"Don't!"

Just as Mo Fan was about to stop him, he discovered that the soul bottle had been opened by Lin Changqing. The ghost inside also turned into a shadow and quickly jumped out. However, he did not succeed in escaping, but was confined in the conference room by a thin layer of light curtain.

"Hmm... So that's how it is..."

Lin Changqing ignored the ghost that ran out, but studied the empty soul bottle. The ghost found that it could not escape, so it began to look around. And launched an indiscriminate mental attack on everyone, but...

"Hmph!"*2

Deans Xia Xinman and Qu Yaocen snorted coldly, and a holy light enveloped everyone, dissolving the invisible mental attack. At the same time, a burst of magic power rolled, firmly binding the ghost in mid-air.

"Wow! Dean! How did you do that? My previous magic had no effect on him at all! I don't care, you have to teach me."

Lan Kexin's eyes lit up when she saw this scene. The feeling of not being able to hit someone was too uncomfortable. Now that she saw that the dean was able to catch the ghost, Lan Kexin immediately expressed her desire to learn.

"Haha, okay. I'll teach you next semester. Just don't complain about being tired then."

Xia Xinman did not refuse but smiled kindly, as if it was not her who caught the ghost.

"Yeah, I definitely won't complain about being tired."

Lan Kexin also promised solemnly, but... she would regret it...

"Huh? This ghost seems a little conflicted?"

Dean Yiran looked at the ghost and said.

"It's a bit strange. The soul is not pure. It seems that many souls are mixed together."

Qu Yaocen replied, and then Dean Qu Yaocen waved his hand, and the ghost began to scream silently.

"Don't try it casually. The ghost's cry will strike your soul directly. It's just blocked by Yao Cen now."

Dean Xia Xinman said to Mo Fan and the other three. Chen Xi and the others nodded repeatedly, but only Mo Fan looked at the suffering ghost with excitement.

"Okay. It seems that this ghost is a blood mage from the past. After his death, he escaped into this soul bottle and devoured all the souls sealed inside to prolong his life. Recently, it may be because the mouth of the soul bottle loosened, allowing him to escape from it. But the soul has restrictions, so he can only move around the castle. He will attack adventurers and absorb their souls. But he is afraid of attracting attention, so he only absorbs part of them, causing them to lose their memory and other symptoms.

You said before that you felt repulsed when you entered the dead forest. Maybe it was him. After all, he is a blood mage and the former master. He can influence the place to a certain extent. As for why they feel repulsed, it may be that the souls he devoured don't want to see others being harmed by him. "

Qu Yaocen started to explain. His hands also stopped moving. The ghost's spirit became very thin. Qu Yaocen had just sucked out a lot of white gas. I think it was the souls that were devoured, but now they have become soul fragments.

"Not only that, this soul bottle will automatically absorb the wandering souls nearby. There are many undead creatures in the dead forest, but the number of ghost souls is far less than that of skeleton zombies. It must be because this soul bottle absorbed those souls. Maybe the souls of many people in that war were also absorbed by it."

Lin Changqing put down the soul bottle and added to Qu Yaocen's words.

Looking at the ghost that was about to dissipate, Mo Fan and the other three felt a little scared. After all, this was the blood mage who almost destroyed a country. If it weren't for the influence of those souls and the special effect of Xiyue's identity on ghosts, it would be difficult for them to hurt the ghost.

"...Okay, kids. You have done an excellent job on this mission. As a reward, each of you will receive 300 credits. We will also give you a special reward at the beginning of the next semester. Remember to ask your dean to claim it. Now, it's time for you to have a holiday. I wish you a happy new year."

The dean said to Mo Fan and the other three kindly. Mo Fan and the other three quickly stood up and responded, then left. After watching the four people leave, the dean's smile disappeared, and he frowned and said to the teachers.

"Yunhui, tell me what you found."

"Yes, the notes record at least three strongholds. Judging from the records, the scale seems to be no smaller than what they found, and there may be things like soul bottles inside. There are also five suspicious locations. These five are far away from Fenglai Country. According to the records of that year, the war was mainly within the territory of Fenglai Country, so the authenticity of these five places still needs to be verified."

"Three places? Well, you'll have to work harder. I'll give those three places to you. You can take a few teachers with you to deal with those places, so that they won't get wind of it and move away. As for the five places, you can let the five strongest teams in the academy go. After all, they are far away from Fenglai Country. Even if there are any, they are probably just blood slaves from the past. They won't be able to become popular. Let's go now."

"Ok."

After saying that, Yun Hui stood up and disappeared in the conference room.

"Changqing, is there anything special about that soul bottle?"

"In addition to sealing the soul, it also has the function of recognizing the owner. It has been confirmed that it is a magic tool. This ghost is its owner, so he does not kill all the souls inside and then devour them, but uses this soul bottle to slowly absorb them. In addition, I suspect that this ghost may have some triggering magic. After he dies, I am afraid that other places will receive the message."

“Is there any way to block this kind of information?”

"It's difficult. After all, I'm not good at studying soul magic. But if I can keep his soul hanging and prevent him from dying, then I can ensure that he can't send out any information."

"Okay, then I'll leave this ghost to you. Soul research... we can start now. When the time comes, Yao Cen, I'll trouble you to help me."

"Okay Dean."

Lin Changqing used the soul bottle to take the ghost back, and Qu Yaocen shone a ray of light on the ghost, which made it a little more alert and prevented it from dying.

"Dean, what about me?"

Xia Xinman said this with some anticipation. Thinking about being able to use magic at will, Xia Xinman was very excited.

"Um...Xin Man, this time...maybe you won't be needed. After all, we don't know if there are people in those places. Even if there are, they are probably as weak as this soul. How about this, you study those books first. If Yun Hui comes back and says they are a big threat, then I will let you go first. Is that...okay?"

"Well, okay, keep your word."

Xia Xinman sat back down with a look of disappointment on her face. Several deans chatted for a while and then left one by one.
