The development of the plot is completely beyond imagination.

Xu Qingchuan was stunned, Wen Chuchu was stunned, and the narrator was completely silent.

The person in the room was so frightened that his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, making a muffled plop.

Bai Shuangxing retracted the phone when he heard the voice, and after only a second, he showed a surprised expression:

"Is there anyone in there? I knocked on the door for so long and didn't respond. I thought it was an empty house. Sorry, are you okay?"

Xu Qingchuan: ...

He bet the man's surprise was fake.

Wen Chuchu: ...

Acting as if, so natural!

The man's appearance should have been Gods can't know, ghosts can't see, full of spooky horror, but it was disturbed by Bai Shuangxing, and it turned into a scream.

It was very embarrassing.

The room was quiet for a long time, and after a while, the iron door was slowly opened.

The middle-aged man inside the door looked about forty years old, with slender eyes and a bloated body. It was unknown whether he was frightened or angry, and his face was ashen.

Bai Shuangxing met his eyes, showing a slightly apologetic smile: "Hello, we have received an invitation letter to apply for Master Baili's closed disciple. Are you...?"

"This building is mine."

The man tried his best to restrain his embarrassment and anger: "Master Baili is my cousin, and she lives here temporarily."

"It turned out to be the landlord."

Bai Shuangxing: "Sorry, the phone was accidentally shaken just now, did it scare you?"

Accidentally, it shook a bit.

The landlord couldn't hold back, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

How did this woman act so nonchalantly?Who in a normal person would set up a mobile phone interface as a ghost picture, and deliberately go to other people's door?

He is angry.

But the self-esteem of an adult told him that he couldn't get angry——

He was so scared by a picture that he screamed and fell down. He would never let other people know about the embarrassment of being thrown at his grandma's house.

"fine."

The middle-aged man twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled honestly: "I stepped on the water on the ground and accidentally fell, it has nothing to do with you."

Bai Shuangxing cooperated with his performance: "That's it, then I can rest assured."

The landlord responded with a hehe.

Although he lied first and admitted that he slipped and stepped on water, seeing Bai Shuangxing with his own eyes has nothing to do with his high-hanging appearance...

What to do if you get even more angry!

calm down.

The middle-aged man closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Come in."

He didn't want to talk to this group of people, and introduced indifferently like going through the motions:

"My cousin is not feeling well recently, and she is recuperating in her room. I will take you to see her. Remember, keep quiet and don't make trouble."

Master Baili was unwell.

In Bai Ye's survival challenge, he often doesn't give too much useless information, so Bai Shuangxing silently writes it down and looks up at the scene in the house.

After entering the door, there is a narrow and dark corridor with no lights on, so it is very quiet.

The white walls are mottled and covered with dead gray.I don't know if it's an illusion, but the further you go, the colder the surrounding temperature becomes.

"My cousin lives on the second floor."

The landlord walked ahead: "Follow closely."

Needle drop can be heard in the corridor, and only the footsteps of a group of people can be heard. Walking to the second floor, Baishuangxing smells more and more sandalwood.

Wen Chuchu beside her also seemed to feel cold, and silently tightened her collar.

The layout of this building is similar to that of a hotel. The second floor is crossed by a straight corridor, and four rooms are arranged on both sides of the corridor.

Without saying a word, the landlord knocked on the door on the left.

Strange to say, there was clearly no one behind the door, but when there was a knock on the door, the anti-theft door unlocked by itself and opened wide.

Wen Chuchu exclaimed in a low voice, the landlord was used to this, and pushed open the door.

There is a room and a hall inside the door, the hall is lit, and the bedroom door is closed tightly, silently.

Just as in Bai Shuangxing's imagination, the house of "Master Baili" displays dazzling magical instruments and talismans, and a jade Guanyin is placed on the wooden table in the center.

The light was dim yellow, as light and misty as mist, which set off the Bodhisattva's benevolent brows and kind eyes, revealing a slight glow like warm glaze.Wen Chuchu, who was tense all over, obviously relaxed a lot when she saw it.

There was no one in the living room, so the landlord stepped forward and called softly, "Cousin, someone is here."

There seems to be a wind blowing in the room, and it seems dead silent like a quagmire.

Bai Shuang followed the prestige and heard a "squeak".

——Beside the living room, the door of the bedroom is faintly opened with a slender gap, from which more intense sandalwood oozes out, and a weak female voice with insufficient breath: "Mmm."

