Nightmare Assault

“Sir.” Feng Lan widened her eyes at Jiang Cheng’s camera, “What are you…”

“Who allowed you to take pictures?!” The leading guard shouted loudly. She huffed as she headed to the door. She clearly suspected Jiang Cheng wanted to use the picture to make a big deal out of this. She had seen similar news before.

She was about as large as Fatty. If they really bought, the three female guards could take down the whole group. As the female guard stepped out of the office, Jiang Cheng raised the camera and then erased the picture before her eyes.

The woman was startled, surprised that the man was quite understanding.

“It’s all a misunderstanding.” Zhen Jianren was the first to speak. He relaxed when he saw the woman leave the office, “My friend was just lost.” He asked directly, “Was anything missing from the rooms?”

The woman turned back to glance at Luo Yi. She thought about it and said, “No.”

Zhen Jianren followed it up, “Since nothing is missing, how can he be a thief?”

Another woman walked over. She was thinner than the leader but more muscular. She had a baton around her waist. Her voice was rough. “We don’t wish to make this a big deal. This is our superior’s intention.” The woman sighed helplessly.

“Which superior?” Xu Wen suddenly asked.

The woman hesitated. In the end, she felt like it was fine to reveal the information. “It’s Director Lee.”

“Director Lee is our educational admin director.” Feng Lan looked surprised as she explained the situation, “She has been with the school for many years. I hear she is crucial to the school’s development. Her words are very influential here.”

Director Lee… Everyone remembered this name. She sounded like another important NPC.

“Where is Director Lee?”

“She is not here,” The leading guard answered.

“But we wish to bring our friend with us.” Zhen Jianren bowed kindly. He looked at the woman, “We’re invited by the school to shoot the anniversary. There is a rehearsal this afternoon. I don’t want to create any unnecessary complication due to this delay.”

“This…” The female guards looked pressed. She knew about the anniversary. The school had an anniversary every decade. It was very important. All the leaders of the school would attend it. They couldn’t bear the consequences if they delayed such a huge event. However, it was Director Lee’s orders for them to handle this transgression seriously.

Feng Lan saw the difficulty faced by the guards, so she said, “How about this? Let him go so he can attend the shoot. If you can find actual evidence to prove that he’s a thief, you can come to detain him.”

“What if he runs away?” The last guard said darkly.

“I’ll keep an eye on him,” Feng Lan promised.

After some contemplation, the female guards agreed.

“Then, we’ll have to trouble you,” The leading guard said, “Teacher Feng.”

Then, she waved at Luo Yi, allowing him to leave. Luo Yi rushed to the group’s side. After Zhen Jianren thanked the guards, the group quickly left. Zhang Yinyin stayed back on her own. She walked very slowly. When she was far from the group, she swiftly took out a small thing from her pyjamas. It was a small mirror. The mirror was irregular and had sharp edged. It looked more like a shard from a bigger mirror. She raised the mirror and observed the female guards inside the office through the reflection.

Soon…

She sighed slightly. Thankfully, the things that she worried about didn’t happen. As she was about to put the mirror away, she caught something from the corner of her eyes.

In the mirror, there was a giant face. The giant face slowly approached to dominate the whole mirror!

The scariest thing was the face’s jaw was hanging open!

She screamed. With a tremble, the mirror fell to the ground and shattered.

Jiang Cheng, who stood behind her, closed his mouth. He scratched his chin and said with dissatisfaction, “Miss Zhang, I just wanted to borrow your mirror to study the back of my throat. I think it’s burning up because I’m entering puberty, but…”

Before Jiang Cheng finished, the rest of the group came back.

Xu Wen stared at Jiang Cheng and Zhang Yinyin. Then, she focused on the startled latter.

“What happened?” Xu Wen asked coldly.

“No…nothing…” Zhang Yinyin shivered.

“Then, why did you scream?”

Zhou Taifu already had issues with Zhang Yinyin. Her sudden scream almost caused him to fall down the stairs.

“Alright.” Jiang Cheng actively helped Zhang Yinyin. “Miss Zhang didn’t mean to do it. She was too unsettled. Don’t blame her.”

At that moment, someone noticed the glinty shards on the ground. Some people frowned.

Feng Lan glanced at her watch and exclaimed, “It’s already 2.10 pm!”

The rehearsal was the main mission. No one dared to be late. They ran to the music classroom on the fourth floor. Even though there was only one-floor difference between them, the office and the music classroom were located at opposite ends of the building. They sounded closer than they were.

When they reached the door, there were already students from the student council waiting for them. When they saw Feng Lan, they sighed.

“Teacher Feng,” A girl with round-rimmed glasses ran over, “We’re just waiting for you. Teacher Wu said they had already tested the equipment. We can start at any moment.” She spoke quickly. They were running out of time. She groused, “Teacher Wu has complained multiple times already.”

“You can tell everyone that we’re here. We can start in five minutes.”

The girl nodded and entered through the door.

“I’ll check on the other teams and compare the name lists.” Feng Lan turned to tell Xu Wen. She had a good impression of the woman. Xu Wen was pretty but not in a way that would threaten other women. She looked calm and reliable but was not talkative.

“Okay.” Xu Wen nodded expressionlessly.

Feng Lan prepared to leave. After she took a few steps, she turned to look at Luo Yi like she had something to say. However, she said nothing.

After Feng Lan left, everyone turned their gazes consciously and subconsciously to Luo Yi.

It was not a coincidence that she was caught.

The education admin director probably was related to the ghost.

However… everyone was most concerned about…

What did Luo Yi find out?

Had he figured out the ghost’s identity or the truth behind her death?
