Lv Bai has already spent a week in this world.

During this period, although he only encountered supernatural occurrences three or four times, he was basically able to ascertain that using Yin Qi to track the supernatural was not always foolproof.

Some supernatural entities carried intense Yin Qi, like the Red-clothed Female Ghost, whose enormous Yin Qi could almost blanket the entire neighborhood.

However, some entities only carried pure Evil Qi, with no Yin Qi present, making it difficult to locate them using the Ghost-Searching Technique from Mao Mountain Daoist Technique.

Fortunately, Lv Bai wasn’t in a rush, and he was willing to wait patiently if need be.

After all, once night falls, if there really is something supernatural, it would surely emerge to cause trouble.

...

As night fell.

Personnel from the action department began to gradually withdraw from the school, leaving only Captain Mao and the Lv Bao Bureau observer with Lv Bai.

After finishing the dinner delivered by someone, the three of them sat in the security room playing cards.

The screen showed that surveillance cameras around the campus were still functioning normally, giving a sense of peace.

"Pair."

"The Ultimate Bomb!"

"Pass."

"No cards."

Suddenly,

Lv Bai put down his cards and abruptly turned to look at a screen in the lower-left corner.

This screen showed a surveillance feed, which now inexplicably had snowy static and even flickered occasionally.

Many supernatural entities emit a special magnetic field that causes electronic devices to malfunction.

If it wasn’t that the camera happened to fail at this moment, then there was only one other possibility.

"Has it appeared?"

The other two present knew the importance of the situation and also looked at the screen.

Captain Mao operated it twice, enlarging the image for closer observation, and then said: "It’s over by Huixin Lake."

He suddenly stood up: "Master Lv, should we go over now?"

The screen became increasingly difficult to discern.

Lv Bai gazed at the flickering image, rubbing his chin: "Can you determine what sequence of supernatural entity this is?"

He’s not an expert in this field, relying on professionals like Captain Mao when it comes to the type of supernatural entity.

"One that emerges from water and has a fixed activity range, there are only sequences 43, 81, and 168."

Captain Mao racked his brain for a long while but finally shook his head: "There’s too little information to determine."

The feed on the screen became completely white and snowy, with no trace of an image visible.

"Then let’s continue playing cards. After all, since the three of us are the only ones in the school, if it wants to harm someone, it will have to come for us."

Lv Bai picked up the cards on the table, a smile in his tone as if speaking about something lighthearted: "Let’s just wait for this supernatural entity to come to us."

Hearing this, Captain Mao’s eyelids twitched.

Even with Master Lv next to them, Captain Mao and the observer named Chen couldn’t help but feel nervous at the thought of soon facing the supernatural.

Captain Mao dutifully picked up his cards, but his eyes involuntarily began drifting toward the window.

Ke Mountain Art University is not a school with a long history, and it lacks historical depth; it was built with an emphasis on wealth and opulence.

Regarding both land area and building scale, it exceeded normal standards by a significant margin.

So, after all the personnel evacuated, the school felt very empty.

The shadows of those buildings naturally led to imagining something horrifying lurking within.

You could say people scare themselves to death.

The unknown supernatural entity hadn’t even truly appeared, yet Captain Mao was already feeling some apprehension.

...

Another ten minutes or so passed.

The ceiling light in the security room inexplicably started to produce a buzzing sound, quickly flickering until it went out.

The entire process was quick, leaving Captain Mao and the observer named Chen no time to react.

The good news was that they were somewhat mentally prepared, so they didn’t cry out due to this sudden occurrence.

With the moonlight outside and distant lights, the visibility in the security room wasn’t so poor that they were unable to see their hands in front of their faces; all three pairs of eyes could reflect the light in the darkness.

"Master Lv, is it... is it here?"

The observer Chen’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, as if worried that a louder sound might attract the attention of the supernatural entity nearby.

Lv Bai didn’t respond immediately; he quickly reached out and wiped his eyes, looking around.

Feeling the lingering vague Yin Qi around the security room, he replied: "It should be here."

Captain Mao dared not speak more, but quietly moved closer to where Lv Bai was.

Clap~ Clap~

Clap!

Lv Bai stared in the direction where the Yin Qi was most concentrated and reminded: "Listen carefully."

Perhaps his voice was so calm that both Captain Mao and the observer Chen inexplicably gained a bit more courage.

They calmed their minds and did hear faint noises outside the security room.

It was difficult to say these noises were footsteps.

Because they sounded so sluggish, like feet covered in mud stepping on a lotus leaf.

Squeak~

A sudden wind blew open the locked door of the security room.

The wind carried a nauseating stench that was unbearable in its intensity.

It was like a dead fish, freshly retrieved from the water, put into a rubber boot, and naturally fermented for three days and nights to concoct such a stench.

Observer Chen, who had been holding his breath, suddenly felt like he had chronic pharyngitis due to the smell and uncontrollably started to retch.

"I... yuck~"

The smell was so intolerable that even knowing there was a supernatural entity outside, he couldn’t help but want to run outside for fresh air.

Lv Bai frowned and performed a gesture, blocking his sense of smell.

After doing all this, he looked toward the entrance of the security room.

Due to the backlighting, he couldn’t see clearly what it looked like, but he could make out a strangely shaped humanoid figure.

At first glance, it seemed like it had draped a raincoat over its head, with chaotic branches covering its entire body.

Lv Bai picked up the military flashlight from the table and shone it at the entrance: "Brother, you smell awful."

Unexpectedly, when the flashlight turned on, it showed that there was no one at the door.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned off the flashlight.

Sure enough, once the light went out, they could see the strange supernatural entity again.

It was worth mentioning that during the on and off of Lv Bai’s flashlight, this supernatural entity had already moved from the entrance into the security room.

Lv Bai showed no trace of fear; he even tilted his head with a smile and asked, "Captain Mao, can you identify what kind of supernatural entity this is now?"

Captain Mao, with a slightly green face, pinched his nose: "It’s the Drowned Ghost, sequence 81."
