Chapter 053 Chapter 53

The three turned their eyes to Liu Lei.

"What...what's wrong?" The poor middle-aged man felt frightened when he was stared at by them.

"Where did you play the Pen Fairy game?"

Liu Lei thought for a moment and said, "Fourth floor, room 414."

"Huh." These guys really know how to pick a place.

This dormitory is not simple. In addition to the interesting house number, it is also the first scene in the data where the students successfully summoned the weird. The combination of these two factors is like adding poison to poison.

The three of them looked at each other. Seeing their expressions, Liu Lei panicked: "Are you guys going to go up?"

After receiving affirmative answers from the three people, Liu Lei's eyes were full of resistance. He quickly stepped back to make his attitude clear: "That monster is a heartless eater. I don't want to go up there."

"Don't worry, we won't let the public get involved." Zhu Changan said quickly: "Based on past experience, as long as you don't participate in the game, the weird... monsters won't come to you."

"Really?" Liu Lei still didn't dare: "Then can I stay here? I think the location here is also good. If anything happens, I can jump out of the window and run away at the first time."

"Okay." Mo Xuanji thought about it and took out some defensive talismans from the storage bag.

If it was a normal case, they could just send the person out after finding him. However, this was a weird case, so they had to escort the victim to a safe place to complete the handover. They couldn't just walk him out the door and leave him alone.

Following the same procedure as last time, Mo Xuanji pasted a piece of talisman paper in every corner of the room, striving for all-round protection.

"Will this work?" Liu Lei watched his movements, half believing and half doubting.

"Don't worry, it works. After you stick the talisman on it, monsters won't be able to enter this room." Zhu Changan explained to him with a smile.

"Okay, next time, no matter what you hear, don't open the door. As long as you have these talismans, you will be fine." Mo Xuanji said as he patted the dust off his hands.

After explaining what was going on here, the three-person team went straight to dormitory 414.

The door of dormitory 414 was sealed, and someone had cut it open with a knife. The door was ajar, and the hinges were rusty, making a creepy sound as the door was pushed open. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after entering the room, the three of them felt a cold breath blowing in their faces.

Zhu Changan couldn't help but shudder: "This place is really suitable for filming a campus horror movie... Are we really going to play the Pen Fairy game here next?"

"Well. How can we lure it out if we don't play with it?" Mo Xuanji said as he walked into the room. He looked around and saw that the bed in the dormitory was knocked crooked. There was a table in the middle of the room with papers and pens thrown on it, as well as a candle that was half-burned and then extinguished.

The table was facing the window. Something had broken the glass on the window, and the curtains fluttered violently in the cold wind, as if there was a monster hiding behind it. A flash of lightning flashed, accompanied by a deafening thunder, briefly illuminating the scene in the dormitory.

"I will never watch horror movies again..." Zhu Changan's face turned pale.

Shen Liuxue used a detector to scan 414 inside and out and found that only the marker had some strange energy residues.

"This marker should have been brought in by them, but can an ordinary pen actually summon monsters?" Shen Liuxue said in surprise.

"Wow, no wonder the Pen Fairy game was banned later. Doesn't it mean that any pen can cause strange things?" Zhu Changan took the marker and took a look at it. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything unusual in it.

Mo Xuanji picked up the paper on the table. It had been drawn on and was probably unusable. So he took out a new piece of paper and copied it to create an identical piece of paper. The alphabet and Arabic numerals were written on it, and the basic answers could be expressed by drawing circles.

"Okay, let's get started."

The three of them sat around the table and, according to the rules, each reached out and held the marker. After turning off the flashlight, Shen Liuxue lit the candle.

The flames lit up, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the faces of the three people.

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

After repeating this several times, the pen began to move slightly.

Are you here? Pen Fairy. Mo Xuanji thought to himself.

The candlelight flickered slightly. The three of them were extremely nervous.

"Hey~ Why are you calling me?" The system suddenly made a sound in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Mo Xuanji was caught off guard and was frightened to the point of shaking all over. After she came to her senses, she angrily poked the system in her sea of ​​consciousness: "System! Stop teasing me at this time!"

