"It's raining, go home quickly!"
The ghost face had floated into the scenic river. There were three children aged four or five playing by the river. Their parents were calling them to go home. He was floating on the river, sighing and looking at the sky.
"Home? Ghosts can't have homes. My final destination is underwater. Everyone else has been liberated. Even stupid female ghosts who know nothing can be liberated. What about me? I work so hard, watching videos all day and night, why can't I do that?"
The current brought Guimian closer to the shore, and his sight fell on the children. One of them had already run to the water's edge.
"Is it because I was just watching a video before? Or is it a dream? Is it because it's all fake that I can't be happy? If someone really drowned in front of me..."
The child by the water cried out loudly: "My excavator fell into the water, wow - excavator, excavator!"
He watched the kid fall into the water after chasing the excavator.
This is a scenic river. There is no fast-flowing water, and the water level at the riverside is not deep. The adult who came to pick up the child is not far away, so the child is probably fine. But if he goes over and drags the child into the river, the child will most likely drown.
He floated below the child.
What would happen if Chi Shen knew that he did this? Would he never be able to go back? Gui Lian suddenly thought of this question.
The plastic excavator toy that had floated away came back, and the ghost face spread itself out, holding the child and floating upwards.
The child looked a little confused. He didn't even cry when the adults who came over grabbed him. He turned his head to look at the river and reached out to grab his excavator. When he saw the excavator floating over, he quickly grabbed it and held it in his arms. Then he stretched out his hand underwater: "Uncle, hold my hand quickly, I will save you!"
The adults who came over were also stunned and asked him, "What uncle?"
"There was an uncle in the water, he saved me! But he fell in, I have to save him too!" The child said firmly in his tender voice, "Uncle, grab my hand, quick!"
The ghost face sank to the bottom of the water. He looked at the chubby little hand stretched out to him. The pale ghost face, which was always frowning, suddenly showed a smile. Then he smiled sincerely and stretched out his hand to the child.
Hey, why does he have hands?
"Did you play here with an uncle just now?" the adult picked the child up from the water and asked the child next to him.
The other two children shook their heads.
The adult looked into the river again. The water in the middle of the night looked dark and a little scary. His expression suddenly changed. He held the child and bowed to the river: "Thank you, River God, for saving my baby. Thank you, River God, thank you, River God."
Then he taught the child, "Hurry up and thank the river god uncle."
The child stretched out his hand and waved: "Thank you, Uncle River God!"
But the child was looking at the sky.
The ghost face floated above the river. He watched the adults holding the children and waved to the children as a farewell. However, they did not notice that the falling rain, even though it was not blocked by the umbrella, did not fall on them.
The ghost face was different at this time. Under his pale skin, a white robe like water waves appeared. He remembered that he was not a drowned ghost at all, or rather, he was not a ghost at all!
He is just a collection of resentment from those who drowned in Hong Kong City, so he has no body and no memories, only the painful face when he drowned, because he has never lived, he has never been a human being!
Every person who forms resentment when drowning, what they hope for is that when they are about to die, someone will rescue them from the water. All they want is a hand that can reach into the water to save them.
Therefore, his wish was not to see the painful expression of others when they were drowning, but to hope that someone could rescue him from the river.
This wish came true today.
The ghost face grew limbs. Although those limbs were hidden in the robe and were still slender, they looked like a human being. The moment he obtained his own redemption, his resentment dissipated and he turned into the spirit of the river.
“Hoo—hahaha!”
The stars are low and the sea and sky are vast.
The newly-formed river spirit felt extremely happy. He laughed out loud, circled on the river surface, then soared high into the sky.
It started raining in the bustling port city.
Between the tall buildings, pedestrians on the street were hit on the heads by the sudden rain. Although they took shelter in time, they suddenly felt an unknown sadness.
Someone suddenly started crying.
His friend looked at him strangely: "Isn't what I just said funny? Why are you crying?"
"I don't know. I just... I suddenly felt like crying. I was so sad. I don't know why I was sad, but I was just so sad."
"When you put it that way, I feel a little sad too. Why does the rain look like it's crying..."
Suddenly, a wind carrying the fishy smell of the river beach blew over, but this wind brought joy, and the inexplicable melancholy just now was swept away.
"Don't be so hypocritical, this is just ordinary rain. Have you read too many youth romance novels recently? The rain is crying, hahaha!"
In a place that people cannot see, the white river spirit circled and rushed into the sky. He was very happy at the moment. He wanted to circle and dance freely in the rain. He wanted to re-acquaint himself with this world that once made him suffer, but now made him feel so beautiful.
The river spirit is originally the spirit of water. The transparent crying face falling from the sky landed on him. Not only did it have no effect on him, but even when it passed over the trace where he flew, the crying face was also infected by his happiness. That was the happiness of thousands of souls being redeemed. The crying face quickly twisted and disappeared on the water droplets and turned into ordinary raindrops falling on the ground. This sad rain was unintentionally purified by the river spirit.
After circling in the air for several circles, He Ling finally came out of his selfless state. He began to want to share his happiness. He wanted to tell the clouds, the rain, and... the little friend who once took him in.
He began to look for Chi Shen. He thought Chi Shen might not look for him, but at this moment he wanted to tell Chi Shen that he had been redeemed and turned from a collection of resentment into a river spirit.
He went back to where the building collapsed, but Chi Shen was gone.
As the heavy rain fell, Chi Shen saw a door slowly appearing in the sky. At that moment, he showed a gloomy look he had never had before.
Before Chi Shen went to find the people from the Special Security Bureau, he discussed with Ji Xingchen what Wen Qin wanted to do.
This matter was easy to come to a conclusion. Chi Shen had read the documents of the Zhong family, Ji Xingchen had recalled some of his memories, and there was the existence of Zhang Yao, the plug-in version, to consult. Without spending much money, they deduced that Wen Qin wanted to open the door to the death game.
Although Chi Shen and his teammates went through life and death before finally finding a way out, it is not surprising that some people want to go in. After all, they have gained power beyond ordinary people in there, although the price they paid is also very heavy.
Moreover, Chi Shen also deduced that the world of the death game might not be as simple as they thought. The purpose of the death game might not really kill them, but to select one or several people among them.
No one knows what kind of accident happened. The game did not reveal its true purpose, but instead let them leave without knowing anything.
However, Chi Shen did not delve into this issue with Ji Xingchen. Their main concern was to find Wen Qin's purpose and come up with a solution.
They also deduced under what circumstances the door to the Death Game would open.
When performing a ritual to save the souls of powerful ghosts, the door of the death game will actually appear, but this door is not fully open. It usually only allows the ghosts to pass through and then closes. Obviously, Wen Qin does not want to turn himself into a ghost and pass through that door, so he wants to find a powerful ghost to open the door, and open the door wide enough and for long enough so that he can find a way to pass through.
The person who meets these conditions and can be controlled by Wen Qin is naturally Ji Xingchen.
Therefore, Chi Shen had made some arrangements with Ji Xingchen and Ji Xingchen No. 2 in advance, so that even if Ji Xingchen remembered everything, he would not completely lose control in a short period of time and could hold on until he came back.
But at this moment the door appeared.
Chi Shen immediately thought that something was wrong with Ji Xingchen, and he wanted to go back to find him.
The lights around him dimmed, the sounds faded away, he took a step forward, the scenery around him changed suddenly, and he was standing in his own home.
There was no one in the house, and there was no sign of a fight. Only a noise was heard from the cupboard. The cupboard ghost opened the cupboard and pointed to the sky.
That's where the white door opens.
