When Chen Ge heard the scream coming out from Mu Yang High School, he opened the boards and rushed into it. It was first day that Mu Yang High School had been open to the public, and Chen Ge was afraid that mannequins might take it too far.

Chen Yalin’s nametag by the entrance has been taken already… weren’t these people afraid it might be a trap? Hopefully, that nametag won’t pressure the Pen Spirit to do anything dumb.

Chen Ge walked down the corridor until he reached the sealed classroom. The mannequin on the floor was hugging its head. It seemed like it was trying to reattach the head, but it could not find the proper location.

Why is this mannequin outside? Chen Ge looked into the classroom. The tables were a mess, and several mannequins were missing their heads. Based on the conditions, they probably had the fright of their lives, so they wouldn’t be daring enough to bring this mannequin out.

Chen Ge picked the mannequin up from the floor and leaned her against the wall. Then he helped her reattach the head. He looked at the mannequin in her eyes. Perhaps it was the light, but he felt like there was soul in this mannequin; in fact, he could sense a trace of shyness and respect.

After taking out his black phone, Chen Ge looked through all the pages. There was no option related to controlling the mannequins’ lingering spirit, so he told the mannequin, “You can leave the classroom, but you cannot leave the Mu Yang High School scenario, understood?”

The mannequin did not respond, but Chen Ge did not care whether she got it or not. He placed her on the side of the corridor and entered the sealed classroom to reset all the mannequins.

There are four nametags in the classroom, and they have taken three of them; this group of people is not bad. Chen Ge moved swiftly, and when he passed the table in the middle of room, his feet knocked into something. Why is there a phone here?

…

“Did any of you hear the sound of talking coming from behind us?” Pei Hu’s legs were shaking, and he turned back to look every three steps. Even Xia Meili was tired of the man’s cowardice.

“Poor kitty, if you’re that afraid, just stay here and wait for us to come back.”

“Who are you calling a kitty? Meili, you did not see what happened inside the classroom. The place was dark, and I had to use the flashlight on my phone to even get a good look of what was happening. When I was focused on undoing the knot, the mannequin’s head suddenly creaked and turned around!” Even thinking about it now, Pei Hu was still afraid. He waved his hands in the air for a long time, and when he reached into his pocket, he gasped. “F*ck! I was too focused on grabbing the nametag that I left my phone in the classroom!”

“Then, go and take it back, why are you telling me this?” Xia Meili gave Pei Hu a side-eye.

“You want me to go back alone?” Pei Hu glanced behind him with a bitter expression on his face. The darkened corridor was like the open maw of a monster. “So be it, I’ll ask the Haunted House worker to get it for me after we’re out.”

He ran after the rest of the group, and the five stopped at the first junction.

“Just how big is this place? The path splits, and we can’t even see the end of the corridors!” Pei Hu squeezed beside Wang Hailong. “Brother Long, there’s still time for us to turn around!”

“Get away from me.” Wang Hailong was getting nervous, too, but he did not dare show it before Dou Menglu. “About a third of the time has passed, and we still have twenty nametags to find. Moving in a group of five slows us down greatly. How about this? Wenlong and Pei Hu, you go down the left path, and I’ll take Menglu and Meili down the right. What do you think?”

“We have no issue with that,” the two girls said.

“Same with me,” Wang Wenlong said with confidence. “This time, even though we failed the challenge, we would have explored the entire scenario; it’ll be good information for our brother.”

“Then it’s decided. The two of you’d better stick close to me.” Wang Hailong led the two girls down the corridor that led to the girls’ dormitory.

“F*ck! No one even asked for my opinion?”