Bai Shuangxing, Wen Chuchu and Xu Qingchuan froze at the same time.

In the synopsis of the plot, it is clearly mentioned that Master Baili has "caught ghosts and exorcised evil spirits for decades", not to mention his age, but according to common sense, he must be a middle-aged man.

However, the voice was soft and gentle, as if it came from a young girl in her twenties.

"If you feel unwell, you will not be able to welcome guests from afar."

The gap in the door is so small that they can't see the scene in the room clearly, so they can only hear the woman say:

"I have read the resumes you sent, and they are all good, but there is only one person who can be selected in the end... You all know this, right?"

Xu Qingchuan: "Clear."

The other party smiled slightly.

"To enter my school, one must take exorcising evil and ghosts as one's duty. This is not an easy task. There were so many people flocking to it, but what happened? Most of them were scared when they saw ghosts.Forgot your identity."

A few wisps of white smoke slowly drifted away from the door, bringing the woman to murmur weakly: "To do this job, courage, calmness and adaptability are essential. I have prepared three trials for you."

coming.

Bai Shuangxing's mind moved and he concentrated.

The main task of this white night challenge is to complete these three trials.

"The two realms of yin and yang are clearly separated, but sometimes, through some methods, living people can also connect to the underworld."

Master Baili said slowly: "There are many ways to see ghosts in folk rumors. I have collected three, but I don't know whether they are true or not. What you have to do is to try them one by one to distinguish which is true and which is false."

that's it?

Xu Qingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there are true ones and false ones, there are at most only two trials where ghosts will be encountered.

Even more fortunately, the only requirement for the trial is "Damn", they don't need to deliberately die, do some stupid things that provoke hatred, and thus be chased and killed by ghosts.

It is indeed a challenge of primary difficulty.

Thinking about it this way, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed: "Which trials? Master, please tell me."

"First, the pen fairy. Second, worship. Third, chasing the moon."

The woman's voice became weaker and weaker: "Cough... A Tao, give them the paper."

The landlord standing by the door obediently raised his hand, took out a few folded rice papers from his pocket, and handed them out to the three of them one by one.

Hoarfrost opened it.

A few paragraphs of words were written on the paper with a calligraphy brush like traveling clouds and startling dragons.

"The Hell's Way"

[One invites the pen fairy: At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, several people hold a pen together and say together "Ben fairy, pen fairy, you are my past life, and I am your present life. If there is a destiny in this life, please draw a circle on the paper".】

"Second offering: There are many wandering spirits in the cemetery. Light white candles in the cemetery at midnight, and place steamed buns next to the white candles, and homeless hungry ghosts will come to eat."

"Attachment: The cemetery is located due north of No. 444, about 500 meters away."

"Three chasing the moon: at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, stand in a place where Yin Qi gathers (such as a cemetery, a haunted house), and walk forty-four steps toward the moon."

"Come see me when you're done."

Master Baili said: "The first person who answers correctly will become my closed disciple. If you have nothing else to do, please go back."

This is an obvious order to chase away guests. Xu Qingchuan read the content on the paper word by word, and his heart sank.

... Careless.

The content of this trial seems to be not as simple as he imagined.

Not to mention the latter two weird customs that have never heard of, but the pen fairy is a dangerous and unpredictable killer. In almost all horror movies, what it passes is either death or injury.

If not, why not ask for more specific details?

He was thinking about how to speak when he heard someone say, "Excuse me—"

When turned head, it really was Baishuangxing.

"On the paper is how to hell, what should we do after seeing them?"

She said: "For example, the first article invites the pen fairy. We know how to summon them. What about sending them away? There is also the second article of sacrifice. Will ghosts come to eat, will it hurt us? If so, what should we do?response?"

The test requires only "hell", which sounds very easy, but no one knows what the ghost will do to them after completing the method on the note.

Baishuangxing always strives for stability and will not let go of the details of the information.

For some reason, the room was silent for a few seconds.

"To send the pen fairy away, just ask the question and tell it 'please come back the pen fairy'."

After a while, Master Baili said: "The method on paper is not dangerous, as long as you don't provoke them, you won't be retaliated against."

Bai Shuangxing immediately grasped the point: "Annoyed?"

This time, the silence in the bedroom was longer.

Not only the master, but even the No. 056 system, which was secretly peeking at the whole situation, gave out a cold tut.

This is the first trap set by Bai Ye.

