At Chi Shen's polite greeting, Bai Ran's bloodshot eyes trembled violently. He stretched out his hand and pulled it hard, regardless of the cost of his intestines being pierced and his stomach burst, and pulled the ice flower out from his neck!

Blood spurted out. Although he was a ghost, he had just died and was clearly not used to his identity. His body twitched and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Even though he was lying on the ground, unable to move, Bai Ran did not forget to raise his head and stared at Chi Shen viciously: "I... I won't die! I am a ghost now, I won't die!"

He really would not die. His whole body was trembling because of the thorns made of ice flowers being pulled out. Huge wounds spread from his neck to his stomach. Those were all traces left by the ice flowers. His whole body was almost cut open, but he was a ghost.

The smelly blood gathered into a pool under Bai Ran's body, and the withered yellow weeds were dyed blood red. Because of the intense pain, his body kept twitching and shaking, and it seemed that he was almost disappearing.

"I will not die."

His voice became weaker and weaker, and the pool of blood under his body was slowly disappearing.

Chi Shen tilted his head and looked at him, a little surprised: "Very tenacious... just a little too weak."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Ran's eyes, which were almost blurred by pain, suddenly lit up. These words directly brought him back, and he looked at Chi Shen with eyes full of hatred again.

"I thought this level of death should be fine. It's just like being stabbed. Now that he's dead, it's troublesome." Chi Shen had already left Bai Ran. It was obvious that these words were not meant for Bai Ran, but for Ji Xingchen.

Ji Xingchen glanced at Bai Ran's painful expression, and said calmly: "It can still be used. It has not completely disappeared. He does not have a clear understanding of his own resentment, so it is easy to be dispersed. If he reappears hatred, it should not disappear."

Bai Ran grabbed the weeds on the ground fiercely. He had controlled the bleeding wound. Perhaps his previous hatred for Chi Shen was not strong enough to support him to stand up, but the conversation between the two of them at this moment undoubtedly angered him greatly.

Not only did he stab him, he also twisted the knife inside his body.

Chi Shen said: "If you remind him again, he will come back to life."

A strong yin energy suddenly appeared behind Chi Shen, and a ghostly green fire suddenly appeared and burned around Bai Ran. The ghost fire dragged his tattered body to stand up. Bai Ran stood between the ghost fires like a ghost, staring at Chi Shen with his blood-red eyes.

The blood in his body was slowly disappearing, and the blood-stained ice flowers that fell to the ground were burned by the ghost fire and melted into Yin Qi, which all entered his body. After he absorbed the Yin Qi from the ice flowers, the wounds on his body were all healed.

In an instant, will-o'-the-wisp fire shot up into the sky, representing his tremendous resentment.

Chi Shen turned around and saw the will-o'-the-wisp surrounding Bai Ran. Seeing this scene, Chi Shen touched his chin and looked at it for a while, revealing a surprised look: "I didn't expect you to hate me so much."

At the moment when the ghost fire shot up into the sky, Gui Lian quickly hid behind Chi Shen. At this moment, Chi Shen turned around, and he quickly changed direction and continued to hide behind Chi Shen, pretending that Bai Ran could not see him.

Chi Shen was wearing a bright yellow hoodie, and his ghost face was hiding under the only hood. He only had one eye showing and looked over there cautiously. He whispered, "He didn't hate you that much, but what you just said to Ji Xingchen, any human... no, any ghost would be pissed to death."

Chi Shen was surprised and asked, "I didn't say anything, how could he be angry?"

Ghost Face opened his exposed eyes to look at Chi Shen's expression, then looked at Bai Ran who was visibly angry on the other side, and immediately lost his expression: "Indeed, you didn't say anything, nothing at all."

Ji Xingchen looked at the direction where the will-o'-the-wisp was coming from and said calmly, "He's recovered."

Bai Ran was burned by the ghost fire, but his body did not break, nor did it turn into ashes. This was his own ghost fire, born from his hatred. The hatred for Chi Shen was the raw material of this ghost fire.

