Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

Just as this physical probing was taking place at close range.

A bluish halo burst open in front of Lin Ye's retina.

"Ding! My Lord, please exercise self-restraint. System notification: A mature and alluring woman has been detected making physical advances towards you."

"To solidify your persona in the upcoming debunking livestream, please make a decision within three minutes!"

The light screen unfolds, clearly listing three options:

Option A: The Iron-Willed Materialist Warrior – He shoves Jiang Ling aside, snatches the electromagnetic detector, and slams it to the ground. He righteously and angrily rebukes her, "Women only slow down my lightning talisman drawing speed!"

[Reward: You will receive the title "Orphan of Cultivation". Consequence: Jiang Ling will think you're seriously insane and will immediately complain to Bureau Nine, demanding a replacement. Your ten million appearance fee will be completely wasted.]

Option B: A combination of science and charlatanism – taking over the probe as a convenient option.

With the calmest, most indifferent expression, he uttered the golden line, "We must believe in science," while secretly placing a concealment talisman on Jiang Ling's back to prevent her vital energy from being extinguished by a vengeful ghost tonight.

[Reward: 300 Official Points, upgraded version of the spell "Golden Light Divine Spell", and unlocked title: "Great Xia's First Scientific Advisor".]

[Option C: Go with the flow and pick up the girl on the spot—wrap yourself around Jiang Ling's slender waist and whisper in her ear, "I'll take care of your safety tonight."]

[Reward: Obtain the title "Master of Flirting". Consequence: Leng Yue and Shuang Xing will perform a live-action "tearing apart your husband" act right there in the living room, and you will spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.]

Lin Ye sighed heavily in his heart.

I choose B.

Lin Ye expressionlessly reached out his left hand and grabbed Jiang Ling's wrist, which was about to put the detector on him.

The intense heat of the Pure Yang Dao Body was transmitted through his palm.

Jiang Ling felt as if her wrist was being tightly gripped by a scorching hot iron clamp.

A warm current flowed down her wrist and into her body, completely dispelling the chill that Leng Yue had just caused.

"Miss Jiang."

Lin Ye maintained a deadpan expression, his voice completely flat.

"Before entering the ruins, we must implement electromagnetic shielding measures. Please maintain social distancing, and we must trust science."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye released his left hand.

Taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Ling stepped back, he gently patted her slender lower back with his right hand.

A thin, yellow paper talisman, as thin as a cicada's wing, silently penetrated the fabric under the guidance of Taoist true energy and stuck firmly to the lining of Jiang Ling's combat uniform.

This talisman can completely lock away the yang energy of a living person in her body, preventing her from becoming the target of everyone's attacks in the ghost realm tonight.

Jiang Ling was taken aback by Lin Ye's serious demeanor.

She felt the lingering tingling heat in her lower back, her face flushed slightly, and she took two steps back in a flustered manner.

"Okay, little scientist, I'll do whatever you say tonight."

Jiang Ling gave him a playful glare, her tone carrying a hint of compromise.

It was exactly 10 p.m.

On the street outside the main gate of Jiangda Affiliated Primary School.

A chilly autumn rain began to fall again from the sky.

Fine raindrops pattered on the roof of a black Lincoln parked by the roadside, making a monotonous rustling sound.

The entire street was cleared by the Ninth Inspectorate, and a long yellow police tape was put up.

Lin Ye pushed open the car door and stood in the rain.

He took out the [Soul-Suppressing Copper Coin Sword] from the system's storage space.

To avoid arousing suspicion among the millions of viewers in the live stream, Lin Ye had Wang Pangzi make a custom-made long, black, waterproof canvas cover to tightly wrap the magical artifact.

At the very top of the canvas cover, a plastic radar probe with a flashing red light was specially installed.

From a distance, this peerless magic sword looks exactly like a large handheld instrument used to detect underground metal.

Lin Ye was wearing a large white lab coat.

Underneath the lab coat, he wore a high-polymer bulletproof vest specially supplied by the Ninth Bureau. The four deep pockets of the lab coat were stuffed with newly drawn [Lightning Talisman] and [Three Yang Fire Talisman].

As the "scientific research secretary" for this operation, Leng Yue changed into a neatly tailored black OL suit skirt.

That striking silver hair was completely hidden under a black baseball cap.

She wore frameless glasses on her nose, held a dark blue folder in her hand for show, and wore black stiletto heels, exuding a cool and capable aura.

Froststar and Ayugu were left in the van as the second echelon's fire support, ready to provide backup at any time.

Chu Hongyan, wearing a black raincoat, stood inside the cordon to greet them.

"Mr. Lin."

Chu Hongyan lowered her voice, her expression grave.

"The live stream will start precisely one minute later, and the number of online reservations has already exceeded five million. Netizens throughout Jiangzhou and even across the country are watching this debunking live stream."

