There was the sound of chains colliding.
Countless blood crawled up from the wall, twisting as if trying to form some words.
Ji Xingchen was also looking at Chi Shen. He did not come forward, but just reminded him again: "It's time to eat."
Chi Shen smiled and picked up a small bottle on the ground, collected two drops of blood dripping from the chain, turned around and left with Ji Xingchen: "I know, if we don't eat quickly, we will be late..."
Ji Xingchen No. 2's heart beat heavily twice, then calmed down again. The blood that had been climbing up the wall suddenly dissipated, and before it could even form bloody words, the only sound left in the room was the sound of the iron chains shaking gently.
Ji Xingchen looked back at No. 2, pushed his glasses, and left indifferently.
Chi Shen put the small bottle into his pocket, took out two "candies" and held them in his hand, looking at Ji Xingchen's body for a long time.
The habits he developed in the death game made him a light sleeper. He knew that Ji Xingchen left last night, and he also knew what happened in the next room.
There didn't look anything unusual about Ji Xingchen's body. It seemed that he had completely absorbed Sheng Yulan's pain, and the pain didn't leave any trace on his body.
Why should we help others suffer?
Chi Shen helps these ghosts only out of interest; he will not do anything to hurt himself.
The "candies" in his hand collided gently without making any sound. The outside of the "candies" was sticky and soft, as if coated with a layer of syrup. Chi Shen looked down at the black and white candies and put them away.
Ji Xingchen didn't like this.
Let’s try something that Ji Xingchen will be more accepting of next time, Chi Shen thought of this and smiled.
Coming out of the bedroom, Chi Shen took out the hot breakfast from the steamer. While eating, he discussed things with his roommates.
"I'm going to take the kid out and find a chance to revive him." Chi Shen said, "Auntie, you need to wait a few days. This is too troublesome. I can't handle it alone."
Sheng Yulan's eyes sparkled, and she stammered, "Is it really possible?"
Chi Shen looked at Du Jun who was standing at the door of the bedroom, not daring to come over, and said, "It should be possible, in theory, but I haven't tried it yet."
Sheng Yulan asked hurriedly: "Do you need my help?"
Chi Shen smiled and shook his head: "No need."
Sheng Yulan looked a little worried again and looked at Chi Shen. Chi Shen just told her not to worry and just wait. She just looked at him dryly and didn't say much.
After dinner, Chi Shen picked up the golden ginkgo leaves on the coffee table, let Du Jun enter the leaves, and took him away.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Gui Lian suddenly slipped out from the crack of the door, and he hugged Chi Shen's calf with his face skin.
Chi Shen paused in closing the door and looked at Gui Lian.
The ghost face also raised his face and looked at Chi Shen quietly, as if he had something to say.
Chi Shen closed the door and walked straight to the elevator without stopping.
The ghost face immediately flew to Chi Shen's shoulder and whispered quickly: "Can you really resurrect people?!"
Chi Shen tilted his head to look at the ginkgo leaf in his hand. Du Jun also popped his head out and looked at Chi Shen expectantly.
There was no one on this floor, so Chi Shen said calmly, "I can't."
Du Jun's expression darkened.
Ghost Face heaved a sigh of relief immediately, and then continued to mutter: "This is against the will of heaven, you must not do it. If you do it, you will definitely not die a good death. You can't say you will not die a good death, because you may die immediately, or something bigger than resurrecting a person may happen..."
After talking for a long time, Ghost Face suddenly thought of something: "Then why did you tell people that you can be resurrected...?"
Chi Shen's smile remained unchanged. He looked at the elevator floor and said slowly, "If we dispel the ghost's obsession, she can be liberated. This is a subjective matter. Since it is subjective, we just need to let her believe it."
The ghost face was stunned for a long time before uttering a syllable: "...Ah?"
A few days later.
It's a cloudy day today.
In the living room, the curtains were drawn and Bai Wan was sitting in front of the coffee table with the tablet placed on her legs. She lowered her head and her red veil hung down to the bottom of the coffee table. She held a tablet in one hand and a pen in the other, slowly scribbling on a piece of paper.
There are makeup tutorials on the tablet.
The face already had a rough outline, which was much better than the first day she tried it.
Behind Bai Wan, a face had been pasted onto a paper figure. It was the appearance of Sheng Yulan. Although the facial features still looked very stiff, this was the result of Bai Wan's hard work. Chi Shen also said that he could just use it as is.
Sheng Yulan stood beside her paper figure, carefully arranging the clothes on the paper figure.
Those were the clothes Chi Shen bought online. They were the loose-fitting styles that Sheng Yulan liked, and also the style she had wanted to wear but never had the chance to buy.
Sheng Yulan carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes and looked at her paper figurine with an extremely peaceful look.
She had tried it on her own paper doll before. She didn't know what method Chi Shen used, but after she entered it, the entire paper doll would come alive. The eyebrows and eyes drawn on the paper would move with her expressions. If you didn't look closely, she would even look like a living person.
However, it is still a little inconvenient to wear a paper doll. For example, it is afraid of fire and water. Moreover, one has to remember at all times that one is wearing a paper doll. Otherwise, it is very likely that one will raise one's hand but the paper doll will not, and the paper doll will fall off one's body.
Chi Shen said that she could wear this paper man, walk out of the room and go to the outside world, but she still didn't dare to. She was afraid of the light and people, and she was also afraid of being recognized as not being human.
So even though the paper figure was made a few days ago, she never wore it out.
After smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes, she began to think about her children again. Du Jun had been away from here for many days and there was still no news. She couldn't help but start to worry about her daughter. Chi Shen said he would help her find her daughter, but she didn't know if there was any progress.
