Chapter 206 The Mystery of the Mirror Abyss

Chapter 1: The Strange Image in the Mirror

In a corner of the antique market, Lin Yue discovered an old bronze mirror. The mirror was covered with a thin layer of dust, but when she gently wiped away the dust, a strange attraction pulled her in, making her take the bronze mirror home without hesitation.

That evening, Lin Yue finished washing up as usual and prepared to rest. She sat at her dressing table, listlessly picking up the bronze mirror and fiddling with it. Suddenly, the image in the mirror distorted, and a blurry figure flashed past. Lin Yue rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things. But when she looked at the mirror again, the figure reappeared, this time clearer—a pale-faced woman with mournful eyes, staring intently at her.

Lin Yue screamed in fright and threw the bronze mirror aside. Her heart pounded, and cold sweat soaked her back. She picked up her phone, trembling, wanting to call her friend, but her hands shook so badly that she couldn't dial the right number.

After a while, Lin Yue calmed down a bit. Mustering her courage, she slowly approached the bronze mirror, only to find that the woman in the mirror had vanished. "I must be too tired and hallucinating," Lin Yue reassured herself, then stuffed the bronze mirror into a drawer and hurriedly went to bed.

However, from then on, Lin Yue's life was completely disrupted. Every night, that woman would appear in her dreams, telling her endless grievances. Lin Yue was terrified in her dreams and would run around frantically, but she could never escape the woman's entanglement. During the day, she was mentally confused, made frequent mistakes at work, and her colleagues all cast strange glances at her.

Lin Yue knew she couldn't continue like this. She decided to investigate the origin of the bronze mirror thoroughly and unravel the mystery.

Chapter Two: Clues from the Antique Shop Owner

Lin Yue brought the bronze mirror to the antique market and found the shopkeeper who sold it to her. The shopkeeper was an elderly man over sixty years old, with a tuft of white beard and a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Boss, do you remember this bronze mirror? I bought it from you a few days ago." Lin Yue took out the bronze mirror and handed it to the boss.

The shopkeeper took the bronze mirror, examined it carefully, and said, "I remember, this is an old bronze mirror. What, young lady, do you want to return it?"

Lin Yue shook her head and said, "No, boss. Ever since I bought this bronze mirror, I've been having nightmares. In my dreams, a woman keeps haunting me. I want to know, what is the origin of this bronze mirror?"

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, I don't really know the origin of this bronze mirror. I got it from a junk collector. It looked quite old, so I thought I'd sell it for a good price."

Lin Yue realized that her boss was hiding something, and she said urgently, "Boss, please don't hide it from me. I'm going crazy because of this. If you know anything, please tell me."

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Alright, since you insist, I'll tell you. This bronze mirror used to belong to an old house. It's said to be haunted, and many people have seen strange things inside. I only bought it because I was greedy."

Lin Yue was startled and asked, "Where is that house?"

The shop owner told Lin Yue the address of the old house. After thanking the shop owner, Lin Yue left in a hurry.

Chapter Three: The Mysterious Old House

Following the address provided by the boss, Lin Yue arrived at the mysterious old house. The house was situated on the edge of the city, surrounded by overgrown weeds, appearing quite desolate. The main gate was tightly shut, the paint peeling off to reveal rotten wood.

Lin Yue took a deep breath and mustered her courage to push open the gate. With a creak, the gate slowly opened, releasing a musty, old smell. The yard was cluttered with miscellaneous items, and moss grew in the corners. Lin Yue cautiously entered the yard, looking around.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Lin Yue felt a chill run down her spine. She instinctively turned around, but saw nothing. "It must be because I'm too nervous," Lin Yue reassured herself, and continued walking forward.

She arrived at the main house of the old mansion, the door ajar. Lin Yue gently pushed the door open, and a musty smell filled the room. Some worn-out furniture was placed inside, and several yellowed photographs hung on the wall. Lin Yue approached the photographs and noticed that the people in them had expressionless faces, their eyes revealing a strange undertone.

In the corner of the room, Lin Yue found a worn-out box. Curious, she walked over, opened it, and inside were some letters and a diary. Lin Yue picked up the diary, flipped through it, and although the handwriting was somewhat blurred, she could still barely make out the contents.

The diary belonged to a woman named Su Yao, who recorded her tragic experiences in it. It turned out that Su Yao had once been the mistress of this old house. Her husband, a wealthy businessman, was having an affair. When Su Yao discovered this, she had a huge fight with her husband, who, in a fit of rage, locked her in the old house. Su Yao suffered endless torment in the old house and ultimately died filled with resentment.

After reading the diary, Lin Yue felt a pang of sorrow. She seemed to understand now; the woman who haunted her dreams was Su Yao. Su Yao must have died with unresolved grievances, which was why she used the bronze mirror to find her.

