The vengeful spirit was extremely surprised and made a hurried "gaa" sound. The sound disappeared instantly because Dou Tang had already grabbed her by the neck and rushed into the darkness.
At the same time, the vengeful spirit also clearly saw the smile on the man's face through the woman's eyes.
That was a smile she had never seen since she became a dead person. All she saw on everyone else's faces was fear and terror, but this being in front of her... was laughing wildly!
That mocking and contemptuous smile, as if he himself was the one who was ignorant of his own limitations!
Chapter 48 The Roar of the Dragon!
Dou Tang pressed down on the woman's neck, showing no mercy whatsoever, and pinned her to the ground.
The woman, controlled by the vengeful spirit, let out a dissatisfied groan. An immense force beyond the realm of ordinary people surged from her body. The vengeful spirit was eager to escape its predicament, and its entire body exuded a strange, dark aura.
But such an aura and superhuman strength seemed to have no effect on the man in front of him.
Dou Tang sneered, "You like possessing people, huh? You think no one can catch you?"
He suddenly raised his hand, his arm glowing with a dazzling, eerie blue light, and then pulled a black shadow out of the woman's body.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the shadow soaring into the air, where it slammed into the black, mushy ceiling with a thud.
The moment the shadow touched the black substance, it seemed to merge with the black filth, transforming into surging waves that rapidly receded into the distance.
Dou Tang watched the shadow disappear into the distance without giving chase, only letting out a snort.
Lu Zizhen slowly walked over and sighed, "You really act so decisively. Aren't you afraid of strangling her to death?"
"I held back."
Lu Zizhen pointed to the hand-shaped bruise on the unconscious woman's neck: "Then how do we calculate this?"
"Isn't it normal for people who are possessed by evil spirits to have finger marks on their necks?"
Lu Zizhen was speechless.
Dou Tang shrugged: "Look, it's quite common for people who are possessed to strangle themselves or have strange bruises on their bodies."
"So you're planning to use this excuse to cover up the injury you caused by choking someone, is that it...?"
Dou Tang nodded simply and frankly.
"...Did you damage your brain in that fight with Ito-sama?"
Dou Tang continued to shrug.
Lu Zizhen checked the woman's condition and said, "It's nothing serious, she was just frightened. So what should we do next?"
Dou Tang said, "Take your men back, I'll explore this place."
"You don't want me to come with you?"
Dou Tang grinned mischievously: "It's just so you can help me hold them off, preferably so they don't get down."
Lu Zizhen seemed to sense something: "You want to cause a scene here?"
"Yes."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him otherwise, Lu Zizhen could only sigh and lower his head to pull the woman on the ground up. The light of the talisman paper shone through her sleeve, indicating that she was strengthening her power in some way.
Carrying the unconscious woman in her arms, Lu Zizhen turned back as she walked away, reminding her as she went, "Don't play too wildly. This place doesn't feel very sturdy. Once you get the information, leave as soon as possible."
"How about I take you and Huaiyin out for a nice meal tonight?"
"Okay." Dou Tang stood there, rubbing his hands together, looking at the deep and empty darkness in front of him.
Once Lu Zizhen had completely left, Dou Tang said, "Hey!"
The shout echoed in the darkness.
It traveled far, far away in the darkness, its echo ethereal.
"If you don't come out, or rather, if neither of you comes out, then I'm going to start making my move."
A dazzling pink light emerged from the darkness, and countless illusory candies swirled around Dou Tang, wrapping his tall body layer by layer and expanding and reshaping him into a powerful new form.
A giant dragon-shaped Fall Guy, painted in shades of blue and pink, appeared in the spot.
It made a few funny movements on the spot, its vertical eyes full of laughter, and then stretched its limbs.
At that moment, a figure floated out from the wall beside them; it was the female ghost who had disappeared earlier.
Her face was full of surprise, like a little girl who had seen something cute, wanting to get closer but not daring to clasp her hands together: "Eh! Eh! Eh!!"
"What is this? What is this?!"
The dragon jelly bean gave her a thumbs up and then gestured for her to cover her ears.
The female ghost obediently did as she was told, even though she didn't understand what she was supposed to do.
Then, the comical dragon head on the Bean-Man's head sucked back its pink little tongue, and its darting, ridiculous eyes suddenly turned into golden vertical pupils.
