Chapter 209 -209: Summoning the Pen Spirit
“You child, shouldn’t you be hurrying to speak up?” Sun Qin opened her mouth urgently, urging him on, “You’ve already attracted such trouble, do you think your life is too long or what?”
“You little rascal, what on earth have you done? Spill it all out.” Zhou Huai’an’s tone also became stern, “This is a matter of life and death for you. Think carefully and don’t leave out a single word.”
“It’s… it’s just…” Zhou Shaohua stuttered, finally gritting his teeth, “We played the pen spirit game.”
“Pen spirit?” Zhong Nianyao realized, then immediately reacted with a stern look in her eyes, “You? Who do you mean by ‘you’? Speak up, hurry!”
Summoning the pen spirit isn’t something one person can do on their own; surely others were involved. Now that Zhou Shaohua has run into trouble, it’s certain the others aren’t safe either.
“Brother, you’ve really got guts!” Zhao Xuanglang stepped forward, it was unclear whether he was being sarcastic or truly admiring, “Others flee at the sight of ghosts, and you go and invite trouble directly to your doorstep.”
“What am I supposed to say to you, child! With all the things you could play with, why choose something like this? Now look what’s happened, you’ve nearly lost your life over it.”
If Zhou Shaohua hadn’t still been lying weakly in bed at that moment, Zhou Huai’an really would have wanted to give the kid a thrashing. That might have cleared his head a bit, to understand what things he should and shouldn’t do.
Right now, Zhou Shaohua was also filled with regret, “The final exams are nearly here, we just wanted to have a bit of fun, who would have thought there really are ghosts…”
Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhou Shaohua with a piercing gaze, “Exactly how many of you played the pen spirit, and what happened? Tell me quickly. Don’t omit any details. If I’m not mistaken, it wasn’t just you who had an accident. Also, you’re still not out of danger.”
“You are only temporarily safe now. If we don’t resolve the issue with that evil ghost, you are still going to lose your life.”
After hearing Zhong Nianyao’s words, Zhou Shaohua grew even more afraid. He dared not hide anything and hastily told everything about how they had summoned the pen spirit.
It turned out that with final exams approaching, several of them hadn’t done much reviewing, so they thought of asking for help from the pen spirit, which is mentioned in folk legends.
Of course, they didn’t truly believe they could summon the pen spirit; they just thought it would be fun to try, and what if they actually succeeded!
Even to set the mood, they had purposefully chosen the school’s forbidden grounds, the fourth floor of an abandoned teaching building’s chemistry lab. There had once been a fire there, where several students doing experiments were burned alive. Afterwards, some claimed to have seen ghostly figures appearing in the lab during the early morning hours.
Later, a security guard for the building saw a fire in that lab again during the night, and even heard cries for help.
Not daring to delay, the guard immediately called the fire department and notified the school. But by the time the fire department and the school authorities arrived, they found that nothing had actually happened.
Many people said that the guard must have been too sleepy and had a hallucination. However, the guard insisted that he really did see it.
After that, ghostly figures started to appear in that building from time to time.
Later on, several students committed suicide there. Moreover, there was no warning before they took their own lives. One of them even had plans ready for a trip but suddenly committed suicide.
The rumors about the haunted building grew more intense, and whether it was because of the rumors or concern for the students’ safety, the building was eventually sealed off.
However, some daring students would later go to this building for adventure, and no incidents were heard of.
This time, they had specifically chosen this building, and even the very classroom where the fire had started.
They sat on the chairs, each holding a pen, with their hands crossed in pairs, back of hand to back of hand, the pens placed where fingers crossed, then all four hands held aloft, chanting sincerely, “Pen spirit, pen spirit, you are my past life, I am your present life, if you have arrived, please draw a circle…”
The group kept chanting, treating it as a game without complete seriousness.
However, as a cold breeze blew through, all four of them couldn’t help but shiver. Immediately, they felt as though an invisible force was controlling the pens in their hands.
“Pen spirit, pen spirit, is it you who has come?” Ling Chao excitedly asked.
Then, their pen slowly moved over the piece of paper on the table to the word “yes.”
Suddenly, all four became excited and started asking all sorts of questions. Of course, they didn’t forget to ask the key question about the scope of the final exams.
After getting the answers, all four were very happy.
Finally, after asking many questions, they thought about sending the pen spirit away.
But what they didn’t expect was that after they said, “Pen spirit, pen spirit, we have finished asking our questions, please leave now!” their hands seemed to be glued to the pen; they couldn’t take them away at all. Even the pen in their hands started to scribble wildly on the paper, as if the pen spirit was angry.
At this point, the group finally became scared.
But there was nothing they could do except keep chanting, “Pen spirit, pen spirit, we have finished asking our questions, please leave now!”

As time went on, the fear in their hearts deepened. They were desperate to throw away the pen and escape the place.
In the end, nobody knows how, but Wu Guangji suddenly let go of the pen, followed by the others.
The moment they let go, the temperature in the room seemed to drop below zero all at once.
Frightened, they hurriedly fled the building.
It was only after leaving the building that they felt a wave of warmth over their bodies.
“Are we… are we safe now?” Chu Xu patted his chest, still feeling terrified, “There won’t be any problems, right?”
“Bad luck doesn’t stick, but good luck does,” Ling Chao hastened to say, “We’ve already escaped, of course we’re alright now!”
“But, I always feel there’s something strange in my heart,” Zhou Shaohua expressed his unfounded fears, “Do you think we should find a master to exorcise the evil?”
“It’s nothing,” Chu Xu waved his hand with a somewhat bold heart, “Aren’t we fine now? Don’t overthink it, nothing will happen.”
