Chapter 10: The Arrival
When Lily and the other four sat down, the people who were still complaining before all quieted down.
The red light in the room flickered, and everyone's face, both men and women, was covered with a thick haze. The room was eerily quiet at this time, not only did no one speak, but even the sound of their breathing seemed to have disappeared, a second, a second......
As this dead silence continued, inexplicable panic began to creep in their hearts.
Xiao Mo felt that the temperature in the room had dropped again, because his exposed skin had already developed goosebumps, and Qin Wanqing and the others were also hugged by the cold, obviously he was not the only one who felt this way.
However, although it was cold to death, no one in the room complained, as if there was a cold claw invisibly, and it was blocking their mouths at the moment.
The atmosphere of terror began to intensify as time slowly passed. In the process, everyone's originally divergent attention and gaze also began to gather towards the square table where Lily and the others were sitting, until it was completely frozen.
Lily and the other four looked at each other strictly, and even Yu Fat Man had no intention of laughing, but he didn't know if it was affected by this atmosphere, or if he felt that something was unusual.
"Alright, let's get started."
It didn't take long for Lily to finally open her mouth to break the dead silence in the room, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.
At the same time, Lily's voice, which was a little muffled, resounded again:
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on...... Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on......"
Lily had already begun to arouse the pen fairy, and the three of them swallowed hard and spat after hearing this, and the Adam's apple was beating back and forth uncontrollably.
They were nervous, as evidenced by their soaked clothes. Everyone's back was covered with a large sweat stain.
"Little orange (Cheng), the handsome guy has a bad premonition, do you have it?"
Li Shuai suddenly asked Chen Cheng at this time. Chen Cheng rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then replied a little listlessly:
"All the time."
"Is it the same with Wen Da Beauty?"
Li Shuai saw that Chen Cheng looked half-dead, so he glared at him fiercely, and set his eyes on Wen Qiayun's body again. Wen Qiayun's face looked a little panicked, and at this time she was staring at Lily and the others with all her attention, until Li Shuai asked her, she suddenly reacted:
"I also played the pen fairy game when I was in school, but it was all two people together, and as for four people together, this is the first time I've seen it." Speaking of which. Wen Qiayun added with a different certainty:
"I once saw an article on the Internet about the game of pen immortals, the article said that the game of pen immortals has a long history, dating back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, because people at that time were very popular divination, it can be said that everything must be divined. The pen fairy game originated from the great witch who was responsible for divination at that time, and it belonged to a kind of witchcraft with the same spirit.
Later, this kind of witchcraft spread to Japan, and was later known by the Japanese as divination yin and yang, which also played a role in divination. Each time an action is carried out, it must be carried out with the cooperation of four people. Because in this way, the psychic of the greatest Cheng dΓΉ can attract the arrival of powerful "spirit immortals".
But this divination of the future and turning evil into good fortune is really a forbidden thing. Therefore, every time the ritual is completed, it is very costly. The lighter spellcaster suffered a tragic death, and the heavier "spirit immortal" refused to leave, and finally endangered the people.
It is precisely because of its strong anti-phagogy that this kind of divination technique for predicting the future was also abandoned for a time. Until later generations improved the method. From four people to two people, this kind of backlash is a little less.
However, at that time, there were very few people divination, so this yin-yang technique also spread among the people. In the end, it became a pen fairy game. β
Wen Qiayun whispered what she knew to everyone, and after Xu Changle heard it, he subconsciously glanced at Lily and the others, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"You're saying the Pen Fairy game is actually a form of witchcraft?"
"I'm not trying to say that, okay." Wen Qiayun showed an expression of wanting to cry without tears, which amused Li Shuai and the others, Li Shuai explained to Xu Changle with a smile:
"I said Uncle Xu, what I mean by Wen Da Mei is that four people invite pen immortals is the most orthodox way, and the danger is much greater than that of two people."
"I'm sorry, but I thought it was too simple."
Xu Changle scratched his head and laughed dryly, except for Qin Wanqing, who still had a grim expression, the rest of the people all showed a little smile, and their hearts were not as depressed as before.
Because Xiao Mo and the others were still a few steps away from the crowd, and they all kept their voices as low as possible when they spoke, no one noticed them.
Soon, however, Lily's call rang out again:
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on...... Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on......"
