Shi Xi pointed at the blood on Ji Mingxu's face and asked the novelist: "This, wasn't done by you?"
Ji Mingxu cooperated by turning his face to the side, completely revealing the marks on it: "When I was outside the door, a piece of waste paper with bloody words stuck to my face."
Afterwards, he went to wash his face, but the bloodstains were not washed away. Shi Xi told him that he had to find the vengeful spirit that did it before he could completely solve the problem.
The novelist said calmly, "I don't have such a bad taste. You guessed right, Ruoruo did open the manuscript and woke me up. During this time, an evil spirit sneaked into the bookstore and caused some chaos. When I woke up, the evil spirit was about to take over Ruoruo's body."
"I couldn't beat it, so I took the initiative to possess Ruoruo. This is my special ability. As long as I don't take the initiative to come out, it has no other way."
Shi Xi didn't completely trust her yet, but he followed her words and said, "If she's possessed for too long, her body won't be able to bear it."
"Yes, not long after I was possessed, I received a call from Mr. Jiaming. It turned out that Ruoruo had contacted an exorcist," the novelist said. "I knew how powerful the evil spirits were, and I was worried that the exorcists who came here wouldn't be able to handle it, so I designed a small scam to test it out. If they are not capable enough, I will drive them away."
"So you've been planning this scam since we talked on the phone..." Jiaming's cheeks flushed red. "I didn't realize that. If I had come here alone, I would have returned empty-handed."
"Not necessarily. You are not sharp enough, but you reacted well when you were provoked by the evil spirit outside the door." The novelist smiled faintly: "I will make a comprehensive assessment."
"You are the real client," Ji Mingxu did not completely let down his guard and asked, "So, can you tell us the real situation now?"
The novelist turned the cup and said in a deep voice: "Of course, I guess it is an evil ghost that relies on taking the bodies of living people to move. The blood and resentment in it are too heavy."
After hearing this, Shi Xi and Jia Ming thought of the same name at the same time and looked at each other.
Before I could say anything, the lights in the bookstore suddenly went out, leaving only a few dim lights coming in through the windows.
With the help of this little light, Shi Xi saw a pair of huge dark hands stretching out from the ground and grabbing Ruoruo's body!
Shi Xi understood immediately that the black shadow wanted to force out the novelist who possessed Ruoruo by hurting her body!
It was indeed successful. The moment the body was caught, a pale soul emerged from Ruoruo's body, fiercely bit the black shadow, and tore it off Ruoruo's body!
Two souls, one black and one white, fought into a ball and were blown up to the second floor like the wind.
The novelist only left one sentence: "Take good care of Ruoruo!"
Because of these people, the novelist felt at ease to leave Ruoruo's body and fight the evil spirit.
After taking a look at Ruoruo lying on the table, Shi Xi immediately made a decision: "Jia Ming stays to protect Ruoruo, and Teacher Ji brings the live broadcast equipment and follows me!"
The two of them responded quickly, Ji Mingxu took the equipment and followed Shi Xi up to the second floor.
Shi Xi took out a talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the stairs, blocking the evil spirit from going downstairs.
The camera trembled slightly along with Ji Mingxu, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was equally tense.
[Did you see it? I seemed to see a strange shadow grabbing Ruoruo... Was it my eyes that were blurry? ]
[I saw it too, 3D projection? Special effects? It can’t be a real ghost! ]
[What are you thinking? How can there be ghosts in this world? They are all made up by the anchor! ]
However, there are also many discordant voices mixed in.
[Why are there so many people watching this ghost hunting live broadcast? The scenes are very ordinary, all thanks to the NPCs making up the story, there are no big scenes, only the bloody face at the beginning and the identity reversal at the end are a little interesting. ]
[Because it is a celebrity live broadcast, there are more viewers, all of whom come to see the faces. Who would really watch this if they are a fan of the ghost? The ghost Xiaoyuzi has started broadcasting, that is exciting. ]
[I was wondering why there are so many critical comments all of a sudden. It turns out that a certain anchor who is famous for marketing has started broadcasting. Fans of this stinky fish, get out of here and stop trying to make a name for yourself.]
