Chapter 1266: Go and See for Yourself

"Mr. Chen, where do you think is appropriate for us to go tonight?" Li Daniu turned his head to look at Chen Yu.

"Let's just go to the Graveyard. That place has heavy Yin energy. When the Ghost Gate opens wide at midnight, I'll take them to see it for themselves," Chen Yu said with a chuckle.

At midnight, Zhou Bin chartered a business van, and the group set off in a grand procession.

"Li Yan, are you just messing around?" A man wearing glasses held a book; this guy was the senior Li Yan had mentioned.

This fellow was a straight-A student; even in the car, he held a book, calculating formulas that even Chen Yu couldn't understand.

"Senior Zhang Haowen, some things exist because they are reasonable. My father has been in contact with these things since he was a child; you should believe that these things are not groundless," Li Yan said while scrolling through her phone. "But for today's matter, I also want to verify it, and bring you along while I'm at it."

"Alright then, I'll follow you to verify it too," Zhang Haowen pushed up his glasses. "Actually, I am not a materialist."

"You're not a materialist?" Li Yan was startled. "Then why do you harshly criticize superstitious viewpoints?"

"Because those things are superstition, not real, but just as you said, some things exist because they are reasonable," Zhang Haowen said. "Things passed down in Huaxia for thousands of years exist for a reason."

"You... you've left me speechless." Li Yan was speechless. She had lost the debate to this senior; he insisted that the viewpoints he held were definitely correct, and no one could win an argument against him.

So this time, she had wanted to win against him, but she hadn't expected this guy to pull a move like this.

"This kid is unfathomable," Chen Yu glanced at him and smiled slightly.

"Right, not many people can fathom me, just like how no one knows my glasses are actually plain lenses and I'm not nearsighted at all." As the guy said this, he actually took off his glasses.

"Actually, I could tell you weren't nearsighted the moment you got in the car," Chen Yu said.

"How could you tell?" Zhang Haowen looked up at Chen Yu.

"By feeling. The book you're reading is a book about the soul and energy; in the Western World, this book is considered nonsense," Chen Yu said. "Tell me your opinion."

"I don't think it's nonsense," Zhang Haowen shook his head. "Still the same saying: existence is reasonable."

"I heard there's a genius named Zhang Haowen at Modu University; could that be you?" Zhou Bin raised his head and glanced at him.

"I wouldn't dare call myself a genius, but I'm a bit better than the average person," Zhang Haowen smiled slightly.

Soon, the car arrived at the Graveyard. This place was pitch black at night, and by the Moonlight, the tombstones in front could be vaguely seen, making it look somewhat hair-raising.

Although she still held a skeptical attitude toward these things, Li Yan was still a bit afraid.

Actually, among this group, Zhou Bin and Zhou Meng had both witnessed supernatural events, and Zhang Haowen also believed in these things, so except for Li Yan, everyone else was on guard.

"There is a Bamboo Forest behind the Graveyard, and behind the Bamboo Forest is a Yin-Gathering Ground. The time has come; if you are afraid, stay here, if you aren't, then come over and take a look," Chen Yu said after checking the time.

It was now midnight, and it was the time when the Ghost Gate opened wide.

More importantly, this place itself was a Yin-Gathering Ground, so the probability of meeting those 'good friends' was quite high.

"Yanyan, you go in a group with Mr. Chen; I'll take a look around the perimeter," Li Daniu said.

"Dad, aren't you staying with me?" Li Yan was startled, and she immediately felt like backing out.

Although her dad had been acting all mystical since she was a child, keeping spirit statues at home and burning paper and incense from time to time, she had always scoffed at these things.

But when it really came to the critical moment, she still hoped that these things of her father's could come in handy.

"Ha, it's fine, his skills are much greater than mine; you'll be safe following him," Li Daniu laughed.

"Teacher Chen, what about us?" Zhou Meng asked.

"Follow your Uncle Li; let him take you for a walk over there," Chen Yu said.

"Okay." Zhou Meng nodded.

Li Haowen thought for a moment: "Teacher Chen, I'll go with you."

"Why?" Chen Yu asked.

"Because I feel that the aura on you is more powerful," Zhang Haowen said slightly, "So I think you are the strongest among this group."

"Hehe, alright then, follow me," Chen Yu nodded slightly.

Zhang Haowen's IQ was very high; this guy had already learned all the knowledge he needed to learn.

The direction he was researching now should be theology; actually, it must be said that this direction was not problematic, because the end of science itself is theology.

So if he researched it in depth, he was destined to achieve things that ordinary people could not reach.

Chen Yu led Zhang Haowen and Li Yan toward the direction of the Bamboo Forest. The road was pitch black, and the sounds made by unknown birds and beasts were hair-raising.

Li Yan suddenly regretted coming here. She held an Amulet tightly in her hand; this was something her dad had given her.

"If you want to see these things, put the Amulet away; otherwise, the Yin energy won't be able to get close to you, and you won't be able to see those things," Chen Yu said.

"There's such a saying?" Li Yan was startled.

"That's for sure. I've studied things like Amulets; they are actually just an aura. The aura inside this is stronger than the aura of ghosts, so if you hold this thing and want to see ghosts, you basically won't be able to," Zhang Haowen said.

"Then I'll put it away." Li Yan gritted her teeth and then put away the thing in her hand. She felt that since she had followed them here, she would make up her mind to see the things here.

After putting the Amulet away, she suddenly felt a gust of Yin wind blow over.

Li Yan couldn't help but shiver; she felt the temperature around her drop by several degrees in this instant.

And gusts of wind, she didn't know from which direction they were blowing, kept drilling into her neck, giving her goosebumps all over.

The few of them continued to walk forward, and soon, they arrived in the Bamboo Forest ahead.

At this time, a small mist rose; at first it was just a thin layer, but then it became a thick, pervasive fog.

The night, the thick fog—this place instantly became pitch black.

"Teacher Chen, where exactly are we going?" Li Yan said. "We've walked for so long, why haven't we seen those things yet?"

"Teacher Chen?" Li Yan turned her head and suddenly couldn't see Chen Yu or Zhang Haowen.

She panicked instantly and screamed: "Teacher Chen, where are you? Zhang Haowen? Come out! Where are you? Stop playing, I beg you."

After calling for a long time, there was still no response at all. Li Yan was truly panicked; she stumbled around searching, but there was no trace of the two of them.
