Chapter 8



The teaching building was empty at night.

The crisp sound of the boy's leather shoes stepping on the ground echoed rhythmically in the corridor.

Under the moonlight, an extremely complicated expression appeared on the boy's face.

"That guy said he wanted me to work, and I thought I would at least go somewhere to harvest a few souls or something like that, but I didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter..."

If Jiuyuan was there, he would definitely be possessed by the spirit of drama and say something like "I'm not a demon, why would I let you offer your soul to me?"

Ten minutes ago

Jiuyuan clasped his hands together and smiled playfully.

"I forgot my lunch box in the drawer at school. I'll tell you where the classroom is and you can get it back for me."

Hanako, who thought she was going to have a great time, suddenly became irritated and went to the toilet with a stiff face.

Jiuyuan was thinking about how to arrange for Hanako.

Hanako has an innate skill that allows her to teleport to the toilet's coordinates. Although the range is limited, she can reach her desired location by teleporting a few times.

What makes Hanako even more powerful is that he can perform space replacement. He can exchange the space within two coordinates, just like the mysterious NPC that occasionally appears in the game. For example, a room that should be empty is a mysterious shop when opened. However, after the transaction, when the door is reopened, it becomes the original room again.

Isn't that interesting?

Although Hanako's ability is limited to the "toilet", the principle is the same.

Jiuyuan planned to vacate a small storage room in the house and give it to Hanako as a "business place".

Imagine opening the door of a toilet and finding a mysterious little shop inside... It would surely surprise many people, right?

"As for the main business... let's start with squatting houses. We can also do some intelligence-related business and simple barter. Well, don't be too greedy in the early stage."

The boy twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand, as there was something else that concerned him.

While using the Slit Man to fight Mr. Hat, the feeling of power flowing through his body gave him some inspiration. He could feel himself becoming more and more proficient in controlling this body, especially in such a ruthless fight, as if he could feel something awakening inside his body.

He was not sure about his inspiration, so he simply asked the official: "System, as my proficiency and acting skills increase, will these characters become stronger?"

[Yes. In addition, the higher the master's main story progress, the stronger the character will be. ]

"I see."

It seems that we need to actively solve the main storyline.

Next, thinking that the time waiting for Hanako would be boring anyway, Jiuyuan simply took out a piece of draft paper to draft the layout of Hanako's shop.

"Put a table here, and use a shelf next to it. Hmm... I saw an old dusty bookshelf in the warehouse, which is perfect for this purpose."

Before Hanako had even put a few strokes on the manuscript paper, something interesting happened.

Hanako has already reached the floor where Kuen's grade is. The sensitivity of the characters in the strange stories is far beyond that of ordinary people. He heard people talking in the teaching building, which should have been silent.

At first he thought the rustling sound was the wind blowing the leaves, but after a little careful consideration, he found that it was someone talking in a low voice.

There was anxiety, excitement and excitement in the sound. No wonder it sounded so mixed.

"I say... do we really want to play with Pen Fairy?"

"You still don't want it?"

"Hey, you're backing out before you even start? Do you really believe there's such a thing as a pen fairy in this world?"

"But at this time, I might really run into something..."

After he reminded her, Hanako paid special attention when she passed by the next classroom and found that it was almost midnight.

This group of people actually came to school late at night to play the Pen Fairy game.

He would not comment on the suicidal nature of human beings for the time being, but there were indeed some things in this teaching building. Hanako saw quite a few along the way, but they were all insignificant and usually did not dare to provoke others.

If they hadn't insisted on coming here late at night to play the Pen Fairy game, these things wouldn't have been attracted.

Hanako walked to the window and tiptoed to look inside. She saw five or six students, tall and short, both male and female, gathered in a circle.

When he looked closely, he found that there was someone Jiu Yuan knew...

Huang Lai subconsciously touched his arm and asked, "Don't you feel a little cold?"

Another person disagreed: "Even summer nights can be cold sometimes, so don't overthink it."

It was no coincidence that Kise felt cold. The scene seen by Hanako was completely different.

Behind them, there was a circle of tall black shadows, moving slightly, like living things, but no one could see them.

They seemed to be divided into two groups and had already played a round of games. No wonder they attracted so much dirty stuff.

Hanako narrowed her reddish-brown eyes and twitched the corners of her mouth.

"This is not good. If this continues, even if one of them is replaced, no one will notice."

Seeing Kise's group procrastinating, the group that had already finished the game fanned the flames.

"Are you scared? How can there be ghosts in this world? Look, we are done. Nothing happened, right?"

After saying this, he asked several friends next to him, and everyone laughed.

