The young man at the door groaned when he was hit, and subconsciously reached out to hug the messy black hair that hit him.
A chilly aura emanated from his hands, and he felt as if he was holding an ice cube the size of a basketball. However, it was different from an ice cube in that the chilly feeling seemed to penetrate into his bones and soak his skin and flesh.
The young man never expected that he could kill the person without opening the door. He froze, and his neck, like one rusted, moved down little by little as he looked at the cold black object in his hand.
The long black hair blocked the ghost's face, revealing only the bloodshot eyeballs, which stared at him intently as if seeing the most juicy prey. He soon noticed that the reason why this ghost moved so quickly and rushed over like a ball was because she had no part below the shoulders, only a head and arms!
Her pale, dry arms had sleeves made of red cloth, and she was wearing red clothes.
He knew that the one wearing red was the most ferocious ghost!
The young man's hands trembled, he let out a loud scream of fear, immediately dropped the red-clothed female ghost in his hand, and fell to the ground. The box in his hand fell to the ground, and the wax beads sealing the bones scattered all over the floor.
The female ghost in red was also very depressed. She thought she would have candy to eat again today. Even during the day, when she really didn't want to move, she ran out when she heard footsteps. Unexpectedly, the person who came was not the one who chopped her body!
Her blood-red nails swelled up, and her eyes rolled back, revealing only the whites of her eyes. She crawled on the ground towards the young man, her long black hair dragging behind her, and there was no body under the hair.
She wanted to teach a lesson to this person who came to disturb her for no reason and made her wait in vain!
The horrifying sight of seeing a ghost in broad daylight frightened the young man so much that he jumped up from the ground again. He used his hands and feet to crawl forward. As long as he could crawl under the sunlight, he would be safe!
The afternoon sun stretched the shadow of the eaves very long. He could clearly walk out of the eaves in a few steps, but the sunlight was several meters away from him. He stumbled for several steps, but was too nervous and tripped over the weeds and fell down.
A cold hand grabbed his ankle, and the chill from it seemed enough to freeze his entire calf off.
It’s over. This was the first thought that came to the young man’s mind.
The cold breath slowly moved upwards, but suddenly stopped when it reached the calf. The young man then dared to slowly turn his stiff neck to look at the female ghost in red.
The red-clothed female ghost seemed to be attracted by something, and her head inside a mass of black hair turned towards the door of Chi Shen's room.
The young man looked over there and saw reddish candles scattered on the ground.
"Smells good." He heard the ghost girl mutter this. Her cold hands slowly loosened his ankles and she turned to crawl towards the door. She even made a puzzled sound, "Sugar?"
The moment the red-clothed female ghost let go, the young man immediately crawled forward. He didn't even think about standing up. He quickly crawled into the sunlight and only then did he look at the red-clothed female ghost after surviving the disaster.
In fact, he was not afraid of the ghosts in the old house before. As someone Bai Ran could trust, he knew very well that as long as he had the Bai family amulet, he could enter and leave the Bai family old house freely. Of course, places like Bai Wan's side courtyard were not allowed. This free entry and exit only referred to ordinary places like the front yard.
But now it's different.
From the moment Bai Ran was carried out from here with his eyes open, everything in this old house changed.
He knew very well that if the amulet could not protect him, any evil spirit living here could tear him to pieces, so he was so afraid.
Standing in the sun, he clearly saw the female ghost in red slowly crawling towards the wax beads scattered on the ground. Out of curiosity, she picked up a bead and tasted it.
The female ghost in red licked the wax bead with her tongue, then threw it away with some disgust, but soon picked up another one. The wax bead was half melted in her hand, revealing the bone inside.
The aroma of the bones seemed to attract her, and she broke up the remaining wax and ate the bones.
Then she picked up the second bead, which did not melt, but it didn't matter, she peeled the candle herself and ate the bones inside.
Then the third, the fourth...
Soon, there were not many wax beads left. The female ghost in red lay on the ground, peeling one and eating the bone as if she were eating peanuts, then moving on to another, eating happily. The young man standing at the door actually thought she was eating very happily, and his mood subtly improved a little.
The young man was stunned with his slightly raised mouth corners. So why should he be happy watching a ghost eating? Is this some kind of ghost eating show?
Realizing this, the young man left immediately. When he was almost out of sight of the entrance to Chi Shen, he looked back and found that the female ghost in red had peeled off and eaten all the wax beads. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the female ghost in red had grown a little bit taller.
The red-clothed female ghost who had eaten all the wax beads turned to look at him, her mouth corners raised high, almost to her ears, revealing a very scary smile, her eyes staring straight at him, as if she was expecting him to deliver her to his door as dinner.
The young man was so scared that he ran out of the old house immediately. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he ran to the opposite side of the old house. He lowered his head to check the ankle that was grabbed by the red-clothed female ghost, and there were five dark blue fingerprints left there.