The note clearly says "hell method", and most people will take it for granted that these methods only affect vision.

However, the truth is not so simple.

Connecting yin and yang is a taboo. When there is no boundary between people and ghosts, people can see ghosts, and ghosts can also find people.

This is a word game made by using a fixed mindset. Many newcomers have been fooled by this, so they let down their vigilance and eventually died tragically.

The landlord by the door laughed a few times: "Since it's a trial, I don't think I need to give too many hints."

Bai Shuangxing glanced at him.

For a moment, 056 had a bad premonition in his heart.

It felt like she was about to start again.

as predicted.

"The master said that the content of the trial is just 'hell', and the risk after seeing the hell should not be borne by us."

Bai Shuangxing paused slightly, and his tone was softer: "Besides, Master Baili has been exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts for so many years, he will definitely not put innocent us in danger for a mere trial, right?"

Master Baili coughed heavily.

The landlord's eyelids twitched wildly.

056: ...

In the trial, they really only asked to "go to hell" and didn't let them deal with ghosts.

This was originally a language trap, but he was turned against the general, which became Bai Shuangxing's reason for asking for tips.

And listen to her last sentence, is this the legendary top social way of human beings——

Dao, moral kidnapping?

Her words are well-founded, and there is no reason to refuse.

The woman in the room finally responded: "Pretend not to see, don't look at each other, and don't answer their questions, this is the law of survival."

After finishing speaking, she coughed a few times sickly: "I'm sick, and I need to rest more. If there's nothing else, please go back."

The master issued an order to evict the guests, so Bai Shuangxing and the others had no choice but to leave.

There are many rooms in this house, and during the trial period, Master Baili will provide free accommodation.

They were arranged to live on the third floor. After the landlord left, the three gathered in Xu Qingchuan's room to discuss.

"it's wired."

Wen Chuchu felt puzzled: "The method of seeing ghosts has certain risks. Why didn't Master Baili tell us about this kind of thing?"

"Looking at her attitude, it's obvious that she's hiding something from us."

Xu Qingchuan also couldn't figure it out: "What benefits can she get by doing this?"

"It is indeed a doubtful point."

Bai Shuangxing frowned: "What do you think about the three trials?"

"I think the third one is the most suspicious."

Xu Qingchuan said: "Almost everyone knows the pen fairy, and the hungry ghost in the cemetery is also very evil. As for 'walking forty-four steps towards the moon', I have never heard of it."

Wen Chuchu shook her head: "But if it's this option, it's too obvious. Maybe the plot will go the other way, and the pen fairy is the rumor that spreads the rumor?"

To be honest, no matter which one is true and which one is false, it makes her feel chills down the back.

Wen Chuchu is actually quite courageous, but she is afraid of ghosts.

The reason why watched a horror movie today was to face fears and practice courage, but didn't expect to run into a white night.

This is not to face the fear, this is to be swallowed by the fear, not even the bones are left.

"I really don't understand."

Wen Chuchu muttered in a low voice: "This group of people quit their good jobs, why do they have to come to apply for disciples of the Heavenly Master? Isn't this a joke of life."

"If the main character doesn't want to die, how can there be a horror movie?"

Xu Qingchuan raised his forehead: "In horror movies, abnormal work must be done."

Bai Shuangxing took it for granted: "You must live in a haunted house."

Wen Chuchu realized: "One must act alone in the middle of the night, and couples must die thoroughly."

This damn routine.

The three of them sighed in unison.

Now that the customs clearance idea is not clear, Xu Qingchuan has been in the atmosphere group around friends for a long time, and habitually asks: "So, what should we do next?"

It wasn't until he finished speaking that he realized, no, isn't he the only veteran present?

Bai Shuangxing smiled: "Start with the trials and collect information slowly."

Wen Chuchu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Which one shall we choose first?"

"The third one is too weird. As for the second one, there are countless hungry ghosts in the cemetery, and the difficulty is uncontrollable."

Xu Qingchuan touched his chin: "How about the pen fairy? You only need to face a ghost, and as far as I know, as long as you don't ask how it died, you won't offend the pen fairy."

This is indeed the easiest one.

Now there is no other plot to go, if you want to leave Bai Ye, you must complete all the trials as soon as possible.

The time was about to reach midnight, and there was no objection, and the three of them unanimously decided to invite a pen fairy.

The ceremony was very simple. Xu Qingchuan rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a gel pen, and stood it on the living room table tightly.