Its round scales sprouted sharp horns, its nostrils exhaled scorching breath, its wing skeleton was covered with scales, and its membranous wings were filled with thick blood vessels.
The muscularized form of the dragon Fall Guys is unlike any of its previous forms. All the characteristics of a dragon have been stripped away from the cute category after the muscularization, transforming it into a truly realistic fantasy creature, a dragon that truly fits people's imagination.
The gaping maw slowly opened, revealing its throat. It was hard to imagine where the real head was beneath the dragon's body—was it the pale, jelly-like face of a jelly bean or the dragon's head?
If it has the face of a Fall Guy, then the dragon opening its mouth would look like a lid being opened on the Fall Guy's head!
However, before the female ghost could even begin to ponder this question, the dragon took a deep breath.
[Warning alarm sounded]
The next moment, a roaring shockwave, as if it were tangible, swept everything away.
"Roar----"
The dragon's roar was initially rough, then became long and shrill, transforming into an extremely piercing howl. All matter in the underground world seemed to resonate with it, making people uneasy.
After a loud bang, a scream came from the darkness. The lurking vengeful spirit was completely shattered by the roar from the fantasy world, and fell to the ground in a sorry state. Dou Tang could hear it writhing in pain.
The female ghost also went limp, her body almost dissipating, and she knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
As the dreamlike light dissipated, Dou Tang stood there contentedly, the seven-colored light quietly disappearing from his side.
He looked at the female ghost beside him, walked over, and stretched out his hand: "Come here."
At this moment, the female ghost was filled with fear and dared not disobey him. She could only extend her illusory hand and hold his.
Dou Tang pulled her up; being able to touch vengeful spirits, which were not actually physical objects, was his most basic ability.
A thick, black aura emanated from his sleeve, filling the female ghost's body. Dou Tang narrowed his eyes and transferred some of the purified power within his body to the female ghost.
Manipulating the powers of the undead is one of his abilities that can be called "authorities".
Leading the female ghost along, he walked slowly forward, and after turning another corner, he discovered the vengeful spirit crawling on the ground in the darkness.
The vengeful spirit now appears as a young girl, with disheveled hair, wearing the same school uniform as the short-haired female ghost beside her.
Dou Tang hissed, his doubts deepening.
"You two are students of Yiyan Private Academy, right?" He looked at the female ghost beside him: "You disappeared here twelve years ago."
The female ghost nodded forlornly.
The vengeful spirit lying on the ground suddenly raised its head, its crimson eyes behind its bangs filled with anger and resentment.
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you, kill you over and over again! Give me back Professor Ejima! You pervert!"
Dou Tang sighed.
"Okay, I think I understand..."
The vengeful spirit rose from the ground, floated in the air, and stretched out its claws toward the female ghost.
"But I'm sorry, you two are both dead now. Why don't you tell me what happened back then?"
Dou Tang slapped away the vengeful spirit's long, black claws, then pressed down on her head. The eerie power that surpassed that of the vengeful spirit caused her to scream in agony.
Dou Tang said coldly, "Tell me everything that happened to your teacher Jiangdao here."
Chapter 49 The Unfulfilled Feelings of Twelve Years Ago
With one hand pressing down on the vengeful spirit and the other on the female ghost, even as the vengeful spirit swelled and twisted in anger, it could not break free from Dou Tang's grasp.
His eyes burned with fire, chilling the two undead to the bone; even though they had been dead for so long, they could still feel fear emanating from this man.
Then, the female ghost said dryly, "Is Teacher Jiangdao still alive? How much time has passed outside?"
Dou Tang pursed his lips and said, "This has nothing to do with what happened here before. Tell me honestly, what exactly happened before?"
The vengeful spirit let out a wild, growling sound, its eyes behind its bangs fixed on the ghost, saying, "It's all because of him, because of him..."
Dou Tang stood in the dark underground with two spirits. The vengeful spirit, still harboring deep resentment, slowly recounted the events of the past.
…………
……
There are several legends about Yiyan Private Academy, one of which is about the beautiful school doctor.
Twelve years ago, it was the end of the so-called "lost two decades" after the bursting of Japan's bubble economy. The economic downturn that began in 1989 seemed to ease only in 2008.
