Several people looked at each other, and Uncle Ge, who looked pale, spoke first: "This is not something we can decide alone. It will take time to deliver the things."
"I have contacted my family, and it will be delivered tomorrow at the latest. You may need to wait."
The person holding the phone checked the time again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Yes, it will be delivered soon."
Chi Shen lowered his eyes slightly, as if thinking about whether to wait.
"Chi Shen - there is a trick!"
Suddenly, a pale ghost face rolled in from the window and shouted loudly: "They have set up a dojo downstairs, waiting for you to get out——"
Almost at the same time, Li Shuan said, "Chi Shen, are you sure you want to do this?"
During the discussion that night, he basically did not speak. He just looked at Chi Shen and seemed to be thinking about many things. Even when someone asked him about the layout of the dojo, he said, "It's not necessary."
The voice of Gui Lian immediately attracted the attention of several people. The man holding the phone showed a moment of panic on his face and was about to explain: "It's not a dojo, it's just outside-"
Chi Shen tilted his head, not looking at the person who was making the excuse, but looking at Li Shuan. He seemed to think for a moment before he said, "I'm sure."
"I will hold a meeting with my family and tell them that you will become the acting patriarch of the Li family. We in the Li family do not have a so-called patriarch token. As long as my brothers acknowledge you, you will have the power of acting patriarch."
After Li Shuan finished speaking, he stood up, opened the door and walked out. The black fog automatically dissipated around him, making way for him.
"This...Uncle Li!"
"Uncle Li, how could you compromise like this!"
Li Shuan had already walked to the door. He turned back to look at the others. He looked very tired. "Give him what he wants. It's just some useless symbols. He won't use it to do bad things."
Chi Shen grinned, revealing a somewhat evil smile: "That's not necessarily true. Well, let me see the dojo you have arranged."
He stood up slowly from the chair. It seemed that he had been sitting for too long and his body was a little stiff. He moved his arms and then walked forward.
Seeing his natural attitude, the others were shocked. Xiao Yuan was the first to speak: "Aren't you afraid of being reduced to ashes in the dojo?"
Chi Shen shook his head: "I have something I want to confirm."
Uncle Zhang followed him out. When he left, he turned back and said, "Bai Hengqing's dojo didn't work on him before. He wasn't saved. You guys...just give up."
Uncle Ge, who looked pale, had been thinking about something since just now. He turned around and asked, "What did Zhang Yao say?"
Uncle Zhang glanced at him. This time he did not continue to riddle him. He said bluntly: "Although I don't know what will happen, the clan leader said that this is a necessary step to solve the current crisis in Hong Kong City. I didn't understand it at first, but the clan leader's divination has never been wrong... I thought about it last night, and I think he might want to go there by himself."
"Then what about the position of clan leader?" asked the person who was in charge of setting up the Taoist temple.
Uncle Zhang thought about it and smiled: "Maybe he wants to have an equal dialogue with his father. Maybe he also needs an identity to ensure that he is useful."
After all, it was in the Special Security Bureau, and the dojo downstairs was very well-equipped. As soon as he got downstairs, Gui Lian immediately hid behind Chi Shen. He hesitated and asked, "Chi Shen, think about it! Are you sure?"
"You and Ji Xingchen should stay away from each other, it will affect you."
Chi Shen said this and slowly walked into the center of the dojo.
Ji Xingchen walked out from Chi Shen's shadow, raised his hand to lift up his ghost face, avoided the sunlight, walked to the door, and looked up at Chi Shen.
Chi Shen nodded to him, and Ji Xingchen walked out with a grimace, left the Special Security Bureau, and blended into the shadows of the trees nearby.
"Hey! Aren't you worried about him? Is it okay for you to just let him stay in there?" Ghost Face jumped and shouted under the shadow of the tree, "This dojo is different from the ones I've seen before. It's very powerful. Although I can't understand why it's so powerful, it's definitely not a dojo for salvation or some friendly place. It will be reduced to ashes if you're not careful!"
The shadows of the trees sway.
Several office workers who were walking past the entrance of the Special Security Bureau turned around and chatted: "Did you hear any noise? It sounded like someone was yelling?"
"No, you heard it wrong. There is no one here. Let's go, or you won't be able to have breakfast."
"No, there really is..."
"It's not like there's any ghost story this early in the morning. You've watched too many horror movies."
…
Ghost Face chose to shut up angrily. He stuck to the tree trunk and pulled himself into an oval shape. Even though he only had a face, he made an expectant gesture and stared at the gate of the Special Security Bureau eagerly.
He didn't have to wait long. About an hour later, Chi Shen walked out of the Special Security Bureau unharmed.
"Are you okay?" Ghost Face was the first to rush forward.
"It's okay." Chi Shen picked up Gui Lian and walked towards Ji Xingchen who was under the shade of the tree.
"Are you confirmed?" Ji Xingchen's appearance slowly appeared in the shade of the trees.
"Confirmed, I saw the door again, and saw the scenery 'over there'." At this moment, Chi Shen's face showed a rare fatigue, "I have indeed returned from hell. That place... is not a game at all as we thought."
He walked towards Ji Xingchen: "I'm sleepy, why should I go to work."
Ji Xingchen didn't move, he stretched out his hand towards Chi Shen.
Chi Shen lowered his head slightly, then leaned on Ji Xingchen's shoulder face to face: "I want to sleep so much."
Ji Xingchen supported him with one hand: "Go to sleep."
"Please help me with my work..."
"good."
Chi Shen, who was leaning on Ji Xingchen's shoulder, smiled triumphantly. His voice gradually faded, but his face caught the point. He asked in surprise, "You can still go to work like this?!"
"Because I told them that if they touch me now, let alone what they can do to me, if something really happens to me, Hong Kong City will probably be blown up by my father, so before the Spring Festival, let me live a normal life..."
His voice gradually disappeared, Ji Xingchen hugged him with both hands, his figure disappeared on the spot, and "Chi Shen" opened his eyes again.
"Chi Shen" looked at the time, went to have breakfast first, and then went to the company.
Ma Caijin was woken up by a honking sound this morning. Two cars collided downstairs of his house and started honking, causing a traffic jam. The car owners stuck in the rush hour honked their horns all morning, forcing Ma Caijin to get up from bed and go to work while cursing the idiot downstairs.
He thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect that there was already someone in the office.
"He comes to work so early, this guy must be Chi Shen's enemy... Eh? Chi Shen?!"
Chi Shen turned around from his seat and raised his hand as if he wanted to touch his nose bridge, but then he realized something and gave up. He then said, "I just sorted out my previous design ideas and it's a good opportunity to show them to you."
"Oh, okay...no, why are you here so early?" Ma Caijin looked Chi Shen up and down and felt that he was a little different today.
"I still have some work to do, so I came here. If everything is ok, I will also sort out the details of communicating with the artist."
"Okay, I'll go take a look first," Ma Caijin left with a strange expression, muttering softly, "Why are you working so hard all of a sudden? Are you working to support your family..."
The author has something to say:
When writing this chapter...I suddenly remembered an article I read before.
"Will the world end if I don't go to work?"
Lie down. Since the world won’t be destroyed, can I stop working?
