Chapter 608: Chapter 393: Yingnan City University! Yin Qi!!!_3

Lu Yuliang arrived at midnight with his elders, insisting on going to the most sensitive Building D. Considering the recent re-ignition of the old case, anyone could guess a connection.

However, no one pointed it out, and they all lowered their heads in tacit understanding, waiting for Lu Yuliang’s next instructions.

"Back then, I was also one of the main people in charge of that case." Lu Yuliang’s voice dropped slightly, carrying a subtle heaviness.

It was unclear whether he was explaining the purpose of this visit to Principal Zhang and others or if he was simply lost in the uncomfortable memories.

After a pause, he continued, "Principal Zhang, could you please lead the way?"

No one dared to ask another question.

The school leaders were well aware—back then, the entire city was watching that case, and the pressure on the investigators was like a mountain. But in the end?

After endless searching, not even a single usable clue was found, and finally, it could only be hastily shelved, becoming a regret in everyone’s hearts.

Now, hearing Lu Yuliang bring up the old matter, even from a few steps away, they could sense the resignation in his tone.

Several black cars, like lurking shadows, drove smoothly along the main road of the campus, the wheels gliding over the silent road, leaving only a slight noise.

They passed a few modern dormitory buildings with scattered lights and finally stopped in front of an exceptionally quiet building—here, in stark contrast with the surrounding bustle, even the air carried a stagnant chill.

Curiously, several high-power streetlights were specially installed outside this abandoned dormitory building.

The stark white light poured densely onto the walls and the ground, making the surroundings bright as day, instead giving the shadows a deeper intensity and an indescribable eeriness.

The two faded red characters of "D Building," illuminated by the streetlights, stood out prominently, etched on the mottled wall like an unerasable scar.

Lu Xuan, who had remained silent, was the first to get out of the car. He neither looked at the school leaders surrounding him nor paid attention to Lu Yuliang beside him. He simply slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the wall of the D Building dormitory.

The whole building was pitch black. All the windows were firmly nailed shut with heavy wooden boards, leaving not a single gap. Only the outlines of the dormitory doors from back then could be seen on the few ground-level doors welded shut with metal sheets.

Peering through the blurred glass on the door, one could only see the empty corridor extending into the depths of darkness.

In the corner, discarded desks and chairs were piled up in disorder, their twisted shadows stretching under the light like lurking monsters.

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan let out a very soft murmur from his throat, a fleeting golden gleam appeared in his eyes.

That golden gleam, sharp as a blade, swept across every corner of the D Building dormitory.

From the welded metal door seams to the nailed wooden window boards, even the mottled cracks on the walls were not spared, like a precise scanner, capturing every detail of the building in his eyes.

Moments later, Lu Xuan’s gaze suddenly fixed on a spot on the fifth floor, with his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

With his cultivation at the Embracing Elixir Realm, his perception far exceeded that of ordinary people, yet he clearly detected a trace of faint, incongruous yin chill.

—It was not the coldness brought by the night breeze, nor the damp chill from years of vacancy in the old building, but an elusive, shadowy aura.

Without a doubt, Lu Xuan, who had dealt with such entities for countless years, was more than familiar with this aura.

It’s yin energy!

This trace of yin energy was so faint that it almost blended with the night, evidently being firmly suppressed by something, preventing it from spreading.

Instantly, Lu Xuan made a judgment in his mind—precisely because of this, it posed no threat to human bodies.

Otherwise, given the nature of yin energy, it should have caused a disturbance many years ago, and D Building wouldn’t just be an "abandoned dormitory," remaining peacefully to this day.