After Shi Xi went upstairs, Jia Ming put a talisman on Ruoruo to dispel evil spirits and calm the mind, opened the live broadcast room on his mobile phone, and followed the dynamics of Shi Xi.
Seeing these provocative comments, he frowned. He had some impression of this anchor. He used to be an anchor who mainly broadcast script-killing and escape room. Recently, he transformed into a ghost-hunting anchor. His marketing direction is "the first ghost-hunting anchor in the whole network". It seems that the live broadcast time overlapped.
The live broadcast platform arranged a moderator for Shi Xi and Jia Ming's live broadcast. Jia Ming sent them a private message, asking them to mute the viewers who came here to recommend other anchors, and continue to focus on Shi Xi.
In the live broadcast room, the second floor was even darker than the first floor and was abnormally quiet.
No one knew where the novelist and the evil ghost had gone. Shi Xi pressed the light switch, and the chandelier above his head and the small spotlights on the wall lit up together, and then flickered strangely.
In the flickering lights, the audience followed the camera and saw the scene on the second floor. The walls and the ground were covered with bloody and crooked words - Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome...
The bookshelf was covered with bloody handprints, and the floor was covered with a lot of spread-out white papers with blurry human faces printed on them, rustling in the cold wind.
[My scalp exploded! ! ]
【This is simply spiritual pollution! 】
[I said before that this live broadcast room doesn’t have any big scenes! This scene is more realistic than escape room variety shows and supernatural movies! 】
Fans of Tan Ling Xiao Yu Zai are stubborn.
[That's it? This is just normal, don't brag! ]
Shi Xi's fans are just having fun:
[With Xiao Yuzai's live broadcasting skills, how dare he come to challenge Xiao Shi and Jia Ming? Isn't this just making your anchors laugh in front of everyone? ]
What’s even funnier is that no matter how Xiao Yuzai’s fans and internet trolls tried to stir up trouble, Shi Xi ignored them, and the audience in the live broadcast room had no intention of leaving. They were too lazy to even go to Xiao Yuzai’s room to curse people, as the live broadcast here was at a critical moment!
Shi Xi ignored the faulty lights and walked towards the place where the resentment was thick: "Teacher Ji, follow closely."
"Yeah!" Mr. Ji Mingxu, one of the top traffic stars in the entertainment industry who may not even be hired with an eight-figure salary, was obediently serving as an intern in Shixi's live broadcast room.
Walking around a row of bookshelves, several desks for customers to read appeared in front of us. This place was not spared either, with bloody hand prints and crazy claw marks everywhere.
The camera followed Shi Xi's sight and pointed to a corner. A huge dark figure suddenly appeared in the camera. The dark figure noticed the arrival of the uninvited guest, uttered an ambiguous laugh, and slowly turned back.
"Zizi——" The live broadcast room suddenly malfunctioned and became pitch black.
【Ahhh, it’s here! The live broadcast room malfunction is late but it’s here! 】
[My heart almost stopped when that thing turned around! Is the malfunction in the live broadcast room also considered forced blurring? What on earth is that thing? It feels so oppressive. ]
[Maybe it's a ball of black slime (No)]
Only sounds could be heard in the live broadcast room, but no images could be seen. However, Shi Xi was not affected at all. The huge black shadow turned around, revealing a pair of small eyes, with the left eye glowing a strange yet familiar scarlet color.
"Come here?" The shadow narrowed his eyes and waved at the camera. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, with a malicious smile: "Are you filming me? I won the fight, is there any audience to give me a tip?"
The black shadow stretched out his hand and pulled the novelist out from the corner. The novelist's soul was flying outwards and was about to be shattered and disappear completely.
