The waltz music is replaced by a slow and melodious dance music.
Chi Zao raised his eyes and looked at the jealous man in front of him. He was helpless and amused: "The watch given to the third senior brother has the effect of warding off evil spirits, but your physique cannot use it at all. Next time, I will choose a gift that suits you.
"
"When is the next time?"
A dark color flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes, and he looked at her with burning eyes.
Chi Zao thought for a while, "Waiting for your birthday."
"good."
…
A few dance songs ended.
The Shang family, headed by Shang Xunting, brought Shang Xunming and several other juniors and appeared in the banquet hall again.
As they exchanged glasses of wine and exchanged cups, Brother Shang Xunting was surrounded by the crowd.
Other family members of the same generation as the two would naturally not miss this good opportunity to build a relationship. However, they did not dare to surround Shang Xunting and could only surround themselves with other members of the Shang family. Their thoughts were on Shang Xunting.
Unfortunately, Shang Xunting only stayed for a while and then left.
The attention paid to Chi Zao decreased due to the appearance of Shang Xunming and others.
The flattering words in the banquet hall still hit my ears.
Chi Zao didn't like this scene.
She looked at Xiao Yu and suggested: "Shall we go outside and get some fresh air?"
Xiao Yu nodded: "Okay."
Shangjia Manor covers a large area.
There is an open garden in the front yard and a large horse training ground in the backyard.
However, Chi Zao finally chose to go back to the swimming pool to check if there were any clues about the water ghost.
Because there was a lot of commotion at the swimming pool not long ago.
In order to prevent other guests from entering by mistake, the Shang family ordered people to close the swimming pool and sent people to guard it.
Chi Zao thought for a moment and sent a text message to his third senior brother, telling her that he wanted to check on the swimming pool.
As soon as the message was sent, a 'ding' sound came from Chi Zao's ear.
The system light curtain pops up.
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission: Where is the evil ghost in the swimming pool. Completion reward: 100 mall gift certificates and a carousel draw."
"Reminder from Hades: The host is asked to find the evil ghost in the swimming pool before dawn, neutralize the evil spirit of the evil ghost, and send it to the gate of reincarnation. The difficulty of this task is five stars."
Chi Zao's brows jumped.
The hidden mission is here again.
Still five stars?
She frowned slightly.
It seemed that the ghost in the swimming pool was more difficult to deal with than she thought.
She looked at the time again, it was now eleven o'clock, not yet early in the morning.
There are at least seven hours until the task deadline.
The difficult thing is not how to turn the ghost into a violent spirit, but how to find the ghost.
Originally, she asked Xiaoyun to track it, but the evil spirit evaded tracking very cunningly. Xiaoyun only remembered that there was a glowing skull where the evil spirit finally disappeared...
Thinking of this, she said hello to Xiao Yu, walked to a corner alone, and let Xiao Yun out again.
"Do you still remember the direction in which you tracked that ghost just now?" Chi Zao asked.
Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly, "Remember! But does my sister want to go with me? But it's very small and narrow there, and it's underwater. My sister can't go there."
"I won't go, but I need you to find the place with the glowing skull."
"good!"
Xiaoyun was so full of energy that she turned into a red light and got into the swimming pool.
To be honest, where is this evil ghost escaping now? Finding its traces is like looking for a needle in a haystack. No wonder the system's hidden mission took several hours to complete.
Chi Zao was thinking about it, and then thought about Xiao Yu's previous call to ask Yan Fei to check the direction of underground water flow in the manor.
Without bothering to call Yan Fei to ask, she directly sent a message to Shang Xunting, saying that she would leave early.
Shang Xunting replied: [Okay, see you at Yunxuanmen tomorrow. 】
Chi Zao: [Hmm.]
The banquet is almost over.
It wouldn't be rude if she left early.
Chi Zao and Xiao Yu walked out of the manor and came to the parking area.
Yan Fei, who was in the car, saw the two people coming out and quickly got out of the car: "Master, Miss Chi, are you going back?"
"Wait a minute. Where is the thing I asked you to check just now?" Xiao Yu understood that Chi Zao's behavior by the pool was to investigate the swimming pool incident, so he decided to leave the banquet early.
Yan Fei opened the car door for the two of them, got in the car himself, and said, "I got a sewer distribution map in Kyoto."
He held the tablet and operated it quickly.
Finally, he opened his drawing, enlarged it, and handed it to Xiao Yu and Chi Zao in the back seat: "Master, Miss Chi, take a look."
Chi Zao took the tablet and looked at it carefully.
Yan Fei further explained: "Based on the regional classification, the Shangjia Manor is not in the heart of Kyoto, but in the third ring of Kyoto. The flow of their sewers leads to the wastewater treatment plant on the south side of the outskirts of Kyoto."
Chi Zao looked at the distribution map of the underground passages. From the Shangjia Manor to the wastewater treatment plant, there were at least three branch lines converging. It was difficult to find the direction in which the evil spirits fled based on the direction of the underground water flow alone.
Suddenly, she remembered something, opened the door, got out of the car and walked towards the Shang family manor.
Xiao Yu followed her, "What's wrong?"
Chi Zao frowned: "I just overlooked one thing. It's that thing in the swimming pool. Why does it appear in the Shang family swimming pool? What is its purpose here?"
It turns out that she left a mark on the evil spirit, and as long as the evil spirit comes close to her, she will be able to detect it.
But after tonight's swimming pool incident, she hadn't noticed the evil ghost's approach, and Xiaoyun's tracking made her subconsciously think that the evil ghost had left the manor.
Thinking of this, Chi Zao called Xiaoyun back directly.
Xiaoyun didn't go very far and came back soon.
But because there was Xiao Yu standing next to Chi Zao.
From Xiaoyun's perspective, it felt like the man next to Chi Zao was wrapped in a ball of evil energy as fierce as a blazing flame. The evil energy was dark and rich, constantly overflowing outwards. Whenever he came even a little closer, he would feel a burning and uncomfortable feeling all over his body.
.
"elder sister……"
Xiaoyun could only stand aggrievedly about ten meters away from Chizao.
Chi Zao felt that it was too troublesome to let Xiao Yu go away, so he directly sent a message to Xiao Yun: "Take the water route and check the entire manor. If there is anything unusual, tell me immediately."
"good!"
Xiaoyun quickly entered the Shang family manor again.
And Chi Zao took a few talismans and prepared to set up several trigger formations in the manor.
The fact that she and Xiao Yu left and returned did not alarm anyone in the manor.
The security guards at the manor saw that the two were wearing formal clothes and did not stop them from going there.
Chi Zao and Xiao Yu toured the entire manor.
It was confirmed that there was no Yin Gathering Formation maliciously set up in Shangjia Manor.
until--
"Sister! I found something abnormal!"
Xiaoyun's excited voice sounded in Chi Zao's mind.
Chi Zao: "Where?"
"This side of the horse training ground pool!"
Chi Zao told him not to go away, lifted up his skirt, pulled Xiao Yu and ran towards the horse training ground.
The horse training ground is not an open area for tonight's banquet. The lights are dim and there is only one figure.
It was Shang Xunming who found the banquet boring and came out to feed his beloved horse.
As soon as Shang Xunming came out of the stable with his beloved horse, he saw Chi Zao approaching. He was about to say hello, but first he heard her shout: "Don't move."
Shang Xunming: "???"
Shang Xunming was stunned and really didn't dare to move.
Not only that, he also felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
Little did I know.
At this moment, Xiaoyun was sitting on his neck, pointing at the horse's back and shouting to Chi Zao:
"Sister, it's the saddle on this horse that glows like the skull I saw!"
