The sky was turning pale, Chi Shen yawned, and looked at Yuan Yiping vaguely with half-closed eyes.
Is it him?
Yuan Yiping immediately rejected this idea.
Although the Bai family kept it a secret, Yuan Yiping, as a member of the Yuan family, also heard some things about Chi Shen. He knew that the Bai family did not recognize this person because he had no talent, and he certainly could not do such a thing as nailing the evil spirit to the pillar.
But the depth of the pool was indeed different from what he had imagined.
According to the rules of the underworld that Yuan Yiping despised, people like them would not call the police when they encountered ghosts, but would think of solving the problem themselves or finding someone else to solve it.
Chi Shen had already stepped half a foot into this door. He chose to call the police, so he must have been scared.
He was prepared to see a flustered young man from the beginning, and even had a plan for psychological counseling ready. He didn't expect that when he really met Chi Shen, he would be so calm.
Lu Xiangyang grew up in the Bai family and was related to the family. He had seen many ghosts and dead people. Even so, he vomited bitterly when he saw He Chao's miserable appearance. However, this abandoned child of the Bai family acted as if nothing had happened.
He is too weak now.
Yuan Yiping thought so.
If he could survive in the Bai family, he would definitely achieve great things in the future, but... it's a pity that he has no talent.
There was a hint of regret in Yuan Yiping's eyes.
Chi Shen thought Yuan Yiping wanted to say something, but the man just glanced at him and that was it.
Turning around slowly, Chi Shen walked towards his room. He was sleepy.
"Wait." Yuan Yiping suddenly called out, stopping him, "Where are you going?"
If he encounters any difficulties, I can help him. It is too dangerous for an ordinary person to live alone in this haunted house.
"Sleep." Chi Shen turned around and replied lazily, "Is there anything else you need my cooperation in investigating?"
Just when Mr. He was crying, he had already finished taking notes on the scene.
"Leave me your phone number." Yuan Yiping walked over. "If you are in danger, you can contact me directly. It will be faster than calling the police."
Chi Shen nodded and exchanged phone numbers with Yuan Yiping.
"You'd better move out." After saving the number, Yuan Yiping said kindly, "It's not safe here."
Chi Shen smiled at this time. He looked at Lu Xiangyang who was looking over here secretly and said, "I think it's pretty good here. I'm used to living here and I have a lot of friends to keep me company."
Lu Xiangyang immediately shrank back and dared not look at him again.
Who is here? Is there any friend with him? Yuan Yiping sighed in his heart, thinking that he was just a young man showing off. He just told him to be more careful. Then he went back to collect He Chao's body with his colleagues. Although the case was clear, they still had to take the body back and analyze it to see if there was any mistake before closing the case.
Beside them, Old He raised his head, looked at Chi Shen's back, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Why did his grandson die but this man was fine?
Chi Shen finally lay down on the bed. Although the bed board was very hard and the room was filled with a musty and damp smell, he didn't care. A place where he could have a good sleep was a good place.
Originally, he thought that after visiting all the new friends in the house, he would tell them not to disturb his rest and then go to bed.
But... life always has surprises.
Chi Shen has experienced many accidents, so he didn't take this little accident seriously.
It’s just that the information I got from Lu Xiangyang was a bit strange.
Chi Shen didn't do anything to Lu Xiangyang. He just took Lu Xiangyang to He Chao's body, and the pale-faced young man told him everything.
He Chao and Lu Xiangyang were both instructed by Bai Ran to come to this old house to find him. In order to prevent him from dying so quickly, they let the ghosts here torture him a little longer.
He Chao had been to this old house before and knew what was inside, so He Chao led the way and Lu Xiangyang followed.
But the so-called visit to the old house was just following the adults in to take a look, and he had not actually come into contact with the ghosts in the old house. However, even such a person dared to pat his chest and assure Bai Ran that he was doing things safely.
Chi Shen did pay attention to locking the door before visiting his friends, but He Chao stole his grandfather's key and even found a way to crack the door's formation, so he entered the old house.
There was actually a formation set up at the gate of the Bai family's old house to prevent ordinary people from approaching. Chi Shen was able to come in with the permission of the gatekeeper.
Hearing this, Chi Shen felt that these people had planned a lot and were very determined in order to murder him.
Chi Shen was not surprised as to why two people with such weak strength would come to this haunted house in the middle of the night.
He already knew the answer when he used empathy on the little boy in the shroud.
He Chao actually had some skills. At the beginning, he underestimated his enemy and had his arms and eyes cut off by the little boy in shrouds. Later, he almost found an opportunity to kill the little boy in shrouds while hiding, but... the little boy in shrouds was actually a hundred-year-old ghost, and He Chao had lost his eyes and arms at the beginning, so naturally he could not win.
