Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Medicine

"Creak—"

The door opened.

What a strong smell of blood!

The two of them stood at the doorway, nerves taut, peering into the bathroom.

The entire bathroom had been dyed red. In such a dim environment, it shouldn’t have been possible to see so clearly, but the blood-red color in front of them dyed everything around it, emitting an eerie crimson glow.

After taking a quick look, Bai Yanren tentatively stepped forward.

Under Bai Yanliang’s gaze, this small step into the bathroom was taken with great difficulty by Bai Yanren, his right foot even suspended in mid-air!

What was happening?

Bai Yanliang tried to reach his hand into the bathroom.

But even before he could get it inside the door, he encountered resistance!

Is this... a repulsive force?

It felt so familiar.

It was just like the resistance they would encounter in Fog Gathering when they were about to be sent back to the real world.

If this bathroom were a swimming pool, they would be like two inner tubes trying to forcefully squeeze into the water.

"It’s the door," Bai Yanren said.

Hearing his indifferent voice, Bai Yanliang was momentarily taken aback and found it somewhat strange.

However, this was actually a good thing.

The bathroom emitted a horrifying aura not because of a ghost but because the door was inside.

Although squeezing in was very difficult, they were still gradually making their way forward.

After a great effort, the two finally managed to "squeeze into" the bathroom.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, there was a tremor in the eardrums, accompanied by a sensation of vertigo. The moment Bai Yanliang’s whole body entered the bathroom, he immediately felt a pressure envelop him from top to bottom, inside and out.

He could clearly feel that this was another world.

Once inside, although the feeling of being repelled still existed, it was greatly diminished, at least not affecting their ability to move normally.

The first-floor bathroom wasn’t small. They had just entered the main door, with another door on the left leading to the men’s room and the right door leading to the women’s room.

This was a public area, and what caught their attention was an old mirror above the sink.

At that moment, water was slowly flowing out of a faucet beneath the mirror.

And creeping slower and slower.

It seemed that the sudden sound of running water wasn’t from someone flushing the toilet, but this faucet suddenly being turned to its maximum.

In other words, there was something else inside here.

This was to be expected; otherwise, Bai Yanren wouldn’t have mentioned pretending to be a ghost.

"Splash, splash, splash..."

The water from the faucet was almost stopping, and perhaps due to the blood-red tint, the liquid flowing out looked indistinguishable from fresh blood.

Bai Yanren didn’t focus on the faucet, although he was certain the door was inside this bathroom.

But in the men’s room or the women’s room?

Or... in a stall?

Additional searching was needed.

Although there was a door, it didn’t guarantee absolute safety.

So-called doors only provided an effect similar to a "prison," yet "door" rules benefited ghosts, while "prison" rules benefited humans.

Therefore, the best strategy inside the door was to pretend to be a ghost.

"Drip—"

The faucet almost stopped.

One drop after another of bright red liquid dripped into the sink.

Both of them sensed the eerie atmosphere and simultaneously focused their gaze on the sink.

"Drip—"

"Drip—"

"Drip—"

Everything stopped.

However, at that moment!

A woman’s face, completely decayed, suddenly appeared in the mirror. Her chest was sunken, her abdomen completely torn open, and she was bending over, reaching for the faucet to turn it back on!

"Splash—"

Water gushed out again.

The blood-red liquid sprayed from the faucet.

And the woman in the mirror eerily vanished.

Bai Yanliang immediately checked around, including behind him.

Nothing.

In reality, her figure wasn’t there.

However, when he turned to look back at the mirror, he suddenly met a pair of pupils covered in black!

She was in the mirror, watching him!

Bai Yanliang’s arms broke out in goosebumps.

He could clearly feel that the thing in the mirror was looking at either Zhang Yun or him!

It saw his soul through Zhang Yun’s body!

For the first time, he truly felt something was horribly wrong, a suffocating sensation surged through him.

Even worse, he was unable to speak or move his body!

Bai Yanren seemed not to have seen the ghost. He merely glanced at the faucet before turning his back to the mirror, continuing to look at the men’s and women’s room doors.

At this moment, on the old mirror’s surface, that terrifying woman’s figure was trying to get closer, stretching out her withered, decayed hands, reaching to touch the mirror’s surface.

Then, her hands truly passed through the mirror, extending into the real world!

Mirrors.

They are inherently a terrifying image, causing some to stare at their mirror reflection, leading to an unsettling thought: Who is that?

Once this thought forms, their face becomes increasingly strange, creating intense fear, making them afraid to look in the mirror.

Just then, Bai Yanren’s cold voice broke through.

"Close your eyes."

Without any hesitation, Bai Yanliang obeyed and closed his eyes immediately.

Swoosh—

The ghost woman who was about to emerge from the mirror vanished.

"Alright."

Hearing his brother’s voice again, Bai Yanliang opened his eyes.

Upon opening his eyes, he met Bai Yanren’s cold yet interrogative gaze.

"Do you still have emotions?"

Bai Yanliang’s heart skipped a beat; was this the reason he was targeted by the ghost?

In the past, Bai Yanliang could confidently assure his brother, no.

But now... that surge of sadness had appeared and was hiding somewhere deep, completely beyond Bai Yanliang’s reach.

"Recently," Bai Yanliang gave no further explanation.

Bai Yanren’s gaze grew colder: "You’re playing with your life."

Then, he reached into his pocket and carefully extracted a pill from an iron box, handing it to him.

"Take it."

"An emotion-controlling pill?" Bai Yanliang asked.

"Yes."

"How many are there?" Bai Yanliang had never heard of such a pill.

"Developed by Dr. Zhou, very rare, with severe side effects, so don’t take too many," Bai Yanren warned.

"Understood." Bai Yanliang looked at the ordinary pill, then put it in his mouth.

He became quite intrigued by Dr. Zhou; this person... seemed extraordinary.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Bai Yanliang immediately sensed something different.

Unlike other medicines, the pill transformed into a cool, mysterious sensation the instant it touched saliva, climbing through his nasal cavity and heading straight for his brain.

However, it encountered resistance.

Just as it was about to reach Bai Yanliang’s brain, it was stopped.

Bai Yanliang felt distinctly that a ghostly coolness vanished at his forehead, failing to ascend to his brain.
