Upon hearing Luo Chao's words, Tang Tianyi gently shook her head and sighed, "Of course I have to deal with it. I illegally entered a site blocked by the police in the middle of the night, and someone died. If I leave Jiang Xuming's corpse there, the police will definitely investigate, and eventually the investigation will lead to me."

"So how did you handle his body?" Luo Chao asked, with a faint sense of foreboding rising within him. Knowing Tang Tianyi well, he suspected that Tang Tianyi might have secretly taken Jiang Xuming's body back to the laboratory for some horrifying human experiments!

Thus, as soon as Luo Chao asked the question, he regretted it, wishing he could slap himself if he could.

"Gone." Tang Tianyi suddenly said something completely out of context.

"Gone? What's gone?" Luo Chao's attention was caught by Tang Tianyi's inexplicable words, and he quickly asked back.

"The corpse." Tang Tianyi answered indifferently.

"The corpse? You mean... Jiang Xuming's body?" Luo Chao continued to ask.

"That's right." Tang Tianyi nodded, "That night I tried to find Jiang Xuming's body under the moonlight shining through the window. But after searching for a long time, I realized his body was gone..."

"How could it be gone? A living person... oh no, a corpse can't just vanish into thin air, can it?" Luo Chao asked awkwardly with a smile.

"I don't know." Tang Tianyi shook her head with a confused expression.

"What do you mean you don't know? Was there not even a little bloodstain on the classroom floor? Even if a trace is hard to find, he's dead. He couldn't just run away by himself, could he?" Luo Chao felt helpless about Tang Tianyi's narrative.

"That's the strangest part." Tang Tianyi seemed to be reminded of something by Luo Chao and quickly said, "Not only the corpse, but I also found that the blood which had flowed out from Jiang Xuming's body was all gone!"

"Even the blood is gone? How is that possible?!" Luo Chao looked incredulous.

"It's indeed impossible, but it actually happened. So... that's why I said I was scared that everything I saw that night was just a hallucination, even possibly that Jiang Xuming was just a figment of my imagination, and the terrifying experiment too. Maybe the whole process was just a delusion resulting from my mental breakdown." Tang Tianyi rubbed her forehead, looking very distressed.

Immediately, she continued, "Until just now, when you said you could see what's inside the Super Ion Isolator, I then confirmed that everything that happened that night was real, not my hallucination!"

"I see, no wonder you agreed to help instantly when I mentioned on the phone about the hospital being haunted. You actually wanted to confirm for yourself that you're not the only one suspecting the existence of ghosts in the world, am I right?" Luo Chao finally understood completely.

But... where exactly did Jiang Xuming's corpse go?

Could it be that the Pen Immortal has the ability to move human corpses?

But even if the Pen Immortal could move human corpses, it surely wouldn't be able to move all the blood without a trace, right?

Luo Chao pondered for a long time, unable to comprehend. Even with his mind palace activated, he couldn't solve this mystery.

Firstly, the matter itself is too mysterious; secondly, there is insufficient evidence and clues.

Without enough clues to support a reasonable explanation just based on Tang Tianyi's narration, the mystery remained unsolved for Luo Chao.

If one explains it forcibly without a deduction process, it is not solving a mystery; it's merely speculating with subjective emotions!

Tang Tianyi finished sharing her personal experience and the experiment to summon the Pen Immortal, and finally, it was Luo Chao's turn to reveal his perspective and conclusion about the matter.

"You're right, Luo Chao, I'm done. Now you share your conclusions." Tang Tianyi said softly.

Despite the several interruptions due to Luo Chao's questions, Tang Tianyi finally managed to finish recounting her personal experience, and she was already eager to hear Luo Chao's thoughts on the matter.

Though Tang Tianyi felt that Luo Chao's character had some issues, she still admired his vast experience and knowledge.

"Cough, cough." Luo Chao rubbed his throat a few times, cleared his voice, and finally spoke.

"Based on what you said, I have initially come up with the following conclusions. Although they may not be entirely correct, it's likely to be 70-80 percent accurate. Of course, whether you believe it or not is another matter."

"First, let me talk about how the Pen Immortal kills. I recall you said that at that time, you and Jiang Xuming recited the summoning chant for the Pen Immortal, repeating it forty-nine times before any anomalies appeared, right?" Luo Chao said, looking at Tang Tianyi.

"That's right." Tang Tianyi nodded cutely.

"Tell me honestly, after hearing Jiang Xuming's words, did you think that as long as you recited the chant forty-nine times, the Pen Immortal might appear?" Luo Chao asked.

"Well… after Jiang Xuming said so, I kept counting the numbers in my mind, and indeed, after counting to forty-nine…" Tang Tianyi answered.

Luo Chao nodded, "Then, you said when Jiang Xuming went to close the window, you were worried another window might suddenly shut, injuring Jiang Xuming, and that's precisely what happened."

"Later, when the fan started spinning wildly and you wanted to escape the classroom, you feared the classroom door wouldn't open, and indeed, it wouldn't. You tried to kick the door open but feared it wouldn't be kicked open, and indeed it couldn't be kicked open."

"Next, you feared the fan above would fall down, and then you really saw the screws on the fan starting to loosen."

Tang Tianyi listened to Luo Chao's summary, seemingly not understanding what Luo Chao wanted to convey, so she asked, "Your summary is very precise, but how does this relate to the Pen Immortal's method of killing?"

"Hmm?" Luo Chao raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected that Tang Tianyi, a genius scientist, would become so slow in thought when faced with problems outside of science.

But then Luo Chao thought, maybe this has something to do with her lack of emotional intelligence. After all, when solving practical problems, people mostly rely on emotional intelligence rather than intelligence.

High emotional intelligence people may not be very smart, but they can thrive in society for this very reason!

With this realization, Luo Chao didn't answer Tang Tianyi's question directly but asked instead, "Miss Tang, haven't you understood my point yet? Didn't you notice the common point in the series of events you just mentioned?"
