Class Teacher System-Chapter 78: This world is unscientific (9)

Warning: This chapter mentions torture and abuse.

Doing the opposite of what he said, Master Yi brought his ghost-hunting tour group to the door of the Discovery bookstore at night. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

The 3 humans 1 ghost team acted very carefully so as not to inadvertently alert the enemy. It was just that when they arrived, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual with the bookstore — the entire street was pitch black; only three of the street lights were emitting a faint light.

“Ze, there’s a total of eight lights here. Why have five of them gone out? So dark and creepy.” Zhang Lian Fei quietly mumbled to himself. Behind him, Pang Fei directly laughed and flew in front of his face: “Look, look! I’m a ghost! You saw a ghost in the middle of the night! Are you scared?”

Zhang Lian Fei’s mouth twitched and he directly sent a punch through Pang Fei’s ghost head. Pang Fei stared at him in shock as he blew on his fist: “Xiao Fei, how does it feel to be punched through the head? Are you scared?”

Beside them, Ren Zhu couldn’t help but smile. These two bear children’s way of interacting must be to diss each other. But it did look pretty amusing.

“Alright, let’s think of a way to get in? Or are we doing something out here?” Ren Zhu looked at Yi Xiao. Master Yi was in an extremely bad mood and pursed his lips. He shouldn’t have brought these three who just came here to buy soy sauce. It’s not like they could help with anything, and they might even cause other problems to occur. “We can get to the underground room from the passageway inside. We’ll first enter the bookstore.”

After Master Yi said this, Zhang Lian Fei started to rummage through his backpack and then took out a master key. He inserted the key into the key hole and cleanly opened the door. His action was so smooth and natural that Master Yi was momentarily stunned. He had initially intended to forcefully break the door lock.

Zhang Lian Fei mischievously laughed: “I just knew that this thing would come in handy! I spent 2000 yuan to buy it off Taobao!”

Pang Fei was quite startled: “Did your dad get drunk again and accidentally added an extra zero to your allowance? You were willing to part with 2000 yuan?”

Zhang Lian Fei patted Pang Fei’s shoulder, although he couldn’t actually pat any substance: “Compared with you brother, 2000 yuan is nothing.”

Pang Fei fell into silence and then took the lead in entering the bookstore. The bookstore at night completely lacked the warm feeling it gave off during the day. Instead, it was filled with an uncomfortably eerie atmosphere. After Ren Zhu walked in, he subconsciously launched his class teacher’s detailed perception skill and discovered a lot of strange things he hadn’t noticed during the day.

“The positions of these books seem a little strange. They’re arranged according to a certain height order.” Ren Zhu said after carefully looking around.

Meanwhile, Yi Xiao had walked to the corner he had occupied during the day: “The entrance to the passageway is here, but it can’t be opened.” Saying this, he looked at Zhang Lian Fei, wondering if this guy could take out another useful thing. As a result, Zhang Lian Fei blinked a few times and didn’t speak. It was clear that his IQ had only gotten him this far.

In the end, it was Ren Zhu who changed the position of the books. He moved a few books from each bookshelf, arranging them from low to high. When he inserted the last book into the correct position, the floor of the bookstore started to shake and the place where Yi Xiao was standing slowly revealed a dark entrance that looked like it could swallow people.

“Uh…… are we going in?” At this moment, Zhang Lian Fei slightly regretted coming here with them. No matter how he looked at it, the underground entrance looked very ominous.

Master Yi coldly glanced at him and directly walked down the stairs, followed closely by Ren Zhu. Standing to the side, Pang Fei blurted out: “Da Fei ah. Sure enough, you only have a big body! Teacher and Master Yi are here, what are you afraid of? There’s also me! In any case, I’m an evil spirit. I’m very capable at fighting!”

Zhang Lian Fei was extremely annoyed by his words. Letting out a humph, he then proceeded to walk down.

The flight of stairs at the entrance didn’t lead very far. In only about 3 minutes, Yi Xiao and the others found their destination — this should be the secret room built directly under the bookstore. Because there wasn’t any light, Ren Zhu couldn’t see anything with his naked eye. However, he was certain that there wasn’t anything good in this room, because from the moment Yi Xiao walked in here, he was giving off an extremely cold and terrifying aura.

“Ai, why is it so dark in here? Where’s the lights?” After Zhang Lian Fei came down, he felt like he was lacking sunlight.

“Go up.” Yi Xiao finally spoke, but what he said caused Ren Zhu and Zhang Lian Fei to be slightly stunned. However, Ren Zhu quickly reacted and said to Zhang Lian Fei: “In a moment, we might cause some big movements underground. You and Pang Fei should go back up. One of you guard the front door of the store while the other guards the secret entrance. If anything happens, please inform us as soon as possible.”

Zhang Lian Fei didn’t doubt him. However, Pang Fei’s mood was very wrong at this moment. The dark aura around him became more and more intense, looking like it would erupt at any moment. But after Zhang Lian Fei called him to go up together, Pang Fei’s mood stabilised a lot.

Ren Zhu took a deep breath after the two of them left: “It’s too dark here, I can’t see anything at all. And is it just my imagination? Not only am I unable to see anything, I also feel that it’s very quiet here, just like it’s a completely enclosed space.”

