{It was as if the Female Ghost had been waiting for you and your sister all along. The moment you entered the bathroom, her figure appeared in the mirror.}
{"I'll ask one last time. Are you certain this ritual won't harm my sister? And if we help you find the mastermind, you will guarantee the safety of my family?"}
{The Female Ghost nodded. She said there was no real conflict between her and your family, no reason to harm you. Even the conflict with your grandmother had only been a misunderstanding.}
{Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, and since you were helping her find the mastermind, she naturally had no reason to hurt your family. As for protecting you, that was something she should do.}
{Seeing that the Female Ghost didn't seem to be lying, you exchanged a glance with your sister and then nodded. Under the guidance of the Female Ghost, you began the ritual.}
{Throughout the ritual, you kept your eyes on the Female Ghost, trying to detect any signs of deceit in her words or actions. But in the end, you couldn't find anything suspicious.}
{Under her direction, the ritual quickly came to an end. For the first time, you learned the Female Ghost's name: Catherine.}
{With the ritual complete, the Female Ghost successfully entered the mirror your grandmother had left for your sister.}
{Catherine was ecstatic, laughing maniacally inside the mirror. It seemed she had waited a long time for this day!}
{Without anyone manipulating it, the mirror suddenly flew from your sister's hands. The Female Ghost appeared to have fully seized control of the mirror.}
{It seemed she could now move freely through this mirror, no longer confined to just the one in the bathroom.}
{"Now that the ritual is complete, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"}
{You shielded your sister behind you, a creeping sense of unease rising in your heart. Ever since the Female Ghost entered the mirror, something about her behavior had felt off.}
{"Fulfill my promise?"}
{"Relax. As long as you obediently help me find the mastermind, I'll protect you."}
{Her voice echoed from within the mirror, casual and dismissive—completely different from before.}
{"My family and I are not your subordinates, nor your puppets. This is a partnership!"}
{Your face darkened. The bad feeling grew stronger.}
{"A partnership? You think you're my equals? On what basis?"}
{The Female Ghost burst into mad laughter. The mirror spun rapidly, and then she emerged in full form, her true body revealed. dark Yin wind energy surged violently, and the temperature in the bathroom plummeted.}
{Your and your sister's faces changed dramatically. You roared in fury, "You're going back on your word?!"}
{Catherine looked dismissive. "So, what if I am?"}
{"But I really must thank you. You're far more sensible than your parents. They flatly refused to let your sister perform the ritual. Luckily, you helped. Otherwise, I might never have entered the mirror!"}
{"So don't worry, I won't kill you. If I do, you'll be the last to die. Happy now?"}
{The Female Ghost's emotions swung wildly. Faces kept emerging on her face and body. She was no ordinary Malevolent Ghost. After the village massacre, she had become a true Vengeful Spirit!}
{"My parents refused to perform the ritual?"}
{You were stunned. You hadn't expected that the Female Ghost had also proposed this to your parents.}
{"Yes, your grandmother seems to have warned them, which is why they refused no matter what."}
{"Ah… the blood of a Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon…"}
{"Ahhhh!!!"}
{"So delicious!"}
{Catherine was nearly delirious, as if drunk on ecstasy.}
{Your and your sister's expressions grew even more grim. The Female Ghost knew there was a Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon inside your sister. Of course, she had once possessed your sister!}
{No, she had left your sister's body because the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon's attributes had affected her, forcing her out!}
{You realized you had made a terrible mistake.}
{"So, you lied when you said the ritual wouldn't harm my sister?!"}
{Your face darkened so much it was almost dripping.}
{But the angrier you became, the happier Catherine seemed. Her excitement only grew.}
{"The ritual really won't harm your sister, but now she must obey me. After all, I was summoned with her blood. I'm her god now! Hahaha!"}
{"And the blood of a Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon will make me even stronger."}
{"I really should thank you. Coming to me for cooperation? I never thought a coward like you could actually help me accomplish this!"}
{"So yes, I'm genuinely grateful!"}
{She spoke with apparent sincerity, but her face wore a mocking smile.}
{"So even if we help you find the mastermind, you'll still come after us in the end?!"}
{You stared at her, grinding your teeth in fury.}
{"Not if you behave. As long as you obey me, I won't hurt you. After all, we have no real grudge, except that I caused the death of your grandmother and turned your whole family into murderers!"}
{She said this with a laugh, looking at you like a fool.}
{In that moment, your rage and frustration vanished. A sarcastic smile even curled at the corner of your mouth.}
{Of course, ghosts were never to be trusted. No wonder the word "ghost" is in "ghost stories."}
{Catherine's face darkened. She didn't understand why you suddenly changed, nor why your expression now looked amused—like you saw her as a clown.}
{"You're asking to die?!"}
{Her face turned icy, dark Yin wind erupting violently. Your mocking look made her deeply uncomfortable.}
{She didn't know what gave you the nerve to lecture her, let alone mock her, but she was certain you had something up your sleeve.}
{"Catherine, I wanted to see you as a person. Why must you insist on being a ghost? Look at yourself, do you have any humanity left?"}
{Your mocking expression deepened, tinged with genuine regret.}
{"Oh, and one last bit of advice, villains die from talking too much and losing their cool."}
{"I'll eat you alive!!!"}
{Catherine roared in fury and lunged at you.}
{No matter what backup you had, she believed only dead people were safe people!}
{Stop the simulation!}
{Current Simulation Ended. Duration: 1 hour 43 minutes. Current Mental Value: 64.}
