On weekdays, Chi Shen goes to work as usual.

Ever since seeing the ghost, Li Xu seemed to be in much better spirits. Although he still often had dark circles under his eyes, it was obvious that they were not caused by insomnia, but because he had something on his mind and volunteered to work overtime, so he slept less.

In just a few days, Li Xu finalized the game format, main storyline, and art style of "God of Wealth". Seeing Li Xu excitedly showing them the results, Chi Shen even began to wonder how many livers Li Xu had.

Maybe it was because he spent too much time developing the game, Li Xu worked hard himself but did not ask his employees to do the same. He was like a scientist with a fanatical research spirit, who came up with a prototype himself and then handed over the subsequent detailed tasks to his employees.

After the meeting, Chi Shen was also assigned his task - to design the final BOSS "God of Wealth".

When this task was handed over to Chi Shen, others were quite dissatisfied with it. After all, Chi Shen was just a new planner who had just entered the industry, and the God of Wealth was the final BOSS of their game. How could they hand over the task of designing the final BOSS to a newcomer!

However, Li Xu still rejected the objections and let Chi Shen take charge.

In order to convince everyone, Li Xu also gave examples to illustrate how familiar Chi Shen was with folk customs and how comprehensive his knowledge of ghosts was. Then he walked over, patted Chi Shen on the shoulder and said, "I'm optimistic about you. You can definitely design a groundbreaking God of Wealth BOSS!"

And Chi Shen said: "...I try hard?"

Chi Shen never expected that taking Li Xu to see a ghost would turn out like this.

He originally thought that, based on his qualifications, he would only be responsible for writing copy and dialogues for small monsters, but he didn't expect that he would be responsible for designing the final BOSS.

Chi Shen said that he had no experience at all and had to start all over again.

So Chi Shen also got busy. He began to learn from scratch how the BOSSes of other popular horror games were designed. However, adhering to the principle of not working overtime, Chi Shen was busy. Relying on his rich work experience, he managed to compress his daily working hours to less than eight hours. At five o'clock in the afternoon, he would still disappear in a flash.

Some people who are used to working overtime in the gaming industry actually have some complaints about him. Although they have some complaints, their boss didn't say anything, so they naturally couldn't say anything. They could only watch with envy as Chi Shen went to work and got off work on time.

After get off work, Chi Shen would go to the supermarket and discuss with Ji Xingchen what to eat tonight. He would mainly ask Ji Xingchen what he would cook, and then he would buy it and cook it for Ji Xingchen when he got home.

At the same time, when shopping in the supermarket, Chi Shen will also pay attention to whether there are any snacks. If they are fresh and look delicious, he will buy some to take back for his friends at home.

When there were no ghost-related things, his life seemed so normal and peaceful, and Chi Shen was very happy. This was the life he wanted.

After shopping in the supermarket, Chi Shen walked home slowly with a bag of things. He was the only one living on the 13th floor. He walked out of the elevator leisurely under the strange looks of the other passengers. After the elevator door closed, he said happily, "Gangcheng No. 11 Middle School is a bit far from where I am. It's a bit troublesome to get there. I need transportation."

He looked alone.

But his shadow answered him: "If it bothers you, I can go over there myself."

"That's not what I meant," Chi Shen said. Suddenly he stopped and smiled. "Look, isn't the transportation here?"

There was a man standing at the door of Chi Shen's house. Chi Shen knew this man. His surname was Zhong. He was the member of the Special Security Bureau who came to Gangcheng to support the Halloween incident as mentioned by Yuan Yiping. He was also the heir of the Zhong family, Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi has a square-shaped face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is dressed very formally and looks like a serious man. At this moment, he is looking at the gate of Chi Shen's house with a frown. The look he gives at the gate looks like he will break in at the next moment.

Just then, the door creaked open.

Zhong Yi’s brows furrowed even more tightly, his muscles tensed, as if he was ready to pull out something and rush in at any time.

"Mr. Zhong...?"

In order to prevent his own living room from getting hurt, Chi Shen was the first to shout.

Zhong Yi then retracted his murderous gaze and turned to look at Chi Shen. Looking behind Chi Shen, his eyes darkened slightly, but he did not say anything. He just said, "Mr. Chi, good afternoon. I came to visit you today in the hope of getting rid of you and resolving a matter."

Chi Shen was already changing his shoes. He waved to Zhong Yi and said, "Come in and talk."

He saw that Zhong Yi was uncomfortable with his family, so he felt that he needed to give him some desensitization treatment, so he asked him to come in first.

Zhong Yi hesitated at the door for a moment, but still took off his shoes and followed Chi Shen into the living room.

Bai Wan poured tea for them, the red-clothed female ghost happily brought some fruit and lay down to look at Zhong Yi curiously. Even Huang Lingling stood in the corner watching them. Only Gui Lian was the most timid. He hid under the sofa and trembled because of Zhong Yi's righteousness.

Chi Shen could see that Zhong Yi was having a hard time enduring such an environment, so he didn't make things difficult for him. He got straight to the point and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me. I'll see if I can solve it first."

Zhong Yi did not touch the tea and fruit on the table. He said, "This time I came to Hong Kong City, in addition to solving the problem of ghosts traveling during Halloween, I also came to bring my grandfather to find the Bai family."

Chi Shen was not too surprised. He peeled an orange and ate it. He nodded while eating, motioning Zhong Yi to continue.

"Last month, when my grandfather went to solve a haunted hotel, something went wrong. We don't know the specific circumstances at the time, but there were three people who went there, and only my grandfather came back. He is still lying in bed and has not woken up." Zhong Yi looked at the tea and narrated slowly, "He has no external injuries, and after a hospital examination, his body functions are not damaged, but he just can't wake up."

