Before his near-death, Chi Shen entered an infinite game. He vanquished tens of thousands of malevolent spirits, dodged covert and overt attacks from countless players, and finally emerged victorio...
Dongshan is a town.
It may be because people who name mountains like to be lazy. When naming mountains, they often call the mountain on the west Xishan, the mountain on the east Dongshan, and the mountain on the north and south Beishan. So there is a Dongshan Park in Gangcheng, and the place Chi Shen is going this time is also Dongshan, but he is going to a county town under Dongshan, called Dongshan Town.
Zhong Jingsong introduced the general situation of Dongshan Town to Chi Shen. Dongshan Town is not rich and is mainly based on agriculture. However, Dongshan Town has a famous hot spring. In recent years, tourism has begun to develop around the hot spring. However, Dongshan Town is far from the city, and it takes two or three hours to drive there, so not many people come here. The tourism industry is in a state of development, but it seems to be undeveloped.
The Dongshan Hot Spring Holiday Hotel was established five years ago. There are still many tourists during the peak season, but it is almost closed during the off-season. However, most of the employees are farmers from nearby areas, and the off-season is the busy farming season, so they complement each other.
Perhaps seeing that Chi Shen was not in a good mood, Zhong Jingsong did not say anything else after he finished speaking. He just told Chi Shen to call him if he needed anything. Chi Shen nodded and took out Mr. Zhong's notebook.
As soon as he opened it, he saw the travel magazine on the seat move slightly. Ji Xingchen reached out from his shadow and took the travel magazine off the seat.
The Zhong family did buy a few extra tickets for them, of course, using other people's identities. It's just that the people whose identities were used did not board the plane, so a few seats were left empty.
The seat next to Chi Shen was the one that was vacant, so Ji Xingchen naturally sat in that seat. At this moment, he was just like an ordinary business trip, looking at the magazine with a normal expression. Sitting around him were all their people, so Ji Xingchen's action did not cause panic or screams. Everyone just looked at him silently, and some even sighed.
Dying young is indeed something to be lamented.
But Ji Xingchen obviously didn't think so. He didn't even frown, nor did he express any regret about the fact that he still had a seat. He quickly handed the magazine to Chi Shen, which contained an interview with a young entrepreneur.
That entire page was actually a promotion for Dongshan Hot Spring. It basically described how this young entrepreneur found Dongshan Hot Spring, how he proved the therapeutic effects of Dongshan Hot Spring, and then decided to invest, etc. This so-called young entrepreneur was actually a rich second-generation who was thrown to this place by his father.
In other words, the actual owner of the Dongshan Hot Spring Holiday Hotel where they are going this time is this rich second generation.
Chi Shen glanced at the introduction of this rich second generation, Jiang Haotian, a graduate of a prestigious university, his hometown was Dongshan Town, so he came back to develop the tourism industry in Dongshan Town.
After reading it, Chi Shen pinched his nose and threw the notebook in his hand to Zhong Yi next to him: "I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap."
Zhong Yi didn't seem to understand why he suddenly felt sleepy, nor why he suddenly threw the notebook to him, but he still nodded: "You go to sleep, I'll call you when we get there."
Seeing Chi Shen falling asleep peacefully, Zhong Yi looked at the notebook in his hand and suddenly thought that Chi Shen might want him to see what was recorded in the notebook.
But in fact, he had already read these things written by his grandfather, but Chi Shen handed it to him, so he opened it and read it again.
He had just opened his notebook when he suddenly heard Chi Shen's voice: "Memorize it."
Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Chi Shen looking at him with one eye half open and smiling. When he saw that he had listened, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
——
After landing, they did not immediately set off for Dongshan Town, but discussed some strategies first.
"According to what was said before, if we investigate as police, we won't find anything." In the hotel, Ghost Face inhaled a cigarette and said with a happy expression.
Since Chi Shen brought a few "companions" with him, and these "companions" were not human, the Zhong family also prepared some things for them. Different from the bloody things from the Bai family, the Zhong family only prepared some ordinary offerings, incense, candles, paper money, plus some chickens, ducks, melons and fruits. The ghosts still enjoyed them very happily.
However, the Zhong family members were obviously not used to this way of holding a meeting with ghosts. They all looked a little unnatural. Some of the older ones even glared at Chi Shen and wanted to say something, but were blocked by Zhong Jingsong's gaze.
The meeting continued in such a strange atmosphere.
Zhong Jingsong then confirmed Ghost Face's idea: "They have a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness, so we moved in as tourists to investigate."
Hearing this, Chi Shen asked, "Can we still book that hotel now?"
"We have suspended the operation of Dongshan Hot Spring Holiday Hotel, and you should not be able to book it now," said Zhong Jingsong.
"Find a reason to open it, and then book a hotel for us. Just two rooms this time." Chi Shen said with a smile.
Zhong Yi immediately said, "I'll go too. I've never shown my face to them, so I can go and investigate as a tourist."
Zhong Jingsong pondered for a moment: "It is possible to open hotels... but ordinary tourists will book hotels, which will put ordinary tourists in danger."
"I don't think this is a problem." Chi Shen smiled, "Just make ordinary people afraid to book a hotel."
The next day, Chi Shen got up, packed up and went shopping in the mall.
When taking a hot spring bath, one always needs to prepare some bath towels and swimsuits. He didn't bring these with him, so he planned to buy them right here. Now he was going to buy the things needed for taking a hot spring bath.
He had just finished walking around the mall when he heard people around him discussing, "Have you heard about the disappearance of the Dongshan Hot Springs girl?"
"They haven't found anyone yet, but they say they're not that far away, and they keep the hot spring open. Is this a bribe?"
"It's possible, but now that it's open, who would dare to go?"
"The police even issued a special notice saying it had nothing to do with Dongshan Hot Spring. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?"
Amidst these discussions, Chi Shen had already chosen a swimsuit and also picked one for Ji Xingchen. Under Ji Xingchen's silent gaze, he happily took it to the checkout.
The cashier chatted with him while paying him: "Young man, you bought a swimsuit in the middle of winter, are you planning to go to the hot springs?"
Chi Shen smiled politely and nodded: "The hot springs in Dongshan are very famous."
When the aunt heard this, her face changed. She looked around and lowered her voice to Chi Shen and said, "Young man, you are so young and handsome. Auntie, let me tell you, you can't go to the hot springs in Dongshan. They are looking for people to make human meat buns over there!"
The smile on Chi Shen's face remained unchanged, but the ghosts following him were different. The ghost felt that his face was about to crack. He asked Chi Shen with a strange look on his face: "What is the Zhong family promoting?"
Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses calmly: "It seems to have achieved the expected effect."
Chi Shen bought a swimsuit and a bath towel, and without further delay, he set off for Dongshan Hot Spring that afternoon.
In addition to Zhong Yi, he was also accompanied by a man from the Zhong family's uncle generation, Zhong Jingzhu. They were planning to stay at the Dongshan Hot Spring Holiday Hotel with Chi Shen to investigate the hotel.
In the car, the two of them had already started checking the hotel check-in details. Their atmosphere seemed tense and serious. On the other hand, Chi Shen...
He opened Bai Wan's tablet and started searching:
How to take a hot spring bath most comfortably?
What is the best thing to drink when taking a hot spring bath?
How long is the best time to soak in a hot spring?
…
As he watched, Chi Shen yawned and fell asleep.
