Chapter 81



"There is an exquisite magic circle on the painting that can hide the aura."

"It's been there since I was conscious."

“I don’t know who set it up.”

Xiguang wrote lines of words on the mirror to answer Shixi's questions.

Even Xiguang didn't know who set up the magic circle, so Shixi had no way to find the answer.

After she practices for a while longer, perhaps she will be able to see the ingenuity of this painting.

She now vaguely felt that Xiguang's ability to regain consciousness was related to this magic circle.

Continuing to ask questions without getting an answer, Shi Xi changed the question: "Who was the last person to own this painting? Do you remember?"

Xiguang's answer appeared on the mirror:

"A young man."

"Tall and thin, with single eyelids, people call him Mr. Chen."

"I was sent away after just two days at his house."

After seeing these descriptions, Shi Xi and Jiang Tong's expressions changed.

Shi Xi looked at Jiang Tong: "Boss Jiang, is this the Boss Chen you know?"

"All the characteristics Xiguang described match up." Jiang Tong's eyes turned a little colder.

Jiang Tong took out her cell phone. The screen was flickering due to the negative energy. Jiang Tong was no longer afraid. She opened Chen Junming's circle of friends, found a photo, and handed it to the mirror: "Xiguang, is this the person?"

Xiguang wrote down his reply: "It's him."

"This man is called Chen Junming," Jiang Tong took a deep breath, "Does he know you are in the painting?"

Xiguang wrote:

"I helped him clean up the house once."

"He was very scared and asked someone to exorcise the evil spirit."

"I was discovered, but I refused to leave."

"They didn't burn me, they sent me away."

They both thought of the powerful wizard recommended by Chen Junming.

The wizard had real skills, so he found out that the problem was with the painting.

After Chen Junming knew that there was something wrong with the painting, he did not choose to destroy it, but donated it anonymously to a charity auction.

He was the donor of the painting, so he naturally knew that the painting was bought by Jiang Tong. He did not tell Jiang Tong that there was a problem with the painting at the first time, but after Jiang Tong had been worried and frightened for a week, he took the initiative to recommend the wizard to her, and he concealed his identity as the donor of the painting from beginning to end.

Shi Xi raised his eyebrows: "There is something wrong with this person."

"Chen Junming was pursuing me. He knew I would attend the auction and that I liked to collect water-themed ink paintings. When I bid for this painting, he offered to buy it for me, but I refused." Jiang Tong clenched her fingers: "If you think about it, he has been trying to find ways to get this painting into my house and prevent me from suspecting him."

Shi Xi narrowed his eyes: "Chen Junming knows that the ghost in the painting would never see anyone, and he also knows that the painting is not so easy to be discovered, so he tried his best to send the painting to you. When you are exhausted because of these things, he will appear and save you from the water and fire."

Chen Junming probably didn't expect that Jiang Tong really found an expert who could discover the painting. He also didn't expect that this expert actually chatted with the socially anxious ghost in the painting.

Jiang Tong gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Junming has always been unscrupulous in doing things, and he is not afraid of being exposed. This is something he can do. If Wuyou was not so powerful, I would still be kept in the dark by him!"

This plan is not perfect, but Chen Junming is like this, he likes to take a chance.

Jiang Tong is the owner of a large gallery and has a rich family background. Now that she knows the truth, she will certainly not be bullied by Chen Junming in vain.

Shi Xi didn't need to worry too much about this. She cleared her throat and got back to the topic.

"Xiguang, do you want to be reincarnated?"

The room became very quiet and one could almost hear the two girls' gentle breathing.

Xiguang carefully wrote four words on the mirror:

“I want to be famous.”

【New mission: Become a famous painter;

Details: After the painter Xiguang died unexpectedly, his soul attached to his last painting. Due to his deep obsession, he could not touch the painting tools and could not enter reincarnation;

Reward: Inherit Xiguang's artistic talent;

Punishment: Inherit Xiguang's social phobia (one month). 】

"This kind of wish is hard to realize, but you are lucky to have met me," Shi Xi smiled casually, "Xiguang, you are on the verge of becoming famous!"

