Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Trapped
By this time, Shangguan Yun had finished washing his face.
The nosebleed had almost stopped, and when he looked in the mirror again, he suddenly froze, his eyes revealing a shocked expression.
Because there was no reflection of himself in the mirror in front of him.
âWhatâs going on here?â
Shangguan Yun looked at himself in the mirror, waved his hands, and walked a few steps left and right.
But no matter what he did, his reflection couldnât be seen in this huge glass surface.
It was as if he didnât exist in the mirror at all.
âThatâs impossible.â
Shangguan Yun was puzzled; he looked at the faucet, the sink basin, even the vanity countertopâall these things could be seen in the mirror, but he himself couldnât appear in it.

In this mirror, there was just an empty space, as if he didnât exist at all.
âAm I hallucinating from blood loss, or have I encountered something evil?â
Shangguan Yun rubbed his head, thinking perhaps the recent work pressure had been a bit too much. Was it time to see a doctor?
âForget it, letâs go back. Maybe itâs someoneâs idea of a prank.â
Although the situation was strange, he didnât take it too seriously.
He turned around to leave.
The bathroom here didnât have a main door.
And as he turned the corner ready to exit the restroom, he suddenly froze.
Instead of the familiar path he had arrived by, there was utter darknessâa darkness not like that of the night, but rather like walls of condensed ink eerily standing in front of him, blocking his way out.
If he were to step forward, he felt he would plunge into an abyss from which there was no return.
âWhat in the world is happening?â At that moment, Shangguan Yun was completely panicked.
Not being able to see himself in the mirror was one thing, but now even the outside had changed like this.
Could it really be haunted?
Shangguan Yun was a staunch materialist. Ever since childhood, he had believed in science; all this talk of ghosts and spirits was contemptible, never to be taken seriously, mere stories to fool naive children. Who would believe in that once they entered society and started working?
Yet everything before his eyes was making his unwavering inner beliefs start to waver.
And once beliefs begin to shake, fear involuntarily emerges to take over your body.
Shangguan Yun was starting to feel afraid and thought first of calling the police.
But as soon as he took out his phone, he stopped again.
Call the police?
How could he report it?
Say that he was trapped in a KTV bathroom and couldnât get out?
Or that he had encountered something evil?
If he said something like that, he would probably be laughed at.
âCall my cousin, ask her whatâs urgent; stay calm first, donât panic, donât scare yourself.â Shangguan Yun forced himself to stay calm as he dialed Miao Xiaoshanâs number.
âHello, Xiao Shan, itâs me, your cousin.â
On the phone, Miao Xiaoshanâs voice was somewhat excited: âCousin, is it really you? Iâm so relieved youâre okay.â
Yang Jian, who was hurrying to the restroom, was momentarily stunned when he saw Miao Xiaoshan answer a call from Shangguan Yun.
Could it be that Shangguan Yun was still not dead?
That couldnât be.
The ghost had taken Shangguan Yunâs identity, so why was he still alive?
âMiao Xiaoshan, first make sure itâs really your cousin. If youâre not sure, just hang up the phone immediately. Under these circumstances, you canât just answer any call; you know the consequences,â Yang Jian warned.
The joy on Miao Xiaoshanâs face immediately stiffened.
She remembered the terrifying call that started with 138 from the school.
It was that call that had lured the Door Knocking Ghost over, almost causing them all to die right at the school gate.
âCousin, Iâm in the bathroom right now, and something seems off here. You and your classmates had better come over and take a look. If thereâs an accident, call the police right away,â Shangguan Yunâs voice came out of the phone again.
âWhatâs wrong exactly? Talk to me,â Yang Jian directly took over the phone and spoke.
Shangguan Yun said, âIs that you, Yang Jian? You guys had better come over and take a look. I think the bathroom exit is sealed off, outside is pitch black, I donât know whatâs going on. And, I couldnât see anyone in the mirror just now; I think you guys might have been right. Have I encountered something evil? What should I do now, can you find a way to help me?â
Pitch black outside the restroom?
