When leaving Bai Ye, Bai Shuangxing felt in a trance for a moment.

The lax consciousness was gradually reorganized, and lines of small words floated up in her mind.

"Congratulations on clearing this white night challenge!"

"Due to the temporary departure of the monitoring system, the next point will be settled by the Baiye master system for you..."

"Name: Baishuangxing"

"Completion of main task: 100%"

"Get 5 points"

"Completion of side missions: 100%"

"Get 2 points"

"There are four branches of the main line in this white night, and the challenger has been rated as the highest contribution four times, and an additional 4 points will be awarded"

"Total points earned: 11"

"Thank you for the wonderful journey with you, and look forward to seeing you next time!"

Hoarfrost Walk: ...

Frankly speaking, she didn't have any idea about points, so she read it word by word, her eyes fixed on the last sentence.

Wonderful journey.

Just, I didn't expect not only people, but even the system to be so ordinary and confident, and feel good about myself.

There is also the phrase "I look forward to seeing you next time", it seems that there is no expectation at all, it just makes people feel like a horrible curse.

She cursed in her heart, blinked again, and returned to the cinema.

It's not the one in Baijia Street, but the place where she went to watch horror movies with her friends before entering the white night.

Now that think about it, the movie she planned to watch was called "Seeing Strangeness", but it happened that she entered the white night and saw countless evil ghosts with her own eyes.

Someone nearby whispered: "You are finally back!"

Baishuang looked up.

The flow of time in the white night is different from that in the real world. A day and a night in the white night are equivalent to an hour in reality.

It took them three days to complete the three trials, and after they came out, only three hours had passed.

Now that "Seeing Strange" is over, the auditorium is empty, only Bai Shuangxing and another girl who is similar to her age are left.

The girl has permed her big wavy hair, with a few strands of burgundy highlights, a leather jacket and jeans, and her facial features are almost gorgeous and exquisite.

At this moment, she saw the sudden appearance of Baishuangxing, and her usually indifferent expression faded away, revealing joy and relief.

Seeing a familiar friend, Bai Shuangxing instantly relaxed a lot: "Shen Chan."

Shen Chan stepped on Martin boots, approached her side, and checked everything from beginning to end:

"Are you injured? You must have been frightened? Does your head hurt? What about your chest? Where about your limbs? Really, how could this happen? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Bai Shuangxing smiled helplessly, and raised his hand as a sign of surrender: "It's okay, don't worry. We passed the customs smoothly and didn't encounter any major problems."

She looked around and felt strange: "In the past three hours, hasn't this screening hall been scheduled for the next movie? Why is it so dark?"

"Everyone has been dragged into the white night, who dares to stay here."

Shen Chan sighed: "As soon as the three of you disappeared, the auditorium immediately became chaotic, shouting and screaming, and everyone ran out - that scene, like a sprint race, was exciting."

Bai Shuangxing laughed out loud, "Then you're still waiting here for so long?"

"I'm not interested in sprinting."

Shen Chan clasped her arms around her chest and continued to look at her physical condition: "Not long ago, two of your teammates came back and didn't see you, which shocked me."

Later, after the two explained, she realized that Bai Shuangxing not only lived well, but also caused the monitoring system to fall into a state of autism, and by the way, a white night challenge collapsed.

If someone else heard this kind of thing, they would definitely find it unbelievable and unbelievable, but Shen Chan was only dazed for a few seconds, and then raised the corners of her mouth in relief: "She has always been very powerful."

After experiencing an extremely thrilling survival challenge, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to look back and find that there are still people waiting for you.

The tired nerves were relieved a lot, Bai Shuang raised her lips and smiled: "Thank you for waiting for a long time."

"It's good that you're fine."

Shen Chan raised her eyebrows: "Are you hungry now? After working hard for so long, I'll take you to have a big meal."

