Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Panda Doll Enjoys the Show, Have the Dean Punish Yun Zhenyue?

The... The Director?

Seeing the vice-director ghost’s tear-streaked, emotional expression.

He looked as if he was desperately clinging to his last lifeline.

Shangguan Mu and the other Dragon Country players couldn’t help but grow uneasy.

None of them had expected the Director to actually return at the final moment!

Of all the times to show up!

Just as they were watching Sun, transformed into the panda man, go on a killing spree!

Countless ghosts had died in his crimson beams of light!

It was as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped on Reincarnation Hospital.

A red mist stained the ruins crimson, and a gust of wind swirled up, thick with the stench of blood and sand, leaving a scene of utter desolation.

"Director..."

"I have struggled to hold on, and now I have finally awaited your return."

"You must seek justice for Reincarnation Hospital! Look at this band of villains!"

"So many of our loyal, respected doctors were killed by them! The poor souls died without even knowing what they did wrong!"

"And look at the hospital... even the characters on the sign above the entrance have been destroyed..."

The vice-director ghost’s gray-white hair hung down like withered grass. Tears streamed from his murky eyes. His clothes were tattered, barely covering his body, and his stooped frame suddenly fell to its knees, as if he had suffered the greatest injustice imaginable!

He continuously poured out his grievances to the newly arrived Director.

The contrast was stark!

It was as if *they* were the villains who had destroyed Reincarnation Hospital!

And the vice-director ghost had become a bullied old man!

Seeing the vice-director ghost’s act, Shangguan Mu and the others had already subconsciously assumed that the Director was just like him—a wicked ghost, unable to tell right from wrong, utterly irredeemable.

At that moment, the Director’s face was grim.

Her pupils were like two pools of frozen ink, shimmering with a cold light.

She was clearly starting to get angry.

Everyone could see the small mantel clock on the Director’s forehead. As its blood-red hands swung, they emitted a bizarre and heart-pounding scraping sound.

KLACK~

KLACK-TICK~

The hands began to swing faster and faster!

It was as if they were condensing the Director’s resentment!

With every swing of the hands, it was like the sound of everyone’s gradually accelerating heartbeats!

One had to understand.

The Director was a notoriously powerful Evil Star-level ghost!

The strongest being in the SS-rank instance!

If the Director hadn’t come, Sun, as the panda man, could have slaughtered everyone in Reincarnation Hospital!

But before an Evil Star, the power of a Crimson-robed Ghost seemed insignificant.

It was just like the difference between a Crimson-robed Ghost and a Fierce Ghost.

The gap between an Evil Star and a Crimson-robed Ghost was like that between a whale and an ant.

They weren’t even the same category of existence!

Even for the panda doll, which was on the verge of becoming an Evil Star, as long as she hadn’t become one, even a second before, she couldn’t truly harm the Director!

At most, she could unleash her crimson beams at full power to burn and repel her!

That was the absolute limit of what the panda doll could do!

This was a doll made by Gu Yuan himself. Any other ghost of equivalent strength wouldn’t even be able to stir the corner of the Director’s clothes with a full-power attack!

"What do we do?"

"Sun, are you confident?" Shangguan Mu asked in a low voice, his heart burning with anxiety.

Hearing this, Sun the panda man’s expression grew solemn.

He could feel the Director’s terrifying aura.

The mantel clock on her forehead, in particular, exuded an absolute threat!

It was like being targeted by a sniper rifle—impossible to dodge no matter what.

Sun’s breathing grew ragged. Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his two black ears perked up.

But just then, the panda doll on his chest sent a wave of inexplicable reassurance.

It was as if it had seen an old friend.

It was telling him to relax.

’It’s going to be okay.’

"Huh?"

Before the bewildered Sun could even react, VMMMM! another red light flashed!

Sun’s fur receded, and his tank-like stature shrank in a flash!

He reverted from the panda man back to his original form.

