Chapter 65 Strange Talk Town (2)
I have to say that when saw this design, Bai Shuangxing felt a little surprised.
In most of the white nights, the system will directly assign roles and tasks to the challengers, which leads to a question——
Once the assigned role is very different from the person, and the two are separated from each other, people will greatly lose their sense of substitution.
For example, Bai Shuangxing knew nothing about the nurse profession in the third mental hospital. Being in the hospital is more like standing on the sidelines.
Only this white night in front of me is different.
The degree of freedom given by the system is extremely high, which aroused her interest from the very beginning, and being able to freely set her name and occupation greatly enhanced the feeling of real substitution.
Much like a holographic game.
Bai Shuangxing turned his head sideways and looked at the big wheel of fortune beside him.
This time, what she needs to choose is "identity".
Yuanpan is divided into many small areas, scanning one by one, Baishuangxing saw "Chen's nanny", "street beggar", "outsider tourist", "watchman", "mysterious person living in an unfinished building","Tofu Pretty Xishi" and other character settings.
There are many types and abundant quantities, covering almost all living beings in the entire town.
"Ding dong!"
The system prompts: "Please turn the dial."
Bai Shuang took a step forward, reaching out to the disc.
She didn't have much strength, so she pushed it along the way, and the disc started to spin, and gradually, it stopped at a certain corner.
"Congratulations to the challenger for successfully selecting an identity!"
"Your identity is: Foreigner!"
The moment the system sounded, a detailed introduction of this character appeared in Bai Shuangxing's mind.
"Foreign Traveler"
"You are a lover of supernatural phenomena, and you are keen on all kinds of ghost stories and weird stories. I heard that weird ghosts and gods have appeared in this town, and you came here with the tour group."
Hoarfrost Walk: ...
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Basic Settings"
"Bold and careful, when you encounter any strange things, you will summon up the courage to investigate."
"Reminder: Please try not to violate the basic character settings!"
really.
Although it says "bold and careful", this character is, to put it bluntly, just a trick in a horror movie. The only purpose of its existence is to keep causing trouble for the upper body and make the protagonist group encounter crises.
Bai Shuang rubbed his forehead.
A little tricky, but not a big deal.
"The identity has been determined, and the turntable is being replaced for you..."
"Ding dong! The career turntable is ready!"
Only a second passed, and the contents of the turntable changed suddenly.
This time, when Bai Shuangxing looked up, he saw fantasy creatures such as "Fox Fairy", "Zombie", "Flower Demon", and "Elf" in small areas on the turntable.
Of course, there are "humans" too.
She didn't think too much, stretched out her hand and turned it.
The disc was running again, and when it stopped, Bai Shuangxing smiled.
"Congratulations to the challenger for successfully selecting a race!"
"The current race—"
"vampire!"
vampire.
An ethnic group that often appears in film and television works, although humans often give them a romantic temperament, in the final analysis, they are a group of monsters that feed on blood.
Fear of the sun, fear of garlic and holy water, and...
Bai Shuang touched his teeth.
It may be because the white night has not yet officially started, her body has not changed, and it is normal.
Will she grow fangs in the white night?
The system next to the ear is still dutifully broadcasting.
"vampire"
"You are a murderous ghost who mingles among the crowd. Blood is your favorite food, and sunlight is your natural enemy."
"Vampire Attribute One: Blood Dependence"
"Within twenty-four hours, you must drink enough fresh blood."
"Drink the blood, and you will get a ten-minute physical bonus. You will be as light as a swallow, fly over walls, and kill people invisible. It will no longer be a problem for you."
"Vampire 2: Judgment by Daylight"
"Please avoid the sun, the moon is your mother."
"After being burned by the sun, it can cause serious damage to your body."
Bai Shuang carefully read these words twice.
The setting is not too different from what she imagined. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to be afraid of garlic, churches and crosses.
only……
Looking at the words "Blood Dependence", Bai Shuangxing fell into deep thought.
Where would she get fresh blood to drink?
It can't really be like the murderer in the movie, abducting innocent people in the street.
"Ding dong!"
"The random attributes are assigned. Next, challengers are asked to fill in their name, occupation and basic settings."
The system sound fell, and the screen in front of her suddenly lit up.
Bai Shuangxing tried to click lightly to open the name box, and a typing keyboard appeared on the screen.
For the umpteenth time, she sighed that this white night was really smart.
For the name, of course you can't fill in "Bai Shuang Xing"——
The background here is a game after all, and in the game, no one would write down their real names honestly and foolishly.
