Chapter 467
C467 – After the Matter Had Fermented
No murder weapon was found in the vicinity.
Before long, numerous individuals were brought in for questioning.
A tip from someone in the know revealed crucial information.
Last night, just past midnight, the sound of a piano echoed through the air. Driven by curiosity, Zhou Jie and his companions covertly scaled the dormitory fence to investigate the piano room.
They never returned.
Upon arriving at school early in the morning, Jiang Hao was met with rampant speculation.
“Do you think Zhou Jie and the others met their end at the hands of a ghost?”
“If they hadn’t courted danger, they’d still be alive. What more is there to discuss?”
“The piano playing at midnight… does that sound like the work of a living soul to you?”
“Hush, enough! Are you trying to get yourselves killed? Should we even be speaking of such things?”
……
In the midst of the whispers, Jiang Hao’s phone began to ring.
He pulled it out to find Yang Xiaoxiao calling.
As soon as Jiang Hao answered, Yang Xiaoxiao’s voice, laced with urgency, came through.
“Brother Hao, where are you?”
“I’ve just arrived at school, standing by the entrance to Building One. What’s going on?”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiao quickly responded.
“Brother Hao, wait for us. Old Zhang and I are on our way to you right now!”
With that, Yang Xiaoxiao abruptly ended the call.
Back in dorm 333, Yang Xiaoxiao implored Zhang Daoqian with a heartfelt plea.
“Old Zhang, I consider you a brother, that’s why I’m involving you. Please don’t take my good intentions for granted.”
A flicker of emotion crossed Zhang Daoqian’s eyes, leaving him no choice but to agree, albeit reluctantly.
“Fine, fine. Just let me get dressed first.”
Yang Xiaoxiao had shared the ghostly happenings at school with his father, who insisted he come home immediately to meet a revered monk, a master of spiritual protection.
Yet Yang Xiaoxiao couldn’t stand the thought of leaving his friends, Zhang Daoqian and Jiang Hao, behind and was determined to take them with him.
What Yang Xiaoxiao didn’t realize was that Zhang Daoqian had witnessed the ghost firsthand and was acutely aware of its frightful nature.
He had no expectations for the enlightened monk Father Yang spoke of, so he wasn’t keen on wasting time.
But while he was aware, Yang Xiaoxiao remained in the dark.
Given Yang Xiaoxiao’s earnestness, he couldn’t just ignore her plea, so he reluctantly agreed.
They quickly made their way to the First Cult and rendezvoused with Jiang Hao.
Upon encountering Zhang Daoqian once more, Jiang Hao couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about him, though he couldn’t pinpoint what.
Yang Xiaoxiao recounted the entire situation to Jiang Hao and ultimately extended an invitation for him to join them.
Even though Jiang Hao was known for his unparalleled martial skills, whether those could subdue ghosts was another matter—one he wasn’t sure about.
But he owed Jiang Hao a debt of gratitude, and he intended to repay it.
Jiang Hao’s respect for Yang Xiaoxiao grew after hearing the story. He was also intrigued by the notion of ghosts appearing in a school.
The resurgence of spiritual energy had indeed led to the emergence of ghosts, but they weren’t supposed to manifest just anywhere, especially not in schools, which were off-limits to such entities.
Government buildings were also no-go zones for them.
Yet, this particular ghost had not only shown up at school but also seemed to be coexisting peacefully, which was quite peculiar.
“Brother Hao, we should hurry. My dad’s waiting for me!” Yang Xiaoxiao, noticing Jiang Hao’s distraction, urged him with a sense of urgency.
Jiang Hao snapped out of his reverie, looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, and responded,
“Xiaoxiao, I appreciate it!”
“But there’s no need for me to come along. You and Old Zhang can handle it.”
“Besides, your dad wouldn’t be too pleased with a whole crowd of us tagging along.”
