    When Xu Qingchuan stepped out of the alley, the distorted space instantly restored, and the forked roads gradually fell into the night like melted watercolors.

    Bai Shuangxing quickly thanked Wen Chuchu and asked her to put herself down.

    After leaving the alley, the Yin Qi dissipated, not as heavy as before.

    Although the bone marrow was still icy cold, her body finally regained some strength, barely able to support her to stand up.

    ——The most important reason is that Wen Chuchu is exhausted, if she continues to carry her on his back, Bai Shuangxing can't bear it.

    She doesn't like to owe too much favor.

    The three of them rested on the side of the road for a while, and when they recovered some of their strength, they got up and went to No. 444 residential building.

    The house was not far from the alley, and they arrived quickly.

    When he came to the gate, Bai Shuangxing raised his head deliberately and looked at the situation in the room.

    It's not too late now, but the second floor where Baili lives is pitch black.In the whole building, only the landlord's room was lit, and a halo of yellow light overflowed from it.

    Wen Chuchu looked up with her, and murmured: "Is Baili asleep?"

    Xu Qingchuan glanced at the time on the phone: "At 8:30 p.m....won't it be too late? Let's go up and have a look?"

    Bai Shuangxing nodded naturally.

    To be honest, she didn't think they could meet Baili smoothly, but the fact is that the three of them did eat cold shoulder.

    Xu Qingchuan knocked on the door of the room, and within a minute, there was no response from the room.

    When went to the landlord, the door was also locked and no one responded.

    "Can't get in."

    Xu Qingchuan frowned: "Baili may not be in the room, but there are lights in the landlord's room, so someone must be there."

    Wen Chuchu was very annoyed: "These two dug such a big hole, just want us to die early, now afraid of being questioned by Xingshi, of course they won't open the door."

    She was a little distressed, and rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "We can't get in without the key to their room."

    The room was completely separated from the corridor by a security door, and the door was closed at the moment, no matter how anxious and angry they were, they could only stand in the corridor and worry.

    "perhaps"

    Bai Shuangxing suddenly said: "There is another passage, which can lead to the landlord's room."

    Xu Qingchuan and Wen Chuchu were puzzled, and she continued: "When I saw him tonight, I lied to him."

    "You tell the landlord—"

    Wen Chuchu immediately remembered: "Last night, you slept alone."

    She remembered clearly that because of her timidity, she went to Baishuangxing's bedroom last night.

    When Bai Shuangxing said "sleeping alone", not only her, but the landlord also had a surprised expression on his face.

    It's as if...he knew that Bai Shuangxing was wrong.

    Bai Shuangxing nodded, lowered her voice, and motioned for the two to follow her back to the room:

    "When you first met the landlord, did you feel that something was wrong?"

    Primary school student Wen Chuchu raised his right hand as if answering a question: "He is sneaky, and it took him a long time to open the door!"

    "To be precise, I had to open the door because I was frightened by Ghost Map and exposed my existence."

    Bai Shuangxing smiled: "As soon as I put the phone in front of the hole, he was immediately taken aback. Is it really such a coincidence that I stretched out my hand and looked out with him, and the two things happened at the same time?"

    "The probability is very small."

    Xu Qingchuan suddenly realized: "He may have been standing by the door, watching us secretly from the small hole."

    Thinking about that scene was a little creepy, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his arms.

    "That's right."

    Bai Shuangxing nodded: "Hiding in the dark to observe others is very in line with the characteristics of a voyeur. There was another time that something was wrong with the landlord, it was last night—Chuchu, remember what he said to you?"

    "Remember!"

    Wen Chuchu vaguely understood: "After enshrining in the cemetery, Xu Qingchuan was the most frightened, and his face was also the worst, but he saw at a glance that I was the least timid."

    She felt weird then.

    Finally realizing something, Wen Chuchu's voice trembled slightly: "He, he lives next door to me, could it be——!"

    "Remember the laws of horror movies that were summed up earlier?"

    Bai Shuangxing's tone was very light: "Anti-peeping, anti-mirror—is there a full-length mirror attached to the wall in your bedroom?"

    Xu Qingchuan's breath was stagnant: "You mean, he used the double-sided mirror to peep?"

    Double-sided mirror, also called single-sided perspective glass, the front side is like an ordinary mirror, which can reflect its own reflection; the back side is like a piece of transparent glass, which can clearly see the scene on the other side of the mirror.

    You can't see him, he can see you.

    The landlord's words and deeds were very weird. Bai Shuangxing guessed at first that he used a camera, but he searched the whole house and found nothing tricky.

    So she thought of mirrors.

    "Double-way mirrors are a common object in horror movies. I suspected something was wrong with him, so I made it clear that I was alone in the room last night."

    Bai Shuang said: "Remember the surprised expression on his face?"

    "……nausea!"

    Thinking that the man was right next door to her, Wen Chuchu gritted her teeth: "Beatings are not prohibited in Bai Ye, right?"

    "certainly."

    Bai Shuang's long eyelashes twitched lightly, she didn't know what to think, and looked up at the dark corridor: "I can only guess so much, for more detailed inside information, I can only ask him directly."

