Chapter 5

Even Brett Carroll, who has weathered many storms, couldn’t hide the tremor in his voice as he said this. “I saw my wife holding a comb, combing her hair in front of the mirror, in that completely dark bathroom.”

Everyone gasped in shock. Of course, Walter William showed no reaction at all.

“What!” Lady Karollet let out a shrill exclamation. “Then why haven’t you ever told me before!”

“I really don’t dare to say that…” Brett Carroll smiled bitterly, then continued speaking.

Figures outside the window, fleeting faces, faint cries from the next room…

Is this a fucking horror movie?!

Master Zhang was completely panicked.

It seems like it’s not possible… Can an ordinary person really handle this situation?

“Master Zhang, that’s all for now… What are your plans?”

Bright Carroll wrapped her clothes around herself. She wasn’t sure if it was just an illusion, but she felt that the room became increasingly eerie.

Whether it’s the temperature or the atmosphere.

“I… of course, I have my own plan!”

Master Zhang gritted his teeth and took out several talismans and a peachwood sword from his backpack.

“Laojun in heaven, act swiftly as commanded! All warriors, form up in battle order!”

Pfft!

Your password combines elements from multiple techniques!

Walter William couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

However, in the next moment, one of the talismans actually began to float in the air. With a hiss, it caught fire. Then, Master Zhang threw it forward. As soon as it was thrown, it exploded mid-air with a loud bang.

At the same time, a figure with its back to the wall appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Ah!!!” Lady Karol collapsed in terror on the ground.

Master Zhang’s face turned pale with fear, and he stood there, stunned.

“I’m here! I’m here!” Brett Carroll kept urging him again and again. Finally, Master Zhang came to his senses. Trembling, he picked up a few talismans and threw them forcefully.

Bang!

The talisman paper exploded in the air once again, burning up in an instant. It was extremely dazzling to watch. At the same time, that figure gradually disappeared behind the wall.

“No, it’s not over yet. Look over there.” Walter William pointed toward the wall that was closer to the group.

“Ah!!” With her eyelids fluttering, Lady Karol completely lost consciousness.

“Damn it… I can’t do anything!” Master Zhang was so frustrated that he could barely speak properly. “Ye… Carol, I’m powerless to help. I’ll take my leave now!”

That shadow clearly had no intention of giving him such a chance. With a hiss, it rushed at him with its entire body.

It’s over!

Jill Carroll instinctively closed her eyes.

“Don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me!!”

Master Zhang tried to run away, but his legs trembled violently. His body went weak, and he collapsed to the ground in terror. His hair became tousled in an instant, and a pool of yellow liquid flowed from beneath him, soaking the carpet.

It seemed like there was a muffled sound. Jill Carroll opened her eyes and saw Walter William standing in front of Master Zhang, casually gripping the monster’s forelimbs in his hands.

“This… this…”

With a light snort, a perfectly executed shoulder throw was delivered. With a loud thud, a large hole appeared in the floor. Walter William grabbed the Mirror Demon with one hand, while raising the other fist high into the air. A bright white light wrapped around his fist. Then, he slammed it down with force!

Click… Click-clack…

The floor instantly shattered into pieces. An even larger crater appeared in the hall than before. The mirror demon was covered in cracks, and its dead-eyed sockets seemed about to burst out of their sockets.

“Die.”

A ball of white light gathered in Walter William’s palm. With a wave of his hand, the white light struck the Mirror Demon!

Bang!

The Mirror Demon’s entire body shattered in mid-air, like a torn burlap sack that had been overstretched to the limit…

It took several seconds before Walter William wiped his fist. “Mirror Demon, with a weak physical body, usually uses illusions to scare humans in its early stages, sucking in their vital energy for its own use. It’s rare that someone like you, with mere magical tricks, would actually manage to lure out a Mirror Demon.”

Master Zhang was completely stunned. It took him a moment to snap out of his daze after hearing what he said. He cried bitterly and tried to hug Walter William’s legs, but was naturally kicked away.

“Magic trick supplies like quick-burning paper, a broken wooden sword, and those little tricks used outside the villa. Didn’t expect to run into real experts in deception and fraud, did you?”

“No… no!” Brett Carroll woke as if from a dream. His lips trembled as he stepped forward toward Walter William, as if meeting his own father. “You’re the real expert! You’re the one who knows everything!”

Just thinking about his arrogant attitude moments ago, Brett Carroll wished he could slap himself a dozen times!

This is literally like a god!

How is it possible for someone to create a ball of light in their hands? When thrown, its destructive power is even greater than that of a grenade!

“What! Brett Carroll, have you lost your mind?”

Lady Karol heard this scene as soon as she woke up, and immediately cried out in shock.

“Do you even have the right to speak here?”

Snap!

A bright red handprint appeared on Lady Karol’s face.

“Brett Carroll, you hit me?” Mrs. Carroll covered her face, clearly in disbelief.

“It’s you I’m hitting!” Gnashing her teeth, she slapped Mrs. Karol several times. Her face became red and swollen, and blood even appeared at the corners of her mouth. With her hair tousled, she resembled a madwoman.

“Lord of the Carroll family! What about me? What about me?”

Master Zhang had no idea where he got the nerve to look at Brett Carroll with such hope in his eyes.

"You? How dare you even say that!?"

Brett Carroll’s face darkened instantly. All his anger finally found an outlet: “Someone! Drag him down and break every bone in his body!”

“No! I know I was wrong, Lord of the Carroll family! Lord of the Carroll family! Lord of the Carroll family!”

“Is your surname , sir?” Brett Carroll asked, his tone being anything but direct.

There was nothing he could do. Looking at that big hole in the ground, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Especially with all those mirror demons appearing in the novel, is this still the world I know?
