Hearing this ‘special ping,’ the great demons stopped playing around and took out the newest item issued by their Lord not long ago – the latest Titanium tablet model.

Opening the new message and reading the order, they were at a loss. “We need to set up the best surveillance system in the Lord’s new storeroom?

“And get the evil spirits who set up the online network before to do it?

“And the followers on Earth will get rewards and preferential treatment if they make offerings for the surveillance system?”

No matter how puzzled they were by this order, the demons still went to look for those ‘tech experts’ who had been dragged down to Hell and had them make a list of things required for the surveillance system.

In any case, they didn’t need to do anything. They just needed to issue the list to the followers on Earth.

These followers had already offered the latest tablet models – it wasn’t a problem for them to offer even more tech products.

Thus, not long after, the group of demon followers on Earth were dumbfounded. What was the Lord doing? Was Hell also entering the age of social media? Wasn’t that too sci-fi?

When they had gone to the Titanium store to buy a tablet before, the latest model only cost a few hundred dollars, and it was the best tablet on the market.

Even the slightly poorer followers could still afford it, and setting up a P2P signal wasn’t hard.

But a professional surveillance system wasn’t something that could be set up with just cameras and cables.

A complete control kit and the specialized program for operating the system meant that… money had to be spent.

None of the ‘tech experts’ in Hell wanted to be held accountable by their Lord. To be safe, they listed all the best surveillance system brands.

The followers also didn’t dare offer trash surveillance equipment to fool the great demons.

A great demon could easily verify the truth of a follower’s words.

Whoever dared to fool them with trash would be tortured to death like trash.

Many poor followers cried. F*ck! If I were that rich, would I need to become a follower?

In order to survive, however, they could only work hard.

No money? They could swindle and steal from someone else. The demons had always encouraged this sort of behavior in their followers to begin with.

Only those who had done too many bad things would go to Hell.

That was all for later.

The true instigator, Luke, was suddenly sent a system notification: Injure Mephisto and delay his entry to Earth for twelve years. Mission accomplished.

He smacked his lips in surprise. “This… is really Old Mephisto? Why does this old man have a hand in everything?”

Based on simple deductions, Luke knew that Mephisto had left behind a lot of things on Earth, and Luke had run into them several times.

Apart from the clone that had been directly blown up at the beginning, there had been the evil spirits that came through the door to the afterlife, the Loom of Fate, and Satan’s inverted pentagram this time.

At first glance, they looked like the doing of other ‘gods,’ and had nothing to do with Mephisto.

If it wasn’t for the system notifications, Luke really wouldn’t have known that it was Old Mephisto he was dealing with.

Old Mephisto was too good at hiding. He had as many aliases and temp jobs as Luke did.

Also, Luke had spent 600,000 credit points this time, but the results were basically the same as with the previous 60,000 credit points.

Old Mephisto had definitely been prepared. Otherwise, he would’ve slept for several hundred more years.

His opponents nowadays were becoming more and more cautious! Even as Luke lamented at how cunning the enemy was, he didn’t forget to continue experimenting on Annabelle and the white-faced nun.

Physical damage was just the start. The real highlight was the various experiments which made use of energy, such as fire, electricity, ice, Mental Interference, Mental Resistance, Hypnosis, and so on.

After a lot of experiments, the two evil spirits had yet to die, but their mental energy fields were on the verge of collapse.

Real Dream pulled them soundlessly into an imaginary world.

At that moment, the two evil spirits had completely become Luke’s puppets and couldn’t resist.

He simply had them relive the memories of killing people in Real Dream, and the two evil spirits quickly became engrossed in this favorite activity.

Luke only needed to guide and watch from the side to figure out their relationship with the mirror ghost.

To put it simply, the Annabelle doll was the main body of the mirror ghost.

It was just that 40 years ago, it was subdued by a priest, and most of its powers were lost in the mirror room in the basement of the psychiatric hospital.

Its host, Anna Esseker, was sent to the convent by the priest and locked up in this secret room under the hill.

Annabelle, on the other hand, was locked up in the glass cabinet which possessed ‘holy power.’

Whether it was the secret room or the glass cabinet, both had this holy power.

Those under the control of an evil force couldn’t approach them, and the latter could only lead ordinary people into acting of their own accord.

Unwilling to be locked up, the doll could only get the mirror ghost to kill people to maintain its powers while it looked for a suitable candidate to rescue Anna Esseker and the doll’s main body.

As long as the doll, Anna Esseker and the mirror ghost were reunited, Annabelle would be free and regain all her strength.

The inverted pentagram altar wasn’t Annabelle’s work, but something that old Mephisto had hidden here a long time ago.

But nobody ever entered this secret room – Anna Esseker never had the chance to offer anyone else as a sacrifice.

When it was imprisoned, the doll couldn’t exercise control over the mirror ghost, which was more interested in killing people.

Thus, most people were either killed by the mirror ghost at the beginning, or they killed themselves because they couldn’t take the mental torture.

Thus, in 40 years of waiting, nobody came knocking.

After figuring it out, Luke was lost for words. This mirror ghost… wasn’t very smart!

It just enjoyed torture and killing, and caused its main body and host to fall into Luke’s hands.

What else could he say? Naturally, he should reunite the family of three so that they could be together forever.

…

Under the setting sun, Luke’s figure cast a long shadow on the road in front of the mall.

Looking up at the eerie-looking mall, he sighed inwardly. After today, there would be one less urban horror story.

Thinking that, he walked into the mall.

A moment later, there was a dull rumble underground, and the ground shook slightly.

All the mirrors in the mall exploded, and a violent shock wave blew old and loose wooden shutters open, and countless mirror fragments flew out of the building.

Under the setting sun, the sky was filled with glittering specks outside the dilapidated building. It was as beautiful as a dream.

A transparent, distorted figure slipped out the back door, cursing in a low voice. “F*ck, blowing up the sewage pipes the moment it came out. This mirror ghost is so dirty – it deserves to die.”

Behind him, golden-red sunlight shone into the gloomy mall, turning it bright and airy, and removing all traces of a haunted air.
