Chapter 283: Chapter 217. A Loving Family (4000 words)_2

"No, no, no!" The three of them cried out in unison upon hearing this sentence.

"Follow me," Beichuan Si said, clearly unwilling to waste any more words.

This place exuded an odd and ancient air from every corner, an inexplicable sense of dissonance and inversion.

Take, for example, the characters on the doorplates.

They were reversed like reflections in a mirror, with the writing flipped from left to right.

It was as if this apartment truly existed in a world within a mirror.

Even intending to leave, one could only depart from the room where Beichuan Si had entered.

It appeared to be a nexus within the spiritual realm, connecting to the outside world.

But no matter what...

Beichuan Si came to a halt, fixating his gaze on the man at the stairwell entrance, gripping a blood-stained kitchen knife, with bizarre, enchanting mirror shards embedded in his head.

His face was contorted, and dark liquid dripped steadily from him.

"How could this happen? He’s appeared again!" Qianye Cang retreated in panic.

Beichuan Si had clearly already dealt with him, so why had the adversary reappeared before them unscathed?

But just when Qianye Cang was about to say something more, a terrifying expression suddenly surged across the malevolent spirit’s face as it looked at Beichuan Si.

The malevolent spirit...

Felt fear towards Beichuan Si?

That was utterly preposterous.

Qianye Cang opened her mouth, almost instinctually.

The malevolent spirit let out a piercing scream,

"Ahhhhhh!"

The cry was as pitiful as a child’s sobbing. Seemingly using the scream to spur himself on, he charged toward Beichuan Si with reckless abandon.

The desperate posture of the malevolent spirit was like a warrior rushing to embrace the Demon King.

Observing this, the four people behind Beichuan Si were struck by a subtle sense of good and evil being reversed.

If Beichuan Si was the Demon King, then what were they, the four of them?

Before their eyes, Beichuan Si simply lifted a foot expressionlessly, then viciously stomped it down onto his opponent’s chest.

Then, with a cold snort, Beichuan Si turned the kick into a ruthless trampling on the other’s chest.

Crack!!!!

The crisp sound of bones snapping burst forth, and at the same time, the malevolent spirit let out an excruciating scream.

The sight sent chills through the four people behind him.

Beichuan Si drove his foot directly into the other’s chest cavity.

The wail of the malevolent spirit echoed in the air but stopped before it could even begin to spread.

Because with a sideward kick, Beichuan Si had crushed the malevolent spirit’s head.

The spiritual body dispersed once more.

"This place really is strange," Beichuan Si murmured thoughtfully after kicking the corpse away: "The same terrifying spirit being able to reappear unharmed..."

Could there be a connection to this mirror world?

Terrifying spirit?

The four people behind Beichuan Si exchanged glances upon hearing this.

Terrifying? You call that terrifying? Was it not just you raising a hand, extending a foot, a simple punch shattering everything?

Was this considered a terrifying spirit?

Especially for Qianye Cang.

She felt that Beichuan Si’s method of exorcism completely overturned everything she and her sister had long held as true about exorcism.

Beichuan Si was always so clean and decisive, swiftly dealing with the spirits.

But she and her sister had to slowly erode the other’s malice with dark energy before finally resolving the spirits.

There was simply no comparing the two...

"Is there something on your mind?" Beichuan Si, having returned, seemed to notice Qianye Cang’s intense gaze and asked in an indifferent tone.

Qianye Cang cleared her throat, her face turning red: "No, it’s nothing."

"..." Beichuan Si.

These people really were strange.

They had been inexplicably afraid of something since earlier, and he couldn’t discern what it was that made them wary.

Beichuan Si didn’t want to delve into these matters, "Let’s continue downstairs."

The five of them fell into silence once more.

This also made Beichuan Si much more relaxed. His mind became lively and he started to look around.

This apartment felt like an old standalone apartment from more than a decade ago, its walls already covered with cracks, and some places even had stains that resembled human figures.

The color of the sky was a pale grey, and everything around the entire apartment seemed shrouded in something, aside from the cold cedar in the courtyard, they could hardly see any scenery.

"Senior Beichuan, did my sister send you here?" Amidst this oppressive mood, Qianye Cang still felt it wouldn’t be polite to keep quiet, thus she started the conversation.

"I was on my way home when your sister called me and asked me to check on you, and after that you saw what happened."

Beichuan Si observed his surroundings and answered indifferently.

"Really? ...My sister... She must be very worried."

Beichuan Si stopped walking, turned his head and glanced sideways at Qianye Cang and the three followers who dared not utter a word behind her.

"Miss Cang, you indeed have a problem too, but it was out of goodness, I don’t mind. But... Changgu, Seki, Ikegami, you guys still have guts as always."

Shiver...

The three of them started shivering.

Facing Beichuan Si’s questioning, these three delinquents from Kyubei didn’t dare to retort.

Beichuan Si looked away and shook his head, "Let’s go."

The three had already apologized prostrately, and since Changgu Makoto’s graduation was also a happy event, Beichuan Si, as their nominal boss, was too lazy to beat them up.

It was normal for young people to seek thrills; otherwise, why would extreme sports be so popular in this world.

Only—experts exist amongst people, mistakes happen in the spiritual realm.

It’s one thing to be bold enough to take on challenges; it’s another to make a mistake or have an accident. That’s all there is to it.

The group of them continued to walk downwards.

On the way, Beichuan Si once again encountered the resentful spirit holding the blood-stained kitchen knife.

But this time, upon seeing Beichuan Si, the spirit took to its heels and ran away. This made Beichuan Si lose interest in wasting time and energy to deal with it.

The room Beichuan Si passed through in the spiritual realm was room 204.

It was an apartment room with a "Hida" nameplate on it.

A very ordinary room.

But within this environment, ’ordinary’ seemed strangely eerie.

This room was much cleaner and more spacious compared to others outside; it looked as if people were still moving around in it just yesterday.

An orderly sofa, a clean floor, an electric fan rocking overhead, and a television emitting static noise...

If someone wanted to rent a room, they could probably move in right away.

Since there would be another chance to enter this place, Beichuan Si was not in a hurry to investigate.

The priority was to send everyone back.

He reached out his hand, and a chilling death energy burst forth!

This part of the spiritual space was much weaker than others, and Beichuan Si opened it without much effort.

Under his compelling gaze, the trio of lackeys entered the crack with unease in their hearts.

Then came Qianye Cang.

"After returning to reality, I really want to properly thank Senior Beichuan for your help."

"No need for thanks. Because your sister said she will also tutor Hui Li on Saturdays and Sundays, let’s consider that payment."

Uh—

Qianye Cang’s mouth twitched, feeling that Beichuan Si seemed to be overly concerned about Beichuan Huili.

However, she also had her own set of principles: "We will talk about it later, I’ll definitely be able to help you when the opportunity comes, Senior Beichuan."

Leaving these words, Qianye Cang also walked into the crack.

Beichuan Si didn’t pay further attention, his gaze shifting slightly, finally resting on the family photo placed beside the TV cabinet.

There, a pairing of a man, a woman, and a little girl were smiling brilliantly at the camera.

Anyone who saw this family photo would probably think ’What a happy and loving family’.

"A family that loves each other, right."

Beichuan Si withdrew his gaze, and his entire body also entered the steadily closing crack.

In the chilly rental apartment, the electric fan kept wobbling, and the static noise from the television, along with the snowflake-pattern screen, seemed as if it would never cease—
