The building is called "Tengfei Building". After Chi Shen typed these words in the search box on his mobile phone, the property information popped up.
He quickly scanned the information and then stopped at a forum title.
[The 14th floor of Tengfei Building is haunted, does anyone know? 】
There are also some posts pushed below, such as "Brothers, don't take an online taxi alone in the middle of the night" and "An eyewitness account of the white shadow on the riverside of Gangcheng."
This is a section of the forum dedicated to supernatural events. In the past, Chi Shen would think that these stories were made up by netizens who had nothing better to do to scare people. But now, it is different.
Chi Shen clicked in.
He found a shady place, and a dark figure emerged from his shadow, slowly condensing into a young man in a suit and glasses. Ji Xingchen stood beside him, looking at his phone with him.
People passing by would only be curious about why this handsome young man was standing here without moving. They couldn't see Ji Xingchen, but they just took a few glances and left. Everyone had their own things to do and didn't have time to stop for others.
The poster's name is "What to Eat Today", and the first post is also very simple:
[I heard that several of them have resigned. They had only been employed for a short time. They left in a mysterious way. It didn’t look like they were resigning, but running for their lives.]
There were some uninteresting replies at the end. I quickly skimmed through them and soon found something useful. A person named "心平和氣不怒" posted:
[There is indeed a problem on the 14th floor. There is a game company there called Ledao Culture, which makes horror games. I suspect they have researched some kind of evil magic. There must be something dirty on the 14th floor.
I live downstairs from their building and often hear strange noises coming from upstairs, like dragging chairs, frantic running, or heavy objects falling to the ground. These are all normal. If you don't know, you might think they are renovating.
The scariest thing is that when I first arrived, I couldn’t find my stapler, so I went to borrow one from them. Later, I encountered a lot of strange things.
First, the things next to me were moved. Then, when I left with the key, I came back to find that the locked cabinet was opened. A cup of water was inexplicably knocked over, and there was a voice calling my name suddenly when I was working overtime.
I can't sleep well now. As soon as I close my eyes, I feel like someone is walking around in the living room, but when I turn on the light, there's no one there. I just went to the 14th floor to borrow a stapler, is that a big deal? 】
Many people posted comments questioning this, but the moderator did not argue with them. He only responded to some comments that advised him to go and worship Buddha.
[Thanks for your concern. I have prayed to Guanyin but it didn’t work. My friend recommended a master to me. He is said to be from an old family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. I am going to give it a try.]
After that, there were some useless comments. After reading them, Chi Shen looked at Ji Xingchen.
Ji Xingchen said: "You can take a look at the signboard information. If people keep leaving, they should be recruiting."
Chi Shen nodded, quickly registered a forum account, and replied "Be calm and not angry": [It is recommended to call the police. 】
After replying, he switched to the signature website and quickly found the signature information of Ledao Culture. This is a new game company that is currently working on a new horror game project, and every department needs people.
Horror games...
Chi Shen suddenly laughed. This can be considered a match between the two professions, right?
He played a real death game full of ghosts and monsters, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a professional when it comes to making horror games, right?
"Help me revise my resume." Chi Shen looked at Ji Xingchen with a smile.
Ji Xingchen nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."
Chi Shen had just decided on the direction of his job search and returned home happily. On the other side, Bai Ran was leaving the Bai family's main residence with a look of anger on his face.
Just now Bai Ximing called him over and asked him if he knew why He Chao went to the old house.
He just said that he didn't know, and admitted that he was the one who brought Chi Shen to the old house because Chi Shen really wanted to return to the Bai family and he wanted to give him a chance.
Bai Ran thought his answer was perfect, with no flaws in his expression or actions, and he was his usual well-behaved and obedient self.
But Bai Ximing still gave a meaningful smile.
He felt that the smile was extremely eye-catching and made him panic.
He Chao died, which was something he had never expected. If this matter was traced back to him, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He has to prepare early.
Taking the bleeding finger away from between his teeth, Bai Ran sneered. Soon, he put on a harmless expression and knocked on Lu Xiangyang's door.
Seeing Bai Ran appear, Lu Xiangyang's expression was very pleasantly surprised. He quickly asked, "What did Uncle Bai say? Did any dirty things follow me back?"
Bai Ran shook his head and looked at Lu Xiangyang: "Nothing is entangled with you."
“How could it be?” Lu Xiangyang’s expression twisted for a moment. “I clearly dreamed about it the whole afternoon. No, the whole day. The boy in the shroud wanted to play hide-and-seek with me. It followed me back! It followed me back!”
"He was reduced to ashes," Bai Ran said, "You are just having a nightmare."
"How is it possible!" Lu Xiangyang's voice gradually became crazy, "I know that I am haunted by a ghost. Don't lie to me. Uncle Bai will save me, right?"