As she spoke, she turned on her phone and began to look for a suitable place for dinner:

"As for you, I will explain in detail later how you played Bai Ye to collapse. I have read so many comments on the Internet, and no one can reach your level—yes, you have a long face, as expected of our Shuangshuang.”

Shen Chan has such a temper, she usually looks like she doesn't get close to strangers, as long as she talks about interesting topics, she can't stop talking.

Bai Shuangxing waited patiently for her to search the restaurant, then looked at the system panel in his mind.

After the skill "House of Ghosts" is activated, you can become a family member with ghosts and bring them out of the white night.

There are currently two ghosts who have signed a contract with her, Jiang Mian and Grandma Song.

After leaving White Night, a new option appeared in the lower right corner of their name box.

"call"

[Usually, the family is in a state of slumber.Use "Summon" to wake up family members and make them come to your side.】

"Note: In order to ensure the balance of the challenge, if you enter the white night, only one family member can be summoned per game. Regardless of whether it is inside or outside the white night, the summoned family members cannot use their own abilities."

In other words, when she is outside the white night, she can make ghosts appear at any time.

It's not hard to think about prohibiting ghosts from using abilities. After all, they are too powerful. If they are not restricted, the world will definitely be chaotic.

Jiang Mian exhausted his strength during the white night, and after watching the movie at the end, his body was so weak that he was about to fall apart.

Now the status column behind her name reads "Seriously Injured and Sleeping", Bai Shuangxing decided not to disturb her, and gave the child some rest time to recover her energy.

Then there is Grandma Song.

After she signed a contract with the old man, she got a skill called "Guardian Spirit", which can resist one attack by evil spirits, protect up to five people, and can be used once every three days.

In order to save Song Chenlu, the old lady was almost torn apart by the power of Jiang Mian's painting. After leaving Baiye, she was not in a good condition.

But her status bar is...

"eager"?

Bai Shuangxing was startled, but soon understood the meaning.

The reason why she was able to convince the old lady was because she agreed to take her to see Song Chenlu ten years later.

In this world, if there is anyone else who can make this wraith have emotional fluctuations, it must be her little granddaughter.

"That's right. Actually—"

Turning his attention away from the skill panel, Bai Shuangxing looked at Shen Chan and touched the tip of his nose: "There is one more thing I didn't tell you."

five minutes later.

In the silent movie theater, silence spread silently.

Shen Chan remained motionless, looking at Bai Shuangxing who was close at hand.

And standing quietly beside Bai Shuangxing, the white-haired old lady with a translucent body.

Shen Chan: ...

Shen Chan: "Huh—?!"

wait wait wait.

So Baishuang Xing brought out the ghost in Baiye?Is this feasible?Letting the system crash is already cruel enough... How can you still squeeze this kind of wool?!

If she was the monitoring system of this white night, she would probably be half-dead from anger.

"That's the way it is."

Bai Shuangxing briefly explained the cause and effect: "Because of skills, I took this grandma away from Bai Ye."

She was wary of Wen Chuchu and Xu Qingchuan, facing Shen Chan, she would not hide many things.

This is the trust that a friend of many years should have.

Shen Chan didn't speak, but looked at the old lady in front of her.

The old lady looked at her too.

As a ghost, she knew she looked terrible.

His face was pale, like ashes, and his eyes were as hollow as a quagmire, making people fearful.

Thinking that this is a friend of Baishuangxing, Grandma Song tried her best to show a friendly attitude, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, showing a kind smile, she just hoped not to scare the other party.

After a while, Shen Chan spoke.

"Hello."

She said: "I'm sorry, this is the first time I've seen a ghost, and I'm a little excited... Are you the legendary ghost? I remember that this kind of ghost is not common, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."

old lady:……

It seems that there is no need to worry about scaring her.

"This is the city center of Jiang An. It takes several hours to drive to Baijia Street."

Bai Shuangxing said: "It's too late now, I'll take you back to look for Lulu at noon tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"

The old man didn't know what to think of, his expression moved slightly: "Actually——"

She whispered: "Lulu's parents have been working in Jiang An. After I passed away, I heard from them that they bought a house in Jiang An with a loan, and they wanted to take Lulu to live together."

