Chapter 54: Professor An of X University

Chapter 54: Professor An of X University

“Thank you, Master.”

Zhu Yang and Min Yizhou, one after the other, handed the Condensing Sound Talisman to Pei Ye, their voices still thick with sobs.

Pei Ye said, “It is fine. This is a paid job. In this day and age, when you come out to do business and earn money, service must be thorough so the customer is satisfied.”

Not to mention the principal himself was standing there watching.

Pei Ye did not mind saying a few extra words in front of the paying client. There might even be future opportunities for more collaboration and harvesting benefits.

Under the silent gazes of the two ghosts, Pei Ye said, “Do good to the end, send the Buddha to the West. It is a pity you cannot give me a five star review on an app platform.”

The principal beside her coughed lightly and said solemnly, “Celestial Master comrade, rest assured, the five star review will absolutely not be missing, and we will also add a thousand word long review.”

Pei Ye was very satisfied with how sensible the principal was. Customers like this were good customers.

Xiao Pangzi muttered, “Speaking of which, this mission seemed too simple…”

They had just walked around the X University campus, brought along the principal, an ordinary middle aged man, and then smoothly found their target in the warehouse and solved the mystery.

From beginning to end there had been no twists or setbacks. Were all Celestial Master missions like this?

Xiao Pangzi’s fat hamster face showed a hint of suspicion.

The Spirit Bureau staff had said that missions from the Celestial Masters Alliance were all difficult, and they often involved life threatening cases.

But the result…

Emmm…

A knowing look.

Even a primary school field trip was not this easy.

Zhu Chun’an said, “Do you really think this mission was simple? If not for the senior making Professor An wary, the two of us would probably have been thrown out the moment we entered the warehouse.”

Xiao Pangzi: “???”

The principal muttered, “Professor An seems like a good ghost.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yang and Min Yizhou both showed strange expressions.

Professor An…

A good ghost…

If you said that to the wandering ghosts within X University, you would probably be laughed to death. Professor An was clearly the most terrifying one.

Zhu Yang timidly raised his hand and said, “The last unlucky ghost who disturbed Professor An’s lecture was dragged onto the podium and torn into more than ten thousand pieces. His ghost blood was used as chalk.”

The principal and Xiao Pangzi: “…”

It still was not enough. Zhu Yang continued gossiping, enthusiastically educating these two naive humans and the hamster demon about how naive they were.

“The ghost who was stealing underwear before was very fierce. I nearly got eaten by him. Professor An discovered I was absent during roll call, came over personally, and in one move captured that perverted ghost. Then she tore him apart with her bare hands and ate him. That pervert could beat me like I was his grandson, but Professor An beats perverts like an ancestor beating a descendant. She can do whatever she wants…”

“Is that still not fierce enough?”

The principal was startled.

“T, this, this exaggerated?”

Zhu Yang was an experienced ghost of three years and knew much more than Min Yizhou. He understood many hidden rules.

Professor An had an extreme dedication to teaching and research. No one was allowed to interrupt her lectures. Otherwise, the consequences were extremely severe.

Who would dare provoke her?

“I heard from old ghosts who have lived here for over ten years that at her peak, Professor An once tore apart and devoured two Ghost Kings.”

This “Ghost King” did not refer to the Four Directions Ghost Kings, but rather ghosts who had reached a certain level of strength among spirits.

For example, the morgue youth Ying Lin, or this Professor An at X University.

The principal felt his legs weaken.

“S, so fierce?”

This was X University. There were so many students here. Would this Professor An pose a danger to them?

Zhu Yang saw through the principal’s worry and said, “I heard from older ghosts that Professor An was also a professor at X University when she was alive. No one knows why she died. She is very strong, but she has never restrained her death appearance. If she did restrain it, I would bet a stick of spicy snack that she would absolutely be a refined and beautiful goddess among ghosts.”

“Professor An has been stationed at X University for many years. The ghosts here do not dare to act recklessly and obediently follow the rules she set. They do not dare to wander into female dormitories, toilets, or bathrooms.”

The principal was shocked again.

“She was a professor at X University?”

Judging from her appearance, she should not have been very old when she died, yet she was actually a university professor?

While one human and one ghost were talking intensely, Xiao Pangzi suddenly interjected coldly.

“I say, that Xiao Hong senior who can suppress such a fierce Professor An with a single encounter… seems even more terrifying…”

Pei Ye glanced sideways and said indifferently, “Say one more word and I will roast a hamster for dinner. Do spirit hamsters taste different from normal hamsters?”

Xiao Pangzi: “…”

(╥╯^╰╥) Even such an honest and cute hamster wants to be eaten.

After threatening Xiao Pangzi, Pei Ye said, “Professor An is not afraid of me, so she did not attack.”

Although Pei Ye’s murderous aura could suppress evil spirits, evil spirits were never reasonable.

They might fear her, but if truly pushed, they would still fight.

For example, the fierce ghost Lan Ying, or the fierce ghost Zhou Dachui.

They were all wary of Pei Ye, but if pushed too far, they would still strike.

Xiao Pangzi looked confused.

The principal also asked, “Then, then why did Professor An choose to retreat?”

Pei Ye said, “Because there were students in the warehouse. In her eyes, the ghosts attending her lectures are all students who need protection.”

Her instinct to protect students suppressed the innate ferocity of a powerful ghost. This was the first time she had seen something like this.

The group fell silent for a long while.

The principal vaguely felt something familiar in those words, but could not immediately grasp it.

He could only temporarily suppress it and plan to check X University’s old archives later.

“There are three minutes until class starts!”

Just then, Professor An walked over. Her hoarse voice carried a hint of displeasure.

Zhu Yang and Min Yizhou had no choice but to return to the warehouse for class.

Who would have thought that one had studied computer science in life and the other financial management, yet after death they were now forced to attend a ghost professor’s biology and chemistry lecture.

They had no choice but to attend.

Although Professor An’s lectures were incomprehensible to most ghosts, as a Ghost King, her teaching content had strange benefits for them, such as nourishment and condensation of soul bodies. Newly dead ghosts still had ancestral offerings in their early years, but older ghosts had none and rarely experienced the feeling of being full.

After one class, their soul bodies would become slightly more solid.

And what was the benefit of a more solid soul body?

When they became eligible for reincarnation, their next life would be healthier.

Even without thinking about reincarnation, simply being full was already a great happiness.

Thus, every time Professor An held a class, many ghosts came to fight for seats.

Even if they could not understand, they still pretended to listen with great interest.

The two ghosts hurried off to the warehouse. Professor An’s dead silent ghost eyes fixed on Pei Ye, as if examining something.

After a long moment, she said, “Are you here to investigate the suspicious ghost that infiltrated X University that day?”

Everyone: “???”

No.

They were only here to investigate Min Yizhou’s true cause of death and incidentally solve Zhu Yang’s death mystery.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ye nodded seriously.

“Yes. Does Professor An have any clues?”

Professor An fell silent for a moment.

She turned and said to Pei Ye, “Come with me. The others stay here and do not move.”

“Alright.”
