Although they had caught two ghost dolls, the current situation was far from optimistic.
The principal had entered a berserk mode and had sealed off the entire kindergarten.
"Where is all this heavy yin energy coming from? Could it be that there are other issues with this kindergarten?"
Lu Fei supported Jing Jian, moving around in circles with the principal as quietly as possible.
In this situation, they either had to wait until dawn or find a way to pacify the principal once and for all.
However, with Jing Jian injured, the second option seemed improbable.
At this moment, the principal's hearing seemed even more acute, and even the slightest sound attracted his attention, causing him to instantly charge toward it.
The long ruler left shocking marks on the ground as it dragged along.
Lu Fei breathed carefully, trying to calm his heartbeat.
On Jing Jian's back was a long scar. Because he didn't have time to use his inner energy to heal the wound, the yin energy had invaded his body, leaving him pale and cold, starting to tremble uncontrollably.
The situation became increasingly difficult.
"If this continues, Brother Jing won't be able to hold on. We need to find a place to hide."
Lu Fei picked up a few pebbles and threw them hard into the distance, using the distraction to quickly guide Jing Jian back to the classroom.
There were not many places that could hide two adults.
Let's try the teacher's office!
After circling the kindergarten so many times, Lu Fei was very familiar with the layout and soon found the direction of the office.
But at the same time, the principal's angry roars followed close behind.
His reaction was even faster than before!
Lu Fei and Jing Jian exchanged glances, trying to tread as lightly as possible.
The ruler seemed like a large knife being dragged rapidly across the floor, getting closer and closer to the two of them.
Lu Fei threw a small pebble into the adjacent classroom, then stood motionless with Jing Jian, their backs against the wall.
They held their breath.
Whoosh!
The principal rushed into the classroom like a sharp hurricane, causing an immediate uproar as if from a fierce bombardment.
Lu Fei immediately supported Jing Jian, turning into a nearby corridor and pushing open the door to the office.
He looked around.
They hid under a desk.
"Brother Jing, quickly use your energy to heal!" Lu Fei gestured to Jing Jian.
Jing Jian nodded, endured the pain as he sat cross-legged, mobilizing his remaining magic power, and striving to expel the Yin energy from his body.
Lu Fei gripped the thunderstruck wood, watchfully looking towards the door.
The sounds of the principal passing by outside came from time to time, making their hearts race with fear.
The little black dog had been hiding in the backpack, not even daring to breathe loudly.
For some reason, at this very moment, Lu Fei suddenly thought of the children in the kindergarten.
Do they live in constant fear, always hiding from the principal like this?
No wonder the ghost dolls have such excellent hiding skills; they probably developed them this way.
Thinking of this,
Lu Fei took out the cloth doll and looked at it.
It was most likely hand-sewn, quite rough, with crooked stitches, and the fabric was somewhat old.
To be honest, it's not cute at all.
At this moment, there are still charred marks from being struck by lightning, which make it even uglier.
Fortunately, we caught these evil creatures. Tonight has not been in vain. All we need to do now is to safely make it through until dawn.
Since Jing Jian is injured, his safety is the top priority. There's no rush to deal with the principal.
At worst, we can find some more helpers once we get out of here.
The principal is so powerful; it seems it's not just because of the heavy resentment. There must be other reasons.
If we don't figure it out, it will be very difficult to handle.
Lu Fei lowered his head in thought.
He couldn't see any major problem with the feng shui of the kindergarten, so where did such a heavy concentration of Yin energy come from?
Could it be human-made?
He suddenly thought of the Fu Lu dolls in the secret chamber, wondering why the golden boy and jade girl, which were meant to be burial objects, would appear in a kindergarten. Could it be that someone had set something up here...
There was no movement in the office. After pacing outside for a while, the sound of the ruler scraping against the ground, which was terrifying, gradually faded away.
Lu Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Jing Jian again.
Jing Jian was drenched in cold sweat, wisps of white vapor rising from the top of his head as the yin energy was being expelled smoothly. As long as there was no disturbance, there should not be any major problem.
Lu Fei felt a little more at ease and took out his phone to check the time.
At this moment, it had just passed midnight.
There were still at least four or five hours before dawn, making for a long night ahead.
He gave a bitter smile.
Suddenly, the small body of the ghost doll in his hand trembled, and its button-made eyes snapped open, regaining consciousness.
Upon discovering that they were bound by red strings, they immediately began to struggle fiercely, making subtle noises.
"Quiet!"
Worried about attracting the attention of the director, Lu Fei immediately raised his finger, but the ghost dolls didn't listen to him at all and were determined to break free from their restraints.
In a panic, he thought of the song he had saved during the day, and simply turned on his phone, playing it at the lowest volume.
"The dark sky hangs low."
"Bright stars follow..."
When the dolls heard the first line, their bodies suddenly stiffened, their eyes and mouths widening in disbelief as if they had heard the most incredible sound.
But Lu Fei quickly cut off the sound, his expression stern.
"If you want to hear more, keep quiet! If the director comes, no one will survive!"
The two dolls glared at him resentfully, their mouths straightening into a line, but they finally remained silent.
It worked!
Aunt Liang was right; this song can soothe them.
Lu Fei felt a slight relief in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, maintaining a serious expression.
Then, he listened for a moment to the sounds outside the office. The principal should not have arrived yet, so he put the two dolls into his pocket.
Dealing with these two evil objects, there is no moment for relaxation.
He wiped his sweat and, after resting for a few seconds, noticed that the entire kindergarten was unusually quiet.
There was not a sound inside or outside.
"Why is the principal so quiet?"
Feeling uneasy, he poked his head out from behind the desk and cautiously looked out the window.
What he saw made his blood run cold.
On the blurry window, there seemed to be an enormous, terrifying ear pressed against it!
He swallowed and held his breath, observing carefully.
The ear did not move at all.
Jing Jian was in the middle of healing, unaware of what was happening. The yin energy turned into white smoke, being expelled from his body, making a faint hissing sound.
The ear on the window moved suddenly.
Oh no!
It's the Dean!
Lu Fei's heart began to race. He gripped the thunderstruck wood tightly, with his magic power surging crazily.
Yin energy was seeping in through the gap under the office door.
The Dean had also become smarter, knowing that Lu Fei and the others would avoid him. Instead of making any noise, he approached silently.
At a critical moment in his cultivation, Jing Jian was unable to move.
Lu Fei stared intently at the door, his gaze heavy, his entire body taut. He had made up his mind that as soon as the Dean entered, he would find a way to lead him away and absolutely not interfere with Jing Jian.
The office door opened a crack, and the shadow of the Dean gradually appeared.
But just at that moment.
Lu Fei suddenly felt his fingers being held by a cold, small hand.
He looked down and was shocked.
The doll had poked its body out of his pocket, its deformed little hand gripping his palm.
And another doll was holding Jing Jian's hand in the same way.
"What are you guys trying to do..."
There was no time to think.
Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes.
The dean's icy, ghostly aura instantly vanished.
The surroundings became unusually quiet.
