Shi Xi pointed at the blood on Ji Mingxu's face and asked the novelist: "This, wasn't done by you?"

Ji Mingxu cooperated by turning his face to the side, completely revealing the marks on it: "When I was outside the door, a piece of waste paper with bloody words stuck to my face."

Afterwards, he went to wash his face, but the bloodstains were not washed away. Shi Xi told him that he had to find the vengeful spirit that did it before he could completely solve the problem.

The novelist said calmly, "I don't have such a bad taste. You guessed right, Ruoruo did open the manuscript and woke me up. During this time, an evil spirit sneaked into the bookstore and caused some chaos. When I woke up, the evil spirit was about to take over Ruoruo's body."

"I couldn't beat it, so I took the initiative to possess Ruoruo. This is my special ability. As long as I don't take the initiative to come out, it has no other way."

Shi Xi didn't completely trust her yet, but he followed her words and said, "If she's possessed for too long, her body won't be able to bear it."

"Yes, not long after I was possessed, I received a call from Mr. Jiaming. It turned out that Ruoruo had contacted an exorcist," the novelist said. "I knew how powerful the evil spirits were, and I was worried that the exorcists who came here wouldn't be able to handle it, so I designed a small scam to test it out. If they are not capable enough, I will drive them away."

"So you've been planning this scam since we talked on the phone..." Jiaming's cheeks flushed red. "I didn't realize that. If I had come here alone, I would have returned empty-handed."

"Not necessarily. You are not sharp enough, but you reacted well when you were provoked by the evil spirit outside the door." The novelist smiled faintly: "I will make a comprehensive assessment."

"You are the real client," Ji Mingxu did not completely let down his guard and asked, "So, can you tell us the real situation now?"

The novelist turned the cup and said in a deep voice: "Of course, I guess it is an evil ghost that relies on taking the bodies of living people to move. The blood and resentment in it are too heavy."

After hearing this, Shi Xi and Jia Ming thought of the same name at the same time and looked at each other.

Before I could say anything, the lights in the bookstore suddenly went out, leaving only a few dim lights coming in through the windows.

With the help of this little light, Shi Xi saw a pair of huge dark hands stretching out from the ground and grabbing Ruoruo's body!

Shi Xi understood immediately that the black shadow wanted to force out the novelist who possessed Ruoruo by hurting her body!

It was indeed successful. The moment the body was caught, a pale soul emerged from Ruoruo's body, fiercely bit the black shadow, and tore it off Ruoruo's body!

Two souls, one black and one white, fought into a ball and were blown up to the second floor like the wind.

The novelist only left one sentence: "Take good care of Ruoruo!"

Because of these people, the novelist felt at ease to leave Ruoruo's body and fight the evil spirit.

After taking a look at Ruoruo lying on the table, Shi Xi immediately made a decision: "Jia Ming stays to protect Ruoruo, and Teacher Ji brings the live broadcast equipment and follows me!"

The two of them responded quickly, Ji Mingxu took the equipment and followed Shi Xi up to the second floor.

Shi Xi took out a talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the stairs, blocking the evil spirit from going downstairs.

The camera trembled slightly along with Ji Mingxu, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was equally tense.

[Did you see it? I seemed to see a strange shadow grabbing Ruoruo... Was it my eyes that were blurry? ]

[I saw it too, 3D projection? Special effects? It can't be a real ghost! ]

[What are you thinking? How can there be ghosts in this world? They are all made up by the anchor! ]

However, there are also many discordant voices mixed in.

[Why are there so many people watching this ghost hunting live broadcast? The scenes are very ordinary, all thanks to the NPCs making up the story, there are no big scenes, only the bloody face at the beginning and the identity reversal at the end are a little interesting. ]

[Because it is a celebrity live broadcast, there are more viewers, all of whom come to see the faces. Who would really watch this if they are a fan of the ghost? The ghost Xiaoyuzi has started broadcasting, that is exciting. ]

[I was wondering why there are so many critical comments all of a sudden. It turns out that a certain anchor who is famous for marketing has started broadcasting. Fans of this stinky fish, get out of here and stop trying to make a name for yourself.]

