Chapter 174: The Missing Female Student

　　Hearing this, Lu Fei immediately asked, "Was that missing female student pregnant?"

　　"That, I don't know. I remember she disappeared suddenly after an evening study session and didn't tell anyone where she was going."

　　Gathering his courage, Principal Qin took a cautious look into the deep pit and saw the curled-up skeleton, making his face even more pale.

　　"Three days later, her dormitory classmates finally told the teacher that she was missing."

　　"The school immediately reported it to the police. Teachers, students, and the police searched for a long time but couldn't find her. In the end, they had no choice but to give up."

　　"What about her family? Didn't they look for her?" Lu Fei asked in confusion.

　　"She was a poor child from a remote mountainous area. She worked hard to get into university and supported herself through part-time jobs."

　　Principal Qin adjusted his glasses and sighed.

　　"Her parents were always in the village and only found out about the incident when the school notified them."

　　"The elderly couple rushed over, their child neither found alive nor dead, and they cried bitterly, calling out to heaven and earth."

　　"In the end, the school compensated with a large sum of money, and they didn't say anything more...Our school bears an inescapable responsibility, after all, how can money compare to a life?"

　　Principal Qin showed a pained expression.

　　"Lu, do you think these bones belong to the missing girl?"

　　"I'm just guessing, but the yin fetus might be the child in the pregnant woman's womb," Lu Fei said. "The pregnant woman died before giving birth, and as mother and child were one, their resentment was inherently stronger compared to other wrongful deaths."

　　"I never imagined the truth would be like this," Principal Qin said with a complex expression. "To confirm the identity of these bones, we have to report it to the police for an examination."

　　"That's for sure, and we need to get the remains removed as soon as possible," Lu Fei added. "But, Principal, I need to come back tonight again."

　　"Isn't the problem already solved? Why do you need to come back?" Principal Qin asked, confused.

　　"The yin fetus is dealt with, but the ghosts in the dormitory building are not yet eliminated. We can't leave any隐患."陆非笑了笑.

"而且,郭海涛的执念是报仇."

"陆非也不确定,他的报仇对象是阴胎,还是害死他的厉鬼."

"总之,不能放过."

"陆同学,你真是一个负责任的好同学!"秦校长又感激又佩服地拍了拍陆非的肩膀,"我以前怎么不知道,学校还有你这么好的学生!"

"江大是我的母校,为母校做点事是应该的."陆非表面说的好听,心里想的却是我以前成绩普普通通,你能注意到我才怪了.

""hidden dangers. I shouldn't leave any behind," Lu Fei replied with a smile.

　　And Guo Haitao's obsession is revenge.

　　Lu Fei wasn't sure whether his target for revenge was the yin fetus or the malevolent ghost that killed him.

　　In any case, we can't let it go.

　　"Mr. Lu, you are truly a responsible and good student!" Principal Qin patted Lu Fei's shoulder, both grateful and admiring. "I had no idea our school had such a good student like you!"

　　"Jiang University is my alma mater; it's only right to do something for it," Lu Fei said, though inwardly he thought, 'With my average grades in the past, there's no way you would have noticed me.'

　　Principal Qin praised him lavishly before calling the police.

　　Duan Tiankui's gaze at Lu Fei was also full of appreciation.

　　"Little Lu, you are far more capable than your grandfather. He is too reclusive and cold. Given time, you will surely surpass him in achievement."

　　"Yes, Brother Lu Fei, you are really amazing," Duan Lingyue said, hugging her grandfather's arm and looking up at Lu Fei with large, adoring eyes.

　　"Grandfather Duan is being too kind, I still have a long way to go before I can match my grandfather," Lu Fei replied.

　　Lu Fei looked at the close-knit grandfather and granddaughter, feeling a tinge of envy in his heart.

　　But he did not show it and quickly shrugged off the feeling, for he believed his grandfather would definitely return.

　　Soon after.

　　The police arrived.

　　"We accidentally found this skeleton in the old campus. It might be a female student who went missing a while ago...." Principal Qin briefly explained the situation to the police, asking them to identify the deceased as soon as possible.

