"So it's right not to soak in the hot spring for too long." Chi Shen took the piece of white paper and ticked the box that states soaking in the hot spring should not exceed half an hour.
"Also, the hot spring pool and sauna are right, although I didn't encounter the beast mentioned here yesterday." Chi Shen said, "It seems that this person really wants to help us."
Bai Wan said from the side: "Does that mean someone in the hotel knows what happened here?"
"Yes, and he is still in the hotel, unwilling to cooperate with the police." Chi Shen's eyes moved away from the white paper and fell on Ji Xingchen, as if he was looking at Ji Xingchen and thinking, "Why is this?"
Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses calmly: "Maybe he is not alive, or maybe he was threatened and could only use this method to pass on the message to the people who came to the hotel."
Chi Shen laughed: "That makes sense."
"And there is the person who attacked Sister Hong." Chi Shen said.
When the red-clothed female ghost heard Chi Shen standing in for her, she immediately got angry and said, “I’m the younger sister now!”
The current female ghost in red does look young, about the same age as Bai Wan, so it really seems like she should be called sister.
But Chi Shen didn't care about this detail. He continued, "I think he will come again tonight."
The female ghost in red immediately stopped arguing. She trembled, hid behind Bai Wan, and began to look around.
"We need to give him a chance," Chi Shen continued.
The female ghost in red was frightened even more. She shrank behind Bai Wan again, as if she would be safe as long as she hid herself.
"The next question is... where is the person or ghost who caused all this hiding?" Chi Shen said, and then laughed, "Should we give him a chance as well?"
Everyone looked at him. Chi Shen was looked at by several ghosts and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's take a hot spring bath first. Let's go to the outdoor hot spring area to play."
There were only a few of them in the huge hot spring area at the moment. When they arrived at the outdoor hot spring, the female ghost in red immediately jumped into the largest hot spring pool as if to have fun. It was still a deep water area, and she sank as soon as she jumped in. She began to struggle desperately under the water. Before they could react, someone suddenly lifted her up and carried her out, and then sank back into the water again.
It was indeed a person, wearing a wide white robe with fluttering sleeves under the water. Everyone was shocked for a moment, and Bai Wan suddenly realized: "Is that a ghost face?"
Chi Shen said happily: "It seems that he is indeed very happy."
Since Guilian has found his own happiness, Chi Shen did not disturb him. Moreover, as long as Guilian is there, it means that the red-clothed female ghost will not drown here no matter how much she jumps around... As for how a ghost can drown, the red-clothed female ghost now does not seem to think of herself as a ghost, so it is normal for her to drown.
Bai Wan still seemed a little worried that something might happen to the female ghost in red, so she chased after her. Then Chi Shen and Ji Xingchen were left here.
The two sat down in the Chinese medicine pool.
This is where Chi Shen smelled blood last night. Now the water here only smells of the bitter scent of Chinese medicine, and the color is light yellowish brown, not dark red.
"It would be great if we had some wine at this time. Last night's osmanthus wine was quite delicious." Chi Shen had already relaxed. He secretly stretched out his hand under the water, and Ji Xingchen also cooperated and stretched out his hand to hold his hand.
"I've already ordered it, and it should be delivered soon." Ji Xingchen said, "You can scan the QR code on the brochure with your phone."
Not long after, someone brought osmanthus wine and placed it behind them. Chi Shen smiled and thanked the waiter, successfully making the waiter blush.
"It seems that people can die, but money cannot be lost. The boss here is still very smart." After the waiter left, Chi Shen drank osmanthus wine and sighed.
Chi Shen smiled faintly while drinking. His smile was very faint, completely different from his usual kind smile. It was a happiness that came from the heart.
"Do you like it?" Chi Shen asked.
"I like it." Ji Xingchen replied, then he raised his eyelashes in the moist water vapor, looked at Chi Shen, took another sip of wine, and then moved closer.
He thought Chi Shen liked it too.
The entire outdoor hot spring area seemed a little quiet. After all, there were only a few of them here...or rather, ghosts.
In such an environment, the sound of conversation suddenly rang out in the hot spring area. It was the voices of two young boys.
"Now there are only two of us left," said a boy, "It's so boring. I thought I could take a hot spring bath with the girls from the club."
"It's such a hassle to come here. It takes two hours by car, and they said we have to go back immediately. What the hell are we looking for if we are so scared?" Another boy also complained.
Both of them were wearing swimsuits and bath towels, walking slowly in, complaining as they walked. Suddenly, they saw a person in front of them, a man in a black windbreaker. He was sitting on a flower bed behind a tree, his body upright, and seemed to be thinking about something in distress.
This sudden scene startled the two of them. One of them recognized that this was the person they met in the lobby and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
The man in the black windbreaker looked up at them, then lowered his head again, as if he wanted to continue thinking about something. Then he found something wrong and looked up at them: "Can you see me?"
Two boys passing by took a step back together, and one of them couldn't speak clearly: "W-what do you mean? We shouldn't see you?"
"It's okay." The man in the black windbreaker suddenly came back to his senses and looked at them. "Why are you back? Didn't I tell you that it's dangerous here and you should leave quickly?"
His sudden dean-like attitude made the two boys take another step back. The man in the black windbreaker frowned even more tightly. He looked down at himself, as if trying to find something scary about himself, but he found nothing.
But he knew that ghosts generally don't think they are strange, but people do.
The boy took a step back before answering, "They're just a few ghost stories. They might scare girls, but we're not afraid. Besides, the police have allowed this place to be open, so there must be no problem here. Do you have a grudge against this hotel? You've been helping them drive customers away."
Another boy also said stubbornly: "We have already paid, but we can't get a refund when we check out. Why can't you let us stay?"
The man in the black windbreaker frowned at them and said again: "You can live here, but you can't take a hot spring bath."
"He's crazy," the two boys left quickly, "He came to stay in a hot spring hotel but was not allowed to soak in the hot springs. Is this person crazy?"
"Look at him dressed like this. Has he watched too many Hong Kong movies? Does he think he's handsome like Chow Yun Fat?"
The man in the black windbreaker seemed to want to follow them, but after listening to their discussion, he stopped where he was.
Then he was stunned for a moment and suddenly looked in one direction.
Suddenly there was a set of footprints there, wet, and coming from a different direction from where the two boys came.
He recognized the footprints. He and his uncle followed them here yesterday, and then were pushed by something and fell into the hot spring pool.
He followed.
Now he no longer needs to be afraid.
