A minor argument broke out in the dormitory building. Li Qisi was bragging about her affair with the Fox Immortal when Liu Qingxuan overheard for a while. She couldn't hold back any longer and decided that the reason the Nightmare Game failed was definitely due to her boyfriend Chu Shan, and had nothing to do with the Fox Immortal spirit!

The two girls each held their own opinion, believing they were right. But in reality, their stories sounded like fantasy to others— Fox Immortal, the school beauty's reclusive master boyfriend—clearly clichéd plots from novels!

Li Qisi couldn't produce any evidence because the Fox Immortal left nothing behind, but Liu Qingxuan could, since her boyfriend Chu Shan was a student at the school!

So Liu Qingxuan led a group of well-meaning people, full of bravado, to find Chu Shan.

Chu Shan's dormitory was in a remote location, and he lived alone. He was away from school for long periods of time, so he didn't know many people. When Liu Qingxuan arrived, the dormitory was empty, and there was no one in sight.

Li Qisi mocked from the side, "Serves you right for bragging, you've been exposed!"

Liu Qingxuan's face turned pale. She was very worried that Chu Shan might have encountered a dangerous situation in the Nightmare Game, or perhaps suffered serious injuries...

At that moment, she had no idea that her beloved boyfriend had become a corpse in a sack.

After squeezing every last drop of value out of Chu Shan, Hu Jiu killed him without hesitation and quickly stuffed him into Golden Corpse Bag.

He has taken in countless Fierce Ghost, but the Ghost-Drawing Talisman and Nightmares that Chu Shan wields are truly valuable!

He Ming watched him from the side, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Hu Jiu rolled her eyes. "Just say what you want to say. What's there to stammer in front of me?"

He Ming asked, "Did you take Chu Shan's body away to control his two Fierce Ghosts?"

Hu Jiu nodded.

He Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He had unexpectedly gained control of the Mirage Ghost, and the Chu Family would not let him off the hook. However, Hu Jiu's actions were even more outrageous, and she would definitely be targeted by the Chu Family first!

Although it wasn't a good way to think, He Ming still felt that it was nice to have someone by his side, facing the same crisis...

He was somewhat afraid to confront the dark side of his own heart, and could only joke, "If you ever come up with any special Talisman or anything, remember to send me a copy."

Hu Jiu nodded. "Go report to Headquarters. Say whatever you want. If you lie, remember to tell me afterwards, and I'll cover for you."

He Ming retorted, "Just tell the truth. What reason do I have to lie?"

Hu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, "You still trust Headquarters so much."

He Ming fell silent instantly.

In the brief moment he was distracted, the Golden Corpse Bag in Hu Jiu's hand vanished. He Ming wasn't surprised; the three Ghost Tamer had been chasing him had also disappeared into thin air after Hu Jiu killed and contained them.

After spending this time together, He Ming wouldn't be too surprised by anything Hu Jiu did.

He Ming wasn't sure if Hu Jiu was always this strong, or if he had been desperately trying to increase his strength since the Ghost Grass Incident. There was no point in dwelling on this question.

After dealing with the source of the Supernatural at Langzhou University, the two headed towards the president's office. On the way, He Ming picked up the Satellite Phone and communicated with his operator to report the encouraging results of the mission.

He truthfully recounted 90% of the intelligence, without embellishment or omission, especially regarding information about the Beidou Organization and the Chu Family!

However, he didn't mention a single word about the Ghost-Drawing Talisman, the relationship between the Mirage Ghost and the Chu Family, or the various abilities Hu Jiu used to defeat Chu Shan and intimidate government officials in Langzhou City.

The Headquarters wasn't that reliable, He Ming wanted to find a new powerful ally. Naturally, the more secretive and leaked the information about Hu Jiu was, the better.

In fact, He Ming hadn't figured out how many abilities Hu Jiu had along the way. Invading dreams, remotely cursing and killing—he seemed capable of anything. Chu Shan's Nightmare and Ghost-Drawing Talisman sounded incredibly powerful, but Hu Jiu still dealt with him with ease.

He Ming felt that his relationship with Hu Jiu was pretty good; at least Hu Jiu was willing to come to his rescue when he was in danger. Although he had already realized that Hu Jiu's purpose in coming to Langzhou City might not be simple, and that it wasn't just to save him, what could he do? Judging by actions, not intentions, he only saw that Hu Jiu was willing to come to his rescue, while Headquarters did nothing!

The two arrived at the principal's office. Principal Liang hadn't rested yet; he was anxiously awaiting the results, undoubtedly hoping that the Headquarters investigators would win and eliminate that cancer within Langzhou University.

But what if it fails?

In this situation, Principal Liang felt he needed to come up with a plan to protect himself. He considered many possibilities and came up with several arguments in his mind.

Fortunately, the final result was encouraging. Hu Jiu and He Ming went to the principal's office again and told him directly, "The problem has been completely solved."

Upon hearing this, Principal Liang's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?" He was somewhat incredulous; how could such a big problem be resolved in such a short time?

He Ming handed the phone to Principal Liang; the screen showed Chu Shan's lifeless body with its eyes wide open.

Principal Liang was startled, but remained calm and bowed deeply. "Thank you so much for your selfless dedication!"

"The Supernatural incident at the school has been resolved, and you can give an explanation to the affected students. However, the existence of Supernatural is not currently publicly acknowledged in China, so you will need to take care of some follow-up confidentiality work. While calming the victims down, you must prevent them from talking about it to others. I will return to the administrative department later to arrange for someone to assist you," Hu Jiu said softly.

Principal Liang nodded hurriedly, his muscles tense, feeling both nervous and puzzled. Previously, when these two came to the office, He Ming had always been the leader, while "Hu Jiu" remained silent and completely unnoticed. But now, Hu Jiu was in charge, and although he spoke softly on the surface, the sense of oppression was extremely strong. Principal Liang didn't dare to utter a single unnecessary word.

"There's one more thing," Hu Jiu said, looking at Principal Liang.

"Please give your instructions," Principal Liang said respectfully.

Hu Jiu said, "Chu Shan's identity is unusual. After the news of his death gets out, it will definitely attract the attention of some people behind the scenes who will investigate. It might cause some trouble for you and the school."

Principal Liang's expression changed, and he rubbed his hands together. Hu Jiu continued, "In case you encounter any unpleasant situation, prioritize your own safety. Notify us as soon as you find an opportunity, and we'll arrive immediately..."

After saying that, Hu Jiu handed over a mirror.