And since his clothes had been torn to shreds during the transformation, he was now completely exposed!

"HOLY SHIT!"

Sun cursed out loud.

Even in such a dangerous situation, he couldn’t help but blush furiously!

’This... This isn’t right, is it?’

’You never see magical girls’ clothes getting ruined after they transform, do you?’

Meanwhile, the panda doll had returned to its spot on Yun Zhenyue’s shoulder.

A hint of anticipation flickered in its eyes.

Far from being scared, it seemed to be looking forward to the Director’s reaction.

It was waiting for a good show.

After all, it really knew Yan Ruyu. They had even played together before.

Don’t be fooled by Yan Ruyu’s cool, mature "big sister" appearance; in reality, she and the doll were two peas in a pod.

That time they blew up the orphanage, it wouldn’t have been possible without Ruyu’s help.

If Gu Yuan hadn’t thought that the two of them together would inevitably cause some earth-shattering incident that would rock the Ghost World, the one in Yan Ruyu’s office right now wouldn’t be that rabbit doll, but her.

...

Seeing this scene, the viewers from Dragon Country all turned pale, feeling as if disaster was imminent!

Especially when they saw the panda doll emerge from Sun’s body, they all thought it was because it was afraid of the Director!

[How are they gonna get out of this? That vice-director is completely twisting the truth!]

[I guess their only hope is that the Director has a conscience, but I doubt it!]

[Honestly, Sun’s panda man form is too intimidating. He looks like a final boss villain!]

[At this point, maybe the only chance they have is if the great Gu Yuan shows up with a pile of dolls.]

[Sigh, even if the great Gu Yuan is a Crimson-robed Ghost, that’s not enough to stand up to the Director.]

...

In contrast, the viewers from other countries, especially those from the Great Cold Country, were ecstatic!

They were all cheering on the Director!

[There’s no way she’ll tolerate this, right? If I were the Director, I would definitely kill all these people from Dragon Country!]

[Yeah, the sign above the entrance was destroyed. That’s a total slap in her face.]

[I ran an AI prediction. The probability of Yun Zhenyue surviving this is less than 0.0001%!]

[Huh, so you’re saying there’s a chance?]

[Yeah, the AI said if Yun Zhenyue knew the Director, she might be able to save her own skin.]

[Haha, why don’t you just say the Director is her sister?!!]

...

In just a short while, all the ghosts that had fled returned.

Mainly because Mrs. Yan was here!

No one would dare act recklessly!

Not even that detestable panda man!

If he dared to make a move, Mrs. Yan would surely cut him down on the spot!

"Mrs. Yan, you must punish these villains severely!"

"My brother... he was killed just for looking at him."

"These wicked villains! They must be skinned alive!"

"The vice-director was almost killed just now, too."

"Director, Your Grace, you must seek justice for us!"

A huge crowd of ghosts clamored, all demanding that Mrs. Yan harshly punish Yun Zhenyue’s group!

Seeing this, the vice-director ghost stood up, secretly glancing at the ghosts who were speaking up for him.

Then he put on a look of utter grief again.

He waited for Mrs. Yan to make her decision.

’With all these ghosts speaking for me,’ he thought, ’isn’t the truth just whatever I say it is?’

’I just have to pin all the blame on Yun Zhenyue’s group.’

...

At this moment, Mrs. Yan’s expression grew colder and colder, as if it were slowly freezing into an iceberg.

She was carrying a bag in her hand, holding some unknown, terrifying object.

A cold, menacing pressure radiated in waves from her tall figure!

It pressed down on all the ghosts and players present, making it hard for them to breathe.

It felt as if they were about to be submerged in the depths of the abyss!

KLACK-TICK~

KLACK-TICK~

KLACK...

Suddenly, the mantel clock on Mrs. Yan’s forehead stopped moving.

Just when everyone thought that Yun Zhenyue’s group was about to be killed by Mrs. Yan, the unexpected happened.
