[New mission: accept the commission from Director Cen’s friend and solve the supernatural incident;

Success reward: a top-level talisman book;

Failure penalty: Go to the Underworld Human Office as a volunteer (one week).

Shi Xi was quite interested in this commission. Since the system had assigned her a task, she didn't have to think about it. She asked Lin Wenyi to help her turn down those jobs that she could choose not to do, and accepted the commission from Director Cen's friend.

Director Cen was naturally very happy that the matter was done. He handed his friend's business card to Shi Xi and asked them to chat privately.

Director Cen’s friend is Jiang Tong, the owner of a gallery. Shi Xi made an appointment with her to meet at the gallery in the evening.

Lin Wenyi sent Shi Xi to the gate of the community, looked around, and mentioned something: "You are too popular now, and the security here is not enough. The company wants to change your residence. What do you think?"

Shi Xi put on his hat and mask and pressed down the brim of his hat: "Okay, you arrange it."

She didn't have much stuff, so moving was not a big deal. She had lived alone before, and the small house was just right for her. But now that she had a few more resentful spirit companions, it was inevitably a bit crowded. It would be better to move to a more spacious place.

In the evening, Shi Xi used his disguise talent to change his appearance and came to Jiang Tong's gallery as Taoist Wuyou. This is a three-story old house, and every brick and tile reveals the charm of years of precipitation.

Shi Xi wore a white suspender dress, a lazy bun, and a white mask, revealing only a pair of innocent drooping eyes. Her temperament was pure and sweet. The gallery manager thought she was an art student who came to visit the exhibition, and smiled as he gave her an exhibition guide.

Shi Xi shook his head and changed his voice to the one designed for Wuyou: "I'm looking for Ms. Jiang Tong. Please tell her that Wuyou is here."

"Are you Taoist Wuyou?" The gallery manager opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Jiang Tong had told him that a master was coming today and asked him to be courteous in entertaining him. The beautiful girl in front of him was completely different from the image of a master he had imagined.

Shi Xi nodded: "I am."

The gallery manager immediately put away his surprised expression and politely led the way for Shi Xi: "Boss Jiang has already given instructions. Taoist Priest, please come this way."

The gallery was holding an exhibition of paintings by emerging young painters and did not charge admission. Even in the evening, there were still many people visiting the exhibition.

Shi Xi followed the manager, viewing with great interest the paintings on display along the way. These paintings had various perspectives, but had a common theme - sunset, an extremely gorgeous sunset.

The gallery manager was very perceptive. Seeing that Shi Xi was interested, he introduced her to the young painter named "Sunset Molten Gold" in a gentle voice, and there was no dull moment throughout the whole process.

Going up to the top floor, Shi Xi met the client this time, Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong was a beautiful woman with a bright appearance, but her complexion looked a little listless, with a dark complexion under her eyes, as if she had not had a good sleep for a long time.

Director Cen reminded Jiang Tong that although Taoist Wuliu was very young, he had real skills, and asked her not to be suspicious after meeting him.

Jiang Tong was mentally prepared. When she saw Shi Xi, she was not too surprised and calmly asked Shi Xi to sit down.

As soon as Shi Xi sat down, an assistant brought him iced lemon tea.

"Boss Jiang, Taoist Wuyou, please enjoy your meal," the gallery manager said politely, "Xiao Tang and I are just outside the door. Please feel free to tell me if you need anything."

Jiang Tong nodded: "Go ahead."

The gallery manager and the assistant quietly left the office and closed the door.

"Thank you for coming here, Taoist Priest." Jiang Tong half-closed her eyes, looking very sleepy. "How much did Director Cen tell you about my situation?"

Shi Xi: "Just say something strange happened in your family."

"Well, I'll tell the Taoist priest in detail," Jiang Tong took a sip of lemon tea to refresh herself. "I live in another community, about two kilometers away from here. I live alone, and only the cleaning lady comes twice a week. A week ago, I was busy with the art exhibition until very late, and I didn't get home until the early morning. I washed up quickly and went to sleep.

