Just when Chi Shen figured out what to do with the main storyline and happily started his work, the Bai family finally started to move.
Bai Ran's room was still filthy and smelled foul, but he seemed unaware of it and continued to sit on the bed wrapped in the quilt. The sunlight shone in from the window and fell on his face, and he immediately pulled the sheets to cover his face.
"Master Ran?" The cleaning lady opened the door to Bai Ran's room and took a step back due to the stench in the room. She then asked softly, "Are you awake, Master Ran?"
"Awake." Bai Ran spoke in a hoarse voice. He slowly raised his head. His originally spoiled fair face was now extremely haggard, with traces of tears still on his face.
"Then shall I come in and clean the room?" Auntie asked again.
Bai Ran didn't answer, so the aunt took it as his consent, came in to clean up the garbage on the floor, and opened the window to ventilate.
"Close it." Bai Ran suddenly trembled and shouted immediately.
The aunt had no choice but to close the door for him. When she turned around, she saw that Bai Ran seemed to be afraid of the cold wind and had hidden aside.
As a domestic worker of the Bai family, Auntie already knew what to ask and what not to ask, so she said nothing, only said: "Second Master called you to wake up."
Bai Ran seemed not to be listening to her. He looked around the room with trembling pupils. After a while, he said, "Okay."
In the living room, Bai Hengqing woke up early in the morning. He had nightmares all night and did not get a good rest.
He didn't do anything idle after getting up. He immediately called someone to ask about Mr. He's matter.
He Lianhai can be said to have served the Bai family all his life. He grew up in the Bai family since he was a child, and later became the gatekeeper of the old house. He guarded the old house for decades, but he disappeared at the critical moment last night. This made Bai Hengqing very confused. No matter whether He Lao was dead or alive, he had to find this person.
Early this morning, someone came to tell Bai Hengqing and He Lianhai the news.
Last night they couldn't find any trace of Mr. He and couldn't contact him, so at Bai Ximing's instruction, they called the police directly.
Although the Bai family is wealthy and powerful, they are not omnipresent in Hong Kong City. For things like finding people, they still have to rely on the police.
After receiving the alarm, the Special Security Bureau attached great importance to it. The Special Security Bureau was established with the support of various families that wandered between Yin and Yang. Although the Bai family refused to join the Special Security Bureau, the Special Security Bureau still attached great importance to the Bai family. So as soon as they received the alarm, they immediately started to follow the procedure to check the surveillance near the old house to find the whereabouts of He Lianhai.
The Special Security Bureau was very efficient and found He Lianhai's whereabouts overnight. They also sent over the video and all of He Lianhai's activities.
When Bai Ran entered the living room, he saw Bai Hengqing watching the surveillance video of Mr. He. Two young men from the Bai family were sitting next to him. They opened the computer and showed Bai Hengqing what Mr. He had done last night.
The first surveillance video was of a bus station. He seemed to be escaping from someone, or he saw something very scary, and he ran to the bus station in panic. A taxi happened to pass by and was stopped by He. He stood outside the taxi for a while but did not get in. After the taxi left, he began to look around again, and finally got on a bus to the city.
Later, there were several surveillance videos in the urban area. After getting off the bus, Mr. He walked to crowded places, so he appeared in the camera many times. The last time he appeared was at the train station. Mr. He bought a ticket to the capital and left overnight.
"He ran away?" Bai Hengqing was stunned after seeing the end. He was prepared to see Mr. He's body exposed in the wilderness, but the investigation results told him that this person ran away?
He immediately informed Bai Ximing about this matter. Bai Ximing did not sleep well last night. He came to the living room with a heavy heart and received such news.
"Why did he run away?" Bai Ximing asked curiously, "What strange thing happened in the old house last night?"
They didn't expect that a man who had worked hard for the Bai family for decades would just run away without leaving any news. What happened?
"Bai Wan is out," Bai Hengqing sighed, but he felt something was wrong. He wondered, "Even if Bai Wan is out, why did he leave Hong Kong? Did he do anything to Bai Wan?"
Bai Ximing was shocked: "Bai Wan?!"
When Bai Ran, who was next to them, heard the name, he began to tremble violently and obviously wanted to run away. Someone next to him immediately pinned him down on the sofa.
"No problem."
Bai Hengqing thought of Chi Shen, who called Bai Wan brother and sister in the old house, and a chill immediately ran down his back. The image of Chi Shen walking towards him with the wedding dress ghost seemed to be still before his eyes. He tried his best to suppress the chill that made his legs weak, but his voice was still trembling: "She shouldn't come out to find us for a while, yes, she won't come out. We just need to wait for her anger to subside during this period of time, and then find a chance to seal her up. If it doesn't work, find some people to feed her, control her first, and then make long-term plans."
"No!" Bai Ran screamed, "She came to see me, she came to see me!"
Bai Ximing gave Bai Ran a reproachful look. Bai Ran immediately dared not speak and closed his mouth, but he was still trembling.
Bai Hengqing simply ignored it. Last night he thought Bai Ran was so powerful that he could subdue Bai Wan, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this. The one who saved him was Chi Shen.
Thinking of this, Bai Hengqing felt a little strange again. Although Chi Shen came here with a fierce ghost last night and even spoke rudely to the ancestor of the Bai family, he once thought that he would die here, but he didn't expect that he survived.