The girl lived with her grandmother since she was a child. After the old man had an accident, no one in Baijia Street could continue to take care of her.

What's more, that street has never been peaceful, and there have been many vicious cases of missing children. Parents care about Song Chenlu and will definitely take her to their side.

That family of three is likely to be in Jiang An.

Bai Shuang's heart moved.

For some unknown reason, she also had some expectations: "Do you still remember the address of that house?"

It was getting dark, and it was evening.

Gaotian Residential Area is located on the edge of Jiang'an City, surrounded by tranquility.When Bai Shuangxing came to the gate of the community, the sun happened to be setting on the western mountain.

The area of this community is small, most of which are old buildings that are old and not rich, but compared to the chaotic Baijia Street, it can already be called peaceful and peaceful.

Several households are cooking, and the laughter and conversation of the citizens are mixed with the crackling sound of cooking, which outlines a strong homely atmosphere in the city. Walking among them makes people feel happy.

Grandma Song remembered the specific house number and led her and Shen Chan all the way forward.

When arriving at the destination, perhaps because of the proximity to her hometown, the old lady deliberately hid her figure so that no one could easily see her.

Bai Shuangxing and Shen Chan looked at each other, raised his right hand, and knocked on the anti-theft door.

In all fairness, she also felt uneasy.

Time has passed so long, maybe the family of three has moved to another place long ago.They came here full of expectations. If they opened the door and saw a stranger, they would lose Song Chenlu's contact information...

Bai Shuangxing didn't think about it.

Time passed by, and the stairs were silent.

Suddenly the doorknob was pushed down from the room, making a light clicking sound.

Bai Shuangxing raised his eyes when he heard the sound.

The anti-theft door opened slowly, and the lights in the room traced the outline of the opponent's facial features.

It was a young girl with the appearance of a college student, with round eyes and thin eyebrows, and a pretty face.

For a moment, she thought of the little girl holding a rabbit doll.

"Hello."

Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Bai Shuangxing raised the corner of his mouth in a friendly manner: "I am—"

Unexpectedly, the young girl just looked at her blankly, as if seeing something unexpected, moved her mouth in vain, but made no sound.

After a while, the other party said, "Will Bai Shuang do?"

Not only Shen Chan, but even Bai Shuangxing himself was stunned.

"Ok?"

Shen Chan was puzzled: "Do you know each other?"

Bai Shuangxing just wanted to shake his head.

In just a few seconds, she quickly recalled her personal trajectory and circle of contacts, and came to the conclusion that she had never seen the person in front of her.

——The premise is that the experience in the white night is excluded.

Judging by her looks, there was no doubt that the girl in front of her was Song Chenlu.

However, in real life, Bai Shuangxing and Song Chenlu have nothing to do with each other.

"It's really you."

Song Chenlu was no less surprised than she was, and her face was full of astonishment: "How is it possible? Ten years have passed, why haven't you changed at all..."

ten years ago.

The eyebrows twitched heavily, and Bai Shuangxing came up with an idea through the fragmented words of the other party.

A wild idea.

"The reason why you know my name," she said tentatively, "is because...you met me ten years ago?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Chan beside her was stunned.

Song Chenlu hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.

"My parents are still at work, and I'm the only one in the house."

She took a step back to make way for the door: "Come in."

"……wait."

Shen Chan rubbed her fluffy curly hair: "The two of you met in Baijia Street ten years ago. Isn't this a story that only happened in Bai Ye? If Song Chenlu even remembered this kind of thing, wouldn't it be—"

She frowned: "Bai Ye has affected reality?"

The Song family's house was more spacious than the previous one, with a dark brown sofa and a light brown long table. Bai Shuangxing and Shen Chan sat on the sofa and listened to Song Chenlu explain the ins and outs.

"Ten years ago, I had a dream."