Lily repeated the call over and over again, and as for the fat man, after seeing that Lily's repeated calls were fruitless, they also began to call in the same way, but they never saw any signs of the marker on the table to move.
"I mean, is this going to work?"
Finally, there were people next to them who couldn't stand it, after all, it had been at least half an hour since they entered this room, but they were just standing with big eyes and small eyes like now.
"If you want me to say Lily, if you can't do it, let's forget it, this thing doesn't feel too smart."
Yu Fatzi on the square table, as well as another young man, also echoed and persuaded at this time.
Xiao Mo saw that someone was beating back and drumming, and there was a trend of everyone following suit, and he began to secretly pray in his heart, praying that they could persuade Lily not to continue to invite pen fairies.
After all, inviting the pen fairy is summoning ghosts, and they are still four people together, if what Wen Qiayun said is true, then the summoned ghosts must be extremely difficult to deal with, maybe they will all be wiped out here, so he doesn't want this kind of death to continue anyway.
"It may be that we didn't call the same before, but this time we called it all together."
Sure enough, Lily didn't accept the advice of others, but advocated to continue the game. The other three people at the table were a little embarrassed, but seeing that Lily was staring at them with a gloomy face, they secretly swallowed and foamed at the mouth, and they had to agree hard.
Seeing that Lily was still insisting, the others showed a little anger on their faces, but this time they were not as reserved as at the beginning, and began to gossip and chatter.
The room became very noisy for a while, and Lily didn't stop it, but just reminded Yu Fat that they were calling together:
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on...... Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on......"
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on...... Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, come on......"
The voices of the four were not consistent at first, mixed with the noise of the room, and in a few moments, the voices of the four began to become neat, and then the calls became louder and faster.
As the call increased, everyone who was still chatting quietly closed their mouths quietly, and each looked at the four people sitting around the corner table in surprise.
Xiao Mo also glanced at Li Shuai at this time, everyone's eyes were full of worry, and they were obviously aware of the change in the atmosphere.
Yu Fat Man was sweating profusely holding the pen, and even he felt puzzled, obviously holding the pen and holding his arm was numb, but he just didn't want to let go of his hand.
No, it's not that I don't want to, to be precise, I shouldn't dare!
Yu Fatzi raised his head at this time and glanced at the other people, he found that including Lily, those three people were not much different from his situation, and one by one their faces were also pale, and their faces were covered with cold sweat.
However, just as the fat man hesitated to stop and persuade Lily to give up, his palm, which had not moved, suddenly moved.
In other words, it was the marker pen in his hand that moved.
"Pen...... Moved? Yu Fatzi stopped calling and asked the other three uncertainly.
"Seems to be."
After the man finished speaking, he asked uncertainly:
"Are you sure the pen moved on its own, and not someone's hand trembling?"
"No...... Know. The three of them shook their heads uncertainly, and finally Lily said:
"Is the pen fairy coming, let's just ask."
As she spoke, she said with words under the suspicious gaze of a crowd:
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, I am your present life, you are my past life, if you want to renew your relationship with me, please draw circles on the paper."
After Lily cautiously asked this sentence, about ten seconds later, something that shocked everyone's eyes happened, and they saw that the marker pen held by Lily and the other four began to mechanically swipe on the cardboard.
"I'm cΗo, the pen really moved!"
"Whose hand did it happen on purpose? Isn't it all a lie? β
"True or false......"
When they saw the marker on the cardboard begin to move slowly, everyone in the room couldn't help but feel a little commotion, apparently suspecting that the pen was not moving by themselves, but was controlled by one of the four people.
"Really...... It's really moving on its own! β
Yu Fatzi exerted his strength to feed, in a vain attempt to pull back the marker that was moving towards Lily, but his little strength, compared with the strength transmitted from the marker, was undoubtedly equivalent to sinking into the sea.
With Yu Fatzi's exclamation and the horror on his face, everyone was speechless with horror. After a while, a circle appeared crookedly on the cardboard.
Obviously, the pen fairy has been invited by them!
"Suck!"
Most of the people in the room gasped at this point, and everyone's eyes widened in horror and their mouths opened wide, as if they didn't know what to do.
"Let's get back to the door first."
Xiao Mo thought about it and reminded Li Shuai and the others. (To be continued......)
