Chapter 164, The Director Who Plays with Pen Fairy (No monthly ticket required)

Captain Liu led Lu Yue, who had connections, into an office.

The layout inside is not much different from that of an ordinary hospital office, except for the row of safes of different sizes standing on the left wall, which is particularly eye-catching.

Lu Yue also met Captain Liu’s brother, Director Liu, inside.

A crew cut, bronze skin, and a resolute face... This familiar face instantly reminded him of the director in a white coat who had appeared on the day when Wuxingui caused trouble and killed people.

A man either wears white clothes to save the dying and the wounded, or wears military uniform to pacify an area. Now, Lu Yue can clearly feel the wonderful fusion of two different styles in this director.

And this white coat is not an ordinary white coat.

I didn’t notice Lu Yue’s low strength before, but now I see this.

This white coat is also a good magical weapon.

Lu Yue only needed to think about it for a moment before he understood the reason. This research department stayed with ghosts all day long. For ordinary extraordinary people, being exposed to such unlucky things for more than ten hours a day would inevitably affect their own magnetic field, so they needed magical tools such as white coats to protect their bodies.

It's like wearing a lead suit when going to the hospital for an X-ray scan.

Lu Yue and Captain Liu were only staying for a short time, so naturally they didn't need this kind of protection.

Captain Liu stepped forward and gave a brief explanation, then placed the leather painting fragments that Lu Yue had sent earlier on the table. He then told Lu Yue to wait outside and left the office.

Lu Yue sat upright like a bell, looking like an obedient man going to the hospital for treatment.

"Don't be nervous, I already have a basic understanding of your situation."

"Can I still be saved?" Lu Yue blurted out, then realized that this was not an ordinary outpatient department, but a ghost research department, and quickly changed his words: "I mean, how can we find the ghost painter behind this?"

Director Liu pulled out a piece of paper covered with handwriting from the drawer with an expressionless face, placed the leather painting fragment underneath it, and then walked to the row of safes on the left, and after a little thought, he chose one of them.

With the click of the mechanical lock, the safe opened. Director Liu took out a bottle covered with talisman papers, carefully peeled off the talisman papers, and pulled out a slightly old pencil from it.

This pencil is quite old and looks like it is from a previous era.

"If you want to find the person behind this, you can try the Pen Fairy."

Lu Yue was stunned and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

You, a member of the official Demon Suppression Bureau, are playing with the Ouija board?
Do you have to be so superstitious?
Is the end of science really theology? ! ! !
"This is an acquired evil weapon. It was originally discovered by a group of ignorant students while exploring an abandoned school. They then played the pen fairy game, asking about marriage, test answers, gossip and even life span... Eventually, they suffered a disaster. The vengeful spirits in the evil weapon killed them one by one. Later, the pen was found by the people of the Demon Suppression Department."

Director Liu explained: "However, the core inside has been destroyed, the evil spirits have been eliminated, and the evil weapon has become an empty shell. But if new ghosts are injected to nourish this empty shell, its characteristics can be re-activated and achieve the purpose of temporary use."

After saying that, Director Liu opened another safe, took out an urn covered with Sanskrit words, and placed the pencil inside.

The urn trembled slightly, then returned to calm.

"Okay, this acquired evil weapon has been reactivated. With this leather painting as a guide, you can ask for information related to the leather painting."

Director Liu handed the pencil to Lu Yue.

Lu Yue's eyes lit up and he touched the pencil as if he had gotten a new toy.

I didn’t expect that this research department has produced so many good things.

"Can it be played alone?" Lu Yue asked curiously, remembering the rumors online.

"The essence of the Pen Fairy is to make the user sink into it, thereby taking the user's life. It has nothing to do with the number of people." Captain Liu nodded and explained.

Lu Yue held a pencil in his hand, stood in the middle of the paper, and imitated the spell he learned on the Internet and chanted: "Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, you are my past life, and I am your present life. If you want to continue your relationship with me, please draw a circle on the paper... Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy..."

Director Liu's eyelids twitched slightly when he saw this, and he reminded him, "Don't bother. The ghost I just injected was impatient when he was alive. You can just ask directly."

Lu Yue was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted himself, cleared his throat and asked, "Pen Fairy, tell me where this ghost painter is, how strong he is, whether he is a man or a woman, what he looks like, whether he has helpers, whether he came to me because of the ghost chef, what is the relationship between him and the ghost chef, and whether there are any unspeakable secrets behind it..."

