Bai Hengqing's home.

After being comforted by Bai Ximing, Bai Ran's expression eased a little. He seemed to have come out of the omnipresent fear a little. The uneasiness that was about to explode at any time was reduced a lot, and he looked a lot more normal.

After Bai Ximing left, he went to the balcony alone and started making a phone call.

The person he called was the younger generation, who was of the same generation as him and to whom he had given a reward and who went to the old house to help him.

The call was picked up quickly, and the first thing he said was, "Master, I've done it."

The tone didn't sound very friendly.

Bai Ran frowned. He was not aware of his loss of composure in the past two days after being frightened by Bai Wan, or he had not completely come over it, so he did not realize that the disguise he had been wearing for many years was gone. When he was a little more sober, he only realized that something was wrong with the other party.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Don't worry, I will talk to Second Grandpa and ask him to let you come back instead of guarding the old house." Bai Ran's voice softened. Although he was still frowning and looked very bad, his tone was gentle. This was a habit of disguise that he had developed over the years. Now that he was a little more sober, he spoke like this out of habit, as if he had turned on some one-click dressing function.

The voices on the other end also softened a bit. It was obvious that the other party was still pleased with Bai Ran's words. "Thank you, Master. I did scatter the remaining wax beads at the door today. Is there no movement from your end?"

"I understand. I'll ask about the situation. I'll talk to my father and second grandfather about your situation tonight." Bai Ran said a few words on the phone and hung up.

So what went wrong?

Why hasn't anyone discovered that Chi Shen is the murderer who killed He Chao and Lu Xiangyang? !

The image of Chi Shen supporting Bai Wan that night, the image of Chi Shen lifting up the altar, and the screams of Bai Wan's soul in her boudoir, all kinds of broken memory fragments flashed through his mind like a nightmare.

Bai Ran frantically stretched out his fingers and scratched his head, leaving slight bloodstains under his nails. However, he did not notice that he had scratched his scalp. He stared fiercely at the wall in front of him and muttered to himself: "Why don't you die? Why is it so difficult for you to die! Go die quickly!"

No, no, if that’s the case, he’ll just take the initiative to tell it!

Bai Ran suddenly looked up, opened the balcony door fiercely, and walked towards Bai Hengqing's room.

Outside the gate of the Bai family's old house, the person in charge of moving the magic weapons today was still waiting outside the old house. He looked at the time, then looked at the sky that had turned dark, and wondered why Chi Shen had not come back yet. Would he still be able to get the credit today for catching the criminal who killed the two non-Bai family disciples?

Because he is very marginalized, he is very well-informed about various channels. He will get involved in any affairs of the Bai family that he can. Although he has no say, he still knows a lot about various things. He is not popular, but he can still chat with people at the bottom.

At this time, he was bored of waiting, so he took out his mobile phone and started to pay attention to various news about the Bai family. He joined some WeChat groups, which were all people who had nothing to do with the Bai family. In addition to how to make money, they also discussed some gossip every day. It can be said to be a news distribution center.

This time, he had just opened it for a while when he saw the content of everyone's chat. Suddenly, the conversation shifted from how to get the Bai family to pay for their insurance to Chi Shen coming to Bai Hengqing!

Seeing this, the person in charge perked up and immediately typed: "Is this true or false?"

The man immediately took a short video of the gate of Bai Hengqing's house and sent it over. The person in charge took a look and found that although the video was blurry, Chi Shen was highly recognizable, and it was indeed the real young master!

The person in charge looked at the wax bead in his hand and thought that since he could not get back from Chi Shen and could not take the credit for catching the man, he could not lose the credit for finding the wax bead, so he immediately called Bai Ximing.

Bai Ximing was not the one who answered the call. He did not carry a mobile phone with him these days. All the calls were answered by a disciple of the same generation as him, who was from another family. After the call was passed on, Bai Ximing quickly understood the situation and went to find Bai Hengqing.

