[Dear, rest assured, you get what you pay for. This amethyst necklace is indeed a very powerful defensive magic weapon that can resist most attacks, whether from humans or ghosts.] The system explained that it would never let the ghost messenger suffer.
[That’s good.] The ghost let go of his worries.
Now that Xiang Yan's safety is guaranteed, the ghost catcher can go and save people with peace of mind.
Although the three people trapped in the illusion did not know the ghost catcher, he could not just leave them in danger, especially since the ghost catcher had the ability to save them.
After all, Xiang Yan grew up in a harmonious society, and he encountered minor frictions, but he had never encountered major dangers. Growing up in this environment, it was impossible for Xiang Yan not to lend a helping hand to others in danger when his own safety was guaranteed and he still had the strength to spare.
Of course, the main reason is that the system has given the information of the three people to the ghost catcher, and the ghost catcher also knows that they are not bad people, and are even good people who specialize in catching ghosts, so he decided to rescue them.
If the ghost knew that those three people were bad guys, he would not have saved them. It was a relief to the people if those bad guys who had done so many evil things were eaten by evil ghosts.
In short, although the ghost messenger has a kind heart, he will not be kind to everyone easily and save everyone.
Back to the present, the ghost followed the map given by the system and came to Zhou Nianyan's territory.
Bang——
Since he already knew Zhou Nianyan's identity, the ghost catcher didn't bother to put on any show. He simply swung the chain on the door and knocked the locked door open.
As soon as he entered the door, the ghost catcher released his coercive skill. Zhou Nianyan, who was originally planning to struggle, was instantly pinned to the spot by the coercion of the high-ranking ghost catcher.
The ghost took out the sealed camera and with a click, Zhou Nianyan's hideous face turned into a photo, floating in the ghost's hand.
After putting Zhou Nianyan away, the ghost felt a fluctuation around him, and then Gao Yi and the other two appeared on the floor of the room, rubbing their foreheads.
“Hmm…”
Gao Yi and the other two supported each other and stood up.
Seeing the ghost standing not far away, and thinking about what had just happened, Gao Yi and the others also understood what had just happened to them.
"Thank you for saving me, Mr. Ghost." Gao Yi looked at the Ghost and thanked him, then pointed to the man and woman next to her and introduced herself: "My name is Gao Yi, this is Lin Zhige, and this is He Yuan. We are all members of Group A in Province S, specializing in ghost incidents in Province S. Thank you very much for saving my life, Mr. Ghost."
"Yeah." The ghost nodded calmly, his expression unchanged, "Let's go."
Gao Yi didn't care about the ghost catcher's cold attitude. Rather, she thought that this kind of ghost catcher was more in line with her inner imagination of the ghost catcher.
The ghost walked in front, while Gao Yi, Lin Zhige and He Yuan followed behind.
After walking along the stairs for a while, the ghost brought Gao Yi and others back to the third floor to Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi.
"Sir Ghost Messenger, they...eh?!"
Seeing the ghost catcher coming back, Yuan Si immediately stood up and pointed at the place where Gao Yi and others were lying, wanting to say something, but then he saw Gao Yi and the other two following the ghost catcher.
"You guys..." Yuan Si glanced at the now empty ground, then turned to look at Gao Yi and the other two who were following the ghost messenger, "What's going on?"
Before, Yuan Si and Xiang Yin listened to the ghost's words and stayed in the golden circle. However, after a while, Gao Yi and others who were lying on the ground disappeared. This made Yuan Si and others very confused, and they couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.
Now the ghost messenger is back, followed by Gao Yi and the other two... Huh?
Yuan Si suddenly realized that Zhou Nianyan, who had fainted with Gao Yi and the others, was gone. "Sir Ghost Officer, Zhou Nianyan..."
Among these people, the first person Yuan Si met was Zhou Nianyan. When he saw that she was missing, Yuan Si couldn't help but feel worried.
Seeing Yuan Si's worried face, the ghost officer revealed Zhou Nianyan's identity without any hesitation, "There is no such person as Zhou Nianyan. She is a ghost in disguise."