Bai Ran looked at Lu Xiangyang with disdain and pity. He was already impatient. He raised his hand and pressed Lu Xiangyang's shoulder. He looked into his eyes and asked him word by word: "Did you put the sachet in Chi Shen's room? Answer me, and I will ask my father to help you."
Lu Xiangyang's scattered eyes slowly came back to his senses, and he said slowly: "Put it in."
Bai Ran lowered his eyes and continued to ask: "If someone asked you why He Chao went to the old house, how would you answer?"
Lu Xiangyang said slowly: "We must prevent that Chi from dying so quickly, because you said that he wanted to take your position..."
Bai Ran let go of Lu Xiangyang's shoulders and let him sit dejectedly on the bed.
"You are indeed entangled," Bai Ran stood up from the bed with a cold smile on his lips, "Your death will become extremely valuable."
Lu Xiangyang repeated blankly: "Is it valuable?"
Bai Ran had already left the room and closed the door.
Lu Xiangyang lowered his head to look at the bed. There was a translucent bead left by Bai Ran on the bed, and there seemed to be a piece of bone sealed inside it.
He saw his own reflection in the bead.
The reflection quickly expanded, and he suddenly realized that the reflection looked nothing like himself - he remembered what it was, it was the wax beads that Bai Ran used to lure ghosts.
The wax beads melted quickly, and the ghost in the reflection was right behind him. Its lips opened as if cracked, and it took Lu Xiangyang in completely.
There were chewing sounds coming from inside the door.
Bai Ran left Lu Xiangyang's house at a leisurely pace, his face still gentle and respectful.
Chi Shen won't live long, he sneered in his heart. The sachet has been put in. Even if he is lucky, he will end up being eaten by evil spirits in three days. He knows very well how terrible the old house is.
and……
Even without the sachet, the old ghost from the Bai family could move freely for one night every once in a while. He didn't believe that Chi Shen could survive in the hands of the old ghost.
Thinking of this, Bai Ran gritted his teeth secretly. It was because on the third day of living in the old house, he encountered the old ghost of the Bai family who was able to move freely, which forced him to leave early. If he could calculate the time well and stay for a month, he would not have to worry about the position of patriarch now!
It's all his bad luck.
In the Bai family’s old house, Chi Shen was playing games.
After Ji Xingchen revised his resume and submitted it, they just got home and received a call from Ledao Culture, hoping that Chi Shen could go for an interview the next day. The call was so fast that it seemed as if Chi Shen would have run away if he was slower. Of course, Chi Shen happily made an appointment with the HR department for the interview and repeatedly assured that he would go and would definitely not break the appointment.
Because he was going to have an interview at Ledao Culture, Ji Xingchen gave him some preparations, such as playing games that Ledao Culture had previously released.
Chi Shen did some research and found out that Ledao Culture was a newly established game studio that had never released any games. However, their chief planner had once independently produced a pixel-style horror game, which became a minor hit. It was precisely because of this pixel-style game that he was able to attract investment and open his own game studio.
This game has a mobile version, so Chi Shen downloaded it and started playing. While he was playing the game, Ji Xingchen was watching from the side without saying a word. However, the female ghost in red seemed very active, and kept circling around the two of them.
"Still alive!" The red-clothed female ghost looked around Ji Xingchen as if she had discovered something incredible, "Still alive! Still alive!"
Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses, looking a little uncomfortable. He pushed the red-clothed female ghost away a little and coughed dryly: "Well, I'm still alive."
The red-clothed female ghost looked at Chi Shen's shadow again. This time she didn't dare to try again. She just watched from a distance and stretched out her only hand to pull Ji Xingchen: "If you are afraid, you will die."
Even with this kind of conversation, Ji Xingchen understood it, and he said, "It's very comfortable inside."
The red-dressed female ghost shook her head wildly: "You will die!"
Ji Xingchen didn't argue with her: "You will die if you go in."
The red-clothed female ghost was satisfied and muttered happily: "I will die, in the shadow, I will die!"
There were also noisy sounds outside the room, as if many ghosts had gathered here tonight. There were constant sounds of footsteps, singing, dripping water, and rolling marbles, but they were all outside the house. The house was still peaceful, with only the sounds of Chi Shen playing games and the noisy female ghost in red.
Although it was a bit noisy, Chi Shen was already used to concentrating in such an environment, so he was still concentrating on playing the game.
A cold wind blew in the room, and the female ghost in red suddenly became silent. She turned her head stiffly and looked towards the door.
There was complete silence outside the door, and all those strange noises disappeared.
Rows of red candles slowly lit up, and the sudden light illuminated the dark road outside the door.
A bride in a red wedding dress walked slowly towards them from the other side of the red candles, holding a tablet in her hand. There was a big hole on her chest, and her red veil was stained with blood, which swayed slightly as she walked, and the thick, fishy blood dripped onto the ground.
"Someone wants to harm you." The bride in the wedding dress stopped at the door of Chi Shen's bedroom. She raised her hand and held a small sachet in her pale fingers wearing golden gloves.
