Chapter 1528 609
In Lu Menglei’s anxious state of mind, the two of them quickly arrived at the sixth floor.
The top of this teaching building had no skylights. If the first and second floors still had some dim light coming through the glass doors, the sixth floor was pitch black, with only a few pale green emergency exit signs emitting weak light.
“Did you see which classroom that cat went into?” Cao Yuan’s gaze swept across the nine classrooms on this floor.
“…I didn’t see clearly, but it should be in one of the classrooms on the north side,” Lu Menglei said uncertainly.
“The north side?”
Cao Yuan looked toward the north side of this floor. The closest to them was room 601, followed by classrooms with odd numbers continuing forward, five rooms in total.
“Let’s check them one by one.”
Cao Yuan led Lu Menglei to the door of classroom 601 and peered inside through the glass window. Dim moonlight shone in from outside, and the dark classroom was completely silent with nothing unusual.
He gripped the doorknob, gently turned it, and stepped inside.
“It doesn’t seem to be on the floor. Maybe it’s in the desk drawers. Should we split up to search?” Cao Yuan suggested.
“No, don’t split up!” Lu Menglei held Cao Yuan’s arm tighter and firmly said, “I’ll search with you!”
Cao Yuan raised an eyebrow and naturally wouldn’t refuse. He led her to search from the first row of desks to the back, but after turning the entire classroom upside down, there was still no sign of the handbag.
“Looks like it’s not in this room. Let’s go to the next one.”
Cao Yuan led Lu Menglei to search all the classrooms on the north side of the sixth floor in sequence: 601, 603, 605, 607… By the time they walked out of the second-to-last classroom, Lu Menglei’s face had become quite pale.
“It seems it should be in 609.”
“Do we… really have to go in there?” Lu Menglei looked at the classroom in the darkest corner and recalled the horror stories again, asking in a small voice.
“Don’t worry, with me here, even if we encounter those monsters and ghosts, they’ll only have the option to run away,” Cao Yuan said with a confident chuckle.
He pulled Lu Menglei to the door of classroom 609 and habitually looked inside through the small glass window, then suddenly froze in place!
“What’s wrong?” Lu Menglei stood behind Cao Yuan, unable to see through the window, and asked in confusion.
She leaned forward slightly, her gaze catching what was inside, and her whole body suddenly trembled!
This classroom, located in the most remote corner of Building 5, had almost no light coming in from outside. The only light source was the emergency exit sign at the back of the classroom. But now, in this dark classroom, beams of light were emanating from the desks, some like flashlights, some like lanterns…
It was as if the dark classroom was already filled with people.
Lu Menglei’s body began to tremble slightly, and she almost buried herself in Cao Yuan’s arms. Looking at this supernatural scene before her, she opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.
“So it’s actually true…” Cao Yuan recalled the story Lu Menglei had just told him and frowned slightly.
Throughout his journey, he had seen all sorts of things, but this kind of genuine ghost and supernatural event was truly a first. The key was that Cao Yuan hadn’t detected any trace of “mysterious” aura, which meant those inside weren’t monsters from rural legends, but real remnant souls.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hallway.
“Why did they stop moving?” Jiang Er asked in confusion, seeing the two suddenly freeze at the classroom door.
Lin Qiye was also puzzled. He extended his spiritual force into the classroom, but it was completely empty with nothing inside.
“Something’s not right,” An Qingyu pointed at Lu Menglei, who was now hiding in Cao Yuan’s arms. “Her reaction is too intense… they must have seen something.”
“You all wait here, I’ll go check it out.”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qiye transformed into a shadow and slipped into the darkness, heading directly toward classroom 609.
Just as he floated past the light well between two corridors, he seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look at the lobby on the first floor. “At this time… someone else is coming?”
A figure carrying a plastic bag pushed open the door of the teaching building. It was a young woman in her mid-twenties, wearing casual clothes and sneakers. She had an ID card hanging around her neck, and from the text on it, she was the building manager of Beijing University’s comprehensive building.
After entering the building, the woman walked straight toward the elevator, but then discovered it was out of power. After standing there for a moment, she began walking toward the stairs.
Just then, from the corner of her eye, she caught the faint light from Cao Yuan’s phone flashlight at the door of classroom 609 on the sixth floor, and suddenly shouted:
“Who’s there?!”
“Cao, Junior Cao Yuan… let’s leave quickly!” Lu Menglei finally came to her senses and pulled at Cao Yuan’s hand, constantly trying to back away. “That legend is real! If we go in, we’ll be haunted!”
Cao Yuan calmly shook his head. “Don’t worry, with me here, no one can haunt you… I want to see who’s playing these ghostly tricks.”
“You brought your bamboo sword, right?”
“I did, it’s behind me… but, but a bamboo sword can’t kill ghosts!”
“It’s good that you brought it.”
Cao Yuan gripped Lu Menglei’s cold, sweaty hand and pushed the door open. A crisp creaking sound echoed throughout the sixth floor!
Hearing this sound, those shadows with flashlights in classroom 609 suddenly turned their heads. Seeing the fierce-looking Cao Yuan standing at the door with Lu Menglei, they simultaneously extinguished their lights and quickly darted toward the dark edges of the classroom. Several figures flew directly toward the two!
Lu Menglei let out a cry and tightly closed her eyes.
Seeing these figures daring to rush toward him, Cao Yuan snorted coldly and quickly reached for his bamboo sword…
Just then, a voice appeared by his ear:
“Your Forbidden Domain makes too much noise. Let me handle this.”
Hearing this voice, Cao Yuan’s hand, which was about to touch the bamboo sword, paused in mid-air. A figure stepped out from the darkness, and the next moment, a pair of eyes like golden furnaces suddenly ignited in the darkness!
Terrifying spiritual power poured out. With the expansion of [Mortal Divine Domain], a crisp explosion sounded from within the classroom, as if something had shattered.
Those shadows floating toward Cao Yuan, sensing the scorching aura emanating from Lin Qiye, paused briefly before turning to rush toward the windows. But the speed of [Mortal Divine Domain] was far faster than theirs. In the blink of an eye, it was about to engulf them.
“Stop!!” Just then, a woman’s voice suddenly rang out, and the golden waves surging from Lin Qiye’s body abruptly halted in mid-air.
In this brief pause, those soul shadows in the darkness quickly floated out through one of the classroom windows and disappeared into the night sky.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye frowned slightly and turned his head toward the direction of the voice.