After Shi Xi went upstairs, Jia Ming put a talisman on Ruoruo to dispel evil spirits and calm the mind, opened the live broadcast room on his mobile phone, and followed the dynamics of Shi Xi.

Seeing these provocative comments, he frowned. He had some impression of this anchor. He used to be an anchor who mainly broadcast script-killing and escape room. Recently, he transformed into a ghost-hunting anchor. His marketing direction is "the first ghost-hunting anchor in the whole network". It seems that the live broadcast time overlapped.

The live broadcast platform arranged a moderator for Shi Xi and Jia Ming's live broadcast. Jia Ming sent them a private message, asking them to mute the viewers who came here to recommend other anchors, and continue to focus on Shi Xi.

In the live broadcast room, the second floor was even darker than the first floor and was abnormally quiet.

No one knew where the novelist and the evil ghost had gone. Shi Xi pressed the light switch, and the chandelier above his head and the small spotlights on the wall lit up together, and then flickered strangely.

In the flickering lights, the audience followed the camera and saw the scene on the second floor. The walls and the ground were covered with bloody and crooked words - Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome...

The bookshelf was covered with bloody handprints, and the floor was covered with a lot of spread-out white papers with blurry human faces printed on them, rustling in the cold wind.

[My scalp exploded! ! ]

【This is simply spiritual pollution! 】

[I said before that this live broadcast room doesn't have any big scenes! This scene is more realistic than escape room variety shows and supernatural movies! 】

Fans of Tan Ling Xiao Yu Zai are stubborn.

[That's it? This is just normal, don't brag! ]

Shi Xi's fans are just having fun:

[With Xiao Yuzai's live broadcasting skills, how dare he come to challenge Xiao Shi and Jia Ming? Isn't this just making your anchors laugh in front of everyone? ]

What's even funnier is that no matter how Xiao Yuzai's fans and internet trolls tried to stir up trouble, Shi Xi ignored them, and the audience in the live broadcast room had no intention of leaving. They were too lazy to even go to Xiao Yuzai's room to curse people, as the live broadcast here was at a critical moment!

Shi Xi ignored the faulty lights and walked towards the place where the resentment was thick: "Teacher Ji, follow closely."

"Yeah!" Mr. Ji Mingxu, one of the top traffic stars in the entertainment industry who may not even be hired with an eight-figure salary, was obediently serving as an intern in Shixi's live broadcast room.

Walking around a row of bookshelves, several desks for customers to read appeared in front of us. This place was not spared either, with bloody hand prints and crazy claw marks everywhere.

The camera followed Shi Xi's sight and pointed to a corner. A huge dark figure suddenly appeared in the camera. The dark figure noticed the arrival of the uninvited guest, uttered an ambiguous laugh, and slowly turned back.

"Zizi——" The live broadcast room suddenly malfunctioned and became pitch black.

【Ahhh, it's here! The live broadcast room malfunction is late but it's here! 】

[My heart almost stopped when that thing turned around! Is the malfunction in the live broadcast room also considered forced blurring? What on earth is that thing? It feels so oppressive. ]

[Maybe it's a ball of black slime (No)]

Only sounds could be heard in the live broadcast room, but no images could be seen. However, Shi Xi was not affected at all. The huge black shadow turned around, revealing a pair of small eyes, with the left eye glowing a strange yet familiar scarlet color.

"Come here?" The shadow narrowed his eyes and waved at the camera. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, with a malicious smile: "Are you filming me? I won the fight, is there any audience to give me a tip?"

The black shadow stretched out his hand and pulled the novelist out from the corner. The novelist's soul was flying outwards and was about to be shattered and disappear completely.

Shi Xi gritted his teeth and used the blood on the ground to draw a magic circle, sealing the novelist's scattered soul in this space.

"You like being on camera, right?" Shi Xi took out a marker and looked into the shadow's eyes. "You are too yin right now. The live broadcast room is malfunctioning and nothing can be captured."

