Chapter 112: Club Activities

Since Mo Qingyan had said so, I could only accept it.
At least she was still willing to go and check the situation for me.
I had no one else to rely on.
If someone like Yi Zhiqiu found out that I was raising my parents as ghosts, he would probably eliminate me first.

After returning to the classroom, I also told Xiao Qing what had happened last night.
She was also very worried and said that she would go to my house again after school.
This way, the leftovers at my house could be taken care of.

Nothing special happened during class, except that on the last English test, I scored fifteenth in the class.
I lost a few points because of the final essay.
I had looked at other people’s essays and pieced them together, so the grammar was a bit off, and I also got one or two questions wrong.

When I went up to get my test paper, the teacher looked at me with a gratified expression and said with a smile, “Student Xia Yubing, although you’ve lost a part of your memory, it seems your clever mind and learning ability have not declined.”
“I believe that with a little effort, you will soon be able to return to your original level.”

“Yes, teacher, I’ll do my best,” I said with a seemingly obedient smile, but in reality, I had no intention of studying hard at all.
The haunting at home was already giving me a headache; how could I be in the mood to study?

After school at noon, Xiao Qing and I went to the Supernatural Events Department again.
Zhuang Liangcai and Bai Shi were also there.
They usually came to participate in the ordinary club activities.
Xu Shan and Jia Cheng were also chatting happily with them.

Of course, in the eyes of Zhuang Liangcai and Bai Shi, we were all ordinary members of the same Supernatural Events Department, with nothing special about us.
They had no idea that there was another, true clubroom.

Later, even Bai Yue came.
She sat quietly in a corner after coming in.
It seemed that Mo Qingyan had called her over.
With seven or eight people gathered in the clubroom, it was a rare lively scene.

After everyone had arrived, Mo Qingyan first announced something, “Our Supernatural Events Department is preparing to add a new club activity, which is to help students by providing supernatural consultation and assistance.”

“Ah! I know about this.”
“Many students have come to us for help before, right?”
“Like seeing a ghost, running into an invisible wall, or having strange nightmares,” Bai Shi said excitedly.
This girl seemed to have a very outgoing and lively personality.

“Yes, and some students will come and ask us about strange rituals for summoning gods, how to see ghosts, or how to curse others,” Jia Cheng also said with a wry smile.
It seemed that the Supernatural Events Department had encountered many similar things before.

“That’s right, it’s just like before.”
“But this time, we are turning this consultation and assistance into an official club activity, providing supernatural consultation and exorcism services to students.”
“Bai Shi, write about this in the next issue of the school publication.”
“We also need to hang up a sign to promote it,” Mo Qingyan said.

“We can do that, but why the sudden addition of a new club activity?” Bai Shi asked in confusion.
Mo Qingyan smiled, “Of course, it’s because our previous activity of only recording supernatural events was too monotonous, and we didn’t have enough interaction with other students.”
“The student council would also question whether we were doing our activities seriously.”

This was, of course, not the real reason.
I already knew the reason for the sudden addition of a new club activity.
As expected, not long after, just as our discussion was heating up, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Xu Shan asked in confusion.
Outsiders rarely came to the Supernatural Events Department, except for those who felt they had encountered a supernatural event.

“This is the Safety Consultant, Yi Zhiqiu.”
“I’m inspecting the safety hazards in the school’s club building.”
“May I come in?” a voice came from outside the door.

“Of course, please come in, Teacher Yi,” Mo Qingyan’s face broke into a smile.
She was waiting for Yi Zhiqiu to come.

“Hello, everyone is here.”
“And you don’t have to call me Teacher Yi.”
“I’m not a teacher, at most just a school staff member,” Yi Zhiqiu said as he opened the door and walked in.
His first glance fell on me, and then he looked at Bai Yue, who was sitting in the corner.

“To us, you are also a teacher.”
“Please feel free to inspect.”
“If you find any safety hazards, please let us know,” Mo Qingyan said, playing her part to the fullest, her tone extremely compliant.

Yi Zhiqiu nodded and began to look around the Supernatural Events Department’s clubroom.
For him, an enthusiast club like the Supernatural Events Department was a top priority for inspection.
It might even be more important than all the other clubs combined.

Mo Qingyan, having received my message, had already moved all the Cursed Artifacts to the true Supernatural Events Department.
What remained in the clubroom were all artifacts, and most of them were of the lowest grade, giving off an amateurish impression.

However, Mo Qingyan had not hidden all the negative things.
The spirit photos hanging on the clubroom wall and the ghost stories on the bookshelf all carried some evil qi or ominous aura.

A club that collected and researched supernatural events like this would inevitably collect some real things.
If the clubroom were completely clean, it would seem very deliberate and out of place.
So Mo Qingyan had intentionally left some harmless negative items to disguise it as an ordinary clubroom.

As expected, seeing that most of the arrangements in the Supernatural Events Department were very normal, and the few items with a bit of ominous aura were all harmless, Yi Zhiqiu showed a satisfied expression.
He went to the bookshelf, picked up a folklore book, and started reading.

Mo Qingyan, ignoring Yi Zhiqiu’s presence, continued, “The new club activity is, if any students come to us for help with things like sleep paralysis, nightmares, or being plagued by bad luck, we will help them with exorcism and blessings, or provide consultation services.”

Her words were meant for Yi Zhiqiu, or rather, the entire plan for this new club activity was for Yi Zhiqiu to see.
As expected, as soon as she said this, Yi Zhiqiu turned his head and asked, “You plan to perform exorcisms and blessings for the students?”

“That’s right.”
“Many students have come to us for help with supernatural matters before, so I plan to make exorcism and consultation an official club activity,” Mo Qingyan said with a smile.
This was undoubtedly a good deed, which would leave a good impression of the Supernatural Events Department on Yi Zhiqiu.

“I see, that’s pretty good.”
“But how exactly do you plan to perform the exorcisms?” Yi Zhiqiu asked.
Although exorcism was a good thing, if it was not done by professionals, or if they pretended to know what they were doing and operated recklessly, it could backfire.

“I plan to use an artifact to exorcise evil,” Mo Qingyan was prepared.
She placed a box on the table.
When the box was opened, there was a wooden fish inside.

This wooden fish had a faint golden spiritual light, and it was indeed an artifact, but its quality was rather average.
In any case, it was definitely not as good as my jade pendant or Xiao Qing’s hairpin, but it definitely had an exorcising effect.
A wooden fish itself was an artifact for exorcising evil and calming the mind.
