In the following day, Jing Cheng began to prepare to solve the problem of the haunted building.
In fact, when he entered the haunted house last night, he discovered the strange aura there. He originally thought it was because it was a place where yin gathered. When he listened to the ghosts talking about their troubles, he was still confused. After solving Yu Xiaoman's problem, he gradually came to a guess - it was related to the building material of the haunted house.
During breaks, most of the people who stayed in the classroom were girls, who gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
Jing Cheng asked a few people at random, and most of them said they didn't know or didn't understand.
However, one female classmate saw that Jing Cheng seemed very anxious, so she enthusiastically pointed him in the right direction: "You can go ask her, she should know better than us."
The female classmate pointed in the direction of the classroom window, where two girls were leaning against the window and chatting.
Jing Cheng thanked the female classmate with a smile and walked towards the direction she pointed. He could faintly hear a few girls behind him giggling and saying in what they thought was a low voice that he was polite and gentlemanly.
"...It turns out that you can't buy it online. I have to go to the counter next time. There are too many fake things online!" The girl was complaining to her bestie about the fake goods she bought online.
My best friend said: "I go to my personal assistant for anything I need. She knows me better than I know myself."
Girl: "But I don't like someone following me every day, and I'm too lazy to go shopping..."
...
...
"Excuse me." Because of the incident with the beauty charm, Jing Cheng had a good relationship with the female classmates in the class, so he naturally joined their conversation. "Do you know where the materials for our school buildings come from?"
The girl was getting annoyed, thinking to herself, "How can you be so tactless even though you know it's a bother?" She turned around and saw that it was Jing Cheng. She immediately put away her impatience and said with a smile, "I'm not sure either. I'll ask someone to help you."
She casually dialed a phone number and while waiting for the call to be connected, she asked curiously, "Why does Jing want to know this?"
My best friend said, "Our school has been established for about 80 years. I remember that we celebrated our school anniversary in my freshman year and the building was renovated. The campus design seems to have come from your cousin, right?"
Girl: “I’m just looking for him.”
Jing Cheng didn't expect the girl to move so quickly, and he didn't want to express it too vaguely: "To be precise, it's the construction material information of Buildings 4-8."
The girl was stunned for a moment and said, "...a haunted building?"
Jing Cheng nodded. He noticed the girl's hesitation and added, "Can this be checked?"
The girl was confused and said, "I remember that the haunted building hasn't been renovated for nearly 20 years. This..."
However, the phone was connected at this time, and the girl had no choice but to say, "Let me ask."
Jing Cheng was close and could clearly hear the gentle voice of a middle-aged man on the phone: "Nannan is calling uncle at this time, is there something urgent?"
"Uncle, I remember that you designed all the buildings in our school. Do you know where the building materials came from?" The girl said carefully, "Yes, it has to be the one from 20 years ago, which was the first time you participated in it."
"Why are you asking that?"
"Oh, why do you care so much? Just tell me whether you know or not."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask. You said twenty years ago... I don't remember much. Let me look for some information first. Wait a moment."
After hearing this, the girl made an "OK" gesture to Jingcheng.
Jing Cheng saw it and felt relieved.
The problem with the haunted building was solved so quickly. He had a hunch that the problem with the haunted building could be completely resolved today.
"Ahem... I just checked." The middle-aged man's voice rang out again on the phone. "Eighteen years ago, the year you were born, I remembered it now. What building materials did you want to ask about?"
The girl held the phone tightly and turned to look at Jing Cheng. Before she could ask, Jing Cheng said silently, "Where did the stone come from?"
The girl was stunned, thinking that classmate Jing had excellent hearing. Because they were in the classroom, she had turned the volume of her cell phone very low, and she had to put her ear close to the phone to hear her cousin's voice clearly. Jing Cheng was three steps away from her, but he could still hear her cousin's voice.
However, this thought was fleeting in her mind, and soon the girl said to the phone: "It's the source of the stone."
The cousin on the other end of the phone choked for a moment before saying, "You really know how to ask questions."
The girl was surprised: "…Why do you say that?"
At the same time, Jing Cheng's right eyelid suddenly twitched, and an ominous premonition quickly came over him.
Sure enough, the next second, the uncle fired a thunder bomb at Jing Cheng, "It came from Taiyin Mountain in the next county."
