Chapter 8: The Fatal Text Message

  I smiled wryly and was about to turn around and leave, but the smile froze on my face.

  At this moment, a door appeared in the mirror, and there was also a crack.

  I thought I was seeing things, so I rubbed my eyes hard and then kept opening and closing the door to the room in front of the mirror, but the door in the mirror just...

  The thread does not move.

  I was stunned, and before I could recover, the door in the mirror suddenly creaked open, and a deathly pale claw stretched out from it!

  "Ah......" I was so scared by this scene that I wanted to turn around and run away, but my legs were too weak and I fell to the ground. When I tried to get up again, I found that I couldn't exert any strength at all.

  I stared at the ghostly claw in the mirror with a mixture of shock and horror, my mind repeatedly chanting "Amitabha... Amitabha..."

  I don't know if it was because of my recitation of Buddhist scriptures, but the hand that had been struggling for a while finally gave up and retreated back.

  At the same time, my mobile phone suddenly rang with a message tone.

  "You have a new short message, the message is from 'me'!"

  Every time a new message arrives, the phone will ring with a prompt tone. If there is a note in the phone, it will also bring the name of the sender.

  My weak nerves didn't react until the prompt tone sounded again, and I heard clearly, "You have a new short message, the message is from 'me'!"

  I wiped the cold sweat from my face, crawled up from the ground, but unfortunately my legs were still too weak, and I could only give up in despair. Looking at that strange mirror again, the door in the mirror had also returned to normal, as if everything that happened earlier was just my illusion.

  To be honest, although I saw such a terrifying scene on the night of Liu Tingting's death, I still find it hard to believe that ghosts really exist in this world.

  I struggled to get up and pulled down the entire bed sheet, along with the phone that was placed on it.

  I crawled on the ground and slid forward to pick up my phone, took a look at it and found a new text message, and the sender was surprisingly "me"!

  I indeed have saved my phone number in my mobile phone, and of course, the stored note name is "me".

  Sending a text message to myself? This is also too unbelievable. I feel a chill all over my body, and suddenly there's a feeling of suffocation.

  When I opened that message, I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave.

  "Don't be afraid when you see this message, because it's not a vengeful spirit sending you a death threat, but a lifesaving message. You must have seen the ghostly door in the round mirror, and everything that has happened is just as you suspected - it's not the work of worldly forces, but vengeful spirits! I know you want to stay out of trouble and avoid death, but sorry, you're also being targeted by the vengeful spirits. If you can't think of a way to deal with this, your corpse will...also appear...not just yours, but those people's too. I can predict for you the order of deaths that will follow: Da Liu, Xiao Peng, Zhang Xiaolu, Lin Wei...I know you're still doubting the authenticity of this message, so wait and see."

  After reading the content of this message, my first reaction was not whether to believe it or not, but who sent this message to me and why does the note on my phone say "me"?

  I hastily typed a few words "Who are you?" on my phone and then pressed the reply button.

  After a few seconds, the mobile phone rang again with a new message, still from "me".

  I opened the information and saw the content above, I was stunned, "Who are you?"

  That was the message I just replied to that person, and now it has been sent back to my phone again.

  I think there's only one possibility for this situation to occur, the sender and I are using the same mobile phone number. But thinking carefully again, this is also impossible, if the other party's mobile phone number is the same as mine, then I wouldn't be able to receive their message at all, just like my previous reply.

  After I sent out the information, what I received was actually myself.

  "Cough...cough..." I started coughing violently. Everything that had happened recently was just too unbelievable!

  "This is really freaking crazy!" I muttered to myself, knocking my head hard and feeling a bit of pain. It was clear that I wasn't dreaming, but if I wasn't dreaming, then how could I explain the events of the past few days?

  Even if there really are ghosts in this world and it's truly Lin Mei Xin's ghost coming back for revenge, why would she die at the scene of a class reunion? What is the real cause of death?

  I've thought until my head hurts, but I still can't figure out a reason.

  The phone suddenly rang "ding ding", startling me so much that I almost threw it away.

  It was an unfamiliar phone number, and I trembled as I pressed the receive button.

  "Hey, Lantian? I've got something to tell you. The building you're living in... is a haunted house." It was Xiaopeng's voice, trembling slightly.

  "Haunted house? How did you know?" I asked back in surprise, a chill running down my spine that I had never felt before.

  "I found it online, you can see it by searching for 'Mei Garden Road 8' on your phone." Xiaopeng said before hanging up the phone.

  Xiaopeng must be joking with me, or his joke is a bit too much.

  I was stunned, picked up my phone, typed in "Mei Garden Road 8", and after a Baidu search, many titles appeared with "Mei Garden Road 8, entire building residents collectively dead".

  I nervously opened one of the titles, which said: Ten years ago, on a night, all the residents in this building suddenly died for no reason. After investigating the cause of death, nothing was found, and it became the biggest unsolved case ten years ago. Since then, this old-fashioned ancient building has been abandoned here, and no one dares to live in it again.

  "It's fake... it must be fake! I've lived here for over a year, and every day when I come back, I see Uncle Li next door..." I muttered, but couldn't say anything more.

  I turned off the phone's page and reopened that message from "me". There are three ellipses in the message, the last one is not hard to understand, it means that after Lin Wei's death, there will still be people dying, but the first two ellipses are very abrupt, what do they mean?

  In my understanding of that sentence is: If you don't come up with a way to deal with it, your corpse will also appear in "a certain place" on "a certain day".

  But why did the sender omit these two places? Is it that this person wanted to intentionally tantalize me, so they omitted the most critical parts.

  Although I don't know who sent the message, one thing is certain: that person must be an acquaintance of mine. Narrowing it down further, it's possible that it's a colleague from the company, or maybe even Lin Wei, Xiao Peng and their gang.

  I suddenly thought of a terrible question, how did the person who sent me the message know that I just saw that door in the mirror?

  This mirror has been placed in the bedroom for more than a year, and I just found out that this mirror is strange.

  If the message had come a little earlier, I would have been at a loss. But in fact, the timing of the message was very timely, and just as that terrifying scene had disappeared, the message arrived.

  I absolutely don't believe that such a coincidental thing would happen under the sky, thinking about it over and over again, the problem can only be with myself.

  If it wasn't for someone installing a monitor on me, or this room being installed with a monitor, none of this can be explained.

  I calmed down and threw all these strange encounters behind me, putting my whole heart into finding the monitor.

  I took off all my clothes and searched carefully, but found nothing. Then I searched the room thoroughly, not even leaving out every corner, still nothing was gained, and there was no such thing as a monitor existing.

  I locked myself in the room all day, didn't go anywhere, took a look at that strange mirror again, thought about that eerie text message, and spent a day and night in terror, fortunately nothing happened.

  The next morning, I was awakened by the piercing ring of the phone. When I looked at the caller ID, it was Xiaopeng again. Had something happened? I felt inexplicably anxious.

  Pressing the phone receiver, a terrified voice came from the other end of the line, "Lan Tian, something's happened! Da Liu, Da Liu died last night!". The Forbidden Spirit
