8 min read2,075 words

Chen Lu stood in front of Koizumi, leaving only one sentence.

“Don’t go near the cabinet.”

Koizumi heard Chen Lu’s warning and moved quickly to get close to Chen Lu.

Chen Lu had felt the vibration of his phone, and he had triggered the check-in mission by jumping through the window and entering Koizumi’s mansion.

But now wasn’t the time to check the mission, he had to take care of the ghost in front of him first.

And Chen Lu also intended to try the second gear Ghost Eye!

After the effect of the suppressing drug, Chen Lu could briefly mobilize the Ghost Eye, only to see his left eye zoom in sharply, larger than his right eye, and his left eye turn pure black as well.

This time, using the Ghost Eye did not impart severe pain, but rather a tolerable itch.

Through the left eye of the second gear, Chen Lu saw the curse that had been parasitized on the three ghost students, and a pair of blood-red eyes existed at the location of their hearts.

This was the cursed bit!

Chen Lu’s hands were as red as a branding iron, and he involuntarily resorted to horrified tiger fighting skills, and a pounce rushed to the female ghost.

Compared to Chen Lu, who was proficient in martial arts, the stiff female ghost was obviously much weaker, and within a few rounds, Chen Lu hit the curse location, while the body of the female ghost that was broken up by the curse dissipated like black mist.

However, in two or three rounds, Chen Lu removed these brats and was temporarily out of danger.

Seeing Chen Lu clear the terrifying female ghosts, Koizumi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to the front of him, trembling.

“Thank you…. But who are you?”

Chen Lu’s left eye slowly changed back to its original form, after which Chen Lu didn’t look back at Koizumi, but pulled out his cell phone.

“My name is Chen Lu.”

Chen Lu, as he introduced himself, all the while checking the phone’s information.

And the gadget also popped up with a new message.

[Complete check-in, post a check-in task.]

[Check-in mission: Help Koizumi call for spirit. 】

Call the spirit?

What’s this again?

Chen Lu was stunned and finally couldn’t help but look back at Koizumi.

At this moment, Koizumi was secretly looking at him, and immediately dodged after seeing Chen Lu’s gaze.

“I, my name is Koizumi, thank you for saving me.”

“You’re welcome.”

After Chen Lu casually responded, he continued to think about the mission.

Forty minutes back, Chen Lu had chosen the Far Mountain House when choosing a check-in location, and the reason for making this choice was actually not complicated.

If one went to the haunted house, it would obviously be to burn down the haunted house, and even the predecessor, Rika, abhorred burning down her own house, not to mention Gamecock.

So if you choose to burn down the ghost house, you must be on the opposite side of gamecock, so wouldn’t all the scum plans you made before be ruined?

Well, although so far the scum plan hadn’t shown any real results either.

But out of respect for his plan, Chen Lu still chose to go to the Yuanshan’s house in search of an alternate plot.

And once he arrives at the Yuanshan’s house, Chen Lu had travelled ten years later and he also happened to discover that Koizumi was attacked.

So by accident, he appeared in this way.

“What does it mean to call a spirit?”

Forget it…Anyway, you have to complete the task if you want to understand it or not, so why bother yourself.

“Your name is Koizumi, right?”

Bending down, Chen Lu said to Koizumi, who was curled up.

“I am your father, Toyama Yuanshan’s friend.”

“You’re a friend of my dad’s? But you’re so young, my dad already….”

What Koizumi meant was that her dad had already been dead for ten years, so how could he have such a young friend.

“No need to doubt.”

Chen Lu told Koizumi in an unquestionable voice.

“Because I crossed back from ten years ago.”

“What!”

Koizumi apparently couldn’t believe the absurdity of Chen Lu’s remark.

But after subconsciously vetoing it, he recalled Chen Lu’s previous act of exterminating the ghost.

“Could it be…. What the novel said was true? Does anyone really cross?”

“Do you still doubt me? It’s okay, I also know a secret in your heart.”

“You want to see your dad again by calling his spirit, right?”

Chen Lu had slightly modified the information from the check-in mission into his own prediction, much to Koizumi’s surprise.

“How did you know that!”

Koizumi said in surprise, “I didn’t tell anyone about this…”

“I can help you.”

Chen Lu’s voice was low and sounded very convincing.

“However, you have to tell me your plan.”

“Can you really help me?” Koizumi couldn’t believe Chen Lu’s words.

“Calling a soul like this…. Is it really possible for such a ridiculous thing to happen?”

Koizumi was not only questioning Chen Lu, she was also questioning herself.

Chen Lu didn’t answer, it was up to Koizumi to figure it out on her own at this point.

If she didn’t want to call the spirit, Chen Lu would force her to perform the ritual as well.

After two minutes, she finally made up her mind.

“I can’t let my mother continue to be sick like this, I believe that as long as she can only see her father one more time, she will recover!”

Koizumi wanted to summon the spirit, not only so she could see her father one last time, but also for her mother who was in a trance.

Chen Lu didn’t care what Koizumi’s actual thought, he cared about only the outcome.

“Since you’ve made up your mind, let’s start now, you should have a method of summoning spirit.”

“Yes, I specifically went to ask a witch to teach me.”

Koizumi nodded and took out a workbook from her backpack, flipping it open, it was covered with dense hieroglyphics and a strange formation that couldn’t be explained in shape.

Koizumi then took out a bowl and a chopstick from her backpack, as well as a knife.

“So, shall we start now?”

Koizumi asked for Chen Lu’s opinion.

“Good.”

Chen Lu nodded his head and brought his attention to the highest level.