"That won't do." The black shadow made being on camera a top priority. He threw the weak novelist aside, shrank his huge body to the size of a normal person, and restrained his negative energy.

As soon as the live broadcast room screen was restored, the audience saw a black shadow walking towards Shi Xi. It had no mouth, but its voice echoed throughout the space: "I recognized you. The master is looking for you. If I kill you, I can get more energy."

The camera trembled, and Ji Mingxu looked at Shi Xi nervously: "Shi Xiao, can I help?"

Shi Xi looked back, his eyes calm: "Yes, the quality of the live broadcast depends on you, so hold the live broadcast equipment firmly."

"Wow, I never looked at you carefully, you are so handsome," the black shadow suddenly stared at Ji Mingxu, his scarlet eyes flashing with excitement: "What an ideal vessel!"

No one could see clearly what the black shadow did. It seemed like it just blinked, and then it emerged from the ground in front of the camera and reached out to grab Ji Mingxu's neck!

As soon as the fingers touched Ji Mingxu's skin, the shadow could no longer move forward an inch. A pale hand stretched out from the side, grabbed its neck, and threw it aside.

Teacher Zhuang avoided the camera and asked in a clear voice: "Xiao Shi, can I throw it to this position?"

"Okay." Shi Xi drew a talisman in the air and hit the black shadow, sealing it on the ground: "You are so arrogant, I thought you were a powerful character, but you are nothing more than this."

The cold touch on his neck had not yet subsided, and Ji Mingxu's heart almost jumped out, but he did not forget his agreement with Shi Xi and steadily captured the scene.

Jiaming was running up to the second floor in a hurry with Ruoruo, who was worried about the novelist after waking up, when he saw this scene.

Ruoruo was originally frightened by the black shadow on the ground. When she saw the novelist lying in the corner, so weak that his soul and body were almost transparent, her eyes reddened and she hurried over.

"Tonight is your graduation exam," Shi Xi looked at Jia Ming, "You will finish it."

"Okay." Jiaming took a deep breath, took out a mahogany dagger with spells written on it from his pocket, and stabbed it into the black shadow's chest! The black shadow howled miserably, and his soul flew away.

With a "dong" sound, a crystal clear blood jade fell to the ground.

Jiaming took out the sealed bottle, carefully filled the bottle, and handed it to Shixi.

"Too fast," Shi Xi imparted his experience to him seriously: "This is a rare opportunity, you can use it to practice talismans."

Jiaming made a "learned" sound: "I'll pay attention next time!"

Ji Mingxu: “…”

[One dares to teach and the other dares to learn. However, congratulations to Jiaming for graduating! ]

【How is the novelist? 】

[How did they achieve this live broadcast effect? ​​It's so powerful! I couldn't even breathe when I watched it just now. ]

[Just now, a very beautiful hand appeared on camera, with long and slender fingers, neatly trimmed nails, and a very sweet voice. Who is it? Is it a hidden NPC? Can you let him show his face? I will give the anchor ten meteor showers! ]

【Why are Xiaoyuzi's fans silent? 】

[I can’t stand being a fan! Don’t disturb me while I’m watching the live broadcast, I want to know how the novelist is doing! ]

【……】

After the black shadow was physically reincarnated, the blood on Ji Mingxu's face disappeared, but the finger marks on his neck remained.

Shi Xi and Jia Ming worked together to gather the novelist's wandering soul and temporarily sealed it in a bottle.

The figurine-sized novelist sat in the bottle. Because his soul had not yet fully returned to its original state, his face seemed to be covered with a veil and could not be seen clearly.

The yin energy is so shallow that even the camera can’t capture it.

Facing Ruoruo's worried gaze, the novelist comforted her in a gentle voice: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Ruoruo pursed her lips, tears falling down: "It's all because of protecting me that you became like this."

"It's really okay," the novelist stood up and put his hand on the bottle. "I don't feel any pain at all. I will recover soon."

Ruoruo's tears fell even harder. She looked at Shi Xi: "Shi Xiao, will she really recover?"