At this time, the phone rang again. The young man picked it up and heard Bai Ran's voice on the other end: "Hello, are you ready?"
He felt that Bai Ran's tone was very strange. He would not have spoken to him in this tone before. He frowned and said, "It's done, but there was a problem. All the beads were eaten by a female ghost."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Bai Ran said, "The remaining few I gave you are scattered at the door. Uncle and his men should be there tonight. Be careful not to get eaten again this time."
Bai Ran's cold and commanding tone made him a little angry, and he said coldly: "Okay."

At this time, Chi Shen was looking for the murderer.
He looked at both sides of the intersection. Behind him was a fenced-off construction site where a green belt was being built, and in front of him was an already built green belt. This intersection was really empty with nothing in it. There was only a convenience store open diagonally opposite.
In the Death Game, he learned many ways to track ghosts, and he could use the residual negative energy left by ghosts to track ghosts. However, the supernatural events here had occurred ten days ago. Even if there was negative energy, it had long since dissipated, making it difficult to find clues.
But it doesn’t matter. Chi Shen has the appearance of the ghost, so he just needs to find a witness to ask.
Although he only had one arm and was completely black, his features were still very obvious.
Looking around the intersection, Chi Shen looked at the only convenience store that was open. That intersection was also the only intersection with buildings.
"Do me a favor," Chi Shen turned his head and looked over there, saying softly, "Help me see if there are any ghosts hiding nearby."
Wandering souls like Ji Xingchen were extremely easy to be ignored because their yin energy was too weak, and this was the appearance of most ghosts, so he decided to leave it to professional personnel.
Ji Xingchen responded, “Wait until the clouds cover the sun.”
The ghost face chirped, "I'm good at this! I'll do it! I'm really good. You know, I can't even remember how many years it has been since I had only one face. In order to avoid those ghost-eating ghosts, I hang out with wandering souls every day. They are so gentle! In this area, I can catch ten people for you!"
Ji Xingchen in the shadow pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses staring at the ghost face in silence.
After Gui Lian finished speaking, Chi Shen smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you two."
"It's not a problem!" Ghost Face said immediately, "How can I say it's a problem? It's just that if... this matter is resolved..."
Listening to Gui Lian's hesitant speech, Chi Shen lowered his head and looked at him: "You go ahead."
Ji Xingchen fell into deep thought, and then he said, "You want to leave?"
"No!" Ghost Face said immediately, and then he hesitated again. If he had hands, he would probably take out his fingers, but unfortunately he didn't have any. At this moment, he could only curl himself up shyly and whispered: "Can I have some benefits? For example, eat something...or something."
Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses again, sank into the shadows, and stopped talking.
"I thought you didn't like it." Chi Shen said with a smile.
"I'm not, I didn't!" Ghost Face immediately expressed his feelings. Thinking of what he ate last night, he almost shed tears. "It's just that I ate it for the first time. I was so happy that I said those words, really!"
The clouds moved with the wind. Chi Shen looked at the sky. The drifting clouds blocked the sun. He said, "You go ahead."
Gui Lian immediately rushed out, but Ji Xingchen did not move for a while.
Chi Shen: “Aren’t you going?”
Ji Xingchen said, "He's too noisy. I'm going to the construction site."
After saying that, Ji Xingchen entered the construction site behind Chi Shen without saying anything. He stood beside the street and began to reconstruct the situation at that time.
Even without using ghosts, he has his own solution.
That day, the old lady was standing in his position. I rode my bike from the left, and the ghost appeared behind the old lady...
The ghost came out of the construction site. What the ghost did did not seem to be a grudge against him, but more like a grudge against the old lady. But he went to see it today, and the old lady's family was not entangled by the ghost, nor did they do anything that would damage their virtue. During the conversation, he also learned that no one he knew had died recently.
Then it was most likely directed at him. Before entering the old house, he had never thought that this matter would be related to the Bai family, but after coming out of the old house, he gradually understood everything.
The image of the ghost gradually took shape in his mind, the man with the missing arm, the construction site, and the Bai family—
"I found something strange at the construction site."
Ji Xingchen's voice soon rang out. Chi Shen was about to say something when suddenly a man on a bicycle came over from the left. He was holding a box in his hand and screamed in fear: "Blood red! Evil ghost!"
Chi Shen flipped his hand and a small mirror fell into his hand.
The man suddenly pressed the brakes and asked in confusion: "Hey, why did the Yin Qi sensing disappear?"
He looked up and around in confusion, and when he saw Chi Shen, he suddenly said, "Is the Bai family's real young master?"
Chi Shen smiled at him. He had seen this man before. When Yuan Yiping came to deal with the ghosts in Ledao Culture that day, this man came up with Yuan Yiping. He was Yuan Yiping's subordinate.
