The scream made Jiang Li instinctively pick at her ears.
This is incredibly loud! It's so incredibly noisy!
Jiang Li watched Lu Jiming being swallowed by the black mist without changing her expression, but the coldness in her eyes deepened.
"Jiang Li, you...you run...run!!!" When Lu Jiming saw Jiang Li standing there, he thought she was scared out of her wits. In his fright, he still reminded Jiang Li to run for her life.
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Jiming and gave a completely irrelevant reply, "Don't be afraid, just bear with it a little longer."
If she acts too soon, she will only alert the enemy.
She could only catch it once it was fully revealed.
Jiang Li's voice was flat, yet it gave Lu Jiming an inexplicable sense of security.
Pah!
What a load of bullshit about security!
Because the next second, Lu Jiming couldn't breathe; the feeling of suffocation was so obvious that Lu Jiming subconsciously felt...
I'm about to die.
Just when he was about to give up the struggle and resign himself to death.
A golden light suddenly rushed towards him, dispelling the black mist that had been binding him and allowing him to breathe fresh air again, bringing him back to life!
When he looked up at Jiang Li, he saw that Jiang Li was holding a somewhat transparent shadow in her hand. The shadow was struggling frantically, but it couldn't break free no matter what it did.
"ah--"
Lu Jiming couldn't help but scream again.
Jiang Li glared at him, "What are you yelling for? If you keep yelling, I'll let the ghost eat you! It's so noisy!"
Lu Jiming: "..."
Forgive his ignorance, he really has never seen a ghost.
Lu Jiming felt his worldview collapse in an instant.
Don't disturb him. He needs some peace and quiet. He needs to rebuild his shattered worldview.
Jiang Li didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Jiming. She dispelled the malevolent energy from the female ghost, allowing her to regain her senses.
The female ghost stared blankly at Jiang Li, "Where is this? How did I get here?"
"Do you remember what you were doing before?" Jiang Li asked casually, looking at the female ghost.
The female ghost tried hard to recall, her expression instantly turning terrified. "I...I...I was practicing dancing, and then...and then someone sneaked in, he...he..."
The female ghost suddenly clutched her head, her expression one of extreme pain.
After a long while, she murmured, "I remember, I'm dead... I was murdered... Hahaha... I'm dead..."
The female ghost cried and laughed, then her eyes grew redder and redder until they became blood red.
Just as she lost her mind and went berserk, Jiang Li casually tossed out a talisman, which restored the corrupted female ghost to her original form.
"Why did you stop me?" the female ghost accused Jiang Li, her resentment growing stronger in her eyes. "Are you in cahoots with him?!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Li threw another mute talisman at him. "I don't know who you are, and I don't know you, but if you need my help, behave yourself. Just answer my questions and don't give me free rein, okay?"
The female ghost didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Li with a resentful expression.
"What? You disagree?"
The female ghost's expression grew even more resentful.
Jiang Li then slapped her forehead and realized, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to use a mute spell on you just now."
The female ghost: "..."
You finally realized it, and burst into tears.
"Nod if you agree with my proposal."
The female ghost nodded frantically.
With a wave of Jiang Li's hand, the female ghost was immediately able to speak.
It turns out that the female ghost was the school's dance teacher, who came to the school right after graduating last year.
On her first day as a dance teacher, she caught the attention of the head of the academic affairs office, who wanted to sexually harass her, but she refused.
However, she was constantly harassed, which caused her to suffer from severe mental distress.
Later, while she was choreographing, the director of the academic affairs office sneaked in and raped her.
She resisted fiercely, and then she was killed.
She didn't know what happened after that.
"A teacher has gone missing from the school. Hasn't the school taken any measures?" Jiang Li turned to ask Lu Jiming, "Are you aware of this?"
“I actually know about this.” Lu Jiming’s expression was complicated. “At the time, the director of the academic affairs office said that the dance teacher resigned because of her poor mental state and excessive pressure. He also reprimanded the other teachers at the meeting because of this, telling them not to follow her example.”
Jiang Li: "..."
The female ghost: "..."
No wonder it didn't cause much of a stir.
"Alright, let's call the police," Jiang Li said, glancing at Lu Jiming.
"I...I'll do it?"
"If it's not you, then is it me?"
"Okay...okay..." Lu Jiming dialed the police, and then called his uncle.
He still needed to report this situation to his uncle, and also give him a chance to meet his future wife.
However, for the sake of his uncle's heart, he did not reveal the matter of the female ghost, but said that a murder case had been discovered at the school and asked his uncle, the major shareholder, to come and handle it.
While waiting for the police to arrive, Lu Jiming asked Jiang Li curiously, "Why are you looking for this dance studio? Or do you know she's here?"
“I have a colleague who did fortune telling for an old lady. He found out that her daughter had died, but her soul was trapped and unable to reincarnate.” Jiang Li’s expression was also somewhat complicated. “He asked about the old lady’s daughter and found out that she was a dance teacher at this school. He asked me to help investigate. The black hair clip you had today was her keepsake.”
The belongings still carry the scent of their owner, and she can use that scent to find the female ghost.
As a result, Lu Jiming accidentally touched the hair clip and became tainted by its aura, which is why the female ghost reacted so strongly to him when she arrived.
Forty minutes later...
Lu Shiyan led the police to Jiang Li and Lu Jiming.
When Lu Shiyan saw Jiang Li, his eyes lit up, but he quickly concealed the expression in his eyes and acted as aloof and indifferent as usual.
He took two steps up to Lu Jiming and scolded him with displeasure, "What's wrong with you? Why did you bring a new classmate to such a remote place? Aren't you afraid something might happen?"
Lu Jiming opened his mouth, "I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'?" Lu Shiyan's expression grew increasingly grim. "You said there was a murder here. If the killer comes back and finds you, what are you two kids going to do? Just obediently wait to die?"
"Stop talking about him," Jiang Li interrupted Lu Shiyan. "I asked him to bring me here. Don't worry, even if we encounter a vicious and violent killer, I will protect your nephew and make sure he doesn't get hurt!"
"You think I'm just worried about him?" Lu Shiyan almost couldn't control the lingering fear in his heart. "Lu Jiming is tough and can withstand a beating, but a weak little girl like you is in even more danger here! How old are you? How can you have no sense of safety at all!"
Lu Jiming: "..."
The uncle wasn't worried about him at all; he was clearly worried about his future wife!
Also, your future wife is not weak at all.
Just imagine her smashing your car and emerging completely unscathed—that's a true master!
"Who reported the incident?" Only after Lu Shiyan finished reprimanding him did the police officer behind him speak up.
Lu Jiming raised his hand. "It's me."
"Where is the victim?" The police officer looked around but saw nothing and asked with a frown.
Lu Jiming immediately looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li didn't answer. She looked around and found a mop in the corner.
With a forceful snap, the mop handle broke off. After discarding the extra parts, Jiang Li now held a wooden stick in her hand.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Jiang Li swung the wooden stick and smashed it down hard in one direction...