    "Ask him directly?"

    Wen Chuchu was curious: "But he closed the door, how do we get in? And even if we see the landlord, what if he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't want to tell us the truth?"

    The three of them were very lucky and did not suffer any substantial harm. It is entirely possible for the man to fabricate a lie, claiming that there is no magic and everything is an accident.

    Bai Shuangxing glanced at her, then smiled suddenly: "Being trapped in the alley by Baili, do you feel uncomfortable today?"

    Of course!

    "accurate."

    Wen Chuchu emphasized her tone: "Super! Displeased!"

    "I'm upset too."

    Bai Shuangxing blinked, under the slender eyelashes, there was a little light: "There is a way to let the landlord know everything about us, and make him never dare to peep again."

    "Since this is a movie, why not act it out?"

    She curled her mouth: "Do you want to... give him a surprise?"

    The night was getting dark.

    A bloated middle-aged man sat alone in the bedroom with a cigarette in his hand.

    The computer is not turned on, the mobile phone is placed next to it, and only one incandescent lamp is still working in the room.

    He remained motionless, looking at the mirror in front of him.

    Incredible.

    Not long ago, he heard the sound of conversation and footsteps in the corridor, listening to the sound, it was the three young men——

    They are still alive!

    But how could they be alive?

    In order to ensure the smooth progress of the sacrificial ceremony, the cousin carefully selected the death method for them. There were ghosts hitting the wall in front, and ghosts chasing after them.

    Did they come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?And the cousin's ceremony...

    Now that they didn't die, what happened to the ritual?

    There was a bang on the door, and the middle-aged man curled up in a corner of the sofa, never opening the door.

    The voice died away shortly after, and he stared intently at the mirror in the bedroom.

    This is a two-way mirror.

    He has a hobby of voyeurism, and when he learned that three young people were about to move in, he deliberately installed this gadget on the walls of his room and the room next door.

    The little girl who lived next door was named Wen Chuchu, and she was very timid. When she came to Building 444 on the first day, she shrank into a ball before she dared to sleep.

    Thinking of this, the door of the next bedroom was suddenly opened, and the lights turned on immediately.

    The man held his breath nervously.

    He couldn't hear the voice from the other side, he could only see Wen Chuchu walking into the room quickly, followed by Bai Shuangxing.

    It seemed they were so scared that they decided to huddle together in a bedroom for the night.

    As a character in the movie, he couldn't hear the narration that slowly emerged.

    [The man thought, there must be more interesting scenes tonight.]

    [Two terrified poor people cuddle up to each other, their faces full of lingering despair and bewilderment.The reason why he placed the double-sided mirror in the room is that what he wants to appreciate most is the most private and vulnerable appearance of people.]

    [This makes him impatient.]

    On the other side of the mirror, the two of them opened and closed their lips, talking about something.

    Bai Shuangxing was carrying a black plastic bag in his hand, and when he entered the door, he took out some incense sticks and white candles from it.

    ……what.

    The man secretly sneered, they must have been scared out of their wits and wanted to pray to the gods, right?

    [interesting.]

    The narrator speaks exactly what is on his mind.

    [He looked at them, thinking that those two people were extremely ridiculous.The more frightened they were, the more excited he was.]

    [The man raised the corners of his mouth with great interest, and in his indifferent smile, there was only a sense of coldness.He smiled morbidly...]

    The narration came to an abrupt end——

    Because the smile on the middle-aged man's face turned into shock in less than a second.

    On the other side of the mirror, Bai Shuangxing put the candles in front of the table, and then took out several porcelain bowls and steamed buns from the plastic bag.

    Familiar formula, familiar taste.

    This is... the second method of seeing ghosts, offering sacrifices to hungry ghosts.

    What does she want to do?!

    A bad premonition rose in my heart, not only the landlord, but even the narrator was stunned for a moment.

    On the other side of the mirror, the plot continues.

    Wen Chuchu lit the incense and placed it neatly in front of the porcelain bowl. The smoke lingered and rose slowly.

    Just like last night, the rising white smoke slowly soared into the sky, like invisible pen and ink, gradually outlining a few vague shadows.

    But after a while, the ghostly shadows almost filled the entire room.

    Bai Shuang Xing had already made psychological preparations, and seeing that everything was going smoothly, he nodded towards Wen Chuchu.

    The principle of "Hungry Ghost Worship" is that there are many ghosts wandering in places where Yin Qi gathers, and because no one pays homage to them, they become hungry ghosts.

    The cemetery is certainly the best choice, but she has never forgotten that, according to the neighbors, Building 444 is also eerie and weird, and many people died strangely on the street at the entrance.

    There is no doubt that this is a haunted house through and through, and once it is enshrined, it can also attract wandering spirits.

    This matter is ready, and then, all you need to do is——

    The next second, the landlord on the other side of the mirror froze.

    He was staring straight at the double-sided mirror, and wherever he could see, Bai Shuangxing, whose back was turned to him... suddenly turned around.

    There was a smile in her eyes, and her expression was calm, like a cat waiting for a mouse to take the bait, with unknown arcs overflowing from the end of her eyes.

