El cadáver femenino envuelto en el armario

Capítulo 8

Nanaco asked anxiously, "What happened? Tell me quickly, what kind of demon is it, and can you help me get rid of it?"

Reply [49]: Dongfang Yan walked towards the girl under ten cold and sarcastic gazes, and said slowly with a solemn expression: "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Yes, tell me quickly!"

Ye Cuo gave the five girls a disgusted look: "The captain didn't find any spiritual or demonic energy, so there are no demons here at all!"

Guangyan continued, "We believe there are two possibilities regarding these incidents: either you have mild paranoia, or someone is deliberately playing tricks on you!" As he said the last sentence, Guangyan looked at the five people without any politeness.

Before Nanaco could speak, Dongfang Yan said softly, "We didn't want to tell you, but we still believe you have the right to know the truth. We hope you can discuss it with your roommates. These things are beyond our ability to help you; we hope you can do your best."

Watching the three leave, the girl slid down weakly and collapsed to the ground. The other five girls snorted and giggled with their backs to her.

On her way back to the dorm, Guangyan was still seething with anger. She couldn't help but ask Dongfang Yan, "Captain, Nanaco is so pitiful! Her roommates actually pretend to be ghosts to scare her every night. Can't we teach these scumbags a lesson?"

Dongfang Yan didn't answer, but instead looked up at the starry sky. The night was cool and still, a gentle breeze carrying a faint floral fragrance. Dongfang Yan took a deep breath of the fragrance before speaking, "Some things aren't as simple as they seem. We don't know the truth about what happened in their dormitory, so it's best not to get involved now. Let's go back."

Although there were still some things she wanted to say, Guangyan listened to Dongfang Yan's advice and accompanied Ye Cuo back.

Because Dongfang Yan and the others left too early, and because the five roommates had their backs to Nanaco, no one saw her resentful gaze. Secretly, the girl smiled coldly.

Reply [50]: [One week later]

"Captain, something's happened!" Guang Yanhua rushed in, her face pale. Dongfang Yan immediately pulled Ye Cuo outside. Feng Yin was still sleeping peacefully in bed.

Arriving at the dormitory room he had visited seven days prior, Dongfang Yan paused for a moment before pushing the door open and going inside. No matter how dire the situation, he had the courage to face it. The two followed closely behind.

What did the three of them see?

Five pale-faced women, their eyes vacant, sat listlessly on the bed, muttering to themselves. As soon as Dongfang Yan entered the room, she noticed an unusual spiritual energy surrounding them, and sensed the immense power of its owner. A week ago, it was just some supernatural charade; now it seemed there really was demonic energy! Hmm, this spiritual energy feels familiar.

"What's going on?" Although she despised the five girls for their evil deeds of secretly harming their roommates, Guangyan's heart softened when she saw their pitiful appearance.

The five people exchanged glances, and a tall girl stepped forward: "Please save us, there really are ghosts here!"

"Then tell me everything so I can help you," Dongfang Yan asked calmly.

"Well, here's what happened..." the tall girl stammered out.

Tiannan College values student talent, so poor but intelligent students can study here for free. Everyone in this dormitory except Nanaco is from a poor family. Nanaco is naturally arrogant; after all, who wouldn't be proud of being the daughter of a wealthy family, beautiful, and academically excellent? In the dormitory, everyone disapproves of Nanaco's spoiled attitude. The tall girl continued bitterly, "Who does she think she is! Just because she's a little pretty and born into a rich family doesn't mean she's all that. But it's good that she's dead! She always looked down on us and would use her stinking money to provoke us. And she always thinks only of herself! You wouldn't believe it, she keeps the lights on all night when she wants to read, not caring whether we need to sleep or not! When we finish work and are tired, she's there laughing and making sarcastic remarks! She bought a dress and then wanted to show it off to us for days! Humph! We just wanted to ignore her, but then she came to our workplace and started ordering things around, making us serve her respectfully, and even deliberately gave us extra tips to humiliate us! Who cares about her stinking money? We won't allow her to insult our self-respect! We'll make her taste the bitterness of pain!"

"So you really did conspire to scare Nanaco by pretending to be ghosts, but what are you doing now?" Dongfang Yan asked coldly, her expression completely blank.

“I’ll tell you what to do next!” A young girl walked in; it was Nanaco. She had a strange expression on her face, a look of sadness mixed with disdain.

---janeadam

Reply [51]: Nanaco said word by word: “I’m really sad because I didn’t know you all saw me this way. I did disregard your feelings, but that’s because I’ve never had any friends since I was little. I didn’t know how I could make you feel. You were silent when I was reading at night. How was I supposed to know you didn’t want me to continue reading? I gave you tips because I really wanted to help you. Why did you say I was humiliating you? I bought you new things because I consider you my friends and wanted to share my happiness with you…” The girl’s eyes were full of loneliness: “When I found out that you scared me, my heart was filled with resentment. I never thought that my kindness and efforts would be trampled on so ruthlessly by you! I hired the best exorcist to work for me. I had him summon demons so that you could see terrible monsters and suffer even more than I did!” At the end, Nanaco cried softly.

