CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 32: CITYWIDE NIGHTMARE?

The director rubbed his temples, truly at his wit’s end.

Li Qinghong couldn’t help but become serious as well: "... I clearly remember sensing the emergence of ghostly creatures from the bottom of the lake, but if the director himself went to check and found no trace, then this ghostly creature is quite terrifying."

The two mentors agreed, "Scary enough that we must report to the capital immediately!"

Lu Ya shook her head: "A ghostly creature that could deceive a Yue Realm cultivator, is that possible? If so, humanity would’ve been long gone!!"

Everyone was speechless, quickly thinking for a moment: "Sister Lu does have a point. The Ghost Planet, while bizarre, isn’t that bizarre.

They are semi-energy bodies, even if they have illusion skills, they can’t perfectly deceive anyone."

"That’s right, cultivators can use methods to smell the faint stench on a ghost and feel the energy fluctuations..."

"I suspect that perhaps this ghostly creature failed to be born and dissipated into smoke."

Mentors discussed back and forth.

Lu Ya: "I’m too lazy to guess, let’s just purify everyone present and add a layer of light protection."

"During this time, just increase patrols and there shouldn’t be any problems."

As she spoke.

The noblewoman raised her hand gracefully, casting a light magic spell, and the entire activity center became filled with a dense light atmosphere, as if enveloped in a mist of gold.

People breathed the golden mist, feeling at ease, their eyes shimmering with light.

Children, their parents, security guards, and logistics personnel all felt happy and satisfied, their spirits seemed to be purified.

Spellcasting completed.

The noblewoman confidently said, "Old Brother Cheng, did you see? There really isn’t any ghostly creature lurking in humans..."

Upon seeing this.

The director breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Good. Thank you."

"No thanks needed."

Below the stage.

The mothers looked at each other.

"Is it the third Guhuo bird incident?"

"Oh dear, can’t these disgusting things ever be eradicated? Every time I see the news about so many missing children, I get chills... sigh!"

"These Exotic Star invaders, truly detestable!"

"Um... did you notice? The director seems very panicked this time, could there really be a Guhuo bird hiding away? Escaping the director’s purge?"

"Yes... but it might not be hiding, it could have failed to be born!"

"Um..."

Some mothers are skeptical: "In any case, let’s be extra cautious these days..."

Even though the security level at Demigod Kindergarten is extremely high, the fact that a ghostly creature could disappear right under the director’s nose raises some degrees of panic.

The director reassured everyone: "Don’t be afraid, I will patrol day and night, and every three days, I’ll invite Teacher Lu to use spells on your wrists. If it dares to appear and harm, I’ll arrive within two seconds, certainly faster than it."

"Alright, disperse now, live normally, and don’t be scared."

The director waved his hand.

Yet even with the director’s assurances.

The tension within the park rose slightly, many mothers were anxious—even with security guards constantly accompanying them.

One day went by without incidents.

Two days went by without incidents.

Three days went by without incidents.

On the fourth day, the director invited Aunt Lu over, who used light magic to purify the children and staff of the kindergarten while also blessing wristbands, the whole process resembling a ritual.

Xu Ran felt helpless.

The director is seriously engaging in a battle of wits and courage with thin air.

He certainly thinks that the weird ghostly creature is still lurking in the park, and is doing everything possible to ensure the children’s safety...

Xu Ran: "... Had I known, I wouldn’t have casually slain that Guhuo bird... helpless."

Thought this ritual business would only go on for a few times, lasting over ten days and then it would be over.

But the director couldn’t ease his mind, and organized a ritual every three days for a whole month!

Every single time purifying the entire park.

Undoubtedly, the director’s battle of wits and courage with thin air reached an intense phase.

A month flew by quickly.

Everyone noticed the director’s dark circles were as deep as a panda’s.

"What happened to the director? He looks exhausted and his spirit seems weak?"

"I heard the director couldn’t sleep at night, often appearing on the canopy of a tree or a rooftop within the park, surveying the entire kindergarten..."

"Once, during my night shift, I saw the director standing by the lake for an hour."

"Is the director still searching for that ghostly creature?"

"Yes, the director is also afraid that ghostly creature might harm the children..."

"No, why do I feel like the director is the one possessed by the ghostly creature?"

Someone suddenly had a wild idea.

"Stop talking nonsense! Stop talking nonsense!"

"..."

Xu Ran: "... Sigh, I never imagined that my unintentional act would cause the director to engage in a battle of wits in his later years..."

Seeing the haggard and exhausted director.

Xu Ran held his expression still, revisiting the saddest thing in his life once again.

"Director, I think you’re overthinking."

Li Qinghong: "Yes, director, perhaps that ghostly creature was just unlucky, so it failed to be born and vanished! The children are fine, why worry?"

The director gritted his teeth: "I must fight it! If in two months it still hasn’t come out to harm anyone, then maybe I’m overthinking it."

No ghostly creature can endure for two months without causing harm.

So the director held his breath, determined to prove himself in this duel with the ghostly monster! To restore his lifelong reputation!

Xu Ran: "..."

Scared!

Terribly scared!

He decided to keep this secret forever to himself!

Because if the director found out it was his silent action that dealt with the Guhuo bird, causing the director sleepless nights for two months, the director would definitely skin him alive!