    He was obviously smiling, but like a sharp knife, he met the man's eyes through a mirror.

    With cold sweat on his palms, he shrank back.

    Is it a coincidence?

    It is impossible for her to know the secret of the mirror, even if she knew, she would not be able to enter his room, and no matter what, she would not be able to hurt him.

    Suddenly, he realized something.

    The scalp went numb for an instant, and before the landlord could react, Wen Chuchu who was opposite picked up the chair beside him and slammed it forward——

    It's a mirror.

    They couldn't open the door, but they could smash the mirror and go straight to his room!

    The sound of the broken mirror was extremely ear-piercing, like the judgment of death approaching.

    Strangeness, despair, panic, trembling, all kinds of emotions and atmosphere reached their peak, the landlord panicked, turned around and ran to the door.

    He moved so fast that he never expected that as soon as the door opened, a fist would come towards him!

    Xu Qingchuan, who was in charge of blocking the door, let out a heavy blow on the side of the man's face with his right hand.

    He stayed at the door for so long just for this second.

    Xu Qingchuan in front of him was furious, while Wen Chuchu behind him had passed through the mirror and approached him step by step.

    There were wolves in front and tigers in back. The landlord turned pale with fright, and sat on the ground: "Wrong...I was wrong! I shouldn't have put that mirror, please forgive me!"

    "Is it just the mirror?"

    Bai Shuang walked up to him, bent slightly, with a polite and gentle smile on his lips: "Are you going to have a good talk with us about the magic sacrifice?"

    Sure enough, they knew.

    The landlord trembled, trying to make a final struggle: "What kind of magic, what sacrifice? I, I don't know..."

    Bai Shuangxing didn't speak, just moved his feet and turned sideways.

    The mirror surface was shattered, wandering spirits wandered around, several of them had already come to his room.

    Visible to the naked eye, the landlord's expression tightened.

    He once said that he was very timid, and his legs would go weak when he saw a ghost.When he faced the hungry ghosts wandering around the room, he would definitely feel panicked.

    Haunted by ghosts, coupled with the constant pressure from the three of them, he was able to crush his little sanity bit by bit.

    [Feeling the fear of the person opposite, Bai Shuangxing raised the corners of his mouth with great interest.]

    Half a minute passed, and the stuck narration finally resumed operation.

    [There is only a sense of coldness in the indifferent smile, she smiles morbidly, and speaks softly.]

    "If you don't tell the truth..."

    Bai Shuangxing looked into his eyes, and his voice was very soft, as if whispering: "Throw you into them, what will happen then? Will you be torn to pieces, or will you be bitten and eaten? Even if something happens to you, thenAnd it's all the ghost's fault, not us... right?"

    The evil spirits not far away were all horrifying and hideous. These words were like a club, hitting the man's head hard.

    The feeling of suffocation was like a tide, wrapping him tightly in it. For the first time in his life, the landlord couldn't move because of fear, and a tear leaked from the corner of his eye.

    Crazy... Crazy!

    The narration gradually adapted to the changes in the plot, and gradually became familiar with the road.

    [How did things become like this?He just wanted to see...

    No, why should he be obsessed with ghosts and buy this mirror?None of this would have happened if hadn't been peeping in the first place!]

    [This woman will definitely kill him!She is a lunatic and a devil!]

    056: ...

    056: ...

    056: Narrator, what are you doing, Narrator!!!

    Is this plot serious?The perverted landlord peeped at the tenant, only to witness an even more perverted evocation scene, and was scared to cry?Do you think this is reasonable?

    Who is the villain!

    What it wants to shoot is a thriller horror movie, the protagonist should tremble and cry and run for his life, instead of killing all directions with a knife, driving the pervert to cry bitterly——

    And the landlord, as a villain, can you stay a little bit stunned!

    Facts have proved that the landlord can't stand in a daze, and it's impossible to be in a daze in this life.

    He's just a rat living in a dark ditch, with nothing to do all his life, and he only gets a little fun by peeping.

    Wen Chuchu looked down at him, feeling disgusted.

    In addition to nausea, feel a little comfortable all over.

    Since they entered Baiye, they have been controlled by the system and Baili, and they are always suffocating.

    At this moment, seeing this man crying and begging for mercy, it is really——

    It's so cool!

    Fake Horror Movie Protagonist: Threatened, intimidated, scurried out of his wits.

    The real protagonist of a horror movie: To threaten, to intimidate, to fight against ghosts, crush villains, and turn the plot upside down.

    Wen Chuchu said that she likes this kind of plot very much.

    The landlord's cry echoed in his ears, Xu Qingchuan was an honest man, and scratched his head in a daze: "Why do I feel...we are more like villains?"

    Wen Chuchu glanced at him, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the experience of being a villain is so comfortable—can we be more villainous? I've long been disgusted by the plot!"

    "All right."

    Bai Shuangxing lowered his eyes and smiled, looking at the man sitting slumped on the ground: "Let's talk about the ins and outs of the matter."

    Wen Chuchu put his hands on his hips and flaunted his might, carrying the villain's spirit through to the end: "Otherwise I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