Yang Jian furrowed his brows upon catching this piece of information.
He had already seen the restroom entrance ahead of him.
Everything here was normal; there was no pitch-black scene. Instead, the lights were on, very bright.
âTake a photo and send it to me, Iâll analyze it for you,â Yang Jian said, not directly contradicting his assertion. Perhaps Shangguan Yun really was in trouble.
He just couldnât understand the situation at the moment.
âOkay.â
âBut weâre about to enter the restroom now, are you sure youâre really in there?â Yang Jian added.
âOf course, Iâm sure. Iâm standing right here talking to you on the phone. Where else could I be if not in the restroom?â Shangguan Yun said.
âAlright, I got it.â
After asking, Yang Jian immediately ended the call.
Afterward.
He led the others into the restroom.
But reality was cruel.
There was no one in the restroom; Shangguan Yun was nowhere to be seen.
âNo one? Didnât cousin just say he was in the restroom?â Miao Xiaoshan became frightened again.
Zhao Lei said, âCould it be that the person on the phone wasnât Shangguan Yun⊠maybe a ghost?â
âNot likely. His emotions were full, without any strangeness. Of course, I donât rule out a perfect ghostly disguise, but since the ghost in the private room had already appeared, the call should be real. So I think Shangguan Yun wasnât lying.â
âHe truly is in the restroom.â
âBut thereâs no one here,â Zhang Wei said.
Yang Jian strode over, his gaze sharpening as he looked at the huge mirror in front of the sink.
Reflected in the mirror, Shangguan Yun was holding his phone, anxiously making a call, occasionally glancing outside.
âThereâs no one in the restroom because the person is inside the mirrorâŠâ
The restroom was empty, but Shangguan Yunâs reflection appeared eerily in the mirror. The him inside the mirror seemed unaware of the situation, just anxiously calling for help from outside, not daring to step out of this restroom.
The mirror only showed the restroom.
Nothing outside of the restroom appeared in the mirror.
Thatâs why the outside world Shangguan Yun spoke of was pitch-black.
âCousin, whatâs wrong, cousin Iâm here, can you see us?â
Miao Xiaoshan, seeing this scene, was both scared and anxious. She ran to the mirror somewhat panicked, pounding on it.
But Shangguan Yun inside the mirror seemed not to hear and did not turn around to look at Miao Xiaoshan.
Seeing this, Yang Jian directly dialed Shangguan Yunâs number using Miao Xiaoshanâs phone.
Shangguan Yun inside the mirror heard the ringing phone and quickly answered, âHello, Xiao Shan? Why havenât they arrived yet, itâs been over five minutes. Did something happen on your side?â
âItâs me, Yang Jian.â
âYang Jian, tell me about the situation outside. What on earth is happening out there?â
âEverything is fine outside, no situation has occurred. Itâs you whoâs in trouble. Donât look outside now, no one will come in from there. Turn around and look at the mirror, we are all right here,â Yang Jian said.
Shangguan Yun turned and looked behind him at the mirror subconsciously, his eyes suddenly narrowing as he got a fright.
In the mirror, his cousin Miao Xiaoshan was crying while pounding on the mirror, but he couldnât hear any sound.
Zhao Lei and Zhang Wei were standing by with looks of fright on their faces.
Yang Jian was on the other side holding a phone and talking to him, calmly looking over.
âHow, how are all of you in the mirror?â
âItâs not us in the mirror, itâs you in the mirror,â Yang Jianâs voice came from inside the phone.
At that moment.
Shangguan Yun froze, his eyes revealing immense fear as his phone slipped from his hand unnoticed.
âBeep beepâŠâ
The communication cut off.
âDid the phone break?â
Yang Jian, looking at the fallen phone from outside the mirror, furrowed his brows.
But at that moment, he wasnât concerned about whether the phone was broken or not, but that the communication had been cut off, making further contact inconvenient.
From the previous situation, it seemed that the person inside the mirror could not hear people speaking from the outside.
He was also curious as to why Shangguan Yun entered the mirror⊠and where was that vanished ghost now?
