Chapter 109: The Demons and Monsters Incident Happens Again! This Time! I'm No Longer Passive!_3
Thinking this, Su Yan turned off the faucet and drained the accumulated water from the washbasin. Then, he left the bathroom, closing the door behind him, and began to inspect the house.
The mirror was normal now, but that didn't mean it had been normal before. Thinking pessimistically, it was possible that a mythical beast had already escaped from the mirror. So, an inspection was necessary. With this in mind, Su Yan enhanced his Five Senses Perception to the maximum and carefully surveyed the house. He was worried that a mythical beast might have come out of the mirror and was hiding somewhere in his home. He couldn't rest easy without doing a thorough check.
And so, it took Su Yan about ten minutes to inspect the entire house, but he found nothing out of the ordinary. However, just to be safe, he woke up the Twisted Tree Spirit resting in the flowerpot. He then reviewed the high-definition footage it had automatically recorded and confirmed that there was indeed nothing amiss in the house. Only then did he relax a bit and breathe a sigh of relief.
Afterward, he hurried back to the bathroom to wash up. However, when Su Yan returned to the bathroom door, something strange happened: a GURGLING sound of water suddenly came from inside the bathroom.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan's expression changed instantly. At this time, his parents were at work, and his three younger sisters were at school. In the large house, he was home alone. So, the resurgence of the water's sound undoubtedly signified an event involving Demons and Monsters!
Thinking this, Su Yan's eyes turned sharp, and he rushed into the bathroom, unleashing his full Overbearing presence. He was immediately greeted by a strange sight: the faucet had been mysteriously turned on, and water was GURGLING out continuously, looking quite eerie.
After turning off the faucet, Su Yan instinctively looked at the mirror above the washbasin. Its surface clearly reflected his image, which seemed completely normal. Just as Su Yan was about to touch the mirror, a thick vine suddenly appeared within it, creeping towards his reflection. Seeing the vine in the mirror, Su Yan was baffled. Could everything happening in the house be the Twisted Tree Spirit's doing?
With that thought, Su Yan immediately turned to look behind him but found nothing there—certainly not the thick vine reflected in the mirror. At this, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He turned back to look at the mirror again, only to be startled to find the thick vine still there.
Not right! There was only a single vine left in the mirror! His reflection had disappeared!
Su Yan's expression grew somber. All these signs indicated the mirror was connected... The thick vine in the mirror wasn't from Xiao Ji in the house. It belonged to a creature from within the mirror.
Thinking this, Su Yan made a bold decision: he would enter the world within the mirror to investigate. Otherwise, it was too passive to have mirrors suddenly connecting around him all the time without understanding what was inside them. It felt like he was constantly on the defensive. Clearly, this was not a good rhythm. Being passive all the time meant he would sooner or later fall victim to an unseen enemy. For his own safety, and for his family's, he had to go in and see for himself what the world inside the mirror was really like. After all, he now had five lives, giving him a very high margin for error. He wasn't afraid of a momentary, fatal mishap.
Thinking this, Su Yan didn't hesitate. He reached out to touch the mirror in front of him, pushing forward slightly with force. Then, a soft PFFT sound was heard.
His fingertip successfully penetrated, and he immediately felt a tight sensation enveloping it. Besides that, there was a feeling like pressing against a membrane that pushed back from the other side. The resistance wasn't strong; it felt like it would puncture with a poke, lacking the resistance he had felt the first time.
Regarding this, Su Yan guessed it might be because he had devoured the Monster-Core of the giant eagle yesterday, significantly increasing his different surface fit degree Attribute.
He continued to push his finger forward. Suddenly, intense pain shot through him!
Su Yan watched in horror as the finger that had entered the mirror twisted like a rope vine. The twisting was spreading. In a mere instant, Su Yan's entire hand, his whole arm, and finally, his entire body twisted grotesquely.
Pain!
Pain!
Pain, pain, pain!
At that moment, Su Yan's Spirit quickly shattered, like a snowflake melting into water, instantly disintegrating.
Immediately after, a WHOOSH was heard. The next moment, Su Yan, body and soul, disappeared into the mirror in one swift movement.

PS: Asking for votes.
The plot has been quite challenging to write lately, and I want to create a few impressive scenarios to transition into the summer.
So about the extra updates, I will make up for them in the next few days. I'm afraid if I force it, the writing might suffer.
Anyway, I remember that I owe four chapters of 4000 words, and considering that I've been in debt for so long without repayment, I should offer a small token.
So I'll add two more chapters to the debt, making it six chapters, as a small punishment for taking too long to provide the extra updates.
