Then, just as Yukino was looking in the mirror and lost in thought, her eyes suddenly widened in utter terror.
The reflection on the back of the mirror clearly showed a red and white phantom image suddenly appearing on the toilet behind it.
A chilling wind swept through, instantly plunging the entire bathroom into an icy abyss.
...
On the other hand, the floodwaters had completely engulfed the first floor of the apartment building and were moving towards the second floor.
At the same time, the red mist began to encroach on the mansion.
The residents on the first and second floors went crazy, scrambling to move their belongings to the third floor.
The residents who were previously evicted from the second floor were relatively lucky. They had nothing on them, no food, and no blankets, so they went straight up to the third floor.
But those who take over other people's homes and usurp others' nests are not so lucky.
They carried their bags upstairs, only to find that someone else had taken their belongings!
"You want to steal my stuff? You're asking for it!"
One of the residents on the second floor, who had just come down from the third floor to carry food, was the first to roar angrily.
The ruthless man who had usurped the throne showed no fear in the face of this enraged group.
"asshole!"
"Do you think we don't know?"
"We weren't the ones who picked the lock earlier!"
"If you really want to have a go, let's have a contest!"
A group of people whose homes had been seized stood in front, roaring loudly.
The lie was exposed instantly, so they didn't dare to actually take action.
If we win, it's good that we can get our items back.
If I lose, I'll probably be beaten half to death and then thrown into the water. When the police come to investigate, they'll only be able to pull out a swollen, submerged corpse.
This is on the premise that the police station is still operating.
"snort!"
The few who had taken over the house planned to band together to resist, but the residents of the occupied house were not about to let them go easily.
Previously, breaking down the door was not worthwhile because it was in the way, but now that the door is gone, they are determined to reclaim their food, or they will starve to death!
"Hand over my food!"
Enraged that his home had been usurped, a man snatched a bag of grain back from the other man's hands.
"you..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? This is my stuff!" the man glared back angrily.
A neighborhood dispute was thus sown, and the seeds of disaster were sown!
...
Chang Wei waited at the toilet door, but Xue Nai never answered.
Suddenly, Yang Nai received a message on her phone.
Help! There's a ghost in the toilet!
Yang exclaimed in surprise, "A ghost? In the toilet?"
"Could it be a pervert?"
Chang Wei frowned, stood up, and walked towards the restroom.
Just to be on the safe side, we didn't rush in and risk getting killed.
Instead, he cautiously peered through the crack in the door, observing secretly.
Chang Wei indeed caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar woman appearing at Yukina's house.
The back view of a girl wearing a white sundress, a white shirt, short bangs, and a dark red mottled pattern printed on the dress.
Aside from being a little pale, she looked like a cute and adorable girl.
Hanako kept banging on a toilet door. Unlike most people who mainly use their wrists to knock, her entire arm swung wildly like a beckoning cat.
The woman's unusual behavior made Chang Wei feel uneasy.
"Her behavior was really strange."
"And the woman's arm joints look quite stiff."
"Waaah, don't come any closer."
Yukino was hiding inside the toilet door, trembling with fear, her head in her hands.
Just then, the female ghost suddenly shouted in a sinister, low voice, as if she had phlegm stuck in her throat:
"I know you're in there, open the door!"
As she spoke, her knocking suddenly intensified, almost banging on the door.
Chang Wei's eyes narrowed, and the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger.
He finally recognized the identity of the female ghost in front of him.
It's Hanako!
Hanako in the toilet is also called Hanako of the third room.
In urban legends, she would bang on toilet doors or drag children into the toilet to drown them.
It is one of the most famous yokai associated with cherry blossoms.

14. Scared Hanako
Meanwhile, inside one of the toilet stalls in the bathroom, Yukino, wearing a white slip dress, was using a chair to prop the wooden door shut.
Her soft body leaned against it, trembling like a leaf.
The usually dignified and elegant woman was now utterly disheveled, her hair disheveled, her body drenched in cold sweat, and she kept muttering to herself:
"Don't come in, don't come in..."
"Thump, thump, thump..."
The knocking on the door mingled with the hum of electricity inside the bedroom, and the lights flickered on and off.
When the lights came back on, Yukino's pupils contracted sharply, for she saw the door pried open a crack, several pale fingers forcefully inserted, and the voice of the madwoman outside the door pierced through the door:
"Open the door! I know you're in there! Why won't you look at me? Please save me!"
The cry for help was laced with a strange laugh, sending chills down one's spine.
The lights went out again, and the knocking sounded again in the darkness, until the lights came back on.
Yukino stared in disbelief. The door was wide open, and a pale-faced woman was staring directly at her, a wicked smile playing on her lips.
"I can see you, big sister, let's stick together!"
Yukino's heart nearly stopped beating; the grotesque face before her filled her with utter despair.
However, at this critical moment, the bathroom door opened.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, as if someone had rushed in.
While Yukino was still in a daze, she saw a large black rat's shadow flash into the bathroom next to the door and quickly close the door.
Hanako, who was outside the door, had obviously noticed the change in the situation. Someone had actually broken into another toilet and closed the door right under her nose.
Hanako's dull eyes twitched, and she heard the rushing sound of water from the toilet next door being flushed.
Someone is openly triggering her rules of killing!
This is undoubtedly a huge provocation for a ghost who lives in the toilet.
Very well, someone is challenging my authority?
Hanako immediately gave a sinister smile, abandoned Yukino, and stiffly turned her head towards the bathroom, where Changwei was hiding.
The pale arm was raised high.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Hanako's chilling question echoed outside the bathroom. She politely asked, "Is anyone inside? Open the door!"
The silence in the bathroom lasted for two seconds, then a deep, powerful male voice responded:
"Hey girl, did you need something?"
Before Hanako could respond, Chang Wei cleverly added
