The autumn breeze was blowing. When Collin and Hunter appeared in front of the female ghost again, he clearly saw the female ghost rolling her eyes.
Not knowing what the feud between this man and this ghost was, Collin tilted his head to glance at Hunter and found that the other party was still looking cold and indifferent.
Unlike the school family quarters that Collin had imagined, the place where the female ghost asked them to meet was actually the main teaching building not far from the main gate of H University. The teaching building was now pitch black, with only one office on the third floor having a light on.
"That's Ben's office." The female ghost looked up at the lit window. The soft moonlight sprinkled in her eyes, reflecting the suppressed resentment and madness in her pupils.
"The office is full of ghost-control ornaments. I need you to help me get him out."
When the female ghost said this, Collin clearly felt the scar on his neck getting hot. He knew without a mirror that the red mark must have expanded its territory.
Collin glanced at the closed door of the main building: "He's still in school so late?"
Should we say that he is worthy of being the descendant of the original founder of the school? If Ben was just an ordinary and idle ideological and political theory teacher, then he would definitely not have an office in the main teaching building of H University.
"Who knows what dirty tricks he's doing." The female ghost lowered her eyelids and looked away, "Just help me get Ben out, and we'll be even."
"But the lock of the gate..." Collin raised his eyebrows and looked forward. Even though he had received a lot of so-called Jing_Essay education since he was a child, he could guarantee that no noble family would teach their children to sneak in and pick locks.
Not even if it's an illegitimate child.
"I'm good at this, just give it to me first." Dan Ning, who had been keeping a low profile, waved his hand and walked forward. Collin noticed that a thin piece of wire was wrapped around the other person's index finger.
"I advise you to stay away from this guy called Danning." The female ghost said faintly as she floated behind Collin. She was obviously still afraid of Collin's previous attack method of bleeding. So even though Collin's left hand was bandaged well, the female ghost subconsciously leaned her body to the right.
Unexpectedly, the female ghost would suddenly remind him like this. Collin turned back curiously: "You seem to be very prejudiced against him."
"How reliable can a man be who uses his girlfriend as a shield?" The female ghost laughed coldly, "He was looking for someone like crazy every day before, but when I let him into the ghost school and saw ghosts, he immediately changed."
"I don't know why you insist on dragging him into this, but I advise you to be prepared to be betrayed at any time."
"This Danning, apart from his own interests, will not take anything into consideration."
The female ghost didn't understand Dan Ning's change, but Collin knew it very well in his heart: the boy who went to the ghost school alone for his girlfriend at the beginning was obviously the "Dan Ning" in the original setting of the copy, and the cold-blooded man who used his girlfriend as a shield was the real player Dan Ning.
Without emotions, nature can be sacrificed at will.
However, Collin didn't understand why the female ghost said these to him. After all, the two of them could not be considered to be friendly friends.
"Maybe it's because you're more like me in the past," the ghost girl stretched out her charred fingers and outlined Collin's eyes in the air, "Stay away from Ben, he's not a good person."
"But you don't have to worry about these things." Before Collin could answer, the female ghost started to "chuckle" to herself again, "Your teacher Feng, he won't survive tonight."
Collin didn't know what was going on in the female ghost's mind. It was as if she had forgotten the harm she had done to her and she unexpectedly showed kindness to Collin.
Although this kindness was inappropriate and neurotic, Collin's heart softened for a moment.
Maybe he should have chosen a gentler means to accomplish his mission?
But this rare softness did not last long. The next second, the "click" sound of the door lock being opened echoed crisply in the night. Dan Ning put his hands in his pockets and looked at the two of them, which immediately broke the delicate atmosphere between Collin and the female ghost.
"There's no one else in the building," the ghost girl swooped into the teaching building, leaving only a sinister reminder, "Remember to ask Ben to leave the office. I'll be waiting for you outside the door."
The teaching building was empty and dark, and there were no voice-controlled lights installed in the building. Collin could only use the moonlight outside the building to carefully identify the steps under his feet.
Danning walked as lightly and silently as a cat. Collin was light in stature and had received training, so it should not be difficult for him to do so. However, in order to maintain his image as a simple and harmless college student, he deliberately made a series of footsteps that were neither heavy nor light.
The monotonous sound of footsteps echoed in the stairwell. The scratches on Collin's neck were still glowing with heat, but the ghost girl had long disappeared from his sight.
"Should we force our way in or lure him out?" Collin asked Hunter in a low voice, but Hunter didn't seem to want to make a decision. He just shook his head and said "It's up to you".
Collin had no idea what cards Ben had in his hand. Dylan, the only person he still trusted, disappeared after Hunter appeared. After much deliberation, Collin decided to make avoiding conflict and luring the enemy out of his hole his main goal.
But Ben's psychological quality was much stronger than Collin had expected. No matter what noise Collin and Hunter made on the third floor, he sat in the office as steady as a rock, as if he was oblivious to what was happening outside.
It seems that the only way is to force it. Collin adjusted his expression, raised his hand and knocked on the office door.
"Knock knock."
Just like the previous attempt, there was still no response from inside the door. If it weren't for the ghost girl's confident tone, Collin would have suspected that there was no one in the room at all.
He winked at Dan Ning who was standing in the dark, and then changed his tone to a little animal and said cautiously: "Teacher Feng, are you there? It's me, Collin."
Although it is not known what the relationship between Ben and the original "Collin" is, this name is undoubtedly extremely useful. As soon as Collin finished speaking, Ben's serious voice was heard in the office.
"Come in."
The door lock made a slight sound, Collin grabbed the door handle and turned it gently, and the tightly closed door opened.
The situation in the office was very normal. Ben was writing something with a pair of reading glasses on. He looked no different from other teachers.
If it weren't for the red strings and copper coins that were different from the overall decoration style of the office and still hanging on the ceiling, Collin would not have realized that this weird middle-aged man would be a Taoist priest who could catch ghosts and read Feng Shui.
Seeing Collin opening the door, Ben raised his head and stared at the ghost handprint on his neck.
"Have you met Lin Shuya?!"
Lin Shuya? Could this be the real name of the female ghost?
Collin had never heard of this name, but that didn't stop him from lowering his head and saying "hmm" vaguely, and then pretending to accidentally leave a small gap in the door.
He noticed that there was not a single mirror in the office, and even the glass of the two windows next to Ben's desk was blurry. It seemed that the other party was indeed very cautious against the female ghost.
"She didn't kill you?" Collin had his hands behind his back, so Ben didn't notice the bandage on his hands. He put down the pen in his hand and waved at Collin thoughtfully, "Come here."
I don’t know what kind of confidence this office gave Ben. The other party at this moment is completely different from the man who left the toilet in a panic. Collin hesitated for a moment, and finally moved his feet and walked towards Ben.
"Ghost Handprint, what did you promise her?"
Ben's rough fingers with thin calluses fell on Collin's neck. Collin frowned slightly. When the distance was close enough, he quickly stretched out his right hand hidden behind his back to grab Ben, while not forgetting to answer the other's questions.
----"catch you."
Collin did not use his full strength in this attack. After all, he wanted Ben and the female ghost to restrain each other instead of letting one side gain an overwhelming advantage.
But at the moment Collin made his move, he suddenly heard the clinking sound of copper coins colliding. The sound of the copper coins had a unique rhythm. Collin couldn't help but sway his mind, and the movement of his hand fell into failure.
"You've made it?" Ben dodged Collin's hand awkwardly, "Helping Lin Shuya deal with me? Collin, don't tell me you suddenly felt guilty and want to make amends."
Hearing this, Collin's heart suddenly skipped a beat: he originally thought that his character was that of a cowardly student who was bullied by Ben just like the female ghost, but from what Ben said, it was clear that his identity was not as simple as it seemed.
The place where the ghost's handprint was printed was burning with pain again. Collin seemed to be able to feel the anger of the female ghost from the pain. Knowing that he could not cause trouble for both the female ghost and Ben at the same time, Collin immediately denied Ben's statement: "Stop wasting time. I don't know what you are talking about."
Fortunately, Collin really didn't know what he had done in the past, so his confusion at this moment seemed particularly real. At the same time, he did not forget to use words to provoke Ben and guide the other party to tell him the information he wanted.
After narrowly avoiding Collin's attack again, Ben was furious and said what Collin had expected: "You are pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth, Collin. I underestimated you before."
"When I raped Li Shuya, you were watching from behind the curtain and refused to testify in court. Why are you pretending to be innocent now?"
"call----"
The yin wind was blowing strongly, and Collin knew that he was in trouble after hearing Ben's first words. He thought that he might have some grudge with the female ghost, but he didn't expect that the grudge was so big that it could not be reconciled at all.
He wondered how the system could allow him to use the female ghost so smoothly, and it turned out that a bigger trap was waiting for him.
"Collin!"
No longer caring about the restrictions in the office, the female ghost screamed and rushed into the office. Her red skirt was as red as blood, and her ghostly eyes no longer had the sympathy they had before.
She had thought that this young man was a pitiful person like her, but it turned out that he and that beast Ben were in cahoots with each other!
"Are you finally willing to come out?" The moment the female ghost appeared, Ben moved his fingers slightly, and the red line in the office began to move as if it had life. The copper coins on the red line jingled, and a faint golden light was faintly emitted.
This surreal scene completely shattered Collin's cognition. He took the time to look outside the door, but did not see Dan Ning at all.
It seems that what the female ghost said was right. This Dannin is indeed an out-and-out egoist.
In the blink of an eye, the flying red lines with the copper coins had already wrapped around the female ghost. Although these red lines were not stained with blood, they still turned the female ghost into a grayish-white gelatinous substance.
"You can't win the fight. It seems that staying in the mirror for a few years hasn't made you any progress." Ben pinched the red thread in one hand and leisurely combed his half-white hair with the other hand.
He exerted a little force with his right hand, and the female ghost tied by the red thread was forced to kneel down in front of Ben. He stretched out his hand to lift the female ghost's chin, and said "tsk" in a tone of evaluating goods: "After playing around for so long, you are still the most beautiful student I have ever taught."
"Pah." The female ghost spat, the yin energy in her body flowing, and her decent appearance finally turned into the hideous appearance she had when she died.
Pale skin, purple lips, and corpse spots of varying sizes all over the body. The faint smell of blood spread throughout the office. Ben shuddered and flicked the ghost woman's chin away.
"Are you scared?" The female ghost laughed sharply, and her aura surged, causing the copper coins on her body to vibrate and rattle.
"Ben, Collin..."
"I want you to be buried with me."
