Chapter 2 - Red Paper Man! Awakening! White Dress and Red Dress!

Chapter 2: Red Paper Man! Awakening! White Dress and Red Dress!“Huh, a system?” Hearing the mechanical voice, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy!

Before Lin Feng could examine it closely, the fat boy in front of him suddenly shouted.

“Blood, blood, so much blood!” The fat boy pulled out his severed finger and cried out in horror, as the finger was bleeding.

“My ghost spirit is reacting too!” Another boy took out a fruit knife, and blood stains appeared on the blade!

“Ah…” The girl next to Lin Feng, who was wearing the ring, also cried out as the ancient ring on her hand started to heat up!

At the same time, many of the companion ghost spirits in the room began to react!

Some, however, did not show any response!

—

“Quiet!” at this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the classroom door.

Immediately, all the students shut their mouths and quieted down, turning to look at the door. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

When they saw it…

All the students gasped in shock.

Because…

A figure appeared at the classroom door.

However, this figure… was rather eerie!

It was a paper man!

Not a white paper man!

But a red paper man!

The bright red paper man stood there, with eyes made of red paper, turning to look at everyone in the classroom, making everyone feel a bit uneasy!

Though ghosts were everywhere in this era, base cities were generally safe, so these students hadn’t encountered ghosts very often.

Of course, they weren’t in a complete panic.

As such, everyone nervously watched the red paper man.

In the entire classroom, everyone’s gaze followed as the red paper man moved.

It took steps, slowly making its way to the podium.

Everyone’s eyes unconsciously followed its movements.

“You, you, you… all of you whose ghost spirits aren’t reacting, get out.”

The red paper man suddenly extended a hand, pointing like a dragonfly skimming the water at some students, and made a hoarse sound.

The voice sounded like an old woman pinching her throat.

The students pointed at turned pale.

“Who are you? On what grounds do you tell us to leave?” one student, not accepting it, stood up and asked.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the red paper man’s paper eyes suddenly glowed red.

“Ahhh!” The student, seemingly seeing something terrifying, screamed, began to convulse, and fell to the ground.

“Do you still have questions?” the red paper man asked the remaining students.

“No, no, we’re leaving.” The students hurriedly left their seats, no longer daring to question.

“Wait, carry him out.” the red paper man said again.

A few students ran back to lift the still convulsing student and carried him out.

—

Thirteen students had left, leaving about twenty people in the classroom.

A third of them had been directly eliminated!

“Alright, compared to them, you are the lucky ones. Under the influence of ghostly energy, your ghost spirits reacted, indicating that your companion ghost spirits are still there, unlike those unlucky ones. I hope you continue to be fortunate,” the red paper man said.

Hearing this, Lin Feng began to understand why his companion ghost spirit finally reacted.

It was stimulated by this red paper man.

And the reaction of the companion ghost spirits had finally activated his system.

“This red paper man… appears to be a powerful ghost controller’s companion ghost spirit. However, the ghost controller didn’t appear. They sent the paper man instead… interesting.”

Lin Feng observed the red paper man calmly, thinking to himself.

“You… you seem not to be afraid of me?”

At this moment, the red paper man suddenly extended a paper hand, pointing at Lin Feng, and asked in a hoarse voice.

It had noticed Lin Feng’s gaze, which was different from the other students!

Lin Feng stood up and said, “You’re not a ghost, why should I be afraid of you?”

“Very well.” Hearing Lin Feng’s words, a hint of appreciation was visible on the red paper man’s face.

Even though it was a paper man, it could display such vivid expressions. Ghost controllers were indeed unique.

“Then let’s start with you. Come to the front, and I’ll teach you how to awaken your companion ghost spirit,” the red paper man said in a hoarse voice.

[System activation complete.]

[Beginner Task: Successfully activate your companion ghost spirit to complete the task. Task Reward: 100 Ghost Spirit Experience, one Ghost Spirit Pill, one cubic meter of storage space.]

[Note: Beginner tasks offer ten times the reward, delayed for three days. No penalty for failure, does not affect subsequent tasks but no rewards will be given.]

[Note: Ghost Spirit Experience can be used for ghost spirit upgrades; Ghost Spirit Pills prevent deterioration of ghost spirits and increase the bond between ghost spirits and the host. The higher the bond, the lower the chance of losing control.]

At this moment, the system’s voice sounded again.

—

“Beginner task?” Hearing the system’s voice, Lin Feng did not hesitate, stood up, and walked towards the podium.

Awakening a ghost spirit was not easy, as it was prone to losing control. The school prohibited students from attempting it on their own.

After turning fifteen, students would be assisted by specialized ghost controllers to help them with the awakening.

The red paper man clearly intended to use Lin Feng as a demonstration, which was a rare opportunity for one-on-one guidance, perfect for Lin Feng.

Soon, Lin Feng reached the podium and stood in front of the red paper man.

The red paper man’s gaze briefly flickered with a hint of light as it looked at Lin Feng.

Because Lin Feng was exceptionally good-looking.

Then it continued in a hoarse voice, “Take out your companion ghost spirit.”

Lin Feng took out the bowknot.

“Bite your finger, drip blood onto it,” the red paper man instructed.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng bit his finger and dripped the blood onto the bowknot.

The moment the blood touched the bowknot, it was absorbed.

“Place it on your forehead, close your eyes, and concentrate on it,” the red paper man continued.

Lin Feng placed the bowknot on his forehead, closed his eyes, and was enveloped in darkness.

He then focused all his attention on the bowknot.

“If you can’t sense it, swallow it,” the red paper man’s voice came.

“Keep it in your mouth, don’t actually swallow it. If you can sense it, you don’t need to,” the red paper man added.

Hearing this, some students in the classroom felt uneasy, as some had companion ghost spirits like daggers or knives.

Earlier, the fat boy in front of Lin Feng had gone pale because his companion ghost spirit was a bleeding severed finger…

There were also similar cases, such as a student with a severed ear as their companion ghost spirit.

—

“I see it!” Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

Yes, he indeed saw it.

In the darkness behind his closed eyes, Lin Feng saw a white princess dress suddenly appear.

But soon, the white dress began to turn red.
