215: Chapter 215 There's no one else here.

Lin Xiao engaged in a deep mental tug-of-war.

At first, he refused to act as a charlatan.

But the System kept increasing the points, which finally made him gradually compromise.

Just as they were talking, a voice came from the doorway.

"Oh, it's Mr. Lin!"

A middle-aged man with a slightly balding head walked in with a smile.

"Principal Han?"

Several students around them hurriedly greeted him.

They had originally thought that such a matter would at most alert the department head; they hadn't expected it to alarm the principal himself.

"Hey, hey, how are you all feeling? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?"

Principal Han looked at the girls present and Luo Xiaoyi, who was still lying on the Hospital bed, with a look of concern.

Although this concern looked a little fake, it was at least a decent display of superficial effort, making it impossible for anyone to find any major fault with it.

The girls nodded repeatedly and retold the story about wanting Lin Xiao to perform an Exorcism at the school.

Principal Han had already heard it when he was at the door.

He was not a person who believed in ghosts and gods, and under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to such an outrageous request.

But this time, since he was facing The Lin Family, he didn't think that way anymore.

Exorcism was a small matter, but building a good relationship with The Lin Family was a big one!

So, after listening to the girls' account, he maintained a kind smile on his face and nodded silently, "As long as this Master Lin is willing, I naturally have no problem with it!"

The girls were immediately happy and followed the principal's form of address, saying to Lin Xiao, "Master Lin, then we will thank you in advance!"

Lin Xiao had long since seen through Principal Han's little scheme, but he didn't say much and just nodded silently.

Lin Wanwan and several girls planned to take Lin Xiao back to school, but only Luo Xiaoyi was still a bit fearful.

Plus, her foot was injured, making it inconvenient to move.

Worried that it would be troublesome if she encountered a ghost again, she planned to stay at the Hospital for one more night.

Principal Han was the type who would go all out when putting on an act.

He accompanied them the whole way, and Lin Xiao and the girls returned to the school and came back to the scene of last night's ghost-summoning.

The dormitory in the daytime was bright and sunny, which to some extent dispelled the girls' fear.

Moreover, regarding this matter, the school had kept it well hidden from the other students.

Even people in other dorms on the same floor didn't know what had happened here.

Everyone still passed by as usual, maintaining their daily lives.

The dormitory door opened, and several girls stood behind Lin Xiao.

Lin Wanwan pointed to the messy pile of papers on the table and whispered, "A-Xiao, that's what we used to summon the ghost yesterday."

Lin Xiao walked in and picked up a few sheets of paper to examine them.

To be honest, in his eyes, these strange patterns were just some ordinary scribbles.

If one could summon a ghost using this junk?

It was truly a bit outrageous.

Besides that, there was nothing special in the dormitory.

Just like Lin Wanwan's description, the window was open.

However, the window lock didn't work very well to begin with, and if it wasn't closed properly, it would blow open as long as the wind outside was a bit strong.

Could it be that the so-called baby crying they heard last night was actually just the sound of the wind?

Lin Xiao turned around, saw those timid faces, and didn't voice this thought.

He continued to look around, pretending to be serious, while asking in his mind.

"System, what is going on here? Can't you just give me the script and tell me who is playing tricks?"

[That won't do, this is a mission! The host must personally catch the "ghost" for the mission to be considered a success!]

Lin Xiao curled his lips.

In some matters, this System was truly stubborn.

He had no choice but to try to activate the Bagua Technique to calculate what had actually happened here.

As the Bagua disk in his mind spun, he soon got the result.

"There has actually been a death here?"

Lin Xiao was very surprised.

In other words, the so-called haunting might very well be real?

Of course, he still didn't believe there were ghosts in this world.

He just felt that if it really involved a human life, it was very likely that someone was playing tricks, rather than the wind or other coincidences he had thought of earlier.

"Wait a minute, that's not right. Every time before, the Bagua Technique could calculate a relatively detailed result. Why is it so vague this time?"

[It's not that vague, perhaps this matter is just too complicated?]

Lin Xiao was just talking to himself; he didn't expect the System to rush to answer.

Isn't that just giving yourself away?

Lin Xiao helplessly covered his forehead, "Fine, fine, I know it was you."

[Ah? How did you find out!]

"..."

Lin Xiao often wondered if he would be infected and become a fool himself by being bound to this silly System every day.

[Oh well, anyway, Host, you must catch the "ghost" through your own efforts!]

[Even if you know the truth in advance, it's useless. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must catch them with the stolen goods; catching a "ghost" also requires real evidence!]

"Alright, alright, I got it!"

Lin Xiao waved his hand impatiently.

After speaking, he planned to go and discuss with Principal Han to see if he could stay here for a few more days.

But as soon as he turned around, he found that those little faces at the doorway were full of shock.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao asked, puzzled.

The few of them hesitated for a long time, not daring to speak.

Only Lin Wanwan mustered the courage to ask, "Little brother, just, just now, who were you talking to?"

"Uh, no one."

Lin Xiao realized that his rant at the System just now seemed to have been discovered.

"But, but we all saw it. You were standing there, your expressions and movements were changing, just as if you were talking to someone."

As Lin Wanwan spoke, her voice couldn't stop trembling.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh, so he deliberately asked in confusion, "Oh? But there is no one else here?"

"Yeah, there is no one else here!"

Lin Wanwan was getting a bit anxious.

The others also had looks on their faces as if they were about to cry.
