Chapter 40: The Little Man Walking on the Wandering Orchid

  "I've found it! I've found it!" Tian Mi exclaimed, holding up a glass bottle filled with transparent liquid from an iron cabinet.

  Wang Ke suddenly looked at the glass bottle in Tian Mi's hand, his eyes seemed to be staring at a lifeline, reminding him: "Be careful, don't break it, maybe this is the only one in the lab!"

  "It's no good, she's coming. Quick, turn off the lights or we'll be exposed!" The butterfly suddenly fixed her gaze on the window outside, as if she could see through the dark green curtains to the scene outside the laboratory.

  As soon as the butterfly's voice fell, Wang Ke rushed to the door and "slammed" it shut. The laboratory was suddenly plunged into darkness, and at this moment, the white light on the butterfly's body also disappeared abruptly, looking no different from ordinary people.

  At this time, the corridor outside the laboratory suddenly made a "click! click! click!" sound, and just for a moment, the sound stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. Tian Mi quietly walked to Butterfly's side, handed over the glass bottle in her hand, and whispered: "Why did it suddenly stop? Do you want to go out and take a look?"

  The butterfly sank into thought for a moment, then waved its hand and said: "She's just outside, this cheap woman must have had doubts! Doesn't dare to come in rashly!"

  Tian Mi thought about the butterfly's words carefully and felt that they were also reasonable, after all this was a laboratory, if she rashly rushed in, who knows what kind of disaster might occur.

  At this time, Wang Ke also walked to the side of the butterfly, and it seemed that the butterfly had now become the center of the three people. She stroked the butterfly, her face tense, and whispered: "Look at the window over there, is someone lying on it?"

  Tian Mi did not turn her head slowly towards the window.

  "Tian Mi, don't look, just pretend you didn't know!" The butterfly suddenly spoke out and stopped Tian Mi.

  Tian Mi immediately turned her head back, but just now her peripheral vision had caught a glimpse of something. On the dark green window curtains was projected a palm-sized semi-circular black shadow. The shadow didn't move at all, as if it were peeking inside the house, yet not quite, for peeking would never be so blatant and unscrupulous!

  The female ghost's behavior made the three women wonder if her IQ had dropped a bit.

  Time passed, and the black shadow in front of the window still didn't move at all, just like a wooden stake nailed to the window.

  Just as Tian Mi was secretly scolding, she heard the butterfly exclaim in a panic: "No! I've fallen into their trap!" This was the first time Tian Mi had seen the butterfly look so panicked, and it scared her heart into skipping a beat.

  With a "click", the light that had just been turned off suddenly lit up again. The three girls looked at the switch by the door, and there appeared a half-person-high mirror in front of it. They had no idea where this mirror came from or when it appeared there. At this moment, however, Butterfly was the one who looked the most uncomfortable among the three girls, because the person reflected in the mirror was her.

  This sudden and unexpected change made them feel a chill run down their spines. The butterfly was the first to come back to her senses, and she immediately smashed the glass bottle in her hand towards the mirror, trying to shatter it. However, what they didn't expect was that from within the mirror, a pale hand stretched out and effortlessly caught the bottle.

  The three women, seeing this, immediately wanted to run away and avoid the mirror. At this time, another arm stretched out from the mirror, extending several times its original length, and grasped the butterfly's neck.

  Wang Ke reacted extremely quickly, rushing towards the mirror in an instant. He didn't know where so many hands came from inside the mirror, and two arms stretched out from it, one hand pinching towards Wang Ke, while the other hand's target was naturally Tian Mi.

  Tian Mi was shocked and lost color, and immediately stretched out her hand to block, but that arm seemed like air, it could touch others, and as soon as others touched it, it would disperse. It was very eerie, and the final result was that Tian Mi's throat was also pinched shut.

  Of the three, except for Butterfly, the other two felt that what was being pinched was not their bodies, but their souls. They almost had their souls squeezed out of them.

  A strange woman's icy voice suddenly came from the mirror: "Sister, you said it, this short-haired girl's body is mine!"

  Wang Ke Yi heard this and was shocked in his heart, thinking that this was exactly about himself. He struggled even more desperately at once.

  "Sister, when have I ever cheated you? As long as you help me catch this butterfly, I'll help you find a few more leather pouches." This voice was obviously Lu Xiaoling.

  The butterfly's body trembled suddenly, and a pair of bright eyes revealed a fierce light: "You wretches, I see you're sisters joining forces. I acknowledge it, but I'd rather die than be captured by you! Hahahaha, hahahaha!"

  The butterfly suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed maniacally twice, its body suddenly turning into a dazzling white light. The white light then shattered into tiny star-like particles, like scattered silver powder reflecting the sunlight and emitting a brilliant glow. These particles converged into a cluster and with a "whoosh" sound, they drilled into a pot of orchids by the wall!

  At the same moment, a piece of space was shattered above the orchid, and a soul drilled into the orchid. Suddenly, every branch and leaf of the orchid emitted white light in all directions.

  A small man walked down from a leaf of the orchid, his whole body shining with silver light. As he grew bigger and bigger until he was as tall as a person, the silver light suddenly disappeared.

  "It's actually you!" The mirror transmitted a surprised voice.