Rather than letting Yuan Si worry about his so-called companion, it would be best to tell him the truth directly.
"What? Zhou Nianyan is a ghost?" Yuan Si looked at the ghost in shock, as if this was something extremely unbelievable.
Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi on the other side were also very surprised.
After all, they had been with Zhou Nianyan for a long time before. In their impression, Zhou Nianyan was a girl who was a little shy but very enthusiastic and kind.
Suddenly telling them that Zhou Nianyan was a ghost made Yuan Si and the others feel very difficult to accept.
Seeing Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi's incredulous look, the ghost couldn't help but frown. I didn't expect Zhou Nianyan to be so powerful. After just a short time together, they trusted her so much.
However, it’s not just because Zhou Nianyan is powerful. Another reason is that they were not very vigilant when facing Xiang Yinxiang.
"Ghosts are very good at confusing people. Don't trust what they say too much." The ghost warned the people in front of him while thinking in his mind how to raise their vigilance when facing Yin Xiang.
It is not a good thing for your younger brothers and sisters to be too kind and naive, especially now there are many ghosts of all kinds in this world, and you can lose your life if you are not careful.
"Oh, I see."
Seeing the ghost's serious expression, Xiang Yin and the others nodded obediently to show that they understood.
Seeing the few people nodding obediently, the ghost catcher did not say anything else. After all, he was not their brother Xiang Yan now, but a ghost catcher from hell. It was the first time he met them, so it was not appropriate to say much.
The ghost caught a glance at the people around him and was about to say to continue going upstairs when he discovered that Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi were having some difficulty supporting Xiang Yan.
After thinking about it for a while, the ghost knew the reason. Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi were only two fourteen-year-old children after all, and it was indeed a bit strenuous for them to support Xiang Yan, who was about 180cm tall, to walk all the way.
After a brief pause, the ghost walked to Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi and took Xiang Yan over, "Let me help you."
"Why??!"
"Uh... this, this, this..."
Although it was a bit difficult for Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi to walk such a long distance supporting their unconscious brother, they were still filled with surprise and confusion when they saw the ghost catcher skillfully take Xiang Yan over.
On the one hand, they really couldn't help Xiang Yan climb the stairs upstairs, and the ghost catcher taking Xiang Yan over did make them feel a lot more relaxed, but on the other hand, they were conflicted about whether or not to hand their brother over to the ghost catcher.
Although it seems that as a ghost catcher he would not do anything to Xiang Yan, no... Xiang Yin recalled the scene he had seen at home before, and his originally firm heart began to waver. Maybe, probably, perhaps he would not do anything?
On the other side, although Xiang Shi was also quite troubled by the fact that Xiang Yan was supported by the ghost catcher, he then thought, the ghost catcher was so powerful, wouldn't Xiang Yan be safer with him?
Well, I feel relieved!
Xiang Shi was very generous and handed Xiang Yan over to the ghost catcher.
The ghost did not pay attention to the complicated mental journey of Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi. He simply thought that Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi could not help Xiang Yan, and it was normal for him to take Xiang Yan over. He was just helping out.
After taking Xiang Yan over, the ghost carefully supported his own body and walked to the fourth floor.
After walking for a while, the ghost officials went up to the fourth floor one after another.
Wow——wow——
A gust of wind filled with a burnt smell blew towards me.
The ghost pressed Xiang Yan's head against his chest, then took out the ghost-binding chain and threw it forward.
Bang——Pah——
After a crackling sound, the wind blowing in my face stopped.
When the ghost opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the corridor outside the classroom. Except for Xiang Yan, whom he had been holding, everyone else had disappeared.
and……
The ghost looked at the dark sky dotted with stars outside and his expression became solemn.
It was past six in the afternoon when he first entered this small world. Although he did not calculate the time carefully, he would not stay in it for more than two hours.
In other words, no matter what, the sky outside could not be like this.
The sky outside looked like it was around nine or ten o'clock in the evening.
Moreover, the surrounding environment was not right. It seemed to be a clean and beautiful teaching building, not the dilapidated teaching building that had been burned by fire that they had just climbed up.