For games, of course, you have to let yourself go and play as you like, and it’s best to reduce the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere in the white night.
After thinking about it, Bai Shuangxing entered a few bold characters in the name column.
After the name is confirmed, the next step is her occupation.
"Here is the career box, you have six choices in total."
"In order to fit the personality, each option is generated based on your race and identity, and has a certain degree of suitability, please choose one of them!"
"Currently Available Occupations"
"Horror novelist, folklorist, hit man, thief, traveler, beggar"
Bai Shuangxing remembered that the system said that "race" and "occupation" can affect her character attributes.
Novelists and researchers looked weak, let alone thieves and beggars. Before thinking too long, she chose "professional killer".
Next is——
Looking down, Bai Shuang saw another typing box.
The system will give prompts in due course.
"This is the character information column. Here, you can freely set the character's personality, hobbies and past experiences."
"Reminder: The role of the character information column is limited to increasing the sense of substitution, and cannot affect attributes.
Even if you fill in "strong and strong", it will not increase your stamina.】
Bai Shuangxing nodded in response, thought for a while, and quickly entered the setting information in the box.
Lastly is the appearance of the character.
She didn't enter the white night alone, and there were several teammates by her side. If she changed her appearance, it would be difficult for others to recognize her.
Baishuangxing directly skips this step and clicks "Submit".
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations to the challenger for completing all the settings! We are sorting out information for you and designing a complete character..."
"Challenger: Rime Row"
"Character introduction: A vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, occasionally sneaks out in the dead of night, earning commissions by killing people.
A pretty girl who looks harmless, but has blood on her hands, uses her appearance to deceive innocent victims, and then sucks their blood dry.
After finishing an assassination mission, in order to relax, followed the tour group to the strange town."
Bai Shuangxing raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help admiring the system's ability to make things up.
Vampires, foreign tourists, professional killers, including her appearance, are all integrated into one story by it. At first glance, it is still very smooth.
She read this passage seriously, and a high-pitched system voice came to her ears.
"Character generation complete——"
"The game has officially begun!"
This white night challenge finally kicked off slowly.
A few glaring white lights flashed by, and when Bai Shuangxing opened his eyes again, he found himself in front of a forest.
Beside her, there are several men and women wearing old-fashioned shirts and cheongsams.
All strangers, no faces she knew.
Feeling something in his heart, Bai Shuangxing lowered his head and took a look at himself.
The woolen coat and knitted trousers on her body disappeared, replaced by a long cotton skirt.
Judging from the costumes, the story of this white night happened decades ago.
"Tourist guide."
In the line, a cut-length man in a suit said, "Are we really going into this woods?"
"It's spooky, and there's so much fog."
The woman beside him frowned: "It's just summer, so there won't be snakes and insects?"
"Tourist groups, tourist groups, don't you just want to have fun when traveling?"
Another middle-aged man sighed: "It's good now, it's turned into a hiking expedition, it's terrible."
"Please forgive me."
The man called the "tour guide" tried to apologize: "We said before we set off that the strange town is located in the depths of the forest and is isolated from the world. This forest is too dense to drive in, so we can only take a hard walk.gone."
"But you didn't tell us that the forest is so big."
The man in the suit glanced inside, showing a hesitant expression: "Snakes and bugs, I can accept it... But isn't this place often haunted? I heard that there are all kinds of weird monsters haunting... We don't know where to go in the woods."Will we meet?"
"How can there be so much nonsense."
The cut-headed man on the far right was impatient: "It's just a forest, can it scare you? You're so scared, don't sign up to come here in the first place."
Since the strange news in this small town spread like wildfire, they followed the guide and became the first group of guests who came to visit and explore.
Some people really want to see the legendary monsters and goblins. Of course, there are also people who love dragons and want to have a fresh idea.
Bai Shuangxing stood aside, looking at the nearby woods.
It was now evening, and the sun was swallowed up by Xishan, so it would not cause her any harm.
This forest is eerie and quiet, and there is no end in sight at a glance. Due to the dense branches and leaves, almost all the sunlight is covered.
The darkness is enough to make people feel frightened, and what is even more evil is that there is a dense mist like milk floating in the woods.
The shadows of the trees were pitch black, and the dense fog was pale with the color of death.
The fusion of the two phases is mysterious and unpredictable, which can easily make people fearful and stop moving forward.
Suddenly, in her mind, a long-lost mission panel appeared.