Bai Hengqing's study.

Bai Ran stood in front of Bai Hengqing. He looked very calm, but his nails were about to scratch his palms. He said, "Second Grandfather, this is what happened. Believe me, there must be something wrong with Chi Shen."

"I understand you don't like him, but there is no evidence for this matter, so there is no need to talk about it anymore." Bai Hengqing didn't give Bai Ran a cold look. Although he didn't care about this person who was not related to the Bai family, he still didn't give Bai Ran a cold look because of Bai Ximing.

"Second Grandfather, I am not framing him. Think about what happened that night. He must have mastered some method of controlling ghosts to do these things. He can even control Bai Wan!" Bai Ran said anxiously, his expression gradually becoming a little cruel, "He will definitely use it against our Bai family!"

Bai Hengqing raised his eyebrows unkindly and asked, "Why does he want to use it against our Bai family? Ximing also told me what he wants. Isn't he just trying to return to the Bai family?"

Bai Ran was stunned after listening to Bai Hengqing's words.

"Also," Bai Hengqing said calmly, "Although your last name is still Bai, this is not your Bai family, do you understand?"

"I...I..." Bai Ran was stunned for a long time, feeling sad and unwilling in his heart. He almost cried and wanted to break something at all costs. In the end, he swallowed his anger, closed his eyes, and said softly: "Second Grandpa, believe me, Chi Shen is really raising a ghost. He must have found something incredible in the old house..."

"uncle."

Bai Ximing's voice suddenly appeared at the door of the study, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone just told me that there are things left by Chi Shenyang's ghost in the old house."

Bai Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, and Bai Ximing motioned Bai Ran to come over. He looked at Bai Ran with some impatience in his eyes, but he still protected Bai Ran behind him, pretending to love him, and looked at Bai Hengqing: "He is closely related to the death of He Chao and Lu Xiangyang. If we can find out the truth about He Chao's death this time, Mr. He will definitely make a statement. We will find a chance to take back the ancestral ruler and suppress the old house, and we don't have to bother Wen Qin to come back."

Bai Hengqing weighed it and nodded: "Then go check it out."

At the entrance of Bai Hengqing's villa, the gatekeeper was still standing there with a confused look on his face, as if he didn't know what was going on.

The punch that Chi Shen just threw was not fast, but not very slow either. It was a speed that he could react to, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it. Chi Shen punched him on the arm, but did not retract his hand. Instead, he twisted his arm and pinned him against the wall. His head hit the wall suddenly, and he felt a little dizzy. When he came to his senses, Chi Shen had already walked in and walked a long way.

The man was stunned for a long time. What just happened? Was that some kind of close combat technique that only existed in legends?

When he remembered that he should report Chi Shen's coming in, he suddenly found that he could not move. His hands and feet had no strength. He could only lean against the wall to avoid falling down. He tried to move his fingers, trying to reach the intercom, but he couldn't reach it.

Behind him, a ghost face was stuck to his back. Silk threads stretched out from that face and bound his hands, but he himself did not see it.

Chi Shen didn't think there was anything surprising about his move just now. During the days in the death game, physical fitness was very important. Chi Shen not only improved his sub-health condition after becoming a programmer, but also learned various fighting skills. After all, if you can't learn them, you will really die. Those who survive must know a few tricks.

After entering Bai Hengqing's house, Chi Shen was still thinking whether what he had just done was right and whether it was the behavior of a normal person.

After thinking about it, he sighed. It seemed that his plan for a friendly visit had failed. Now that Ji Xingchen was not here, he didn't know how to control the degree of a normal person.

Forget it, just do whatever you want.

Bai Hengqing's house is very big, and the garden is also very large. He feels that the layout here contains a mystery, but when he puts the faceless mirror in his pocket, the effects of these things disappear and have no effect on him.

Maybe he felt that his arrangements were foolproof, as there was no one where he was at the moment, or there was no one watching the entire garden.