Jiang Tong didn't know how to describe her inner feelings at this moment. This conversation was between the Yin and Yang, and was also separated by a mirror. It didn't sound serious at all, but it touched her deeply, as if she had witnessed a great agreement.

The blood color on the mirror disappeared, and a word appeared again, written in a strong and firm stroke: Good!

Shi Xi raised his eyelashes and asked Jiang Tong: "Boss Jiang, can you give me this painting?"

Even if Shi Xi didn't mention it, Jiang Tong had already made up her mind: "Of course, you are the best destination for this painting, but... I want to take a picture as a souvenir."

Shi Xi nodded: "Please take a picture."

The system bound Xiguang, and he became the new task target. He could live in Shixi's game space like Lin Ying and the others.

After Xiguang entered the game, the negative energy in the room completely disappeared, the lighting returned to normal, and the flames on the scented candles were blown out by the wind.

Looking at the ink painting on the wall again, Jiang Tong suddenly felt as if she was in another world. She turned on the camera and took a picture carefully.

Cherish the light, wish you well…Jiang Tong whispered softly.

The sudden ring of the cell phone startled Jiang Tong. She looked at the screen and saw that it was a call from Chen Junming! This guy is still ruthless! Jiang Tong was furious and her pretty face wrinkled.

Shi Xi guessed what happened from her expression, and the bad water in his heart bubbled up: "Boss Jiang, do you want to vent your anger?"

Jiang Tong's eyes lit up: "Does Wuliu have any good ideas?"

Shi Xi: "He called at this time just to test you. If he knew that the matter was not resolved, he would definitely recommend himself again."

"That's right."

"Why don't we take advantage of the situation and let him come over so that he can also have a taste of the fear," Shi Xi smiled like a little fox: "After answering the phone, you said this..."

The more Jiang Tong listened, the brighter her eyes became. She answered the phone and told Chen Junming that she had encountered strange things again after returning home tonight, and hoped that he could bring the wizard over to help.

Chen Junming immediately agreed and asked Jiang Tong to wait, he would be there soon.

Shi Xi touched his stomach and thought he could still have another midnight snack: "We have nothing to do anyway, how about we order takeout?"

Jiang Tong: “Great minds think alike!”

The two of them ordered from the same Chinese restaurant, and the waiter delivered the seafood casserole porridge to their door, even with the pot.

As soon as the two of them finished their midnight snack, Chen Junming contacted Jiang Tong, and they arrived at the gate of the community.

In order to make the performance more realistic, Shi Xi and Jiang Tong waited for him outside the door, pretending to be too scared to enter the house.

Chen Junming was just as Xiguang described, tall, thin, wearing a suit, and looked like a decent human being, but Shi Xi knew that beneath this pleasing appearance was a sinister and evil soul.

The wizard that Chen Junming brought was a middle-aged man wearing a black Tang suit, with a fat face but a bit fierce look. He stood beside Chen Junming with his hands behind his back and his face upturned, looking very much like a master.

Chen Junming walked towards Jiang Tong, his eyes concerned: "Boss Jiang, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Jiang Tong calmly distanced herself from him and said with drooping eyelashes, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for coming over. I really have no other way."

Chen Junming said ambiguously: "Mr. Jiang, it's too polite to say that. No matter when, as long as you need me, I will come without hesitation."

Shi Xi couldn't listen any longer and coughed: "It's late, let's hurry up and start, shall we?"

Chen Junming looked at Shi Xi, smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Boss Jiang, who is this?"

"This is my friend. She came with me to look for something." Jiang Tong introduced the two people: "Wuyou, this is Mr. Chen, a partner of the gallery."

"I have heard of your great name for a long time." Shi Xi did not want to say more to him and looked at the wizard: "Master, please come in."

"Yes." The wizard nodded modestly, walked into the villa first, and said confidently: "If you are afraid, you can stay outside. It only takes me ten minutes to get rid of the evil spirit!"

