Such an attack was useless against it. In fact, it could even be said that all physical attacks were useless against it.

However, when it wanted to take the next step, it was stunned.

It seemed to be unable to move. No, its movements had become slower.

“Continue,” Maron said as he looked at the Ghost in the Mirror.

The Ghost in the Mirror was very angry, but its speed suddenly slowed down.

For a moment, it couldn’t do anything to the human in front of it.

“Okay, you can go in peace.” Maron walked past the Ghost in the Mirror, then stretched out his Ghost Fingernails and stabbed it into the mirror.

The mirror shattered and fell to the ground.

The Ghost in the Mirror was stunned. ‘Weren’t they prey?’

Maron didn’t give the Ghost in the Mirror time to breathe. He stabbed the Ghost Fingernails into the back of the Ghost in the Mirror.

The Ghost in the Mirror began to twist in pain. Then, its body slowly faded and turned into a transparent object, which was absorbed by the Ghost Fingernails.

[Your Ghost Fingernails absorbed the Ghost in the Mirror and gained the mirror reflection ability.]

[Description of the mirror reflection ability: Where there is a mirror, the Ghost Fingernails can come out.]

At this time, the notification in Maron’s eyes lit up.

Seeing the notification, Maron instantly understood, as long as there was a mirror, the Ghost Fingernails could come out from inside, which was equivalent to an arbitrary door.

However, this arbitrary door could only be activated through the mirror.

[Congratulations on completing the mission: Ghost in the Mirror in the bathroom.]

[Mission reward: Two years of lifespan.]

[You have obtained the ability of Ghost in the Mirror.]

The future vision of the eyes projected the contents of the phone notification after one minute.

And now, Maron had eight years and five months of lifespan.

The Ghost in the Mirror had disappeared, and Maron put away his Ghost Fingernails.

Mary walked up and said a little embarrassedly, “You go out first.”

“Okay.” Maron nodded and then walked out of the bathroom.

He also knew that Mary had recovered.

He didn’t need to do anything else.

Maron returned to the living room and kept thinking about one thing.

There was no one in the city now. He didn’t know if they had been evacuated or if all of them were dead.

But according to the malicious ghosts of the employees of the clothing factory on the street, most of them should be dead.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many malicious ghosts appearing at the same time.

Maron took out his phone. The reward message had already been notified, but he didn’t look at it.

He looked at the list. The list hadn’t changed much. If there were any changes, there were already some people who had mastered the malicious ghosts’ puzzle.

Ding Ding Ding!

Just as Maron was deep in thought, his phone rang.

When he saw the number, Maron was stunned. It was his father’s phone number.

“Hello.” Maron picked up.

“Maron, where are you now?” A middle-aged man’s voice came from the phone.

“I’m still at the same place,” Maron answered.

“Do you know that you’re already at the top of the list? Someone is targeting you. You must be careful. Don’t show the abilities you’ve acquired to others easily.” Maron’s father instructed.

“I understand. You too,” Maron replied.

“Yes. The world outside is completely different now. The relevant departments have set up a special bureau to deal with malicious ghosts. Of course, this kind of organization can only deal with the weaker ghosts that cannot fight back easily. There are also some people who have become a civil organization that does all kinds of evil and specializes in snatching things that others have obtained.”

Maron’s father seemed to have some understanding of the current situation.

Hearing his father’s words, Maron couldn’t help but think.

According to his father, there were two organizations now. One was officially established, and the other was spontaneously established.

As it was spontaneously established, it was obvious as to why it was created.

Everyone only had five years of life. Only by establishing an organization could they live forever.

Once they had the capital to live, they would fight for it.

“I got it. I’ll pay attention in the future. You have to pay attention too.” Maron said.

“Yes, I’m in the next city now. It’s very safe. You have to be extra careful where you are. Our city has already been classified as a Restricted Zone. No one is allowed to enter.”

After Maron’s father finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

“Restricted Zone? No wonder there’s no one here. They’ve already evacuated.”

Maron put down his phone and couldn’t help but think.

‘Restricted Zone.’ As the name implied, it was a Restricted Zone.

A place that was classified as a Restricted Zone was very scary.

“Looks like I have to leave this place as soon as possible.” Maron thought of the malicious ghosts he saw on the street today, as well as the Ghost Students in the school.

Those ghosts appeared in large numbers, so he had to take them seriously.

One or two of them could be dealt with, but once they formed a union, it would be extremely difficult to deal with.

As he was thinking, Mary had already come out, holding the ruler in her hand.

She walked to Maron’s side and sat down, handing the ruler to Maron.

“I know this ability is very important to you. I can give you the ruler as a thank you gift,” Mary said.

Maron waved his hand and said, “No need. Keep it. It’s your capital to survive.”

He didn’t really need this thing that could slow down deadly ghosts. Even if he didn’t have it, he could easily deal with one or two deadly ghosts.

After all, his organs were very useful.

And now, to deal with deadly ghosts, he needed to understand the laws of deadly ghosts. All abilities were just auxiliary, unless there was absolute power.

What exactly was absolute power? No one could answer this question.

Even if Maron’s organs could awaken an ability that ordinary people didn’t have, without absolute power, he wouldn’t dare to say that he was very powerful.

Hearing Maron’s words, Mary took back the ruler.

“Then I can thank you in another form,” Mary said playfully.

She liked to tease this man who seemed so stoic all the time.

“What?” Maron looked at her in confusion.

Mary gave Maron a wink.

Seeing this, Maron got up and walked into the bedroom without looking back. He only said, “I’m tired. I’m going to rest.”

Mary was ready to be rejected. She looked at Maron’s back and said to herself, “Sigh, I don’t know when I can take you down.”

Mary stayed in the living room for a while and then walked to the room where Maron was.

After entering, she climbed onto the bed with ease and slept next to Maron.

“You’re still awake?” Mary looked at Maron and said.

Maron didn’t answer her. His mind was still thinking about something.

“What are you thinking about?” Mary asked again.

Maron felt the touch of Mary’s skin and said, “I’m thinking about how to throw you out.”

“You’re going to throw me out?” Mary’s tone suddenly became pitiful.

Hearing this, Maron immediately got up, picked up Mary, and walked to the living room.

“Hey, hey, hey, I’m wearing clothes, okay?” Mary hurriedly explained.

She didn’t expect that this man would really throw her out.

Maron ignored her, threw her on the sofa, and went back to the room.

Just then, Mary’s phone rang.

Mary picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then picked it up.

“Hello, pretty girl.” The voice on the phone was cold and lifeless, not like the voice of a living person.