Chi Shen took out a talisman from his pocket, and then took out a small triangular cloth bag with the word "Bai" written on it.
This is what He Chao and Lu Xiangyang rely on to enter and exit this old house.
Chi Shen waved his hand, and the talisman paper ignited without wind, quickly turning into ashes and falling to the ground. He threw the small cloth bag beside the bed, and then he closed his eyes.
Bai Ran...
Bai Family...
He found that he no longer cared about Bai Ran wanting to kill him.
After all, there are too many people who want him dead, including some who he had personally sent back to the real world. Bai Ran can't even be ranked among them.
It’s just that Bai Ran’s reaction was a bit strange. He was denied by the Bai family and could not threaten Bai Ran’s position at all. Bai Ran came to kill him at this time, which was more like a desperate move.
…
Chi Shen slept until the afternoon and was awakened by the clanging sound in the room.
He pressed his throbbing temples to get up, and saw the female ghost in red rummaging through the drawers. She flipped everything out of the drawer with one hand, and then found a pair of scissors in the drawer with satisfaction.
Then, Chi Shen watched her jump happily and throw the scissors into the trash can, and then happily started rummaging through the drawers.
Chi Shen: "..."
Forget it, mortals cannot understand the happiness of ghosts. He looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. It was time to get up. He had other important things to do.
Yesterday, he reviewed his current situation before entering the death game and discovered a very serious fact.
He has no money.
Although his adoptive parents never gave him money after he became an adult, he successfully completed college by working part-time and receiving scholarships. He even saved a little money when he graduated and got a job at a good company through campus recruitment. By the time people learned that he was actually the real young master of the Bai family, he already had a five-digit savings.
However, on the first day he arrived in the city where the Bai family lived, he lost all his money because he hit an old man while riding his bike. Now he only has a few hundred dollars on him.
And because he wanted to return to the Bai family, and his job was in another place, he quit his job before coming back.
Now that he thought about it, there was something strange about hitting the old man, but that was not the point. The point was that he no longer planned to go back to the Bai family, and he had to find a job.
Chi Shen washed his face, took out some biscuits from his suitcase and started eating them, then opened his phone and started looking at job information.
He used to work in a big company and did a good job. It should be easy for him to find a job with such a resume... No, what was his previous job?
Chi Shen thought for a while before remembering, oh, a programmer.
Does he still remember how to write the code?
With his eyes empty, Chi Shen sat quietly for three minutes. Oh, he couldn't be a programmer anymore.
This cannot be blamed on him. The concept of time in the death game is vague. Even if he tried hard to remember, he could only roughly remember that he had gone through several decades, or perhaps hundreds of years. It was normal to forget some knowledge that was no longer needed during such a long period of time.
So what kind of job can he do now?
Chi Shen holds his chin with one hand while looking at his phone. Can he find someone with a similar professional background?
——
In Lu Xiangyang's room.
After returning from the Bai family's old house, Lu Xiangyang has been in a coma. Several waves of people came one after another, some from the Bai family and some from the He family, but he did not wake up.
Lu Xiangyang finally woke up from a nightmare in the afternoon. He sat up on the bed with cold sweat on his forehead and looked around subconsciously.
Then he saw a glass of water being handed to him, and looking in the direction of the hand handing the water, he suddenly became quiet.
It was Bai Ran who handed him the water.
Bai Ran was sitting beside his bed, looking at him with concern, and asked, "How do you feel?"
The tone was so warm that Lu Xiangyang felt his body, which was covered with cold sweat, warm up. He quickly took the cup of water, drank it in big gulps, and then said, "Master, I'm sorry, we didn't do what you asked us to do."
Bai Ran waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine, and then asked, "Chi Shen is not dead?"
Hearing this name, Lu Xiangyang shrank back, covered his head with his hands in fear and said, "No, no, he is still alive, and he said...he said..."
"What did he say?" Bai Ran grabbed his hand and looked straight into Lu Xiangyang's eyes.
Lu Xiangyang's eyes were filled with horror, and he said softly, "He said he was having a great time, and had many friends with him."
Bai Ran was stunned, his face turned pale for a while, and then he asked Lu Xiangyang again: "Did he really say that?"
Lu Xiangyang didn't dare to look up, he just nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes!"
——
After losing his professional skills, Chi Shen discovered another serious problem.
Now, it seems that he gets along more normally with ghosts than with people.
After living on the brink of death and among ghosts for a hundred years, can he really go to work normally?
Chi Shen felt that he could still be rescued.
So he caught the red-dressed female ghost running around the house and asked her a question: "Are there any ghosts here that are office workers who died recently and have work experience?"
The red-clothed female ghost was caught by him, and her whole body froze. She immediately covered her mouth with one hand. When she heard Chi Shen ask her such a question, she thought about it for a while, and then nodded seriously: "Yes."
