Ye Yuqiao grabbed Chen Hao's arm and shook her head repeatedly, "He didn't come for you, don't overthink it. We'll ask him what exactly happened after his Yin Soul appears."

"It's all my fault!" At this moment, Tang Chao suddenly clasped his head with both hands, his eyes filled with self-reproach. "I could have saved him, but I just froze!"

Then Ye Yuqiao shook Chen Hao's arm and gave him a look, signaling him to console Tang Chao. In this world, aside from Chen Hao, there was no one else she felt the need to actively care about and inquire after.

Chen Hao looked into Ye Yuqiao's eyes, and after a long while, he calmed his mind, then turned to Tang Chao, patting his shoulder to comfort him, "Brother Chao, don't think too much! I just used Nether Vision, and there were no ghosts attached to his body."

At this time, the Yin Soul of the boy who had killed his roommate and then died in front of Chen Hao and the others after jumping from the building finally left his body. Looking exactly as he did right before his death, his Yin Soul's head also had a gaping hole, and his face was covered in blood that kept flowing.

"Ah!" After seeing his own corpse, the boy let out a scream, and then began to howl loudly, "I'm dead! How could I be dead!"

"Fellow student," Chen Hao extended his trembling hand and gently patted the boy's Yin Soul on the shoulder. After thinking for a bit, he continued, "The dead cannot be resurrected, so you should mourn!"

For Chen Hao at this moment, consoling the deceased himself was an incredibly vexing task. But since he could think of no more suitable words, he could only repeat what was normally said to console the family of the deceased to the Yin Soul of the boy.

"Who are you?" The boy turned back to look at Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and Tang Chao, crying and asking.

"We are Onmyojis from the Yin Yang Master Association. Can you tell me why you suddenly lost your senses and killed your roommate, and then committed suicide by jumping from the building?"

"I killed my roommate! I committed suicide!" The boy said in shock. His face smeared with blood made it difficult to discern his expression at that moment.

"Yes, don't you know about these?" Chen Hao asked dubiously, pointing at the four blood-written words on the ground and then continued, "Did you write these words right before dying, 'Return My Mother'?"

"Return My Mother?" The boy's tone was full of surprise, "My mom is doing very well, how could I possibly write these words!"

"So you mean you don't know anything?" Chen Hao furrowed his brows, "Can you think back carefully, what happened just two minutes ago?"

The boy murmured as he recalled, "I remember our class monitor came to the dorm to notify us to assemble at the gymnasium, so I got up, then I got out of bed and dressed."

Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps came, followed by an anxious and urgent voice of a boy shouting, "Classmates, do not panic, remain calm!"

Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and Tang Chao turned their heads toward the direction of the footsteps and shouts, only to see two school police officers and four policemen rushing toward them.

Quickly, the school police and policemen arrived in front of the trio, one of the school officers asked, "Students, are you all right? Do you need to go to the hospital for psychological counseling?"

Meanwhile, another school police officer said urgently into his walkie-talkie, "A student has committed suicide by jumping from the dormitory building in the middle of the school road, send an ambulance quickly."

"We're fine, we don't need psychological counseling," Chen Hao shook his head at the school police in front of him. Then, pointing to the dormitory where the boy had committed suicide, he said, "He stabbed his roommate with a knife before committing suicide by jumping."

"Ah!" The school police officer's face immediately showed terror, then looking back at the four policemen behind him, he said urgently, "Please, two of you, follow me to that dormitory upstairs."

After the school police took two policemen away, Ye Yuqiao suddenly shook Chen Hao's arm in a panic, and at the same time voiced in Chen Hao's mind, "The boy's Yin Soul is gone!"

Chen Hao turned his head in surprise, and just as Ye Yuqiao had said, in a matter of seconds, the Yin Soul of the boy who had jumped to his death had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"What's going on?" Chen Hao inwardly exclaimed in shock.

"I'm not sure," Chen Hao's voice echoed in his own mind, "Perhaps your concern is justified, and this could be related to the red-dressed ghost in the mirror."

Hearing Ye Yuqiao say this, Chen Hao began to look around, trying to spot where there might be a mirror nearby.

"Students, are you locals? If so, go home and rest for two days and wait for the school's notice to resume classes; if not, please gather in the gymnasium!" At this moment, another campus police officer came over and told the three of them.

"We're all locals, we'll head home now!" Tang Chao said.

Hence, Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and Tang Chao could only leave helplessly.

After leaving the comprehensive university, Chen Hao and Tang Chao dropped Ye Yuqiao home first, then hurried to the Yin Yang Master Association.

Since the comprehensive university had several murder cases in one day with over a dozen students dead, the situation was extremely serious. Therefore, Chen Hao convened an emergency meeting with all the experienced Onmyoji within the Association to see if they could identify the true culprit behind the bizarre murders and find a way to deal with the malefactor.

Once back at home, Ye Yuqiao sat alone on the sofa. Although she had parted ways with Chen Hao, she kept communicating with him through the Nether King's Heart, discussing the murder case.

After chatting for twenty minutes, Chen Hao, who had arrived at the Yin Yang Master Association, had to attend a meeting, and their conversation paused.

After stretching her limbs, Ye Yuqiao lay down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

Suddenly, feeling a strange aura approaching, Ye Yuqiao abruptly opened her eyes in her sleep, her face filled with vigilance. She quickly got up from the sofa and squinted, scanning her surroundings.

Half a minute later, no longer sensing that strange aura, the vigilance on Ye Yuqiao's face faded, and she closed her eyes and asked Chen Hao, "Asshole, I'm hungry, when are you coming back?"

Soon, Chen Hao's heartfelt words echoed in her mind, "Still in the meeting, Your Majesty the Queen, have some snacks for now."

After a light snort, Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes and muttered "asshole" somewhat displeased.

Then, Ye Yuqiao got up and returned to her room, sat down at her vanity table, and picked up a comb to tidy her disheveled hair.

However, as she combed, Ye Yuqiao felt a hint of oddness. She looked at the mirror, feeling that there was something unusual in its reflection. Then, under her gaze, she saw the mirror beginning to distort.

An invisible force was emanating from the mirror, enveloping her.

"Return my mother!" Soon after, Ye Yuqiao vaguely heard someone say this. The voice was very strange, like that of an infant's, high-pitched yet indistinct.

Not long after, the invisible force disappeared.

Seeing the twisted mirror return to normal, Ye Yuqiao furrowed her brows and murmured, "This is the Nether King's Power!"