"I'll take it back and take care of it for a while." After Shi Xi finished speaking, he picked up a piece of talisman paper, dipped it in water and stuck it on Ji Mingxu's neck to cover the fingerprints left by the black shadow.

[There was clearly nothing in the bottle, but they acted so convincingly that I believed them! ]

[So the ending is that the novelist was rescued, how great. 】

[Hour... This is a vengeful spirit, not a pet! ]

[Allow me to change the subject, the look of Brother Ji with the amulet on his neck is so cool! I can watch this shot a hundred times! ]

[I’m paying attention to the anchor. I apologize to the anchor for saying some immature things before. The quality of this live broadcast is really amazing. She is indeed the best in soul searching. ]

Back on the first floor, Shi Xi picked up the novel manuscript on the table, flipped through it, and suddenly laughed: "What? This is a totally lovely story."

【What, what, read it to us too. 】

Shi Xi chuckled, took the live broadcast equipment from Ji Mingxu, and let him and Jiaming appear on camera together: "Jiaming, you officially graduate today, and try to carry the whole show as soon as possible. Teacher Ji, is the internship fun?"

Ji Mingxu smiled: "It's fun."

"Well, today's live broadcast ends here. See you next time." Shi Xi turned off the live broadcast amid the large-scale gift special effects.

"The traces left by the evil spirit will soon disappear. If you are afraid, don't stay here for the next two days. We will give you a talisman." Jiaming said to Ruoruo, "Your commission ends here."

"Thank you for your hard work. I really appreciate your help!" Ruoruo bowed deeply with tears in her eyes: "I will visit Wuyou Temple again in two days. I'll leave the novelist to you."

The three ghost-hunting anchors returned to Wuyou Temple together.

Shi Xi handed the newly acquired blood jade to Senior Brother Qingxuan. Needless to say, Senior Brother had also followed their live broadcast today and knew that they would return to the temple, so he even prepared a midnight snack.

The novelist visited Wuyou Temple for the first time and had a delicious meal.

This live broadcast was very popular, and the discussion remained high after the live broadcast ended. Ji Mingxu's neck-sticking charm was also on the hot search. Even the incident of the ghost-hunting Xiao Yuzi coming to make trouble became a circle, and many people took it as a joke - Xiao Yuzi's fans came to cause trouble aggressively, but in the end they were all attracted by Shi Xi.

But everyone wants to know more about what is written in the novelist's manuscript and how cute it is.

Back in the room, Shi Xi put the bottle containing the novelist on the table and took out her novel manuscript.

"You write a very good story," Shi Xi said, "You have been staying in the book all this time. Do you have any obsession?"

"I guess so..." The novelist burped, his eyes lit up: "You can actually sign a contract with the vengeful spirits, how about it, do you want to sign a contract with me?"

【New mission: Become a novelist;

Details: Novelist Sanchiqing hopes that you will inherit her talent and continue to create;

Reward: Inherit Sanchiqing's creative talent;

Penalty: None. 】

Shi Xi said: "So your name is Sanchiqing."

"It's my pen name. How about it? Will you agree to it?" Sanchiqing leaned against the wall of the bottle and looked at Shixi with great interest: "My task must be easy to do."

Xiguang's tasks have all been completed, and he only needs to wait for the harvest. Shi Xi thought about it and agreed: "Okay."

"Great," Sanchiqing thought for a moment, "You've never written a novel before, you can go to a literary forum or a novel post bar and write some short stories to practice."

"Sure." Shi Xi was also quite interested: "Do you have any ideas for my pen name?"

San Chi Qing looked out the window, the dead trees rustled in the night wind. She said, "How about calling it 'Follow the Wind and Travel Far Away'?"

Shi Xi smiled lightly: "Very good."

Shi Xi soon received a new assignment as a novelist. After registering an account on a well-known literary forum, she immediately gained 80% of her creative talent and acquired a lot more knowledge about writing novels.

San Chi Qing is particularly good at writing characters, and Shi Xi discovered that this knowledge is also helpful in honing his acting skills.

