Chapter 43
How could he have forgotten that the Fierce Ghost at Dajiang Kindergarten could turn invisible?
Li Yi couldn’t help but curse. Other Fierce Ghosts could be detected by his Yin-Yang Eyes.
But the Fierce Ghost at Dajiang Kindergarten was completely silent – truly impossible to guard against.
Inside the classroom, they still had the help of the Ink Line (a special tool for warding off spirits), but once they stepped outside, there was no way at all to detect even the slightest trace of this Fierce Ghost.
“What should we do? We’re locked in here,” Wu Qian exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.
Before entering, they had checked carefully – there was no one outside the door but themselves. So who exactly had closed the door?
This secret room was made entirely of steel; once locked inside, without outside help, there was no way to escape.
Wu Qian quickly pulled out her phone to call for help from the Bureau.
Damn! Still no signal.
Wu Qian stomped her foot in frustration.
“Don’t bother trying. We’re inside the Fierce Ghost’s Ghost Domain now – we’re not in reality anymore.”
Li Yi glanced around as he spoke.
Although it looked like they were still in the principal’s secret room at Dajiang Kindergarten, with his Yin-Yang Eyes, Li Yi could see that all these buildings around them were made up of Yin energy.
“Ghost Domain…” Wu Qian said nervously. “A Fierce Ghost that can create a Ghost Domain must at least be city-destroying level. What should we do now?”
“No need to worry. Watch me in action.” Li Yi grinned at the live stream and said, “Trapped in a secret room? Don’t panic! Watch my stream – I’ll show you every escape trick.”
As soon as he finished, Li Yi took a step forward.
He walked up and kicked the top of the iron door.
With a loud bang, the iron door flew open, landing almost two meters away.
The solid iron door gave way instantly under Li Yi’s kick.
“‘Every escape trick,’ my ass! If I had the Streamer’s superhuman strength, I’d walk sideways wherever I went.”
“Come on, Streamer, can you act like a normal person? Who else could actually use that escape trick?”
“Holy crap, that iron door looked seriously heavy – it even cracked the concrete floor when it landed. The Streamer just kicked it open like it was nothing!”
“Obvious newbie above! You must have missed when the Streamer was bashing Fierce Ghosts before – every punch was a crit, and those ghosts were kneeling, calling him daddy!”
The stream chat exploded with excitement.
Li Yi walked out of the secret room nonchalantly – it was all routine for him.
Wu Qian, standing beside him, was completely stunned. He had simply torn the room apart and escaped, which left Wu Qian dumbfounded.
This kind of bulldozing escape truly opened her eyes.
She stood there looking dazed.
But Li Yi had no time to care about Wu Qian’s reaction – by now he had already figured out the Fierce Ghost’s identity.
It really was Ming.
Ming’s soul had already been sacrificed to the Evil God, but according to the information the System had given him earlier, it was the Fierce Ghost Ming who had returned and killed everyone at Dajiang Kindergarten.
So there was definitely something wrong with this Ming.
He wasn’t the real Ming at all, but rather the Evil God taking Ming’s form and descending into the world.
As for the teachers’ Ghosts, they had most likely also been sacrificed to the Evil God, which was why they had disappeared.
Soon, Li Yi brought Wu Qian back to the classroom they’d been in before.
“Student, you’re back again? Hurry to your seat and get ready for class.”
The classroom looked exactly as it had when Li Yi left; the Fierce Ghost still wore that fake smile.
But now that Li Yi knew the Fierce Ghost’s true identity, he didn’t need to play along anymore.
“Which one of you is Ming?” Li Yi asked with a cocky swagger, sounding just like a gangster looking for trouble.
Li Yi had a clever idea and didn’t go straight into the classroom, because he always felt there was something extremely strange about it.
Earlier, when he was in the classroom, he tried to go head-to-head with the Fierce Ghosts, but then the System popped up two options.
It prompted him to obey the rules of the classroom, so Li Yi guessed that this was very likely some kind of home turf for the Fierce Ghosts. If he fought them inside, his chances of winning were low.
The Fierce Ghosts didn’t answer Li Yi’s question, but their expressions told him everything he needed to know.
So it’s really you.
Li Yi looked at Ming, the teacher on the podium.
No wonder Ming just kept repeating, “Student, please return to your seat,” with a fake smile plastered on his face.
This only confirmed Li Yi’s judgment: the Fierce Ghost didn’t dare come out, but wanted to lure him into the classroom instead.
You want me to go in?
Keep dreaming.
Li Yi rummaged in his pocket for a while-there was still some Ink Line left from before.
“Audience Friends, what do you do when a Fierce Ghost refuses to cooperate? Watch my moves.”
While everyone was watching Li Yi’s actions in confusion,
He suddenly threw the Ink Line and actually looped it over Ming’s head.
“Come here!”
Li Yi pulled with both arms, yanking the Fierce Ghost out of the classroom.
The Fierce Ghost’s vacant eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.
Wu Qian was so stunned her mouth nearly fell open.
The Live Streaming Room instantly erupted into wild banter.
[“Dude, you’re a legend for lassoing a ghost! So badass.”]
[“This scene is going down in the history books. No Spirit Binder in history will ever top this moment. I can’t believe you can actually lasso a ghost!”]
[“Ghost: Ten bucks for twenty rings, lasso as you like, take it home if you land one-hey, why’d you lasso me?!”]
The Fierce Ghosts at Dajiang Kindergarten had the ability to turn invisible. Li Yi had almost fallen for that trick before.
After suffering once, Li Yi wasn’t about to make the same mistake again.
This time, he wrapped the Ink Line tightly around the Fierce Ghost. He wanted to see how the Fierce Ghost would go invisible with the Ink Line still on him.
“Hehehe… So you’ve already figured out my identity. But so what?
You’ll stay here with them in this classroom-forever!”
“I’ve been sealed here for so long. It’s been ages since I’ve tasted blood!”
Realizing he’d been exposed, the Fierce Ghost dropped all pretense. A crimson tongue, half a foot long, stretched from the corner of his mouth.
He grinned wickedly, looking nothing like a real child anymore-more like some indescribable creature wearing human skin.
“What… what is that…”
Seeing its true form, Wu Qian couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine.
The Fierce Ghost’s body began to visibly change-he grew taller, his limbs becoming thin and contorted, like a monster out of a bio-horror movie.
His skin peeled off in layers, revealing bright red muscle underneath.
In an instant, his entire body grew noticeably larger.
Li Yi frowned at the sight.
“You… are Yinsi?”
A strange look appeared on the Fierce Ghost’s face.
“Didn’t expect you to know my identity. Doesn’t matter-you’re still going to die!”
With that, the Fierce Ghost shot his crimson tongue straight at Li Yi.
Seeing that disgusting thing coming his way, Li Yi quickly zoomed the live-stream camera in.
[“Bro, can you act like a human? Can you please move the camera? I do NOT want to see that thing.”]
[“Please, Streamer, have some decency! You used to use the camera to check peepholes, we didn’t say anything. Now you’re zooming in on a tongue…”]
[“I was eating noodles while watching the stream-now it feels like my whole bowl is full of tongues…”]
The comments section exploded with wails.
