The golden light gathered at Chi Shen's fingertips and condensed into the shape of a sword.
That was the formula that Bai Wan had used before, and it was also what Chi Shen had learned during this period of time while studying the Zhong family's classics and combining it with the Bai family's development history. It was a method used by living people in the sunny world to exorcise ghosts.
Half of his body was disintegrating, and as a half-human, half-ghost, he looked extremely strange, but the golden sword in his hand was full of righteousness. The puppet that pounced on him greedily absorbed the ghost energy emanating from his body, becoming stronger and stronger, but Chi Shen didn't care at all.
As soon as he lowered his hand, the golden sword shadow cut through the surrounding puppets with the force of splitting mountains and cutting seas, and slashed directly towards Fang Man!
Fang Man's body looked extremely bloated because she had added too many external organs, but she was very agile in her movements in the ventilation duct and quickly got from one end to the other. However, her movements were fast, and Chi Shen's sword light was even faster. Fang Man was unable to dodge and her two arms were directly chopped off by the golden sword light.
"It's quite useful." Chi Shen smiled and walked forward. He waved his hand casually. This time he didn't recite any spell, but the golden sword light still appeared at his fingertips and slashed directly in the direction of his hand.
A section of the ventilation duct broke into two, and two arms fell out from the broken part. Then Fang Man quickly rushed into another ventilation duct like a noodle. Her voice came from all directions: "Chi Shen, I'm not the only one who wants you dead!"
"I know, there is also my biological father." Chi Shen said with a smile, and cut the ventilation duct section by section with his hands. More hands and eyes fell out and turned into black smoke and disappeared.
"No, that's not it, listen to me, they-"
"I know." Chi Shen stepped on a palm-sized puppet that came close to him and killed it. Then he said, "You are just stalling for time. It's not even Bai Ximing who asked you to stall for time. If he knew how much you wanted me dead, he wouldn't have found you. What he wants is to exchange my life. If I die before he exchanges my life, then he won't survive."
"Do you know what they are going to do?" Fang Man's voice came from the ventilation ducts on all sides above his head, "You are still wasting time with me!"
"Going to my house." Chi Shen said casually, and the hand that turned into dry bones pressed the head of a puppet with only half a body that was still crawling over. The puppet was torn into pieces by the overly thick ghost energy.
——
Tongfuyuan Community.
Under the festive lights, a middle-aged man followed the people returning late into the community.
The security guard at the door suddenly felt a little cold. He wrapped his coat around himself and looked outside the door.
He was a handsome middle-aged man. The security guard, who had seen countless people, could not tell his age at first. From his temperament, he felt that he was not young, but not old either. He did not swipe the door card to come in, but followed the residents of the community in. However, the security guard did not ask him. He thought that this man must not be a courier or a takeaway deliveryman. There was a large flow of people in their community, and people often forgot to bring their door cards, so they let people in and out very casually. The security guard just took a look and did not care.
The security guard looked down at the registration booklet, then looked up again and found that the middle-aged man had disappeared. The security guard suddenly frowned. He only remembered that he was a man with a very eye-catching demeanor, but now he couldn't remember what the man looked like.
However, he came into contact with too many people every day, so he thought it was normal that he couldn't remember. He didn't think about it too much and continued to look up at the people coming and going at the door.
The middle-aged man walked to Unit 4, Building 4 without any obstruction and took the elevator upstairs.
A dark figure emerged from the elevator. When it saw him come in, it ran out of the elevator through the ventilation fan like crazy.
"tasty."
A multiple chanting voice sounded beside the middle-aged man, and the human-shaped black shadow that had run halfway was forcibly pulled out of the ventilator and disappeared beside the middle-aged man.
“Everything smells delicious here.”
The sound was not made by the middle-aged man, but there was no one in the elevator at the moment, so no one paid attention.
Soon, the elevator reached the 13th floor. The middle-aged man walked out of the elevator, slowly walked to a door and knocked.
He knocked politely three times. The door made a noise and opened. A young man stood inside. He looked very ordinary and looked like a college student. He looked at the middle-aged man with some fear: "Hello?"