Therefore, the more he hated Chi Shen, the more vigorously the ghost fire burned. The resentment from his heart did not make him disappear, but instead made him reborn in the ghost fire.

The will-o'-the-wisp swallowed Bai Ran whole, and his body was quickly repaired. The bloodstained clothes slowly became clean, revealing the orange vest he had worn when he was detained. He no longer had to cover his neck with his hands, and the huge wound on his neck was slowly healing and disappearing.

At this moment, he truly accepted his identity as a ghost and no longer tried to control his ghost body with his human thoughts.

The blood on the ground burned again, turning into ghostly fire that floated towards Bai Ran.

That was the Yin energy that had leaked out before, which now gathered together again and returned to his body.

"Hey, he's gotten even stronger!" Ghost Face exclaimed behind Chi Shen, "Stop him!"

Chi Shen didn't move at all. He looked so relaxed that one would think that if there was a chair here, he would sit down and slowly appreciate the current situation. Unfortunately, there was no chair.

Guilian's expression became anxious: "If this continues, he may be stronger than Bai Wan in a short time!"

Seeing that Chi Shen was unmoved, Ghost Face set his sights on Ji Xingchen again and shouted, "Four Eyes! No, handsome guy! You persuade him!"

Ji Xingchen's glasses reflected the will-o'-the-wisp around Bai Ran, making him look extremely strange. His glasses lenses also turned a dark green. He pushed his glasses that were full of will-o'-the-wisp, looking very calm. Although not as relaxed as Chi Shen, he looked almost calm. He said, "Let's take a look."

"Yes, let's observe. I'm also a little curious. How far can he go? Can he surpass Bai Wan?" Chi Shen said from the side.

Guilian gritted his teeth and decided to rush over and attack Bai Ran first. Although his strength was not that good, it should be no problem to interfere.

How come there are people who watch the BOSS casting the bar without interrupting it? Have these two people never played games?

With a whoosh, Gui Lian rushed out. He closed his eyes, prepared to die. But just as he rushed out, he found himself stopped. He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was grabbed by Chi Shen.

"Stop." Chi Shen said.

Ghost Face opened his eyes and looked over there, and sure enough, the expansion of the ghost fire had stopped, and Bai Ran seemed to have stabilized, but this was not interrupted!

The blood on the ground and the deep negative energy contained in the ice flowers have all been absorbed. This is not an interruption of the reading bar, this is the completion of the BOSS's resurrection reading bar!

Bai Ran was now dominated by his own hatred. After absorbing all the negative energy he could control, he was held in the air by the flames generated by the hatred, and the whole ghost floated up.

At this moment, he has returned to his appearance before he was alive, even his clothes have changed. He is no longer wearing the orange vest that temporarily detained him, but the ordinary clothes that Chi Shen saw him wearing before.

The change in a ghost's appearance is mostly due to a change in his perception of himself.

Now it seems that Bai Ran no longer considers himself as the prisoner detained by the Special Security Bureau, but an opponent who can compete with Chi Shen.

Chi Shen thought about it and suddenly remembered that it was the clothes Bai Ran was wearing when he first met him and brought him into the Bai family's old house.

Because for him, this time was too long ago. For Bai Ran, it might have been only a month or two, but for Chi Shen, it was hundreds of years. It was normal that he didn't think about it for a while.

This means that Bai Ran put himself in the same position as when he met Chi Shen.

He is the eldest son of the Bai family who is able to frame and play tricks on Chi Shen.

"Very good, that's it." Seeing Bai Ran like this, Chi Shen truly smiled, the corners of his mouth raised high, his smile bright and crazy, "This is what I want to see, let me see you be even more powerful."

The pale green flame had already burned around Chi Shen. Chi Shen stretched out his hand and touched the green flame. Under the horrified gaze of the ghost face, the half finger of his finger that was caught in the ghost fire turned into charcoal.

