Inside and outside the mirror, Xie Yizhi spread out his palm, making a paper.
This should have been the most normal phenomenon, and the Water friends also took it for granted.
After all, even though Xie Yizhi said so, how could he play rock-paper-scissors with a mirror in the middle of the night and the reflection in the mirror actually make a different gesture?
Even if there was a ghost, it probably wouldn't be discovered so easily, right?
But only Xie Yizhi frowned slightly; this was expected by the Water friends, but not by him.
Xie Yizhi looked at himself in the mirror meaningfully, thinking, the ghost reacted quite quickly.
After a long while, a barrage finally broke the silence.
—【Nothing happened, last night was a peaceful night.】
—【Wrong channel, buddy…】
—【The streamer's house has no ghosts, the mirror also showed paper.】
—【Are there really smart people who believe that? It's obvious Ge is teasing you guys!】
—【But why do I feel like the streamer still looks serious?】
At this moment, Xie Yizhi had no time to pay attention to the live stream; he wanted to see how long this guy would pretend to be innocent.
This time, Xie Yizhi didn't even bother to call out.
He directly made a move, rapidly changing his hand gestures in front of the mirror, getting faster and faster.
Scissors!
Rock!
Rock!
Paper!
But without exception, his reflection in the mirror made the exact same movements, leaving the Water friends stunned.
—【Is Streamer Ge getting agitated?】
—【Hahahaha, he's gone overboard, these hand gestures are so fast it looks like he's forming seals at the village entrance.】
Until the very last moment, Xie Yizhi narrowed his eyes, keeping a trick up his sleeve, pretending to make a fist.
The mirror opposite indeed followed suit and made a fist, but in reality, Xie Yizhi's fist was just a diversion.
Looking from top to bottom, it certainly looked like a rock, but if viewed from other angles, one would notice that his ring finger and pinky were sticking up!
In other words, Xie Yizhi actually used his last two fingers to make scissors!
The reflection of Xie Yizhi in the mirror showed a subtle, almost imperceptible change in his eyes, quickly following suit by raising his ring finger and pinky.
But it was too late.
Not only Xie Yizhi saw it, but hundreds of Water friends in the live stream also saw it clearly.
—【My… my eyes weren't deaf just now, were they? Did Xie Ge in the mirror make scissors afterwards?】
—【Not deaf, he did make it afterwards!】
—【Oh no, I'm getting goosebumps all over.】
—【So now it means there's a ghost in the streamer's house!??】
—【Run! Ge, what are you still doing standing there?! Are you scared stiff?】
The Water friends were anxious for Xie Yizhi through the screen, but Xie Yizhi remained rooted to the spot, looking at his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
This drove the Water friends crazy, and they started typing with the same intensity as they did in discussion groups back in the day.
They tried to awaken Xie Yizhi through frantic barrages, making it clear that Xie Yizhi's house was haunted, yet he was still foolishly standing there.
He was too timid, scared to this extent.
Perhaps because the live stream's activity increased, it started pushing streams, causing the number of online viewers to reach over a thousand!
After more than a minute, Xie Yizhi finally spoke.
"Oh my god... then I lost?"
Xie Yizhi said in disbelief.
—【???? So the streamer's first reaction is that he lost rock-paper-scissors?!】
—【Ge! Run, Ge!! That's not a person, that's a ghost! You want to win rock-paper-scissors against a ghost?!】
—【Oi! Oi! (Frantically slapping belly)】
—【Wait, the streamer's gone wild! Why is he playing rock-paper-scissors again!?】
—【What does that mean? Best two out of three? Or does he have to win one before he sleeps?】
Under the live camera, not only did Xie Yizhi not run, but his first reaction after realizing what happened was to start playing rock-paper-scissors again.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
"Rock, paper, scissors!!"
"Rock, paper, scissors!!!"
After being discovered, the thing in the mirror stopped pretending. Xie Yizhi called out three times, and he lost every single one.
This scene was truly too bizarre.
The Water friends in the live stream didn't dare to speak, just watching Xie Yizhi's face grow increasingly grim with each loss.
He even threw his glasses, and his complexion was slightly flushed.
In contrast, the Xie Yizhi in the mirror had shifty eyes and a smirk on his lips, with a hint of mockery.
The more Xie Yizhi looked at that punchable expression, the more annoyed he became. This ghost was living in his house and dared to show no courtesy?
Not a single win, when had Xie Yizhi ever endured such humiliation?
Thinking of this, Xie Yizhi could no longer hold back and reached out directly to grab his reflection in the mirror.
The ghost inside thought Xie Yizhi was going to continue playing rock-paper-scissors. Before it could even make a gesture, its collar was grabbed through the mirror.
"????!"
The ghost's eyes looked at Xie Yizhi as if it had seen a ghost.
Xie Yizhi's movement was so big that it even knocked over the phone stand beside him, and the camera was instantly covered in darkness.
—【My… my eyes weren't deaf again, were they? Did Streamer Ge just grab the collar of Streamer Ge in the mirror?】
—【Not deaf, Ge seems to be a bit of a sore loser.】
—【Ge isn't panicking at all about the ghost, but losing more than ten rounds of rock-paper-scissors? Ge's world just collapsed!】
—【What? What sound? Who's screaming!?】
Although the video was lost, the audio was still normal.
The Water friends only heard a series of horrific screams echoing through the live stream, sharp and piercing, and it was unclear whose screams they were.
Their hearts trembled just listening, and they could imagine how brutal it was without even seeing the screen.
The anxious Water friends were pacing around their living rooms.
They were worried that the ghost had come out of the mirror and was harming Xie Yizhi, and some even considered calling the police for help.
The screams lasted for a good while before slowly subsiding.
The phone was propped back up, and the live stream screen finally regained its light.
Seeing Xie Yizhi safe and sound, without any trace of injury, the Water friends finally relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, it's fine as long as the streamer is okay...
But upon closer thought, they immediately realized something was wrong. If Xie Yizhi was fine, then who was screaming just now?
All the Water friends turned their gaze to the mirror hanging above the washbasin.
Sure enough, the ghost in the mirror was now disfigured.
Smoke was rising from its head, its face was bruised and swollen, and its clothes were torn into a mesh hanging on its body, no longer resembling Xie Yizhi in the slightest.
"Again."
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
Xie Yizhi shouted.
This time, he made paper, and the ghost in the mirror dared not act presumptuously, wisely making a rock.
Xie Yizhi pursed his lips, suppressing the smile that was about to form, then turned to face the camera and slowly said, "See, I won, so there's no ghost in my house."
—【No, buddy, who would believe you!!!】