The ghost held Xiang Yan in one hand and held the ghost-binding chain in the other, looking around vigilantly.
Ding-ling-ling——
As the bell rang, a group of students suddenly appeared in front of the ghost. They carried their backpacks and walked out of the classroom like ordinary students, and then walked together towards the school gate. They ignored the ghost in black uniform and the unconscious Xiang Yan.
“…”
The ghost pursed his lips and stood aside, watching groups of students leave and the lights in the classroom go out one by one.
Until only the last two classrooms of students remained.
Looking at this scene, and recalling what the system had told him before about the fire at Xuzhou High School, the ghost messenger also had some guesses about what would happen next.
After most of the students left, a male teacher in a dark blue suit walked out of the two classrooms. However, he did not leave immediately. In the surprised eyes of the ghost, the male teacher took out a few locks and locked the doors of the remaining two classrooms.
[System, this is the reason why the dead students are full of resentment, right?] The ghost looked at the locked classroom door, and it was obvious what happened next.
When the fire broke out, how desperate the students who were locked in the classroom must have felt. The escape route was right in front of them, but it was blocked by the locked door. One by one, the students died in despair in the raging fire.
The resentment in their hearts is so heavy that it has formed this small world that they can enter but cannot leave, and can never escape.
[Yes, dear, although this fire was classified as an accident, it was actually man-made.] The system said.
The system collects much more information than an average person can obtain after an accident.
After coming here, the system used its own functions to check the cause of this small world.
The result is what the ghost just saw.
Because the male teacher locked the classroom doors, all the students in the two classrooms were burned to death when the fire broke out.
No, it's not just these two classrooms.
The male teacher also locked the door to the first floor.
Therefore, students like Zhou Nianyan, who stayed in the teaching building after school for some reasons, did not escape the disaster.
Many innocent lives were lost in this fire.
"But why did the male teacher lock the classroom and the teaching building? And why did the fire start?" the ghost asked in confusion.
Even if we know what happened, what is the reason? It is impossible for the teacher to harm his students for no reason, right?
[This is related to an incident that happened earlier.] The system's voice was full of emotion.
[？] The ghost was about to continue asking questions when he suddenly saw a beam of fire coming from not far away.
Looking at the approaching fire, the ghost frowned, not knowing whether to dodge.
Although the students before could not see them or touch them, the ghost felt something was wrong with the flames flowing over, and he seemed to feel the heat of the flames.
"Huh?" The ghost raised his eyes and suddenly found that Xiang Yin, Xiang Shi, Yuan Si and Gao Yi were actually in one of the classrooms.
Looking at the approaching flames, the ghost carried Xiang Yan to the classroom door, picked up the ghost-binding chain and was about to hit the classroom door.
Suddenly, countless hands stretched out from the classroom door, struggling to grab the ghost, causing the ghost to take a step back.
"..." Frowning as he looked at the struggling and twisted hands on the door, the ghost catcher tightened his grip on the ghost-binding chain, feeling a little reluctant to do it.
He was not worried about the ghost hand on the door, but he was worried about his ghost-binding chain.
You know, this ghost-binding chain is a rare and good magic weapon. Although the ghost catcher usually swings it around, he still likes it very much. The ghost catcher can't bear to use it to swing on such a ghost thing.
[System, is there anything cheap that can open this door?] If I need something, I will ask the system. This is a habit that the ghost messenger has developed since the system's mall function was opened.
Although it consumes a bit of energy, it is really convenient.
[Dear, I recommend you to use this blasting talisman. It is powerful enough to break this door. It is disposable. The more you buy, the more discounts you will get.] The system enthusiastically recommended things to the ghost messenger.
"..."Every time he bought something, the ghost felt that the system and the mall were in cahoots and were trying to persuade him to spend energy points to buy things.
[Dear, you misunderstood me. I am on your side.] The system explained aggrievedly, [This is all a problem with the system's voice tone. Taobao's accent is like this.]
[…Give me two blasting talismans.] The ghost tried not to pay attention to the strange tone of the system and shifted his attention to the door in front of him that was covered with hands.
