Psycho. Ghosts? Whatever.

At this moment, ‘Wang Li’ was unaware of what Bai Yuan was thinking, merely staring at him with resentful eyes.

His emotional state had been highly volatile just moments ago, and his strength had significantly diminished, revealing his true form.

Even now,

He believed that Bai Yuan had acted only because he had failed to pay protection money…

After all, in these times,

Even ghosts couldn’t understand the actions of the mentally disturbed…

Meanwhile, as he looked at Bai Yuan’s calm demeanor, confusion took over.

He had revealed his true form,

Wasn’t Bai Yuan afraid of him?

Especially since over a hundred students were visibly frightened, with some even running away on the spot,

Even the three class teachers, despite having smeared rooster blood on themselves, hesitated to approach and engage,

Bai Yuan, however, stood with his arms crossed, staring intently at the rotten corpse in front of him, and said:

“What? Changing form means you don’t have to pay protection money? Since you have two identities, you need to pay double!”

“??”

The ghost’s brain froze once again,

Was this something a human could say?

“Still hesitating?!”

Seeing that the ghost was in poor condition, Bai Yuan threw another deliberate punch!

Boom!

The Evil Ghost’s body was instantly blasted into room 3028,

By then, it had fully understood that Bai Yuan was not afraid of it at all!

Bai Yuan charged furiously, arriving in front of the Evil Ghost in an instant, his fists already clenched, ready to strike.

Just then, the Evil Ghost let out a piercing scream,

Its eerie power forcibly caused Bai Yuan’s body to pause, leaving him blankly standing still, unable to move,

The Evil Ghost glanced at him resentfully and then turned to flee into the restroom.

After a while, Bai Yuan recovered and followed without hesitation,

“Hmm?”

Bai Yuan looked around, a trace of confusion in his eyes,

The Evil Ghost had just disappeared?!

He surveyed the cramped restroom and eventually his gaze fell on the toilet hole,

That was the only exit he could think of!

He bent down and peered into the toilet hole, but it was pitch black inside, revealing nothing.

At that moment, the warmth in his chest also gradually faded,

“Did it escape?”

A hint of regret appeared in Bai Yuan’s eyes, having thought he could have a feast tonight.

“Bai Yuan, are you alright?”

Just then, Chen Qingli and others walked in, their eyes filled with some concern.

“It’s the ghost that should be worried, not me.”

Bai Yuan shook his head and then sighed,

“Sadly, it got away.”

“As long as you’re unharmed, that’s what matters. Ghosts aren’t so easy to kill anyway.”

Chen Qingli consoled him, “By the way, is your hand alright?”

That ghost clearly belonged to the Cursed Ghost type, and attacking rashly could have left him cursed.

“It wasn’t strong enough to curse me.”

That was why Bai Yuan had directly switched to attack mode.

Now, his understanding of ghosts wasn’t profound; the only criteria he had were whether he could touch a Spirit Ghost or ignore a Cursed Ghost’s curse.

If his first punch had been cursed, it would mean that the opponent was beyond his ability to handle, and Bai Yuan would naturally choose to flee on the spot…

At this moment, the homeroom teacher of Class Two asked, “But student, how did you see through its identity?”

“I’ve been annoyed with Wang Li for a while now!” Bai Yuan shrugged, speaking nonchalantly.

The three teachers were taken aback. Was that really the reason he attacked so decisively?

Bai Yuan, of course, couldn’t reveal it was because of the Ghost Face, so he shifted the topic, “I think the main issue now is, where exactly has he gone?”

The moment he said this, the three exchanged glances, but none spoke up. In their minds, if the ghost dared to brazenly take on Wang Li’s appearance, it meant Wang Li was likely…

“He won’t die!” Bai Yuan asserted confidently, “This ghost isn’t strong enough to kill him!”

Although Bai Yuan had ambushed and beaten the ghost, he was certain its power wasn’t formidable enough to have killed Wang Li.

“Could it be that Instructor Wang was overwhelmed by fear…”

“Unlikely,” Chen Qingli quickly dismissed the idea. He had some understanding of Wang Li. Being appointed as the chief instructor of No. 5 High School by the authorities meant his mental fortitude was solid, making a mishap improbable.

As the four of them discussed, a commotion arose from the first floor below.

“Is there trouble again?” The four exchanged a glance and hurried downstairs.

By now, hundreds of students had gathered in the hotel’s lobby, each filled with panic. Yet, they dared not leave, hesitantly looking towards the outside.

“Still not leaving?” Bai Yuan thought many would have packed up and left by now. After all, with Wang Li gone, they had no reason to stay.

“Bro, you’re finally here! Everyone’s been waiting for you!” As soon as Bai Yuan came down, the crowd surrounded him, as if he were their lifeline.

“Waiting for me? Why?”

“We… don’t dare leave…” It was nighttime, pitch black, and the mountain paths were treacherous. They couldn’t find their way, and if the hotel’s ghost attacked, it would be disastrous.

“Just call for help then.” Bai Yuan glanced at them, suggesting.

“No signal.” They shook their heads. The mountain’s signal was poor, and with supernatural interference, they couldn’t reach the outside world.

Someone suggested, “Bro, why don’t you lead us out?”

“I’m not going.” Bai Yuan didn’t hesitate, instead comfortably lying down on the sofa.

His words changed the crowd’s expressions; some were silent, others resentful. At that moment, a voice from the crowd said sarcastically, “He’s charging protection fees, of course he won’t escort you down for free. Who’d pay him then?”

The crowd’s expressions shifted instantly. They wanted to say something but didn’t dare.

“Even if you paid me, I wouldn’t take you down the mountain,” Bai Yuan said calmly. “There’s only one ghost in the hotel; who knows how many are on the mountain?”

The hotel’s ghost was already injured by him. Why leave an easy target to risk the unknown?

Again, the sarcastic voice chimed in, “But if we stay in the hotel, someone might still die. Isn’t a human life worth considering?”

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes, patiently explaining, “Leaving the hotel puts my life at risk too.”

“This is about hundreds of lives. Isn’t it worth you risking yours?” The moment the words left the speaker’s mouth, Bai Yuan lunged forward, slapping a male student out of the crowd.

The student fell to the ground, fear in his eyes, not expecting Bai Yuan to pinpoint him so accurately.

“What are you doing?!” he exclaimed, clutching his face, feigning ignorance.

Bai Yuan crossed his arms, speaking coolly, “I’ve rescinded your moral coercion and given you a good slap. Any issues with that?”
