As Gui Lian struggled hard but completely in vain, Chi Shen pressed him down on the table, then took out his cell phone and pressed the play button.
The moment the phone screen appeared, Ghost Face stopped making noise and stared at the phone screen intently. He was completely attracted. The corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing the terrifying and weird smile he showed when he first saw Chi Shen.
It was a scene of a person drowning, or a person's head being pressed repeatedly in the bathtub. The camera captured the brutality of the criminal pressing the head, as well as the person struggling and in pain underwater.
There is no doubt that this is what Ghost Face wanted to see. He liked to see people struggling in pain while dying in the water.
What Chi Shen found was a clip of highlights from an award-winning suspense film. In the clip, the person being held in the bathtub by the gangsters was a film queen who was said to have had experience with drowning.
Now it seems that this actress did have experience of drowning, so her performance was so realistic that the drowning face was immersed in it.
"Let him watch, we'll go visit some friends." Chi Shen looked at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and there were gorgeous clouds floating in the sky, but there was no sunshine. It was time for ghosts to come out and move around.
When Chi Shen found Bai Wan, Bai Wan was sitting on the roof, holding her own tablet and looking at the clouds.
Today's sunset was indeed very beautiful, but Bai Wan also missed the most brilliant moment, because the sun had not yet set, and she could not go out. Only when the sun completely set and only purple-gray and dark red clouds remained in the sky, could she sit on the roof.
This was also the first time that Bai Wan had seen the sunset in hundreds of years. Before, there were hungry ghosts guarding the door, and her door was covered with talismans, so she couldn't get out at all.
Chi Shen also went up to the roof. He sat with Bai Wan for a while and chatted with her. He asked Bai Wan if she wanted to go to the new home with him. Bai Wan happily agreed and asked Chi Shen to take her tablet away and she would follow.
When the last red cloud turned black, Chi Shen left the roof and prepared to visit his next friend.
At the same time, he was thinking about something. According to Yuan Yiping, if the obsession of evil spirits disappears, they will dissipate between heaven and earth. That night, Bai Wan caught her parents who made her extremely painful, and the bloody hole on her body disappeared. This should be because Bai Wan's obsession with her parents disappeared, so the pain of a big hole in her chest also disappeared.
As for why Bai Wan did not disappear, there must be something that made her miss the world, perhaps the hatred for her husband and sister, or perhaps something else.
Let’s find a chance to ask Bai Wan, Chi Shen thought about it and knocked on the door in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling inside the door, and then it became quiet. No one came to open the door, and no one invited Chi Shen to come in.
Chi Shen waited for a while and knocked on the door again, but there was still no response.
Chi Shen thought that this person might have social phobia, so he had to push the door open himself, pull out his friends who were hiding under the table and in the drawer, and ask them, but the answer he got was a crazy shake of the head.
"You really don't want to leave? Don't you want to experience modern society? It's completely different from here." Chi Shen asked in a friendly and polite manner while grabbing the two ghosts.
The two ghosts shook their heads frantically in his hands, one of their eyes almost popped out of its socket, trying their best to express their unwillingness to leave. Since they didn't want to leave, Chi Shen had no choice but to let them go with regret, stuffed them back into the drawer and under the table, and then went to visit other friends.
Chi Shen spent an entire night visiting the old house, but found that except Bai Wan and the people living in his own house, no one was willing to go with him. He even traveled across mountains and rivers to visit the people in the main house, but still received no response.
This made Chi Shen very frustrated. He thought he was very popular in the old house, but in the end only a few ghosts were willing to follow him.
However, Chi Shen's ability to withstand setbacks was very strong. In less than ten minutes, he had calmed down and went to see the progress of Gui Lian's salvation plan.
On the table, a mobile phone connected to a power bank was still playing the drowning scene, but the ghost face was nowhere to be seen.
Chi Shen laughed happily: "Has he been successfully saved?"
Looks like there's going to be something good tonight.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the red-clothed female ghost grinning as she grabbed a pale ghost face from behind the door and handed it to Chi Shen like a treasure: "He, ran away!"
