Chapter 15: Pen Fairy is a textbook example of committing suicide
The matter was brought to the teacher's attention.
Pouring a basin of water on a classmate from the next class is a very bad behavior, but Lin Zhuyue did not suffer any punishment. Instead, the boy who was splashed with water was asked to apologize and accepted the school's punishment together with the class teacher.
Lin Zhuyue also became famous in the advanced department.
The people in Class 2 have learned to walk around her.
Ye Yangjia praised: "Well done, but it's weird to bring a wash basin to school..."
"This is a footbath."
Lin Zhuyue corrected,
"The first thing I considered was the washbasin, but no matter how I looked at it, it wasn't big enough to soak the whole person."
Ye Yangjia: “…”
This one also has a temper.
The classmate next door who was splashed with water should be thankful instead of mocking Lin Zhuyue for not having a solid foundation. If she had a solid foundation and the ability to match this class, her revenge would have been more than just a basin of water.
But unfortunately, Lin Zhuyue is not the only one with a bad temper.
Wen Miyan asked: "Shican, what are you doing?"
Shi Can was drawing with his right hand, and there was a faint glow on his fingertips, but it was gray-black. It would be more appropriate to say that it was smoke and particles. It looked very ominous at first glance.
"It's a curse. You're saying you'll forgive someone by throwing a basin of water on them. Don't be so nice. Unless the water caused him to catch a cold and end up in the hospital with pneumonia, this is definitely not something you can just throw a basin of water on him and forget about."
Shi Can said nonchalantly,
"Don't worry, I'm very skilled. I won't let him die, and the teacher won't find out that it was me who did it."
Wen Miyan reminded:
"He has already been disciplined by the academy."
Shi Chan's face showed no expression:
"What can the school do with that little punishment? From Class Two to Class Three? If he does the assignments and takes the exams, and performs well, he can be promoted back to Class Two within two months."
Shi Chan's black magic worked, and it was effective quickly. Within half an hour, the boy was sick with dizziness, headaches, nausea, and vomiting, so he asked for leave to go home. The car carrying him home apparently hit a tree on the way back. The driver had been driving for years, was focused, and hadn't drunk alcohol, so the tree collision was completely inexplicable to him, like seeing a ghost.
At eight o'clock, the school bell rang.
Fu Xingwei pushed open the classroom door. He held not only the textbook but also a brown manila file bag. He walked up the stairs of the lecture hall, getting closer and closer to Lin Zhuyue's row.
Fu Xingwei handed the manila document bag to Shi Can:
"A small team is enough for this new mission. Considering your partner is new, you can invite one or two more classmates to go with you. But be quick, the mission is urgent."
Ye Yangjia cursed softly: "Fuck..."
He stood up and was about to slip away, but he found that he couldn't stand up. Looking down, he saw a small paper man with its lower body stuck to the chair and its upper limbs plucking at the corner of his clothes.
Ye Yangjia turned his head and glared at Shi Can. If Fu Xingwei hadn't been here, he would have definitely greeted Shi Can's relatives.
Shi Can's expression was calm, as if he had never used any tricks on anyone. He looked up with a slight displeasure and asked Fu Xingwei:
"Why do you give me tasks so frequently?"
Fu Xingwei placed the file bag on the table in front of Shi Can and reminded him patiently:
"Before, you couldn't go on missions because you didn't have a partner. Last semester, you failed the practical test because of this. Considering your personal ability, the Spiritual Master House didn't let you repeat the year, but there is a requirement. You have to find a partner and make up for the workload."
"Your partner is in urgent need of growth, and there's no faster way to grow than directly engaging in actual combat."
Shi Chan has a headache.
But in a sense, he is a straightforward person——
Because he had to carry out the task, he didn't even look at the content of the task. He directly took out the task execution application form from the file bag and signed it.
After signing, he handed the application to Lin Zhuyue.
Lin Zhuyue also signed his name.
It was time for class. Fu Xingwei walked towards the podium and reminded everyone before leaving:
"Sign it and hand it in later."
Shi Can handed the application form and pen to Ye Yangjia again:
"Come on, my good brother, my childhood friend."