She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have told the truth to Chi Shen. That would only cause trouble to others. How could it be possible to resurrect a child who had been dead for many years?
After thinking for a long time, she felt that today seemed a little different. The living room was too quiet, with only the sound of a beauty video playing on the tablet. She looked up and saw the TV was turned off. Suddenly, she remembered that the white ghost face with only a piece of skin that would watch TV all day was gone.
And the female ghost in red with only a head and two hands was also gone. She went to the bedroom to look for the two ghosts, but still couldn't find them. Thinking that they might have gone out with Chi Shen, she gave up looking and went to the living room to watch Bai Wan paint.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The knock was irregular and even a little urgent.
Bai Wan and Sheng Yulan raised their heads together. A hand reached out from Bai Wan's tablet and opened the security door.
A young man stood outside the door and smiled brightly towards the house: "Mom, I'm back!"
He was a little thin, like a young man who was still growing up. The clothes he wore were a little baggy. There was no yin energy coming out of him. Under Sheng Yulan's gaze, he was a living person. He was holding a little girl in his right hand. The little girl had twin ponytails and stared at the two ghosts in the house with big eyes. She was curious, but she was also translucent.
Sheng Yulan stood up from Bai Wan's side. She looked at the young man outside the door, covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes. She whispered, "Junjun..."
Du Jun led the little girl into the gate, and the gate slammed shut behind them. The little girl's legs seemed to be a little bit bad, and she walked a little strangely, but after taking a few steps, her movements became smooth again.
Seeing a man and a ghost coming in, Sheng Yulan immediately took a step back, as if wanting to leave.
Du Jun's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little worried, but he soon smiled again and said, "Mom, don't worry. Brother Chi Shen told me that I won't be affected by you now, because you don't want everyone to die now."
Bai Wan supported Sheng Yulan from behind and said softly, "Believe in your brother, he has resurrected Du Jun, and Du Jun will not be affected by you."
Sheng Yulan then stopped and watched Du Jun approaching her. She no longer avoided his gaze and looked at him for a long time, her eyes filled with tears. She seemed to want to hug Du Jun, but was a little hesitant.
Du Jun took a step forward and hugged her. His tears flowed into her neck, but then passed through her neck and dripped onto the ground.
"Mom, I'm back."
Sheng Yulan didn't seem to know where to put her hands. She raised her hands twice, and finally hugged Du Jun, saying in a hoarse voice: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"I brought my sister back as well." Du Jun let go of his hand, took the hand of the little girl who had been watching curiously, and led her to Sheng Yulan.
The little girl looked at Sheng Yulan with wide eyes and called out tentatively, "Mom?"
Looking at the little girl, Sheng Yulan did not react immediately. She seemed unable to figure out what was going on.
"Brother Chi Shen helped me find her, but he was still at work. I wanted to see you, so I brought her back first," Du Jun said. "My sister is not dead. She was adopted. But when she was seven years old, she got sick and didn't survive. Brother Chi Shen helped me find her soul. Fortunately, her soul has not disappeared."
The little girl stretched out her hand toward Sheng Yulan and called out in a clear voice, "Mom!"
"Hey!" Sheng Yulan also hugged the little girl. She smiled, but tears flowed down her face.
As soon as Sheng Yulan hugged the little girl, she grabbed Sheng Yulan's clothes and refused to let go. She shouted loudly over and over again: "Mom! Mom! Mom!"
Sheng Yulan agreed again and again. She held the little girl in her arms, looked at her carefully for a long time, and finally sighed: "You must have suffered a lot before, right?"
The little girl immediately shook her head: "It won't be so hard when I see my mother!"
Sheng Yulan also laughed. She pinched the little girl's cheek and asked worriedly, "Why are you so thin?"
Du Jun explained beside him: "She was sick before."
Several people were talking in the living room, and a ghost was also talking in the closet.
"Will this really work?"
The ghost face and the female ghost in red were both locked in the closet. They wanted to get out, but the closet ghost stared at them closely and gave them no chance to escape.
Ghost Face expressed his doubts, but no one answered him. The cabinet ghost didn't want to talk, and the female ghost in red was pounding the cabinet angrily and didn't listen to him at all.
The cabinet ghost isolated the sounds inside and outside the cabinet, so the sound of the red-clothed female ghost hammering the cabinet did not spread out.
Gui Lian listened to the noise outside the closet and sighed: "I will never trust Ji Xingchen again next time!"
It was Ji Xingchen who tricked them into the closet this morning! The reason was that he was afraid they would let the cat out of the bag. Is this guy still a ghost? How could he trick a ghost!
"I can understand locking up this silly girl. She is indeed a person who is prone to letting things slip," Ghost Face said in confusion, "Why should I be locked up?"
The next second, the red-clothed female ghost's fist landed on his face, flattening his facial features with one punch. The red-clothed female ghost angrily said, "You! You talk too much!"
The noisy closet suddenly became quiet. Several ghosts sensed something and looked towards the balcony. Although they couldn't see it, they all turned their heads.
A gust of wind suddenly blew outside the balcony.
A child's sharp laughter came from outside the balcony.
Sheng Yulan turned around in the living room and saw a black shadow that looked like a child standing outside the balcony, with the corners of his mouth raised high, a terrifying smile, and blood-red eyes staring straight at them through the glass.
"Are you coming to find us because you think your brother is not here?" Bai Wan turned around, and the yin energy turned into red candles, blocking the way from the balcony to the living room.
Sheng Yulan immediately pulled Du Jun and the little girl back.
The little girl looked at the black shadow, and the corners of her mouth rose, as if she wanted to show the same smile as the child in the black shadow, but Du Jun suddenly pulled her, so she had to droop her mouth again and was pulled away unwillingly.
