After hearing the woman’s story, Chen Ge’s interest in the boy in the stairwell only grew.

“He dares to wander out in daylight, so he can’t be a normal lingering spirit. At the very least, he is at the level of a baleful Specter. But why would he stay here so long? Is it because he has unfinished business here? Could it be that the object of his possession is buried deep in the building’s foundation?”

Chen Ge felt uncomfortable knowing that a boy’s soul was unable to find peace. He decided to help the boy fulfil his last wish. Chen Ge rushed down the stairs. He did not know how to encounter the boy, so he found a blind spot from the camera and summoned Ol’ Zhou.

“Just now, a woman told me a little boy is wandering in this stairwell, can you sense his location?” Chen Ge asked Ol’ Zhou. He was hoping for a positive answer.

“I can’t feel anything. Perhaps he’s in hiding.” Ol’ Zhou looked around. “But this place is rather strange.”

“Strange? What do you mean?”

“A normal lingering spirit wouldn’t be able to appear in daylight. Even for baleful Specter, the period of appearance is only very short. If they wander too far away from their object of possession, it would cause irreparable damage, or at least, that should be the case. However, our Haunted House is an exemption. I do not know exactly why. Even in broad daylight, we can appear anywhere we wish inside the Haunted House. There is no limitation of time, and in fact, the place feels very comfortable to us.”

After describing Western Jiujiang’s Haunted House, Ol’ Zhou turned to study the stairwell that they were in. “Even though this place is not as comfortable as the Haunted House, I can stay here for a very long time. This building appears to have shielded itself fully from the sunlight, and the Yin energy gathered here is very thick.”

“You can stay in Nightmare Academy for a very long time?” For a moment, Chen Ge thought of having Ol’ Zhou stay behind to act as his spy.

“Not only me, even normal spirits like the students from Mu Yang High School should be able to do it. This kind of location is too rare,” Ol’ Zhou said meaningfully.

“Nightmare Academy has been in operation for many years already. This is probably due to its unique geographical location and mode of operation.” Chen Ge leaned against the wall.

“The negative emotions vented by the visitors pooled around this place, and combined with the natural Yin energy inside the building, if this is allowed to continue, this place will only attract more and more ghosts and monsters.” Ol’ Zhou’s brows were heavily creased, and he looked severe. “Just like how our Haunted House occasionally has special visitors, if the people here cannot deal with them, something very dangerous might happen, and it might lead to unimaginable results.”

“You have a point.” Chen Ge thought silently. “So, what do you think we should do?”

“We should take over such a dangerous location. After all, we have already gotten used to the danger.” Ol’ Zhou sighed and offered his advice.

After a moment’s silence, Chen Ge finally said, “With great power comes great responsibility. Even though I don’t live in Xin Hai, I can’t just let bad things happen to Xin Hai. After we deal with everything at our place, we should contact Director Luo, and with his help, hopefully, we can take over this building and snip the danger at the bud.”

“It is lucky that they ran into someone like you, boss.” Ol’ Zhou’s brows relaxed, and he sighed.

Chen Ge and Ol’ Zhou were a dream team and formed a great contrast to the boss of Nightmare Academy and his employees. This was probably due to Chen Ge’s natural personal charm.
