That was entirely Fat's subconscious thought. He followed the sound and saw that the "thump, thump" was coming from near the door, but there was no one outside the door in his sight.

"Thump."

"Thump."

The sounds were extremely dull, carrying far in the silent night. Fat's eyes were fixed on the door, one hand secretly reaching inside his clothes, where Li Bai's mirror was hidden.

Suddenly, a glint of light caught his eye. Fat noticed that the door was wide open, and the left door panel was shaking constantly. Because of the distance, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice, but he could.

The wind around wasn't strong, so it shouldn't be the wind causing it. And the most important thing was...the right door panel next to it was motionless.

It was as if something was constantly hitting it.

Without hesitation, Fat took out the mirror, removed the cloth wrapping it. The first feeling was cold, icy cold, as if it had just been dug out of an ancient tomb buried deep underground.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Fat slightly angled the mirror towards the front door. What he saw next in the mirror made his scalp tingle. Several distorted figures were standing with their sides turned to him, their faces almost pressed against the left door panel, slowly banging their heads against the door.

Each impact was accompanied by a dull "thump."

Even more terrifying, these people were holding several white pieces of paper in their hands, precisely...precisely the paper money that had flown away earlier!

The paper money had attracted these ghosts!

It would be a lie to say he didn't regret it, but it was too late to regret it now. Fat held his breath, not daring to exhale. He had heard the doctor say that street corners late at night were very easy places to attract evil spirits. When it was quiet at night, some homeless wandering souls would wander aimlessly. If someone happened to be scattering paper money, or burning incense to worship, it would be easy to attract these things.

Putting away the mirror, Fat slowly squatted down, trying to minimize his presence, hoping that these ghosts would take the money and leave quickly, and not make things difficult for him.

As if his persistence moved Heaven, not long after this thought arose, the dull thumping stopped abruptly.

"Really...gone?"

Before Fat could rejoice, he quickly aimed the mirror at the door. The next second, his smile froze on his face. From his perspective, the mirror reflected several pairs of rotten legs, standing right in front of him, their toes all pointed at him.

...

"And then?"

Looking at Fat, who was still trembling on the ground, the others were suspicious. Jiang Cheng knew that Fat was lucky, but what was happening now seemed...

"Then I fainted. When I woke up, those...those things were gone, and..." Fat glanced at a porcelain bottle beside him, recalling nervously, "Then there was a pit in the ground. My pit was dug, and this porcelain bottle was placed next to me."

Li Bai looked at the porcelain bottle, then at Fat's harmless face, and took a deep breath. "Are you saying...those ghosts helped you dig out this porcelain bottle?"

Judging by her tone, Li Bai herself didn't believe it.

Fat scratched his head. He didn't know how to explain it to everyone, because he was also confused. "I guess...it seems like it."

Li Bai's face darkened. Although she knew that the so-called cooperation didn't have much binding force for people like them, was it too perfunctory to try to fool them with such a reason?

Did he think she and Yao Shunyu were idiots?

Moreover, she had put in a lot of effort this time. In order to save Wang Fugui's life, she not only helped them analyze the taboos of the threshold, but also took the initiative to hand over the mirror to him. Was this the result?

This Wang Fugui and Jiang Cheng clearly didn't trust them!

Sensing Li Bai's emotional fluctuations, Yao Shunyu immediately interrupted with a smile, while secretly winking at Li Bai, telling her to restrain herself. "Brother Wang Fugui is blessed by the heavens. We are relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

"Yao Shunyu, you don't need to wink at Miss Li Bai. I'm not lying to you. Every word I said is true!"

Following the doctor for this period of time had greatly improved Fat's observation skills. Yao Shunyu's expression didn't escape his eyes. "You and Miss Li Bai helped me a lot this time. I'm very grateful. And I don't need to lie to you. What good would that do me?"

Fat's words were not unreasonable. Now that several forces had taken shape, there was no need to play such tricks when facing a strong enemy. Yao Shunyu and Li Bai also knew that if they died, Jiang Cheng alone would probably not be able to protect this Wang Fugui.

Since this layer of window paper had been broken, there was nothing to hide. Yao Shunyu said bluntly, "Brother Wang, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that we find everything in front of us difficult to understand."

"Are you sure you haven't left out anything?"

Yao Shunyu's tone wasn't too aggressive, which Fat could barely accept. "Really, there's nothing else. I was also frightened when I woke up and saw this porcelain bottle, but when I picked up the mirror and looked around, I didn't see those things. They were gone."

"I looked at the pit on the ground. The edges were very rough, and there were fingerprints. Those ghosts dug it with their hands."

Speaking of this, Fat felt a surge of gratitude for the ghosts who had taken the paper money, and it was Luo Tianhe who paid for it. He got a freebie from Luo Tianhe.

At this time, Li Bai, who had been silent, spoke. She stared at the mirror in Fat's hand and suddenly said, "Perhaps those ghosts didn't leave, but because of this mirror, they were affected by this mirror, which helped you complete the task. And they are now...most likely in this mirror. No, to be precise, they went to another world through this mirror."

"Another world..."

"Yes, which is the world they were originally supposed to go to," Li Bai emphasized. "Don't forget, these are all wandering souls."

Jiang Cheng understood somewhat. In the Roman Grand Hotel, those ghosts traveled between two worlds through mirrors. The effect of this mirror would only be more unbelievable.

This mirror could be compared to a portal, and Fat opened the door, guiding the remaining ghosts in the human world to the world they belonged to.

To repay the favor, these wandering souls helped Fat dig out the Grudge Infant Bottle before they left.

In this way, although it sounded a bit incredible, it at least made sense.

Yao Shunyu and Li Bai seemed to think the same as Jiang Cheng. The two secretly sized up the fat man from different directions, thinking that this fat man was really blessed by the heavens. If Luo Tianhe knew that the ghosts he spent money to hire had turned around and helped Fat complete the task, he would probably want to jump into the river.
