Shocked, he gently pushed against the heavy bronze door, and it opened, but to Yang Xiao's surprise, the Mirror Ghost that was originally lying on the ground had vanished without a trace.
"Ran away?"
Yang Xiao was startled. After searching the room and finding no one, he quickly exited the room. But just as soon as Yang Xiao had left, a tiny figure crawled out from behind a high stack of books, its dull eyes fixed on the door.
The next second, Yang Xiao was back—indeed, he had pulled a feint—and this time, he caught the hidden Mirror Ghost red-handed.
Seeing Yang Xiao return, the Mirror Ghost, about the size of a six-month-old child, panicked and hurriedly ran back to hide behind the books. Peering through the gap between two stacks, the Mirror Ghost stared at Yang Xiao, its eyes filled with wariness, unease, and malice.