Shi Xi clapped his hands enthusiastically: "As expected of a master, awesome!"

"..." Your acting is a bit exaggerated, little Taoist priest. Jiang Tong almost laughed, and quickly lowered the corners of her lips and followed: "I'm not afraid, I have to see it with my own eyes to feel at ease."

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Jiang, I will accompany you." Chen Junming followed closely.

Jiang Tong was unhappy, but thinking about the future plan, she endured and said nothing, just continued to keep her distance from him.

Shi Xi walked at the back, watching the performance of the wizard and Chen Junming with great interest.

The wizard walked around the first floor, then went up to the second floor. As he walked, he said to Jiang Tong, "I can sense that the yin energy is getting heavier. The evil spirit is upstairs!"

Shi Xi almost laughed out loud. At this moment, there was not a single evil spirit in the room. They were all playing in her game space.

The wizard knew that the problem was with the painting. He didn't find the painting on the first floor, so he went straight to the second floor.

Jiang Tong also noticed it and thought that he was pretending really well. If she didn't know the truth, she might have believed it!

After entering Jiang Tong's room, the wizard took a look around and walked to Xiguang's painting without hesitation. He pretended to touch it with his hand and said, "I feel it. The evil spirit is hidden in this painting..."

The wizard paused and his expression changed drastically!

This reaction was different from what they had agreed on. Was the wizard trying to exaggerate himself? Chen Junming frowned, "Master, what's wrong with you? Now that you've found the place where the evil spirit is hiding, what are you waiting for?"

"Evil..." The wizard said in a hoarse voice, doubting his life a little: "It's not here!"

This wizard has real skills. He can help Chen Junming find out the problems with the painting, and naturally he can also find out that there is no ghost in the current painting.

Chen Junming winked at the wizard: "What do you mean?"

The wizard gritted his teeth and told the truth: "There was an evil spirit in the painting, but it has left now. There is no evil spirit in this room anymore!"

According to Chen Junming's plan, the wizard had to find the evil spirit and then burn the painting so that Jiang Tong would be grateful to Chen Junming.

There is no ghost in the painting now. Even if he burns the painting, Jiang Tong won’t be able to see the ghost turn into ashes. It’s useless!

"Mr. Chen," Jiang Tong sighed in disappointment, "I didn't expect your people couldn't find the ghost either."

"Mr. Jiang, listen to me..." Chen Junming tried to excuse himself, "This master is too powerful. The evil spirits in the house ran away when they saw him!"

"Really?"

Chen Junming nodded: "Really, if you are scared, I will stay with you tonight."

"Of course I believe in you and the master," Jiang Tong smiled at Chen Junming, "I'm not staying here tonight, but I ordered a meal before. If Mr. Chen doesn't mind, you can stay for dinner before leaving."

"Great, I've been waiting for the opportunity to have dinner with you." Chen Junming was distracted and sent the wizard who had completed his "mission" away.

Chen Junming felt that the wizard did not do a good job, but he knew the wizard's strength. If the wizard said there were no ghosts here, then there really were no ghosts, and he was not afraid at all.

Shi Xi and Jiang Tong brought the midnight snack they had ordered to the table. The lights in the living room were turned off, leaving only two night lights in the restaurant, which created a nice atmosphere.

Jiang Tong opened the casserole, and the unique aroma of seafood porridge instantly spread. She filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Chen Junming: "Mr. Chen, please."

Chen Junming felt something touch his ankle. He thought it was Jiang Tong flirting with him, and his smile became meaningful: "Do we have to be so distant? I've said before that I hope you can just call me by my name."

"Haha, that's not appropriate." Jiang Tong left the table and went to the refrigerator to get some juice: "Does anyone want some juice?"

"I want it." Shi Xi walked towards Jiang Tong with the cup.

Chen Junming thought Jiang Tong was shy and wanted to say something, but he felt something touching his ankle again!

He was the only one left at the table, and the one who was "flirting" with him was certainly not Jiang Tong! Chen Junming instantly broke out in a cold sweat because he felt... a cold hand holding his ankle!
