he felt like he would fall into an abyss of no return.

"What is going on?" At this moment, Shangguan Yun was completely panicked.

He could accept not seeing his reflection in the mirror before, but now even the outside had changed like this.

Could it be that there really was a ghost?

Shangguan Yun was a firm materialist. He had believed in science since he was young, and anything supernatural was scoffed at by him. He didn't believe in those things. They could only deceive ignorant children. Who would believe in them after entering society and starting to work?

However, everything in front of him made his firm belief waver.

And once belief starts to waver, fear will unconsciously fill your body.

Shangguan Yun started to feel a little scared. The first thing he thought of was calling the police.

But as soon as he took out his phone, he stopped.

Call the police?

How should he explain it?

Should he say that he was trapped in the restroom of a KTV and couldn't get out?

Or should he say that he encountered something evil?

If he said that, the police would probably laugh at him.

"Call my cousin and ask her what's going on. Don't panic, don't scare yourself." Shangguan Yun forced himself to calm down and dialed Miao Xiaoshan's number.

"Hello, Xiaoshan, it's me, your cousin."

On the other end of the phone, Miao Xiaoshan's voice sounded excited: "Cousin, is it really you? I'm so glad you're okay."

Yang Jian, who was rushing to the restroom, was stunned when he saw Miao Xiaoshan answering Shangguan Yun's call.

Could it be that Shangguan Yun hadn't died?

This was impossible.

The ghost had taken over Shangguan Yun's identity. Why was he still alive?

"Miao Xiaoshan, first make sure if he is really your cousin. If you're not sure, just hang up. In this situation, you can't answer random calls. You know the consequences." Yang Jian reminded her.

Miao Xiaoshan's face froze with joy.

She remembered the terrifying call that started with 138 at school.

It was that call that attracted the knocking ghost and almost killed them all at the school gate.

"Cousin, I'm in the restroom right now. Something seems off here. You and your classmates should come and take a look. If anything happens, call the police immediately." Shangguan Yun's voice came from the phone again.

"What's wrong? Tell me." Yang Jian took the phone and spoke.

Shangguan Yun said, "Is this Yang Jian? It's best if you come and take a look. I found that the exit of the restroom seems to be blocked, and it's pitch black outside. I don't know what's going on. And just now, I couldn't see my reflection in the mirror. I feel like what you guys said might be true. I encountered something evil. What should I do now? Can you help me?"

Pitch black outside the restroom?

Yang Jian frowned when he noticed this information.

He had already reached the restroom door.

Everything here was normal, and there was no pitch black scene. Instead, the lights were on, and it was very bright.

"Take a photo and send it to me. I'll analyze it for you." Yang Jian didn't directly refute his words. Perhaps Shangguan Yun was really in trouble.

It's just that he couldn't understand the situation for now.

"Okay."

"But we're about to enter the restroom now. Are you sure you're really in the restroom?" Yang Jian asked again.

"Of course I'm sure. I'm standing here talking to you on the phone. If I'm not in the restroom, where else could I be?" Shangguan Yun said.

"Okay, I understand."

After asking, Yang Jian immediately hung up the phone.

Then, he walked into the restroom with the others.

However, reality was cruel.

There was no one in the restroom, and there was no sign of Shangguan Yun.

"No one? Didn't my cousin say he was in the restroom just now?" Miao Xiaoshan became frightened again.

Zhao Lei said, "Could it be that the person who made the call is not Shangguan Yun... but a ghost?"

"Unlikely. His emotions were normal, and there was nothing strange about him. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility of a ghost's perfect disguise. But since the ghost in the private room has already appeared, the call should be genuine. So I think Shangguan Yun didn't lie."

"He really was in the restroom."

"But there's no one here." Zhang Wei said.

Yang Jian walked over quickly, his gaze focused on the huge mirror in front of the sink.In the mirror, Shangguan Yun was anxiously making a call on his phone, occasionally glancing outside.

"There's no one in the bathroom because the person is in the mirror..."

The bathroom was empty, but Shangguan Yun's figure mysteriously appeared in the bathroom mirror. The him in the mirror seemed unaware of this, only anxiously calling for help, not daring to leave the bathroom.

The mirror only reflected the bathroom.

Nothing outside the bathroom appeared in the mirror.

Hence, the outside world Shangguan Yun spoke of was pitch black.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you? I'm here, can you see us?"

Upon seeing this, Miao Xiaoshan was both scared and anxious. She ran to the mirror in a panic, fearing to touch it.

But the Shangguan Yun in the mirror seemed not to hear her, not turning his head to look at Miao Xiaoshan.

Seeing this, Yang Jian directly dialed Shangguan Yun's number on Miao Xiaoshan's phone.

The Shangguan Yun in the mirror heard the ringing of the phone and hurriedly answered, "Hello, is that you, cousin? Why haven't they arrived yet? It's been five minutes. Did something happen on your end?"

"It's me, Yang Jian."

"Yang Jian, tell me what's happening outside. What's going on?"

"Everything's fine outside, nothing has happened. It's you who's in trouble. Don't look outside, no one will come in. Turn around and look at the mirror, we're all here," Yang Jian said.

Shangguan Yun subconsciously turned to look at the mirror behind him, his pupils shrinking in surprise.

In the mirror, his cousin Miao Xiaoshan was crying and touching the mirror, but he couldn't hear any sound.

Zhao Lei and Zhang Wei stood there with a hint of fear on their faces.

Yang Jian was calmly looking at him while talking on the phone.

"You, why are you all in the mirror?"

"It's not us in the mirror, it's you," Yang Jian's voice came from the phone.

At that moment,

Shangguan Yun froze, his eyes filled with immense fear, and his phone slipped from his hand unknowingly.

"Beep beep..."

The call was cut off.

"Did the phone break?"

Yang Jian looked at the fallen phone from outside the mirror, frowning.

But at this moment, he wasn't concerned about whether the phone was broken, but that the communication was cut off, making it inconvenient for further communication.

From the previous situation, it could be seen that the person in the mirror couldn't hear the people outside.

Moreover, he was curious as to why Shangguan Yun would enter the mirror... and where was that disappearing ghost now?
