In the dormitory, it was still quiet! No one was making noise, and Surin remained seated, motionless.
"Feifei, why did you call us to this Old Dormitory Building? It's far from the University, and the whole building feels eerie and creepy!" Xia Xiaoyu entered the dormitory, drying her damp hair with a towel while speaking to Liu Feifei.
"This place has more atmosphere! And I'm not exaggerating; didn't someone die in this Dormitory Building before? People say it's quite strange!" Liu Feifei replied dismissively.
"Ah, no way!"
Lin Xi looked at Liu Feifei in disbelief.
"Shh, keep your voices down. This matter is forbidden to discuss. I only told you because of our relationship; make sure not to spread it!" Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Liu Feifei quickly made a gesture for silence.
"Feifei, how can you be like this? You clearly know something happened here, yet you want us to move in!" Upon hearing that someone had died in the building, Lin Xi's expression changed dramatically.
"It's normal for deaths to occur at universities; many universities have had incidents. Some students succumb to overwhelming pressure and lose hope. What are you all afraid of? Nothing has happened here in all these years. I just want us to live here and see how those who love to spread rumors react..." Liu Feifei said indignantly.
"Hmph, I think there's something wrong with this building. When I moved into the dormitory, it felt so gloomy and eerie. Plus, there's only this old building around; it's terrifying..." Lin Xi said angrily.
"Xiao Xi, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for bringing you here? If you're scared, you can leave! I don't mind living here alone!" Hearing Lin Xi's dismissive tone, Liu Feifei's temper flared up.
"Well, you should at least consider everyone's feelings..." Lin Xi became increasingly agitated.
"Stop arguing! Can you both say less? Liu Feifei, think about how your actions affect everyone. And Xiao Xi, stop getting angry so easily. We're already moved in; besides, we’re not the only ones living in this dormitory. What’s there to be afraid of..."
Seeing that the two were getting louder and louder, Xia Xiaoyu stood up decisively to stop them!
"What’s wrong with me? I just brought everyone together; it’s just that some people are too timid to stay..."
Liu Feifei glanced at Lin Xi and said.
"You..."
Lin Xi was about to argue back when Surin, sitting across the bed, lifted her head.
Her eyes, glowing like ethereal lights, sent chills down everyone’s spine...
"Have you all finished arguing..."
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly froze. Facing Surin's words, which were as indifferent as a corpse's, there was not a hint of expression. It made everyone feel a chill rising from their feet.
Everyone fell silent...
Beep...
A long sound broke the silence after a while; no one in the dormitory was startled because it was the Quartz Clock announcing the time...
Midnight had struck...
Outside, it was pitch black, with no moon; everything was shrouded in darkness. Not a glimmer of light could be seen...
"Let's play Spirit Game; it's just the right time..." Liu Feifei looked at Xia Xiaoyu and Tian Xiaojing, then at Chen Mumu before saying.
"Feifei, do we really have to play? What if it summons..." Liu Feifei had already briefly explained the rules of the game at the beginning.
Chen Mumu was quite interested, but upon hearing that someone had died in this dormitory before, and now it was midnight, she felt a bit scared.
"I don't believe it! I'm interested in mysterious and unknown things, but only within the realm of interest. I want to prove to everyone that there aren't so many strange things in this world..."
Liu Feifei was determined; it seemed that even if no one else participated, she would still play.
"I'll join you..."
Tian Xiaojing pondered for a moment and said quietly.
"Alright, I'll join too!" Chen Mumu said softly.
"Xia Xiaoyu, what about you?"
The three of them turned their gazes toward Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu remained silent for a long time before nodding. Then everyone looked at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi raised her head; since she was the timid one among them, no one pressured her.
Lin Xi glanced at Liu Feifei, seemingly noticing the disdain flickering in her eyes.
"Play if you want? I'm not scared!" Lin Xi pouted defiantly.
Naturally, they did not invite Surin; she was quite strange and always exuded an indescribable aura.
The rules of the game were very simple...
Turn off the lights, then light a red candle in each corner of the dormitory—southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. In the center of the dormitory, place a stand with a pen and a piece of white paper.
The dormitory door should be left slightly ajar, and you must be sincere!
All four participants should join their hands together with one hand, holding the pen in the middle so that its tip lightly touches the paper. They should remain quiet and think about inviting the Spirit of the Pen to answer their questions. After contemplating their questions, they should relax their hands and let the pen move naturally. When they wish to conclude, they should think about thanking the Spirit of the Pen and ask it to return before releasing their hands. Essentially, that’s all there is to it.
As the four people sit down and prepare, they should silently recite the incantation to summon the Spirit of the Pen.
“Spirit of the Pen, Spirit of the Pen, you are my past life, I am your present life. If you wish to continue our connection, please draw a circle on the paper…”
The recitation must be sincere. The Spirit of the Pen is said to be one of the most mysterious and popular spirit games in China because it can predict the future.
You may ask questions about yourself or future matters, such as inquiries about your crush…
However, it is strictly forbidden to ask questions about the Spirit of the Pen itself, such as how you died…
It is rumored that while summoning spirits is easy, sending them away can be difficult. Sometimes, this may attract evil spirits or similar malevolent entities. If you cannot send them away, you could find yourself in trouble…
Moreover, before all questions are asked, the candles in each corner must continue burning without extinguishing. During this time, it is crucial that no questions are left unanswered while the candles are still lit.
If at any point during the game they do not complete it or fail to send away the Spirit of the Pen before finishing, all four participants must not release their hands.
