Chapter 79 Beiyang County Jinrong School 23
"Just then, the cat's fur started to stand on end."
You quickly hugged the cat and held it in your arms to comfort it.
The paper crane desperately wanted to get out, but was blocked by the door lock.
"The rules left by your grandmother make you afraid to open the door."
"But you still wanted to try, so you put on the mask and became your grandmother's appearance."
You take a deep breath, pick up the cat, walk to the entryway, and open the door.
The wind grew stronger, and the sky slowly darkened.
"The paper crane flew towards the vegetable garden."
"Close the door and follow closely behind."
"But the cat in your arms became even more restless. The closer you got to the vegetable garden, the more the cat started howling."
"Looks like there's something here that the cat's afraid of!" you think, and hug the cat even tighter.
"The paper crane stopped in one spot where the soil looked like it had been turned over."
"Go forward and check. Could Ning Zhaodi be underground? Is there a cellar here?"
"You remember rule number ten of the impurity rule: the house has only one floor, there are no stairs, and no basement."
"Is this rule fake?"
"You immediately went back to the windowsill, grabbed a shovel, and started digging."
...
And at the Chen family home shortly after Wen Qi returned home.
She went home through the eerie door in the bathroom, and Principal Chen returned in less than ten minutes.
As soon as the real Principal Chen opened the door and entered the living room, he saw the three nannies looking surprised.
The nanny clearly saw Principal Chen go into the bathroom and never come out again; quite a while had passed.
She wanted to knock on the door, but remembering Principal Chen's usual temper, she didn't dare to go.
She told Da Chenjing about it, but Da Chenjing's expression was strange, and he didn't seem to care much about it.
The nanny remembered what she had overheard outside the study and finally understood why Da Chen didn't care.
A short while later, Xiao Chenjing's mother, who was also the principal's wife, returned.
The principal's wife knocked on the bathroom door and called Chen Changle's name, but no one answered.
But the nanny was certain that Principal Chen had been in the bathroom the whole time and hadn't come out.
When the real Principal Chen returned, he saw several people looking at each other in bewilderment.
...
"What's wrong? Are you surprised that I'm back at this time?" Principal Chen asked as he changed his shoes and put down his bag.
The nanny then realized that Principal Chen, who had returned earlier, had not taken his bag and had not changed his shoes upon entering the house.
At the time, she thought that Principal Chen might have come back because of an emergency, so she forgot.
But now that I think about it carefully, Principal Chen was really different from usual.
If it were Principal Chen on a normal day, upon discovering that she had overheard a secret she shouldn't have known, he would have expelled her immediately.
The nanny was horrified. Could it be that the one who came back earlier was a fake?!
The nanny felt both relieved and bewildered.
As for Da Chenjing, he felt something was off the moment Wen Qi knocked on the door and entered the study.
In the subsequent questioning and probing, he felt that Chen Changle at that time could actually utter the word "guilt" from his mouth.
What puzzled him even more was that it was impossible for Chen Changle not to remember the last few digits of his ID number and the difference between them and those of his own son.
The fake principal was trying to determine the true relationship between himself, Xiao Chenjing, and the principal.
He was trying to get information out of people and might be the principal's enemy.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Neither the nanny nor Da Chen intended to say anything about anything in the study.
This Principal Chen who just returned is not the same one as before; this old man is incredibly cunning.
However, when Principal Chen asked, the nanny told a lie.
"Sir, it's like this. Before you came back, someone who looks exactly like you came back. He went into the bathroom and disappeared," the nanny said respectfully.
"Is that you?"
Upon hearing this, Principal Chen looked at Chen Jing and asked, "Where's your brother? Why isn't he here?"
Da Chenjing lowered his head and pretended to be afraid of Principal Chen, saying in a timid voice, "He... wasn't he called to the hospital by you to visit Fan Ye?"
"He went to the hospital? I called him? What if this unfilial son gets photographed? We finally managed to tell everyone he was in a vegetative state, and now he's suddenly recovered?" The principal was furious and smashed a row of cups on the coffee table to the ground.
"Xiao Jing, call your brother right away," Principal Chen said to Chen Jing. "Also, tell him to get some masks from the hospital."
"yes."
Da Chen returned to his room, took out his phone, and immediately sent a message to a contact person at a local news outlet before messaging his so-called brother, instead of making a phone call.
Several minutes later, he called Xiao Chenjing, who answered the phone.
He told Principal Chen that he wanted to come back, and then hung up.
Da Chenjing didn't want to remind him to wear a mask at first, but he did in the end.
Wen Qi had considered that they might discover that the person she was impersonating was a fake principal, but no one knew the fake principal's true identity.
Regardless, obtaining evidence is the most important thing, so that Xiao Chenjing can be brought to justice as soon as possible.
...
"Using your supernatural powers, coupled with your exceptional physical strength, you quickly removed the covering soil."
"The soil was shoveled away, revealing a blood-red array pattern of seven stars aligned."
"It's obvious there's a seal here."
"Did they seal Ning Zhaodi away?"
"Why use an array to seal it?"
"You remembered the first time you met Qi Jia, he was also sealed by an array."
"Could it be that my sister has become a monster, possessed by one?"
"Or was Grandma in this space possessed by a strange entity, and then sealed my sister inside?"
"Everything about it is more mysterious than just curiosity."
"Would breaking this formation reveal the truth behind my sister's disappearance?"
"Think about it while you try to break the formation."
"Soon, a flash of red light appeared and then dimmed."
"To prevent the cat from running away and getting lost, you plan to bring the cat down with you."
"It's very dark down in the cellar, so you take out your old-fashioned phone and turn on the flashlight."
"Go down the ladder, and eerie sounds will fill your ears."
"And when you went down to the cellar, a shadow as black as ink appeared on the wall of the main house above."
"The courtyard gate was also knocked on loudly!"
"The thumping sound coming from above startled you so much that your palms suddenly broke out in a cold sweat."
"Why is someone knocking on the gate at this hour?"
You feel a pang of heartache, a bad premonition.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," you reassured yourself, patting your chest gently.
