The taxi stopped at a street corner in the suburbs.
Linlin, Xiao Gao and Lao Chen got out of the car and looked at their surroundings.
"Does Brother Qi live in this kind of environment?" Xiao Gao said while checking the map on his mobile phone.
There are many bungalows nearby, and the words "HAIL" are written on the dilapidated walls.
There are not many residents, and as evening approaches, it becomes even more deserted.
The road is not easy to navigate, and the driver is unwilling to take you an extra mile.
The street lights on both sides were in disrepair and many were broken, shrouding the entire area in darkness.
"It's normal. Brother Qi seems to be the kind of person who doesn't care much about his living environment." Lao Chen said, walking in front of the three of them out of habit.
"I wonder what Brother Qi's home is like?" Linlin's voice was a little excited.
I have known Wang Qi for a while, but they don't communicate much except during live broadcasts.
In tonight's live broadcast, Wang Qi wants to popularize the transfer ceremony. The venue is where he lives, giving the three of them the opportunity to be guests.
Brother Qi also said that he would treat them to dinner.
This kind of social activity can greatly bring them closer to each other.
Although Qi Ge is usually very considerate to them, he trains them in various ways.
But they could feel that Wang Qi had always been shrouded in a layer of fog, and there was an inexplicable sense of alienation between him and them.
You have to think carefully about the words Wang Qi often says and rely on your brain to understand the meaning...
Linlin is very much looking forward to tonight's dinner party and live broadcast.
This can help them understand Wang Qi better and enter his inner world as soon as possible.
Linlin also dressed up specially to look even more beautiful.
"I wonder what kind of person the landlady that Brother Qi mentioned is." She said curiously.
In previous chats, Wang Qi mentioned that he rented a house and lived with a landlady and her son.
"I think she must be a gentle and beautiful woman." Lao Chen said with a smile, "Brother Qi is making so much money through live broadcasts now, and he continues to live in a place like this. Maybe he has some story with her..."
At this point, he let out a chuckle that all boys know, but suddenly felt a little cold on his forehead.
When she turned around, she saw Linlin staring at her unhappily.
So Lao Chen quickly raised his hands: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
As a girl, Linlin somewhat admired Wang Qi. Of course, there may be more respect in it.
Naturally, she was not happy for Old Chen to speculate on Wang Qi's life with such dirty thoughts.
However, Linlin was still a little nervous. The landlady seemed to be single...
"This is it." Xiao Gao said at this time, the three of them had arrived in front of a small single-family building.
Wang Qi's hearse is still parked in the courtyard of the small building.
This kind of car is displayed in the yard. It is estimated that Wang Qi is the only one in Qingling City. It is unmistakable.
"Although the surrounding environment is not very good, the small western-style building where Brother Qi lives is quite nice." Lao Chen said as he entered the unlocked courtyard and prepared to knock on the door.
Xiao Gao adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, scanned the surrounding environment, and suddenly frowned.
I seem to have seen this small building somewhere...
Linlin didn't think too much, straightened her clothes, held the souvenirs she brought, and put on a sweet smile on her face.
"I'm coming."
Following Wang Qi's voice and footsteps, the door opened and Wang Qi appeared in front of them.
"You are here, please come in."
"Brother Qi, good evening." Lao Chen greeted with a smile.
Linlin presented the gift in her hand and subconsciously looked into the room.
Xiao Gao retracted his thoughts and went to greet Wang Qi with a smile.
He secretly shook his head in amusement. It was probably an occupational disease and he was overthinking it.
As a member of the Spirit Management Bureau, we are often exposed to various supernatural events on weekdays, but in fact, the chances of supernatural events happening are very small.
Most people are unlikely to encounter it once in their lifetime.
Tonight's dinner party is just a very ordinary, home-style party, don't think about the things that are there and not there.
Then……
As soon as they entered the room at Wang Qi's invitation, the lights in the room suddenly began to have poor contact and flickered.
Entering the door is a corridor that connects to the kitchen at the end.
Suddenly in the light and dark, they saw the figure of a beautiful young woman.
She is very beautiful, with exquisite makeup, a long white dress and an apron, and her slightly curly hair is combed into a bun.
Maybe it was because it was rare to have guests at home, so my expression was a little nervous.
She exudes the unique charm of a mature woman.
There is also a bit of girlish cuteness and coquettishness.
She appeared at the end of the aisle and walked toward the door.
As the lights flickered on and off, the figure seemed to be constantly teleporting.
Whenever the lights came on, she would get closer to the door.
When they came to the door, the three of them saw the kitchen knife in her hand.
The blade was stained with blood.
The exorcism trio were turned to stone one after another: "..."
"Sorry, the lights here are not commonly used, and the circuit seems to have a bad connection."
Wang Qi's voice rang out. He walked to the switch next to him and pressed it a few times, returning the flashing lights to normal.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the landlady I mentioned." Wang Qi said with a smile.
Knowing that Wang Qi had guests coming today, the landlady even dressed up specially.
The expressions of the three people were dull, and even Xiao Gao, who was always rational, did not come back to his senses for a while.
"Please come in quickly. When you come here, treat it as your own home. Don't be restrained." The landlady greeted the three of them.