She poured a glass of water for the two of them: "In the dream, grandma passed away, and her soul lived in a doll, accompanying me; later, three young people came to exorcise ghosts."

Bai Shuangxing nodded: "I just participated in a white night challenge today. The background is Baijia Street ten years ago. I have two teammates named Xu Qingchuan Wen Chuchu. We went to your house to drive out ghosts, but your grandma chased them away.I saw you later at number 444."

Song Chenlu's expression became more serious: "It's exactly the same as the plot in my dream."

She pursed her lower lip as she spoke, and said hesitantly: "Actually, I always feel that it's not like a dream. That memory was so real, it was completely my own experience, but when I asked others later, they all said that those things were true.happened before."

Even the character "Bai Shuang Xing" is claimed by the neighbors to be non-existent.

Bai Shuangxing: "Where are your parents? Do they remember?"

"Their situation is even stranger."

Song Chenlu said: "When I talked about grandma's soul and the three of you, my parents said that they had similar dreams. But they are different from me. I remember very clearly, but their memory is blurry.It's no different from an ordinary dream."

There was too much information, and as an outsider, Shen Chan was a little confused.

"To sum up, that is."

Shen Chan said: "Bai Ye and the real world have overlapped. What happened in Bai Ye may become the memory of real human beings."

Bai Shuang let out a "huh".

"Isn't there a saying? Bai Ye is a collection of consciousness."

She said: "In the white night, there is a resentful ghost as the main body of consciousness. In addition to it, there are many people's weak brain waves. If there is no accident, these consciousnesses will always be stored in the white night, but thisSecond-rate"

Shen Chan understood: "Bai Ye has collapsed."

The white night collapsed, and many consciousnesses had nowhere to go, only to return to everyone's mind.

Therefore, Song Chenlu remembered everything that happened at that time.

"As for your parents, they didn't participate very much in the white night, and even if their consciousness returned, they would only leave sporadic impressions."

Bai Shuangxing continued to analyze: "So for them, that experience was like a dream that was made and forgotten."

"But you are the white night completed today, and their consciousness has returned to ten years ago."

Shen Chan couldn't figure it out: "How to explain this?"

Bai Shuang shook his head.

The existence of Bai Ye is a mystery. If she has to make a conjecture, it may be because Bai Ye is independent of reality and is not affected by time in the real world.

So the consciousness ten years ago can be directly returned to the people ten years ago.

In fact, the time flow of White Night is indeed inconsistent with reality.

In this case……

Bai Shuangxing: "A man and a woman who live in Building 444, do you know what happened to them?"

Song Chenlu nodded, "They're crazy."

"Just after that night, in the wee hours of the morning, the man ran wildly into the street, claiming that a ghost was trying to kill him."

Thinking of the unlucky things, Song Chenlu shuddered: "The woman's situation is even more terrifying. She was crying, strangling her own neck, cutting her hands with a knife, or kowtowing madly on the ground, saying sorry all the time."

Bai Shuangxing's eyes sank, listening to her continue.

"The police went to search their residence and found that it was full of strange altars, as well as the clothes and blood of the missing children. Soon after being taken away by the police, they died in prison. It is said that they committed suicide. The death conditions were very tragic."

it is as expected.

Since all consciousness will return to the owner's body, as important characters in "Evil Ghosts will be reflected", Baili and the landlord must remember everything that happened.

Not only that, but the illusion that Bai Shuangxing left in Baili's mind also had a great impact on her.

Song Chenlu swallowed at the side: "There is also Jiang's uncle, who suddenly hanged himself in the middle of the night... After these things happened, my parents were worried all day long, and they quickly brought me to Jiang An."

She finally finished speaking, and looked at Bai Shuangxing with a little anxiety: "That's basically it."

Song Chenlu said a lot back and forth, covering an unimaginably huge amount of information.

There was a brief silence in the living room, and everyone was digesting them bit by bit, trying to figure out the clues behind them.

