Soon, the door opened.

Standing inside the door was a woman in an apron, about forty years old, with some freckles on her face. She seemed to have been cooking before, and her hands were very greasy.

Wiping it on her apron, the woman showed a narrow smile: "You two, please come in quickly. The building is not peaceful recently, so everyone is more careful."

"It's okay." Chen Xue smiled in an official manner, and the two of them walked in.

The woman brought two cups of boiling water and put them on the coffee table and asked, "What's going on? There are only my son and me at home. It shouldn't have anything to do with us."

"Your son? Can you call him out?" Chen Xue seemed to have thought of something.

"My son is only eight years old. He can't do bad things, right?" The woman looked a little ugly.

"Sister, don't get me wrong, every family is like this. Everyone in the family needs to register to make sure there are no outsiders." Chen Xue made up a reason casually.

The woman nodded and went to lie on her side.

While she was leaving, Chen Xue looked at Jiang Chen with a strange look on his face: "I used my Public Security Bureau ID to question the residents in the building, and found that besides Zhang Meimei, there is another weirdo in this building."

"Many people have seen a little boy who often squats in the shadow of the corridor and eats with his back to others."

Jiang Chen's eyes moved, and he remembered the "friend" the little girl mentioned before.

"And I also learned from the nearby police station that the three previous victims had varying degrees of missing parts such as hands, feet, internal organs, etc." Chen Xue added.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed.

The previous victims of 502 only had facial injuries, but their bodies were intact. The characteristic of the disfigured ghost is that he only cut off the face.

This shows that something else has cut off the limbs of those corpses.

"I'm sorry, Yangyang is too shy. Why don't you go to his room and ask?" The woman walked out of the side bed and said apologetically.

"Okay." Chen Xue nodded.

"Then I'm going to cook first. Thank you for your hard work, comrades. Can we have dinner here later?" The woman walked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Chen and Chen Xue were lying on their sides.

A little boy was lying on the table writing and drawing. His face was very pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and there was a faint stench coming from his mouth.

Chen Xue winked and told Jiang Chen to be careful. She was almost certain that the little boy was the ghost that sneaked up on her.

Jiang Chen's eyes focused on demonic power, and he saw wisps of black resentment emerging from the little boy's body.

However, he had tried it outside before, and there was such resentment almost everywhere on the fifth and sixth floors of the building. He turned around to look at Chen Xue and had the same effect.

Demon power cannot help him directly identify a ghost trying to disguise itself.

"Kid, were you staying in the room just now?" Chen Xue tried to ask. She also had no way to identify the ghost now, so she could only guide the other party to reveal his flaws.

However, the other party only raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head without saying a word.

"We are your mother's friends, you don't have to be afraid." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, when these words came out, the little boy suddenly raised his head, stared at him, and said seriously: "Are you talking about the woman outside? She is not my mother."

These words made Jiang Chen and Chen Xue stunned.

"No, there is a family photo of a family of three outside. It is clearly that woman and this child. Is he trying to confuse us?" Chen Xue whispered.

Jiang Chen nodded. He also saw the family portrait, but at this moment his eyes were a little dark, and he deliberately asked: "Kid, did you say that on purpose because you had a conflict with your mother?"

"No, she used to be my mother." The little boy's expression was surprisingly serious: "One night, my mother was washing her hair in front of the bathroom mirror. When my father passed by, she suddenly raised her head and asked him to help her peel an apple."

"Dad went to get the knife and apple after hearing this. I was watching TV on the sofa."

"I didn't dare to tell my father. The only one who looked up was my mother in the mirror. The real mother neither looked up nor said she wanted to eat an apple."

"What?" Chen Xue was stunned.

Jiang Chen's eyes moved. The woman's behavior before was actually very abnormal. There were sounds of fighting downstairs. When the two came in, she didn't ask. She didn't seem to be curious at all.

"My dad has a habit of peeling apples, peeling them all the way to the end, and he succeeded that night." The little boy continued.

"After peeling the apple, he handed it over. This time the mother outside the mirror turned her head and took the apple, but the mother in the mirror kept washing her hair."

Hearing this, Chen Xue's expression changed.

"I didn't dare to say anything because my father didn't seem to notice anything unusual. So two days later, my father disappeared. My mother made a lot of meat dishes for lunch that day, but I didn't dare to eat a bite."

"After that, my mother would go out sometimes and buy a lot of meat, but I never dared to eat her cooking again."

"When I'm hungry, I go to the trash can downstairs to pick up food, and I eat secretly in the corridor before going home. Sometimes Liu Xiaoyao from 402 will share some food with me."

"My mother seemed to know what I was doing, but she never cared about it. She still cooked a lot of meat and vegetables every time."

After listening to the little boy's words, Chen Xue pulled Jiang Chen aside.

"What do you think?"

"He shouldn't be lying." Jiang Chen said solemnly: "I heard an urban legend that if you peel an apple completely in front of the mirror at twelve o'clock in the morning, you can see the mirror ghost as long as the peel is not broken."

"And if done improperly, the mirror ghost will take over a person's body and steal his life!"

"That person's soul will be sealed in the mirror for a lifetime."

"I've heard this statement too." Chen Xue nodded.

"But we still need to make sure." Jiang Chen took her out and came to the bathroom of this house. What made their pupils shrink was that traces of the glue that had been used to stick the mirror on the wall could be vaguely seen, but the mirror was gone.

The two of them instantly confirmed their inner guesses.

Because this is also part of the mirror ghost story.

In order to prevent the soul of the possessed person from coming back, it will smash the mirror that calls out to it!

"The meal is ready, Yangyang! Two comrades from the public security station, get ready to eat." The woman brought out plates one after another from the kitchen, containing five or six dishes, all of which were full of meat, making people feel sick just by looking at them.

Jiang Chen and Chen Xue walked over, and the little boy came out, but no one moved their chopsticks.

"Haha, is it not to your liking?" The woman smiled and seemed very enthusiastic: "Why don't you eat it? Eat it quickly."

Jiang Chen looked at the table full of dishes and sighed: "Sorry, I have high requirements for food."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "What does this young man like to eat? I'll cook it for you."

"High-end ingredients often use the simplest cooking methods. Sister, can you make large intestine sashimi?" Jiang Chen said.

The woman opened her mouth.

Large intestine... sashimi?