It was Chi Shen who saved him.
After taking a sip of hot tea to dispel some of the chill, Bai Hengqing suddenly felt that Chi Shen's method was not wrong. Although some people had tried to make friends with ghosts before, those people had failed, but Chi Shen succeeded.
Bai Hengqing calmed himself down and looked at the distraught Bai Ran, thinking that maybe he could take Chi Shen over to have a look.
Bai Ran, who has been trained as the future head of the Bai family, is so useless when facing evil spirits. However, Chi Shen can deal with evil spirits calmly. Perhaps he is a promising talent.
As for the truth about the telephone ghost... Bai Hengqing smiled and kept it secret as a gift to this young man.
In the Tengfei Building.
Chi Shen, who had no idea that a gift had been forced upon him, was writing the main plot. Soon, he typed the last character with satisfaction, and happily printed it out to show Li Xu.
"Wait a minute," Ma Caijin called out to Chi Shen when he saw him about to enter the office, "Don't be impatient."
Chi Shen turned to look at him: "Mr. Li is not here?"
"No," Ma Caijin looked at him like an elder brother, "I'll help you take a look. If you have any questions, I'll tell you first, so you don't get scolded when you go in."
Chi Shen took a look at the interface of the Snake game on Ma Caijin's computer and the star puzzle on the table, and said, "Brother Ma, don't you have anything to do?"
Ma Caijin: "... Just know it, don't say it out loud."
Chi Shen handed over what he had written: "Then why do you still take the initiative to work overtime."
"To give the boss a good impression. Well, let me stop talking. Let me take a look for you first." Ma Caijin opened the main story of Chi Shen.
Ten minutes later, Ma Caijin frowned: "You..."
Chi Shen humbly asked for advice: "Any questions?"
Ma Caijin thought about it for a long time and found a more appropriate excuse: "I think it is more suitable to make fighting games."
How can you kill your way through all the scenes in a horror game? What's the point of horror? Do ghosts run away in fear when they see the protagonist?
"Isn't it scary?" Chi Shen asked.
Ma Caijin said earnestly: "If the protagonist can kill all the enemies, then the players will just think that they are super powerful and have nothing to fear, and then the selling point of horror games will be gone."
"No way," Chi Shen said, "They all look super scared."
Ma Caijin asked doubtfully: "Who are they?"
Chi Shen: "Ghost."
Ma Caijin: ...Do you have any doubts about your own definition?
Although Ma Caijin thought it was not okay, Chi Shen still insisted on showing it to Li Xu. After all, he was the one who confirmed that he had encountered a ghost and called the police. He felt that Li Xu must understand the selling point of the main plot of his story.
Ma Caijin did not force him and went into Li Xu's office with him. Since he had nothing to do, he went to see what was going on.
The main plot written by Chi Shen was only a few pages long, and he only briefly wrote about each BOSS and what the floral skirt experienced from the main perspective. Li Xu quickly finished reading it. He pulled his collar and nodded as Ma Caijin was about to comfort Chi Shen: "Not bad."
Ma Caijin:……?
Chi Shen also became happy. It seemed that his boss understood him best.
Li Xu added: "It provides me with another way of thinking. How come I have never thought of this direction?"
Ma Caijin looked confused: "Boss, I think you can reconsider it."
Turning a horror game into a fighting game or something... Don't do that!
"Chi Shen, please write in detail what each boss did and what kind of conversations the protagonist had with them. Just give it to me next Friday." Li Xu's frown seemed to have eased a lot. He praised, "Xiao Ma, your thinking is limited. Newcomers like Chi Shen are more open-minded. Since he is in so much pain, the idea of helping him leave this world is also great, but it's too crude. Xiao Ma, please help him improve it with him."
Ma Caijin looked at Chi Shen even more confusedly, and Chi Shen gave him a companion smile.
Ma Caijin covered his face in pain, he always felt something was wrong.
After the two of them returned, Chi Shen looked at the time and it was four o'clock in the afternoon. He had been writing this main story for a whole day, and had referred to his own real experience. Now it seems that a story based on reality can indeed be more touching.
The two returned to the office, and Ma Caijin began to painfully think about how to change Chi Shen's main idea, while Chi Shen was also painfully thinking about another thing.
Chi Shen looked at his own shadow: "It's Friday."
His shadow moved slightly: "Yeah."
Chi Shen: "I don't want to work overtime."
His shadow was silent for a moment: "Yeah."
Chi Shen: "I decided to solve the problem from the root."
Ji Xingchen emerged from the shadows and asked him calmly, "Which ghost do you want to bring over?"
Chi Shen picked up the cup of water, walked to the tea room, and said with a smile: "Use local materials."
He took a glass of water, then looked at the bottom of the cup. A pale ghost face slowly floated up. This was a ghost that followed Li Xu in today. As soon as it came in, it hid in the tea room.
The corners of the ghost face's mouth were raised high. The closer it was to the water surface, the higher the corners of its mouth raised, and the more terrifying it became.
The ghost face had floated to the surface of the water. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to swallow the person in front of him with a smile.
Chi Shen stretched out his hand and put it directly into the ghost face's throat. Under the ghost face's extremely shocked gaze, he pulled the ghost face out by the throat and asked kindly: "Hello, would you like to do me a favor?"
