Cursed Ballpoint Pen

Cursed Ballpoint Pen is notable because it serves the following role: chen Yalin's repaired vessel, used for divination, possession, and Haunted House scenario work. Its importance comes from demonstrated use and custody rather than an assumed artifact rank.

History

Chen Ge receives the broken pen after completing most of the Mu Yang High School scenario. He repairs and carries it, while Chen Yalin—the Pen Spirit—uses it as her medium. The object preserves her connection to Wang Xin and gives the Haunted House a daily source of supernatural guidance. (Chapters 77–105)

Abilities and properties

• Allows one daily divination question, although answers may be incomplete or expressed through uncertain movement. (Chapters 90–105)
• Supports Chen Yalin’s possession and scenario work. (Chapters 137–139, 167–178)
• The pen can be damaged and repaired; it does not force omniscient answers or convert probability into certainty.

Ownership and custody

Chen Ge keeps the repaired pen operationally, but Chen Yalin is the autonomous spirit associated with it. The pen travels with him during investigations and returns to Haunted House scenario work. (Chapters 90–105, 203–209, 268–310, 368–385)
