Chapter 105 Haunted High School (39)
The honorary student ID card is stamped with the Jinling University seal, which means that the student ID card is recognized as authentic.
The student ID holder can then enjoy the privileges that come with an honorary student ID – offsetting any penalty.
The dean's pupils dilated with fear. It was obvious that she was not convinced by the way she stamped the document, but she had no way to refute it, nor did she have the courage to do so.
Because she stamped it with her own hands.
"Is this student ID card real now?" Su Yue asked.
The dean was speechless and made a terrified "crackling" sound in his throat.
"Does that mean everything is written off?" Su Yue asked again.
The dean nodded in surprise.
Su Yue said, "Then this student ID card should be invalid, right?"
"It's... invalidated." The dean of studies replied stutteringly.
"Then I'll give it back to you." Su Yue stuffed the student ID into the dean's arms, and patted the time clock that he had beaten into scrap metal.
When Su Yue clapped his hands on the time clock, it made a "chi chi" sound of steel friction, as if it was crying mournfully.
"This thing is not used anymore, right?" Su Yue asked.
"Yes... yes." The Dean nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "This school rule is invalid."
"Thank you." Su Yue replied.
The head teacher must have been frightened to the point of being a little abnormal. Although the strong men behind her were surprised that she had given in, they did not dare to refute her. As soon as the head teacher turned around, they all followed her.
The wind died down, and the chandelier above was shaking. The thin little girl stood closest to Su Yue, looking at him timidly.
"Take that thing off." Su Yue pointed at her right wrist.
The girl responded and carefully took off the bracelet. This meant that she no longer needed to punch in wherever she went, and her status was no different from that of an ordinary student.
She quickly wiped her eyes, looked at Su Yue and whispered, "Thank you."
Then someone started clapping.
.
Su Yue didn't stay here for too long. He left quickly, and Cang Zhi followed him. Wei Wan was standing outside the crowd, watching everything that had just happened, his eyes wide open.
"That's Gao Zhuo." Wei Wan said quickly when he saw Su Yue, "I heard him, in that gust of wind."
"Are you sure?" Su Yue asked.
"I'm sure it's him. He is the Pen Fairy. I can feel it." Wei Wan said firmly.
"Then let's go and ask the Pen Fairy." Su Yue said, "Now, immediately."
Wei Wan chased out and stopped the president who was about to leave. The president enthusiastically lent them brushes, horoscopes, candles, and in short, all the props needed to summon the spirit of the pen. He also enthusiastically asked them if they needed any help.
"No need for help." Wei Wan said with a smile, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The president said, "The Pen Fairy may like you very much. It will definitely sense your call."
When Wei Wan heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Thank you."
.
On the way back to the dormitory, many things had already spread, such as Wei Wan was a plague god and people should stay away from him, and Su Yue had just dismantled the time clock in the cafeteria with his bare hands.
Except for students like Wei Wan who come from wealthy families or have good grades and are obedient, all other students in this school have been bullied by the dean to some extent.
So even though everyone was far away from Wei Wan, they looked at Su Yue with a bit of admiration. However, when they saw the weird things in their hands, they immediately backed away.
Back in the dormitory, Su Yue, Cang Zhi and Wei Wan set up the horoscope in front of the desk, lit the candles, turned off the lights, and headed southeast as requested by the president, ready to summon the immortals again.
The president would recite a spell when summoning the spirit, which he also taught Wei Wan. Wei Wan studied it diligently, reproducing it with at least 80% accuracy. After the lights went out, Su Yue, Cang Zhi, and Wei Wan all held the large brush. Wei Wan recited the spell, and the three of them rotated the brush counterclockwise, waiting for the spirit to descend.
Soon, Su Yue felt the familiar cool breeze, which was the sign of the Pen Fairy's arrival. However, the last time the cool breeze quickly swirled and occupied the entire room, but this time the wind was very subtle and basically imperceptible.
They waited for a long time, but the wind didn't get stronger.
Wei Wan took the lead and tentatively let go of his hands, followed by Su Yue and Cang Zhi.
