Chi Shen thought about Ji Xingchen's words. He felt that he had to show some appreciation in this situation, so he reached out and touched Ji Xingchen's head.

In the mist, the two were already very close to each other, within reach of each other with just a raised hand. Chi Shen saw that Ji Xingchen seemed to want to hide, but held back, and finally let Chi Shen touch him obediently.

Ji Xingchen's hair felt pretty good. Chi Shen touched it a few more times and began to think about another question.

Seeing that Ji Xingchen did not resist, Chi Shen's hand slid down Ji Xingchen's smooth hair and put his hand on Ji Xingchen's shoulder. Chi Shen felt that the atmosphere was just right, so he also asked a question: "Can I take you away?"

Ji Xingchen turned and looked at Chi Shen.

Without his glasses and with his hair all pulled up, Ji Xingchen looked pale and handsome, even a little sharp, but he looked at Chi Shen with the same calm eyes as always, and he replied, "Okay."

"Do you know what I mean?" Chi Shen asked him.

Ji Xing looked at him and said, "It's all right."

Chi Shen laughed, he slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Ji Xingchen's heart.

There was the sound of a beating heart.

"I don't like this," Chi Shen said, "so I don't like it here either."

Ji Xingchen's heart was beating very fast, and after Chi Shen said this, it became even faster. Chi Shen seemed to find it a little amusing. He looked at the position of Ji Xingchen's heart and touched it again. After all, ghosts don't have heartbeats, and the area of Ji Xingchen's heart was a little special. It was indeed very interesting to see a heartbeat in this situation.

He didn't look up, so he didn't see Ji Xingchen's eyes becoming deeper as he moved.

Ji Xingchen's Adam's apple slid, as if something he had been holding on to was broken at this moment. He lowered his head and said softly: "Give me a bite, I... I'm hungry."

"Okay." Chi Shen tilted his head slightly, revealing his fragile neck.

Ji Xingchen stared at him, leaned forward slightly, and bit Chi Shen's neck. He did not bite through the side of Chi Shen's neck. His lips and teeth rubbed Chi Shen's neck gently, then slowly moved up and landed on Chi Shen's lips.

“Sweet.”

That was the smell of the osmanthus wine they had just drunk.

——

Outdoor spa area.

Zhong Yi and Zhong Jingzhu came here together following the trail of wet footprints.

This set of footprints seemed to have a clear purpose, heading straight for the hot spring area. Except for turning back for a while at the entrance of the hot spring area, this set of footprints did not seem to stop at all.

The two also entered the hot spring area.

When we arrived at the hot spring area, the footprints became messy, as if they led to different hot spring pools, and there were water stains next to these pools.

The two walked around the hot spring area and found nothing except footprints.

At this time, Zhong Jingzhu said: "Since we are here, let's go to the red hot spring pool and sauna room to have a look."

Zhong Yi nodded: "Okay."

The two had looked for footprints in the hot spring area before and had a general understanding of the area. Soon they found the red hot spring pool.

Zhong Yi glanced at the sign of the hot spring pool next to him: Red Wine Pool.

The Arthur in this red wine pool is a bit too dark. It doesn't look like red wine is poured into the pool for people to soak in the hot spring. Instead, it looks like the whole pool is filled with red wine.

Zhong Yi and Zhong Jingzhu walked around the red wine pool. Apart from the dark color of the water, they did not find anything strange, nor did they find any negative energy.

The two did not touch the water. They had already thought that the white paper warning was wrong, so they would not easily approach the red hot spring pool.

"Try to summon the spirit." Zhong Jingzhu said.

Zhong Yi nodded, reached into his coat to take out the peach wood sword and the soul-summoning talisman, and then took out the cinnabar and began to prepare.

At this moment, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. The two immediately turned around and saw a set of wet footprints passing by them. These footprints were exactly the same as the footprints that led them to the hot spring area!

They investigated all the hot spring pools that the footprints had been to, and there was no red wine pool, so this was a new set of footprints!

Zhong Jingzhu and Zhong Yi looked at each other. Suddenly, Zhong Yi saw something out of the corner of his eye. In the dim light of the hot spring pool, he seemed to see the flash of a knife.

The next second, a huge force came and the two of them were pushed into the hot spring pool. They didn't even see what was pushing them.

The water in the hot spring pool was not deep. After falling into the water, the two men immediately adjusted their posture and climbed out of the hot spring pool. Zhong Jingzhu looked towards the place where they had just stood, while Zhong Yi moved his gaze to the direction where he had seen the knife light just now.

There was a man walking away with a knife in his hand. As the light was too dim, he could only see a black outline. In the blink of an eye, the black outline disappeared, and he didn't even have time to let Zhong Jingzhu take a look.

After the two climbed out of the hot spring pool, they soon felt cold.

Both of them were wearing thick clothes, which kept them warm at first after being soaked by the spring water. However, in the cold winter wind, the temperature dropped quickly, and even fine ice condensed on the surface of their clothes.

But the two did not stop. They quickly looked for something that might have pushed them, and soon they found another row of footprints.

"Is this the owner of this footprint?" Zhong Yi said, shivering.

"Maybe." Zhong Jingzhu said, "But why did he bring us here?"

"Uncle, have you noticed that it's getting colder?" Zhong Yi had already started to shiver.

