Chapter 1147 - Ghost Stories Reviewer – Chen Ge 2 in 1 (1/2)
“Yes, yes. This morning, I saw someone was sent to the hospital. The ambulance stopped for a while before the female dormitory. Now, everyone is talking about how the students who often bully their classmates are being cursed! This is karma rearing her ugly head!”
A few girls were standing together, whispering and gossiping among themselves. The most beautiful among them did not say anything; she just looked at the rest of them with derision in her eyes.
“Chen Wen, you’d better take this as a warning. If you continue to go cause trouble, be careful. You might also run into a ghost at night.” A female student with a coarse voice and a rather unisexual appearance turned to warn the student who had not spoken.
“Do you think I’ll believe these ridiculous stories?” Chen Wen crossed her arms. She guarded at the backdoor of the class like she was waiting for someone. The bell for class rang. Most of the students returned to their seats, and at that moment, a female student who was very casually dressed stepped into the class. She was wearing clothes that were bought at the market. She did not know how to dress herself. Her eyes darted everywhere but her deskmate, Chen Wen. The first class of the day was over. The girl did not dare leave her seat even though she wanted to go to the toilet. She kept herself glued to her seat, as if the moment she left the classroom, something bad would happen to her.
“You seem to have some issues with me, huh?” Chen Wen moved her chair to the girl’s side. If one was not close enough to hear the content of her voice and the tone of her voice, just looking at them, one might think they were very close friends.
“No.” The girl held her pen and kept flipping through her notes.
“Where are your manners? I am talking to you. Look at me. Look at me!” Chen wen’s arm landed on the girl’s shoulder. “How about we go to play together after school? Don’t be such a good two shoes. You’ve been wanting to make friends, right? After this afternoon, we will be friends.”
“But I have something to do…”
“Okay, so that is a promise. If you dare skip out on me, there will be hell to pay. I will see you later.” Chen Wen let go of her arm and took out her phone to start chatting with someone.
Her deskmate gripped the pen in her hand tightly. She was very afraid, but she did not know who to share her problem with. She did not know what Chen Wen wanted from her, but she was sure it was nothing good. Without any actual evidence, even if she went to the teacher, the school would not intervene to deal with Chen Wen. Furthermore, even if the teacher did choose to believe her, all the school could do was leave Chen Wen a warning. As long as they did not kick her out of school, Chen Wen and her friends would only make it their mission to make the girl’s school life more miserable.
This was the saddest point about the victims of school bullies. They were the victims, but they were the ones being ostracized, and sometimes, they might even suffer secondary damage from their family and the school. Her head was filled with what Chen Wen had said; the girl could not even pay attention in class. She did not dare speak up, so she stared at her textbook quietly. During the physical education class, the girl requested a break from the teacher with the excuse that she was not feeling well. She returned to the classroom to rest on her own.
“Should I tell the teacher? The girls being targeted by Chen Wen either become her friend or transfer from this school. She appears to come from a very powerful family.” The girl’s family had just moved to Xin Hai not that long ago. She had the feeling of self-deprecation of a newcomer. “I cannot create more trouble for my parents anymore, but… what should I do?”
“Chang Wenwen?”
The girl suddenly heard someone calling her name. She turned her head to the source of the voice. There was a young man standing at the classroom window with a smile. The sun created a halo around the young man, and the young man’s smile was as warm as the sun.
“That should be her! Quick! Pull me back into the comic! My body is about to dissolve under the sun already!” There was a shadow behind the young man who was struggling and pleading, but of course, the girl could not see that.
Pulling Chang Gu back into the comic, Chen Ge pushed open the backdoor of the classroom. “Please do not be afraid. I am completing a request for a friend, and I am here because I need a favor from you.”
The girl was utterly confused. She had no idea what Chen Ge was talking about at all.
“Have you ever had this dream before?” Chen Ge stood at the backdoor and softly spoke. “You dreamed about a blood red door. Inside the door, there was a school that only had its classes at night. All the students and teachers at the school were ghosts. When you were lost and in despair, a female senior appeared to help you.”
The words jogged the girl’s memory, and her face was overwhelmed by surprise. “How do you know about that?”
“Do you still remember what kind of promise you made that female senior?” Chen Ge followed what Chang Gu said and was slowly leading the girl step by step.
“She would help me escape from the nightmare, and in exchange, I would help her look after something.” The female student was very innocent, and she did not even consider hiding any information from Chen Ge.
“I am that female senior’s friend. She asked me to come to you to reclaim that item.”
Chen Ge did not look like a bad person. After a moment’s hesitation, the female student undid the first button of her blouse and took out something that looked like a pouch from around her neck. “All this time, I have been wondering whether that was a dream or not. If it was not a dream, how come I cannot remember more details about it? If it was a dream, how I do explain this thing that appeared in my grasp after I woke up that night?”
The girl opened the pouch. Inside was a red stone, and in the middle of the stone was a strand of hair that had been balled up.
“This should be the thing.” Chen Ge accepted the stone. The several Red Specters inside the comic gave him warnings at the same time as if this thing was extremely dangerous. “Thank you, I shall take this with me. From now on, your luck will slowly become better.”
Before the school security arrived, carrying the stone, Chen Ge hurriedly left the grounds of Xin Hai First High.
“Chang Gu, I have already obtained the object. What should I do next?” Chen Ge carried his backpack to the shadows of a large tree. It was as if he was talking to himself.
A shadow behind Chen Ge opened his lips to say, “That strand of hair is the last lingering spirit of my little sister. The red stone is formed from the blood of her heart, the most important drop of blood for a Top Red Specter.”
“Are you not afraid that I’ll have the other Red Specters consume her by revealing to me such an important information?”
“Naturally, I am afraid of that, but there is nothing I can do about it,” Chang Gu said with a bitter smile. “Even if I hid that information from you, your other Red Specters employees would notice it.”
“Don’t worry, I will fulfil the promise that I have made. I just hope that you siblings will do the same for me.” Chen Ge tossed the blood stone lightly into the air, and that caused Chang Gu to get immensely worried. “With just this lingering spirit and blood stone, your younger sister can come back to life?”
“She still need to consume some Specters first, but I have no idea the exact number of ghosts that she needs to consume.” Chang Gu lowered his head. He did not dare look at Chen Ge.