The moment all three hands were released, the pen fell sideways with a "click", leaving a long trail of ink on the rice paper.
The Pen Fairy did not come.
Wei Wan was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting such an ending. He bit his lip and said, "Continue."
So he began to pray to the immortals again.
The wind has been blowing, which can probably be understood as the Pen Fairy pretending to come but not coming. However, every time Wei Wan let go of his hand, the pen would fall down. If the Pen Fairy descended, he would use his own power to make the pen stand independently on the horoscope. If the brush fell down, it meant that the Pen Fairy did not come.
There were a few times when the wind blew extremely hard, and Su Yue thought that the Pen Fairy was already hovering in the room. However, as soon as Wei Wan let go of the pen, it fell down with a "click", and the Pen Fairy still did not appear.
In the end, the horoscope was completely covered in ink, but the Pen Fairy did not visit as expected.
The candle had burned down to a tiny tip, and the cold wax piled up on the table. Wei Wan's eyes reflected the candlelight, as if something was glittering inside. He was silent for a long time before he sighed and blew out the candle: "It seems that you won't come to see me today."
"Didn't the president say that it takes at least four people to summon an immortal?" Su Yue consoled him. "Also, the accent you used when reciting the spell wasn't right. It's possible that Gao Zhuo couldn't find the way."
Wei Wan forced a smile and said nothing.
There was nothing else to do that night, so they could only rest. When they started to summon the spirits, the school had actually been under curfew.
Looking out the window, the entire campus was in dead silence.
Even the lights in the all-night study room, which were always on, were turned off, and the silhouette of the teaching building was only the difference between black and deeper black.
That night, Su Yue took down the doll hanging on the head of his bed for the first time, thinking that maybe the Pen Fairy would appear in his dream. He needed more clues from his nightmares.
But it was still a dreamless night.
When they woke up, they received a piece of shocking news:
The principal is dead.
——
The Dean of Studies was found dead in her office. Her death was horrific. Her body looked as if it had been crushed by something heavy, and half of it had turned into a bloody mess.
When Su Yue received the text message from his eldest sister on his mobile phone in the morning, he had already received her warning at the same time: It is recommended that you be mentally prepared before going to the scene.
But even so, after arriving at the scene, Su Yue was still made to feel nauseous by the mixed smell of blood and grease in the room. Fortunately, he had not eaten anything in the morning, otherwise he would have vomited on the spot.
Cang Zhi did the same as before. The moment he saw the horrifying scene, he covered Su Yue's eyes. Su Yue did not struggle this time.
The death of the dean of studies was indeed too tragic, and he needed to calm down a little.
This time, there were fewer people watching, probably because the death of the headmaster was so tragic that any normal person would get a tingling sensation on their scalp at the mere sight of it.
"Could this be related to Wei Wan?"
"It's possible. Wasn't Wei Wan also in the cafeteria yesterday? And the student who had the conflict with the dean had a good relationship with Wei Wan, right?"
"This is too exaggerated. Even the dean of studies couldn't prevent it."
Su Yue glanced over there and was about to give in and refute them when another voice was heard from the crowd.
"Don't put the blame on Wei Wan and his friends for everything. They clearly didn't do anything."
"Really? Was it a mistake to be there? Wei Wan wasn't closer to the Dean than anyone else, was she?"
These dissenting voices made Su Yue feel a little relieved, but he was not in the mood to be too relieved now. He quickly crossed the cordon because the scene was so bloody that no one even stopped him.
They reached the scene of death with ease.
Wei Wan had never seen such a scene before. He started retching the moment he entered the office. Su Yue immediately gave him a plastic bag and persuaded him to leave, but Wei Wan was unwilling.
You could tell he was in great pain, with tears in his pretty eyes, but even though he was in so much pain that he had to curl up together, he still refused to go out.
In fact, Su Yue can also understand this feeling.
Even if the other party was the head teacher and had done many wrong things, this way of death was really too cruel.
Despite this level of death, the office suffered no damage to the exterior walls, which undoubtedly was not caused by human intervention.
Then it can only be the work of the Pen Fairy.
