"What happened next?" I was engrossed in the story when Gu suddenly stopped narrating, so I pressed on.
"On my tenth birthday, my grandfather passed away." Gu closed his eyes slightly.
He had lived with his grandfather since childhood, and they undoubtedly shared a deep bond. Now, mentioning his grandfather's passing, his eyes slightly reddened.
A brief silence fell inside the cave. I waited until he composed himself a bit before speaking, "What did you see in the mirror?"
"I don't know. After my grandfather passed away, I never shunned mirrors again, but I also never saw that thing again. So over the years, I've always told myself it was a mistake."
"Have you ever considered that your grandfather's death might be related to that thing?" Qinghan suddenly spoke up from the side.
