“Ding!”
“The female ghost is startled, gaining +10 merit, and +1 on her piano skills.”
With the corner of her eyes, the female ghost cautiously glanced at the iron hammer in Xu Yang’s hand, the whole ghost… shuddered!
A good person?
Helping you?
This… doesn’t seem right!
Just as she was lost in thought, Xu Yang swung the hammer and smashed it against the wall with a loud bang!
With that hit, he even used his magical power.
The female ghost noticed the clear indent from the hammer on the wall, surrounded by spider-web-like cracks.
“Ding!”
“The female ghost is startled, gaining +10 merit, and +1 on her piano skills.”
Xu Yang stepped on a chair, leaned slightly forward, and menacingly said, “Why aren’t you talking? Huh?”
“What should I say? Master, you… you didn’t ask.”
The female ghost was on the verge of tears.
Ever since she became a ghost, she had been living in fear in this piano room, not daring to take a single step out… She was afraid of being seen by others, and also feared that if she left the piano room, she might be attacked by the “monster”!
“Didn’t 1 ask?”
Xu Yang said, “1 heard that you committed suicide because you played with the pen fairy and were haunted by unclean spirits, causing you to have mental problems.”
“I… 1 didn’t commit suicide!”
The female ghost glanced at Xu Yang and noticed that although his attitude was harsh and his tone frightening, he was actually quite handsome with well-proportioned features. Feeling slightly more at ease, she said, “I was a music student in the art academy. A few years ago, pen fairy-related online films became very popular, so the pen fairy game started trending in the school.”
“At first, I just played it with my roommates in our dorm.”
“Later, we heard rumours that during the construction of this building, some bones and strange objects were found, and someone had even jumped off the building… So in pursuit of excitement, my roommates and I sneaked in here at night, and played the pen fairy in this piano room!”
“Here, we experienced the magic of the pen fairy!”
“It truly existed and could give us many hints… One of my roommates even won the second prize in a sports lottery by following the series of numbers given by the pen fairy. 1 also passed my grade io piano exam by following the pen fairy’s guidance!”
“At that time, we were all very excited, thinking that the pen fairy had shown us the way and brought us good luck… but soon after, terror struck!”
At this point,
Fear flashed through the female ghost’s eyes.
Even after several years and having become a ghost, she still couldn’t forget everything she had experienced!
“My roommates and 1 seemed to be cursed, constantly suffering from misfortune, and having the same nightmares every night!”
“One of my roommates fell and suffered a comminuted fracture in her lower leg while walking. She was a dance major… Three days later, another roommate choked on a chicken bone while eating, causing permanent damage to her vocal cords. She was a singer!”
“They said that before the accidents, they saw the shadow of the pen fairy!”
“During that time, my remaining roommate and 1 lived in agony… hiding in our dorm, not daring to go out, or even eat… But misfortune still struck.”
“My roommate’s phone suddenly exploded while she was watching a short video, disfiguring her entire face!”
“I was completely devastated at that time!”
“Knowing that running away couldn’t solve the problem, 1 came to the piano room overnight…”
“It wasn’t until then that I realized that what we summoned wasn’t a pen fairy, but a monster with a human body and a hideous head, capable of bringing boundless misfortune to people.”
“I saw it, then accidentally tripped and fell, breaking the glass. Before I passed out, the falling glass shards cut my wrist…”
Goodness!
A monster that brings misfortune to people?
Is it an unlucky ghost?
Or, it’s not the bad luck brought by the monster itself, but the actions it took!
The female ghost in front of him was even more unlucky.
That’s why she was forced to slit her wrists and commit “suicide”.
Xu Yang thought for a moment before asking, “After you died, did your ghost stay in this piano room all the time?”
The female ghost nodded and said, “After my death, I felt my soul leave my body and stay in this piano room, in a daze until a month ago. 1 finally regained my memories from before my death, but at the same time, the monster found me and wanted to eat me.”
“It is much stronger than me… It was only in my panic that 1 touched the piano and drove it away. But this also led to the rumors of a haunting in the piano room, causing the school to lock the door and trap me here!”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang walked over to the piano in the corner of the room.
There were some dark brown bloodstains on the piano leg, and a strong Yin energy lingers around it.
After a brief examination, he had a conclusion: “Around the time you died, your blood stained this piano. Over the past three years, your ghost remained attached to the piano, eventually granting it some supernatural power.”
This wasn’t that surprising.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
The female ghost answered without hesitation, “My name is Pang Juan.”
“My name is Xu Yang, and 1 am the disciple of Celestial Master Xu Xun, the Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji.”
Xu Yang went straight to the point, “Since that is the case, we know each other now… I plan to have your juniors play the Pen Spirit game again to draw out that monster. However, the monster seems to have the power to harness some sort of force to protect itself… Your piano playing can break that power, so 1 come to seek your cooperation.”
Pang Juan’s ghost was somewhat frightened.
The “monster” left too deep a psychological shadow on her, making her afraid to face it.
The previous act of repelling the monster with her piano playing was only out of reluctance to see her juniors harmed.
“Pang Juan, you are a good child.”
Xu Yang persuaded, “1 want to deal with that monster to avenge you, and to save your juniors… You don’t want your juniors to be harmed by that monster like you, do you?”
“This…”
The female ghost hesitated for a few seconds before nodding heavily.
“Alright!”
“You act according to the situation, and 1 will go and draw out that monster!”
Xu Yang walked out of the room, and once again closed the wide-open piano room door, pasting a “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” on it.
“This talisman can prevent the monster from harming you first… However, it does not recognize who it attacks and might hurt you too, so don’t open the door before I come.”
After giving a warning, Xu Yang went downstairs and quickly returned to the third-floor classroom.
With his “encouragement”, the students picked up their pens and paper, bravely playing Pen Spirit once again.
“Pen Spirit, Pen Spirit!”
“You are my past life, and 1 am your present life…”
“Pen Spirit, Pen Spirit!”
“You are my past life, and 1 am your present life…”
As the five people “chanted”, a violent wind suddenly blew outside the classroom.
Strands of Yin energy began to gather.
Those strands of Yin energy unexpectedly formed a gray hand.
The hand emerged from nothingness and placed itself on Zou Yingsong and Ye Sijia’s hands that were holding the pen.
This scene was invisible to Ye Sijia and the others, but Xu Yang’s eyes couldn’t be deceived.
His eyes brightened, and he moved as fast as lightning, grabbing the black hand!
“Hahaha!”
“You little bastard, I got you!”
