"Ordinary people cannot break the seal, as the price would be unimaginable."

"What kind of price is it?" Li Tongtian asked.

"Human lives," Master Du Mo said, looking at us, his voice a murmur. "To prevent Han Qianqian from reviving and wreaking havoc again, I attached a terrifying seal to her, called the Nine Deaths Seal."

"This means that anyone who touches anything related to the seal will be killed. With each death, the seal weakens. This also means that once nine people die, the tenth person can break the seal."

"Therefore, unless nine people voluntarily sacrifice their lives, it's impossible to break the seal."

Li Tongtian and I gasped. We never imagined such a terrifying evil art existed in this world.

And such a dreadful evil art was performed by a monk.

Master Du Mo seemed to read our minds. He chanted a Buddhist name, his gaze falling on us, his eyes cold. "Such evil arts are naturally harmful and go against heavenly principles. But if used for a righteous cause, they can also be used for subduing demons and eradicating monsters."

"Once Han Qianqian is released, more than just nine people will die. I believe you both know how terrifying she is."

I nodded, then asked in confusion, "So, because of breaking Han Qianqian's seal, at least nine people have died. This is quite strange."

"Yes, if the previous people perhaps touched it by accident, then what about the later ones?" Li Tongtian murmured.

"According to what Wang Qunze just said, the female corpse possesses a mysterious demonic power that can attract others. But in my humble opinion, she doesn't have that ability," Master Du Mo suddenly said.

His words shocked Li Tongtian and me. We exchanged bewildered glances.

I looked at him and asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

"This is a setup. Someone wants to release Han Qianqian. To achieve this, they are willing to sacrifice nine lives. As for Wang Qunze, he's just a pitiable soul who managed to escape," Master Du Mo said.

"That's terrifying," I exclaimed, my eyes filled with fear.

Who was it that released Han Qianqian, letting this fierce ghost out of its cage?

In the face of such a disaster, both Li Tongtian and I seemed to be mere pawns caught in this scheme.

"Someone is helping Han Qianqian, but why? And why can't Han Qianqian leave the school grounds?" Li Tongtian asked two questions in a row.

"No one knows why. As for why Han Qianqian cannot leave here," Master Du Mo glanced at us, then turned his gaze back to the school. "This is a place of great misfortune. I once advised the Principal to move the school away from here. Because beneath the ground here is a graveyard, and it's a bizarre formation in Feng Shui. The convergence of yin energy makes this place extremely terrifying."

"The Principal didn't listen to me. They only moved after the incident. Han Qianqian died here, so even though she transformed into a fierce ghost, she cannot leave this place. Thus, she can only linger here, killing everyone who enters."

"So, does she really have no chance of leaving?" I asked on a sudden impulse.

Master Du Mo looked at me deeply, then said, "Of course not. If it truly comes to that, then you should run. Run as far as you can."

"Why is that?" Li Tongtian asked.

"Because at that point, she will truly have no restraints. Whoever she wants to kill, must die. She will be a soul reaper walking the earth," Master Du Mo said, then turned and left.

I was deeply shaken, because the thing I feared most all along might actually happen.

Han Qianqian was terrifying. We couldn't kill her no matter what we did. Yet, she could easily kill any one of us.

But the reason we could escape from her was that she couldn't leave the school grounds. As long as we escaped the abandoned school, we would be safe.

However, if she could move freely, without geographical limitations, then no one would be able to deal with her.

Li Tongtian also realized this. His arm trembled, and he looked at me, saying, "No matter what, we have to stop this from happening!"

I deeply agreed, but currently, we were helpless and could only place our hopes on Master Du Mo.

For the next few days, Master Du Mo stayed in the abandoned school. Meanwhile, the construction team was preparing for demolition. Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

Lan Lele hadn't contacted me during this period; I didn't know what she was up to.

Only the investigation into Li Yang was still ongoing.

The matter of this young master was easy to investigate. He was the Principal's son. He had just graduated from university and came here to be a Gym Teacher. He had slept with many of the school's "School Flowers," including some female teachers.

Despite his notorious reputation, no one dared to provoke him at school due to his background. It was rumored that he also had connections with people in the underworld.

I wouldn't have paid attention to such a scumbag. But one thing bothered me.

Why would someone like Master Du Mo be involved with them?

Leaning on the table, I chatted aimlessly with Wu Yong. He looked at me and said, "Boss, you don't care about grades at all anymore."

"It doesn't matter. I have money anyway," I said listlessly.

"That's true, but where did your money come from?" Wu Yong asked curiously.

I gave him a cold look and said impatiently, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Let's discuss what to eat tonight."

Wu Yong quickly chuckled and discussed with me where we should go out to play tonight.

These past few days, I've had nothing to do, so I've been taking him out for lavish meals. The amount I've been spending has made my classmates envious. But only I knew that the more I spent, the closer I was to death.

But this also made me wonder, was the money I had given to me by Han Qianqian? Why was she pursuing us while also giving rewards to those who escaped? It was truly strange.

Although there were still many things I didn't understand, after experiencing so much, I had become calm. I only thought about how to escape Han Qianqian's endless pursuit.

At noon, in a private room, I met with Li Tongtian and the others as usual. Lan Lele's eyes lit up when she saw me, and she grabbed my arm, saying, "Hey! Liang Fan, tell me, how are things going?"

"How else could they be? With Master Du Mo at the abandoned school, everything has been peaceful these past few days," I said, rolling my eyes at her.

"Oh, that's much better. I feel relieved as long as that handsome monk is there," Lan Lele said, shaking her head and looking at me slyly. "How have you been lately?"

"Just getting by, barely surviving," I said indifferently.
