"I promised not to come back..." Ghost Face muttered, then he remembered something and was suddenly shocked, "Don't either of you hope that Ji Xingchen No. 2 exists?"
He looked at the deep room in horror, then dived into the water tank and opened his eyes wide at the bottom of the water.
In the bedroom.
Wen Qin's half body was covered in blood, and there were ghost remains around him. As one ghost was overwhelmed and defeated by the blood, another ghost emerged from the floor, wall, and ceiling. Some of them had only one head, while others had several heads. Every face was distorted and painful.
Several of the red lines hanging Ji Xingchen No. 2 were broken. The last few red lines were stretched straight and taut, with blood flowing on each line. It seemed that they would break at any time, making him look shaky on the wall.
"Oh, you're back?"
The ghosts crawling out of the ground suddenly stopped. Wen Qin turned his head to look in the direction of the terrace and said in a very cold tone: "It seems that I have raised another useless thing."
He opened the bedroom door, easily cut off the ghost hand that stretched out from the cabinet to block him, and left through the front door. The ghosts crawling on the ground disappeared one after another, and those that did not have time to disappear were quickly shattered by blood and turned into black ghost energy and dissipated.
When Chi Shen came in through the window, the bedroom door shook, indicating that someone had just left.
Chi Shen didn't even look at the bedroom door, but rushed directly towards Ji Xingchen No. 2.
He first took a look at Ji Xingchen's chest to make sure that the heart was fine, then looked at the few remaining red strings soaked in blood. He untied the broken red strings and tied up Ji Xingchen No. 2 again.
The blood on the ground slowly receded, and the ghost's still wriggling corpse and the remaining ghostly aura were swept away by the blood and disappeared into the corner of the room.
Chi Shen's expression was more serious than ever. The bedroom was quiet, except for the sound of the clothes rubbing against each other when Chi Shen tied up Ji Xingchen No. 2. Neither Ji Xingchen No. 2 nor Ji Xingchen made any sound.
When Ji Xingchen No. 2 was hung upside down on the bed in a new posture, Chi Shen admired it for a while, and then his expression softened a little. Then he knocked on the door of the cabinet next to him, and the ghost energy slipped from his pale and slender fingers and flowed into the cabinet like smoke. Soon the cabinet door was opened, and the cabinet ghost's severed arm grew longer again, and he had a new arm.
The cabinet ghost thanked Chi Shen and then closed the cabinet door.
After everything was done, Chi Shen picked up his phone and Zhang Yao called at this time.
Zhang Yao always calls him when he picks up the phone. Chi Shen is not surprised by this. After all, Zhang Yao's ability is to see the future. He picks up the phone at this time, which means he is signaling Zhang Yao - now, he wants to hear an explanation.
"At this point, you chose a future where he still exists," Zhang Yao's weak and erratic voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "It seems that he is very important to you."
Chi Shen asked in a calm voice: "What about you, which future did you choose?"
Zhang Yao did not answer immediately. She was silent for a moment and then said, "The disrupted order needs to be re-established. Either you or Wen Qin has the ability to do so. If nothing unexpected happens, I will choose you."
"So, what was the accident?"
"You will return to the place where you are most disgusting, and Ji Xingchen will disappear."
"A future without him?"
"Choose you, no."
Chi Shen suddenly laughed: "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Shen turned around and saw Ji Xingchen coming out from the shadows, standing aside, just looking at him quietly.
His eyes had regained clarity, and his gaze towards Chi Shen was calm.
Chi Shen looked away: "Zhang Yao's ability is foresight. She can see the future timeline and different choices - just like playing an RPG game with a guide, he can see the outcome of each choice."
"Yeah." Ji Xingchen responded.
"Don't worry. Although she has the ability to predict the future, she is not omniscient. All abilities are limited. The future she sees is calculated based on the information she has learned. This kind of calculation consumes a huge amount of energy. We have estimated that if she wants to know everything, her body will be consumed first, and she will die before she can tell what she has seen. Therefore, the future she can predict now is the easiest and least deviated future."
"Okay, I understand." Ji Xingchen's mouth corners suddenly curled up and he smiled.
Chi Shen looked at him and laughed. He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing too.
“Let it be!”
Chi Shen very naturally went to the refrigerator to get a drink, sat down on the terrace outside, and brewed one for Ji Xingchen.
The two of them sat on the terrace and began to review the situation under the dim light of the plum tree.
"Now it is known that if he disappears, you will also disappear. The two of you are actually one." Chi Shen said.
Ji Xingchen nodded: "So I have to remember everything, but at that time, I'm not sure if I can still control myself, or if I'm still the person I am now."
Chi Shen was silent for a moment, then said: "You know what I want to do."
Ji Xingchen replied: "I know - but whether it's me or him, our attitude towards you is the same. You are the one who brought us out of the darkness."
Chi Shen took a sip of his drink and was not in a very good mood: "Next, I have to deal with my troublesome father."
"Everything went as planned and there were no accidents." Ji Xingchen said.
"I don't know if my father has any way to cut off the connection between you." Chi Shen said again.
"I don't think so, but you can try." Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses coldly, "After all, I have existed independently for almost two years and have not been affected by him in any way. I think this connection can be cut off, and then I can get rid of him."
They discussed in a very calm tone, and a little blood flowed out from the corner of the terrace in the night.
Even Gui Lian could sense the special ghostly aura. He had been lying at the bottom of the water tank, not intentionally eavesdropping. Anyway, after listening to what Chi Shen and Ji Xingchen said, he felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he jumped out from the bottom of the water tank: "It's not good for you to do this. The person involved, no, the body of the person involved is still listening here, and you are discussing how to make him disappear. Isn't this wrong? And isn't Ji Xingchen No. 2 you yourself? Why can you say such a thing as getting rid of him so calmly? Don't you have any conscience?"
The bloody red blood crawled out from all directions, surging under the flower pots and around the edges of the trees, but did not approach Chi Shen and Ji Xingchen.
Chi Shen looked around calmly, and the blood returned to calm.
"It seems that I have to add one more thing to do during the New Year. After dealing with my troublesome father, I will ask him if he can lock you in the old house and if there is any way to separate you from your body."
After saying that, he stretched and stood up: "I have to go out for a while and will be back later."
Chi Shen walked in slowly with the empty drink bottle. When he was about to enter the door, he suddenly remembered something and looked back at Ji Xingchen: "You said I acted on my own initiative before, but now I want to ask you, are you willing?"
Ji Xingchen looked at him, his eyes as calm as ever, but his voice was firm: "I am."
Chi Shen laughed.
