Yang Lili's mother, Huang Jingyi, saw this and advised, "Chen, stop making a scene. Your uncle has his reasons for doing this, of course."

"I just think it's unfair," Zhou Chen said.

Lin Feng, of course, heard everything Zhou Chen said.

But he had absolutely no interest in quibbling with this fellow.

It was also at this moment that Yang Jinlong walked down from upstairs carrying an exquisite small wooden box.

Upon reaching Lin Feng, Yang Jinlong opened the wooden box, and thus a round bronze mirror appeared before Lin Feng.

One could see that the surface of this bronze mirror was smooth, without a single speck of rust, and it was preserved very well.

Moreover, the edges of the mirror had very complex patterns, which gave one a dizzying feeling just looking at them.

Yang Jinlong said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, look, this is the Ghost Mirror my grandfather left me. As long as you pick up this mirror and stare fixedly at the mirror's surface, you will see a very terrifying scene in no more than thirty seconds."

"Then demonstrate it for me to see right now," Lin Feng said.

Yang Jinlong's complexion turned slightly pale, and he said, "Must I demonstrate it?"

"What do you think?" Lin Feng asked in return.

Yang Jinlong had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Fine, since you, Mr. Lin, want to witness the power of this Ghost Mirror, then I will test it once right before your eyes."

Subsequently, Yang Jinlong said to Yang Lili, "Lili, if I am unable to wake up later, just pat me; don't delay too long."

"Understood, Dad," Yang Lili nodded and said.

Yang Jinlong set down the wooden box, grasped this ancient, simple bronze mirror with both hands, and then held it up level.

Only twenty seconds had passed when Yang Jinlong's face turned pale, his entire body's muscles went rigid, and the hand holding the mirror was also trembling incessantly.

Yang Jinlong's breathing became very rapid, his entire head was covered in cold sweat, and his throat emitted "Heh... heh..." sounds, just as if he wanted to speak but was blocked by a glob of old phlegm, unable to get a word out no matter what.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng knew that Yang Jinlong was not acting.

No actor could be tough enough to perform all these physical reactions, so Yang Jinlong's reaction was real; he had indeed seen a very terrifying scene in this mirror, and he was unable to break free on his own.

However, Lin Feng looked toward the mirror's surface for a moment, yet he did not see any strange or terrifying things within it.

"Dad, wake up!"

Watching Yang Jinlong's cold sweat increase more and more, with his white shirt soaked through by sweat, Yang Lili jumped up and slapped Yang Jinlong on the shoulder.

Yang Jinlong was immediately slapped awake and let out a long breath.

"Didn't I say not to delay too long? Why did you wait such a long time to wake me up? I almost lost my life!" Yang Jinlong said angrily.

"Is there really a ghost in the mirror?" Chen Yilin finally could not hold back and asked curiously.

"Of course there is. I just saw it with my own eyes, and the ghost in the mirror was getting closer and closer to me; it seemed like it was about to crawl out of the mirror immediately!" Yang Jinlong said decisively, the expression on his face full of certainty.

Subsequently, Yang Jinlong added, "Ms. Chen, if you don't believe it, you can also try."

Chen Yilin was indeed a bit curious and wanted to try, but she was also a bit afraid.

But thinking that Lin Feng was right here and he certainly wouldn't watch her get into trouble, Chen Yilin plucked up her courage and said, "Then... then I'll try it."

"Be careful, don't drop it."

Yang Jinlong reminded her and solemnly handed the bronze mirror to Chen Yilin.

Chen Yilin then imitated Yang Jinlong's previous posture, grasping the bronze mirror with both hands and holding it level at the height of her eyebrows.

Next, she looked at the mirror without blinking, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

Before long, Chen Yilin displayed the same reaction as Yang Jinlong... no, her reaction was even more intense than Yang Jinlong's.

One could see that her two hands were not only trembling but even twitching, as if she wanted to throw the mirror away, yet she could not loosen her grip no matter what.

But this time, Lin Feng still did not see any horrifying scene from this Ghost Mirror.

It seems that this mirror must be held in one's own hands to be able to see the strange phenomena within it.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng did not delay any further and gently patted Chen Yilin on the shoulder, and Chen Yilin suddenly woke up.

"What did you see?" Lin Feng asked.

Chen Yilin swallowed her saliva and glanced at the bronze mirror with great fear before finally saying, "I... I saw a man covered in blood, and his body was rotting and stinking, with bloody, mangled skeletons everywhere, just like a zombie in a movie..."

"And after seeing that male ghost, I couldn't control my body. I wanted to let go of the mirror but couldn't loosen my fingers no matter what. I wanted to speak but couldn't say a single word. I could only watch helplessly as the male ghost in the mirror walked toward me step by step, getting closer and closer to me... closer and closer..."

Hearing Chen Yilin's description, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Yang Jinlong said, "What I saw just now was a female ghost, a long-haired female ghost holding her head in her arms."

"A female ghost? It was clearly a male ghost, wasn't it?" Chen Yilin asked.

Yang Jinlong said with a smile, "I forgot to mention, after everyone picks up this mirror, the ghosts they see in the mirror are all different, but they are all very terrifying."

"There is actually such a thing?" Chen Yilin said with a look of astonishment.

Lin Feng seemed to have understood something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Next is my turn. I also want to take a look. The ghosts I have seen in the mirror the previous few times were all different, and I want to know what ghost I will see today."

Yang Lili said with a smile and snatched the Ghost Mirror from Chen Yilin's hands.

Subsequently, she grasped the Ghost Mirror with both hands, held it level, and then stared at the mirror's surface.

Only a dozen seconds later, Yang Lili was so frightened that her whole body was trembling. Yang Jinlong was terrified that an accident might occur and hurriedly slapped Yang Lili awake.

"Lili, are you alright?" Yang Jinlong asked.

"I'm... I'm fine..." Yang Lili shook her head and said, her small face deathly pale.

But if one looked closely, one would see that the expression on her face seemed to be mixed with an indescribable meaning.

Lin Feng then asked, "What about you? What ghost did you see in the mirror?"

Yang Lili swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Lin Feng with some fear, but she dared not speak.

"What are you afraid of? I told you to speak, so speak; don't hem and haw," Lin Feng commanded.

Yang Jinlong also urged, "You dead girl, why are you stammering? Are you trying to keep people in suspense? Speak quickly, don't hide anything."

Yang Lili finally said, "I... I saw Mr. Lin in the Ghost Mirror. Mr. Lin looked just like a wild beast, wantonly killing the innocent in the mirror, killing one person after another, covered in blood..."

Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded.

"What kind of joke are you playing?" Lin Feng said angrily, his face full of displeasure.