However, in June of that year, the earthquake in Iwate and Miyagi prefectures dealt another heavy blow to the economy. It was at this time that the reconstruction of the Ikuen Private Academy in Tokyo began.
All high school students were forced to leave their campus in Tokyo and move to Forty Inaba for a six-month closed-campus life.
There was only one school doctor who arrived with the high school students, and that was Ejima Iya.
At that time, Ejima Isamu was undoubtedly a star in the high school. This handsome school doctor was loved by the students for his humor and approachable personality, and many people secretly admired him.
A girl named Mitsuaki Akushiro was the most proactive among those who admired her.
The air was filled with the faint scent of old wood. The twilight outside the window was fading away. Night had fallen so early in the small town, as impatient as a young girl's heart.
Wearing indoor shoes, Mitsuaki Akushiro walked briskly through the school building, carrying a lunchbox wrapped in a simple silk cloth in both hands.
Her long, black hair cascaded in the light behind her, each strand seemingly tinged with a dim, golden glow.
Not long ago, the school launched a disaster relief donation event, and Ejima Iya, as the school doctor, also attended the event. It was on that day that Mitsuaki Akuta fell in love with him.
She then took the initiative, using the excuse of feeling a little uncomfortable in the new environment to go to the school clinic every day, and in doing so, she discovered more of Ejima Iya's shining qualities.
This school doctor had no airs of a teacher; he was so approachable that people wondered if he was really an elder. His conversation was witty and humorous, and he could engage in almost any topic with any student, which earned him an excellent reputation among the students.
The closed-off school life made Mitsuaki Akuhaku develop feelings for this mature man.
Mitsuaki Akuhachi has a very straightforward personality, so he quickly took on the role of health committee member and his interactions with Ejima Iya became more frequent.
Today, after class ended early, Mitsuaki Kakuhaku went to the cafeteria to get some food, intending to deliver it to Ejima Iya, who was still working in the infirmary.
He'd be shocked if he saw that, right? Those people don't dare associate with Professor Jiangdao at all; they all hide their admiration and dare not express it. How can they possibly win the heart of the person they like like that?
Thinking this, her steps became lighter and lighter, her long hair bouncing behind her, as lively as a fox.
She arrived at the school clinic, looked around, and then quietly opened the door a crack. She didn't want to interrupt Ejima Iya's work, even though Ejima Iya probably wouldn't mind, but that would make Mitsuaki Akuta seem very inconsiderate.
But to her surprise, peeking through the crack in the door, she discovered that the school clinic seemed to be empty.
Puzzled, she opened the door and entered the school clinic. She looked around and saw that the curtains on both beds were drawn, and there was no one on the beds. Jiangdao Yizai was also nowhere to be seen at the desk by the window.
“Strange…” she muttered to herself as she walked over to Ejima Iya’s desk.
Papers and Ejima Iya's favorite ink-colored pen were scattered on the desk. Although the papers were scattered, the desk was not messy at all. You could tell from the desk alone that he was a meticulous and elegant person.
Where would he be at this time?
Mitsuki Kakuhaku returned to the corridor, puzzled, and waited alone at the door.
The light outside the window slowly faded away. Mitsuaki Kakuhaku stood here and there, and finally even lay on the hospital bed and almost fell asleep. Only when she could no longer feel any warmth in the lunchbox did she realize that Ejima Iya was not here.
Somewhat disappointed, she closed the door to the school clinic, picked up her lunchbox in one hand, and walked dejectedly toward the stairwell.
But as soon as she reached the top of the stairs, she heard footsteps, so she quickly hid to the side, thinking that perhaps Ejima Iya had finally returned.
But he must have already eaten, so the food I brought him is useless now. I'm so hungry...
Rubbing her stomach, the girl quietly squatted on the stairs, listening with some disappointment as the footsteps gradually rose.
Until two people appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
Ejima Iya, wearing a white coat, and a girl he had never seen at school before, their heads bowed, the two holding hands.
The two seemed very close; the unfamiliar girl was practically leaning on Ejima Iya as she walked.
Mitsuki Kakuhaku immediately covered his mouth with his hand and held his breath, hiding on the stairs as he watched the two people pass by him and walk into the corridor.
It wasn't until the two left that Mitsuaki Akuhachi felt a warm sensation on his hand that had been covering his mouth.