　　"Don't worry, Principal Qin, we will do it as soon as possible." The police took all the remains away.

　　It was still early before sunset, and everyone temporarily left the old school campus.

　　Principal Qin was very enthusiastic and offered to treat everyone to a meal.

　　Lu Fei felt embarrassed to have the principal pay for a big meal, so he suggested that there was a great spicy hot pot place outside the school that they could try.

　　Since he was the main hero in the elimination of the yin fetus, the others also didn't feel right to refuse.

　　The group, including the principal, the monk, and the Taoist priest, walked into the small spicy hot pot restaurant, which surprised the owner.

　　"Principal, if you are not used to it, you can order something else."

　　"It's okay, I can eat it. Sometimes, it's good to change the taste and try these snacks."

　　Although Principal Qin couldn't handle spicy food, to accompany Lu Fei, he managed to finish his meal with a runny nose and tears.

　　His mouth turned a bright red ring.

　　Lu Fei wanted to laugh but felt too shy to do so.

　　Back in school, he would always take a detour whenever he saw teachers and school leaders. He never imagined that they could have such a cute side.

　　Tianyuan and Duan Tiankui clearly couldn't handle spicy food, so they only had a small taste.

　　Duan Lingyue loved it; normally, her grandfather never allowed her to eat these 'junk foods' outside. With Lu Fei around today, her grandfather couldn't say no, and she could enjoy herself thoroughly.

　　Surprisingly, Kudeng, the chubby monk with a big round face, didn't seem to mind eating both meat and vegetables, savoring his meal with great relish.

　　This made one wonder if he was really a true monk.

　　After the meal, everyone stayed in the principal's office to drink tea and rest.

　　Principal Qin specially took out some of his best tea, which he had been keeping at the bottom of his chest.

　　"Student Lu, you still need to deal with the ghost in the dormitory tonight. You should take the time to rest well now. After this experience, I've seen for myself how dangerous and terrifying these evil spirits can be."

　　"Don't worry, Principal. Without the Yin fetus, the ghost will be much easier to handle. Since Master Tianyuan and Master Kudeng are seriously injured, let them rest. I can go alone tonight..."

　　Lu Fei smelled the tea and gazed out at the school campus beyond the window, feeling momentarily dazed.

　　Outside the window was the past.

　　Inside the window was the present.

　　Drinking tea, socializing.

　　How long had it been since he left the campus, and now he was an adult capable of having tea and discussing matters with the principal...

　　Time flew by.

　　Night fell.

　　Without the ghostly presence, the haunted building no longer exuded a chilling aura, and it quietly curled up in the darkness like a soulless shell.

　　It had become just another ordinary abandoned old building.

　　The faint light of a flashlight flickered on.

　　Lu Fei and Hu Zi stepped over the withered creeping vines and entered the building once again.

　　He made up an excuse to get rid of Tian Yuan and Ku Deng; the matter of him being able to obtain meritorious power could not be known by outsiders.

　　The 404 dormitory was empty.

　　Lu Fei took Hu Zi directly to the rooftop.

　　The wind was still strong.

　　But there was much less of the cold and eerie feeling.

　　The ordinary, dark red ring box was quietly placed by the edge of the building.

　　Lu Fei walked over and picked it up.

　　The ring was still inside.

　　Then.

　　A cold, chilling wind blew, swirling the withered leaves on the rooftop.

　　The pale figure of the female ghost slowly emerged, her pitch-black hair reaching down to her ankles, and her stomach covered in hideous wounds.

　　"Sh*t, this female ghost is really still here!"

　　Hu Zi immediately raised his ghost-headed broadsword, holding it defensively across his chest.

　　The female ghost's hollow eyes fixed on them unblinkingly.

　　"Are you his friends?"

　　"That's right." Lu Fei nodded calmly, "Did you kill him?"

　　"I did! Don't you want to avenge him?"

　　The female ghost gave a cold laugh, suddenly revealing a malevolent expression as she lunged at them with bared fangs and outstretched claws.