At this time, Chi Shen asked: "What is your own judgment?"

Zhong Yi said: "We also thought he was possessed at first. We tried many methods, but he couldn't be awakened. Nothing worked. We even asked the underworld to help, but no matter how we looked at it, my grandfather's soul was still in his body. He just couldn't wake up."

"At the same time, his body began to weaken. We could see his energy disappearing visibly. We began to seek help from others. We asked every family that joined the Special Security Bureau, but no one could solve my grandfather's situation. As a last resort, I had to bring my grandfather to Hong Kong City, hoping that the Bai family outside the Special Security Bureau could find a solution to my grandfather's situation."

"Unable to wake up, and then the anger disappears?" Chi Shen abstracted the key point.

Zhong Yi nodded with a heavy face: "We suspect there is a ghost in his body sucking his vitality, but we can't find it."

"I understand," Chi Shen touched his chin, "Bai Ximing couldn't solve it either, so you wanted to come to me?"

Zhong Yi seemed a little surprised that Chi Shen called Bai Ximing by his name. He glanced at Chi Shen and said nothing. Then he shook his head and said, "He said he can solve it, but I trust you more."

Chi Shen laughed: "I don't have a family tradition of hundreds of years. I am an outsider who knows nothing."

Zhong Yi looked at him: "I believe you."

"Then what benefit can I get if I solve it for you?" Chi Shen also looked at Zhong Yi with a smile on his face.

Zhong Yi seemed to have made preparations long ago, and immediately said: "All my personal savings, as well as all the help I can provide, and all the help the Zhong family can provide, as long as you need it and we can do it, you can withdraw it. I have prepared a small profit as-"

Chi Shen laughed: "Then let's eat first."

Zhong Yi, who was already touching the card, said: "Ah?"

"It's time to eat," Chi Shen said, "Aren't you hungry?"

Then, Zhong Yi watched as a ghost entered Chi Shen's body, and then went to cook with an expressionless face.

Zhong Yi's expression looked somewhat magical, as if he had never expected things to turn out this way.

After dinner, Zhong Yi wanted to talk about his own affairs again, but Chi Shen interrupted him: "Before going to see your grandfather, I hope you can do me a favor first."

Zhong Yi nodded immediately: "You go ahead."

Chi Shen picked up his phone and started navigating: "Take me to Gangcheng No. 11 Middle School."

Zhong Yi picked up the car keys and was about to leave. He looked like he didn't want to stay in this house any longer. Chi Shen called him, "Tonight at two o'clock."

So Zhong Yi had no choice but to sit back.

After dinner, Chi Shen went to wash the dishes and began to distribute snacks to the ghosts in the house. In the happy atmosphere, Zhong Yi, who was sitting aside, looked extremely weird. Chi Shen could see that he wanted to speak several times, but he knew that what he said would definitely be inappropriate, so he forced himself to hold it back.

Just as Zhong Yi was feeling restless, the time came to two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Zhong Yi drove Chi Shen to Gangcheng No. 11 Middle School and stopped outside a remote wall.

Chi Shen said hello to Zhong Yi and got out of the car. When he was leaving, Zhong Yi couldn't help but ask, "You... live with so many ghosts, aren't you having any problems getting used to it?"

Chi Shen said: "It's better than getting along with people."

A trace of sympathy appeared on Zhong Yi's face, but he didn't say much, just said: "I'll wait here for you to come back."

Chi Shen thought about him and waved his hand: "Thank you."

The high school campus was very quiet at two o'clock in the morning. Chi Shen quickly found a place without any cameras and climbed over the wall swiftly.

"Where is the archives?" Chi Shen clapped his hands and looked around.

Ji Xingchen's figure emerged from his shadow and pointed him in a direction.

"After so many years of graduation, you still know the layout of your alma mater so well?" Chi Shen said with a smile.

Ji Xingchen said: "I came back two years ago as an outstanding graduate."

"That's amazing." Chi Shen smiled and walked in the direction Ji Xingchen pointed.

The case of the Hong Kong City serial murders has come to an end, and he is also ready to continue investigating how Ji Xingchen died.

Since the Special Security Bureau couldn't find out Ji Xingchen's identity, they tried another angle and started from the high school that Ji Xingchen had memories of.

Ji Xingchen's university was in another city, too far away for them to verify, so they chose high school.

The archives was pitch dark, but neither they nor the ghost needed lights to see. They moved around the archives freely, but Chi Shen felt that the efficiency of searching for paper files in this way was too low, so he directly opened an office and walked in.

Calling up the search interface, Chi Shen entered the three words "Ji Xingchen" on it, and as expected, there were no results.

Ji Xingchen no longer had any emotional fluctuations about this. Perhaps in his opinion, it was just another denial of the existence of "Ji Xingchen".

"Wait a minute," Chi Shen stopped Ji Xingchen who was about to leave and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe your last name is not Ji?"

In the dim light of the computer screen, Ji Xingchen looked at Chi Shen.

Chi Shen raised his hand and typed two words "Xingchen" on the computer.

Search results - "Wen Xingchen".

Chi Shen looked at Ji Xingchen: "Your last name might be Wen."

Chi Shen clicked into Wen Xingchen's file, and the photo on it was of Ji Xingchen when he was young.

"When you were a kid, you were a youth idol..."

Chi Shen's voice suddenly stopped. He felt the sudden surge of ghost energy beside him. The originally almost invisible yin energy of Ji Xingchen became chaotic and complicated, mixed with a terrifying breath of despair.

Chi Shen turned his head and saw Ji Xingchen's eyes turned scarlet.

Ji Xingchen, who was far away at home, shook his body slightly, and the chain on his chest collided with a crisp sound.

Drops of blood dripped down the chain onto the ground, seemingly forming the shape of a smiling face.
