Chapter 59: Office

Along the way, the team was quiet. Zhou Taifu grabbed the clothes he borrowed and walked to the right of the team. He glanced occasionally at Zhen Jianren beside him. The latter was silent with a dark face. In great contrast was Jiang Cheng. With a puffed chest, he walked at the front, leading the way for the group.

Fatty followed closely behind him. Xu Wen and Zhang Yinyin stayed at the back of the group. The former was better, but the latter changed tremendously. Her sense of helplessness disappeared to be replaced by a cool gaze. Things were more complicated than she thought. She couldn’t tell how authentic Jiang Cheng’s story was. However, what she could confirm was the portrait, and the ghost should be real. Especially the detail of the ghost’s hand...

She still remembered how Zhen Jianren froze when he heard that the ghost had a hand twice the size of a normal human. His arrogance disappeared instantly, and the fear in his eyes was evident. This confused her.

Zhang Yinyin had two guesses.

First, Zhen Jianren and Luo Yi managed to gather some extra information on the female ghost and found out that her right hand was abnormal. Of course, they didn’t plan to share this piece of information with the rest.

Second, and more directly, they... had seen this ghost before. That was how they knew her physical appearance. Zhang Yinyin’s eyes landed on Zhen Jianren’s back, and her eyes chilled.

Could it be... on him?

...

Before the team split up, they received the notification that the second rehearsal would be at 2 in the afternoon. They were told to be present. The venue was the same, the music classroom at Block C. The group was on the way to Block C.

Luo Yi was missing. Based on what Zhen Jianren said, he went alone to the files room to investigate the female ghost.

Before they reached Block C, they saw a person from a distance. She stood before the entrance to Block C. She paced around nervously. Fatty recognised the person instantly.

“You’re finally here.” When the woman saw Jiang Cheng’s group, she moved to welcome them. It was the same woman who welcomed them during the previous rehearsal. Xu Wen said her name was Feng Lan.Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com

“Your friend is in a conflict with the guards.” Feng Lan said anxiously, “He is now detained. The school is preparing to call the police on him.”

“Is it Luo Yi?”

“I don’t know his name.” Feng Lan looked out of sorts. As she explained the situation, she urged everyone upstairs. “He wears a cap and has a few scars on his forehead.”

That was definitely Luo Yi... Furthermore, everyone else was present.

The argument escalated, but the people outside the door didn’t plan to enter the office to help. No one even said anything to mediate. To be more precise, they made no sound.

They only stood there and watched the situation with detachment.

“You...” Feng Lan frowned as she urged, “Why didn’t you go in to help him?”

Her answer was obtuse gazes and a long silence.

The cold sweat... slid down Fatty’s cheeks. But he didn’t move. The people inside didn’t expect this. Even the sound of argument lowered.

Both sides... were separated by a door. They stared at each other.

Eventually, Jiang Cheng moved.

He pulled open the bag on his shoulder and pulled out the camera. He aimed it at the office. Before the people inside could react...

There was a click.

He took a picture.

The next second, everyone crowded around the camera. The camera Jiang Cheng had was given to him by the old man at the Prop Building. Its function had been found. It could capture ghosts on film.

The picture became clear. When they saw it, everyone’s expression slowly returned to normal.

Fatty sighed and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face.

Everyone in the picture looked normal. There was nothing out of place.

The lead security woman widened her eyes. She didn’t understand what just happened.
