Chi Shen came back around noon. After coming back, he went to the kitchen to cook lunch under everyone's strange gaze, and then went to the bedroom to change into pajamas and lie down.
Blood gathered on the ceiling, and a line of words appeared on it: "You are a rotten person, and you are so kind to him."
Chi Shen looked at the ceiling expressionlessly and said calmly, "I don't remember."
The blood turned into a mocking smiley face and then scattered to every corner of the room.
Chi Shen rubbed his nose and closed his eyes.
Ten minutes later, Chi Shen opened his eyes. He still looked a little sleepy, but he woke up quickly.
He stretched, yawned, got up, opened the bedroom curtains, letting the light from outside the window fill the entire room. Then he moved his body and found that he did not feel any discomfort. It seemed that Ji Xingchen still took good care of his body and did not do anything strange.
Last night he gave Ji Xingchen a hint, indicating that Ji Xingchen could do something with his body. It seemed that Ji Xingchen understood and did use his body. As for what he did, he was still a little looking forward to it.
Then Chi Shen slowly changed his clothes, squatted next to Ji Xingchen No. 2 and looked at him, and said firmly: "You are awake."
Ji Xingchen No. 2 did not react at all, and Chi Shen did not stay long. Since Ji Xingchen No. 2 refused to communicate, he would not force it.
As soon as he arrived in the living room, he was faced with the gazes of ghosts in the living room. Even the female ghost in the kitchen looked at him with gossipy eyes. However, when Chi Shen looked back, she quickly shrank back into the cupboard. Before closing the door, she used her hands to clean up a few drops of blood that accidentally dripped on the kitchen floor, and then quickly closed the cupboard door.
Chi Shen didn't care about this little thing. He went to the dining room and fell silent when he looked at the fried eggs with tomatoes, tomato and egg soup, cold tomatoes, fried eggs, and a bowl of white rice on the table.
"Is this the only thing the supermarket sells?" Chi Shen couldn't help but ask.
A voice came from his shadow: "This is all I can do."
Then Chi Shen looked at a contract on the dining table. It was a rental contract. Ji Xingchen had signed a three-year contract with the landlord. He showed a toothache expression: "Is this all you did this morning?"
Ji Xingchen explained in a calm voice: "This is a very important matter. It is related to your rest."
Chi Shen was silent for three seconds. It made so much sense that he didn't know what to say. He could only sigh: "Even if you don't investigate how you died, at least help me ask what the Bai family wants to do."
In the shadows, Ji Xingchen's voice was calm and cruel: "That's your business, you should solve it yourself."
Chi Shen... Chi Shen had no choice but to take a sip of the tomato and egg soup. It seemed that his lazy method was not working...
He was still thinking that once Ji Xingchen got used to it, they could each work one day and realize the 2.5-day work week ahead of schedule. What a wonderful future that would be. Now it seems that Ji Xingchen will not agree to it. Thinking of this, his expression seems a little melancholy.
Melancholy, he took another bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes——
“Why put sugar in it?”
Chi Shen was shocked.
"Do you put sugar in tomato scrambled eggs?!"
Ji Xingchen came out from the shadows and pushed up his glasses: "Adding sugar can make it more delicious."
"No! You can't put sugar in scrambled eggs with tomatoes! That's heresy!"
Ji Xingchen: "You'll be fine once you get used to it."
Chi Shen was shoveling away at his meal, firmly defending his fundamentalist position of fried tomato and eggs: "Fried tomato and eggs can only be seasoned with salt, no other seasoning is needed!"
Ji Xingchen: "You must be brave enough to accept new things."
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to accept it…”
Twenty minutes later, Chi Shen looked at the empty plates and discussed with Ji Xingchen: "How about you wash the dishes too?"
Ji Xingchen looked at Chi Shen with indifference.
Chi Shen had no choice but to get up and wash the dishes himself.
After finishing cleaning up, Chi Shen tidied himself up again, looked at the time, and moved the lounge chair he had chosen to the terrace. Although it was cloudy today, he pretended that the sun was shining and lay down.
Because there was no sun, Ji Xingchen could move freely. He stood on the terrace, looking out at the business district in the distance.
"Xingxing seemed not to want you to know how you died. He completely ignored me." Chi Shen leaned on the recliner and played games. He wanted to experience the comfort of this recliner. If it didn't work, he would return it.
Ji Xingchen didn't turn his head, still looking into the distance: "Yeah."
Chi Shen asked: "Do you still want to investigate? You actually don't want to know it yourself."
Ji Xingchen didn't hesitate at all: "Yes."
Chi Shen controlled the little man to avoid the monster's pursuit and said, "Even if that would be a result you don't want to know?"
Ji Xingchen said: "Even if that is a result I don't want to know, I want to know what happened."
"Then let's go to the Special Security Bureau first, and then go to Hong'an Trading at night." Chi Shen accidentally encountered a door-opening kill, but he was not discouraged and loaded the file to start over.
Ji Xingchen withdrew his gaze from a distance: "Okay."
Since the meeting ended too late this morning, in order to give everyone enough time to rest, Chi Shen and Yuan Yiping made an appointment to meet at the Special Security Bureau at three o'clock in the afternoon to try to awaken the soul that had been stripped from Lu Xiangyang.
When Chi Shen went over, he found that the Special Security Bureau was a little busier than usual. When he entered, many people looked at him.
