The ultimate master in the city

Chapter 89 The Date Seller Next Door

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengchen looked at Zhang Kang with suspicion, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? How did you cooperate?"

Zhang Kang shook his head. "I don't know!"

The girl named Zhang Qian said, "It's not his fault, we don't dare tell anyone."

Zhou Fengchen became interested and asked, "So, many of you have seen that old woman?"

Zhang Qian quickly shook her head. "No, no, we've never seen her. After Sun Hong died, the school sealed off the old toilet. The reason we know the old lady is still inside is because a few nights ago, a girl got drunk and accidentally went to the old toilet. When we went to look for her, we heard a strange old lady talking to her inside."

Zhou Fengchen jumped, "What's that girl's name? Where is she now?"

Zhang Qian said, "Her name is Hu Die. She hasn't been feeling well these past two days and has taken the day off. She should be back tomorrow."

Zhou Fengchen thought for a moment and asked, "Where's the old toilet? May I go take a look?"

Zhang Qian and the other two girls looked at each other and asked, "Does any of you know how to fix a computer?"

Zhang Kang pointed to himself, "I can!"

Next, Zhang Kang went to the dormitory and pretended to retrieve some tools. Then, the five of them went to the girls' dormitory, Building F.

After saying hello to the dormitory supervisor, the group went up to the fifth floor together.

There weren't many people on the fifth floor at the moment, and there wasn't a single person at all near the westernmost part of the corridor.

Zhang Qian and the other two girls were all very cautious and pale when they arrived here.

At the end of the corridor was a sheltered wall, and further in was an abandoned staircase with a walkway partitioned off by wooden planks next to it.

Zhang Qian pointed to the wooden board and whispered, "It's in there."

As she spoke, she quickly hid behind Zhou Fengchen, as if afraid that some ghost or monster might pounce on her.

"Stand still," Zhou Fengchen whispered, before walking toward the wooden board.

Zhang Qian and the other two girls, including Zhang Kang, watched intently. When they saw Zhou Fengchen lift the wooden board and walk in, they all gasped, as if something bad was about to happen.

The toilet was very clean. It had two squat toilets, divided into two washrooms by plastic panels, with gaps underneath.

Zhou Fengchen looked around, made a hand seal to sense the energy, and found no trace of yin energy!

He frowned, went inside, opened the window and looked out. Outside was a corner of the campus, all covered in grass and trees, pitch black. Further to the left, there seemed to be a playground.

After thinking for a moment, he left the restroom, placed the wooden board down, and asked, "What time is it now?"

Zhang Qian quickly took out her phone and glanced at it: "9:40."

Zhou Fengchen asked, "Can we wait here for two hours?"

Zhang Qian said, "You were sent by the school leaders, so you should be fine. The dormitory supervisor is forgetful and won't care."

The group went back to the corridor and arrived at Zhang Qian's dormitory. It was just like the boys' dormitory; the room was small and could only fit four beds.

Zhang Qian pointed to a bed by the door and said, "This is Hu Die's bed. She's not here, so please have a seat."

Zhou Fengchen nodded and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

Zhang Kang and Zhang Qian exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

After a while, a girl asked Zhou Fengchen, "Sir, does that old lady kill a lot of people? I heard that a lot of girls have died recently."

This was a difficult question to answer, so Zhou Fengchen could only give a perfunctory reply: "No, don't overthink it. Just do what you need to do. Since the school has hired someone to handle it, there shouldn't be any more problems."

The girls had a blind trust in the people the school had invited, and soon they started laughing and joking around. Zhang Kang was also a restless person, and since it was his first time staying overnight in the girls' dormitory, he was extremely excited. He ran over, and the four of them started chatting away together.

Meanwhile, the corridor outside gradually became lively, filled with various dialects, noises, the sound of slippers, the clattering of porcelain basins, and all sorts of other noises.

Zhou Fengchen sat motionless, silently calculating the time.

In the blink of an eye, midnight had passed. The outside world quieted down, and the two girls in the dormitory had fallen asleep at some point, leaving only Zhang Kang and Zhang Qian yawning and trying to stay awake.

Zhou Fengchen smiled and said, "You guys go to sleep first, I'll go out and take a look."

Both of them knew where he was going, and whispered, "Then... be careful."

Zhou Fengchen nodded, opened the door, and went out.

The corridor was deserted, the lights were dim, and when the wind blew, scraps of paper and torn plastic bags spun around.

Zhou Fengchen breathed a sigh of relief and quietly walked to the end of the corridor.

The abandoned stairwell behind the leeward wall was pitch black, and the toilet behind the wooden planks was unusually quiet.

Zhou Fengchen walked to the wooden board and gently pried it open, but accidentally made a sound.

"Crunch!"

The harsh scraping sound echoed through the stairwell.

Zhou Fengchen thought to himself that he had been careless. He reached behind the wooden board with his handprint and was about to feel it when he suddenly noticed that in the dark place under the abandoned corridor, there seemed to be a fluttering, old, hunched figure.

"What a vile beast!"

Zhou Fengchen sneered and jumped down through the gap in the stairs.

Jump down the stairs to the first floor, where there is a warehouse-like space filled with brooms, dustpans, and dusty double beds.

He activated his third eye and looked around. Strangely, although it was pitch black and quiet, there was nothing dirty about it!

Who was that hunched figure just now? Could I have been seeing things?

He scratched his head and slowly walked back to the fifth floor. As soon as he got to the fifth floor, he glanced casually in the direction of the old toilet and was stunned.

The wooden partition separating the toilet from the toilet has been opened!

He remembered clearly that when he went down, he didn't pry it open completely.

Was it a girl who came by, or was it some evil spirit playing tricks on me?

He carefully entered the toilet, where there was a faint smell of urine. The lights from the playground in the distance shone through the window, making the light somewhat hazy.

But the toilet was still empty.

Zhou Fengchen looked out the window, then at the girls' dormitory corridor outside, and looked puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, he walked into one of the squat toilets, closed the door, squatted down, and tried it out.

The space was very small, and the gaps below were dark, giving it a dangerous feel.

Zhou Fengchen couldn't help but wonder, what should he do if a pale hand suddenly reached out from outside?

Just then, a hoarse, deep, aged voice came from the squatting toilet next to him, "Young man, want some dates?"

Zhou Fengchen was startled by this sudden action, thinking to himself, "Okay, here it comes!"

"Going to the toilet? It stinks! Why are you eating dates?" Zhou Fengchen asked deliberately, wondering if this ghost had mental problems.

The hoarse voice said, "You can take it back to eat."

Zhou Fengchen said, "Hmm, that makes some sense."

The hoarse voice asked again, "Red dates or green dates?"

Zhou Fengchen asked, "Is there any explanation for this?"

The hoarse voice said, "Red dates are sweet, green dates are crisp!"

Zhou Fengchen said, "Bring those two here so I can take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the squat toilet next door, and then a white plate was stretched out from under the crack, with red dates on one side and green dates on the other.

"I want both!" Zhou Fengchen suddenly grabbed the white plate, threw it into the latrine, then jumped up and clung to the plastic sheet to look across.

He was stunned when he saw it; he never expected to see such a scene!