"Main Quest: Survivor"
[In the strange town, there is an eight-year-old boy named "Chen Sheng".Please find him and secure him in town within two days.】
"Side Quest: Unlocked"
"Personal role quest: not unlocked"
"Note: Depending on the identity, plot development, and different choices of the challenger, there may be a single-player easter egg mission, so stay tuned."
Chen Sheng.
Saying the name silently in his heart, Bai Shuangxing remembered the introduction of the game "Ghost Story Town".
Xue Zizhen said that the protagonist in the game is a child less than ten years old.
If Bai Ye uses the game as a carrier, could the "Chen Sheng" they need to protect be this protagonist?
"If there are tourists who don't want to enter the forest, they can leave immediately by car."
The tour guide was helpless: "This is the only way to the town."
He said, looking at Bai Shuangxing who had been silent all this time: "Miss, I don't know what your opinion is—?"
Bai Shuangxing returned a polite smile: "I don't mind walking in."
Of course she wants to go deep into the jungle.
The characters are randomly assigned by the lucky wheel, and most of them are the aborigines in the strange town. When the white night begins, they can be directly transferred to the town by the system.
She was the only one who won a foreign tourist, and she didn't even touch the edge of the town.
It’s all here, and it’s always a pity to say that gave up halfway.
Not long ago, the noisy people discussed for a while, but in the end they still reluctantly entered the woods.
Bai Shuang walked in the middle of the team.
"Everyone, in about ten minutes, we will be able to enter the ghost town."
The tour guide led the way at the front and introduced to them as they walked: "This town is very strange. After so many years, it has no name, but people live and work in peace and contentment, and it can be regarded as a paradise."
"However, just a few days ago, terrible changes took place in the town!"
Bai Shuangxing listened quietly, trying to avoid the lush weeds at his feet.
Fortunately, her skirt is long enough to cover most of her legs.
Not far away, a lady in a cheongsam was already exclaiming, irritated by mosquito bites.
"In the tomb, there will always be faint cries at night; on the corner of the street late at night, there is often a blood-red wedding dress floating in the air. If you look carefully, you will find a human corpse in the wedding dress, but it is missing limbs!"
His description of the red wedding dress is very graphic, Bai Shuangxing tried to imagine it, it was indeed a bit scary.
"Besides, there are human heads floating around, blood-eating monsters, and water ghosts appearing in the pond... It's terrifying!"
The man in the suit looked at him: "How do you know these things?"
"There are ghosts and monsters everywhere, do people in the town dare to stay?"
The tour guide said vividly: "Several families escaped overnight. No, they just told our travel agency—everyone, this is the exclusive news from the travel agency. You are the first group of tourists."
Bai Shuangxing raised his eyelashes: "As a tour guide, have you ever been to the strange town?"
"I did a field survey once."
The tour guide smiled: "I've already made a map with dangerous places marked on it, just try to avoid those places as much as possible."
"Wow!"
The little girl beside him was very interested: "Have you encountered any ghosts and ghosts there?"
"certainly."
After a pause, the tour guide lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Most ghosts hide in the middle of the night. I've seen a fox with three tails, and that red wedding dress!"
Thinking of his description of the red wedding dress, the little girl shivered.
"In town, you never know if you're meeting a human or a ghost."
The tour guide said seriously: "It's best not to go out at night. In case of danger, find a place to hide and don't make a sound."
After walking for two or three minutes, the fog in the woods became thicker and thicker.
At first they could still see the outlines of the trees, but now the fog was oppressive and oppressive.
The man in the suit turned pale: "Guide, when you came last time, was there such a thick fog?"
"No, no..."
The tour guide raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a flustered tone, "I came here before. Although it was foggy, I could barely see the road ahead. This..."
What's happening here?
"It should be due to the weather."
The inch-cut man said: "Let's speed up and move forward. When we reach the town, we'll be fine."
"exactly!"
The tour guide nodded again and again: "I brought a compass, I can tell the direction, and I will definitely not get lost - just follow me closely."
"Nothing will happen, right? It's all your fault, you insist on coming to this kind of place for excitement!"
The woman in the cheongsam glared at the man in the suit beside her, and rubbed her arms: "It's strange...why do you feel so cold all of a sudden?"
Bai Shuangxing blinked, and exhaled a breath of hot air into the palm of his hand.
It is not an illusion, the temperature in the forest is dropping sharply.
The chilly air was silent, penetrating into the skin from all directions, reminding her of the feeling when the Yin Qi entered her body in "Evil Ghosts Will Be Reflected".
Not far from them, there are likely to be ghosts hiding.
This is the first time that she has just entered the white night and immediately fell into crisis.
