The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Sure enough, when they returned to the Special Department, the old man’s complexion recovered, and a smile hung on his face, transforming him back into a smiling tiger.

Everyone curiously gathered around the scanning screen, eager to see what was inside the box.

”Empty?” The burly Queen Flower Lady was the first to shout.

Some people wanted to exclaim, but seeing the old man’s face turning unpleasant again, they dared not make a sound.

Several sharp intakes of breath followed.

Clearly, many people were greatly surprised.

Blank, without turning into strange colors, which meant there was no poison gas inside.

Since it’s an empty box, naturally, no one would go out of their way to put poison gas in it.

The old man reached out to open the box, but Little Taotie stopped him.

”It’s not empty!”

The old man’s hand paused.

Hua Jinyan followed suit, saying, ”It’s not empty.”

The old man could see Ghosts, but at that moment he saw the box was empty, so he called over several others who could see Ghosts, including Mo Haihao.

They shook their heads, none of them saw Ghosts.

Little Taotie pursed his lips and said, ”It’s not just one Ghost, it’s densely packed with dozens transformed into tiny Ghosts as small as fingernails.”

Hua Jinyan: ”Let’s count them as over a hundred.”

The Queen Flower Lady shivered: ”Ove... over a hundred?”

Despite looking burly and bold, she would scream all the way through a supernatural film.

Her ex-boyfriend sighed and handed her a mint candy.

The Queen Flower Lady was stunned for a moment, did not refuse, put it in her mouth, and asked vaguely: ”Do you carry it with you every day?”

The ex-boyfriend nodded.

The Queen Flower Lady murmured ”uh-huh” and said nothing more.

The ex-boyfriend’s eyes dimmed, he sighed lightly and said nothing as well.

Hua Jinyan was skilled in drawing, so the old man asked him to illustrate what he saw.

Soon, a depiction of hundreds of ghosts squeezed like sardines in a can appeared on paper.

If it weren’t genuine, it would be hard to draw it this vividly.

The old man stared at the drawing on the paper for a long time, eventually choosing not to open the box, instead taking it away.

”Everyone, go and rest.”

The old man went upstairs.

Since he was temporarily covering for someone, he didn’t have a house nearby, nor did he rent one. Ever since arriving at the Ancient Castle, he had been staying in Shen Cang’s office, sleeping on the sofa.

Lou Lan once suggested lending him an apartment, but he refused.

After he left, many people gathered around to look at the drawing, some even began discussing which of the hundred Ghosts looked the best.

Lou Lan whispered: ”Is it possible that the Ancient Pagoda was also meant to suppress these things?”

Everyone swiftly turned their gaze towards her.

Although she spoke softly, everyone there was alert and keen.

Lou Lan spread her hands: ”I’m just analyzing logically, don’t get so worked up.”

The Queen Flower Lady: ”Luckily, this box was dug up from under a stone. If it truly had been excavated from beneath the original location of the Ancient Pagoda, perhaps what you said might be true.”

Lou Lan: ”Is it possible that these things were never qualified to be buried under the Ancient Pagoda? They don’t appear fierce, so they were casually tossed under a rock.”

A series of sharp breaths echoed.

”Don’t get excited, I’ve already said, it’s just a logical analysis, merely speculation.”

”The thing is, what you said... makes sense.”

”Yeah, there’s some logic to it.”

”Following this line of reasoning, I think what you said isn’t wrong.”

”These tiny things indeed don’t look fierce, not like Evil Spirits. Under the Ancient Pagoda... could there be countless boxes like this buried?”

While everyone was engaged in heated discussion, Little Taotie raised his pink little shovel: ”There’s only one answer; let’s go uncover it now!”