Will-O-Wan struggled hard, as if he wanted to say something, but soon he showed a confused look. He seemed to be attracted by Chi Shen's charred fingers, which seemed to have a smell that could attract him.

Not just a grimace.

A soft humming sounded between heaven and earth, and it seemed as if someone was howling outside the yard. The sound was so soft that it was difficult to hear clearly, but it was real.

Bai Ran's will-o'-the-wisp was big enough to hurt Chi Shen, but he did not attack immediately. Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Chi Shen became calm. Soon he lowered his head and looked around, his expression seemed a little confused, and then his sight fell on Xu Xiuyun.

Xu Xiuyun was still sitting on the ground. She had wanted to rush over to save Bai Ran, but the sudden change made her at a loss. She just stood there in a daze and watched Bai Ran reborn from the ghost fire.

When the will-o'-the-wisp fire burned to her position, she rolled and crawled on the ground to escape, then stopped at a place where the will-o'-the-wisp fire could not reach her, and sat on the ground again. She was still looking at Bai Ran, as if she did not understand what was happening.

"Mom," Bai Ran's voice was full of grievance, and he lowered his eyes as if crying, "I feel so bad, Mom, can you come and see me."

Xu Xiuyun looked at Bai Ran. The scary appearance of Bai Ran when he turned into a ghost had faded away. In Xu Xiuyun's eyes, he looked like the child who had lived with her for more than 20 years, the one who cared about whether she was dressed well, whether she had eaten her favorite food, and who would help her drive away annoying ghosts - the child she had raised for 20 years.

Even though the child had been devoured by the will-o'-the-wisp, Xu Xiuyun's mind still flashed through the memories of their time together over the past twenty years.

She...really wants to be good to this child.

Even after knowing that he was not her biological son, she never thought of abandoning him. She was even angry because his background was exposed and he was treated differently in the Bai family.

“Of course…”

Xu Xiuyun used her hands and feet to get up from the ground and looked at Bai Ran in the ghost fire.

Bai Ran covered his face and said, "Mom, am I ugly now? If I become a ghost, will you not want me anymore?"

Xu Xiuyun's expression became anxious. Past memories collided in her mind, causing her to completely ignore the circle of ghost fire that wrapped around Bai Ran. She shook her head and walked towards Bai Ran: "How could mommy not want you? You are mommy's child. Regardless of whether we are related by blood or not, I am still your mom."

Ghost Face was confused by this sudden scene: "What's going on?"

Chi Shen's face suddenly turned cold. He looked at Xu Xiuyun and called out the name he hadn't called out for a long time: "Mother, come here."

Xu Xiuyun paused slightly, she turned to look at Chi Shen with a complicated expression.

Chi Shen looked at her, then at Bai Ran who was acting pitiful. He thought for half a second and immediately smiled. It was his most confident and signature smile, as bright as spring. He said gently, "Mom, you are controlled by him. I know you don't want to kill me. It's dangerous over there. Come over here."

Bai Ran, who was standing opposite Chi Shen, had a distorted expression for a moment, but he quickly controlled his expression. In the will-o'-the-wisp, he showed an extremely pitiful expression: "Mom, I'm scared. He wants to kill me. Am I going to die?"

Xu Xiuyun immediately turned to Bai Ran: "Of course!"

The ghostly green fire engulfed Xu Xiuyun in an instant. The woman's scream lasted only a second before disappearing in the fire. After the fire engulfed her, not even any residue was left, only a few pieces of ashes floated out.

The smile on Chi Shen's face faded little by little, while the smile on Bai Ran's face expanded wildly.

The pitiful expression on his face quickly disappeared, and he laughed, almost crazily: "Hahahaha, Chi Shen, now, I'm going to eat you!"

Chi Shen turned his head indifferently, without looking at the rapidly expanding will-o'-the-wisp. He said calmly: "Let's go home."