Chi Shen touched his chin and thought: "Useless? Don't you like watching it? Why do you want to run away?"
The ghost face was caught by the red-dressed female ghost, and said with a sad face: "I feel like vomiting after watching too much. I used to let one person experience drowning in one night at most, and each time it didn't exceed half an hour. It took several months to find a person. Now I have to watch it for several hours at a time. It's so uncomfortable!"
Chi Shen automatically changed it. Ordinary people would get bored if they ate the same dish every day. It would be fine if there were more flavors. He thought about it again and said, "That might be too monotonous. I'll find more similar videos for you."
Chi Shen acted quickly. He found a dozen video clips before going to bed, arranged all the videos properly, and then pressed the loop playback button.
In order to prevent the ghost face from escaping again, Chi Shen instructed the red-clothed female ghost: "Help me watch him. Keep watching him. Don't give up on saving himself just because he is lazy. You have to tell him that a beautiful and painless tomorrow is waiting for him, and the boredom now is all worth it!"
The red-clothed female ghost excitedly agreed, but Ghost Face felt that this was a little wrong and muttered, "Am I taking the college entrance examination?"
Chi Shen said: "They are all major turning points in life. The college entrance examination is a turning point for people, and salvation is a turning point for ghosts. It makes no difference."
Ghost Face thought about it and said, "It seems to make sense."
After the arrangements were completed, Chi Shen went to sleep while Gui Lian continued to watch videos. In order not to disturb Chi Shen, Ji Xingchen put the two ghosts and the mobile phone in the cabinet, and asked the ghosts living in the cabinet to help block out the sound and monitor Gui Lian at the same time to prevent him from thinking about running away. The process of reaching a major turning point in life is always painful, so he must learn to endure this pain so that he can have a better future.
After a happy and colorful weekend, it is Monday again.
The first thing Chi Shen thought about when he got up was: Why do people have to go to work?
Oh, to survive.
He also wants to move into the new house with his friends and bask in the sun on the big balcony.
Thinking of this, Chi Shen got up quickly, and as usual, carried away the female ghost in red who was pulling the quilt and twisting it into a knot, and then checked the progress of Ghost Face's salvation. Unfortunately, it seemed to be still zero. Ghost Face was already lying in the cupboard, foaming at the mouth at the phone screen.
Chi Shen thought with regret that this group of evil spirits was really useless, then packed up and went to work.
Today's work was quite pleasant. Li Xu did not have two extra evil spirits on his body, so the atmosphere in the company was quite bright. Ma Caijin seemed to have convinced himself that a horror fighting game was just a horror fighting game and there was no problem with it. Since Li Xu said it was okay, then it must be okay!
During lunch break, Chi Shen took out his cell phone to check. He had an appointment with the landlord to view the house at 5:30 this afternoon. He planned to find the route now and go there directly after work.
Ma Caijin also happened to order food outside and came to eat next to Chi Shen. He accidentally glanced at Chi Shen's phone and asked casually, "Are you planning to rent a house?"
Chi Shen had nothing to hide, so he smiled and said, "Yes."
Ma Caijin said enthusiastically: "I know a lot about this. Can I give you some advice?"
Chi Shen smiled and said, "I've already picked one. I've made an appointment with the landlord to go and see the house after get off work today."
Ma Caijin nodded, tore open the takeaway and asked him: "Where are you looking? Our area is not cheap, the monthly rent for a single room starts at two thousand. In fact, it's not bad to rent a house near a bus terminal or subway station in the suburbs. A one-bedroom apartment there is only one thousand, which is very cost-effective."
Chi Shen glanced at the address on his phone: "Tongfuyuan, quite close to the company."
Ma Caijin's hand suddenly stopped unpacking the takeaway. He frowned and thought, "Tongfuyuan Tongfuyuan, this name sounds so familiar... I remembered the murder case two years ago!"
Then, Ma Caijin looked at Chi Shen in shock: "You didn't rent a haunted house, did you?"
Chi Shen's smile remained unchanged, and his tone was very calm: "Probably, but the rent is quite cheap."
Ma Caijin: "...Don't try to take advantage of small gains at a time like this!"
