After taking out a makeup mirror from her bag, Lin Xiaofan led Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao into the Mirror Realm.

Upon entering the Mirror Realm, although the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, the traffic on the road below and the city's hustle and bustle had vanished, creating an eerily silent atmosphere, akin to a surreal dream.

"The Shadow Demon is nearby!" Ye Yuqiao exclaimed, detecting an extremely cold Yin Qi and a strong Nether King's Power as soon as she entered the Mirror Realm.

No sooner had she spoken than Ye Yuqiao pulled out a Yellow Talisman from her pocket and started murmuring an incantation with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, there was a "boom" as the Yellow Talisman in her hand ignited. She then flung the burning talisman onto the ground, where it suddenly transformed into a wolf with snow-white fur.

Seeing this white wolf startled both Chen Hao and Lin Xiaofan.

"Follow this wolf, it will lead us to the Shadow Demon!" Ye Yuqiao said.

After howling, the white wolf dashed through Ye Yuqiao's door and bounded downstairs, with Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and Lin Xiaofan trailing closely behind.

Watching Chen Hao hold Ye Yuqiao's hand and leave him out made Lin Xiaofan's face darken with heartache and dejection.

Once they descended the stairs, the scene that greeted Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao left them stunned. They saw unmanned cars and motorcycles silently weaving through the roads. Nearby, a broom with no bearer swept through the air, cleaning the ground of yellow leaves.

"Don't be so surprised!" Lin Xiaofan said from behind them, "After all, this world inside the mirror is just a reflective one, it can only mirror the physical appearances of objects, but can't capture information like sound."

"Hmm!" Chen Hao acknowledged as he looked at Ye Yuqiao and nodded. He couldn't help but recall the first time he saw the Mirror Realm last night, suddenly realizing he had overlooked many details while chasing the red-dressed ghost woman, such as the curtains drawing close on their own, and the faucet turning on and off by itself. It turns out they were all normal actions initiated by real people outside the Mirror Realm; he just couldn't see the individuals carrying them out.

Chen Hao thought that to see people from the real world, they probably could only be seen through a mirror. With this thought, he shivered and pondered the times he had looked into a mirror, wondering if on the other side, sometimes, a pair of eyes might have been staring back at him.

"What a terrifying thought!" Chen Hao couldn't help but reflect.

The trio then continued to follow the white wolf.

Less than three minutes into the chase, the white wolf that had disappeared around the corner came running back and leaped into Ye Yuqiao's arms, locking eyes with her golden ones.

Through the wolf's eyes, Ye Yuqiao saw a ghost baby as tiny as a rag doll crawling rapidly on the ground, then leaping onto a passing car to escape.

After the car had driven off, the baby's face appeared on the rear windshield. It was only as large as Ye Yuqiao's palm, smeared with a sticky yellow fluid and streaks of blood, its eyes were mere slits as if it couldn't fully open them yet. Grinning at the pursuing white wolf, its smile was malicious and terrifying.

Putting the white wolf down, Ye Yuqiao urgently said to Chen Hao, "You were right, it's indeed just a newborn ghost baby, it has already escaped in a car!"

"Where could it be heading?" Lin Xiaofan couldn't help but ask.

"The Comprehensive University!" Chen Hao's eyes suddenly gleamed, "It wasn't born from its mother's womb but cultivated somewhere. That place has to be within the Comprehensive University! Since last night, more than a dozen male students have died, and all their Yin Souls have disappeared; it seems they've been taken into the Mirror Realm by it, as it needs to absorb a large number of Yin Souls to grow!"

"Damn it, so you shouldn't blame yourself," Ye Yuqiao's soothing words echoed in Chen Hao's mind, "even if you hadn't killed the Shadow Demon's mother, they would still have taken many students' Yin Souls into the Mirror Realm to feed the newly born ghost baby!"

"Yeah, Your Majesty, I get it," Chen Hao thought to himself, "Thank you for always being there to guide me!"

"You're still saying 'thank you' to me!" Ye Yuqiao immediately responded with dissatisfaction.

"Right, right, right, Your Majesty the Queen, what you said is true, I am your man now, I shouldn't say 'thank you' to you!"

Ye Yuqiao didn't speak in Chen Hao's mind, but asked aloud, "The comprehensive university is quite far from here, are we supposed to walk all the way there?"

"We can take the bus!" Lin Xiaofan immediately replied, "Even though we're in the Mirror Realm, the buses still run just like they do in reality, it's just that we can't see the driver or the other passengers. Plus, taking the bus is free of charge."

"Uh," Chen Hao instantly fell into deep thought, and while pondering, he asked, "So, does that mean flying on a plane is also free, and we don't even need to bring our IDs? Once on the plane, we can choose any seat we like, since nobody will fight us for it!"

"Exactly!" Lin Xiaofan nodded, "I just had a free trip abroad not long ago."

Chen Hao's eyes sparkled with admiration, he exclaimed, "I'm so envious of you!"

Watching Chen Hao's envious expression, Lin Xiaofan laughed smugly, made a funny face at Chen Hao, and said, "I might consider taking you with me next time."

"Let's get going!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly interrupted Chen Hao and Lin Xiaofan's conversation with an icy tone.

After speaking, she pulled Chen Hao's hand and quickly headed toward the bus stop, while in her heart she questioned Chen Hao, "Are you thinking about agreeing to go with her?"

"How could that be!" Chen Hao immediately denied, "I'm in the high-income bracket now, it's not like I'm short on cash!"

Seeing the figures of Ye Yuqiao and Chen Hao holding hands and walking away, a surge of sourness welled up in Lin Xiaofan's heart.

Upon arriving at the bus stop, after waiting a few minutes, the three of them boarded the 34 bus heading toward the comprehensive university. Sitting in the bus with no driver and no one else around, Chen Hao was filled with astonishment.

"Lin Xiaofan, if there's a car accident in reality, it would happen the same way in the mirror, right?"

"Yeah!" Lin Xiaofan nodded, then said with emotion, "This world within the mirror is, after all, a dominated world."

"A dominated world?" Chen Hao showed a puzzled look, "Why do I feel like there's something more to what you're saying? Could it be that there are some shocking secrets in the world of the mirror? Like, people like you"

"Enough!" Lin Xiaofan suddenly interrupted Chen Hao in anger, "Don't you know that disasters stem from careless talk?"

Chen Hao was at a loss for words! He was certain that Lin Xiaofan must know some major secret unknown to others; otherwise, she wouldn't have warned that disasters stem from careless talk.

Twenty minutes later, the three disembarked in front of the comprehensive university.

As soon as they got off the bus, using his Yin Yang Eyes, Chen Hao spotted a mass of purple Yin Qi in the northwest corner of the comprehensive university.

"The Yin Soul of the Shadow Demon is right there!"