The girl was even more surprised: "But isn't Taiyin Mountain a scenic spot?" It is illegal to dig stones in a scenic spot.
The uncle said, "It was only planned as a scenic spot ten years ago. A few decades ago, it was just a barren mountain. Most of the nearby provinces and cities, including Shangjing City, mined stones from there."
Jing Cheng: “…………”
No wonder the Jing family of the Tianshi Dao finally chose to change their careers, since their old nest was taken down.
But the barren mountain was just a decoy. The Jing family had lived in seclusion there for generations. How could his useless members just watch Taiyin Mountain being dug up?
Don’t they know what’s happening at the foot of Taiyin Mountain?
How ridiculous!
My uncle's tone suddenly became a little heavy. "That year I had just returned from studying abroad. The principal of Nanming Middle School at that time was an elder of a friend of mine. I was fortunate to participate in the campus design of Nanming Middle School. I personally contacted the source of the stone materials... I didn't expect so many casualties to occur."
The girl was curious: "Did an accident happen during the groundbreaking?"
The uncle said, "Well, the prediction was wrong. The explosion triggered a landslide. The originally clear sky suddenly changed, and a thunderstorm suddenly fell. The rain lasted for three days and three nights. Everyone was caught off guard. Many people were trapped in the mountains and could not get out. There were many casualties. This incident was even reported in the news at the time... Later, Taiyin Mountain was designated as a scenic spot for this reason."
The girl gasped when she heard that, and her best friend, curious as she was, quickly asked her in a low voice what was going on.
Jing Cheng's heart sank after hearing this. He was afraid that the location of the explosion was the location of the Demon-Suppressing Monument, and the thunderstorm that lasted for three days was a sign.
When demons appear, God is angry.
Could it be... that this is the reason why he came a hundred years later?
The uncle continued, "The project was delayed for a while. The construction team didn't start until the weather cleared up. Fortunately, there were no problems when transporting the stones... Nannan, do you have any questions?"
The girl held the phone and looked at Jing Cheng hesitantly.
Jing Cheng shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to ask anymore, as he already knew everything she needed to know.
The building stones of the haunted building must have been mixed with the rubble of the demon-suppressing stele, which is why it attracts and binds ghosts.
The Demon-Suppressing Stele was erected by the first generation of Heavenly Master of the Jing family, and the time is no longer traceable, but the demon-suppressing runes on the stele have been accumulated from generation to generation. Even if it was blown up by modern high-tech weapons, the effectiveness of the runes was not completely destroyed.
Now that we know the reason, everything will be easy.
The girl exchanged a few words with her cousin and then hung up the phone.
The best friend looked at Jing Cheng and finally couldn't help but speak: "Why did Jing ask this question? Can you solve the problem of the haunted building?"
The girl also looked over. She was also curious. You know, the horror legend of the haunted building in their school was well known even to people from other schools. Of course, this was not a good reputation.
As a student of Nanming Middle School, she should be proud of being a student of an aristocratic middle school. However, when others heard that she was in Nanming Middle School, their first reaction was "The school where someone died?" or "How dare you stay there? You are so awesome!"
It's as if all the students in their school are zombies.
Jing was able to expose the beauty charm scam in the Worry-Relieving Shop, so he must be a very capable person.
The two girls looked at Jing Cheng at the same time, their expressions expectant.
Jing Cheng smiled slightly, of course he could solve it.
…
The next morning, the whole school was in an uproar.
The construction team drove an excavator to Nanming Middle School and, in front of the shocked eyes of teachers and students, razed the building shrouded in horror legends to the ground.
The rumbling sound of mechanical operation continued, and amid the flying dust, the workers moved in an orderly manner, and none of the workers had any problems.
The principal of Nanming Middle School's face was smiling like a blooming flower.
After ten years, I can finally remove this ugly scar.
Qin Yan watched this scene from afar, and asked thoughtfully: "How did you do it?"
Jing Cheng glanced at him and said, "I'll tell you when you finish reading the booklet I gave you before." He found that Qin Yan had only flipped through a few pages of the booklet he gave him and didn't read it. It's not a good habit to work hard for three days and rest for two days.
Qin Yan: “…”
Don't keep it so suspenseful!

The author has something to say:
Flags really can't be set casually. I suddenly got stuck, so I'll add to this chapter first. The short one is really ugly, make it longer_(:з」∠)