As soon as the teacher left, Ye Yangjia cursed in a low voice:
"Who calls you a good brother? Are you crazy? Aren't you a real powerhouse who can carry the whole game on your own? Do you need to drag me along?"
Shi Chan advised: "Complete the tasks to get more practical points."
"Do I lack practical points? Think about how many tasks I've completed these days. Two tasks a week. Now you want me to do three tasks a week. Are you going to tire me to death?"
Ye Yangjia was filled with resentment.
"I thought being born into a family like this meant I wouldn't have to be a slave! I never thought there were cowboys like you!"
Lin Zhuyue whispered, "It seems like the noise is quite intense."
"It's okay, that's just the way they are."
Wen Miyan took the task execution application from Shi Can's hand as if nothing had happened, picked up the pen, wrote her name on it, put the pen cap on, and said,
"Ye Yangjia, I have your seal. I'll help you get it."
Ye Yangjia: “…”
Ye Yangjia laughed numbly twice:
"You are really my good partner."
Wen Miyan laughed harmlessly:
"It's definitely better than your previous partner. Otherwise, you can disband the team now and partner with Shican again, and I will team up with Zhuyue."
A quarrel ended just like that.
Shi Can, with the pride of a winner on his face, handed the task execution application to Fu Xingwei.
Lin Zhuyue, Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia followed behind him.
Wen Miyan curled the loose hair at her temples with her fingers and smiled gently, but there was no telling how much evil was hidden beneath this gentleness.
Ye Yangjia looked extremely distressed and worried.
This expression made Fu Xingwei couldn't help but ask:
"Are you volunteering?"
Ye Yangjia nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Of your own free will."
Fu Xingwei slapped a talisman on the task execution application, and at this moment, the application changed.
It was originally an ordinary piece of black words printed on white paper, but after the talisman on it dissipated, the entire piece of paper turned black, and the words and the signatures of Lin Zhuyue and others turned gold.
"With this, the mission execution application becomes effective."
Fu Xingwei turned his head to look at the Spiritual Master's Mansion outside the window and said,
"Prepare the things you need to bring and go to the rooftop of the Spiritual Master's Mansion."
The four of them left the classroom together to get their travel bags for going out on missions.
Lin Zhuyue couldn't help but ask:
"Why are we going to the rooftop of the Spiritual Master's Mansion? Shouldn't we go find a car?"
Shi Chan checked the contents of his travel bag, confirmed that everything was fine, and walked out with the bag, explaining:
"The Spiritual Master Mansion bought us tickets that take off in two hours. We won't be able to catch the flight if we drive to the airport. So they're going to take us to the airport by helicopter. The helicopter has been preheated and is parked on the roof of the Spiritual Master Mansion."
Lin Zhuyue thought: There's also a helicopter?
But it's not surprising that there are helicopters in such a place. It's a highly confidential national security branch that handles special tasks.
They left the Spiritual Master Academy and entered the Spiritual Master Mansion building, taking the elevator directly to the roof. The roof of the Spiritual Master Mansion building was built into a dedicated helicopter landing pad. Judging by the location, there were about ten helicopters. Several were not here, perhaps they were out on missions.
The helicopter pilot yelled:
"Over here! Mission A1-C03!"
It took almost no time for the four people to find the helicopter they were going to take.
The driver turned around and glanced at the four students:
"Hey, you're a stranger? What's your name?"
Lin Zhuyue handed the travel bag to Shican, took his hand and boarded the helicopter. After finding a seat, she replied:
"Lin Zhuyue."
The driver exclaimed, and asked in surprise:
"Ling Zhuyue? Didn't everyone in the Ling family die out long ago?"
The topic suddenly went off in an inexplicable direction like a wild horse.
Lin Zhuyue was stunned: "Huh?"
The Lin family... When did all the Lin family members die? The Lin family members are still alive and well!
Shi Chan put away his travel bag, sat on the chair, and said:
"Lin in the grove! Ling? How can there be so many people with the last name Ling? Fly your helicopter and don't mind the spiritual master's business!"