Chapter Four: The Appearance of the Mysterious Man

Just as Lin Yue was engrossed in the contents of her diary, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Startled, she turned around and saw a man in a black trench coat standing in the doorway. The man was wearing sunglasses, so she couldn't see his face.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Yue asked warily.

The man didn't answer her question. Instead, he walked straight into the room and picked up the diary from Lin Yue's hand. He quickly flipped through it, then looked up and said, "You shouldn't be here. This isn't something you can interfere with."

Lin Yue frowned and said, "Who are you? Why do you say that? There must be something fishy about Su Yao's death. I must get justice for her."

The man sneered and said, "Seeking justice? Who do you think you are? The situation behind this is far more complicated than you imagine. I advise you to leave now, or your life will be in danger."

Lin Yue was not intimidated by the man's words. She said firmly, "I'm not afraid. I must find out the truth."

The man shook his head helplessly and said, "Since you won't listen to my advice, there's nothing I can do. But remember, if you encounter any danger, call my name. My name is Leng Xuan." After saying that, the man turned and left.

Lin Yue watched the man's departing figure, her heart filled with questions. Who exactly was this Leng Xuan? Why was he here? And what did he know?

Chapter 5: The Clues End

Lin Yue decided to continue investigating Su Yao's death. Following clues in her diary, she found Li Qian, Su Yao's husband's former mistress. Li Qian was now a wealthy woman living in a luxurious villa.

Lin Yue arrived at the villa's door and rang the doorbell. After a while, a young woman opened the door. The woman wore heavy makeup and designer clothes, and her eyes revealed a hint of arrogance.

"Who are you? What do you want?" the woman asked.

Lin Yue said, "Hello, my name is Lin Yue. I'd like to find Li Qian; I have some questions for her."

The woman looked Lin Yue up and down and said, "I am Li Qian. What do you want with me?"

Lin Yue told Li Qian about Su Yao's situation, hoping she could provide some clues. Li Qian's expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. She said impatiently, "I don't know what you're talking about. Su Yao's death has nothing to do with me. Go away and don't bother me again." With that, Li Qian turned to close the door.

Lin Yue quickly blocked the door with her hand and said, "Li Qian, you must know something. Su Yao died so tragically, don't you feel any remorse?"

A flicker of panic crossed Li Qian's eyes. She shouted, "If you don't leave, I'm calling the police!"

Just then, a black sedan pulled up in front of the villa. A middle-aged man got out of the car. Upon seeing Lin Yue, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "What brings you here?"

Lin Yue recognized the man; he was Su Yao's husband, Chen Yu. Lin Yue said, "Mr. Chen, I would like to know the cause of Su Yao's death."

Chen Yu frowned and said, "So many years have passed since Su Yao's incident, so don't dwell on it anymore. It won't do anyone any good."

Lin Yue said, "Mr. Chen, Su Yao died under mysterious circumstances, and I can't just leave it like this."

Chen Yu and Li Qian exchanged a glance, then Chen Yu said, "Since you won't listen to our advice, there's nothing we can do. However, I'm warning you, don't investigate any further, or you'll regret it." With that, Chen Yu and Li Qian went into the villa and closed the door.

Lin Yue stood at the villa's entrance, feeling utterly dejected. She hadn't expected the investigation to go so poorly. The trail seemed to have ended here, and she didn't know how to proceed.

Chapter Six: An Unexpected Discovery

Just when Lin Yue was feeling desperate, she suddenly remembered Leng Xuan. She decided to do as Leng Xuan had said and call his name if she was in danger. So, she stood at the villa entrance and shouted, "Leng Xuan, where are you? Come out and help me!"

A while later, Leng Xuan appeared as expected. He looked at Lin Yue and said, "I knew you'd run into trouble. So, do you believe me now?"

Lin Yue said, "Leng Xuan, I can't give up like this. There must be something fishy about Su Yao's death, and I have to find out. Can you help me?"

Leng Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I can help you. However, you must follow my instructions."

Lin Yue nodded in agreement. Leng Xuan led Lin Yue to an abandoned factory. The factory was deathly silent, filled with a pungent odor.

"What are we doing here?" Lin Yue asked.

Leng Xuan said, "This used to be one of Chen Yu's secret factories. He did some shady things here. Perhaps we can find some clues here."

Lin Yue and Leng Xuan searched all over the factory. Suddenly, Lin Yue spotted a hidden door in a corner. She excitedly shouted, "Leng Xuan, come quick, there's a hidden door here!"

Leng Xuan walked over and, together with Lin Yue, opened the hidden door. Behind the door was a narrow passage, filled with a putrid stench. Lin Yue and Leng Xuan carefully descended the passage and found that it led to a basement.

