I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 956 504: Human, Stay Away from Me!!!

"So, you're the elevator spirit, right?"

Gu Shanhai looked at the elevator making creaking noises, not because the spirit wanted Gu Shanhai to understand what a ghost's anger was, but because it was quivering in fear.

"Oh, no? That's too bad. Keep steady and try not to shake too much. I need to head to the basement for something," Gu Shanhai said calmly.

The mirror spirit, residing in the elevator, trembled uncontrollably. It was due to fear that the elevator was behaving in such a manner.

Initially, it thought it was very safe hiding in the elevator, but unexpectedly, it encountered a human upon exiting.

Although it hadn't met Gu Shanhai in person, it learned from the barrages that this human had first boiled and eaten the Blood Ghost, and then cruelly tortured the Red Shoes spirit to death. The entire process was livestreamed by the Red Shoes spirit. From dissection to death, all ghosts could see the agony. In the end, even its body became a human's plaything.

The mirror spirit is a ghost without a physical form, able to reside in mirrors or places reflecting light like the elevator, serving as a habitat.

If it were a powerful mirror spirit, it might move through mirrors or water surfaces reflecting light, but unfortunately, it was too weak to move effectively, only able to reside.

This is why Gu Shanhai could capture it.

Ding-dong~

The elevator reached the first floor, the door slowly opened, and Gu Shanhai stepped out, glancing back at the mirror spirit.

"Aren't you going to come out with me?" Gu Shanhai asked in confusion, "I thought we had formed a solid friendship during our brief interaction."

Vast malice materialized, the mirror spirit in the elevator shivered even more violently.

"Seems like you're not going to accept my kind offer, then..." Gu Shanhai's tone darkened, seemingly ready to act.

"I... I can't get out!" The mirror spirit was almost crying. It was truly unfortunate.

The mirror spirit can only exist in mirrors, and coming out was impossible. It was trapped in the reflective area within the elevator due to its powerlessness, unable to move, thus trapped inside, or it would have escaped long ago, rather than remain in the elevator.

After all, compared to taking the stairs, the chance of encountering a human in an elevator is quite high.

"Ah, I misunderstood you then." Gu Shanhai felt slightly embarrassed. When they searched the apartment complex, they had actually taken the stairs.

They discovered the ghost in the elevator but tacitly chose not to mention it, mainly because it was genuinely weak.

That's why Gu Shanhai came to tease this mirror spirit intentionally, not expecting the truth to be like this.

"So, as long as there's a mirror, you should be able to move, right?" Gu Shanhai said, taking out a mirror from his pocket.

To the mirror spirit, this mirror seemed like a horror itself.

"Are you... sure this is a mirror?!" The mirror spirit looked at the peculiar, clawed life form in Gu Shanhai's hand; it could indeed reflect people, but it was definitely a living being, emitting a kind of hunger, making the mirror spirit feel that if it dared to agree, it would become the mirror's food.

"Yes, I usually use this thing as a mirror," Gu Shanhai said as he slapped the snarling mirror, signaling it to behave, and the mirror then stayed still.

"Come on, get in. Behave, or I'll be rude later." Gu Shanhai's tone was amiable, but his malice was already solidified.

Even the mirror in his hand stretched out, sticking to the area the mirror spirit resided in.

At this instant, a chilling coldness invaded the mirror spirit's body; it knew that it either had to obediently come out or die here.

Finally, it trembled its way into Gu Shanhai's mirror through the connection formed by mutual repulsion.

"Good, you're very obedient. I'll go easy on you later," Gu Shanhai praised.

Upon hearing this, the mirror spirit cried out in fear, although trying to suppress its sobs to avoid torture by this human; it had learned of the Red Shoes spirit's ordeal in detail from the barrages.

Moreover, in this mirror area, it dared not move at all. Unlike a normal mirror space, this one was filled with malicious intent. Even a slight touch would result in unbearable pain and its thoughts frozen by cold.

So naturally, it dared not act recklessly.

Though it felt somewhat lucky that it was still alive, unlike the Blood Ghost and the Red Shoes spirit, who were completely dead.

"Basement, basement, let's see where the basement is." Gu Shanhai muttered softly.

The mirror spirit heard this but felt puzzled; there was no basement in the Garden Apartments. Neither the guide it had watched before nor after residing in the elevator revealed any basement button.

But considering the other party was human, it didn't dare question.

Gu Shanhai walked around the first floor and soon found a suitable spot.

"Here it is," Gu Shanhai casually pointed, and a terrifying basement entrance opened under the confused gaze of the mirror spirit.

Upon witnessing this, the mirror spirit grew even more frightened; it was sure there was no basement here.

'Unless... hidden horror!' At this moment, the mirror spirit felt utterly hopeless.

As a newbie ghost who just entered 'Ghost Survivor,' even survival was extremely difficult, let alone encountering hidden horror. While there was still hope to survive, now it understood that its biggest hope was to keep its body intact after death.

It didn't believe it would be one of those rare ghost prodigies capable of cracking human horror concepts to escape. After all, growing up watching 'Ghost Survivor' streams, very few ghosts among a hundred successfully manage the beginner's stage alive, let alone the later, harder ghost survival instances.

"Huh? You're afraid, huh. You're providing excellent quality fear," Gu Shanhai abruptly spoke, realizing that after he made the basement using oral decree, it seemed the spirit imagined some significant event, hence being so panicked.

At this moment, the mirror spirit was too frightened to speak.

"Hopefully, it's not scared stupid." Gu Shanhai worried; he hadn't researched it yet, and how could it become dumb so soon?

"Hang in there; I haven't checked your body yet. I want to see how you're different from the Red Shoes spirit."

Now, Gu Shanhai could only try comforting and treating it with words, but the more he spoke, the purer the fear produced by the mirror spirit became.

"Oh~ The taste of fear is really good; haven't had this in a while."

"Forget it, keep fearing for a while; I'll use your fear as an ingredient later."

Seeing that comforting didn't work, Gu Shanhai decided to encourage negatively, aiming not to waste anything.

Then he went straight to the basement, equipped with facilities using oral decree.

After closing the entrance, it seamlessly disappeared, almost impossible to discern there was a basement entrance there.

After all, the daylight was approaching soon, and residential kids and workers would be leaving. He was on the first floor and couldn't intentionally leave a sign, or it wouldn't be easy to explain.

Had it not been for the Air Wall engulfing the apartment tirelessly, Gu Shanhai certainly wouldn't have placed his lab here.

As for the natives, they weren't affected by the Air Wall; Gu Shanhai considered leaving this world through them, but it was cut off.

And the Air Wall's intensity wasn't low; it seemed to interfere from higher levels, preventing the three players and ghost survivors from leaving.

'This Ten Thousand Races Arena has something.' He murmured quietly, dismissing any ideas of using brute force against the Air Wall or indirect clever tactics.

Hard tasks weren't to his liking, so he decided to squeeze the ghost survivors, who were like pliable soft targets.
