Chapter 1395: Fantasy Antique Shop Work Log 29

This scene truly stunned all the classmates.

Wang Qiang's girlfriend wasn't the principal's niece—her identity was fake! And just now, Wang Qiang's arrogant demeanor……

Can't dwell on it—just thinking about it is embarrassing!

The gossip‑mongering classmates perked up their ears again, wanting to hear what business the principal had with Ying Wu Shu.

Seeing the principal so anxious, Ying Wu Shu already had a clue in mind, and said solemnly, "Principal, just tell me what's up—treat me as your student still."

"Eh…… okay, that's how it is."

The principal now needed Ying Wu Shu's help, didn't really want to pull rank on the teacher‑student relation, just sighed, switching his thermos cup hand over hand, glanced at the crowded cafeteria, and hurriedly said, "Please, Master, come with me—we'll talk next door."

"All right."

As Ying Wu Shu rose, he gave Zi Ying a meaningful glance, signalling Luo Qiu to watch over her, then left the cafeteria side by side with Jin Chen.

Teacher Liu watched them leave, everyone dazed, and as soon as the door closed he asked.

"What's going on! How dare you pretend to be the principal's niece?!"

Wang Qiang was also dazed—so many eyes on him made him feel utterly exposed; he'd thought he was coming to show off, but instead he lost face badly.

"Zi Ying! What… what's wrong with you!"

"Slap—"

The cafeteria fell silent all at once; Luo Qiu quietly withdrew his hand that had tried to intervene, "Whoa."

Zi Ying slapped Wang Qiang hard across the face!

"Where do you get all these problems? Your fake identity—what's it to me? The stuff and position I gave you aren't yours!"

Zi Ying spoke with resentful anger, "It's all your fault!"

She had painstakingly laid out her plan for so long, seeing success within reach, only to be thwarted by this idiot!

If Ying Wu Shu and the others discovered Du Juan……

Zi Ying retreated in panic, her nails digging deep into her palms.

No, she couldn't—she had to leave quickly; once she got out of the country, no one would ever find her again!

"Eh eh eh, you can't go!"

Luo Qiu hurriedly stepped in front of her, his Eyeball swiveling as he warned, "I see you've been invaded by yin evil lately—must have run into a ghost. Even if you escape, it won't help."

"If you want to stay alive, just behave yourself."

"What nonsense are you spouting? I… ah!" Zi Ying was bound by a Spiritual Rope, her head lowered in disbelief, her whole body feeling as if electrified, unable to move an inch.

"Really sorry—if you leave, I'm done for."

Luo Qiu smiled, turned back, and started eating again.

The other classmates, stunned like wooden chickens:???

What did they see!

"Those who should leave, leave—I just feel something's off here." Luo Qiu thought, Jin Chen and Ying Wu Shu being so serious, it definitely isn't anything simple.

A few minutes later, the first group of students who had left came rushing back upstairs, faces full of panic, "No good! The restaurant's closed!"

——

Sixth‑floor adjacent lounge.

Principal: "Originally I invited the Master here to solve the teachers' unexplained disappearances and… the haunting, but this morning my niece Du Juan suddenly vanished, and just like the missing teachers!"

Jin Chen added, "According to the police investigation, three teachers have gone missing, and before disappearing they all changed into strange clothes, even leaving a photo on the bed."

He handed the police‑forwarded photo to Ying Wu Shu to look at, "The police can't crack the case, so they applied for the Splendid Gate to intervene."

Principal: "Exactly, that's the photo—this morning Du Juan's roommate said she saw an identical one lying on the bed."

The photos were laid out on the table; together with today's missing Du Juan, there are four in total.

Without exception, everyone wore a strange, flamboyant red bodysuit, clearly tightened until their whole body turned purple, the high collar digging into their necks, yet their faces showed a blissful, serene expression—making it all the more eerie.

Jin Chen: "I checked Du Juan's social circle—this morning she was still here on the seventh floor watching a movie with that outsider."

Ying Wu Shu then understood why Jin Chen had agreed to add her as a friend yesterday—"It's because she came to the shop together with Zi Ying."

Jin Chen nodded, "The Shakra Blue‑and‑White Jade Porcelain nurtures Spiritual Power inside; it could have offset Du Juan's bad luck, but it seems she didn't manage to keep it."

Ying Wu Shu looked at the principal, "I need a drop of your blood."

"Okay, okay, sure." The principal hastily extended his hand; Ying Wu Shu drew blood to trace back.

After a few seconds of silence.

"Good, Du Juan is still alive, right here……"

Ying Wu Shu opened his eyes, his voice lower: "Right here."

"To be exact, it's in this building."

The principal exclaimed in shock, "Then! Is there really a ghost?"

Jin Chen: "One look and we'll know."

As his words fell, the lounge door was knocked—it was Luo Qiu.

"Ying Wu Shu! Outside the window it's pitch black!"

The principal jerked upright, "What?!"

It's clearly midday right now!

——

Back in the cafeteria, the panoramic window was flung open; outside, one couldn't see five fingers ahead, like a dark abyss.

All the classmates crowded beside the tables, frightened by this overly eerie scene to the point of losing their souls, some wondering if they were still dreaming.

Wang Qiang no longer felt any of that earlier superiority; squeezed into a corner, he stared intently at Ying Wu Shu, his heart a tangle of anguish and jealousy.

He both hoped Ying Wu Shu could find the cause so they could leave safely, and didn't want Ying Wu Shu to steal the spotlight under everyone's gaze here.

Such emotions grew, and Wang Qiang completely failed to notice his resentment being amplified, starting from his fingernails slowly turning black, his pupils dilating.

Everyone fell silent as if choked by cold cicadas, stemming from an inner fear of darkness, even though the restaurant was brightly lit.

Spirit Fire Mystic Light, manifest!

Jin Chen tried twice, but couldn't illuminate the outside of the window; this is highly abnormal.

"Ghost Domain..." Ying Wu Shu guessed, looking at Jin Chen, "Could it be a Ghost Domain?"

Jin Chen did not deny it, "Only a Ghost King can create a Ghost Domain isolated from the outside world."

In other words, the one who seized several teachers and Dujuan is a Ghost King surpassing other fierce ghosts.

Jin Chen set up a barrier in the cafeteria, then glanced at the pallid Ziying, his tone indifferent: "In the early hours today, you and Dujuan watched a movie here—where is she now?"

"Speak up! How did Dujuan disappear!" the principal snapped, "You're supposed to be good friends with our Dujuan—did you do something wrong to her?"

But no matter how they pressured her, Ziying stubbornly refused to speak, merely staring constantly out the window, as if fearful yet expectant.

Ying Wu Shu calculated on his fingers, his expression suddenly shifting: "We have no time left; we must hurry to find them."

Jin Chen stood at his side, "Mainly the upper two floors; I'll take the principal and Ziying to look for people."

"No, I want to go with you." Ying Wu Shu hesitated not, pursing his lips: "I don't want to watch you fight alone."

"Xiao Qiu, you stay here and guard them; contact us if there's danger."

"Eh, okay." Luo Qiu nodded, "You guys stay safe."

Ziying unwillingly followed them, always looking for a chance to escape, but Jin Chen threatened her: "Don't think you're lucky—if you're alone now, you'll be a feast for the fierce ghosts."

Ziying: "……"
