Lu Sheng thought that a sc.u.mbag had caused trouble again. She did not expect her to fall to her death.
“A few days ago, a few students came here to invite the Pen Spirit. They invited you, right?” Chu Sihan asked faintly.
The woman nodded. “It’s me.”
Chu Sihan continued, “After they returned, they gradually fell sick. They must have lost their souls here.”
The woman’s expression changed slightly and she said coldly, “Everyone doesn’t like to be disturbed. It was difficult for this place to regain its peace. I just gave them a small lesson.”
“If their souls leave their bodies for too long, they will become weaker. If we don’t return their souls earlier, their souls will fade. If we’re not careful, their souls might never be able to return to them.”
Chu Sihan’s expression remained indifferent.
Even so, the woman was still afraid of him.
Lu Sheng also persuaded, “Miss, put their souls back earlier. They’re just a few insensible children. There’s no need to bicker.”
“I know.” The woman nodded. “However, if we don’t teach them a lesson, I’m afraid more curious people will come and disturb everyone in the future.”
“Leave this to us,” Lu Sheng said lightly. “I promise that no one will disturb you again.”
The woman looked at her and said, “I hope you can keep your word!”
“Definitely.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “There’s nothing else. Go back.”
“Goodbye, Lords!”
The ghosts bowed.
The duo nodded slightly and left.
a.s.sistant Chen’s face was a little pale and he was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
“You saw everything?” Lu Sheng asked faintly.
“I…”
a.s.sistant Chen lowered his head guiltily.
Although he was afraid back then, he could not suppress his curiosity.
Hence, after leaving, he returned to see what Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng were doing.
Unexpectedly, when he returned and saw the huge patch of black, he was instantly scared silly.
If not for Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan standing there, he would have screamed in fear.
When the three of them returned to Princ.i.p.al Liao’s office, Princ.i.p.al Liao happened to send the guests away.
Seeing their return, he hurriedly asked, “How’s it going?”
“Princ.i.p.al, there… there are ghosts!”
a.s.sistant Chen broke out in cold sweat and said, “There were really ghosts in that old dormitory. There were hundreds of them.”
“Really?” Princ.i.p.al Liao questioned. “You saw them?”
a.s.sistant Chen nodded frantically. “Yes!”
Princ.i.p.al Liao frowned slightly and hurriedly looked at Chu Sihan. “Chu Yan, is what he said true?”
Chu Sihan nodded. “Yes.”
Princ.i.p.al Liao had seen Chu Yan before and knew that he was a man of his words. He would not lie casually.
In that case, was it true that there were ghosts there previously?
“Then… Can’t we get rid of them?” Princ.i.p.al Liao asked.
“No,” Lu Sheng said lightly. “That’s their territory. If you continue to work there, you might end up causing more trouble in the future.”
“What should we do?” Princ.i.p.al Liao frowned. “I’ve just agreed with the investor to build a new library there.”
Lu Sheng said, “I suggest we seal off that place and set it as a forbidden land. If you continue to work and suffer retribution, don’t blame us for not reminding you.”
Seeing that Lu Sheng seemed to be telling the truth, Princ.i.p.al Liao remembered what Chu Hongzhong said and could not help but s.h.i.+ver.