Wen Chuchu was a little apprehensive: "As long as we hold the pen together and then recite the spell?"

"Ok."

Bai Shuangxing held the upper end of the gel pen and looked up at her: "Are you scared? Do you want to take a break first?"

Her eyelashes are extremely long, casting a gentle reflection in her eyes, her tone is light and soft, without the slightest hint of impatience, and she is inexplicably reliable.

Wen Chuchu moved her fingertips slightly and shook her head.

So the three of them held pens together.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

Xu Qingchuan invited a ghost for the first time in his life, his heart was about to rise to his throat, adhering to the belief of "the only veteran present", and slowly said: "pen fairy pen fairy, you are my previous life..."

When they entered the white night, it was already evening, and after a while of tossing, it was completely dark outside.

The whole house is very old, with mottled walls and dim lights.The light yellow halo was as thin as gauze, and the night was dark, almost eerily quiet.

Except for Xu Qingchuan's murmur, there was no other sound in his ears. In this extreme depression, every breath could affect the nerves.

Xu Qingchuan has already recited it countless times: "pen fairy pen fairy, you are my previous life..."

This time, he could not finish the next line.

——The gel pen was standing upright on the table, but suddenly it flickered.

coming.

Bai Shuangxing's heart skipped a beat.

Unexpectedly, Wen Chuchu didn't scream, her fingers trembled, and she held her breath and remained motionless.

She seemed to feel cold, her lips turned white, and she shivered.

Xu Qingchuan tentatively asked: "Pen fairy, is that you?"

The body of the pen moved slowly, leaving a big crooked character on the white paper.

"yes".

Just ask a question and send it away.

According to the previous discussion, Xu Qingchuan said: "pen fairy pen fairy, may I ask if I passed the high math test this morning?"

The gel pen trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a "No" was written in scrawled handwriting.

Xu Qingchuan's eyes lost focus: ...

Bai Shuangxing lowered her head and pursed her lips, suppressing an untimely smile.

How should put it, when Xu Qingchuan first entered Bai Ye, his expression was not as desperate and painful as it is now.

"It's all right, as expected."

Xu Qingchuan forced a smile: "We have no other questions, please come back to the pen fairy."

After asking the questions, the pen fairy can be left as soon as possible, and the end of a trial is exchanged for a tragic news, it is worth it.

——The premise is that the pen fairy will leave obediently.

After a while, the three people at the table frowned.

Something is wrong.

If the pen fairy is successfully sent away, the pen should lose its strength and no longer draw them to write down words.

But at this moment, not only did it not lose its strength, it even began to vibrate without their asking any questions.

"Pen Fairy."

Xu Qingchuan was a little flustered, and repeated: "Please go back."

no respond.

The pen in his hand moved faster and heavier, drawing long and thin cracks on the white paper, and at the same time, the narration sounded.

[How is this going?]

[The three young men were terrified, and then they realized——]

[Inviting a pen fairy is actually inviting a ghost.Lonely and wild ghosts wander in the sun, and it is inevitable that they will be tainted with resentment. When a ghost with deep resentment sees someone... how can he be willing to leave so easily?]

Damn.

Xu Qingchuan cursed secretly.

Bai Ye had sinister intentions, clearly not wanting them to pass the trial easily.

The handwriting on the paper was scribbled and messy like a cobweb.

Wen Chuchu looked at the dense black marks and wanted to speak, but couldn't speak.

As early as the ceremony began, she felt that something was wrong.

Since that ghost can reach out to hold a pen, it must be standing next to this table, so... where is it?

At first, the coolness came out from the soles of the feet, silently crawling all over the body, like ice edges, and like the soft and boneless palm of a baby, stroking her nerves again and again.

Wen Chuchu finally knew why she felt so cold.

A strand of long hair fell from the side of her neck, gently sweeping across her neck.

But she obviously has short hair.

The three of them sat around a round table, very close to each other, without much space.

It is impossible for the pen fairy to stand in the gap between the left and right sides of them. Thinking about it this way, there is only one possibility left.

...it was behind her.

Clinging tightly to her back, he stretched out his hand from her side, put his palm on the back of her hand, and held the pen.

The creepy feeling of trembling exploded in his mind, Wen Chuchu gritted his teeth hard, forcing himself not to scream.

The gel pen in his hand was shaking wildly, back and forth, leaving messy handwriting on the paper.

A large, curse-like black font, full of malice.

"die".