The ghost face looked puzzled and shouted in fear: "Just ignore him! He ate his own mother, this ghost is out of control! We have to find a way, hurry up and find a way! We can't let him go, or the whole village nearby will be in trouble. No, not only the village, but even the port city will be in trouble! This level of situation is simply beyond the ability of the Yuan man to deal with it, you can't just ignore this mess!"

Ji Xingchen also turned around with Chi Shen. He ignored the ghost face's howling and looked outside the yard.

Standing there were Yuan Yiping and Xu Jiayuan, who had already walked out of the maze.

Both of them looked quite disheveled and covered in dust. Xu Jiayuan was holding a red candle in his hand. It was not known whether the air was too cold or the candle was too icy, but Xu Jiayuan's hand holding the candle was frozen red. However, he did not let go. Instead, he held it tighter and tighter as he looked at the scene in front of him.

The ghost lights all over the yard made them stop for a few steps. Yuan Yiping and Xu Jiayuan didn't dare to get close to here easily. Everyone knew that these ghost lights were not to be trifled with.

But what shocked them even more was the fact that Chi Shen was here, seemingly intact.

In fact, they had walked out of the ghost wall before, but the exit of the ghost wall was a bit far from the yard. They did not see the situation in the yard, but could only hear some intermittent conversations and infer what happened in the yard from these conversations.

When they actually walked to the gate of the yard, they saw Bai Ran being reborn from the ghost fire and devouring his mother.

Seeing Bai Ran's look at this time, the two did not ask Chi Shen to do anything. They shouted to Chi Shen at the same time: "Run!"

Chi Shen did not run, he even maintained a leisurely pace. The rapidly spreading will-o'-the-wisp fire devoured everything in the yard. The dazzling flames burned all the weeds and trees, and the yard soon became charred.

“Go to hell!”

Bai Ran shouted loudly, and the will-o'-the-wisp quickly burned to Chi Shen's side. He stared at Chi Shen viciously, imagining Chi Shen struggling and begging for mercy in his will-o'-the-wisp. He would definitely not let him die immediately, but torture him slowly, first burning his limbs, then burning his internal organs bit by bit, and then his brain -

The will-o'-the-wisp was less than ten centimeters away from Chi Shen. Bai Ran looked at Chi Shen's hand, but suddenly found that the hand that was originally burned by his will-o'-the-wisp had returned to its original appearance.

The will-o'-the-wisp was only one centimeter deep in the pool.

But this one centimeter is a distance that can never be reached.

The will-o'-the-wisp seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could not move forward any further. This one centimeter lasted forever.

A black hand stretched out from under Bai Ran, grabbed Bai Ran's legs while the ghost fire was burning, and suddenly pulled him down, knocking him to the ground.

The will-o'-the-wisp fire that was almost spreading throughout the entire yard suddenly shrank. Bai Ran suddenly landed on the ground and immediately tried to control all of his will-o'-the-wisp fire to burn the hands that were holding him.

But soon, a second hand, a third hand, and a fourth hand emerged from the ground...

Those hands were burned by the ghost fire and turned black, and some even collapsed directly, but they did not let go of Bai Ran. They held him tightly and did not give him a chance to escape.

The first ghost who stretched out his hand revealed his face. He crawled out of the ground and tried to stare at Bai Ran, risking being burned to ashes by the ghost fire. He opened his mouth, which was full of flames from Bai Ran's ghost fire.

"Bai Ran, do you still remember me?"

Another black hand stretched out from the ground, pressing down Bai Ran's violent will-o'-the-wisp, pinning him down. A face stretched out from behind the hand, looking at Bai Ran and asking, "Do you still remember me?"

Hands stretched out from the ground, faces crawled out from the ground, some calm, some angry, some hateful, they all looked at Bai Ran and asked him in unison: "Do you remember me? Do you remember us?"

Yuan Yiping and Xu Jiayuan, who were outside the yard, suddenly covered their ears. Countless voices came from all directions. They saw black shadows flying past them from behind. Those resentful ghosts did not stay in front of the two living people, but flew straight towards Bai Ran.