Shi Xi gritted his teeth and used the blood on the ground to draw a magic circle, sealing the novelist's scattered soul in this space.
"You like being on camera, right?" Shi Xi took out a marker and looked into the shadow's eyes. "You are too yin right now. The live broadcast room is malfunctioning and nothing can be captured."
"That won't do." The black shadow made being on camera a top priority. He threw the weak novelist aside, shrank his huge body to the size of a normal person, and restrained his negative energy.
As soon as the live broadcast room screen was restored, the audience saw a black shadow walking towards Shi Xi. It had no mouth, but its voice echoed throughout the space: "I recognized you. The master is looking for you. If I kill you, I can get more energy."
The camera trembled, and Ji Mingxu looked at Shi Xi nervously: "Shi Xiao, can I help?"
Shi Xi looked back, his eyes calm: "Yes, the quality of the live broadcast depends on you, so hold the live broadcast equipment firmly."
"Wow, I never looked at you carefully, you are so handsome," the black shadow suddenly stared at Ji Mingxu, his scarlet eyes flashing with excitement: "What an ideal vessel!"
No one could see clearly what the black shadow did. It seemed like it just blinked, and then it emerged from the ground in front of the camera and reached out to grab Ji Mingxu's neck!
As soon as the fingers touched Ji Mingxu's skin, the shadow could no longer move forward an inch. A pale hand stretched out from the side, grabbed its neck, and threw it aside.
Teacher Zhuang avoided the camera and asked in a clear voice: "Xiao Shi, can I throw it to this position?"
“Okay.” Shi Xi drew a talisman in the air and hit the black shadow, sealing it on the ground: “You are so arrogant, I thought you were a powerful character, but you are nothing more than this.”
脖子上冰冷的触感还没消退，季明煦心脏都差点蹦出来了，但他没有忘记和时晞的约定，稳稳地拍下了这一幕。