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted his facial expression, smiled and slapped the young man in the face, and said, "Hello, is this Chi Shen's house?"
"Yes, yes, he went out for something tonight," the young man took out his phone and checked the time with a somewhat reserved look, revealing a very apologetic expression, "He should be back soon, do you want to come in and sit down with me?"
"Okay, thank you." The middle-aged man walked into Chi Shen's home, "My name is Wenqin, what's your name?"
"Oh, my name is Zhou Xun, you can just call me Xiao Zhou." Zhou Xun smiled foolishly, "Please sit down for a moment, let me think about it, oh, I should pour you a glass of water, sorry, please wait a moment, pour water... where is the kettle in Chi Shen's house?"
Zhou Xun walked quickly to the kitchen, looked around, found the kettle, and perhaps thought he was acting too strangely, so he turned around and explained to Wen Qin: "Oh, sorry, I just got here too. This is my first time at his house, so I'm not familiar with his environment. He said he was going out tonight and asked me to help him entertain the guests. I think he asked me to wait for you, right?"
Outside the kitchen door, Wen Qin paused. He put one hand in his pocket and looked at the young man in the kitchen. He saw that the young man was busy boiling water to make tea. He waited for a while and sat down on the sofa.
His gaze fell towards Chi Shen's bedroom. It was very quiet there, almost unusually quiet.
Soon, Zhou Xun brought out two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table. One cup of tea was steaming, while the other was cold.
He looked embarrassed again: "Are two cups enough? I don't know... Well, is one cup enough for another friend? If you need, I will make two more cups of tea for you. Do you want incense ash or bone ashes? Or old blood?"
Wen Qin's expression finally changed.
"Can you see me?" The monster heads around Wen Qin poked their heads out and looked down at the young man.
Zhou Xun asked doubtfully, "Of course I can see it, otherwise why would Chi Shen ask me to entertain you?"
"Can I eat him?" the monster inquired. "He smells delicious."
Wen Qin picked up the tea and took a sip, then replied, "Whatever you want."
The monsters all laughed and leaned towards Zhou Xun: "It's delicious."
"Wait!" Zhou Xun immediately became alert. He took a step back. Although his movements were light and he only took one step, he retreated directly from the living room to the kitchen door, leaving the monster with nothing to bite.
The monster didn't care what he said. It stretched out its long neck and bit towards Zhou Xun like a multi-headed snake. If Zhou Xun retreated any further, he would be trapped in a corner. He gritted his teeth, and one of his arms suddenly turned into a shadow. The shadow quickly expanded and formed a big hand, which tightly grasped the throat of one of the monster's heads and squeezed it hard!
Click.
The neck that was being held broke directly and rolled to the ground. Red blood flowed out from the broken part, forming a large pool.
“It hurts!”
The remaining heads roared and ran towards Zhou Xun regardless of anything. The strong ghost energy exploded in the narrow living room. The glass door of the kitchen was shaken by the impact of the ghost energy. The soy sauce bottle on the stove shook twice and fell on the table.
Zhou Xun's eyes suddenly widened, and his other hand turned into a shadow, holding up the soy sauce bottle. At the same time, a frozen black shadow began to spread rapidly from behind him, enveloping the entire house in the blink of an eye.
In a moment, everything stopped shaking and became dim, as if covered by a layer of black cloth. The space seemed to become infinite, and even if one ran hard, he would never be able to run from one end of the living room to the other.
This was the ability he learned in that infinite game, spatial freezing, which was a very useful ability in puzzle games. Although they could no longer change the layout of the room after using it, they could search for clues or defeat monsters in the frozen space without worrying about the clues being destroyed.
He often thought that it might be because of this ability that Chi Shen always kept him by his side and protected him from the Infinite Game.
Today, he came here because of Chi Shen's news. Chi Shen said that he had to go out for something and needed his help to receive a special guest.
At this moment, the monster's head almost reached his face, and Zhou Xun realized it belatedly, "Damn it, Chi Shen, you lied to me again!"
