Chapter 28

The result was damn good, not only did he fail to hold in a fart, but he also couldn't even recognize such an obvious trap and was still trying to jump into it with all his might.

"Moron! Moron! Moron... Bastard! Bastard! Bastard...!"

Although Xia Tianqi was extremely annoyed with Leng Yue and didn't want to follow him at all, there were two ghosts here, not just one.

Who knew if the two ghosts wouldn't play a feint, with one responsible for luring Leng Yue away and the other planning to come around and kill him.

So, although he cursed fiercely, his feet didn't slow down at all. He was desperately chasing after Leng Yue and finally caught up with him on the fourth floor.

"You really want to tire me to death..."

Xia Tianqi, leaning on his knees, was panting heavily, while Leng Yue was still staring at a nearby bathroom.

Then, he took a step forward.

"Damn it, can you wait for me!"

Xia Tianqi was almost unable to resist attacking Leng Yue. He might not be good at fighting ghosts, but he was quite skilled at fighting people.

Following Leng Yue, they pushed open the door to the bathroom on this floor. Both of them instinctively hugged their shoulders because the temperature inside was drastically different from the corridor outside. It was like one was winter and the other was summer.

Xia Tianqi's heart was pounding in his throat, his wide eyes searching the large bathroom, feeling extremely uneasy.

Leng Yue was also on high alert, holding a paper talisman in each hand.

The cold air was thick with a deathly silence.

They walked straight to the lockers, and during the process, a small door on one of them kept trembling.

Staring intently at the trembling small door, Xia Tianqi and Leng Yue exchanged a glance, sensing unease and fear in each other's eyes.

"Sealing Spell! Om Namo Namo..."

Leng Yue withdrew his gaze and began to murmur words Xia Tianqi couldn't understand. Then, he pointed two fingers at the small door and said:

"Seal!"

At the moment Leng Yue said "Seal," the small door that had been trembling suddenly popped out!

From it emerged Han Xiyuan, stuffed in like a dead lump of flesh in a space less than 40 centimeters high. His bones seemed to be shattered, his body twisted and crammed into the small space, with only his wide-open eyes still relatively intact.

Otherwise, they would never have recognized that the "thing" in the locker was the Han Xiyuan they had been looking for.

With his eyes wide open and his mouth stretched to an exaggerated degree, it seemed as if Han Xiyuan was warning them fiercely that there... was a ghost!

At that moment, Xia Tianqi felt his blood freeze, a corpse-like coldness spreading throughout his body.

"It seems we are the only two living people left in this building."

Although he had some conflicts with Han Xiyuan before, they were just verbal spats, not real enmity. He didn't want to see anyone die, especially since they were both newbies, and the death of one made him feel a deep sorrow.

Because the next one to die in a tragic way could be him.

Leng Yue's face was also very pale, either because of seeing Han Xiyuan's body or because the ghosts were far more vicious than he had expected.

Seeing that Leng Yue was neither speaking nor making a move, Xia Tianqi urged him:

"Since we've confirmed that Han Xiyuan is dead, there's no need for us to stay here. Besides, this place looks like a trap set by the ghosts.

They could appear at any time..."

"Huh... What's that!!!"

While Xia Tianqi was speaking, he suddenly saw something and pointed at the locker in shock.

Following Xia Tianqi's finger, Leng Yue was also startled to see a strand of hair on the locker.

In other words...

There was a ghost hiding behind the locker!

Just as Xia Tianqi and Leng Yue discovered it, a face almost completely covered by hair appeared from behind the locker.

The only part of the face visible to them was the mouth, which was now curling upward into a sinister smile.

In the next instant, the locker slammed heavily towards the two, who were still in shock.

"Ah—!"

Both of them let out a scream and instinctively stepped back.

During the process, Leng Yue quickly recovered and urgently took out a stack of paper talismans from his backpack. He bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the talismans:

"Ghost-Burning Talisman! Demons and ghosts, perish now!"

Leng Yue roared, and the paper talismans in his hand instantly flew out, igniting in the air and forming a large ring of fire that enveloped the locker and the evil ghost hiding behind it.

Xia Tianqi found this technique very familiar and soon realized why. The middle-aged man at the Xin Hua Grand Bookstore had used a similar technique.

As the large ring of fire bound the ghost, Leng Yue made a hand sign and shouted:

"Burn!"

The word "Burn" was followed by the ring of fire instantly turning into a "sea of fire," and soon a series of piercing screams could be heard from within.

During this, Xia Tianqi and Leng Yue kept retreating, but when they reached the door, they found it sealed shut, and their efforts to move it were futile.

"Damn it!"

Xia Tianqi kicked the door hard, feeling as if he had kicked a wall, with not even a slight shake.

Since they couldn't escape for the moment, he could only hope that Leng Yue could either trap the ghost or kill it. However, the result was none of the above.

When the "sea of fire" dissipated, the scene of the red-clothed female ghost being completely burned did not appear. Instead, the true form of the red-clothed female ghost was revealed.

A face with only a mouth and no features!

As for the red clothes she had been wearing, they were now completely charred.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the true form of the red-clothed female ghost, Xia Tianqi's legs started to tremble. Clearly, the ghost had not only survived but was also thoroughly enraged by Leng Yue.

Leng Yue also realized this, his face as pale as death, seemingly at a loss.

"What do we do? Aren't you a ghost hunter? Think of something quickly! Even if you can't kill it, at least open the door so we can escape!"

Xia Tianqi swore this was the most pathetic thing he had ever said.

"In a moment, I'll distract it, and you just run!"

Leng Yue took a deep breath, took out a wooden sword with only a hilt and no blade from his backpack, and stepped forward, blocking Xia Tianqi.
