Chapter 161 Seventy-six. Strengthening Anna

  Cold, tired, and hungry Senger huddled in front of the dining table, only half of the chair on his butt. He didn't dare to sit up all of them, the sudden coldness would make him recall the past like when he was dying.

   He turned to the window, his haggard face reflected in the passing glass. The reflection that once tortured him to sleep at night doesn't seem to be scary now...

   Lu Li's calmness infected him.

   One to three, including four of myself, no matter how you look at it, you have a good chance of winning. And the detective looks amazing...

  Senger thought to himself, and suddenly a figure appeared in the reflection on the window.

   Lu Li, who walked to the dining table, put down the broth: "It allows you to replenish the energy and energy you have lost these days."

   A special exorcism meal?

  Senger guessed, picking up the spoon, ready to enjoy this delicious-looking meal, albeit chilled.

   "Not free."

"what?"

  Lu Li returned to the kitchen, cleaned the cutting board and the kitchen knife and put them against the wall. Anna's complaint sounded in his ears: "Why give the food I made to others."

  Lu Li didn't say a word, looked up outside the kitchen, frowning in front of the dining table, Senge, who was gulping down in pain with a face full of pain.

   She didn't realize anything at all.

  Lu Li picked up the bag of sucrose that Anna had used as salt and threw it into the trash can.

  Lu Li will subconsciously frown when he encounters a problem. The breakfast a few hours ago made Lu Li's brows never relax.

   That's enough to say.

  …

   At five o'clock in the afternoon, the detective agency began to turn dark.

  Anna lit an oil lamp and placed it on the desk to dispel the unpleasant gloom on the eyes.

  As the time draws near, emotions such as tension and fear reappear in Senge.

  According to Senger's description, the demon in the mirror will appear around this time.

  Lu Li picked up the mirror and handed it to Senge face down.

  Senge took it with trembling, hesitantly raised his head and looked at Lu Li: "Are we really going to do this?"

  Lu Li replied, "You don't need to be afraid. Ghosts are not as scary as you think. They were all human beings before they died, and you have no reason to be afraid of them."

   Wraiths and evil spirits above ghosts do not apply this.

   "I know...but I'm just afraid..." Senger squeezed out an ugly smile like crying.

   Without personal experience, it is difficult to convince ordinary people who stick to their ideas that ghosts are not scary.

   "What if it drills out and replaces me..."

   "Then you're out of luck."

   "W-what...?"

He raised his head in shock, watching the shadow projected on the bookshelf behind him, Lu Li, whose cheeks were half covered in oil lamp photos and half in the shadows, tremblingly said, "Then I, I...start...be sure to protect...protect me. …”

  Senger slowly turned the vanity mirror to the front with his trembling hands.

   His face was reflected in the mirror, and he instantly closed his eyes, refusing to open them.

   "Do you want to do it now?" Anna asked in a low voice.

   "Not yet." Lu Li replied.

   If the ghost in the mirror tries to take its place, as Senger described it, it will surely come out of the mirror waiting for an opportunity.

   "It's coming! It's coming!"

  Senger, who took a peek, closed his eyes again and shouted loudly, his palms shaking, shaking with the scene in the mirror.

   Lu Li did not speak, and continued to remain quiet.

   At first, there was a faint and cold aura that appeared from Senge and diffused.

  The difference from the daytime is that the mirror seems to respond, exuding the same breath.

   "Don't replace me Don't replace me Don't replace me..."

  Senger felt something, whispered, and his hand trembled more violently.

   The same face is reflected in the shaking mirror. As time passed, the two cold auras that emerged overlapped each other, regardless of each other, and the scene inside and outside the mirror also changed at this moment.

  Senger's raised arms were still shaking, and the mirror reflection at this time should also be shaking, but at the moment when the breath mixed together, the picture in the mirror no longer shook with the shaking of the hand.

  Senger's face clearly appeared in the mirror, with a penetrating smile at the corner of his mouth - the real Senger closed his eyes and his face was pale with fright.

  The ghost appeared.

   The ghost in the mirror didn't seem to notice anyone else. While Lu Li and Anna were watching, it gradually got closer to the mirror, and the face with a weird smile came towards the mirror, and then——

   Its face was stuck in a mirror the size of a palm.

   Anna, who was hiding behind the desk with Lu Li, pursed her lips in pain, forcing herself not to laugh.

  The ghost in the mirror quickly realized that this was not going to work. Its same face as Senger turned away from the mirror and turned its palms towards the mirror.

   There were ripples on the mirror surface, and a pale transparent arm stretched out from the mirror and grabbed Senge, who closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice.

  Lu Li was still sitting behind the desk without moving.

   This commission was prepared by Lu Li for Anna. Only if she removes the spirit by herself, will that power be absorbed by her.

   The arm that appeared in reality from the mirror has been fully extended, and the fingertips are only a dozen centimeters away from the trembling Senge.

   At this moment, Anna left Lu Li's side. She floated to the side of the mirror and grabbed the ghost's arm.

   She can't control her power in a subtle way, so just like she has always done, she must gather all her strength and shoot!

  Tear-

With the blessing of    full strength, the pale arm stretched out in the mirror was completely torn off by Anna and dissipated in the air.

"what!!!!!"

   A sharp scream came out from the mirror, Anna's dress shuddered, brewing her breath again, and attacked the mirror!

  Senger was startled by the scream, and threw out the mirror and hugged his head.

  The mirror flew up, and in mid-air, the echoing screams stopped abruptly.

Before    landed, a cobweb-like dense crack appeared on the mirror surface, and a tragic figure flashed away.

Snapped--

The    mirror fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

   Holding his head and jumping aside, Senge opened his eyes, panted and shouted, "That scream...it's mine...no, it's his voice! It was solved by you?!"

"Um."

  Lu Li's gaze fell to the empty space beside him, he felt Anna was there and his breath was rising.

   She succeeded.

   "Now let's talk about the commission fee, and the broth."

  Lu Li paused here and looked at the floor behind Senge.

   "And a broken mirror."

  …

   Watching Senge leave, Lu Li got up, left his seat, and stood behind the window.

   On the dark and gloomy streets, pedestrians rush to and fro.

   He saw Leaving Senger walking out of the longhouse and standing in front of the door. His back was no longer hunched, his panic no longer surfaced, the felt hat was placed on his head, and before he left, he seemed to feel something, turned around halfway, and confronted Lu Li behind the window.

   There was no gratitude and stunned in his imagination, Senger's eyes were similar to Lu Li's calm. Like a gentleman saying goodbye to a friend, he smiled, took off his hat, put it on his chest and bowed, put on his hat again, turned and disappeared into the crowd.