Yi Xiao sighed. He suddenly discovered that his destined partner had really sharp spiritual senses. Hence, he extended his index finger and lightly tapped on Ren Zhu’s eyelids. The next moment, the situation in the room was cleanly displayed in front of Ren Zhu’s eyes, causing him to nearly throw up —

This was a completely dark and abusive crime scene. There was a row of bloody handcuffs along the western wall. And shackled to the wall, there were actually two dying youths that had been tortured until they didn’t look like people anymore! In the corner of the western wall was a large metal cabinet. If their guess wasn’t wrong, it should be filled with all kinds of torturing devices. However, these things only occupied a small section of the room. In the very centre of the secret room, there was a strange word that was integrated with blood. Ren Zhu felt that this word looked a lot like a traditional chinese character that had been morphed, but regardless of what word it was, this thing was giving off a strong evil energy. Lastly, there was a row of black tables against the eastern wall. On the tables was a row of roughly 20 white round bottles, looking like……

“…… Bone ash?” Ren Zhu found that his voice was slightly trembling.

Yi Xiao nodded. He then took a step forward and silently pulled out the long sword at his waist. This was the first time that Ren Zhu had seen Yi Xiao’s sword. It was an extremely thin and long single-edged sword that was shining with light.

Woosh—!!

A sharp sound cut through the air, and in the next second, Ren Zhu saw a golden light flash in front of him and instantly split the dark bloody character in two. Then, as thought it had opened a dangerous gate, the entire room was instantly filled with mournful wails and screams, hammering through his eardrums. Ren Zhu suddenly saw several shadows shriek and rush towards him, looking far more ferocious than Pang Fei was before!

Ren Zhu’s hair stood up and he quickly hid behind Master Yi without thinking. Seeing this, Yi Xiao froze for a moment but soon raised his eyebrow. With just a swing, a golden light sliced through the evil spirits and they vanished like smoke into thin air. Even the chilling wind that had just been blowing through the room also disappeared!

“……” Is that sword some divine treasure?

After cutting down the evil spirits, Yi Xiao turned around and saw Ren Zhu staring at the sword in his hand in amazement. His gaze softening, he directly handed the sword to Ren Zhu and rubbed his head. He then silently walked in front of the two unconscious youths and lightly tapped on the handcuffs, breaking their shackles.

Meanwhile, Teacher Ren was in a state of shock as he held that extremely impressive looking sword in his hands. He thought back on Yi Xiao’s actions just now and his entire being felt a little numb: So, did Yi Xiao just comfort him by rubbing his head?!

Fuck! He was already a several hundred year old geezer! He could actually still be rubbed in the head by someone?!

Wasn’t he usually the one who was rubbing other people’s heads? How could there actually be someone who would dare to rub his?

While Ren Zhu was still dumbstruck, Yi Xiao had already contacted Xuan Dao’s headquarters.

God knows how much horror the people over at Xuan Dao’s headquarters felt when they received Boss Yi’s call in the middle of the night. It should be said that this person usually didn’t care about insignificant cases or evil spirits that appeared in front of him. But this time, he actually decided to go out in the middle of the night to investigate a bookstore? And the reason was that he suspected that they were using Xuan Shu to do evil?! This was simply unscientific! Did Boss Yi not sleep well and damage his brain?! However, regardless of how shocked everyone was, they still used the fastest speed to dispatch people to handle this matter.

10 minutes later, Ren Zhu finally stopped thinking about that rubbing head moment. Looking at those bottles of bone ash, he sighed when he found the one with Pang Fei’s surname and birthday labelled on it.

20 minutes later, police cars secretly came and surrounding the entire street. The Xuan Dao personnel brought the policemen who were specialised in handling this matter down to the secret room. They all gasped in shock at the scene below before taking away the bottles of bone ash and sending the two youths to the hospital.

Because this whole situation was no longer something an ordinary person could handle, Xuan Dao has already taken over the follow-up investigation. As for the issue regarding Li Yao, the police would take action after the two youths regain consciousness. Right up until the police left, Xuan Dao’s two representatives, Meng Xi Chun and Luo Yang, kept staring at Yi Xiao and Ren Zhu in amazement. In the end, Luo Yang couldn’t hold back and said: “Boss, since when did you start getting involved in these matters? You’re usually so cold and don’t care whether people die or not. How come you’re so nice this time…… Oh my God! Boss, where’s your sword?! Your dragon bone sword?! Isn’t that the treasure that you never let go of?! Did you lose it?!”

Luo Yang was practically screaming in the end, looking as though it was the end of the world. Standing to the side, Teacher Ren didn’t want to see him act foolishly anymore and hence raised the sword in his hand: “Are you talking about this? I, um, I’m just helping him hold it.”

Teacher Ren then saw that Luo Yang’s eyes looked as though he had seen God. Without a doubt, this ‘God’ should be him.

“God!! Are you the destined partner that has occupied our boss’ dreams for 27 years?! I always thought that it was just a delusion to explain why Boss Yi can’t find a wife. But I didn’t expect that it was actually real?!”

Onlookers Pang Fei and Zhang Lian Fei: Fuck! These two were actually in a gay relationship?!

Meng Xi Chun: …… Although I already had a hunch, but I still couldn’t imagine it!

Ren Zhu: I’m sorry, what did you just say? I don’t think I heard it correctly. What destined partner that has occupied his dreams for 27 years?! I’ve only been here for less than a month, okay?! No, that’s not the point. The point is, why isn’t his partner a woman?!

Yi Xiao: En. It’s real.: v:
