“Hmm?”

Elder Wang’s eyes brightened: “That’s true. You are cultivating the Daoist supreme scripture, Divine Ascension Scripture. Although you have reached the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, your power is more profound than those in the sixth level of Qi Refining from lesser sects.”

“Moreover, with the Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman and the Thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Peachwood Sword left by your grandpa, capturing a Minor Demon is possible… Go, grab the sword.”

Hearing that there was a ghost he could scare, Xu Yang was overjoyed.

He pretended to return to the second floor. With a flick of his hand, he took out the peachwood sword from his storage space and the large iron hammer he had got from Dawa Elementary School.

Left hand holding the peachwood sword, right hand the large iron hammer.

Xu Yang stomped downstairs and said, “Elder Wang, I’m ready to go… I’ll drive my car…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lao Wang take out a key and press it at a Mercedes-Benz parked by the road.

“???”

Xu Yang’s eyes widened.

A Mercedes-Benz GLE300?

2022 model?

Is selling coffins so lucrative?

Sitting in the Mercedes-Benz and touching the brand new interior, Xu Yang couldn’t help but say, “Elder Wang, you have such exquisite taste. This car must be worth a lot, right?”

“Not much, less than 1 million yuan after delivery.”

Elder Wang started the car skillfully, “1 am just a coffin seller. What taste do I have? It’s just for transportation and to make my commute more convenient.”

“Commute?”

Xu Yang suddenly remembered that Elder Wang had just mentioned “our school’s piano room” and asked incredulously, “Elder Wang, are you working at a school now? Are you a university professor?”

Lao Wang was silent for a few seconds and then nodded, “Something like that.”

An “I knew it” expression appeared on Xu Yang’s face.

Although Lao Wang had just been a coffin seller before, he was a martial world member, and therefore should not be underestimated. Becoming a university professor seemed not impossible.

“By the way, Elder Wang, which school are you working at?”

Xu Yang asked again.

Wu City is a small place, without any universities except for a “Teacher’s College”.

All universities in Xi Xia Province are located in Silver City, the provincial capital of Xi Xia.

“I work at Silver City Institute of Technology…”

Lao Wang seemed reluctant to elaborate on this.

Xu Yang knew about Silver City Institute of Technology.

Its predecessor was Silver City College of Mining and Metallurgy, which was renamed “Silver City Institute of Technology” a few years ago. It is a regular undergraduate college with seven faculty schools, including Information Engineering, Finance and Economics, Teacher Education, Art, Media, International Education, and Continuing Education.

Lao Wang was good at driving.

Once on the highway, they sped along.

Around 1 am, they arrived at the entrance of Silver City Institute of Technology.

He drove the car directly to the school gate.

After a few honks,

A security guard came out of the security room, saw the license plate, and immediately raised the gate. He even saluted the car.

“Oh my god!”

Xu Yang was shocked, “Elder Wang, you’ve got some connections…”

“It’s nothing really,” Elder Wang said indifferently, “Since a year and a half ago, our Institute of Technology’s security team has been trained in a militarized manner. It’s just the rule to salute when they see their leader.”

He parked the car.

After pushing open the door and getting out, the security guard came running over with some clothes in his arms.

“Captain Wang, what’s going on?”

“Didn’t you say you’d be back before 10 pm? It’s been days!”

“Hurry up and put on your uniform so I can go home after you take over…”

Xu Yang:”…”

Lao Wang silently put on the security uniform, signed in at the security room, and then looked at Xu Yang while holding a flashlight without shame, “Actually, when the school leaders invited me here, they originally wanted me to be a professor. But I thought it was too troublesome, so I applied for the security captain position instead…”

Xu Yang followed him without saying a word.

Indeed, with Lao Wang’s martial world background, applying for a security captain position wasn’t a problem.

Xu Yang was confused, “Elder Wang, you don’t lack money, why bother working here?”

“I just couldn’t stand doing nothing, so I found some work for myself.”

Lao Wang revealed two yellowed teeth stained by Chinese cigarettes and smiled, “Of course, I came to college as a security guard because I was inspired by a novel. Who doesn’t like to watch young and beautiful college girls?”

“What novel?”

“The Guard at the Door Qin Da… Why are you asking about this, you little brat?”

As they spoke, Lao Wang had already arrived at the entrance of a building.

He took out a key and opened the door, “The haunted piano room is on the fourth floor. It is said that three years ago, a music student from the Art College committed suicide in that room.”

“Since then, the piano room has been sealed off, and no one has entered it…”

Lao Wang continued, “When I started working at the Institute of Technology over a year ago, 1 heard this story. But I didn’t pay much attention, and there had been no problems with that piano room… Until a week ago, someone opened the door.”

“Ever since then, every night, piano sounds would come from the haunted room. The college’s ghost story had already spread.”

Lighting a Chinese cigarette, Lao Wang added, “As the security captain of the Institute of Technology, it’s my duty to maintain the order here. But I have vowed never to catch ghosts again in my life, so I thought about going to Wu City to borrow a Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman.”

“Now that you’re here, go and help me take care of this matter.”

Lao Wang handed the flashlight to Xu Yang.

Without hesitating, Xu Yang stepped into the building.

As soon as he entered, he felt a cold sensation assail him.

It was the end of June, during which the weather in the Northwest was scorching hot and even the night wind blew hot. The building had no air conditioning, so the chilling breeze mixed with a hint of Yin energy was undoubtedly suspicious.

“It seems that there is indeed a ghost in this building…”

Xu Yang followed the stairs to the fourth floor.

But, when he passed the third floor, he suddenly stopped.

The sound of conversation came from a room on the third floor.

With his keen hearing, Xu Yang could hear clearly-

“Zou Yingsong, doing this won’t cause any problems, right?”

“Don’t worry, what could go wrong?”

“But I’m a little scared… Isn’t it said that the piano room upstairs is haunted? And I also heard that the person who committed suicide in that room did so because of playing with a pen spirit at night, which led to possession, mental disorder, and eventually suicide…”

“Come on! Does anyone really believe that?”

The person named Zou Yingsong laughed, “They say our school’s piano room is haunted, but we just checked it out… Where’s the ghost?”

Xu Yang turned off his flashlight.

He tiptoed to the door of that classroom.

Looking through the window, he saw five students sitting around a table.

There was a desk lamp by their side.

On the table, there was a pencil and several sheets of white paper.

Xu Yang also saw that some Yin energy was gathering on the ceiling above the students’ heads, faintly forming a ghostly silhouette..