"Hey, why are you so fierce?"
The pilot turned around and started flying the helicopter seriously.
"Are you all seated? If you are, we'll take off!"
Lin Zhuyue sat next to Shi Can. For some reason, she was curious about this "Ling family". She asked tentatively:
"That Ling family is..."
Shi Can was silent for a while before saying:
"It's one of the most powerful metaphysical families in Tiancheng, but the young master who was supposed to inherit the position of head of the family died unexpectedly nineteen years ago, and the others also gradually passed away for various reasons... The Spiritual Master's Mansion suspects it's a curse, but they've found very little."
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "Oh, that's a pity..."
Shi Chan thought her reaction was too flat.
But if you think about it carefully, it's nothing. In Lin Zhuyue's cognition, the Ling family is just a family that has nothing to do with her. She doesn't know anyone in the Ling family. It is already very polite to express regret after hearing about this sad thing.
They quickly entered the airport, checked in, presented their special certificates, and walked through a special passage into a small conference room.
Shi Chan took out the brown paper bag:
"There's still an hour until boarding. Let me briefly explain the mission."
Ye Yangjia was already sitting at the table.
Wen Miyan brought in a rather large volcano cake from outside, sat down next to Lin Zhuyue, handed the fork in her hand to Lin Zhuyue, and said:
"Let's each have half, okay?"
Lin Zhuyue felt somewhat disrespectful and looked up to ask Shi Can, "...Can I listen to information about this mission while eating cake?"
Shi Can nodded: "Sure, as long as you can listen, you can eat stinky tofu without any problem."
"Our destination is Qianniu City. The victims are two girls in the third grade of junior high school. Hoping someone could teach the other girl a lesson, they summoned the Pen Fairy in the classroom... Lin Zhuyue, do you know the Pen Fairy?"
Lin Zhuyue ate the volcano cake and replied:
"I've heard that for a while, people in my class were talking about it a lot. Some said it was from their past lives, some said it was from immortals, and some said it was a ghost. Past lives and immortals were just names used to deceive people... Although there are so many different opinions, I still don't understand what it is, but I have a feeling it's not a good thing."
"Yeah, nothing wrong."
Shi Chan nodded and explained,
"The rituals for summoning the Pen Fairy are similar, and there are many things that can be summoned. Some people summon fox spirits, and some summon land gods... But these are very rare cases. Most people summon ghosts when they summon the Pen Fairy."
Ye Yangjia asked, "Did those two girls invite a ghost?"
"Not only did we invite a ghost, but we also violated a taboo."
Shi Can was concerned about the newcomer Lin Zhuyue, and he had to explain a lot every time he mentioned a new piece of information.
"Ghosts, no matter how strong or weak they are, all have one thing in common - they are dead. So they are very concerned about things involving death. Therefore, when you ask the Pen Fairy to invite a ghost, you must never ask them the cause of death. If you ask, there is a high probability that the Pen Fairy will be angry and retaliate against the person who asked the Pen Fairy."
Wen Miyan put down her fork and flipped through the information.
Wen Miyan read: "After inviting the Pen Fairy, out of curiosity, I asked how the Pen Fairy died."
Ye Yangjia curled his lips:
"This is a textbook case of courting death."
"I was strictly forbidden from playing games like Pen Fairy and Ouija since I was a child." Shi Can agreed with this. "My parents said that if you play with your left hand, your left hand will be broken, and if you play with your right hand, your right hand will be broken."
"How are those two girls?"
Wen Miyan said, "One of them was hit by a truck and is now unconscious in the hospital. The truck driver said he wasn't drunk or drowsy while driving, and he had his headlights on. His vision was clear and he didn't see anyone on the road at all. A typical case of being blinded by a ghost."
Shi Can said disdainfully: "The truck driver was driving seriously and hit someone for no reason. It's so unfair."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Where is the other girl?"
Wen Miyan shook her head:
"His mental state was okay at first, but I don't know if it was the ghost of the pen or the fact that the sisters got into a car accident that scared him, but he started to become abnormal. He is now staying at the Qianniu City Mental Health Center."
