Chapter 39
Invisibility meant that the Spirit Binder could not detect the location of this Fierce Ghost by any means-the enemy was in the dark, while he was exposed.
At this moment, what he needed to do was: “Where is he?”
Li Yi gripped the Ink Line in his hand, his brows tightly furrowed.
[“So tense, I still-” [“What’s going on? Why hasn’t that ghost thing outside the door entered the classroom yet?”]
[“How can you be sure that Fierce Ghost hasn’t come in?”]
[“Yeah, how can you be sure I haven’t come in?”]
[“Upstairs, screw you, that scared me so much I jolted and slapped my wife sleeping next to me.”]
[“Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. Let’s keep watching the Streamer operate. After all, Brother Li is a professional at exorcising ghosts.”]
The comments on the barrage were dense, but not a single one was useful. The System in his mind had yet to give any hints.
Li Yi could only rely on his own judgment.
He gambled that the Fierce Ghost outside the door had not yet entered the classroom.
He suddenly opened the cabinet door and wound the Ink Line around every corner of the classroom. Fortunately, the System was not stingy in this regard.
The ball of line provided was more than enough to cover the entire classroom, and Li Yi focused on wrapping a loop around the seats.
He then tied another strand at the doorway before returning to hide inside the wardrobe again.
Now, as long as that Fierce Ghost dared to enter the classroom, it would definitely be exposed by the Ink Line.
All that was left was to wait for the Fierce Ghost to walk right into the trap.
Li Yi’s gaze gradually sharpened.
Next door, hearing the commotion from Li Yi’s side, Wu Qian was a bit puzzled.
But she didn’t dare make a sound, afraid of disrupting Li Yi’s plan.
She peered through the gap above the bookshelf, looking out into the classroom.
Finally, the main door slowly opened.
The Fierce Ghost walked in.
A faint sizzling sound came from the Ink Line.
Then, an unexpected scene unfolded.
All twenty seats in the classroom manifested shadowy figures-twenty Fierce Ghosts in total.
Wu Qian froze in place, clutching her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound for fear of alerting the ghosts outside.
Twenty Fierce Ghosts-a major incident. An event of this magnitude was absolutely not something that could be resolved by one person alone.
She hurriedly took out her phone to contact Captain Zhou Sheng.
“Why is there no signal?”
When she pulled out her phone, a crimson X over the signal bars made Wu Qian’s heart sink instantly.
Unable to contact the outside world, they were truly at a dead end now.
Wu Qian felt a sense of despair. In the history of Shen City, no Spirit Binder had ever survived a supernatural event involving more than twenty Fierce Ghosts. Only top-tier Spirit Binders like Master Chen from Mount Longhu had even a sliver of hope in such cases.
Wu Qian did not know that the man crouching in the bookshelf next to her had once fought against a hundred foes alone, and had even ended the life of Mount Longhu’s most outstanding disciple with a single strike.
Li Yi’s Live Streaming Room had a protective function: once viewers exited, any information about Li Yi would instantly be wiped from their minds, leaving only a vague impression.
Naturally, his killing of Wu Hao was thus concealed.
“Are these all the children who lost their lives in the school bus incident two years ago?”
Li Yi licked his lips. The real culprit had yet to appear.
Although these children had become Fierce Ghosts, their resentment was like a raging tide, even stronger than any Fierce Ghost Li Yi had encountered before.
But they were not his target.
These children were victims as well, harmed by an Evil Ghost in life and transformed into Fierce Ghosts in death.
Yet even after death, they remained imprisoned in Dajiang Kindergarten by that Evil Ghost, forced to satisfy its twisted desires.
But why did the Evil Ghost keep these children trapped in Dajiang Kindergarten?
Could it be another person like Wu Hao? Li Yi wondered.
The Fierce Ghosts these children had become were not low-level; they had long since reached the stage of being able to move freely. Yet in two years, there had never been any news of a murder outbreak at Dajiang Kindergarten.
It seemed some mysterious force was controlling them, preventing them from leaving the school.
Who, exactly, was the Evil Ghost referred to in the System’s mission?
Li Yi felt troubled. The System’s previous missions always included a key figure-this time, it was Ming, the first to become a Fierce Ghost.
But Ming was a victim too, wasn’t he?
It was known that something in Dajiang Kindergarten had caused the teachers to conceal the true cause of Ming’s death, which led to Ming’s transformation into a Fierce Ghost and his return.
Afterwards, the entire class of students perished.
It seemed that to uncover the truth, Li Yi now had to learn the real circumstances of Ming’s death. Only then could he deduce the identity of the Evil Ghost.
“These ghosts… it looks like they’re waiting for someone to arrive.”
Inside the classroom, twenty ghosts sat neatly in their seats, upright and proper, a scene full of discord.
Kindergarten children are at their most lively age; even alive, they could hardly sit so quietly. Had they become obedient after death?
Li Yi noticed that all their gazes were focused on the podium at the front of the classroom.
That spot was vacant.
The ghost acting as the teacher had not yet appeared.
Just as Li Yi thought he might be focusing on the wrong thing, a figure slowly walked up to the podium.
But it was not the ghost of a teacher. It was another child, about seven or eight years old.
“Classmates, class is starting.”
That voice…
Li Yi’s pupils suddenly dilated. The voice coming from the child at the podium was actually that of an adult.
Deep and magnetic, it was a tone no child should possess.
Looking at his every move-his feet turned out, chest pushed out, hands clasped behind his back-he was the very image of an adult.
The contrast sent chills down one’s spine.
On the other side of the bookshelf, Wu Qian, who also witnessed this scene, felt her hair stand on end from shock.
She sensed that the Fierce Ghost at the podium possessed a consciousness completely at odds with its appearance.
It was as if an adult had donned the skin of a child.
She clamped her hand over her mouth, afraid to make a sound.
The danger level of the supernatural events in Dajiang Kindergarten might be far beyond her imagination.
“Stand up…”
“Good morning, teacher.”
What does a Fierce Ghost’s class look like?
No one had ever dared to imagine it, but in Li Yi’s Live Streaming Room, the audience was witnessing it firsthand.
The comment section erupted in heated discussion.”
