"I'm fine."

“A ghost hunter shouldn’t have these kinds of feelings,” Jiang Xiaochen said subconsciously. He knew that there were too many variables in their profession, and one wrong move could get him into serious trouble.

Zhong Yan smiled wryly, "Isn't that right?"

He understood the truth, but she herself couldn't.

He turned and left.

In that instant, the dolls that were supposed to be dead suddenly sprang up from the ground, gathered together, and charged at her.

The speed was so fast that Jiang Xiaochen couldn't react.

Just as the little fox was about to warn her, she noticed that the five-colored stone suddenly trembled, as if some force had shaken her away. She had no choice but to protect Zhong Yan.

You have to understand, they are now one entity. If anything happens to her, both of them will suffer.

The surroundings were a vast expanse of white. The little fox enveloped Zhong Yan completely, using the unique spiritual power of their fox clan to protect her.

Jiang Xiaochen rushed forward anxiously, only to find that he couldn't grasp anything. A sense of powerlessness rose from the depths of his heart, and he suddenly didn't know how to grab that girl.

She was like the wind, invisible and intangible; no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch her in the slightest.

Zhong Yan felt her body become much warmer, and the burning sensation suddenly disappeared. The painful screams in her ears also vanished, and her mind became clear.

Finally, they dispersed.

She slowly collapsed.

Jiang Xiaochen immediately stepped forward, hugged her, and checked her breathing. Fortunately, she was alright. When she woke up again, she had been moved from the playground to her dormitory.

Zhong Yan subconsciously opened her eyes, but her mind was a blur about everything that had happened before. It was as if she didn't remember anything, yet everything seemed exceptionally clear at the same time.

"You're awake."

"..."

"Don't risk your life next time."

"..."

"Zhong Yan, I'm talking to you, can't you show me some respect?" A flash of anger crossed Jiang Xiaochen's face. Did she even know what had happened, or how dangerous it had been?

Zhong Yan fell silent, then retorted without hesitation: "Didn't you want me to help investigate the case? Find out exactly how those ghostly things got here."

Jiang Xiaochen fell silent again. This was a difficult question to answer! Although it was theoretically true, he realized that he didn't want Zhong Yan to take any risks when he actually witnessed it.

I don't want any possibility at all.

Seeing his pale face, Zhong Yan coughed lightly, "Well, I'm fine, aren't I? Don't be too nervous. Even if something is wrong, it's probably just some ghostly activity..."

Jiang Xiaochen gritted her teeth. How dare she argue? She had no idea how worried he was when he saw her unconscious.

"I don't care, you don't need to worry about this."

"Are you going to back out and tear up the agreement?" Zhong Yan narrowed her eyes. She had finally managed to regain her sense of responsibility, but he immediately poured cold water on her.

Believe it or not, she'll kick them out right now.
