CHAPTER 211: CHAPTER 184

Yu Linlin left the store looking somewhat lost.

As she walked outside, her mind was full of what Mu Yunchu had told her about being at a low point in her life, but if she can get through it, she will start a truly new Chapter.

She timidly asked at the time, "Will this low point be worse than Mercury in retrograde?"

Mu Yunchu: "..."

Out of fear, Yu Linlin purchased quite a lot of items in the store.

Watching her leave, Li Shang waved her ghostly hand.

Expressing a simple sympathy.

"Little Chuchu, she won’t be done in by this so-called low point, right?"

The two didn’t have a great relationship, but since Yu Linlin was the first person among the store’s customers to buy her a milk tea, she simply thought she was a good person.

"She won’t."

Mu Yunchu directly gave her an answer.

Yu Linlin was actually quite good at acting, but her luck wasn’t very good, of course, this had a lot to do with her lack of connections.

There is always a way out, and one can only bounce back after hitting rock bottom.

Not only is she fine, but as long as she can get through this period, the path ahead will be easier and much broader.

Breaking down and starting anew means even the bad people around her will leave.

Next time, she won’t meet friends who will trick her out of money.

...

The thing Mu Yunchu hadn’t expected was that Yu Linlin’s visit had the biggest impact on her by—Li Shang clamoring to visit the amusement park.

"I’ve never been to an amusement park."

"With it being so close to us, wouldn’t it be a pity if it closed one day and we’d never been there?"

While pleading with Mu Yunchu, she kept winking at Ye Zhixia, asking him to help.

Then the two ghosts hovered around Mu Yunchu.

Upon closer thought, Mu Yunchu had never been to an amusement park from childhood till now either.

Today happened to be a good day to talk about this, and the weather was nice.

With her eyes slightly lowered in thought for a moment, it’s unlikely anyone would come to the store today.

She looked at Li Shang on her right and Ye Zhixia on her left, "So... do you guys want to get ready?"

That was a yes.

The two ghosts practically jumped up in joy at the same time.

Ye Zhixia had a difficult upbringing, and no one took him out to play.

So he was inevitably a bit excited.

To avoid leaving the drought spirit to guard the house alone, Mu Yunchu purposely shrunk her to the size of a keychain and hung her on Ye Zhixia’s bag.

The three of them leaving together was quite eye-catching.

Ye Zhixia might not have the handsome looks that make people fall for him at first glance, but he has the youthful vibe of a ’Japanese-style boy.’

Especially during his time with Mu Yunchu, even becoming a ghost couldn’t stop his improving mental state.

Li Shang had done her homework in advance, knowing that to go to an amusement park it’s customary to bring snacks.

So she specially went to a supermarket on the nearby street and bought a large batch.

Then she stuffed it all into Ye Zhixia’s backpack.

After locking the front door, she flipped the ’Open for Business’ sign to the back.

And then they left.

Elder Wei managed to access the surveillance footage he noticed the previous night the next day.

After examining it for a long time, he had his subordinates check it bit by bit. Eventually, after months of effort, one night he saw someone enter.

Liu Liang, who had been staying at the office, also came over.

He first looked at the screen, then glanced at Elder Wei, his expression somewhat odd.

"It shouldn’t be what you’re thinking, right?"

"These all just look like ordinary students!"

But Elder Wei wasn’t any less suspicious.

His face was serious, which was rare.

"Whether it’s what I’m thinking or just ordinary students, we’ll have to see for ourselves."

He couldn’t believe anyone would be bored enough to go to an abandoned old campus two days in a row.

Especially since rumors of ghosts haunting that place continue to circulate.

Of course, except for Zhao Qingqing, everyone who entered there was found by Elder Wei one by one.

"Elder Wei, there’s a thief we haven’t found yet, probably an unregistered one. It’ll take some time to locate him," his subordinate reported half a day later, walking into the office.

Upon hearing this, Elder Wei looked at the screen.

The large screen was now divided into several sections.

One of them was Mu Yunchu and her roommate Zhao Qingqing.

Another was the so-called thief.

They confirmed it was the thief based on his attire and assumed intentions.

Moreover, after inputting his face into the police system for comparison, they found his name and realized he had a history of multiple thefts.

But such a person is the hardest to find.

Elder Wei took another look at his reactions entering and exiting the old campus, guessing he probably went in to steal something.

But had undoubtedly seen something he shouldn’t have, leading to panic.

When exiting through the front door, he missed a step and rolled down the stairs.

His gaze shifted slightly, looking at the young girls next to him.

In comparison, these people were incredibly composed.

As thoughts churned in his mind, he suddenly asked his subordinate a question.

"What would you do if I asked you to enter this place with some friends at night?"

The subordinate, who appeared to be in his twenties, was stunned by Elder Wei’s question.

Then he couldn’t help but recall the child and mother ghosts he’d seen one night.

He was just a clerk in the 749 Bureau, without the magician’s special abilities.

If anything, he could at most act as a medic in a team.

And he had the fortune to be chosen by the 749 Bureau because of this.

But when dealing with ghosts...he absolutely couldn’t manage it.

So when pondering the answer, he instinctively thought of entering with his team.

However, Elder Wei seemed to see through him completely.

He continued, "I’m not talking about team members with special abilities, but friends like you, your everyday friends."

The man’s face turned several shades paler.

Almost instinctively, he blurted out, "I’d be scared to death!"

But after saying it, he seemed to feel it was embarrassing, and awkwardly pursed his lips.

"It’s fine, no need to be embarrassed."

Elder Wei comforted him, "After all, your reaction is that of a normal person."

"And it’s not just you. Even if I asked those who fought that night, letting them go in teams of two or three, none of them could guarantee they wouldn’t be afraid."

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at Liu Liang, but pointed at Zhao Qingqing, "This is where the problem lies."

"The behavior of these people in the surveillance footage doesn’t match how they should normally react."

Lastly, his eyes rested on Mu Yunchu’s blurry face, squinting a bit, "Especially this girl."

He was silent for several seconds, his dark pupils seemingly fathomless, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

"Have you arranged with the school? I’m about to meet them."