When she woke up the next day, Shi Xi came up with a suspenseful idea. After breakfast, she started typing with great interest and wrote three thousand words in one go!

She read the manuscript and thought it was so well written that she immediately posted it on the forum.

Because it was a practice assignment, she did not use her official pen name and gave herself a new pen name: I'm good at it!

The short vacation was over and Shi Xi returned to the crew. As the filming had entered the later stage, every day was very busy. San Chi Qing's soul was still very weak and he was sleeping most of the time. When Shi Xi remembered his novel, it was already five days later.

Shi Xi jumped up from the warm bed and quickly logged into the literary forum.

A new novelist who has only published 3,000 words would probably have no one interested... Shi Xi felt a little uneasy. He opened the post and saw that his post had been featured and had a lot of replies!

But the style of the comments is a bit strange——

【What an excellent idea! 】

[Is this a trap? I'm still lying at the bottom of the trap qvq]

[Big brother, you haven't updated for five days, are you sure you are good enough? ]

[Big brother, you can’t do this. ]

Shi Xi: “…”

In order to prove that he is good, Shi Xi threw back the quilt and decided to write 3,000 words in a rage!

Another week passed, and the busy "I'm Great" student still hadn't finished the short story, but... she had a new idea and was eager to write it.

So she dug another hole.

[I was reading it with great interest, and then it was gone in a flash. This familiar feeling of being dominated made me quickly go back and look at the author's name... It turned out to be you, no big deal! ]

[You will definitely fill in the gaps, right? You will definitely do it, right? ]

[Big brother, you must prove that you can do it! ]

San Chi Qing's spirit had stabilized a lot. She looked at Shi Xi who was typing away at the computer and smiled, "Although you have inherited 90% of the talent now, you still couldn't help but make the rookie mistake of working on two projects at the same time... You must work hard to finish them, 'I'm Good'."

Shi Xi: “…” I feel like I’ve really screwed myself this time.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Xi Guang's personal exhibition to close. Shi Xi sold a total of four paintings with a total transaction amount of 130 million, breaking the record for the transaction amount of a single exhibition. Xi Guang thus stepped onto the stage of world artists and attracted countless attention.

Then, Crescent Gallery announced a major news on behalf of Xi Guang. Xi Guang donated four highly anticipated paintings including "Abyss" and "Light" to the charity organization under the name of Crescent Gallery. The painting will participate in the charity auction at the end of the year, and all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity.

Of the ten paintings on display, only Shadow and Swimming Fish were kept by Shi Xi. Shi Xi gave Jiang Tong a new address, and the paintings have been safely delivered to Shi Xi's new home.

That’s right, a new home.

Shi Xi opened the door and smiled at Xi Guang: "Don't you like moving? This is a new home, do you like it?"

"Moving!" Xiguang appeared excitedly, floating around in the new home, and the lively little fish followed him, swimming in the air. Everywhere he passed became exceptionally clean: "The new home is so big, I love it."

The two paintings were hung in the most suitable place in the living room. Xiguang stopped in front of "Swimming Fish" and said softly, "You have fulfilled all the things you promised me when you were little."

"Now there are voices of praise everywhere. Everyone is curious about the whereabouts of Shadow and Swimming Fish..." Teacher Zhuang laughed softly: "These two paintings are of great significance. Of course, they will be treasured by children forever."

"Xiguang," Zhang Qingyu's voice trembled: "Have your hands become transparent?"

Xiguang raised his hand, his fingertips were so light that they were almost invisible. He faced and smiled easily: "My wish has come true. It's time for me to leave. I'm really lucky and happy to meet you... I actually have friends now. This time is happier than everyone in my life before. It's like a beautiful dream."

Xiguang's body became more and more transparent. Shixi stepped forward and gave him a final hug: "Xiguang, we will always be your friends. We will always miss you and wish you a safe journey."

A tear fell on her cheek, and Shi Xi couldn't tell whether it was Xiguang's or her own. At the last moment, she saw a group of free little fish swimming out of the balcony, blending into the night sky and disappearing.

The author has something to say:
