At night, Mo Mo tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She was a little concerned about the legend about Zhao Wenting that she heard while eating skewers at the barbecue restaurant.

[Is she such a pitiful person? ]

It was late at night, and the room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window, like someone whispering. Mo Mo gently closed her eyes, trying to calm her thoughts, but what she didn't expect was that the red-clothed pen fairy mentioned by Ouyang Xiaoming actually appeared in her dream.

In her dream, she followed the figure of the Pen Fairy into a dilapidated swimming pool, which was filled with a rotten smell. The moonlight shone through the broken windows, casting strange light and shadows. Her footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every step seemed to step on her heartbeat. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the door behind her slammed shut. She turned around, but saw only a red ghostly figure wandering in the pool, looming.

Suddenly! A face as pale as paper appeared in front of her!

Mo Mo woke up with a start, her pajamas soaked with sweat. She looked around to make sure she was still safely in her bed, but the fear in her heart was hard to calm down. She guessed that the reason for having such a nightmare might be because she happened to hear this story from Ouyang Xiaoming.

Just as she covered herself with the quilt and lay down again to continue sleeping, the girl in the next dormitory screamed.

Mo Mo turned over and got out of bed!

Not only did Mo Mo hear the girl's scream, but some girls from the same building also stood at the door of the girls' dormitory wearing their coats and watching.

"What's going on? Do you know what happened?" One of the girls standing at the door asked Mo Mo.

Mo Mo just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either: "Let's go in and see what's going on."

At first the girl didn't dare to go in, but with Mo Mo's invitation, and the two of them going together, she felt less scared and followed him inside.

Another girl bent down and tried to help the girl who was squatting on the ground.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

As soon as the girl's hand touched her arm, she pushed it away with great force, and the girl's whole body was shaking.

"Don't touch me, don't come over here! Don't come over here!"

"This……"

"She must be frightened. I'll go inform the dormitory manager first. You stay here with her." Mo Mo thought about it, made a temporary decision, and turned to go downstairs.

When the dormitory manager and she rushed to the dormitory, Mo Mo saw a figure in red in the corridor.

"It's a pen...the pen fairy." The dormitory manager also saw it and was immediately frightened to the point of limp legs.

Mo Mo held her, a little puzzled. If it was just spread among students, it would be fine, but why would even the elderly dormitory manager be afraid of such rumors?

"You go to the dormitory first to see how the girl is doing. I will go and track down that person... the whereabouts of the Pen Fairy. I want to see who is playing tricks on me." After thinking about it, Mo Mo still didn't believe this unfounded rumor.

"Don't go, it's very dangerous!" When the dormitory manager heard that Mo Mo was going to chase the Pen Fairy, he immediately grabbed her wrist and advised her.

"Don't worry. If I don't come back in half an hour, please help me call the supernatural police for help."

In the end, the dormitory manager couldn't persuade her and could only watch her disappear at the end of the corridor.

Under the moonlight, the abandoned swimming pool is like a sleeping gem. The once clear water surface is now covered with a thick layer of green algae. The tiles of the swimming pool are already mottled, and the weeds growing in the cracks sway gently in the night breeze, making a rustling sound.

The moonlight shines on the surface of the abandoned swimming pool, reflecting a cold silver light, adding a touch of mystery and loneliness to this forgotten corner.

Suddenly, the tilted diving board at the side of the swimming pool dropped into the water, making a noise.

Mo Mo looked around vigilantly, and unexpectedly felt that this desolate land under the moonlight concealed a different kind of beauty.

The abandoned swimming pool seems to be quietly telling stories of the past, telling the laughter and excitement it has witnessed, and also telling the loneliness and oblivion it has endured.

Taking each step steadily, Mo Mo's eyes scanned any corners where he might be hiding.

Suddenly, a man in red appeared on the other side of the pool, standing there with his head lowered, his long black hair completely covering his face.

"Are you a human or a ghost? Are you a spirit beast in disguise?" Mo Mo said as he approached the man in red step by step.

The man in red suddenly floated off the ground.

Mo Mo thought he was trying to escape, so she quickly chased after him.

"boom--!"

The door of the swimming room suddenly slammed shut. When Mo Mo ran to the door and tried to open it, he found that it was locked.

After trying hard for a while, Mo Mo finally sat down on the rusty bench. She recalled and thought about everything related to the red-clothed pen fairy.

Suddenly, a fragrance lingered around Mo Mo's nose.

[Strange, this place has been abandoned for so long, how come there is the scent of Datura? ]

Since Mo Mo has Zhang Yiqian as her teacher in the breeding department, she is now a qualified pharmacist. As soon as she smells the scent, she can already identify the raw material in her mind. This flower contains alkaloids that can inhibit the nerve center and have an anesthetic effect.

[It seems that this is indeed man-made. ]

Mo Mo simply sat cross-legged on the bench and closed his eyes to meditate.

The scent of the datura flowers in the air became stronger and stronger, and Momo, who was meditating, frowned slightly.

She was gambling, betting whether this mysterious person would appear again, so that she could catch the real culprit on the spot and uncover the truth.

However, she still overestimated herself. Her body was no longer stable while sitting on the bench. Instead, she swayed with some effort.

The bad guy hiding in the dark smiled with triumph, as if he was mocking her ignorance and vulnerability, saying that she was about to fall into his hands and become his prey.

“Boom! Squeak—!”

The door that was originally locked was pushed open from the outside.

"Momo!"

Yan Mu, who was following the supernatural police and the dormitory manager, rushed to Mo Mo first and reached out to catch Mo Mo who was about to fall off the bench.

The moment the door was pushed open, a breeze rushed in and swept across the room, dispersing the smell of datura pollen in the air.

At Yan Mu's insistence, Mo Mo was sent to the infirmary for examination. After the examination, the doctor said that there was nothing serious. Only then did Yan Mu feel relieved.

"You! When will you take our agreement between us to heart? What should I do if anything happens to you? How am I going to explain to my family?" Yan Mu reached out and poked her head accusingly.

"Okay, I got it!" Mo Mo faced it with a smile on his face, as if he had already gotten used to this kind of scolding scene with his cousin.

"Yesterday, Ouyang Xiaoming warned me that the place was very evil. Why did you go in anyway? Did you really run into that red-robed pen fairy?"

When Mo Mo heard Yan Mu say this, she turned around and looked around vigilantly. After making sure that there was no one around, she leaned close to Yan Mu's ear and said, "It's true that you saw the Red-robed Pen Fairy, but he's not a ghost or a demon. This whole thing was caused by a human."

Yan Mu was shocked!

"Is this true? Who is so bold? This is in the Supernatural Bureau!"

"Shh!" Mo Mo made a gesture to silence him, then lowered her voice and said, "Keep this a secret for me first, and we'll come back later to find evidence. We'll definitely be able to solve this."

Yan Mu looked at Mo Mo's foxy yet happy eyes and immediately became furious: "You! I know you are very curious, but when you do these things in the future, can you consider your own safety first?"

"Brother Amu~" Seeing that he was still lecturing her, Mo Mo immediately used her trump card and started to act like a spoiled child: "At five o'clock this morning, just tell me whether you will help me or not? If you don't help me, I will go by myself!"

"Help!" Yan Mu immediately rolled his eyes at her: "How can I not help? After all, I am the brother who loves you the most."

[This little girl is really getting more and more willful. She doesn't even want to live anymore. What can I do? I just spoil her! ]