"Hey, I couldn't help it because the serious Jizi is so cute. Okay, I was wrong, Jizi, don't be angry?"

You can't coax it! Mo Xuanji blocked the system's voice and refused to communicate with it.

Because the three of them were holding hands very close to each other, Shen Liuxue noticed something was wrong with Mo Xuanji at the first moment and immediately became alert.

But the anomaly detector didn't work.

"Xuan Ji, what's wrong?" Out of trust in his little friend, Shen Liuxue still asked.

Mo Xuanji hesitated to speak. He couldn't tell his friend that there was a wicked guy in his mind who deliberately scared him at the critical moment, right?

"Sorry, it's my fault."

Seeing his friend's embarrassed expression, the light bulb on Zhu Changan's head lit up, revealing a look of discovery of the new continent: "Could it be...Xuanji is also afraid of this?"

Mo Xuanji looked at him silently: "How do you know I'm afraid?"

Zhu Changan showed an expression of seeing through everything, and said sincerely: "Okay, you are not afraid."

“……”The disgusting black-hearted sesame dumplings.

"Pfft... sorry, hahahaha..." Shen Liuxue couldn't help laughing.

The first summons ended in failure.

With the experience of the first time, the three of them quickly got into position and started the second summoning.

I don't know why, but this time there was no response for a long time. I called the call again and again, but the marker didn't move.

"Huh? Why is there no response?" Zhu Changan stroked his hair. "Could we have guessed wrong? Wasn't the weird summoned by the Pen Fairy game? Uh... or is it busy now and has no time to pay attention to us?"

"Try a few more times, and if it doesn't work, find another way."

Perhaps Weird also understood that it is better to do it once or twice than to do it three times. After repeating the summoning words several times for the third time, the Weird Detector finally made a slight sound.

The three people's hands trembled slightly with the marker, drawing a neat circle on the paper.

"Here it comes." Mo Xuanji said in a low voice.

Then just ask it three random questions without sending it away, or try to irritate it.

According to the order, Shen Liuxue was the first one. She asked: "Are all the people who broke in here before still alive?"

In the Pen Fairy game, the Pen Fairy cannot lie, it can only choose to answer or be "offended" and then attack. I just don't know if the weird version of the Pen Fairy needs to follow this rule.

Use a marker to draw a circle on the word "yes".

"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, how long have you existed?" It was Mo Xuanji's turn next.

The marker turned to "2" and "0" - twenty years.

Zhu Changan stroked his hair, thought for a moment, and then asked a question that would definitely trigger the Pen Fairy's anger mechanism.

"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, how did you die?"

The Pen Fairy did not answer.

The table seemed to have been kicked hard, and the candles suddenly went out. A strong wind suddenly blew in the house, and the curtains that had faded to white fluttered wildly, as if something was going to rush in from behind in the next second.

The three of them stood up, standing back to back, and vigilantly observed everything around them.

"There seems to be a sound of water."

Suddenly, I heard a "tick-tick" sound, as if a faucet somewhere was not turned off, or as if the house was in disrepair and rain was seeping through the cracks in the wall and dripping on the floor.

But this is the fourth floor, and there are fifth and sixth floors between us and the roof, so the leak does not affect us here.

"No way... Liuxue really jumped into the prophecy house." Zhu Changan's heart sank. The scene in front of him was exactly the same as the story Shen Liuxue told in the car. Rainy night, three people, and the inexplicable sound of dripping water... Will the next step be a hand randomly patting someone on the shoulder?

Shen Liuxue was in a strange mood at this time. The prophecy of her words coming true was indeed a big challenge to her heart.

On the table, the marker was floating in the air with the tip facing downwards. The three of them shone the flashlight over there and finally found the source of the dripping sound.

I saw a sticky black liquid dripping out from the tip of the pen continuously. It seemed to have its own consciousness, flowing slowly along the table, gathering into a stream and extending towards the three people.

Shen Liuxue summoned his spirit sword, and a cold light flashed past, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply. The black liquid seemed to be blocked by something, and its forward speed gradually slowed down until it was completely frozen.

The cold air continued to spread upward along the black water, and the marker trembled, and was bulged by the things inside. After all, it was just an ordinary pen, and it could not withstand such torture. After a brief period of glory, it exploded into pieces.

