Strange clicking sounds rang out from the dark kitchen, one after another, as ghastly claws were scratching at the cupboard, scaring everyone until their hairs stood on end.
Master Jin raised his hand and pointed at the dark room. He mumbled incoherently for a long time but was unable to say a complete sentence, then rolled his eyes and fainted again.
No one cared about Master Jin. Everyone’s faces were cold and their hair stood on end as they looked at the kitchen.
Beitang Lie instantly cowered. His body started trembling uncontrollably. “Bo… Boss… why are there still noises in the kitchen?”
Chi Jiao gripped her pistol tightly and said calmly, “We will know after we take a look, right?”
Beitang Lie was so frightened that his eyes nearly popped out. He shook his head crazily. “No, no, no, I don’t want to!”
“If you don’t go, your bonus for this month will be gone,” Chi Jiao threatened.
Chi Jiao was Beitang Lie’s superior. Of course, she could dock his salary.
Beitang Lie nearly cried when he heard this.
Sob sob, this was an abuse of power!
However, Beitang Lie knew that it was useless to resist. He could only quietly follow Chi Jiao.
“Master, be careful!” Wang Yan called out worriedly.
Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie walked into the pitch-black kitchen. The strange sounds had stopped.
Chi Jiao could clearly feel that the magnetic field in the kitchen was very strange.
The entire kitchen’s magnetic field had been completely distorted. It was extremely sinister and terrifying. It wasn’t unexpected for something terrifying to appear in such a place.
But Chi Jiao did not sense the aura of the Soul Stone or a mutated creature.
Even deep into the kitchen, she did not find anything amiss.
She looked at the innermost wall and muttered to herself in bewilderment, “Strange, why isn’t there anything?”
“Isn’t it good that there isn’t anything? What else do you want!” Beitang Lie had just finished speaking when the electrical circuits in the house suddenly returned to normal. All the rooms except the kitchen lit up.
With a “whoosh”, a glaring light was projected onto a mirror in the middle of the coffee table. The mirror was facing the kitchen and reflected a strange red beam at Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie!
Just as Chi Jiao suddenly sensed the aura of a mutated creature, she was sucked into the mirror by the red light!
Everything happened extremely quickly. In just a short moment, Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie were sucked into the mirror and disappeared completely.
Wang Yan’s eyes were also blinded by the strong light. She screamed and opened her eyes to look at the kitchen, only to find that Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie were gone!
At that moment, all the light bulbs, mirrors, and glass in the room exploded!
The exploding sounds echoed in the room, accompanied by Wang Yan’s screams. The entire room fell into darkness again, and a terrifying red beam shot out from the mirror on the coffee table.
The intense red beam seemed to have painted the entire room red. Wang Yan was so frightened that she started gasping heavily. She swallowed her saliva and stood up trembling, looking at the mirror on the coffee table.
Wang Yan remembered this mirror. It was the most ancient-looking bronze Eight Trigrams mirror in their house. It was covered in blue rust and looked especially like an antique. That was why Chen Kai had bought it and placed it in the middle of the living room.
And it was this mirror that faced the kitchen every day.
Recalling the red beam that shone into the kitchen and swallowed Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie, Wang Yan looked at the mirror in fear.