The basement contained some strange instruments and equipment, and photos and documents hung on the walls. Lin Yue approached the photos and discovered that the people in them were all young women, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

Lin Yue picked up a document, opened it, and saw that it contained evidence of Chen Yu's crimes. It turned out that Chen Yu, in pursuit of exorbitant profits, colluded with criminals to conduct illegal human experiments. Su Yao discovered his secret and wanted to report him, but Chen Yu, in order to silence her, imprisoned her in the old house and had her tortured to death.

After reading the document, Lin Yue was filled with anger. She said, "Leng Xuan, we must expose Chen Yu's crimes and seek justice for Su Yao."

Leng Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, but we need more evidence. These documents are not enough to bring him to justice."

Chapter Seven: Caught in Crisis

Just as Lin Yue and Leng Xuan were about to leave the basement, they suddenly heard footsteps. They quickly hid. They saw Chen Yu enter with several of his men.

"Boss, I heard someone is investigating Su Yao. Could it be targeting us?" one of the subordinates asked.

Chen Yu frowned and said, "I'm worried about that too. This factory is our secret base, and we absolutely cannot let anyone find out. Search it carefully and see if there's anything unusual."

The men began searching the basement. Lin Yue and Leng Xuan hid in a corner, barely daring to breathe. Suddenly, one of the men spotted them and shouted, "Boss, there's someone here!"

Chen Yu and his men immediately surrounded them. Chen Yu's expression turned extremely ugly when he saw Lin Yue and Leng Xuan. He said, "It really is you. I warned you not to meddle, but you wouldn't listen. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."

After speaking, Chen Yu's men rushed towards Lin Yue and Leng Xuan. Lin Yue and Leng Xuan engaged them in fierce combat. Leng Xuan was agile and quickly defeated several of their men. However, the enemy outnumbered them, and Lin Yue and Leng Xuan gradually found themselves in a difficult situation.

Just as Lin Yue and Leng Xuan were about to give up, Leng Xuan suddenly took out a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it on the ground. Smoke instantly filled the air, and Lin Yue and Leng Xuan took the opportunity to escape from the basement.

Chapter 8: The Involvement of a Mysterious Organization

After escaping, Lin Yue and Leng Xuan decided to report the case to the police. They handed over the evidence of Chen Yu's crimes to the police, who took it very seriously and immediately launched an investigation.

However, things didn't go so smoothly. Chen Yu had an inside man in the police force. After learning that the police were investigating him, he immediately destroyed all the evidence and arranged for his men to retaliate against Lin Yue and Leng Xuan.

Lin Yue and Leng Xuan's lives are in crisis as they are constantly hunted down by Chen Yu's men. Just when they are feeling hopeless, a mysterious organization finds them.

The leader of the mysterious organization was a woman named Murong Xue. She told Lin Yue and Leng Xuan that they had been investigating Chen Yu's criminal group and hoped to cooperate with them. Lin Yue and Leng Xuan readily agreed.

With Murong Xue's help, Lin Yue and Leng Xuan obtained more evidence of Chen Yu's crimes. Working closely with the police, they finally brought Chen Yu and his criminal gang to justice.

Chapter Nine: The Truth Revealed

After being arrested by the police, Chen Yu confessed to his crimes. He admitted that he had ordered Su Yao's death and that he had hidden Su Yao's body in the basement of the old house to cover up his crime.

Based on Chen Yu's confession, the police found Su Yao's body in the basement of the old house. Lin Yue looked at Su Yao's body, her heart filled with grief. She had finally brought justice to Su Yao.

After handling Su Yao's funeral arrangements, Lin Yue decided to return the bronze mirror to the antique shop. She went to the shop, handed the mirror to the owner, and said, "Sir, I'd like to return this bronze mirror to you."

The shopkeeper took the bronze mirror and said, "Young lady, have you solved the mystery of the bronze mirror?"

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Yes, boss. Thank you for telling me the address of the old house, which allowed me to seek justice for Su Yao."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do. Actually, I've known for a long time that this bronze mirror is extraordinary, but I've never had the courage to investigate it. You're a brave girl, and I admire you very much."

After thanking the shop owner, Lin Yue left the antique shop. Her life finally returned to normal, but she knew that this experience would be forever etched in her heart.

Chapter Ten: A New Beginning

After experiencing this harrowing event, Lin Yue became stronger and braver. She quit her job and decided to pursue her dreams.

On a sunny day, Lin Yue packed her bags and embarked on a new journey. She didn't know what the future held, but she was full of confidence and anticipation. She believed that as long as she persevered, she would definitely achieve her dreams.

Meanwhile, Leng Xuan and Murong Xue continue their efforts to uphold justice in their respective fields. Their story continues...
