The once rampant and unruly dean now fled in a sorry state.
Under the cover of the eerie wind, he disappeared in a few blinks.
Woof woof!
Little Black volunteered and ran ahead to search.
What does this mean?
If even Little Black isn't afraid, the Dean must be in a pretty bad state!
Lu Fei and Jing Jian's morale soared, and their eyes lit up.
The two ghost dolls, watching the Dean flee, had blank expressions, as if they couldn't react.
"Little Black, hurry! There's not much lamp oil left!"
Lu Fei urged.
Little Black, who had been hiding all night, was now working very hard, as if to make up for his past shame.
He sniffed vigorously, his four short legs moving rapidly, leading Lu Fei and Jing Jian into the staff rest room.
Lu Fei held the oil lamp high.
The dim yellow light illuminated the dusty space.
There was a single bed against the wall.
A dark shadow crouched under the bed.
Lu Fei and Jing Jian met each other's eyes and tiptoed over quietly.
"Come out!"
The two of them squatted down and peered under the bed.
However.
From behind the door, a long ruler was stealthily swinging towards their backs.
The ghost doll in the pocket, sensing something, turned its head in alarm, and immediately panicked, extending its tiny hands to grasp theirs.
Bang!
The two figures vanished.
The ruler hit empty air, and the bed frame clattered loudly.
In the next moment.
Two figures appeared by the door.
The dean was hiding behind the door, and he was greatly startled to see the two suddenly appear.
But before he could use the ruler to drive them away, the two struck first.
Electric light and starlight intersected.
The dazzling light illuminated the entire lounge as if it were daytime.
The ghost doll hid again.
Fortunately, the dean had no eyes, otherwise, he would have surely been blinded by the flash.
Boom!
The remaining half of the dean's ear suddenly exploded.
Half of his face was gone.
He let out a deafening wail, wildly waving the ruler.
Lu Fei and the other carefully avoided him.
Despite being engulfed by the yin energy, with his ears completely rotted, the dean was still not dead.
No wonder the ghost doll lacked confidence.
What tenacity!
The oil in the Merit Lamp was down to the last bit.
It could last for at most another half a minute.
"It's still not enough. If only we had a megaphone! A megaphone could amplify the sound....
Lu Fei gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, he spotted a stainless steel bucket tilted in the corner, which had probably been used for serving food in the kindergarten.
"If we don't have a horn, a bell will do! Brother Jing, let's get to work!"
Lu Fei gave Jing Jian a meaningful look.
Jing Jian understood immediately and picked up the stainless steel bucket.
"You two little ones, it's time for you to show off your extraordinary powers!"
Lu Fei lowered his head and smiled at the two ghost children.
The ghost children's eyes, which had been filled with hesitation, gradually grew resolute as they clasped the hands of the two men.
The two figures flickered.
They continuously flashed around the principal, each time just managing to dodge the flailing ruler.
"So you have sharp hearing, huh? Let's see how much you can take!"
Jing Jian picked up the stainless steel bucket and forcefully covered the head of the dean with it.
Lu Fei immediately reached the jujube wood stick inside.
The power of thunder and lightning erupted.
Boom!
A huge roar echoed within the stainless steel bucket.
"Ahhhhh——"
The dean struggled wildly.
Lu Fei and Jing Jian threw themselves onto the steel bucket, using all their strength to hold it down, preventing it from escaping.
After a period of frantic shaking, the stainless steel bucket gradually slowed down, until it came to a complete stop, silent.
Only then did the two of them let go of each other.
Under the steel drum, only a long ruler remained.
"Is it dead?"
"It's dead."
The light from the oil lamp had already gone out.
The yin energy around them gradually dissipated, and the two were drenched in sweat as they sat on the ground. The two ghost dolls were even more exhausted, slumping in Lu Fei's arms.
Only Xiao Hei was still full of energy, bouncing around.
"Thank you! You are brave, good children."
After catching his breath, Lu Fei gently picked up the two ghost dolls.
"That song..."
The ghost doll looked at him and heavily closed its eyes.
They were too exhausted.
Lu Fei put them into his pocket and let out a long breath of stale air.
Tonight was truly thrilling.
Fortunately, they had made it through.
"Brother Jing, how are your injuries?"
"Just some superficial wounds, nothing serious." Jing Jian looked at the terrifying ruler, still in disbelief, "Lu Fei, what on earth happened?"
"You followed me without knowing? The dean is the real villain. I thought you had already figured it out," Lu Fei said, surprised.
"I didn't know, I just trusted you. With your cunning mind, how could you let yourself be deceived?" Jing Jian said with confidence.
"Thanks for the compliment!"
Lu Fei stood up, somewhat sighing.
"Sometimes, what we see and hear is not necessarily the truth. True good and evil are not as simple as they appear on the surface."
"If he doesn't like children, why did he become the director of the welfare home?" Jing Jian was puzzled.
"He could make Fu Lu dolls, maybe he knew some dark arts. He might have had some intentions for these children, but in the end, he couldn't achieve them."
The two returned to the secret room, where the little ghosts were still hiding in fear.
"You are free now."
Lu Fei and Jing Jian took all the Fu Lu dolls and led the little ghosts to the playground.
The wall of negative energy around the kindergarten had already dissipated, and the lights from the buildings outside could be seen.
But these little ghosts were completely lost, not knowing where to go.
"Lu Fei, these are all innocent children who were victims. What do you say we take them in first and then find a temple to perform a ritual for them?" Jing Jian felt very sympathetic towards these children.
"Alright, then."
Lu Fei waved his hand.
But the little spirits refused to possess the fortune dolls, their small faces showing deep resistance.
These things were their nightmares.
Jing Jian found those tattered dolls, and only then did they possess them.
The two pushed open the door of the kindergarten and stood on the street.
The cool night breeze seemed to truly bring them back to their senses.
It was very late.
Lu Fei stayed overnight at Jing Jian's place.
When he woke up, it was already noon the next day. Jing Jian was already up, boiling noodles in the kitchen again.
"I say Brother Jing, you're injured, and you're just going to eat this? Come on, I'll treat you to something good!"
Lu Fei turned off the stove without further ado and dragged him downstairs, choosing a decent restaurant.
"I heard that you should eat what you need to supplement. Since you have some superficial wounds, let's order more pork skin..."
"You're such a profiteer, did you do this on purpose? Let me tell you, after helping you with this evil object this time, I've paid back the favor I owed you from last time!"
Jing Jian rolled his eyes and focused on eating.
"Just one time, and you want to clear the balance?" Lu Fei chuckled, "How about this, why don't I take you in as an unofficial member of Sinisterium Pawnshop, or what we call a temporary worker. You can be responsible for gathering information on evil objects, and I'll make sure you live in luxury."
"I don't believe you!" Jing Jian felt like he was being tricked into something shady.
Amidst their banter, Lu Fei sent a message to private investigator Brother Liang, asking him to investigate Director Hong of the Red Moon Welfare Institute.
The kindergarten had such a strong negative aura; he always felt there was something wrong.
If he was going to deal with the evil in a place, he needed to do it thoroughly and leave no hidden dangers.
Liang Ge is very efficient.
In the afternoon, he sent the message over.
President Hong, whose real name is Hong Fukang.
His past was not as glorious and upright as Aunt Liang had said.
On the contrary, it was marked by numerous misconducts.