"When I woke up the next day, I found something wrong in the room. The bags, coats, documents and other things that I had thrown on the floor last night were now neatly placed on the table.

"The cleaning lady didn't have the password, and that day wasn't the cleaning day. I thought it was a family member coming over, so I called out twice but no one answered. I was the only one at home. The more I thought about it, the creepier I felt, so I quickly checked the surveillance cameras at the door and the living room... From the surveillance, no one else had been to my house."

Shi Xi nodded: "What happens next?"

"I didn't think it was supernatural at that time. I thought I was sleepwalking because of too much pressure, or I was so sleepy that I forgot what I had done. Isn't that possible?" Jiang Tong's fingers were a little numb from the cold. She put down her lemon tea and exhaled: "I didn't move out, and I installed surveillance in the room."

"..." Shi Xi speculated: "The surveillance footage in your room is malfunctioning, right?"

Jiang Tong raised her head with a little surprise in her eyes. She adjusted her mood and continued, "Yes, I went to the gallery after installing the surveillance camera. When I got home from get off work, my messy room was tidy again. Even the cosmetics on the dressing table were neatly stored. Now I am sure that these strange things have nothing to do with me. There may be another 'person' in my house."

Shi Xi: "Then you adjusted the room surveillance, but the surveillance screen was malfunctioning and you couldn't see anything."

"Yes, I don't dare to live there anymore. I've been living in the gallery these days," Jiang Tong clenched her fingers anxiously. "During this period, my family invited several experts to come to my house. They tried many methods but couldn't find the ghost. In the end, they determined that there was no ghost in my house. They said the ghost might have left, but I don't think so."

Things were at a standstill. Jiang Tong felt that there was a ghost in the house, but no one could find it. Although she moved out, she was always worried and didn't dare to sleep at night. She was already a little mentally weak.

"Before the strange things happened at home, have you ever encountered strange things or come into contact with weird things?" Shi Xi asked.

"No." Jiang Tong shook her head decisively.

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

“Neither do I.”

"I need to go to the scene and take a look." Shi Xi looked into Jiang Tong's eyes with a gentle look: "Don't worry, I can protect your safety."

Jiang Tong was stunned. This Taoist priest Wuyou looked very young, gentle and handsome, but his words were inexplicably convincing.

Jiang Tong didn't think about it for long before agreeing.

When going downstairs, Shi Xi just took one more look at a certain painting, and Jiang Tong said to her: "This painting has not been decided yet. If the Taoist priest likes it, I will give it to you."

Shi Xi curled his eyes and said, "Don't spend money. I don't understand painting. This painting should be collected by someone who knows how to appreciate it."

Hearing this, Jiang Tong smiled rarely and did not insist any more.

Jiang Tong's home is very close to the gallery, only about ten minutes' drive away. It is also a villa area. Jiang Tong lives in a two-story villa, which is much smaller than the one in the gallery.

When she reached the door, Jiang Tong hesitated to open it. She hid her shaking hands and said, "Sorry, I'm a little scared."

"No need to apologize," Shi Xi thought for a moment and said to her, "In fact, from your description, the creature living in your house should not have any intention of harming anyone. If it wanted to harm you or scare you, why would it hide so hard?"

Jiang Tong was convinced and felt less afraid. She mustered up the courage to open the electronic lock and opened the door with her fingerprint.

The house, which had not been occupied for a week, did not have any peculiar smell. It was extremely tidy, and the floor was so clean that it could be used as a mirror.

Seeing this comfortable environment, Jiang Tong's face turned pale: "When I left last time, the house was not so clean, and there were blankets and clothes on the sofa. Something happened here, I gave my aunt a holiday, and my family will not come over."

The only one who could keep the house so clean is... a ghost.

"This kid has a really good hobby." Shi Xi's eyes lit up, and he became more interested in this commission!