"Once the white night collapses, the consciousness inside can merge with reality and affect the real world."

Shen Chan leaned on the sofa, her tone was cold, and she frowned slightly: "Isn't this the same as traveling through time? If more people know about it, will it cause big trouble?"

Song Chenlu whispered: "But... there should be no one who can make Bai Ye collapse again. The probability of this is too small."

After Bai Ye appeared for so long, almost everyone was struggling to survive on the death line.

In the eyes of most people, it is completely impossible to break the rules and throw the logic of the system into chaos.

"Ok."

Bai Shuangxing said: "The challenge mode this time is a movie. I took a chance and got stuck with a bug."

Most importantly, thanks to the skill "House of Ghosts".

Song Chenlu glanced at her, and smiled shyly just like when she was a child.

"I never had time to say, thank you."

She said softly: "I remember what happened that night. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be eaten by ghosts."

Telling her that everything is just a haunted house rehearsal, and holding her to escape in a crisis, for them, may be just a word or a small action.

However, in the eyes of that timid child with an unformed worldview, these are extremely precious kindnesses.

When she said this, a trace of regret floated in her eyes: "Our memories can come back, the consciousness of those ghosts... where did they go?"

It must be slowly dissipating.

Bai Shuangxing met her gaze: "Are you thinking about grandma?"

"Why don't you want to."

Song Chenlu smiled: "You know, I was brought up by my grandma."

When was a child, family was very poor, and parents didn't see each other all year round, and only the old man was with her.

She wanted a toy, so grandma made a rabbit doll by herself; she envied that her classmates could go to various restaurants to eat, so grandma stayed in the kitchen all day long, researching different flavors of food.

It was like having magic that could grant all her wishes.

After coming to live in Jiang An, when she was walking one day, she found a small restaurant for dinner.

The food made by that restaurant was dry and astringent, not delicious at all, but the taste of its fish-flavored eggplant was 70% similar to that of grandma, so when her companions complained repeatedly, only Song Chenlu suddenly felt particularly happy.

After that, she went there many, many times, and every time she would order fish-flavored eggplant and eat many, many bowls.

"look."

Song Chenlu turned her head sideways, and hugged a ball of snow from the sofa beside her: "It's here too."

It was a plush rabbit made for her by the old man himself. It was well maintained, beautiful and clean.

Song Chenlu lowered his eyes and touched its ears.

Every time she recalled that weird dream, she would feel envious.

Of course she is afraid of ghosts, but if she had a choice, Song Chenlu hoped that there would be ghosts in the world.

In this way, they will be able to meet the dead again, instead of dying as they are now, leaving nothing behind.

No one spoke, and the room was very quiet.

A wind blew across the window sill, lifted the corner of the curtain, and made a soft hula.

Suddenly, Song Chenlu froze.

——When she lightly touched the rabbit ears, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but the pair of snow-white ears moved and rubbed against her fingertips.

Just like the dream that happened in the white night.

In the dream, whenever she felt sad, the grandma in the doll would hug her and shake the rabbit ears slowly.

The wind chimes on the window sill jingled, and the bells were melodious.

Finally realizing something, Song Chenlu suddenly raised her head.

Grandma always smiles gently and kindly.

On the day we met for the last time, she was tortured by a strange disease and cried in bed.

Grandma was in a hurry, touching her head over and over again: "Don't cry, don't cry, grandma will go get the medicine right away. When I get home, make something delicious for Lulu."

She was dizzy and answered vaguely, "I want fish-flavored eggplant."

"Well, I'll make fish-flavored eggplant for you."

So the old man laughed: "Then Lulu won't cry, okay?"

She obviously answered "yes" at that time, but at this moment, tears could not stop falling.

The wind chime rang without wind, the street lights outside the window were on, and the night was flowing, and everything was silent.

In front of him was a gray-haired face that would only appear in dreams.

Song Chenlu opened her lips slightly, and called her softly, "...Grandma?"
