I deliver food in a bizarre world

Chen Mo leaned against the doorway, arms crossed: "Yes, this gray fog is yin energy. The thicker the gray fog, the stronger the yin energy, and the more powerful the thing that exists there is."

Li Haojie chimed in, "I didn't detect any malice... According to Brother Mo, it must be the obsession of a kind person before their death. Could it be... Grandma Wang's husband?"

He looked to the side and asked, "Brother Fan, should I do it?"

Su Yifan shrugged: "You do it, my spirituality is not as good as yours."

Li Haojie set up a simple calming arrangement in the living room, using several mild materials commonly found in his studio, such as agarwood, angelica, cinnabar, sake, and apples.

These materials are very common and have calming properties, and are often used as materials and mediums for such rituals.

These are basic knowledge that Chen Mo had taught everyone long ago; they are relatively rudimentary forms of ritual.

Then, carrying a bowl of wood ash water, he walked to the bathroom door where the residual energy was strongest. As he sprinkled the water, he concentrated his mind and mobilized the spiritual energy within his body, saying:

"Grandpa Wang, you can go in peace. Grandma Wang is doing well. This is no longer a place for you to stay..."

Infused with spirituality, his voice seemed to possess a peculiar power, and the pale gray mist began to ripple slowly.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, it gradually faded like wisps of smoke scattered by the wind, eventually disappearing completely into the air.

"It's all done?" Zhou Mingyu was a little confused; this was the first time he had ever seen anything like this.

"Let's check it again." Chen Mo remained noncommittal.

After everyone circled around again and found nothing else unusual, they confirmed that the incident was over.

Li Wenjing explained the situation in detail to Grandma Wang outside the door.

Upon hearing that it was her husband's obsession, Grandma Wang couldn't hold back any longer, so Li Wenjing had no choice but to continue to patiently comfort her.

After a while of fussing around, everyone finally headed home.

The five of them had initially discussed not accepting the money, but Grandma Wang insisted on giving it to them, and they couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to accept it.

Leaving the residential area, it was still early. They were extremely efficient; the entire process took only about ten minutes.

Sitting in the back seat, Li Haojie was still somewhat unsatisfied: "I thought we were going to have a big battle."

"After all, it's my spouse's obsession. We've lived together for so long. It's not some kind of malice. You can understand it as him being worried about his loved ones, like a dream..." Su Yifan explained.

"Handling these kinds of incidents doesn't always have to involve fighting," Li Wenjing, the passenger, chimed in. "I actually hope that all problems can be resolved peacefully, with minimal cost. That's what professionalism is all about."

Lin Xiao nodded silently, agreeing with her point of view.

He was also very satisfied with the clean and efficient actions of everyone involved.

"I'll discuss this with Brother Mo later and see how to awaken the spirituality of ordinary people. Otherwise, the fact that only A-Jie and Yi-Fan can see these things is always a drawback for our team."

"Hey, it wasn't that hard after all!" Li Haojie, sitting in the back row, was beaming with pride as he began to boast to his teammates about his experience. "You guys didn't feel it, at that moment, my spirituality was like...like warm sunshine!"

Su Yifan mercilessly exposed his secret: "Come on, I don't know about the others, but I was right behind you. Who almost walked backwards? If it weren't for Brother Mo blocking the door, I bet you would have turned around and run away first."

Li Haojie covered his face: "..."

The car was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Back in the studio, after Li Wenjing finished processing and archiving the remaining documents, everyone gathered together to start dividing the money.

After deducting costs, the studio takes 30% as collective funds, leaving a little over 30,000 yuan.

Because Li Haojie contributed the most, he received 10,000, while the remaining four each received 20,000.

That night, Chen Mo led everyone to continue with their simple weekly routine, and also started a live stream.

The chat was filled with complaints, with many saying that Chen Mo had become much more aloof since becoming a top streamer, no longer delivering food and streaming less...

Chen Mo stated frankly that he has been leading his studio team members recently, without taking on any projects or exploration progress, and has even been playing games very little lately.

The live chat erupted with jokes, with many expressing their desire to join Chen Mo's team.

Chen Mo also stated that he currently has no plans to expand his team.

He also said that this pace needs to be maintained for some time, and if things go smoothly, he can return to his previous state in one or two weeks.

Having completed their mission and reaped a windfall of spirit money, Chen Mo and the others returned home.

On Saturday morning, the sunlight was more languid than usual.

Chen Mo was awakened by the sparrows outside the window.

After washing up, the sizzling sound of frying eggs came from the kitchen.

Chen Mo walked over and saw Chen Xing frying eggs.

Seeing Chen Mo approach, Chen Xing tried to show off, but his hand slipped and the egg flew out, landing right at Chen Mo's feet.

Chen Mo: ...

Chen Xing: ...

"Clumsy, clean it up!" Chen Mo took the tools and skillfully cracked two eggs.

"Hehe, you do it." Chen Xing scratched his head, not feeling embarrassed at all, and pulled out a few kitchen wipes.

After cleaning up, he leaned closer and looked at him expectantly: "Are we really going to see Master Song today?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I visited my teacher. Let's eat quickly, it'll still be more than an hour's drive!" Chen Mo scooped the fried egg onto a plate, took out some bread, and poured two glasses of milk.

Chen Xing instantly perked up, quickly finished his breakfast, and rushed back to his room.

When he came out again, he had changed into a neat tracksuit and had even rinsed his hair with water.

"Look at my appearance, don't I look like a martial arts prodigy?"

Chen Mo looked him up and down and said, "Hmm, looks like an old man going to the park for his morning exercise."

"Tch, tasteless!" Chen Xing rolled his eyes.

As the car drove out of the city, the high-rise buildings gradually gave way to low-rise residential buildings and lush trees.

Finally, they stopped at the end of a quiet alley in the outskirts of the city.

This is Cuiping District of Jinghai City, located at the foot of Tushan Mountain in the southwest of the city. It is named after the emerald green color of the mountain and its shape resembling a screen.

This area is a traditional scenic resort area and a high-end villa area, mainly developed with low density. The environment is excellent, but the only drawback is that it is far from the city center and somewhat remote.

Deep in an alley, there is an inconspicuous courtyard gate.

Above the door hangs an old wooden plaque with a single character carved in vigorous strokes: "守" (shǒu, meaning "to guard").

Chen Mo pushed open the slightly ajar wooden door, and Chen Xing followed closely behind.

What comes into view is a small and exquisite courtyard, with bluestone paving the way, craggy rockery in the corner, and a few koi carp leisurely swaying their tails in a pool of clear water.

The subtle scent of sandalwood and fresh herbs permeated the air, creating a world apart from the hustle and bustle outside.

An elderly man, dressed in a gray cotton-linen training uniform, with his white hair neatly combed, was slowly practicing his boxing in the courtyard with his back to them.

His movements were graceful and fluid, with a unique rhythm, as if he were one with his surroundings.
