"Are they really evil spirits? Do evil spirits have such a lively and innocent side? Do evil spirits also play games? Do they tell dirty jokes?"
Chen Ge began to have doubts. He was not sure whether these students were evil spirits. If they were evil spirits, did these ghosts forget that they were dead?
When we arrived at the small square where the clubs were recruiting new members, we saw people crowding in front of each club, slogans of the clubs were everywhere, and there was even a performance by the street dance club in the center.
"It didn't feel out of place at all. I actually saw such a scene inside the door."
Crossing the small square, the sound waves in his ears gradually weakened. Chen Ge came to the outskirts of the square. He found a secluded place to sit down and prepare to observe carefully.
"According to the clues Zhou Tu provided just now, these children must have forgotten something. Are they really happy living like this?"
Chen Ge had no answer. He was not those children and could not make choices for them.
Chen Ge's eyes swept across the students one by one, and finally stopped beside himself.
Three or four meters away from him sat a thin student. The child sat alone on the steps, with no friends around him. He looked at the crowds surging in the small square, his eyes full of envy.
"Hey, why don't you join the club?" Chen Ge became interested in the child and walked towards him.
The male student was startled when he suddenly heard Chen Ge's voice. He saw Chen Ge coming and subconsciously wanted to leave.
"Man, why are you still shy?" Chen Ge walked up to the male student and said, "If you want to join any club, just go and join it. Don't hesitate."
"I..." The male student lowered his head and leaned forward, as if he was covering something.
"Do you want to join the Art Club? But there is no art club here?" Chen Ge guessed.
Seeing Chen Ge's enthusiasm, the male student replied honestly: "I want to learn street dance, but..."
He stood up, and Chen Ge discovered that the boy was lame, his left foot was severely deformed, and he walked with a limp.
"But the hip-hop dance club doesn't want me." The male student was a little frustrated: "In fact, not only the hip-hop dance club, but many clubs have rejected me. Joining the club will earn me two credits. I'm worried about this."
"It's okay, leave it to me." Chen Ge patted the boy's shoulder. He was not good at comforting people, but only good at solving problems.
"You?" The male student looked up at Chen Ge with a hint of distrust in his eyes.
"I'm a teacher in our school. Since I've seen your situation, I can't just ignore it." Chen Ge took out various certificates of Teacher Bai from his backpack. When he was in the staff apartment in the East Campus, he stuffed these things into his backpack.
Using his thumb to block the photo, Chen Ge waved his ID in front of the male student.
"Forget it. If you force them to let me join, they will feel uncomfortable." The male student pursed his lips and said, "I won't cause trouble to others. It's fine to be alone."
"You are a student of our school, which means you are a member of our big family. Don't be embarrassed."
"Teacher Bai, I appreciate your kindness."
"Stay here. I'll be back soon." Chen Ge re-entered the square. He inquired about some clubs very seriously, but few were willing to accept the child.
When I returned to the male student, he seemed to have already predicted the result.
"Teacher, you don't have to worry about me, really."
"Students like you are not isolated cases. If everyone is unwilling to accept you, then this is not the students' problem, but our school's problem." Chen Ge's expression suddenly became serious: "The body is innate. We cannot change physical defects, but we can change the eyes of people around us. This is the power of education."
The male student nodded. After hearing Chen Ge's words, he completely dispelled his doubts about Chen Ge.
"You wait here. I won't believe it today." Chen Ge crossed the small square again and came to the office building next to it. Because he needed to collect information about the clubs, there were many students coming in and out.
Mixed in the crowd, Chen Ge quietly entered the office building. He was worried about running into other teachers, so he only walked around the first floor.
The door of the office responsible for club statistics was open. A female teacher was writing something with her head down, and there were several students sorting out club information next to her.
After taking a look at the door, Chen Ge walked straight in, very naturally, as if he often worked here.
The female teacher probably thought it was a student coming in, so she didn't even raise her head. The students who were sorting out documents next to her did see Chen Ge, but they didn't say anything either.
Walking straight to the empty desk, Chen Ge had an extremely strong mental state. He calmly opened the drawer, found the club's registration documents and application form on the desk, and then sat down on the chair.
He took a pen and wrote something simply, then stamped the school seal on the application form. Finally, he stuffed the application form and the document bag into his backpack and walked out of the office in a cool manner.
Crossing the square, Chen Ge found the male student again: "There is a club that is very willing to recruit you. I am personally in charge of this club. Do you want to join?"
"Teacher, are you personally responsible for this?" The male student nodded: "Yes."
Anyway, no club would recruit him, and Teacher Bai treated him very well, so the boy agreed decisively: "Teacher Bai, what kind of club are you in charge of?"
"Sign first." Chen Ge took out an application form from his file bag and handed it to the male student.
"Okay." The male student signed his name on the application form.
"Wang Yicheng? That's a nice name." Chen Ge collected the male student's application form and took out the club document he had just compiled: "Our club is called the Paranormal Research Club. We don't have much to do on weekdays. We just explore the weird stories in school and study some supernatural phenomena, psychic phenomena, mysticism, etc. that are difficult to explain by science."
After hearing Chen Ge's introduction, the male student was stunned: "Teacher Bai, are you serious?"
"Did you see the seal of our school on the document? Why would I lie to a student like you?" Chen Ge zipped up his backpack. "You have already signed the application form. If you want to quit the club, I won't make it difficult for you. I will just deduct two credits from you."
"No, I'm just a little surprised." The male student didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. He always felt that his campus life was changed at this moment.
"That's good enough. Tell me about the bizarre events that happened to you first. Don't miss any details." Chen Ge took out a piece of paper and a pen to record.
"Right here? Starting now?"
"Let's start quickly. Don't feel any psychological pressure. This is the tradition of our club. Anyone who joins the club must first tell about the supernatural events that happened to him." Chen Ge did not lie. He just did not tell Wang Yichen that the other party was the first member of the Paranormal Research Society.
