Chapter 102 - Reward: Hiring the Pen Spirit (2/2)

It was the same with the Murder by Midnight scenario initially. The mischievous Xiaoxiao followed behind Monkey and gave the man the scare of his life. It was only after Chen Ge solved the hidden mission in the Murder by Midnight scenario that the situation improved.

To have the lingering spirits inside Mu Yang High School listen to me, the simplest solution is to complete the scenario’s hidden mission. Chen Ge stuck his hand into his pocket, and with his fingers curled around the black phone, he came to a decision.

The Haunted House continued to operate, the incident with Qin Guang’s studio’s people an interlude that was soon forgotten. Chen Ge was busy until 4 pm, when the number of park visitors decreased. Chen Ge called Xu Wan over and had her get off work early. After Xu Wan left, he entered the Mu Yang High School scenario alone.

This was the first 2-star scenario unlocked by Chen Ge. Its scenario was placed at the stairs that led down into the underground carpark. In the future, no matter how Chen Ge expanded the underground carpark, the entrance would not be changed, so the first scary scenario his visitors saw would be this one.

He turned on his flashlight and headed toward the sealed classroom. The toppled chairs, tables, and the nametags on the lectern had been replaced, but one of the nametags was missing.

“Can you hear me?” Chen Ge stood at the door and shouted into the room. The uniforms sat on their chairs, and there was no answer.

After shaking his head, Chen Ge went to the female dormitory. He picked up the broken ballpoint pen and fixed it before putting it inside his pocket. After that, he wandered to the well at the other end of the junction.

In the video, Fei Youliang had been talking to himself beside this well.

At the time, he should have been possessed by several lingering spirits at the same time, and that was why he was rambling what sounded like nonsense. Chen Ge looked down into the well. It was two or three meters deep. Even if someone fell into it, they would not be injured. Why would they say that then? Is there another secret to this well?

Chen Ge was reminded of the door inside the bathroom mirror, the door that would only appear for one minute after midnight. He could find no answer. After inspecting everything again, Chen Ge exited the underground carpark and sealed the wooden boards.

He took out 5,000 from the staff breakroom before locking the door and heading toward the park management office. When he saw Uncle Xu, he returned his money and asked about the update regarding the people from Qin Guang’s studio. Uncle Xu told him that things had been taken care of, and he should not worry about it.

After handling all those miscellaneous tasks, Chen Ge walked out of the park and gave Inspector Lee a call. It was answered after three rings, but the line was quiet except for an extremely tense breathing sound.

“Uncle San Bao?”

“What have you discovered this time?”

“It’s nothing—I just need your help to find a person.”

“Not a murder suspect?”

“No, just a normal student.”

After receiving the confirmed answer, the silence on the other end was broken, and footsteps could be heard in the background. People flipped through the documents while other talked on the phone; everyone resumed their work.

Inspector Lee sighed in relief. “I told them that four times in one week is too much. The stress you give my men…”

“Uncle San Bao, the person I’m looking for is Chen Yalin. She should be one of the victims from Mu Yang High School three years ago.”

“Victim? You’re looking for a dead person?”
