Qian Jinyu recalled how she had entered Ming Zhong University not through her grades, but by using money to establish connections, ultimately gaining direct admission.
She remembered the tall, thin man in his fifties who had sat beside the dean. His name was Anxu.
Anxu was now the Director of Education at Ming Zhong University, possessing an unremarkable face that seemed to blend into a crowd, making him almost invisible.
On the surface, he appeared to be someone who could not be associated with words like "despicable."
He often wandered around the entrance of the Department of Political Education, greeting familiar students with a friendly smile. Only when encountering students who had made serious mistakes did he become stern.
"Anxu? Isn't he the director of the school?" Qian Jinyu asked tentatively.
"That bastard! He's nothing but a beast!" The Female Evil Spirit seemed to forget her pain as she spoke in anger.
"Hmph, I can't believe someone like him hasn't been exposed and has managed to reach a position like Director of Education," the Male Evil Spirit said, gritting his teeth against the pain.
"Why do you speak so harshly about him?" Ye Xiu inquired.
"Hmph! They are indeed a bunch of conspirators," the Female Evil Spirit replied.
The Male Evil Spirit fell silent.
Ye Xiu took out a Silver Needle again, gripping it tightly as he slowly reached toward the Female Evil Spirit.
The Female Evil Spirit stumbled backward, while the Male Evil Spirit moved to shield her.
Ye Xiu said little as he pressed the Silver Needle into the body of the Male Evil Spirit.
The expression on the Female Evil Spirit's face was one of utter despair.
The Male Evil Spirit's demeanor turned fierce as he launched an attack at Ye Xiu, preparing for a final counterattack before his demise.
Yet, Ye Xiu showed no intention of dodging.
Qian Jinyu, Zhao Wentong, and Xie Bei watched Ye Xiu with confusion.
Suddenly, the Male Evil Spirit halted, failing to strike Ye Xiu.
Everyone's expressions shifted to surprise.
"Why did you save me?" the Male Evil Spirit asked.
"Because I have two questions to ask you!" Ye Xiu replied.
"You’re betting that I’m an ungrateful person, aren’t you?"
"I wouldn’t gamble my life. You’ve already been struck by my needle, your strength has greatly diminished, and at this close range, I could take your life at any moment! So, I’m simply sparing your life."
"…"
The Female Evil Spirit looked at Ye Xiu in astonishment.
Ye Xiu extended his hand and inserted a few more needles into the body of the Female Evil Spirit.
The pain in the body vanished in an instant, replaced by a sense of comfort.
Master Zuo's Seven Needles could save spirits or kill them; the life and death of the other party rested entirely in Ye Xiu's hands.
"First, tell me about your situation," Ye Xiu said.
The Female Evil Spirit lowered her head.
The Male Evil Spirit glanced over and spoke, "My name is Chang Hao, and this is Lin Baihui. We died thirty years ago in this Abandoned Laboratory."
Qian Jinyu suddenly interjected, "Thirty years ago! Ming Zhong University had a major tragedy back then; too many people died!"
"I heard it from my family," Qian Jinyu added.
Ye Xiu and Xie Bei shot a glare at Qian Fatty, then turned to Chang Hao, signaling him to continue. Zhao Wentong sat on the ground, showing no interest.
"Thirty years ago..." Chang Hao began calmly.
Thirty years prior, Ming Zhong University was vibrant, centered around this Abandoned Laboratory. At that time, Lin Baihui was the campus belle, and Chang Hao was one of her many admirers. As graduation approached, Chang Hao finally won over his goddess, Lin Baihui. The two were deeply in love.
One day, Lin Baihui invited Chang Hao to conduct an experiment at the Abandoned Laboratory. Before Chang Hao arrived, Lin Baihui was already in a private lab when Anxu, who had been stalking her for a long time, entered the lab, locked the door behind him, and assaulted Lin Baihui...
When Chang Hao finally arrived, he was met with a scene that drove him to madness.
Lin Baihui's remaining clothing was tattered; her hair was disheveled, her body covered in red scratch marks, and there were traces of blood at the corner of her mouth...
Seeing such a sight sent Chang Hao into a frenzy. He couldn't get any answers from her and ended up brandishing a knife at anyone who approached the lab door.
At that time, Anxu was just a teacher who left after committing a crime.
Just as Chang Hao was attacking, a great fire broke out all over Ming Zhong University, with the flames in the Abandoned Laboratory being the most intense.
In the end, Chang Hao, Lin Baihui, and many classmates perished in the fire.
The tragedy that occurred thirty years ago led to the deaths of too many students. Eventually, the police captured a group of antisocial criminals who were deemed responsible for the incident.
Long after the tragedy, the school recovered from its grief and renovated the Abandoned Laboratory; however, it continued to be haunted.
Eventually, a headless ghost appeared in the White Laboratory Building and killed three people in front of numerous students, causing everyone to flee in panic. After discussions among the school authorities, it was decided that the Abandoned Laboratory would remain as it was, preserving the chaotic scene left by the fleeing students.
Many feng shui masters and self-proclaimed ghost hunters came to investigate over time, but none managed to stay without being frightened away.
After an unknown period, Chang Hao and Lin Baihui regained consciousness and became ghosts. After their deaths, they finally remained together as a pair of ghostly lovers.
"I guess the person who set the fire must have been Anxu!" Qian Fatty concluded after hearing the reasoning.
"On the surface, he seems harmless, yet he turned out to be so sinister! Who knows what other bad deeds he has done!" Zhao Wentong weakly remarked, showing little interest.
Having absorbed so much yang energy, Zhao Wentong clearly had not fully recovered and appeared particularly weak.
"Why don't you two reincarnate?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Reincarnate? We won't do that; at least now we can be together forever," Lin Baihui replied.
"Even if we wanted to reincarnate, we couldn't leave this Abandoned Laboratory," Chang Hao added.
"Why?"
"Until the hatred dissipates, we can only stay here. The source of our hatred is Anxu! As long as he is alive!" Chang Hao said with bitterness.
"I will help you investigate this matter. Now, answer my second question!" Ye Xiu replied.
"Why would you rather endure my Silver Needle than take a step over there?" Ye Xiu pointed to the staircase leading to the second floor.
"This..." Lin Baihui hesitated.
"I feel that you are different from those ghost hunters. It’s fine to tell you," Chang Hao said to Ye Xiu.
"This Abandoned Laboratory has gathered countless ghosts over the past thirty years. The Demons grow stronger with each layer, and at the very top, there is an incredible presence, almost like a god! The reason we have never stepped forward is due to the rules set by that powerful figure on the top floor! Ghosts kill each other layer by layer; we can only ascend, not descend. The second floor is filled with countless beings like us. If we take a few more steps, those Demons will swarm us. But for some reason, the Demons on the second floor seem to lack awareness, almost like Puppets."
Ye Xiu carefully noted Chang Hao's words, as if foreseeing that he would return here in the future!