She found that the three of them were staring at the kitchen knife in her hand, and hurriedly explained: "Hey, look at me, I was cooking and killing chickens in the kitchen just now. It's really rude."
...Is this a disrespectful question?
As exorcists, of course they can feel the supernatural aura of the landlady.
The smile on Linlin's face had frozen.
The landlady that Wang Qi mentioned many times... is actually a ghost?
This was also far different from what she had imagined before.
It’s not too big, it doesn’t matter at all!
Lao Chen swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that he was indeed Brother Qi. Who would have thought of this...
Xiao Gao reacted first, pulled his two companions who were frozen, and walked into the house with a tense face.
The landlady warmly invited them to sit in the living room first, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.
"The place is a little rough, so don't be polite."
Wang Qi invited the three of them to sit down at the dining table in the living room, serving tea and water.
"The food will be ready later. You are in for a treat. The landlady's cooking skills are really good. I specially purchased a lot of ingredients..."
While Wang Qi was talking, a banging sound came from the kitchen.
I vaguely saw the landlady's delicate back, wielding a kitchen knife and saying hello to the chopping board.
The exorcist trio: "..."
Although they were professionally trained spirit exorcists, their faces still turned a bit pale.
"Xiao Gao, this..." Linlin whispered and looked at Xiao Gao next to her.
Xiao Gao looked at the surroundings nervously and whispered: "It's not a bad ghost... It seems that this landlady, like the orphans in Qiming Orphanage, has been transformed by Wang Qidu."
Brother Qi invited them to his home for dinner and let them meet the landlady.
I am afraid that like the orphans in Qiming Orphanage, I hope they will report to the Spiritual Management Bureau.
As expected, Brother Qi always has deep meaning in everything he does...
The landlady's supernatural level is not low.
When they first entered the house, the lights began to flicker, which was a supernatural phenomenon.
When some ghosts appear, the aura they emit can cause various abnormal phenomena, such as flashing lights, interference with radio waves, and even hallucinations.
When they were in the Hongqi Apartment Building, they encountered a ghost punching the wall, which was this kind of hallucination.
Since the landlady is not a bad ghost and still lives with Wang Qi, she must have no malicious intentions.
Maybe I was a little nervous when I saw the three exorcists just now, and that's why I accidentally triggered the supernatural phenomenon.
It is enough to show that her supernatural level is not low.
When Xiao Gao let go of his mind and tried his best to make up his mind, Wang Qi sat down across the dining table after finishing his work, and started making home-made things with a smile.
"How are you these two days?"
"Well, everything is fine..." Xiao Gao said simply.
After the last live broadcast, the Bureau of Spirit Management has made corresponding arrangements based on Wang Qi’s popular science in the live broadcast.
The supernatural incident on the last bus of Route 404 is confirmed to be a rumor made up on the Internet due to a conflict between the passengers and the driver due to dissatisfaction.
Those who knew the driver and the passengers in the car were also comforted.
Xiao Gao was originally going to casually tell Wang Qi about these actions of the Spirit Management Bureau while chatting.
I don’t mean anything else, I just hope Wang Qi can understand the good intentions of the Spiritual Management Bureau.
But in this situation, Xiao Gao couldn't talk about these things for a while.
"Shiyu has now joined our team and is responsible for helping you manage the fan base." Linlin said at this time, she and Li Shiyu have been in contact these days.
Li Shiyu made the second choice and learned about the existence of supernatural beings.
Now he is a peripheral member of the Spiritual Administration Bureau.
For this kind of member, the Spiritual Management Bureau usually arranges some tasks within its capabilities for her.
Li Shiyu’s job is to assist Wang Qi’s popular science live broadcast.
Now that Wang Qi is becoming more and more famous, he not only has public accounts such as Weibo, but also fans have to run them.
It just so happens that Li Shiyu's university major is public administration, which is suitable for this.
"Then I should pay her some wages." Wang Qi also looked happy.
I am also run by professional fans, and my live broadcast business is really getting more and more prosperous.
"No need." Linlin shook her head.
Now the Bureau of Spiritual Management pays Li Shiyu a salary, which is considered a very generous part-time job.
It's much more than what she usually earns as a tutor.
"That won't work. You have to express your feelings to some extent." Wang Qi insisted.
You can't let fans work for you in vain, he is not that kind of unscrupulous boss!
Speaking of which...the income from live broadcasts has been getting higher and higher recently. Although the three employees in front of me are not short of money, they still need to increase their wages.
The boss earns around 200,000 yuan for a live broadcast, and one thousand workers for a month.
It's a bit inhumane to say the least...
Linlin was about to tell Wang Qi that the Bureau of Spiritual Management would give Li Shiyu a salary, but suddenly she felt her legs were cold under the table, and her train of thought was temporarily interrupted.
So Linlin looked down at the table strangely.
He happened to meet a pair of big black eyes unexpectedly.
A little boy with a watermelon head and pale skin, holding a toy car in his hand, squatted under the table and stared at her motionless.
"..."
Linlin took a deep breath and smiled numbly on her face.
He raised his head tremblingly, then looked down again after a few seconds.
The little boy was still squatting there, looking up at her.
He even opened his gaping mouth and smiled at her.