Zhong Jingzhu also felt this unusual coldness. His face changed slightly and he immediately said, "Go back quickly!"

The clothes of the two people became very heavy and became hard after being frozen. The temperature in their bodies was quickly taken away by the cold clothes. The red wine pool was at the innermost part of the entire hot spring area.

The temperature dropped so rapidly that it was impossible for them to get out of the hot spring area alive. Both of them knew that this was not a normal situation. Zhong Yi reached inside his clothes to take out a fire talisman, but found that the talisman paper had been soaked in water and had long been worn out, so it was completely unusable.

"Go into the water!" Zhong Jingzhu made a decision immediately. They would feel cold standing in the hot spring area, but the water in the hot spring area was indeed hot and could help them relax.

Without any hesitation, Zhong Yi jumped directly into the nearest hot spring pool. Soon the hot water soaked their clothes, allowing their bodies to gradually warm up.

"The white paper warns that we can't soak in the hot spring for more than half an hour," Zhong Yi said thoughtfully, "so we can stay in there for a long time, preferably more than half an hour?"

"No," Zhong Jingzhu said, "Don't go near the water."

But both of them are now soaked in water.

When their body temperature almost recovered, they climbed out of the hot spring pool in silence and continued to walk out. When their body temperature dropped too much, they entered the hot spring again.

Soon, they passed by a small wooden house and Zhong Yi suddenly stopped.

Zhong Yi turned to look at Zhong Jingzhu and suddenly understood: "Sauna, I know what sauna means! Let's go to the sauna!"

At that moment, Zhong Jingzhu's expression became a little strange, and he said, "Let's go out first."

"No, uncle, it will be fine to go to the sauna." Zhong Yi said.

Zhong Jingzhu still looked at him with a strange look, but did not insist: "Then you go to the sauna room, I'll go out first."

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over there, you be careful."

Even at night, the sauna was open, and as soon as Zhong Yi walked in, he felt a warmth.

He took off his clothes and spread them out in the small room, waiting for them to dry.

Wearing such clothes, with the rapidly dropping temperature, they simply could not get out of the hot spring area safely, because the road leading to the gate of the hot spring area was not entirely lined with hot springs on both sides, but also included a children's water park and a swimming pool, where the water temperature was not high enough.

So you have to come to the sauna, dry your clothes and leave.

Although he deduced this, he did not insist on calling Zhong Jingzhu over. It was not because he trusted Zhong Jingzhu to walk out by himself, but because he felt that Zhong Jingzhu was a little strange.

That... doesn't seem to be his uncle.

There was a smell of baking wood in the sauna, which was not unpleasant, but rather like incense.

Zhong Yi suddenly felt a little sleepy. The sudden drop in body temperature took away too much of his energy. In such a warm environment, he suddenly wanted to fall asleep.

But he couldn't sleep.

Zhong Yi forced himself to stand up and wanted to open the door of the sauna room to get some cool air. As soon as the door opened, he felt a bone-chilling chill.

——Something came in.

But he was unable to react, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground.

The next day, Zhong Yi woke up in his room. He felt comfortable and soft, and even didn't want to open his eyes for a moment.

"woke up?"

He heard Zhong Jingzhu's voice, which startled him and reminded him of what happened last night. He quickly got up from the bed and asked Zhong Jingzhu: "What happened last night?"

Zhong Jingzhu also shook his head: "I don't know, I just remember that I lost consciousness at the door of the hot spring area, and when I woke up again, I returned to my room."

Zhong Yi also said: "I lost consciousness in the sauna."

Then both of them fell silent.

In such a silent atmosphere, there was a knock on the door of the room. They both looked over. Fortunately, the next second, Bai Wan's voice came from behind the door, making them all breathe a sigh of relief.

"My brother asked me to call you. It's time for breakfast."

During breakfast, Zhong Yi and Zhong Jingzhu asked about what happened last night. Chi Shen said that he was doing other things last night and did not notice who sent them back, but it was definitely not him.

As he spoke, he touched his neck.

He did do other things, but he cleaned up the traces.

Chi Shen also asked the two if they saw a white pancake-like ghost face last night, and the two shook their heads, indicating that they did not see it.

After they finished breakfast, Zhong Yi seemed a little hesitant. He thought for a while and asked Chi Shen: "What do you think we should do?"

Chi Shen smiled and said, "Stay in your room, don't go anywhere, and enjoy your vacation."

For some reason, Zhong Jingzhu always felt that this smile was a little creepy, and - you call this deadly place a holiday?

Zhong Yi nodded very understandingly: "I understand."

Judging from what happened last night, if they acted rashly, not only would they not be able to find out anything, but they would also likely get themselves killed here, so he decided to ask Chi Shen's opinion.

After leaving Hong Kong City, he had an inexplicable trust in Chi Shen.

Since Chi Shen said not to go anywhere, he decided to listen to Chi Shen.

But his decision... was soon broken.

Because when they returned to the hotel building, they suddenly found it very noisy. Several young people were sitting on the sofa in the lobby chatting, and another young man was talking to the front desk, and his expression looked very dissatisfied.

Zhong Yi's expression changed immediately.

He looked at Chi Shen: "Haven't we done enough publicity to show that this place is dangerous?"

Chi Shen looked at those young people who were obviously still students, and felt helpless: "There are always some people who are not afraid of death."
