Holding the exercise book in her right hand, she turned back to look at Zhang Jingyuan and his roommate, both of whom had gone pale. “Have you read the contents of this exercise book?”

They shook their heads wildly, “Who would dare to look at such a strange thing?”

“I remember that Zhao Siming threw this exercise book away at that time. Why is it still in our room? Did he pick it back up secretly?”

An Rugu felt that the matter was not that simple. She looked at the cover of the exercise book in her hand, her eyes lingering on the brown-red stain. “He probably didn’t pick it up again. This exercise book came back on its own.”

Other people in the room:”!!!”

Oh my gosh, this exercise book was so powerful!

She raised her hand, touched the reddish-brown part, and made a new discovery. “This stain, it’s real blood.”

When the others heard this, their faces lost all remaining color: their lips turned white, and they felt their hearts freeze in terror, feeling that things were getting more and more terrifying.

An Ru examined the exercise book from all angles. She had a premonition that this exercise book was the most critical point in this entire situation. Perhaps the two roommates suddenly fell into a coma because of it.

Before everyone’s frightened eyes, An Rugu decisively opened the exercise book’s cover—the words written on the first page came into everyone’s sight.

The handwriting of the owner of the exercise book was not neat at all and was a bit sloppy.

[The weather be sunny on July 5th

To my friends:

I am eighteen years old and a sophomore at Dongfeng Town No. 3 High School. I have excellent grades and good moral character. I am the monitor of our class. I also have good looks. People who have met me say that I am good-looking.

In short, I have both inner and outer beauty.

But now I am very lonely. I have no one to chat with, and no one to play with.

Now, I am downstairs of your dormitory, and my goal is your room.

I really enjoyed the ‘Spirit of the Pen’ game we played, and now I want to play another friendly game with you. If you want to play, please turn to page two.

Friendly reminder: If you don’t participate in this game, all four of you will be taken to accompany me.]

Everyone had seen that there was nothing scary in the exercise book, it seemed to just contain some ordinary words, so they boldly came over and read the words on it word by word.

As a result, when they saw the ‘Spirit of the Pen’ mentioned, it was only then that they realized that something was very wrong.

“This tone… seems to be written by the spirit we met playing the ‘Spirit of the Pen’.”

“And he is actually downstairs in our dormitory???”

Zhang Jingyuan and his roommate took a deep breath when they heard this, the hair on their arms standing up, and they quickly said, “I don’t want to play his game. Don’t turn to the second page!”

“But he seems to mean that if we don’t play the game, he will take all four of us away.”

An Rugu did not listen to them and turned to the second page directly.

[Congratulations on turning to the second page. I’m glad you are willing to participate in the friendly game. There are a total of four people in your dormitory room, and I will choose one of them to be my friend.

Zhang Jingyuan, Zhao Siming, Li Zhang, Su Kai: choose one from the four.

You can choose any one among the four people including yourself.

I will take away whoever you choose, such as your most annoying roommate.

Now, I’m at the door of your dormitory.]

Other people in the room: “!!!!!”

A stream of cold air climbed up their bodies, from their ankles going straight up their spines.

“He’s not really at the door of our room, is he?”

“He means that now that we have opened this exercise book, we have to choose someone to be taken away by him. Did Zhao Siming and Su Kai… choose each other?”

“Impossible, this book can only be read when you are awake. If you choose the other party, something will definitely happen to the person at the same time. But the reality is that Zhao Siming was the first to have an accident, and Su Kai followed, three days later. It must be that…”

Everyone felt uncomfortable. It seemed that their two roommates did not choose anyone else as a sacrifice, but chose themselves.

Zhang Jingyuan really couldn’t bear it anymore and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. “This spirit is really too bad. It wasn’t enough he took away one person, he had to take more. It’s talking like it’s giving us a chance to choose, but in fact there is no choice at all—it’s only the time when we will be taken away that’s different.”

The roommate had tears in his eyes, “I won’t choose anyway! I don’t choose anyone!”

An Rugu’s roommate, Zhang Xia, was also very frightened. She leaned close to An Rugu, anxious and worried, and advised, “Let’s hurry and throw this exercise book away.”

“It’s not okay to throw it away. From what the said, the exercise book will only come back after being thrown away. And I think that if we don’t play this game, that thing will use other methods.”

Zhang Xia was shaking with fear, but she still believed in An Rugu’s judgment and had no intention of running away. She forced herself to calm down and nodded, “Okay.”

Unlike her younger brother, who didn’t know An Rugu as well as she did, Zhang Xia had watched An Rugu’s live broadcast. Although she had never seen her catching ghosts, she had seen her giving advice on feng shui to others to drive away evil spirits.

This kind of ghost… An Rugu should be able to handle it!

An Rugu remembered the two pages they had read and suddenly became curious: Did this ghost really walk from downstairs of the dormitory to the door of the dorm room?

If this was true, then things would be interesting.

So, under everyone’s doubtful eyes, An Rugu flipped the pages from the second page back to the first page. The familiar words once again greeted people’s eyes.

However, before they could react, she quickly turned the exercise book to the second page.

Then, she pinched the page and flipped it back to the first page, then to the second page, faster and faster, so quickly it was almost leaving an afterimage.

Other people in the room: “???”

After a long time, a harsh scratching sound suddenly entered their ears—as if something couldn’t stand what was happening anymore and was now viciously clawing at the wall. Nails seemed to scrape against the plaster layer on the wall, making a sharp squeaking sound that made one’s scalp numb.

An Rugu heard this sound and made a judgment in her heart: when she turned to the first page, he would appear downstairs; when she turned to the second page, he was forced to appear at the door of the dorm room.

No matter which page she turned, he would be exactly where he was supposed to be—just as it was written in the exercise book.

A slight smile appeared on her face, which was as beautiful as the melting ice and snow. “What a principled game planner.”

Other people in the room: “…”

Seeing what was happening, their gazes when they looked at An Rugu gradually turned a little frightened.

This master, ghosts were bullying people before, but now she was the one bullying ghosts!

An Rugu thought for a moment. “If your room wasn’t on the second floor but on the top floor, it might be more difficult for him to run.”

Other people in the room: “…”

To think she could even imagine this scenario….

T/N: It’s funny because the name ‘Li Zhang’ will never be mentioned again in this chapter; he would always be referred to as ‘the other roommate’. I’d even forgotten he had a name 😂
