Reading the words on the paper, Wang Xin's emotions became more agitated. She slowly stood up and reached for the ballpoint pen in Chen Ge's hand.
The slender fingers slid between Chen Ge's fingers. This seemed to be the first time she had felt warmth from another person, and her arms kept shaking.
She wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat.
The three minutes were almost up, and the ballpoint pen started to move again. This time, they only wrote two words.
"Good night."
The pen stopped moving, and Chen Ge started to chant the spell to send the Pen Spirit away. Wang Xin also started to chant it involuntarily.
"Pen Spirit, Pen Spirit, you are my previous life, and I am your current life. If you wish to leave, please leave."
When they finished the last word, Wang Xin completely lost control of her emotions. The thorn in her heart was pulled out. She gripped Chen Ge's hand and pressed the old ballpoint pen against her forehead like she did not want others to see her in pain.
"The lights in the world have gone off, and everyone's voices have shattered into pieces. I don't know what to do. Everything feels wrong, and I'll get lost in every road. I don't know why I'm in so much pain. I seem to have turned into a monster that doesn't belong in this world. "
Wang Xin finally screamed out the words that she had been holding in her heart. Looking at the words on the paper, she leaned on the table, and her voice became smaller and smaller. "Help me, pull me out from this world. I don't want to be in so much pain anymore, help me …"
Her head pressed against the back of Chen Ge's hand, and her body leaned against the mattress. Her breathing was even, like she had fallen asleep.
"Good night."
Chen Ge gently pulled his hand out. He covered Wang Xin with a blanket and walked out from the room.
Doctor Gao and Wang Xin's mother were squeezed outside the door. Both of them wanted to know what was going on inside, but they were afraid of disturbing Wang Xin, so they asked softly.
"How is Wang Xin now?"
Chen Ge pointed inside the room. "She's already asleep."
"She's really asleep." Doctor Gao could not believe it. He knew how painful it was for people with severe depression, and they could only rely on medicine to sleep. "How did you do it?"
"It's a long story." "When I was looking for materials for the Haunted House at Mu Yang High School, I accidentally stumbled across some of Wang Xin's past. I knew that the reason for the knot in her heart was because she had witnessed the death of her roommate after playing the Pen Spirit game. That's why I wanted to find the right remedy. I imitated her roommate's handwriting and played the Pen Spirit game with her just now, telling her that it was all just a coincidence. "
"Is that even possible?" Dr. Gao exclaimed.
The middle-aged woman's eyes were already wet. "Thank you! I'm sorry for doubting you before! "
"It's fine. Honestly speaking, the two of you are the great ones. One of you was willing to adopt Wang Xin, who was suffering from depression, and gave her meticulous care. In a critical moment, you stepped forward to help. "Chen Ge praised the two of them, and their impression of him changed greatly.
Wang Xin's foster mother wanted them to stay for dinner, but Chen Ge rejected her. When Wang Xin was asleep, the black phone vibrated twice, and he left in a hurry to check the message.
After exiting Fang Hwa Apartments, Chen Ge bade farewell to Doctor Gao and got on the bus to return to New Century Park.
He sat in the last row, and while no one was looking, he took out the black phone to check.
"Two-star Scenario Mu Yang High School's Hidden Mission — The Pen Spirit's Wish has been completed! Activating the next phase of the hidden mission! Create puppets for the twenty-four names! "
"You have successfully fulfilled the Pen Spirit's wish. Even though she still does not want to see you, she has developed a sense of gratitude toward you. Would you like to hire the Pen Spirit to become a member of the Haunted House?"
Chen Ge chose yes directly. Hadn't he been busy for so long just to wait for this moment?
"Congratulations, Specter's Favored, for successfully hiring a special kind of baleful Specter — The Pen Spirit!
"Chen Ya Lin (Pen Spirit): You will have a prophecy chance every day (The questions cannot be beyond the Pen Spirit's power, and the success rate is fifty percent)!
"Warning: The screams of the visitors will excite the Pen Spirit. Feeding on the visitors' fear will strengthen the Pen Spirit's power. If the Pen Spirit's mood is low for too long, she might leave you. "
Turning to the last page, Chen Ge read through all the information about the Pen Spirit several times. He was quite excited. He had finally hired his first ghost employee. This proved that all his previous speculations could be realized; he could even build a theme park that could be controlled by one person!
"The first step is always the hardest. In the future, there will be more new employees joining my Haunted House." Chen Ge was quite satisfied with the Pen Spirit. The Pen Spirit could be responsible for a small scenario, and it had a special power that could predict the future within a certain range. If this power was put to good use, it would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
Scrolling through the black phone, Chen Ge saw the next part of Mu Yang High School's hidden mission, which was to create a mannequin for the lingering spirits in the last classroom.
Even without the black phone, he would have completed this mission.
Through the phone call with Inspector Lee, Chen Ge found out why the twenty-four students had returned to the classroom after they died. They were originally homeless orphans, and Mu Yang High School was their home.
Now that the new scenario had been opened, they had treated Chen Ge's two-star scenario as their new home, similar to Yin Xiaoxiao's family.
In the future, I will continue to complete Trial Missions, and the underground scenario will only get bigger and bigger. At that time, I will have these twenty-four lingering spirits help me manage the place, and we will both benefit from it. Chen Ge's plan was very good, but the premise was that he had to gain the twenty-four lingering spirits' approval.
Returning to the Haunted House, Chen Ge fell asleep immediately. The day and night had indeed exhausted him.
After sleeping for who knew how long, Chen Ge suddenly felt something crawl into his arms like a clingy kitten.
He opened his eyes blurrily and realized that he was hugging a small doll in his arms.
"Xiaoxiao?" He rubbed his eyes and placed Xiaoxiao's neck to the side. "What the hell is this? I'm a man hugging a doll to sleep. What will my other half think of me when I get married?"
Stretching lazily, Chen Ge glanced at the time. It was 11: 59 pm.
Putting on his shoes, Chen Ge exited the staff breakroom and entered the first-floor bathroom.
He just wanted to use the toilet, but once he entered the door, he realized that the atmosphere inside the bathroom was not right.
The cubicle door was swaying lightly, and a faint red liquid leaked out from the mirror that was covered by the black cloth.
"The door in the mirror has appeared again?" He walked to the mirror and pulled back the corner of the black cloth.