"But I don't understand." Su Yue said, "If the Pen Fairy wanted to kill her, why not kill her the first time she stamped? Why wait until midnight?"
"Maybe there are too many people there?" Cang Zhi thought about it.
"How dare the Pen Fairy kill people like this, but he doesn't dare to kill people in public?" Su Yue asked back.
Cang Zhi was speechless. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe it can't kill people before midnight?"
This was indeed a reason, but it was not enough to convince Su Yue. Su Yue frowned and walked to the corpse, only then noticed that there was a book under the dean's left arm.
The book was in a very bad state now. Su Yue dragged the pages with his fingertips and pulled the book out. He saw the conspicuous large words on the old book:
-How to completely eliminate the Pen Fairy
The words on the left page are:
- Remove resentment
-What kind of pen fairy is considered an evil spirit?
…
"So that's the reason?" Su Yue said after a long silence, "Because you don't want to be eliminated?"
"But even so, the method of killing is still too..." Cang Zhi didn't say anything else.
Neither of them dared to speak too loudly because Wei Wan was still here. Wei Wan looked like he had suffered a heavy blow, and even they themselves were shocked.
"You have to know that the Pen Fairy was always so cruel when he killed people before." Su Yue sighed.
At this moment, Wei Wan suddenly turned around.
"I still don't believe that Gao Zhuo did it." Wei Wan said.
.
Su Yue was stunned. He felt sorry for Wei Wan when he said this.
"But the Pen Fairy is Gao Zhuo, you said it yourself." Su Yue said.
"Yes." Wei Wan said, "I'm very sure of this. I could feel him looking at me last night. I had the same feeling when I summoned the spirit before."
"But it was also the Pen Fairy who killed the Dean." Su Yue couldn't explain to Wei Wan that because this was a game world, there wouldn't be two ghosts at the same time. He could only say firmly, "Then it can only be... Gao Zhuo."
"But if Gao Zhuo wanted to kill the dean, why didn't he kill her in the cafeteria?" Wei Wan asked.
"Maybe it's because he knew she wanted to eliminate him, so he decided to wipe her out completely," Su Yue said.
"It's also possible that he can only maintain his sanity because of you. Without you, he would just go berserk." Cang Zhi said, "You have to know that resentment will gradually cause a spirit to lose its nature. Besides, the dean himself is his enemy."
Wei Wan bit her lip and stopped talking.
Su Yue actually didn't want to say this, but he had seen more desperate plots in the game world.
Wei Wan himself confirmed that the Pen Fairy was Gao Zhuo, so he couldn't be wrong, otherwise the logic of this game world would be wrong.
Moreover, many things can confirm this directly or indirectly.
The Pen Fairy helped Su Yue because Su Yue was Wei Wan's friend and because of his status as a poor student. The Pen Fairy did not respond to Wei Wan's request because it was busy with something else last night - the current situation. Before this, when Wei Wan participated in the request, the Pen Fairy always came quickly, but when Wei Wan did not participate, the Pen Fairy was particularly violent.
And those previous lives... all the clues point to the fact that the Pen Fairy is such a cruel and bloodthirsty evil spirit, so there is no room for turning this matter around.
Even if the head teacher got his comeuppance, the two innocent people who died before definitely didn't get their comeuppance.
Gao Zhuo is no longer Gao Zhuo after his body is occupied by evil spirits. Su Yue can only tactfully let Wei Wan accept this.
.
After a long silence, Wei Wan finally spoke.
"I know you're all right. The man who came back last night was indeed Gao Zhuo. But I don't believe Gao Zhuo would do such a thing. If Gao Zhuo knew the consequences of being possessed by a vengeful spirit, he would never have returned even if he was controlled by the spirit."
Wei Wan looked at Su Yue pleadingly, grabbing his wrist. "I don't know why this happened. The Pen Fairy is Gao Zhuo. I know he killed many people. But... I know Gao Zhuo. Even if he wanted revenge, he wouldn't be so cruel, let alone kill innocent people. There must be other reasons. I can't figure it out. Can you please help me?"