The ghost's voice floated in the air: "Do you remember us?"

Bai Ran seemed unable to comprehend the current situation. The ghost fire on his body was extinguished bit by bit by countless black hands. He struggled desperately to get rid of the control of those black hands. However, the black hands became more and more numerous. Not only did they press him down, but some ghost hands also stretched out to tear his body apart.

He looked at each face and shouted angrily, "Get out of the way. I don't know who you are. You should go find the person who killed you!"

Before he could finish his words, the ghosts that were tearing at them became even more frantic. His arms were torn apart and soon eaten up.

"They are the people you killed, and it seems you have forgotten them. Your classmates are right. Your revenge cannot be avenged by one person. That is unfair. Everyone who was killed by you and who hates you should have a chance to take revenge." Surrounded by ghosts, Bai Ran suddenly heard a voice. This voice was not Chi Shen's voice, but the way he spoke made him suddenly understand something.

The person who came to the Special Security Bureau to look for him that day and said that he would go to the Hong Kong City serial murder case was not Chi Shen.

But it’s the ghost that follows Chi Shen.

All of this was planned by this ghost!

He thought that Chi Shen appeared in the Special Security Bureau to force him to hand over clues about the Bai family. However, it was not the case. He appeared in the Special Security Bureau to let him know that Chi Shen would come to this place today!

This ghost had planned everything long ago.

Amid the excruciating pain of his spirit being torn apart and devoured, Bai Ran laughed out loud: "Chi Shen, the ghost following you is not a good guy at all. I'm waiting for you to be schemed to death by him. I'll be waiting for you in hell! Hahahaha!"

The last cluster of green ghost fire suddenly disappeared.

The black ghost shadows flying in the air slowly dissipated. Some of the ghost shadows showed satisfied and happy expressions. They slowly dissipated and turned into points of light, while some ghosts bowed from afar in the direction of Ji Xingchen, then dived into the darkness and disappeared.

It was as if there was a star rain here. The light spots rose slowly and scattered into the shape of a galaxy in the yard that was half reduced to scorched earth. It was extremely dreamy. The light spots circled in the yard, passed by Ji Xingchen, and then all floated away into the sky.

Xu Jiayuan stared at this shocking scene for a long time without coming back to his senses. Only when all the light spots disappeared did he murmur, "Is this... a large-scale purification of resentment and the realization of salvation?"

Yuan Yiping looked at Chi Shen with an ugly expression. He asked, "Did you do it?"

Chi Shen smiled and looked at Ji Xingchen beside him.

Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses down: "I just think they need a little help."

Chi Shen smiled gently this time, just like the bright yellow sweatshirt on him that made people feel cheerful at first sight.

Ghost Face finally reacted at this time, and he exclaimed: "Four Eyes... No, Handsome Ji borrowed your body just for this! No wonder he comes back every day with the smell of various ghosts on his body, it turns out he went to find the victim!"

Yuan Yiping disagreed and said, "Don't do this kind of thing again. It's too dangerous for you to come into contact with so many ghosts."

Ji Xingchen looked at Yuan Yiping, his eyes showing no sign of compromise: "Your thinking is to investigate the truth of the matter from the perspective of the living. You want to be responsible for the living, but the dead also need an explanation."

Yuan Yiping moved his lips, as if he wanted to refute, but he said nothing.

Xu Jiayuan burst out at this moment and said quickly: "Okay, okay, now it's time to help Zheng Ming find his head. Now that the matter here is settled, let's get down to business. We are here to find our head today. Hey, did we leave Li Xu in the car? I'll go call him."

"I..." A head popped out from behind a low wall. It was Li Xu who stood up from behind the low wall. He said, "I'm here. I wanted to go to the toilet, but I don't know how I ended up here."

"Then everyone is here!" Xu Jiayuan said, "The remaining question is where is the head?"

Li Xu looked like he was about to cry. He raised one of his hands, holding up a ball covered with weeds: "The head you are talking about... is it this?"