Chu Hongyan took a deep breath, her tone pleading.

"Remember, no matter what illogical things happen in it, you should guide the audience to think about physical phenomena and environmental effects."

Lin Ye expressionlessly raised the disguised metal detector in his hand and pressed the red plastic switch on it with his thumb.

The probe emitted a "beep beep" electronic sound.

"Captain Chu, don't worry, I'm a professional who has received nine years of compulsory education."

"My research topic tonight is the conduction mechanism of lightning between the human body's magnetic field and reinforced concrete walls."

Chu Hongyan's eye twitched again, and she could only nod reluctantly.

10:05 PM.

The live stream of Jiang Ling, a top adventure streamer with millions of followers, lit up on time.

"Good evening, everyone! I'm your host, Jiang Ling!"

In the video, Jiang Ling is holding a selfie stick with image stabilization in one hand, with a mature and charming professional smile on her face.

The red brick teaching building behind her appeared dark and lifeless under the cold night rain.

The live stream chat exploded the moment it started.

The text on the screen scrolled rapidly.

"Front row alert! Sister Ling is awesome! She actually went to Jiangda Affiliated Primary School!"

"The area around the school was completely sealed off during the day, how did Sister Ling manage to get official permission to get in? Her connections are incredibly powerful!"

"Who's that handsome young man in the white coat over there? It's a shame he's not in the entertainment industry!"

"That secretary in the black suit is amazing! I need her contact information!"

As Jiang Ling watched her popularity skyrocket, she gave the camera a charming wink.

"Stop guessing, everyone. Let me give you a proper introduction."

"This is Mr. Lin Ye, an officially appointed expert in physics and electromagnetism, and the person next to him is his chief research assistant."

Jiang Ling pointed the camera at Lin Ye's cold, expressionless face.

Tonight, we will use the most scientific instruments to expose the special effects hoax of last night's so-called paranormal video! Let's believe in science and reject superstition!

Lin Ye nodded obediently and uttered a few words expressionlessly:

"Science is the only truth."

The three of them crossed the cordon and officially entered the first-floor corridor of the red brick teaching building.

The moment I stepped into the stairwell.

The streetlights outside were completely swallowed up by an invisible barrier.

The holographic camera automatically switches to night vision mode.

The screen was immediately covered with a ghastly green filter, accompanied by a series of piercing "hissing" electronic noises.

The air was filled with a strong, foul odor, a mixture of moldy cement and formaldehyde.

"Clatter".

"Clatter".

Black water droplets seeping from the ceiling landed precisely on Lin Ye's white plastic lab coat, making a sticky, muffled sound.

The temperature in the corridor was frighteningly low.

Jiang Ling's face turned slightly pale, and she tightened her quick-drying clothes.

Fortunately, the concealment talisman that Lin Ye had placed on her lower back protected her, and the chill that could have frozen a living person was kept out.

She took a deep breath and tried to appear calm as she explained to the camera.

"Did you hear that, family members? That's the weird dripping sound from last night's video."

"In architecture, this is called 'hollow walls and water vapor infiltration'. Because this building is old, the underground water pipes broke, causing the sound of water to reverberate and amplify inside the hollow walls."

She turned the camera towards Lin Ye.

"Expert Lin, what discoveries did you make with your electromagnetic instrument?"

Lin Ye gripped the thirty-pound copper coin sword wrapped in canvas with both hands and casually swung it twice in mid-air.

The pure Yang energy inside the sword vibrated subtly, shattering the gloom that surged in from the front.

He stared at the night vision lens, his dead face expressionless.

"The air humidity here is over 90%, with a large amount of water vapor suspended in the air, which easily refracts light."

"This can easily create the physical illusion of a red scarf floating on the retina."

Lin Ye spoke in a deep tone, carrying an unquestionable sense of academic authority.

"All fear stems from insufficient firepower—no, from insufficient knowledge. We must trust science."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

"The way Expert Lin talks nonsense with such a straight face is so cool!"

"What kind of physical illusion is this?! That streamer was clearly terrified last night!"

"Wait! Look at the crack in the door behind Expert Lin!"

"Holy crap! High-energy warning! Protect yourself with bullet comments!"

While Lin Ye was giving a popular science explanation with his back to the end of the corridor.

In the overlapping blind spot where the beams of two flashlights cannot reach.

Inside the half-closed wooden door of the classroom for Class 2, Grade 3 at the end of the corridor.

A bright red scarf silently crawled out from above the dark crack in the door.

The red scarf remained untouched by any wind.

It stiffened and slowly in mid-air, transforming into a headless, blood-red serpent.

The red scarf silently crossed several meters and hovered behind Jiang Ling.

The two sharp red strips of cloth were slightly open, resembling a gaping maw ready to devour someone, slowly descending towards Jiang Ling's slender, snow-white neck.