Lu Yue threw out a barrage of questions, and the pencil trembled slightly, but there was no response.

So he looked at Director Liu, and Director Liu's mouth twitched as he said, "This acquired evil weapon has just been activated, and there is some incompatibility between the evil weapon itself and the ghost inside. You have too many questions, so I have to ask them one by one."

Lu Yue suddenly realized.

This is just like a new mobile phone with a new system, it is inevitable that there will be some lag and incompatibilities.

"Pen Fairy, tell me, who is the mastermind behind sending me this leather painting?" This time, the pencil trembled for a moment, as if adapting to the new "system". Fortunately, it finally responded, and the tip of the pen pointed to several words in succession - "Guhe Village".

Lu Yue had never heard of this village.

Look at Director Liu again.

Director Liu also checked on the computer but did not find this location.

"The ghost in the pen is from the last era. Maybe it was called this name decades ago. The name of the village may have changed now. I'll ask my brother to check it for you later. You can continue to ask other questions."

Lu Yue nodded. With the help of the Demon Suppression Bureau, even if the name of the village has been changed more than a dozen times, they can still trace its origin. This is the gap between an individual and the state apparatus.

Then, Lu Yue asked a few more questions, but the pencil was not always effective and the answers it gave were vague. For example, when he asked about the relationship between the ghost painter and the cook, it replied, "They are both men."

Isn't this just a pure word game!!!

Director Liu explained that after all, this is only the second-generation version of the Pen Fairy, and the system is not very robust. Furthermore, the Pen Fairy is not omnipotent, so its answers to things that are beyond its capabilities are naturally unclear.

"Please continue to ask questions and ask more relevant information. I'm going to be out for a while." Director Liu glanced at his mobile phone, seemed to have something urgent to do, and left in a hurry.

Lu Yue played with the Pen Fairy alone for a while and asked all the questions he could, but gained very little information.

At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to try to ask Zhang Yaling for information.

It just so happened that the body bag in the backpack was related to Zhang Yaling.

Lu Yue took out the body bag and placed it under the paper. To ensure the accuracy of the direction, he even put a high-definition photo of Zhang Yaling that he had secretly taken with his mobile phone on it.

Everything was ready. Lu Yue tightly grasped the pencil and asked with bated breath, "Tell me the life story of the previous owner of this body bag, Zhang Yaling in the photo."

In an instant, the pencil broke and a scream was heard.

At the same time, the amount of source energy in Lu Yue's mind also increased by thirty strands.

This source of energy came unexpectedly. If it were any other time, he would have been extremely happy.

But at this moment, Lu Yue looked confused.

What's the situation?
Just asking, is this acquired evil weapon broken?
How can you, this evil weapon, die just like that? ! ! !

Even if you can't answer, you can just not answer. Why did you commit suicide?
Glass heart? Fragile body? Sensitive skin?

Do you have to be so fragile? ! ! !

Originally, Lu Yue was planning to ask the system in his mind about this matter, but he didn't expect that this acquired evil weapon would stop working when it came to Zhang Yaling's issue.

Lu Yue had not expected that the pencil would backfire, but now there was another thing he had to face, which was whether this broken evil weapon could be repaired?
Feeling somewhat guilty, Lu Yue quickly picked up the tape and glued the broken pencil together.

Soon, Director Liu returned.

I stared at the pencil wrapped tightly with tape and was stunned for a while.

"what have you done?"

"Nothing, I just told it a story." Lu Yue answered truthfully.

"what story?"

"Suppose there is a ship that can sail on the sea for hundreds of years, and through continuous repair and replacement, as long as a plank rots, it will be replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts are no longer the original ones, is the resulting ship still the original ship, or is it a completely different ship? If it is not the original ship, then at what point does it cease to be the original ship?"

"What then?" asked Director Liu.

"Then I asked a similar question. This acquired pencil evil weapon originally had an original vengeful spirit, but one day this original vengeful spirit was replaced by someone else, and you became a new vengeful spirit. So from now on, who are you? Are you still yourself? Where did you come from? What are you going to do in the future?"

"What did it answer?" Director Liu frowned.

"As you can see, it's cracked." Lu Yue replied without blushing or beating his heart.

Director Liu: “????”
