Chapter 42
“Such an important clue-they definitely wouldn’t leave it somewhere so obvious.
So there must be a hidden compartment in this office.”
Wu Qian, worthy of being a seasoned detective, made her judgment as soon as she entered the room and started searching the nearby bookshelf, trying to find a secret room.
She didn’t even glance at the desk in the center of the Principal’s Office.
She was exceptionally thorough, carefully checking everything from the vases on the shelves to the arrangement numbers of every book.
Li Yi, meanwhile, walked straight up and opened the central desk drawer.
Seeing Li Yi’s move, the viewers in the Live Streaming Room immediately started teasing him.
[“Streamer, you’re way too honest! Who would put the clue somewhere so obvious?”]
[“Wu Qian’s experience really shows-no wonder she’s the squad’s belle. Normally, criminal suspects would hide important clues in a secret room to cover up their tracks.”]
[“You can basically ignore places as obvious as the desk. If there’s actually a clue in there, I’ll eat the whole desk.”]
[“I’d sooner believe the clue is in the trash can than in the desk drawer.”]
The next moment, Li Yi pulled a file out of the drawer.
Everyone was stunned.
What the heck? Why isn’t this guy playing by the rules?
Such an important clue, just sitting openly in the desk drawer-are you trying to announce to everyone you did something wrong?
Li Yi opened the file. The child’s birth date turned out to be in a Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour.
Such a birth chart is almost a favorite among Evil Cultivators.
Once transformed into a Fierce Ghost, the growth rate would be extremely fast.
Seeing Ming’s birth chart, Li Yi immediately had a suspicion-who would spend so much money to buy an ordinary child?
But if that person was an Evil Cultivator, then everything made sense.
“There really is a secret room here!”
Wu Qian’s delighted voice came from beside him. With a click, after she moved a book on the shelf, both sides of the bookshelf swung open.
Then a terrifying scene occurred-a human head, like a ball, rolled toward them the moment the door opened.
It stopped just ten centimeters from their feet.
Li Yi bent down to look. The head belonged to none other than Sun Aiguo, the kindergarten teacher from the ID they had found earlier.
The scene froze for a moment.
Even Wu Qian was a bit startled.
As for the viewers in the Live Streaming Room, there was no need to mention it-some with weaker nerves were so scared they dropped their phones on the spot.
Where would they have ever seen a sight like this before? A freshly severed human head, still streaked with blood, suddenly appearing right in front of them.
[“Damn, when that thing first rolled out, I couldn’t even see what it was. I even put on my glasses to take a better look, and nearly peed myself in fright.”]
[“I was so scared, I threw my phone away.”]
[“Dude, is your phone the legendary 2060 Huaren-brand? Silly girl!”]
[“See? I told you this guy was going to become a Ghost.”]
Li Yi, however, frowned. The head on the ground was just an ordinary human head, not something made by a Ghost.
He still hadn’t found the teacher’s Ghost, but the body was very likely hidden in this secret room.
[“How did Sun Aiguo’s body end up here?”]
“This is just too bizarre. Sun Aiguo’s body, who clearly died in a car accident, has appeared in the secret room of Dajiang Kindergarten.”
“I can hardly bear to look. I’m afraid another head will pop out from somewhere-I can’t handle this kind of shock.”
There must be an important clue in the secret room.
Hopefully, the identity of the Evil Ghost can also be found inside.
Li Yi stood up and walked toward the secret room.
Sun Aiguo died two years ago, yet after all this time, his head was still remarkably well preserved.
Perhaps the reason was related to the special structure of the secret room.
Entering the secret room, Li Yi knocked on the surrounding walls and discovered that they were actually made of steel.
Looking back at the door of the secret room, he saw it was also made of thick iron plates. Once closed, there were no gaps at all.
He continued forward, and when he reached the end, he finally uncovered the truth of Dajiang Kindergarten.
A child was nailed to the wall in a bizarre manner-this was Ming, the protagonist of the incident.
On the wall, a strange pattern was drawn in fresh blood: a lifelike Evil Ghost with a long tongue. Staring at the image, Li Yi couldn’t help but feel his heart race.
“What is that?” Wu Qian’s panicked voice came from behind.
She had never seen such a bizarre scene. Even compared to previous Fierce Ghost incidents, this was a thousand times more unsettling.
This was an Evil Art.
A grave look appeared in Li Yi’s eyes.
Usually, such things were used as mediums to summon certain beings.
And Ming’s birth date-born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour-made him the perfect sacrificial offering.
Ming was not taken by the Human Trafficking Organization to have his organs sold, nor was he redeemed by a kind person paying a high price.
Instead, it was the principal of this academy-publicly an administrator of a welfare institution, but secretly closely connected to the Evil God Cult.
Ming was used as a sacrifice to summon the so-called god.
It seemed that the Evil Ghost in Dajiang Kindergarten was the ‘god’ that had been summoned.
“The principal of Dajiang Kindergarten is actually a follower of the Evil God Cult. Using Ming’s unique constitution, he opened a Seal Gate that should never have been opened.
Now the Evil Ghost has broken free and is hiding in this school. You decide…”
“Option one: Close the case here and receive half of the originally promised reward.”
“Option two: Slay the Evil Ghost and double the reward.”
Of course, he would choose the second option. Li Yi didn’t hesitate-he had come here for the high amount of Skill Points upon completing the mission.
Now, with an additional reward for making a choice, it was even better.
“Are you going to stay here?” Li Yi turned to look at Wu Qian behind him.
An Evil Ghost that could be worshipped as a deity by the Evil God Cult-
Its danger level was certainly far beyond that of an ordinary Fierce Ghost.
The souls of the twenty victims of Dajiang Kindergarten were all trapped in this school, unable to escape.
It was clear that this Fierce Ghost was even more special than any he had encountered before. Once the fight started, he might not be able to protect her.
Before Wu Qian could finish her sentence, the iron door of the secret room suddenly slammed shut with a bang, making Li Yi’s heart tremble.
Damn, it’s a trap.
That head just now…
He had put the matter aside when the head appeared, but now it seemed his earlier suspicion was correct.
