There's a saying that when human beings experience the extreme of terror, they are unable to let out a scream. Being able to scream means that the pressure can be released; it allows for a shift of focus that can alleviate the terror to some extent.

Therefore, many horror thriller films have scenes where the protagonist hides and suppresses their own voice. In such situations, when the pressure cannot be released, the psychological terror deepens.

Qin Tiantian was just like that.

Seeing Lu Ban in the mirror showing her a creepy smile, her whole body suddenly froze; she couldn't even tremble, only feeling goosebumps rising from her lower back up her spine, like a fishbone stuck in her throat, unable to make any sound.

Qin Tiantian had met Lu Ban in person, and although they weren't very familiar, she was certain that Lu Ban himself would never show such a smile.

Or rather, no living person would smile like that.
