章節 68: Ghost Hunting Time!
The previous day...
Ren Zhao swiped off the sweat on his forehead as the entire van shook with all of its passengers, himself included.
He looked around, relieved that all of their equipment stayed put, although he couldn't be too sure since it was too dark.
"Aiya, summer heat is really intense these days." In front of him sat another man. He had spiked hair and wore a tank top because of the weather being so gosh darn hot.
"You okay back there?" A female voice sounded out from in front.
"We're fine, Princess Yilun." Ren Zhao retorted.
"What do you mean princess! You were offered to sit in front but both of you decided to give it to me instead!" Jiang Yilun pouted her lips.
"Yeah, we did that, aren't you grateful?" This time, the man in the tank top spoke.
"I am grateful, thank you very much! Hmph." Jiang YIlun decided not to talk to those two for the time being.
"Haah, this is what I get for being courteous." The man in the tank top sighed deeply.
Ren Zhao shook his head. "You're being entitled again, Brother Gao."
Gao Xiandao snorted when he heard Ren Zhao. "Hey, what do you mean? You need to return kindness with kindness! And I went out of my way to sit in this dark cramped space, with you..."
"Ah, but it's not as if she asked for you to inconvenience yourself for her anyway." Ren Zhao contemplated for a bit. "...or is it because if you took the offer, I'd be alone back here with Yilun?"
Seeing the teasing smile on Ren Zhao's face made Gao Xiandao flustered. "Who'd want to be alone with her? Huh?!"
"Just think about it, Brother Gao. She would be really sweaty same as us, panting because of the heat. She'd take off her clothes..."
Just as Gao Xiandao was being immersed in his imagination, Jiang Yilun interrupted both of them. "You know I can hear you guys, right?"
"Ah, really sorry we disturbed you, your highness."
"Ren Zhao with his quick comebacks, as usual. Haha!" Gao Xiandao was back to his normal cheerful self.
A few hours later.
The two men in the back of the van were sweating buckets, even with the A/C at full force.
"Ah, I'm starting to regret our decision." Gao Xiandao muttered, all of his energy drained by the hot atmosphere.
"Even then, Brother Gao, it's too late to back out now. Besides, this is the only time we'll be doing this. For me, at least."
"Ahhh, we really didn't need to do this though! Just to prove a few viewers wrong, so what!" Gao Xiandao had a hateful gaze.
Hearing him, Jiang Yilun thought about what led them to make this decision in the first place.
They were the Ghost Hunting Crew, famous on TV for visiting supposedly haunted places like mansions and abandoned hospitals and taking care of the ghosts that resided in those places.
Of course, the three of them really could see ghosts and were feeling proud of their achievements of exorcism.
However, some of the viewers criticized them for only visiting famous haunted places. They were also called out for only going to the venues at night, even though they themselves claimed that ghosts did not care about the day cycle.
And so, this time, they decided to respond to the request of a random viewer who claimed that there were ghosts in his school.
Not only would they disprove those bunch that criticized them for mundane things, they would also prove that they listened to their viewers by directly responding to one.
It was like two birds, no, three, wait... multiple birds with one stone.
And yet, as the three went on this trip to the countryside, they found out that the rock hit multiple birds simply because the rock was just that big. And heavy.
"Ah, at least I get to visit my family." Ren Zhao had not come back to his home in a long time, probably less than two years ago, right after the young master was sent to the countryside. "Hey? Young Master Lan would also be there, huh... I wonder if I'll be able to meet him."
And so, the crew eventually arrived at their destination: a hotel. No, this would not be the place they would film in, but rather a place to sleep and rest.
.....
Back to the present.
Ren Zhao walked through the hallway, pushing his bangs away from his face.
"Aiya, Ren Zhao, it looks like everyone's admiring your looks again." Jiang Yilun, who had a humble appearance, didn't look as dazzling as either Gao Xiandao or Ren Zhao. That was why she felt envious of the looks of admiration that both of them got. Under her breath, she muttered, "Unlike me, no one likes me..."
Gao Xiandao fiercely coughed, same with Ren Zhao. They took a look at Jiang Yilun's oblivious face. Ah, so cute...
They took their gazes off her and proceeded to follow their guide.
Eventually, the three came across a particularly congested hallway. It looked like the door was locked, while all of the students were made to stay in front.
Ren Zhao took a glance at the massive clump of students waiting in the hallway. "...!"
He saw a familiar face, squirming along with the rest of the kids. It was his sister, Ren Weiwei!
Well, he had no time to greet her now, as it was time for work.
"Wait a minute, was she talking to... a guy?!?"
Older brother alert: triggered.
Right before he could approach her, Gao Xiandao pushed him in the now opened classroom.
As soon as Luo Zi Da entered, he shut the room behind him.
Inside the classroom were five people: Ren Zhao, Gao Xiandao, Jiang Yilun, Luo Zi Da, and the cameraman.
Luo Zi Da spoke first. "This is the place."
Ren Zhao nodded as he activated the device in his hands. It seemed to be a detection device based on temperature.
He waved it everywhere, but nothing happened. All of a sudden, the temperature on the display dropped to sub-zero but went back up again once he moved away from that spot.
"Right here." Ren Zhao pointed it once more to the remote corner.
"Ah, that's the bespectacled student's seat... I forgot his name."
Jiang Yilun approached the spot. She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes as she spouted a bunch of words. "Anger, hatred, envy, jealousy... Lust??"
"Yowch. Seems like whoever is sitting here has been producing a lot of negative emotions." Gao Xiandao pointed his device to the remote corner. "And it's a particularly high energy value too. Look."
"!!!" When Ren Zhao saw the number, he almost let out a gasp.
Jiang Yilun widened her eyes as well. "It's over 9...!"
Luo Zi Da scratched his head. "Um, what does this mean?"
"The number on the ghost energy scale represents how powerful the ghost can be if it decides to go hostile. The highest this device can go is 20, but any number higher than 5 means that the ghosts can become tangible and interact with objects.
Luckily for us, the ghost is dormant right now and so will be easy to take care of. Otherwise, we would have a huge fight on our hands."
Gao Xiandao displayed all of his professional knowledge to Luo Zi Da, and more specifically, the audience behind the camera.
Jiang Yilun grabbed what looked like a night-vision camera out of her backpack, and took a picture of the remote corner. When the image showed up on the screen, she flinched. "Gross, bleh."
"One thing I want to know is that... how hostile is the environment in your classroom to be the birthplace of such a powerful spirit?" Ren Zhao interrupted.
The cameraman licked his lips. Things were getting juicy, he could almost hear the sound effects once the editor got his hands on the footage.
Ren Zhao was particularly concerned, in part because his sister seemed to be part of this class.
Jiang Yilun showed the picture of the ghost to Luo Zi Da, who flinched as well.
"Ah? My students created this vile ghost?" He couldn't really believe it.
"Well, judging from the different emotions of the ghost, it's certainly not just one person. It might be the whole class, but it's most likely just a select few that harbor such negative feelings that they manifested into a ghost." Jiang Yilun analyzed the ghost.
Luo Zi Da scrambled his head for answers.
"Hmm... is there anyone that sits here? In this chair?" Ren Zhao pointed at the lone wooden chair in the obscure corner of the classroom.
"Ah, yeah, I mentioned earlier, this is the bespectacled student's seat. His name is..."