嘉鸣带着苏醒后担心小说家的若若，急急忙忙地跑上二楼时，正好看到这一幕。
若若本来被地上的黑影吓到了，看到倒在角落里，虚弱得魂体几乎透明的小说家后，眼眶一红，急忙跑了过去。
“今晚是你的毕业考试，”时晞看向嘉鸣：“你来收尾吧。”
“好。”嘉鸣深吸一口气，从口袋里拿出一把写满符咒的桃木匕首，捅进黑影的胸膛！黑影凄厉地嚎叫一声，魂飞魄散。
“咚”的一声，一颗晶莹剔透的血玉落在地上。
嘉鸣拿出封印瓶，小心翼翼地装好瓶子，递给时晞。
“太快了，”时晞一本正经的给他传授经验：“机会难得，可以拿它来练练符。”
嘉鸣发出了“学到了”的声音：“下次一定注意！”
季明煦：“……”
【一个敢教一个敢学啊。不过，恭喜嘉鸣毕业！】
【小说家还好吗？】
【这个直播效果是怎么做到的，好强！我刚刚看得都不敢呼吸。】
【刚刚有只很漂亮的手出镜了，手指修长纤细，指甲盖都修剪得干干净净，声音又很苏，是谁啊？隐藏npc吗？能不能让他露个脸，我给主播刷十个流星雨！】
【小鱼仔的粉丝怎么没声儿了？】
【被圈粉了不行啊！别打扰我看直播，我想知道小说家怎么样了！】
【……】
黑影被物理超度后，季明煦脸上的血迹消失了，脖子上的手指印还在。
时晞和嘉鸣一起把小说家游离的魂魄聚拢起来，暂时封在瓶子里。
手办大小的小说家坐在瓶子里，因为魂魄还没有完全归拢，面容像蒙着一层纱，看不真切。
阴气太浅，连镜头都捕捉不到。
对上若若担忧的目光，小说家温声安慰：“我没事啦，别担心。”
若若抿了抿唇，眼泪啪嗒啪嗒地掉了下来：“都是为了保护我，你才会变成这样。”
“真的没事啦，”小说家站了起来，小手按在瓶子上：“我一点都不痛哦，很快就会恢复了。”
若若的眼泪掉得更厉害了，她看向时晞：“小时，她真的会恢复吗？”
“我带回去养一段时间就好了。”时晞说完，拿起一张符纸，沾水贴在季明煦的脖子上，盖住黑影留下的手指印。
【瓶子里明明什么都没有嘛，她们演得好真，我就信了！】
【所以结局是小说家被救回来了，真好呜呜。】
【小时……这是怨灵不是宠物！】
【容我歪个话题，季哥脖子上贴着符咒的造型好酷！这个镜头我能看一百遍！】
【关注主播了。之前说过一些不成熟的话，向主播道个歉，这直播质量确实牛逼，确实是探灵一姐。】
回到一楼，时晞拿起桌上的小说手稿，翻开看了看，忽地笑了：“什么嘛，这完全是个可爱的故事。”
【什么什么，给我们也念念。】
时晞轻笑一声，从季明煦手里拿过直播设备，让他和嘉鸣一起入镜：“嘉鸣，今天正式毕业了，争取早点carry全场。季老师，实习好玩吗？”
季明煦一笑：“好玩。”
“那么，今天的直播就到这里了，下次再见。”时晞在大片大片的礼物特效中关了直播。
“怨灵留下的痕迹很快就会消失，如果你害怕，这两天就不要住在这里了，我们会给你一道护身符。”嘉鸣对若若说：“你的委托到此结束啦。”
“辛苦你们了，真的很感谢你们出手相助！”若若眼含泪水，深深鞠了一躬：“过两日我再会去无忧观拜访，小说家就拜托你们了。”
探灵主播三人组一起回了无忧观。
时晞把新到手的血玉交给清玄师兄，不必多说，师兄今天也追了他们的直播，知道他们会回观里，连夜宵都准备好了。
小说家第一次来无忧观，就蹭了一顿美食。
这次直播人气很高，直播结束后讨论度一直居高不下，季明煦的颈侧贴符造型还上了热搜。连探灵小鱼仔来碰瓷的事都出了个圈，很多人都当成乐子看——小鱼仔的粉丝气势汹汹地来挑事，结果全都被时晞圈粉了。
不过大家更想知道，小说家的手稿里写了什么，到底有多可爱。
回到房间，时晞把装着小说家的瓶子放在桌上，拿出她的小说手稿。
“你的故事写得很好，”时晞说：“你一直待在本子里，是有什么执念吗？”
“算是吧……”小说家打了个嗝，眼睛一亮：“你居然能和怨灵签订契约啊，怎么样，要和我契约吗？”
【新任务：成为小说家；
详情：小说家三尺晴希望你继承她的天赋，继续创作；
奖励：继承三尺晴的创作天赋；
惩罚：无。】
时晞道：“原来你叫三尺晴。”
“是我的笔名啦，怎么样，要答应我吗？”三尺晴趴在瓶壁上，兴致勃勃地看着时晞：“我的任务一定很好做。”
惜光的任务已经全部完成了，只需要等待丰收，时晞考虑了下，答应了：“可以。”
“太好了，”三尺晴思索片刻：“你以前没写过小说，可以先去文学论坛或者小说贴吧，写一些短篇故事练练手。”
“可以，”时晞也挺有兴趣：“你对我的笔名有什么想法吗？”
三尺晴看向窗外，枯树在夜风中飒飒作响，她道：“叫‘从风远行’怎么样？”
时晞浅笑：“挺好。”
时晞很快就收到了小说家的新任务，在某知名文学论坛注册了账号后，她立即获得了80%的创作天赋，脑海里多了许多关于创作小说的知识。
