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...
Different from his previous warm and friendly smiles, Chi Shen's smile this time was very faint, like the moon in the mountains and the breeze at dusk, but it made people feel that he was smiling sincerely. It was a smile from the heart, different from his previous smiles. He was very happy with Ji Xingchen's answer.
Chi Shen smiled, turned around and walked into the darkness with the drink bottle. Ji Xingchen turned into a black shadow and followed him, while Gui Lian lay on the edge of the tank and thought for a while, then finally lay back at the bottom of the tank and continued to spit bubbles.
Chi Shen did not walk far. He went to take part in a religious ceremony tonight and "looked" at the situation over there. He was still the only one who could see the door, and the world over there was still chaotic and disordered, with only roaring evil spirits wandering around.
"It seems to be calling me, wanting me to go back." Chi Shen said.
A cold wind lingered around Chi Shen's wrist. He smiled and left the ritual scene.
Even if he saved the world at night, the high school student Superman had to go to school at dawn, so Chi Shen only saved a ghost and one person, and he still had to go to work the next day.
Chi Shen got up early, which was rare for him. Just when he was about to ask Ji Xingchen what breakfast was today, there was a knock on the door.
A hand that is invisible to ordinary people stretched out from the shoe cabinet and opened the door.
Chi Shen yawned and looked towards the entrance. Zhong Yi was standing outside the door, and also standing outside the door was a young girl in a red knee-length skirt.
"Ah, you're here..." After saying hello, Chi Shen was about to go to the kitchen to take a look. As soon as he raised his foot, he was stunned and turned around to look at the door again.
The shoe cabinet door opened, and the socially anxious closet ghost poked its head out and looked outside the door. When Zhong Yi saw the ghost head, he subconsciously frowned and took a step back, still looking a little alert.
But the cabinet ghost didn't care about that. While looking outside the door, he kept knocking on the cabinet in another room.
"Why are you knocking so early in the morning? Don't you want to let the ghosts have a rest? -" Ghost Face crawled out of the room, opened his mouth to curse, but was stunned when he saw the door.
Only Ji Xingchen pushed up his glasses when he passed by and commented, "It suits you very well. It looks good."
The girl in the red knee-length skirt at the door—Bai Wan—held her arms at a loss, with a shy look on her pale face: “Thank you, thank you.”
Bai Wan was only seventeen years old when she died, an age as beautiful as a flower. At this moment, she changed her clothes, revealing her original face, which still looked as tender as a girl. The gorgeous makeup she had worn during her wedding leave was also removed, and her hair was let down. Now she looked like an ordinary high school girl seen everywhere on the street.
——If the body wasn’t translucent.
"I'm here to return Bai Wan and to express my gratitude," Zhong Yi said. "Thank you for lending Bai Wan to me, and thank you for your help last night, which enabled us to escape safely."
"Ah...it's a small matter." Chi Shen responded casually and looked at Bai Wan again.
It was Ji Xingchen who broke the awkward scene. He placed a cup of hot tea on the coffee table and said, "Come in and sit down."
Zhong Yi then brought Bai Wan in.
Bai Wan faced the gazes of the people and the ghost, and sat down on the sofa at a loss.
"If you have any needs in the future and the Zhong family can help you, please feel free to ask."
Chi Shen: “Yeah.”
"Although our abilities may be insignificant to you..."
Chi Shen: “Hmmmm.”
"I have already investigated the cause of my grandfather's death. It was a man named Wenqin, and Brother Yuan died at the hands of the ghost you killed last night..."
Chi Shen: “Yeah, that’s right.”
Ji Xingchen also poured a cup of tea for Bai Wan, although she could only smell it, and then said, "It's time to go to work."
Zhong Yi then realized that he seemed to have disturbed Chi Shen. He stood up and said goodbye. When he left, he looked back at the living room before leaving.
As soon as Zhong Yi left, Bai Wan was left alone facing a room full of people and ghosts looking at her. She was even more at a loss and asked cautiously, "Is it very strange?"
"No, it looks very nice," Chi Shen said, "Did Zhong Yi buy it for you?"
"The change in a ghost's appearance usually reflects a change in its mentality. When Bai Wan captured her parents, the bloody hole on her chest disappeared. Now she has accepted new clothes..." Ghost Face muttered quietly beside her, "Does that mean she will also have a new beginning?"
After muttering, the ghost-faced man rolled his eyes, folded his face to look at his unchanged appearance, and continued to lie down.
No one's attention was on Gui Lian right now, so no one commented on his muttering for the time being. Everyone was staring at Bai Wan, and even Ji Xingchen looked at her with an inquiring gaze.
Bai Wan grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and nodded: "He said that my original clothes looked too cumbersome and inconvenient to move, so he asked me to try something else."
"Oh..." Chi Shen nodded, "That's indeed not very convenient."
Ghost Face said at the side: "Do ghosts need clothes to move around conveniently?"
Chi Shen glanced at the ghost face and said meaningfully: "You don't understand."
Even the closet ghost gave Ghostface a meaningful look, as if to say: You don’t understand.
Ghost Face: "...The skirt is pretty."
Ji Xingchen asked, "Is this your last wish?"
Bai Wan thought about it and shook her head: "I don't know."
Chi Shen did not continue to say anything else, but said: "I just want to know why the spliced ghosts would trap you. Your resentment is already very weak now."
Bai Wan lowered her head and looked at the tea. She was silent for a moment, then she suddenly looked up and laughed: "Isn't this something worth being happy about?"
Chi Shen glanced at Ji Xingchen and nodded: "Yes, it's a good thing."
After chatting for a while, it was really time for Chi Shen to go to work. He left some things that could nourish Bai Wan's soul and left.
Bai Wan sat in the living room for a while, then went to the terrace to look at the flowers she had planted before. After seeing that a large number of them had died, she rolled up her sleeves helplessly and began to water the flowers.
"This outfit is indeed more convenient. I don't have to worry about getting my skirt wet when I collect water."
…
In the elevator, Chi Shen was still thinking. He murmured, "Zhong Yi... I didn't expect that he really hates ghosts, right?"
"The world is unpredictable." Ji Xingchen said.
"Indeed," Chi Shen glanced at the time, "Forget it, let's first consider the plot line that will be submitted after the New Year. So why did I suddenly develop from designing the BOSS to writing the story line? Did Li Xu trust me too much?"
"It's just after the New Year, so I can go out and collect materials during the New Year... not bad?"
After getting out of the elevator, Chi Shen glanced at the green areas in the community. The colorful lights of the Spring Festival were already covered with a thin layer of dust.
It’s the New Year.