Chi Shen directly put down the broken-arm ghost in his hand: "You have established contact with him, you should be able to find him."

Black liquid dripped from the broken arm, emitting a bloody smell. The broken-arm ghost looked at Chi Shen: "Who?"

"The young master who called you out last time." Chi Shen said.

"Okay." He agreed, but the eyes of the Broken-armed Ghost hidden in the shadows lit up. Since he had been released, he would -

Chi Shen flipped his fingers and pulled the fishing line in his hand. This was a fishing line he had untied from a locust tree branch. When he pulled it, the armless ghost immediately felt his neck tighten, as if a cold knife was placed on his neck, cutting open a layer of his soul.

"Don't do anything else." Chi Shen looked at the broken-armed ghost in the night with a bright smile.

Although the tone was clearly warm and gentle, the one-armed ghost could sense a hint of horror in it. He bent down, touched the ground with his head, and searched for Bai Ran's scent.

Bai Ran was ready to rest. He had been under tremendous mental stress these past few days and often couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams. He only really relaxed when Bai Hengqing and Bai Ximing said they wanted to investigate the deaths of He Chao and Lu Xiangyang, as well as Chi Shen's ghost-raising incident.

Although it was still early, he felt very tired. He lit a calming incense stick for himself and decided to go to bed early.

The scent of the calming incense was pleasant, mixed with the smell of talisman paper filling the room, making him feel at ease.

The talismans that filled the room were drawn by him today. They were all talismans to ward off evil spirits. The originally plain white walls were no longer visible. Rows of densely packed talismans filled all the gaps. There were also rows of souls hanging in the house. He believed that if Bai Wan visited again, she would not be able to enter this door.

In a few days... In a few days, Chi Shen will disappear. He will not come to the Bai family, let alone seek revenge on him...

His consciousness fell into chaotic darkness, and Bai Ran's mouth corners slowly curved up into a smile.

"Boom boom boom."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his dream.

No, it wasn't a knock on the door. Bai Ran opened his eyes and heard someone knocking on the glass window.

In order to let sufficient sunlight into the house and dilute the foul air, Bai Ran pulled the curtains as wide open as possible today. At this moment, he did not pull them closed, but the glass windows were closed.

Bai Ran looked towards the window, and saw a man standing against the window, holding a handless black shadow in his hand. He had a big smile on his face, and his lips moved, as if he was saying something.

"Boom boom boom."

The young man outside the window stretched out his slender pale fingers and knocked on the window again. Bai Ran did not turn off the lights when he went to bed because he was afraid. At this moment, the warm yellow light in the room fell on the young man's face, reflecting his gentle brows. His lips were slightly raised, it was a very polite arc, and even his eyes were sincere and apologetic, as if he felt presumptuous for disturbing him.

But he was on the second floor and there was no place to step under the window.

After seeing the young man's face clearly, Bai Ran suddenly fell off the bed. Was he in a dream or in reality? Why did he see Chi Shen?

"Boom boom boom."

The sound of knocking on the window rang out again. Perhaps thinking that Bai Ran would not open the window, Bai Ran looked at Chi Shen outside the window, lowered his head and said something to the evil ghost in his hand. The evil ghost suddenly trembled, then stretched out his intact hand, passed through the glass, and opened the window lock.

Watching the lock open little by little, Bai Ran suddenly sat up from the ground and looked around, trying to find something.

Chi Shen opened the window.

He still smiled politely and apologetically, but this smile was extremely terrifying in Bai Ran's eyes. He opened his lips slightly and said slowly, "Good evening, brother."

Bai Ran's pupils shrank. Was it a dream? Or was it reality? Why didn't the soul make a sound? Was this really his dream?

Under Bai Ran's horrified gaze, Chi Shen slowly and even lazily crawled in from the window. He said cheerfully, "Excuse me, do you still remember this ghost?"

Chi Shen picked up the ghost with a broken arm and showed it to Bai Ran.
