420 Chapter 420

Mo Ze Chen took a while to read over the paper again before coming over to Lin Fan waving it as he said, "Boss, this seems like it's something important."

Lin Fan came out of his meditative state and turned to look at Mo Ze Chen, seeing the piece of paper he was waving. He reached his hand out and Mo Ze Chen handed it over for him to take a look at.

,m This piece of paper was actually a complete newspaper, but it wasn't a normal newspaper.

This was an issue of the school's newspaper and most of the articles were written by the kids. Most of the articles involved the various matters around the school and didn't have much to do with Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen, but there were a few articles that had caught Lin Fan's attention.

There were a few articles that reported on the various events that were happening around the city, events that were big enough to affect the entire city. For example, there was an article that talked about the reveal of the newly built fountain in the center of the town.

According to the article, this fountain was built in honour of their saviour that had just saved them all from a disaster. The opening ceremony would be held in just another week.

But what Lin Fan cared about the most was the picture of the statue in the fountain. He hadn't been looking carefully the first time, but now that he was looking at a picture of it, he realized that while the body was different, the face was one that he recognized. This face came from one of the most famous statues on earth, the Venus De Milo.

He had seen it several times back when he was on earth and he had even secretly plotted to steal it before, but that was quickly shut down by his father...Of course, that's a story for another time.

The fact that this statue had the face of the Venus De Milo made Lin Fan even more certain that this saviour that was mentioned in this article was definitely from earth. But if he had saved them from the disaster that plagued them, why did he suddenly disappear and leave all these secret messages in these ruins. At the same time, how did all the people of this town suddenly turn into ghosts?

Was there something else that he didn't know about or was there another disaster that befell these people that his reincarnation senior couldn't deal with?

However, no matter how many clues of the past there were in this newspaper, there wasn't a single clue to how to solve their current predicament. After all, there was nothing that told them what they were supposed to do or how they would be able to stop the ghosts.

Would they have to fight their way through the ghosts until they eliminated all of them?

But that wasn't possible either since Lin Fan had seen ghosts that he had been certain were dead come back to life and start chasing them again.

He could feel that there were faint wisps of life energy in the air, which meant that there was most likely an array that was set up around the school to heal these ghosts.

If that were the case, how could he defeat them all?

Then there had to be another way to solve this.

Lin Fan went back into reading the newspaper while Mo Ze Chen went back to searching the desk in front since there were still more pieces of paper in it. He had seen that Lin Fan hadn't been able to find anything, so he had gone back to searching for any clues.

As Lin Fan was about to give up, he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eyes.

It was another article that had caught his attention, but unlike the previous articles that were about various events found throughout the city, this one was actually about the school itself.

This was an article that had an interview with the principal of the school.

It wasn't the article that caught Lin Fan's attention, but rather what it focused on. In the interview, the principal introduced his special pen to the students that interviewed him.

He had said that this pen was something that had been passed down to him from the previous principal and it had been passed down through succeeding principals for generations. It was the most valuable thing in his opinion in this entire school, even though the pen itself was only a cheap gold pen.

The principal said that this pen had been used to sign all the important documents of the school and it embodied the spirit of academics in this school, but based on how the article slowly trailed off in the end, it was clear that the kids became tired of writing this article since it was too boring for them.

But that didn't matter to Lin Fan because he had found the information that he had needed.

When Lin Fan thought of this pen, he remembered the word that had been left for him on the podium in the courtyard. That one word that was written in Chinese said "pen", so it must have meant something special.

This was the only clue related to a pen that he had found in this school and it was the pen of the principal, who was technically the highest authority in a school, so it should be referring to this.

So far, the mysterious Chinese words that only he could see hadn't led him wrong just yet, so Lin Fan was willing to take this risk.

After thinking this through, Lin Fan turned to Mo Ze Chen and said, "Did you find anything related to the principal's office?"

Mo Ze Chen had been focused on digging through the desk and searching through all the materials, so he was caught off guard when he heard this. However, after he recovered, he suddenly turned to look at Lin Fan and asked, "Boss, what do you need information on the principal's office for?"

Then after a pause, Mo Ze Chen suddenly looked like he realized something as he said, "Did you find a clue?"

Lin Fan ignored his questions and just said, "Did you find anything on the principal's office?"

Mo Ze Chen pouted his lips since Lin Fan didn't answer his question, but he still went to the documents that he had placed on the table.

For someone that was quite impulsive, Mo Ze Chen was surprisingly good at keeping things organized. He had placed all the different documents that he had found in piles on the table, splitting them based on what they were about.

The pile that he picked up was a pile of documents related to the school that he had found. He dug through this pile until he found a certain piece of paper which he brought over for Lin Fan to read.

As Lin Fan read it over, he saw that it was a letter from the principal's office to the teacher of this classroom, talking about a certain student. However, the one thing that he needed wasn't here.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mo Ze Chen, "Do you see the location of the principal's office on here?"

Mo Ze Chen shook his head and said, "Why would we need that?"

Lin Fan slapped the top of Mo Ze Chen's head and said, "Why else would I be asking you about the principal's office?"

Mo Ze Chen rubbed his head as he muttered, "But you didn't say anything like that, you just said that you wanted information on the principal's office."

Lin Fan was surprised for a bit and he thought about what he said before realizing that Mo Ze Chen was right. He had never asked about the location of the principal's office.

Lin Fan felt a bit awkward on the inside, but he still had a calm look on his face as he said, "Well I'm telling you now that I want the location of the principal's office."

As the boss, naturally Lin Fan had his image to care about, so he couldn't easily admit his mistake. The only thing he could do now was double down.

Mo Ze Chen heard this and gave a nod before falling into thought. After a bit of thought, he went over to another pile of documents, but this time this pile was filled with various miscellaneous documents.

After looking through them, Mo Ze Chen suddenly pulled out one that was rather big before bringing it over for Lin Fan.

When Lin Fan looked at it, he was surprised to see what it was.

It was actually a map of the entire school and based on the map, the school was quite large. It was perhaps just as large as the campuses of universities back on earth.

Lin Fan was confused why there would be this kind of map in this classroom, but after seeing the various markings that were made on it, he came to a conclusion. This was probably the classroom of a teacher that was rather clumsy, so they must have easily gotten lost, hence the map.

But that was a good thing for Lin Fan since with this map, he was able to easily find the principal's office.

Surprisingly, the principal's office wasn't on the first floor, but rather it was on the second floor with them. In fact, it was actually quite close to Lin Fan's current location!