Unexpectedly, this happened, and neither Ye Cuo nor Guang Yan knew what to do.

"Really, just as I predicted." Dongfang Yan sighed helplessly. (Strange, why have I been sighing so much lately? Is it because that wicked Hua Ailing is going to end this story?) But he quickly smiled because he noticed someone had arrived. Having a companion with such excellent eloquence is truly relaxing!

Another person, hidden outside the dormitory door, walked in. Feng Yin looked at the five girls with a half-smile: "Actually, the five of you are the ones who are truly at fault. Nanaco didn't look down on you or have any prejudice against you. It was your self-righteous pride and your ridiculous reasons that made you bully a kind girl! You are the ones who truly look down on the poor! You are merely envious and resentful of everything about Nanaco; your ugly psychology and distorted, perverse personalities have led you to commit such despicable acts!"

The tall girl screamed, "Who are you? What gives you the right to say that! Get out!" Knowing Feng Yin's character well, Guang Yan and Ye Cuo naturally sided with him, coldly watching the crazy and ugly behavior of the woman next to them.

The seal laughed: "Don't think I don't know! I've been scaring you with talisman spirits these past few days, and some of you cowards have admitted your mistakes. You secretly tore up your classmates' books, hid their study materials, and slashed their clothes with knives... You are all just good at academics, but your character is utterly depraved. I've already reported to the principal, and your expulsion notices will be in your hands tomorrow!"

"You!" A girl's face contorted in pain as she lunged at the seal menacingly, yelling, "You rich man's lackey!"

"Boundary of Flames!" The seal uttered these four words, and the girl screamed as she retreated from him. Her sharp fingernails were burned off, and large patches of her hair were singed. The tall girl, filled with fear and hatred, yelled, "Dongfang Yan, you're not an exorcist! Kill this demon! Kill it!"

Dongfang Yan casually shrugged, feigning helplessness, and walked out. Ye Cuo and Guang Yan also helped Nanaco out. Feng Yin didn't even glance at the five girls collapsed on the ground, and quickly walked out.

Reply [52]: After seeing off Nanaco, who was moving into the new dormitory, Dongfang Yan smiled as she looked at the seal: "Well done, but~~ I don't believe you're that kind-hearted. Go and help others!"

The seal deliberately dragged out its words: "You really can't hide anything from me! I went to investigate after you guys did, and that girl just happened to want to vent her anger, so of course I took her money to help her out!" The tone changed: "However, I'm curious why you didn't do it; that's not like you."

Guangyan nodded vigorously: "Yeah, I've never seen the captain not do his job!"

Dongfang Yan laughed loudly: "Idiot! If there are people who work hard on their own, why should I do it? Anyway, you are all my reliable companions, so it doesn't matter who does it."

"..." Just say you want to slack off! Ye Cuo thought to himself.

"Honestly, I should have known better than to let you know I'm from the Maoshan Sect. Now I have to do everything myself, really!" Fengyin muttered under his breath.

"Oh no!" Dongfang Yan suddenly exclaimed, "A very strong psionic energy is approaching!"

The seal's expression changed drastically, but it was too late to escape. His body was gradually petrified. Petrification—this was one of the abilities of the four great spirit beasts, Xuanwu! "It's over, it's Xuanwu! Master is here!" The seal was filled with regret; he shouldn't have used his spiritual energy for Nanaco's 100,000 coins!

"My dearest disciple, your wise, great, handsome, and carefree master has arrived!" As the voice spoke, a handsome man with brilliant blond hair strode in with a wicked grin. The newcomer was none other than Sunshine, the former leader of the Maoshan Sect and the greatest creditor sealed away!

"Come back to Maoshan with me. You'll only be allowed to leave the mountain once you've fully inherited Xuanwu. Otherwise, you'll do hard labor for me until you pay off your debts!" Pulling on the seal's ear, Yangguang led the pitiful seal away.

And so, the story of our Celestial Spirit Team comes to an end.

Reply [53]: Epilogue:

His seal was taken away by his beloved master, and that poor idiot probably won't be back until next semester. He hid for so long, only to be caught again by the lure of money—how pathetic!

Although Dongfang Yan claimed to be leaving the family, he will become the new head of the family after graduating from university because of his talent. And his most powerful partner in exorcising demons is not Zhuque, but a certain idiot who is working hard to pay off his debts.

Guangyan stayed to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam; she loved the campus. "How can I leave without winning over Ye Cuo!" Uh, was this Guangyan's true feeling?

After graduating, Ye Cuo became a teacher in the medical department. His students spread rumors that they had seen him and three senior students chasing strange figures on campus at night. They also heard the four of them laughing happily.
