The scream of the man from the forest wasn't completely heard by the other people residing inside the abandoned building. The place is so creepy and the event unfolding before them that they couldn't focus on something else.
After all, they've witnessed a pen moving on its own without anyone holding it. It even answered the question Xue Luli had asked. This whole event remained bizarre and creepy for everyone.
"Let's continue asking. Who wants to ask the second question?" asked Fu Lian, looking at the rest of the participants surrounding the paper and the pen with him.
The other three scaredy cats all shook their heads and didn't speak as if mute. They were so terrified for their lives that they even wanted to scold their past selves that wished to participate in this kind of supernatural event.
Fu Lian looked at his quiet little brother beside him.
"Jingjing, what about you?" asked Fu Lian.
"I... I will think of a question first. Big Bro or Big Sis should ask next." replied Xue Jing.
Fu Lian nodded at him and then looked at his girlfriend.
"Lili? What about you?" asked Fu Lian.
Xue Luli flinched when her name was suddenly called by her boyfriend.
"A--... A'Lian should ask next..." responded Xue Luli but her shock was evident on her ashen face.
Fu Lian frowned a bit and was worried about seeing his girlfriend in this state. He wanted to finish this whole event and get home early. His eyes move back to the hovering pen on the top of the paper.
"Pen fairy, how many times could we ask you questions?" asked Fu Lian.
Then the pen trembles for a moment before writing the answer on the paper.
Seeing the pen move for the second time the three scaredy cats couldn't help shrieking with one of them even fainting from fear. The people in their surroundings started murmuring as well after hearing Fu Lian read what was written on the paper.
Xue Luli spoke, "Four? Jingjing you can ask the last question. Let's ask the others if they want to ask something. How about you three... I mean you two?" she asked the other three participants with one of them unconscious right now.
"I-I-I-... No questions!?"
"M-Me N-Neither!"
"Okay. How about anyone from the crowd?" asked Xue Luli.
The people who were watching from the sides all remained silent and moved backward as if wanting to run away. Obviously, there are already a few who took their leave after witnessing such a scene.
"Th-There is no question!"
"We don't want to ask!!?"
"Fuck this shit! I'm out of here!!"
"M-Me too!!!"
"Ah! Wait! You can't just leave!!"
Some students who were classmates to those guys tried to stop them but seeing them running away fast. They didn't try to follow them. The place is already creepy enough. It is better to be with the larger group than the minority.
"Big Sis should ask the questions. Leave one to me," said Xue Jing with a smile.
Xue Luli seems to always pause her words whenever Xue Jing is talking to her. Her eyes sometimes become dazed before it returns to normal.
"Sure. Pen Fairy aside from you? Is there some other ghost or spirit with us right now?" asked Xue Luli.
The pen trembles before it starts writing. They've watched as the pen wrote the answer.
This incomplete sentence was erased by dashing two lines over it as if pen fairy wrote it wrong.
Fu Lian was the one who read the reply of the pen fairy once again but this time his eyes stared at that deleted incomplete sentence written by the pen fairy.
"What is the meaning of this incomplete sentence? Is there something with us since the beginning!?" asked Fu Lian.
This question of Fu Lian made the rest of the people with him in this building gasped collectively. They didn't see what was written on the paper but there seem to be some problems with Pen Fairy's reply. Only the participants saw what really happened. The Pen started moving once again to reply to Fu Lian's question this time.
But for some reason, the pen was writhing as if fighting something. On the papers, the distorted circle shape and x shape continue to overlap on the paper. Seeing this horrifying scene made them want to run away. This time even Xue Luli is scared.
"L-Lian... Let's end... t-the game... End the game!" said Xue Luli as she grabbed the arm of her boyfriend.
Fu Lian with an ashen face nodded in agreement. He was about to ask Pen fairy to leave when suddenly the unconscious participant just now woke up and witnessed this even creepier scene. He could no longer hold back his fear and stood up from where he was seated about to run away.
"Aaah!! I had enough of this shit!!!" This man tried to run away.
But before he could even leave his seat, the other two on his side even Fu Lian had to grab him to stop him from leaving. If it is before the game starts or if the pen didn't move at all. None of them would believe this farce but this nonsense ended up becoming real. The pen really moves on its own!
"You can't leave!!"
"STOP!!"
"Stay here!!"
Three people held on to the man who wanted to leave. Unable to escape from the three men who were holding him down.
"AAHHH!! Let go! Let me go! I want to go home!!"
"Calm down. You can't just leave like this!!"
"We need to send away the Pen Fairy!!"
"You lunatic! Can we even send that thing away!!?"
The panicking man retorted back with a question. But what they didn't expect is for this question to be considered one of the four questions left that could be asked to the Pen Fairy. Xue Luli and the audience who saw the pen moving on its own again screamed. Xue Luli was especially shocked at what was written.
The last sentence written by the pen fairy left an ambiguous meaning to those who read what he replied. Xue Luli screamed because she could vaguely feel the meaning of those words. It means after the last question is made the rest of them wouldn't be able to ask anymore. Not tomorrow or in the future. Once everyone read what was written on the paper, this time everyone in the building ran away.
"I knew it!! Fuck!!"
