After dinner, Chi Shen went to the hospital to pick up Bai Wan.
After coming out of Dongshan Hot Spring, Zhong Yi was sent to the hospital. At that time, Zhong Yi was in a very bad condition. His body was covered with sticky pink liquid that melted from human bodies. It was Bai Wan who pulled him out of the pile of mucus and cleaned his mouth and nose, thus avoiding being suffocated to death.
After Chi Shen took Ji Xingchen away from the hospital, he left Bai Wan in the hospital to help look after them. Now that the matter has been resolved and his New Year's Day holiday has arrived, he has to pick up Bai Wan and go back to Gangcheng with him.
When they arrived at the hospital, Zhong Yi had already woken up. Bai Wan arrived just in time. Zhong Yi's external injuries were not very serious. It was mainly because of the Yin energy entering his body that he looked particularly weak. When he heard Chi Shen say that he was going back to Hong Kong City, Zhong Yi struggled to get up from the hospital bed and said, "I'll go back with you."
The Zhong family member who came to take care of him said, "Given your current condition, it's best for you to stay in the hospital for a few more days."
Zhong Yi shook his head: "I...I'm going to see my grandfather."
The old man's ashes should have been returned to the Zhong family for burial, but the old man died in suspicious circumstances and the case is currently under investigation, so the body cannot be returned for the time being.
So, when Chi Shen returned to Gangcheng, he brought a weak Zhong Yi with him.
However, due to the follow-up treatment of the unconscious person, Chi Shen did not go back on time during the New Year's Day holiday. He booked a flight for the day after the holiday, so he called Li Xu and asked for a day off.
Li Xu said nothing happened on the other end of the phone. He seemed to be in a good mood and asked again, "How was your vacation?"
"It was quite fun. I met a lot of old friends," Chi Shen thought for a moment and added, "I also collected a lot of materials. I have a new idea!"
"What did you do? Explore a haunted house?"
“I guess so.”
"Wait..." Li Xu suddenly thought of something, "Your haunted house exploration, isn't it true that ghosts are involved?"
Chi Shen replied: "It seems so."
Li Xu on the other end was silent.
A wisp of black smoke emerged from Chi Shen’s shadow, climbed up Chi Shen’s arm and rolled towards the cell phone.
At this time, Li Xu spoke again: "You don't have to work so hard. There's no rush for the BOSS plan. Just write it casually first. What if it can be used?"
Chi Shen smiled and said, "Thank you, boss. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."
Amid Li Xu's earnest persuasion, Chi Shen hung up the phone. Looking at the black mist in his hand, he slowly retracted his fingers and gently squeezed the black mist.
The black mist dissipated and slid back into his shadow.
Chi Shen withdrew his hand and began to pack his luggage to return to Hong Kong City.
Ji Xingchen should still be in an unconscious state now. Although he has tried to comfort him, Ji Xingchen will still be in a confused state for a while.
But Ji Xingchen like this...seemed to suddenly become very clingy to him.
Is this a good thing? Chi Shen didn't know, but he didn't think it was a bad thing, so every time Ji Xingchen had a situation, he would respond.
The flight back was at night. Chi Shen carried his travel bag and boarded the plane home with his friend who was invisible to others.
"Four, when they came, four!" The red-clothed female ghost popped her head out of the backpack and counted on her fingers. After counting, she pointed at Chi Shen's shadow, the tablet in the backpack, and the ghost face attached to the backpack, and frowned in confusion, "Four, still four."
"Lingling, gone." The red-clothed female ghost looked around, "Lingling is gone, or are there four of them?"
Ghostface complained, "There were five of them when they came. You counted wrong!"
The red-clothed female ghost began to count on her fingers again: "Bai Lian, Bai Wan, Xing Xing... Ling Ling, there were four of them when they came!"
Ghost Face: "You know to count yourself now, so why didn't you count yourself when you came here?"
The red-clothed ghost thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "Lingling is gone, so there are only four."
"It's better to kill her. We can't keep her accustomed to her." Ghost Face said, "It would be better if she was caught once she was released. Let her see the dangers of society!"
The red-dressed ghost held her chin with both hands and looked ahead: "I miss Lingling."
Amid the noise and bustle along the way, Chi Shen's flight was not boring at all.
——
Port city.
It was already dark; night always comes earlier in coastal areas.
Yuan Yiping finished his work for the day and prepared to go home to rest.
The port city has been relatively peaceful these days. Apart from dealing with the usual family matters, there is not much work to do. There is even less work than during previous New Year's Day periods.
He yawned and drove home, thinking about what he had said today. His superiors asked him to cooperate with the Special Security Bureau's investigation team on the Bai family and conduct a targeted investigation of the Bai family.
The Bai family has a complex network of connections in Gangcheng, and it is difficult to dig them all out at once. As someone who has been with Gangcheng Special Security Bureau since its inception, Yuan Yiping would be more aware of the power in Gangcheng, so he was pulled into this investigation team.
He actually didn't quite know what the Bai family was doing, but after experiencing several things that happened to Chi Shen, he knew which places were suspicious, so he provided some important clues, such as the Bai family, the place where Bai Ran died, and the construction site.
It was not time to get off work, so there was no traffic jam. He drove smoothly into the garage. Yuan Yiping opened the car door and suddenly felt a huge chill, a chill that made the hairs on his whole body stand up.
He didn't feel any evil energy, but his instinct of walking between life and death for many years made him sense the danger. He immediately leaned forward and moved several meters to the side.
"Bang!" A loud bang hit his car. The ventilation pipe in the underground garage fell off.
This ventilation duct must not have fallen off due to aging. Yuan Yiping suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the parking lot - there was a ghost with several different faces lurking there. Some of those faces had confused expressions, as if they were looking at him curiously, while others were looking at him with eyes full of malice, or with eyes that were greedy for food.
Yuan Yiping didn't waste any time. He reached into his clothes, grabbed a handful of cinnabar and threw it in the direction of the ghost. Taking advantage of the ghost's momentary dodge, he ran away!
Although he didn't know why he couldn't sense the ghost's yin energy, he couldn't stay here for long. The ghost looked tough and he might not be able to defeat it. Now many people from various families came to Hong Kong City, so he could ask them for help first.
"The smell of my brother," those faces suddenly appeared on Yuan Yiping's clothes, and several faces said in the same tone, "You smell like my brother, it's really... delicious."
Yuan Yiping suddenly stopped and reached into his pocket, but he didn't take anything out. Before he could take anything out, a big gash had been made on his body, and blood gushed out, soaking the ground.
An innocent face popped out of the hole, and seemed to be asking in confusion: "Where is the soul?"
"Where is the soul?" Several other faces said at the same time, and the voice became farther and farther away and more and more ethereal.
Under the dim street lights, a straight figure slowly fell to the ground.