Chen Lu had heard of such things as recruiting spirit, and in the process of recruiting spirit, besides recruiting back one’s relatives, there was also the possibility of recruiting some lonely spirit.

Were there still few lonely ghosts in “The Grudge”?

“Then I’ll start.”

Koizumi breathed a sigh of relief, she was also afraid of encountering other wild ghosts, but it was good to have Chen Lu by her side, it put her at ease.

“I remember that’s what the witch taught me…”

Koizumi tore off the paper with the hieroglyphics and spooky phalanxes and laid it flat on the table, and twisted open a bottle of mineral water to wet the paper, which turned into a thin layer, but the handwriting on it was still very obvious.

Next, she placed the bowl in the centre of the formation, filled it with half a bowl of water, then picked up a chopstick and stuck it in the centre of the bowl.

Koizumi closed her eyes and called out with her heart.

“Toyama Yuanshan…. Come back…”

“Toyama Yuanshan…. Come back…”

“Toyama Yuanshan…. Come back…”

Koizumi murmured and repeated over and over again, her hand slowly loosening away from the chopsticks.

Chopsticks didn’t fall down after losing Koizumi’s help, still standing upright in the water, very strange.

“Toyama Yuanshan…. Come back…”

Koizumi became more pious, and at the same time, a gust of wind blew in from the broken window.

Chen Lu’s left eye moved slightly and looked towards the window.

Following Koizumi’s calls again and again, a person came to the window.

It was Toyama Yuanshan.

Koizumi’s call succeeded in inviting Toyama for the first time.

Toyama Yuanshan walked in through the window in confusion, and looked around blankly until he saw Koizumi in front of him, his expression was moved.

“Was it you who called me?”

The voice was illusory and fluttering, but it truly reached Koizumi’s ears.

“Toya…”

Koizumi heard her father’s voice and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly.

“It’s daddy, is daddy back?”

Koizumi shuddered and turned her head, seeing a familiar face and bursting into tears.

“Daddy, I miss you so much!”

“You’re…. Koizumi?”

Toyama’s consciousness gradually recovered, he remembered many things, and also remembered Koizumi.

“I’ve grown up so much…”

Yuanshan looked at Koizumi’s eyes full of doting and distress, and then looked around and saw Chen Lu.

“It hasn’t really changed here… How’s mom?”

“Mom…. Mom has been in a trance since you died, and she’s not as competent as she used to be, which is why I wanted to call you back so that you and mom could see each other one last time.”

“How could Megumi be so stupid…”

Toyama’s heart was moved, not having his home produced a drastic change, but soon his face suddenly turned pale and he realized something was wrong with Koizumi’s words.

“Wait… How did you say I got back?”

“I was recruited by you?”

“That’s right… the soul-calling I learned from a witch…If it weren’t for the soul-calling, I wouldn’t have seen you.”

Koizumi pointed to a bowl on the table with chopsticks stuck in it, exactly the same as before.

Exactly the same?

Chen Lu suddenly realised that the ritual hadn’t been destroyed, that the Soul Recruiting Ceremony was still functioning!

“Recruit the soul…. Recruit the soul!” Hearing the two words that beckoned the soul, Yuanshan’s face paled, “Quick, run away! Don’t stay here, Gamecock will come to you! Run away!”

Yuan Shan said these words, his face suddenly shocked, he made a struggling action, but one of his hands stretched out from the glass and hugged Yuan Shan’s abdomen.

Then with a gentle pull, Yuanshan was dragged out of the room and disappeared from Chen Lu’s vision.

Gamecock was here.

Chen Lu’s face paled, he knew it wasn’t that simple to recruit a spirit.

And seeing his father being taken away by a pair of ghost hands, Koizumi also looked extremely pale, her eyes were full of fear.

Ordinary people shouldn’t have to touch something forbidden.

The consequence was death.

Feeling the threat of death, Koizumi grabbed Chen Lu’s trouser legs and desperately asked for help.

“Help me, brother Chen Lu, you must have a way to save me, I don’t want to die!”

It was getting colder and colder around us, and UU reads www.uukanshu.com a chill rushed out of every cabinet.

“Help me, help me!”

Koizumi’s scream at the moment extremely affected Chen Lu’s thinking. Apart from dragging his legs, Koizumi had no other effect.

But Recruiting Spirit wasn’t over yet, the check-in mission wasn’t complete, and Chen Lu still had to ensure Koizumi’s safety.

“Calm down…. I will protect you…”

Chen Lu hadn’t finished his words, and all the cabinets brushed open.

Chen Lu didn’t dare to speak or even move, he was fixed in place.

“Chen Lu…. What’s wrong with you?”

Discovering Chen Lu’s strange appearance, Koizumi was also terrified and looked towards the window, seeing her dead classmate’s face once again.

“Don’t…. Don’t, don’t come over, ah!”

Koizumi kept backing up, backing up as hard as she could, and she eventually couldn’t retreat.

She bumped into the locker.

She didn’t know what was behind her.

Gamecake slowly poked her head out of the darkness of the cabinet, revealing her white body and blood red eyes, she reached out her hands and gently took Koizumi’s head in her hands.

And then dragged her a little bit into the closet.

“Ah, save me, Chen Lu save me, please…. Please…”

Snapped.

The cabinet was closed, and Koizumi’s voice stopped abruptly.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lu finally managed to slacken off and move.

After finding that there was nothing unusual, he sat down on the bed with fear in his eyes.

It wasn’t that he didn’t save Koizumi.

Rather, at that time, he saw Gamecock was talking to him.

“One, two, three, don’t move.”

This wasn’t a game, this was a threat.