As if there was a portal, a steady stream of black water came out of it. The water ball kept getting bigger and bigger, and slowly grew hands and feet, and finally turned into a dark human figure.

The figure opened his mouth, making gurgling sounds, and attacked the three people with an incomparable sense of oppression.

"careful!"

“Squeak——”

"Crack." Something froze quickly.

It turns out that high-end ingredients... no, weird ones, often require the most down-to-earth treatment.

Mo Xuanji didn't even have time to use his special powers before Weird was frozen by Shen Liuxue. A dark block of ice fell off the table with a click, almost breaking into pieces. Mo Xuanji raised his hand and released a wind prison to trap Weird inside. When the time was up, the freezing effect faded, and the ice turned back into liquid.

Qiyi originally wanted to fight, but under the suppression of the three men, he finally faced the reality and curled up in the wind prison, crying silently.

Although freezing it can only freeze it for a few minutes, it is already enough to intimidate this monster.

"Well... is that all?" Zhu Changan had an expression that said "Are you kidding me?"

It was such a big battle just now, but this is the result? You are such a bad boy and you really don't deserve those special effects!

"So the strange one also knows how to brag?"

An extremely humiliating expression appeared on the boastful and weird face.

Shen Liuxue threatened with a sword in hand: "Tell me, where did those missing people go? Otherwise, I will let you experience what it feels like to be frozen forever."

Weird, Incompetent, Furious: "You just rely on your special abilities to bully others. Do you have any sense of public morality?"

"Public morality? You are not a human being, there is no need to treat you like this." Shen Liuxue said dimly.

"How am I not a human being? Please stop slandering me!"

Mo Xuanji was watching from the side, and after hearing these words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

At that time, Liu Lei said that a black mist had engulfed the anchor, but now all they saw was black water. Moreover, the actual energy level on the strange detector was only C.

The data given in the task is level B.

"Could it be that there are actually two monsters here?" There is another possibility, that the guy in front of him is hiding his abilities.

Shen Liuxue was still arguing with Qieyi. She took out a mirror and placed it in front of Qieyi: "You say you are a human, but look at yourself now. How do you look like a human?"

"I'm clearly!" Strangely saw himself in the mirror and stretched out his hand in disbelief: "I'm clearly... my hand, my body! Impossible! I'm clearly a human! This is not me!"

"I am human, I am human!" A weird and piercing scream broke out.

Zhu Changan quickly covered his ears and looked at his companions: "Could it be that this monster is also a human?"

After a while, Weird finally calmed down. It seemed to be more sober now and no longer had the desire to attack.

"Please save me, you are so powerful, there must be a way to change me back!"

"We can help you, but first you need to answer our questions."

"Do you still remember your human identity?" Mo Xuanji asked.

"I remember." He looked a little dazed, "My name is Sun Cheng, I'm 20 years old... I'm a host..."

Anchor?

"It turns out that this is really a weird thing that humans have transformed into."

The three of them looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Do you know Liu Lei?"

"Liu Lei?" Qiyi thought for a while and said, "I know him. He is the photographer of our team."

"I remember that we were playing the Pen Fairy game here and accidentally angered the Pen Fairy." The weird emotions were aroused again: "The Pen Fairy made me its tent ghost and asked me to help it catch people... I remember that my two friends were also caught by it!"

"Are they still alive now?"

"I only know that they were locked up by the Pen Fairy." Weirdly turned around twice in the wind prison anxiously: "Will they also be turned into the same as me?"

Zhu Changan pulled the two of them over and formed a small circle around them.

"Is our mission target really only B-level? It can capture subordinates to do work and evade system detection. I would believe it if you said it was an SS."

"The lower the level of weirdness, the lower the intelligence. But isn't this one a little too smart?" Shen Liuxue always felt that something was wrong.

"Because it was transformed from a human?"

This was the second time they encountered a human-turned-monster. The first was after swallowing a monster crystal, and the second was after being assimilated by the monster. There were too many variables and few observable samples, so they were unsure of the current situation.

"Be careful of this guy." Mo Xuanji said as he crossed his arms.