Because of his sensitive ears, he also heard the deliberately suppressed sound in the corner.
"Is that him?"
"She's actually pretty. With this face, why did she have to go back to the Bai family? She can make a lot of money being a star now."
"He was the one who sent that fake young master to the police station, wasn't he?"
"Hush, that fake young master is not a good guy either. This time he is just here to cooperate with the investigation."
"This young master of the Bai family who is living outside has never received any systematic training, right? Can he do it?"
"Brother Yuan guaranteed it, so it should be okay, right?"
"Yuan Yiping, the Taoist priest who always follows the rules? Hahaha, he also uses this method. Is this a last resort?"
As if he was used to such discussions, Chi Shen's face did not change. Yuan Yiping was waiting for him in the lobby. Chi Shen told him that he would bring two friends in. One was Gui Lian, whom Yuan Yiping had met before, and the other was Ji Xingchen.
Since they would have to cooperate in the future, Chi Shen decided to introduce Ji Xingchen to Yuan Yiping first to avoid any trouble in the future.
When Ji Xingchen and Gui Lian came out, the whole hall was silent for a moment, and only Chi Shen's polite voice rang out in the hall: "This is Ji Xingchen."
He raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the hall without leaving a trace, without missing any details. However, to his regret, there was only surprise on their faces, and no one cast a strange look at Ji Xingchen. It seemed that no one here knew Ji Xingchen.
Yuan Yiping looked at Ji Xingchen. He seemed a little uncomfortable, but he still greeted Ji Xingchen politely: "Hello."
Ji Xingchen also looked at him and said calmly, "Hello."
"The Special Security Bureau members who came to support from elsewhere have arrived today, so it's quite noisy." Yuan Yiping said, "I'll take you to Lu Xiangyang's room first."
"Wait," a voice suddenly appeared, "Yuan Yiping, what are you doing?"
Chi Shen looked at the person who spoke, a young man in his early twenties, with a handsome appearance and a sharp look. When this person appeared, Guiyan's first reaction was to hide.
The man also looked at Chi Shen, his words full of doubt: "You let an ordinary person go to the ghost's room? And this person is haunted by a ghost, and you don't help solve it?"
"He has a special way of communicating with ghosts, which should be very useful in this case. Let's try it first." Yuan Yiping explained to the man.
"They are my friends. I volunteer to be haunted by evil spirits." Chi Shen said with a smile.
Yuan Yiping and Chi Shen introduced the young man, saying that he was the heir of the Zhong family, Zhong Yi, and that he had come specially to support Gangcheng. When they were talking, many people looked over, and most of them looked at Zhong Yi with admiration and envy.
After hearing what Chi Shen said, Zhong Yi showed a look of obvious disapproval: "Being haunted by evil spirits will shorten your lifespan. Even if they don't harm you, you should send them to salvation. This is also for your own good."
"I've actually been trying hard to help them transcend," Chi Shen fell into deep thought, "but I don't know why, after half a month of hard work, there's been no effect at all."
His eyes drifted to the ghost face, and the ghost face immediately curled itself into a ball and pretended that it didn't exist.
Zhong Yi said seriously: "I can help you perform a ritual to help your friends to be liberated."
Chi Shen smiled and said, "I need to ask their opinions on this."
Zhong Yi did not insist. Seeing that the two were still heading towards the room where the evil spirits were imprisoned, he reminded them again, "Brother Yuan, can you guarantee the safety of this interrogation?"
Yuan Yiping nodded: "I can."
Zhong Yi still had doubts. He frowned and seemed to want to say something.
Yuan Yiping had no choice but to say, "You can come in and take a look, just in case of any unexpected events."
Zhong Yi looked at Chi Shen again and compromised, "Okay."
Yuan Yiping brought two men and two ghosts to a door with a Bagua mirror and talisman paper hanging on it. They opened the door and saw a room covered with talismans. There were several chairs and a wooden table inside. The wooden table was covered with yellow cloth, on which a paper man was placed.
As soon as he walked in, Gui Lian was so scared that he wanted to hide in Chi Shen's shadow. Ji Xingchen pulled him out with a cold face, and he had no choice but to hide behind Chi Shen in grievance.
"We have stripped off the broken ghost from Lu Xiangyang and placed it on the paper figurine," Yuan Yiping said. "This may also be a victim. We hope to confirm her identity."
"Let me try." Chi Shen said.
Yuan Yiping said: "Zhong Yi and I will be there to ensure your safety."
Zhong Yi also nodded: "If there is something wrong, just tell him directly. You only need to know some basic information about her. There is no need to explore how she died. That might anger him. You must always remember that your safety comes first."
Chi Shen smiled: "Okay."
Zhong Yi asked again: "Do you need our cooperation?"
Chi Shen looked at the paper figures and said, "Just be quiet."
Zhong Yi seemed a little uncomfortable with being talked to like this. He scratched his hair and chose to shut up. Yuan Yiping looked at the paper mannequin calmly.
The paper figure was only the size of a palm, with the facial features drawn on it with a red pen and some tree branches laid underneath. When Chi Shen took a look, he discovered that the soul was not only attached to the paper figure, but also to the branches.
Those fragments of soul were scattered like gravel among the branches, shattered completely.
There are some troubles.
Chi Shen raised his hand gently. He could feel her pain, so he decided to give it a try.