三尺晴尤其擅长写人设，时晞发现，这些知识对磨练演技也有帮助。
次日起床，时晞冒出了一个悬疑脑洞，吃完早餐后，她兴致很高地开始码字，一鼓作气写了三千字！
她读了一遍稿子，觉得自己写得太妙了，立即发上论坛。
因为是练习任务，她没有用正式笔名，给自己取了个新笔名：我很行！
短暂的假期结束了，时晞回归剧组，因为拍摄到了后期，每天都很忙碌，三尺晴魂体还很虚弱，大多时候都在沉睡，等时晞想起自己那篇小说时，已经是五天后了。
时晞从温暖的被窝里弹了起来，赶紧登录文学论坛。
一个新人小说家，只发表了三千字，应该会无人问津吧……时晞心里有点忐忑，打开帖子一看，自己的帖子居然被加精了，跟帖很多！
但是评论的画风有点清奇——
【好优秀的脑洞！】
【这就坑了吗？我还躺在坑底呢qvq】
【大大，你断更五天了，你确定你很行吗？】
【大大，你不行啊。】
时晞：“……”
为了证明自己很行，时晞掀开被子，决定怒码三千字！
又过了一周，忙碌的“我很行”同学还是没能完结这篇短篇小说，但是……她又有了一个新脑洞，抓心挠肝地想写。
于是，她又开了一个坑。
【看得津津有味，然后刷地一下就没了，这种熟悉的被支配感觉让我赶紧回去看了一眼作者的名字……果然是你啊，不行大大！】
【大大一定会填坑的吧？一定会的吧？】
【大大，你一定要证明你行啊！】
三尺晴的魂魄已经稳定了很多，她看着坐在电脑前飞速码字的时晞，笑了：“虽然你现在已经继承了90%的天赋，但还是没忍住犯了新人毛病呢，居然同时开两个坑……要努力完结哦，‘我很行’大大。”
时晞：“……”感觉这回真的把自己坑了。
转眼间，到了希光个人画展闭幕的时间，时晞一共出售了四幅画，成交额一亿三千万，打破了单次画展成交额的记录，希光因此登上世界艺术家的舞台，吸引了无数注意力。
接着，新月画廊代替希光宣布了一个重磅消息，希光把备受瞩目的《深渊》和《光》等四幅画作捐给了新月画廊名下的慈善机构，将参与年底的慈善拍卖会，拍卖所得将全部投入慈善事业。
参展的十幅画中，只有《影》和《游鱼》被时晞留下了。时晞给了姜彤一个新地址，画已经被安全地送到了时晞的新家。
没错，新家。
时晞打开门，对惜光笑笑：“你不是喜欢搬家吗？这是新家，喜欢吗？”
“搬家！”惜光兴奋得现身了，在新家里飘来飘去，活泼的小鱼也跟着他一起，在空中游动。他经过的地方都变得格外干净：“新家好大，好喜欢。”
那两幅画被挂在客厅最合适的位置，惜光驻足于《游鱼》前，轻声说：“小时答应我的事，全都做到了。”
“现在到处都是称赞的声音。大家都很好奇《影》和《游鱼》的去向……”庄老师低笑：“这两幅画意义非凡，当然会被小时一直珍藏。”
"Xiguang," Zhang Qingyu's voice trembled: "Have your hands become transparent?"
Xiguang raised his hand, his fingertips were so light that they were almost invisible. He faced everyone and smiled easily: "My wish has come true. It's time for me to leave. I'm really lucky and happy to meet you... I actually have friends now. This time is happier than my life before. It's like a beautiful dream."
Xiguang's body became more and more transparent. Shixi stepped forward and gave him a final hug: "Xiguang, we will always be your friends. We will always miss you and wish you a safe journey."
A tear fell on her cheek, and Shi Xi couldn't tell whether it was Xiguang's or her own. At the last moment, she saw a group of free little fish swimming out of the balcony, blending into the night sky and disappearing.
