Chapter 0077 – Paper and Pen on the Classroom Desk

　　The cab driver’s approach gave Chen Ge a very uneasy feeling, they could be said to be the most familiar with the city, knowing exactly all the places in the city that they couldn’t go.

　　”Is this driver misunderstanding me in some way?”

　　The cooler mat was thrown in the mud and was quickly dampened by the rain.

　　When reading the campus postings about the paranormal legends of Mureyang Middle School, Chen Ge hadn’t felt that it was that scary, but after being screwed over by the driver, his back felt hairy and he began to feel a little shaken.

　　”The requirement of this trial mission is simply to survive, which means that staying alive itself has become a test in the eyes of the black phone.”

　　In the blink of an eye, the cab had already disappeared at the end of the road, and Chen Ge stood alone in the wasteland in his raincoat, feeling like he was the only one left in the entire world.

　　The rain fell more and more rapidly, Chen Ge tugged the hood of his raincoat down, took out his flashlight, and walked forward along the dirt road.

　　With dark clouds pressing down, the sky couldn’t let in a single ray of light, Chen Ge came to the side of only a few buildings, and only when he got closer did he realize that these buildings had been deserted for a long time.

　　Rusty chains hung on the doors of the rooms, the glass on the windows had long been shattered, looking inward along the gaps, the houses were piled with broken furniture and garbage, and occasionally some unknown bugs could be seen traveling through them.

　　”Not a single living soul, is this place that evil?”

　　He had asked Fan Yu’s aunt before he came and had a general understanding of the surroundings of Mureyang Middle School.

　　Unable to find anyone to ask for directions, he could only grope his way towards more desolate and remote places based on his memories.

　　It was raining, the road was muddy, and both sides were full of oddly shaped trees, probably because no one had taken care of them for a long time, and some of them had already grown onto the dirt road.

　　”The old site of Mureyang Middle School is a crematorium, that place is not clean but there must be a passage for vehicles to enter and exit, this road is getting narrower and narrower, it’s hard for vehicles to pass, am I looking in the wrong direction?”

　　The rain was not decreasing, Chen Ge’s speed of traveling was getting slower and slower: “It’s not good if I get lost, walk to the end of this road, if I still don’t see the Mureyang Middle School, then I’ll return the same way and give up on this mission.”

　　After walking all the way forward for thirty minutes, at the end of the dirt road he saw a few pushed over signs and wooden fences.

　　”There’s moss growing on one side, it looks like it’s a few years old.” Chen Ge righted it, the writing on the signs was already blurred, he shined his flashlight through the rain, “Why is there moss growing on only one side, and the other side isn’t buried deep in the dirt? Is it because of the sunlight, or has someone been here recently and moved the sign and guardrail?”

　　He stopped and took out his cell phone to check the time, “It’s almost eight o’clock, the mission site has not been found yet, the only good news now is that the cell phone still has a signal, so I don’t have to worry about losing contact with the outside world.”

　　The sky would be extraordinarily dark on a rainy night, and the only source of light around was Chen Ge’s flashlight, “The sign and fence are all here, and what’s even stranger is that someone has flipped these things recently, very suspicious.”

　　Chen Ge lifted the wooden sign and swept away the bushes in front of him, and after walking another dozen meters in, the scene in front of him finally changed.

　　A row of crumbling wooden fences stood in the middle of the woods, and a few low buildings stood sporadically within the fences.

　　”This is Twilight Sun Middle School?”

　　Compared to the West City Private Academy, this school appeared much shabbier, with a total footprint estimated to be only a third of the West City Private School.

　　Throwing away the wooden sign in his hand, Chen Ge did not take it lightly in the slightest because it was a small place. Often times a small place was not necessarily a good thing, although the number of places to be explored became fewer, correspondingly, the number of places to dodge and hide was also reduced.

　　Going over the fence, Chen Ge officially entered Mureyang Middle School.

　　At a glance, all the buildings of the entire school were visible.

　　Near the main entrance was the school building, which seemed to have had a serious fire, with the skin of the floors blackened and some of the walls cracked, threatening to collapse at any time.

　　To the left of the school building was the dormitory building, probably because there were fewer people living in the school, the dormitory building only had two floors, and there were not many rooms in total. On the right is the office building, also only two floors, but only from the appearance, this building should be the best preserved.

　　Behind the school building was a playground with an uneven ground, beside which stood two basketball frames and several table tennis tables.

　　The architectural layout of Mureyang Middle School was just like this, shabby and simple, and although it possessed a lot of psychic legends, the school itself did not have any outstanding features. Chen Ge even suspected that the real reason the academy ended up shutting down was not because of the psychic incidents, but that it really couldn’t operate anymore.

　　After arriving at the place, Chen Ge instead became calm; he could always adjust his mindset very quickly as both came and went.

　　”There are four side quests in Mureyang Middle School, the Pen Fairy, the fifth cubicle in the toilet, the deep well, and the closed classroom, in order to unlock the scene 100%, none of these four side quests can be spared.” In the last trial mission, it was precisely because Chen Ge’s mission completion exceeded ninety percent that he was rewarded with the hidden prop – Wang Qi’s Finders Keepers – and it was also this hidden prop that helped him initially build up goodwill with the Little family and gain their recognition.

　　He was well aware of the importance of quest completion, but it was easier said than done, these four spinoffs, taking out any one of them was enough to be on par with the nightmare quests, not to mention the consecutive challenges in one night’s time.

　　”It’s not even past twelve midnight yet, it’s not when the filth is most active, I’ll go to these four places first, if I really can’t complete it, it’s not too late to leave.” Chen Ge stuffed the muppets into his arms and took out his tool hammer to enter the school building.

　　The surface of the walls were black, and after several years had passed, the traces of the burning were still clear.

　　”The entire building was burned, does this have anything to do with being built on the original site of the crematorium?” Chen Ge’s movements were light, he mentally kept in mind the quest hints on his black cell phone, at the end of the corridor there was a classroom with a seal on it, no one had ever gone in, but the classroom was crowded at night.

　　”Fan Yu’s father met with misfortune because he entered that classroom, and that classroom is most likely the source of all the paranormal events at Mureyang Middle School.” The weird group photo floated in Chen Ge’s mind, and this night, he might have to spend the night with those monsters with their backs to the camera, and he didn’t know whether they had faces or not.

　　All the classrooms were locked, and the doors and windows were closed, so Chen Ge could only lie on the window with a flashlight and look in.

　　The first few classrooms were not abnormal, until the classroom at the very end of the corridor, Chen Ge suddenly saw something strange.

　　This classroom desks and chairs were preserved nearly intact, the fire didn’t seem to have spread to this, what made Chen Ge feel that something was wrong was that on the desk in the middle of the classroom, there were books and pens and paper, as if someone had recently taken a class here.
