Chapter 1399: Fantasy Antique Shop Work Log 33

On the wall of the storage room, a girl was pierced through her limbs by four broken badminton rackets, nailed to the wall in a spread-eagle pose, with blood continuously flowing out, already dried.

The thin, sharp long-tail clip clamped every inch of flesh on her face; the whole face looked like a spread-out rag, with a wrinkled, flattened smoothness.

Further down, a bewitchingly beautiful red tight suit wrapped around the girl's body, constricted to an extremely distorted narrowness, as if a human head had grown on a mop handle.

Yet she was alive, her consciousness crystal clear, her eyeballs still trembling uncontrollably.

Behind the girl, a red ghostly shadow floated to and fro, softly singing a ballad.

Do you also like beautiful clothes? A pretty skin hides a dirty soul—how pitiful, who is crying……

The ghost's gaze was not on Jin Chen and the others, but looking backward.

Turning his head to look again, even Ying Wu Shu felt uneasy, averting his eyes and shifting slightly behind Jin Chen.

On the opposite wall, a middle-aged man resembling the girl was hung on a crossbeam, watching everything happen helplessly, fear and despair reaching the point of weeping blood.

The principal said in a trembling voice that he was a college teacher.

It seemed the girl might be one of the roommates.

This is too cruel.

The red shadow suddenly wept, Youyou filled with resentment, as if acting out the girl's miserable state: 'It hurts so…… it hurts so, Dad.'

Jin Chen rushed forward, a peach-wood sword appearing in his palm, the red rope lashing like a blood whip at myriad ghosts.

Ying Wu Shu happened to turn and run toward the male teacher to rescue him.

Their tacit understanding seemed to need no further words.

Ah!! The red shadow was whipped, erupting in a shrill, incredulous wail—no one expected that striking the phantom would also harm the true body; he roared angrily: 'That's what she deserves!'

What right do you have to save her!

Why… why has no one come to save me? What she endures…… is not even one ten-thousandth of mine!

The red shadow's howl ceased abruptly, containing resentment as it glared at the girl, then dissipated once more.

You will never even think of leaving this place!!!

Jin Chen: '……'

He flicked his ear, then tossed the girl, whose whole body had no good flesh, down onto the ground…… placed her.

At the last second his conscience surfaced, and he still placed her steadily on the ground.

Bei Bei… my Bei Bei ah! The male teacher rescued by Ying Wu Shu knelt on the ground, cradling the girl, "Look, Dad…"

Ying Wu Shu half-squatted, trying to pull out the long-tail clip, but it had already sunk deep into bone and flesh; pulling it out would kill the girl instantly.

"Save her! Save her!" the male teacher suddenly roared at Ying Wu Shu, his disheveled hair flung back by the motion of raising his head; both were somewhat stunned.

"Ying Wu Shu?"

Ying Wu Shu frowned, smiling somewhat indifferently: "Mr. Liu, long time no see."

Liu Dong fell silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head and said: "No matter what grudges I once had with you, you cannot stand by and let someone die…… Liu Bei… my daughter is just two years older than you; she cannot die……"

Yo, this guy still has a grudge against his wife.

Jin Chen pulled Ying Wu Shu's hand, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "If you had let Ling Hong go back then, none of this would be happening."

Liu Dong's face changed in shock; he clenched his teeth silently.

Jin Chen leaned slightly forward, tapping Liu Bei's forehead with two fingers, then withdrew his hand and wiped it on his pant leg.

"She cannot move now; maintaining the status quo is what keeps her alive—of course, I cannot guarantee how long she will last."

Speaking, Jin Chen suddenly turned to Ying Wu Shu and said: "Ling Hong is still quite kind; even after becoming a ghost king to take revenge, she hasn't killed anyone."

Ying Wu Shu almost got led astray by him, then after a few seconds said: "But becoming a ghost king inherently requires being stained with blood, right."

All that can be said is that the number of people killed is still not large, allowing one to retain a clear mind.

Jin Chen nodded, then looked at Liu Bei's steady gaze, which seemed fixed on some point; following his line of sight, only Zi Ying trembled incessantly in the corner.

Just who is this person?

Jin Chen lowered his eyes in contemplation.

【0731。】

【Hey, I'm here, Host~】

Ling Gun Gun completely disregards the Host's unconscious address; facing the poop-scooper who hasn't regained memory, the Divine Beast Master ought to be more tolerant!

【Check who Ling Hong's roommates are; I want a concrete list.】

【Sure thing~ please wait.】

"First leave this place; the Ghost Domain's scene keeps shifting, there might be others." Ying Wu Shu did not mention his feud with Liu Dong, "You carry Liu Bei on your back."

But just as Liu Dong was helping the person up, Liu Bei suddenly summoned strength from somewhere, shoved everyone aside, and slammed hard into the wall!

She was in too much pain, preferring death to enduring it.

At the moment her consciousness faded, Liu Bei suddenly understood why Ling Hong hadn't killed him.

Because Ling Hong had committed suicide; before she died…… she probably had the same thought.

The corpse hit the ground.

Jin Chen twitched his fingers, averting his gaze.

Too late, but it's not his fault.

"Bei Bei!" Liu Dong let out a muffled roar, tears streaming down his face.

Jin Chen took Ying Wu Shu's hand as they left, glancing sideways at the fearful Zi Ying lest she be left behind, and said meaningfully: "If you don't want to die, stay close."

"Come on, let's go!" The principal hauled Liu Dong to his feet, "Being alive is important……"

Moreover, he still hasn't found Dujuan!

Leaving the storage room, a sharp laugh from Youyou echoed down the corridor.

In the next instant, everyone's vision blurred again, and they appeared in another place.

——

Jin Chen surveyed the surroundings, dilapidated but barely recognizable.

"Is this a classroom?" It's completely a haunted holy site.

Ying Wu Shu nodded: "It's the old teaching building behind the gym, abandoned for ages; when I first started college I heard they were going to renovate it."

"And then?" Jin Chen was curious.

"Then I graduated from university, and it remained the same."

Jin Chen: "……"

The principal wiped his sweat, "Isn't it… due to lack of funds?"

Ying Wu Shu gave no comment, although he didn't know where the money for the automatic escalator in the three-story district cafeteria came from.

Bang!

A classroom door suddenly opened, the dim yellow light turned on, and a vague sound came from inside.

"Someone!" the principal cried excitedly, "Could it be Dujuan?"

Jin Chen went in first, then turned back to the principal outside and said, "Unfortunately, it's not."

The principal shook his head and sighed, then upon entering he was surprised again.

"Teacher Song!"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, "And who is this?"

"The counselor, the counselor of Ling Hong's class." The principal, seeing he was unharmed, hurried forward, "Teacher Song, you need to get down…"

Teacher Song turned his face sideways, half of it already melted, staring blankly at the principal, shifting from shock to pleading.

"Save me…… I can't leave… can't leave!"

"Ah!"

The principal kept stepping back, unable to tell whether it was a person or a ghost.

Youyou's ghostly voice drifted again in the dormitory, a red shadow appeared on the lecture hall screen.

"Can't hear, can't speak clearly; the words of poor students needn't be listened to, it's you who's howling and yelling randomly, why do you only bully others…"

The red shadow slowly approached the trapped Teacher Song on the podium, its sinister blood-red eyes fixed: "Why do you only bully others?"
