Chapter 4

Maron went back to his room, found a suit of clothes, and went to the bathroom that came with the room. 

Splash! He turned on the tap, thought about it, and then took a bath instead. 

The whole world had changed, although he could now live as he used to before. 

But there was one more thing in life now, those were the ghosts, 

You didn’t know when they would appear. 

They could appear in front of you at any time and everyone only had a lifespan of five years. 

If you needed to extend your life, you had to complete missions. 

Maron figured something out. 

In the beginning, there was an initial mission, but as long as you passed the initial mission, and as long as you encountered a malicious ghost, it would trigger the next mission. 

Correspondingly, he would also receive a life reward. 

He believed that this time, many people must have died. 

Those who died would also become malicious ghosts. 

After these two terrible experiences, Martin could deeply understand that if his organs would not be like this, then he would have died by now, instead of having the spare time to care about other people. 

Maron turned off the tap and dried himself. 

Then he walked out of the bathroom. 

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he saw the girl waiting at the door of the bathroom. 

“Can I take a shower here?” Mary asked shyly. 

“Isn’t there another bathroom outside?” Maron asked, puzzled. 

Mary explained, “The one outside doesn’t release water.” 

“Okay.” Maron waved his hand and walked to the bed. 

Seeing this scene, Mary was a little puzzled. Was she not pretty? Or did she have a bad figure? 

She was starting to doubt herself. 

This man didn’t seem to be interested in her at all. 

Could it be that he couldn’t get it up?! 

Mary shook her head and denied this thought. 

She went to the bathroom, took off her clothes and prepared to take a shower. 

She kept thinking about it. 

How could a man with such strength, who could even kick down a wall, not get it up? As she thought about it, Mary’s bad mood today was swept away. 

Then she looked at herself in the mirror. She was indeed very beautiful and had a good figure. 

She hummed a song. 

When she turned on the water, the hot mist quickly covered the entire bathroom. 

Gradually, the mist grew stronger. Mary opened her eyes and her vision blurred. She could barely see her fingers. 

She was a little afraid, so she reached out to touch the tap with her hand. 

Finally, she touched the tap and when she turned it off, the sound of running water stopped, but the lights weren’t on anymore. 

“What’s going on?” Mary was starting to get nervous. 

Then she quickly turned on the tap and the lights came on again. However, there was no sign of the steam dissipating at all, instead, it was getting thicker. 

Mary’s eyes were covered and she couldn’t see anything at all. 

“Maron!” Mary shouted. Then she walked toward the bathroom door and left the bathroom in a hurry. 

But the scene outside the bathroom made her feel an inexplicable sense of fear. 

It was pitch-black outside, without any light. 

This was not Maron’s room at all, but pitch-black darkness. This kind of darkness was not like the darkness of the night, but like thick black ink instead. 

“Ah!” Mary screamed and ran back to the bathroom without looking back. 

Meanwhile, the bathroom had returned to how it was. There was no longer any misty steam and the lights were still on. 

Seeing this, Mary’s heart was in her throat. 

This was no longer a matter of whether she was afraid or not, because in such a short time, how could the steam dissipate so quickly? 

Even if it was blown by the wind, it would take a certain amount of time to dissipate, but now, the steam had inexplicably dissipated. 

Even the mirrors on the wall did not have water droplets condensed by the steam. 

Everything was too strange and Mary was stunned, she did not know what to do. 

Faced with endless fear, she could do nothing. 

“Ah ah!” Mary hugged her head in horror, then her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. 

Her entire body was weak. Now, as long as a malicious ghost appeared, she had no way to escape and she could only let it slaughter her. 

Time passed by minute by minute and Mary didn’t hear anything, and no ghosts came looking for her. 

Everything was still calm; it was as if nothing had happened here. 

Everything was seemingly normal, but it was the kind of normal that was abnormal, after all, this world was not the old world it was anymore. 

There were ghosts now, and this kind of normal was abnormal. 

Mary struggled to get up from the ground. 

She was afraid to go out because the darkness was still there. 

She stood up and looked in the mirror. 

There was no reflection of her in the mirror. 

Instead, there was an invisible shadow standing in the direction of the bathroom door. 

Mary shivered and looked back. There was nothing but the door. 

She did not believe it and looked back at the mirror. 

In the mirror, there was indeed a person standing in the direction of the door. 

That person’s face could not be seen clearly. It was as if someone had placed a filter on it. It was very blurry. 

But Mary was sure that there was a figure standing there! 

“No, no, I won’t die.” Mary shook her head frantically. 

She had already seen a malicious ghost, but it was far from what she was seeing now. 

The fear now came from her heart, from her entire person, it was as if every cell in her body was trembling. 

“Maron!” Mary called out for help with all her might. 

Right now, her only hope was Maron. 

She didn’t know if Maron was asleep at the moment, or if she was still in the same place as Maron. Nothing was known yet, but she had to try. 

“Maron!” Mary shouted again. 

Except for her own echo, there was no response. 

After a few more shouts, there was still no response. 

Outside the bathroom, Maron was asleep at the moment. 

He didn’t know what happened in the bathroom. 

He was too tired, especially his legs, especially after using the force of a thousand Djinn and his eyes were overloaded. So, he was still recovering. 

Fortunately, overuse didn’t affect him. He just needed to recover. 

Vaguely, Maron heard someone calling him but he turned over and went back to sleep. 

“Maron!” Suddenly, another call came. 

Maron woke up instantly and sat up. 

The voice seemed to come from the bathroom. 

He was very confused about what had happened in the middle of the night. 

So, he got up, put on his slippers and walked to the bathroom. 

The bathroom light was still on and the sound of water was still there. 

“What’s the matter?” Maron asked. 

After a while, there was no response. 

“Mary?” Maron shouted again, but there was still no response. 

Maybe something bad had happened. He pushed open the bathroom door. However, there was no one inside. The shower was still running, and the lights were still on. 

“What happened?” Maron was a little unhappy. 

After taking a shower, the water was not turned off, and the lights were also not turned off. 

Maron shook his head and turned off the faucet. He also turned off the bathroom lights when he went out. 

Then, he walked out of the bathroom and went to the living room. 

“Where is she?” Maron looked at the empty living room and asked in puzzlement. 

Could she have left? 

He shook his head and walked into the bedroom. 

But the bathroom light was on again. 

‘Hmm? I remember switching the lights off?!’ 

Maron was confused and without thinking, he walked into the bathroom. 

Just as he was about to turn off the light, he saw someone in the mirror!