One of the students who was more impatient quickly moved the table to the middle, pushed away the inconvenient table next to it, and spread the fifty-sounds table that he had prepared long ago on the table.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started. Anyway, I don't believe in ghosts."

After saying this, he held the pen and waved his other hand to signal others to follow him.

"Hey, you guys promised to help me find the pen fairy and ask questions. This is related to whether I can successfully confess my love to Rimi, which is an important event in my life!"

Several other students had no choice but to come forward and hold the pen with him.

Huang Lai seemed to feel even colder. He shrugged his shoulders and tried his best to look nonchalant, but his eyes unconsciously wandered around, as if he was looking for something that made him uneasy.

He watched as the shadow behind them became more and more excited, and even stretched out something like a tongue to lick one of their ears, but he didn't feel anything.

Although he felt that their behavior was inappropriate, Jiuyuan would not just stand by and watch them die.

"Pen Fairy Pen Fairy..."

Just as they were about to begin chanting the summoning ceremony, Hanako knocked heavily on the classroom glass.

"W-what's that sound?"

The boy who asked about his love luck turned pale with fright.

The rest of the people also looked over here, and unexpectedly it was a little boy under ten years old, staring at them with cold eyes.

In the dark classroom, there was only a little moonlight pouring in from the window, making the little boy's face look even paler. In addition, he was wearing white and red clothes, which made people imagine a lot.

Someone subconsciously asked: "Little boy, why are you..."

The people around him quickly grabbed him, probably because they thought Hanako was a monster and would be taken away if they talked to him.

Seeing their shocked and frightened expressions, Hanako stepped forward and said, "Big Brother and Big Sister, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Hanako ignored the frightened looks of these people, walked forward and looked at the kana table on the table.

"Eh? Are you guys playing with pen fairies?"

Still no one answered him.

Jiuyuan thought: If you knew you were afraid, you shouldn’t play any psychic games!

"Little brother..."

One of the students, named Yamada, stepped forward despite himself. He didn't want to do it, but he thought of the many ghost stories he had read, and it seemed that the consequences of ignoring ghosts were even worse.

Seeing how eager they were to finish the task, Hanako had no choice but to ask again, "Are you playing with Pen Fairy?"

"Yes, it is."

"Did he come out then?"

"ah?"

"Pen Fairy, has it come out?"

Yamada paused, thinking that the group of students in front of him had finished the game safely, and replied, "...They came out, right?"

"Really? I want to see the Pen Fairy, too." Hanako picked up the pen and handed it to Yamada, then tilted her head to look at him, "Shall we play together?"

After he said this, the timid ones nearby almost burst into tears.

After all, a little boy suddenly appears in the middle of the night and runs up to you and says he wants to play with the Pen Fairy... It's so scary!

Hanako admired their courage - at least no one had been scared to rush out yet, but it was possible that they were just stunned by the shock.

"Let's play together." Hanako said again.

He stared at the other people in the room with burning eyes. Under pressure, they had to come out and stand beside the table. Hanako stepped on a stool and held the pen with them.

Kise was the second one to hold the pen, and when he touched Hanako's cold hand, he was so scared that he almost threw the pen away.

...Is he a ghost? Just as he was thinking this, he noticed that the boy glanced at him.

His eyes were filled with resentment.

He didn't dare to think too much.

The rest of the people were like frightened quails, with their heads down trembling as they looked at the kana table; no one dared to look at Hanako.

It felt like if I looked at him for even a second longer, he would grab me and have me as a midnight snack.

Seeing that Hanako didn't move, Yamada had no choice but to ask Hanako: "Well, the opening remarks..."

"You read it."

He is not a living person, and even if you chant the pen spirit, it will not help him.

However, these guys have no hostility towards Hanako. Perhaps they mistakenly think that Hanako is also a friendly army who wants to get a piece of the pie.

Yamada had no choice but to start reciting with a bitter face, while the others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was better for the poor to die than for their friends.

"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, I am your past life and you are my present life. If you want to continue your relationship with me, please draw a circle on the paper."

A cold wind blew in the classroom with closed doors and windows, and soon Yamada felt something holding his hand.

"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, is that you?"

The pen held by the crowd began to move slowly, and soon moved through two notes, and answered: "Yes."

Seeing the Pen Fairy coming, everyone held their breath and dared not act rashly.

Yamada did not dare to make his own decision, so he had to bravely continue to ask Hanako for advice. He asked in a weak voice that seemed like he was about to die: "Well, you can ask questions from now on... but there are taboos..."

Before he could finish, Hanako said, "Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, tell me, how did you die?"

Kise:! ???

The rest: !!!!!!???