Realizing this, Bai Shuangxing raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the monitoring system in his mind.
This time, 520 is an image of a teacher, wearing an old-fashioned coarse cloth gown, standing on the spot with a serious expression.
She had been with 099 for a long time, and suddenly seeing such a serious monitoring system, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Sensing the mockery in her eyes, the little man in gray didn't change his expression, his expression was indifferent.
Baishuangxing, the owner of the "House of Ghosts and Ghosts".
As early as when she entered the White Night, 520 used the authority of the system to check her personal skills.
The recent White Night was not very stable. Some people made waves and overturned several challenges one after another. None of the monitoring systems were spared. It had heard of this incident.
Unexpectedly, happened to meet today.
In this regard, the monitoring system 520 has its own ideas.
Even if he tried to show his favor to her, it might not have a chance of survival. It would be better to strike first and gain the upper hand and let Bai Shuang die in the white night.
Thinking of this, it can't help being a little excited.
The feeling of being able to torture a high-spirited human being recklessly, watching her struggle to survive in despair, and finally die in agony, is incomparably wonderful.
It wants to let its useless colleagues see how Baishuangxing died here.
The forest is quiet, with occasional rustling of the wind.
The breeze was cold, and the chill soaked into the bone marrow. Suddenly, the woman in the cheongsam let out an exclamation——
Not far from them, there was the sound of someone running in the forest!
"What, what?!"
The man in the suit beside her was terrified, trembling like a frightened bird.
The sound became clearer, and in the silent deep forest, every sound seemed to step heavily on the eardrums.
Bai Shuangxing tensed up, followed the source of the sound, and saw a vague figure.
The figure approached, his movements flustered, and accompanied by the sound of swaying branches and leaves, he appeared in front of everyone.
—It turned out to be a shivering boy.
Colliding head-on with them, the boy was startled, tripped over a vine, and accidentally fell to the ground.
"...Little, kid?"
The man in the suit took a step back: "It can't be a ghost!"
Bai Shuangxing lowered his head and took a look: "There is a shadow."
Moreover, Li Gui can't wrestle halfway.
"Ding dong!"
The system voice suddenly sounded: "I see the task target, Chen Sheng."
"The countdown begins. Within two days, please protect Chen Sheng and survive."
The child appeared inexplicably, Bai Shuangxing was vigilant, and hadn't planned to get too close to him.
Thanks to this reminder indicating the identity of the other party, Bai Shuangxing heaved a sigh of relief and took a few steps forward.
She was about to lift the child up from the ground when she was caught off guard when she caught a glimpse of black air out of the corner of her eye.
In the next second, a translucent hand stretched out from the depths of the forest, firmly grasped the boy's ankle, and dragged him out!
...This is definitely not a human hand!
The woman in the cheongsam looked stunned and was about to speak when the tour guide covered her mouth.
"Hush."
The tour guide's face was pale, his voice was low and inaudible, trembling slightly with fear: "Did you forget what I said? Don't make a sound."
They are just ordinary people who come here to seek excitement. Once they collide head-on with ghosts and monsters, they will definitely die miserably.
Bai Shuang pursed her lips, thinking quietly.
In every white night, there are its established rules.
As the role of guiding her, the tour guide always emphasized "keep quiet" along the way, indicating that in this world, as long as you hide yourself, you may not be discovered by ghosts.
This is a life-saving trick.
But at this moment, the question in her mind is not how to hide herself tightly——
Chen Sheng was taken away.
Her main task is to protect that child. Once Chen Sheng's life is lost, she will be automatically counted as a challenge failure by the system.
Those who fail have only a dead end.
Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Shuangxing stepped lightly and rushed towards the direction where the boy was taken away.
The tour guide was scared out of his wits, and called her in vain from behind: "Little Great Aunt, what are you doing! Come back!"
Of course, the Baishuang line did not stop.
The deeper you go, the more intense the coldness around you becomes.
The woods in the evening are dark and boundless, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight leak through the gaps between the trees.
The mournful cries of the old crows could be heard beside the ears, and the overlapping reflections of the branches and leaves looked like the skinny arms of a ghost waving.
The boy had been struggling hard, kicking his legs against the grass, making intermittent noises.
With this voice, Bai Shuangxing determined his direction, and suddenly raised his head——
She held her breath and her heart tightened.
Thick fog filled the air, and a gray-white head protruded from the edge of the bushes less than two meters away from her.
Next came its translucent body.
This ghost was lifeless, its eyes were lifeless, and the top of its head seemed to have been severely bitten, with a large hole torn open, exposing the bloody inside.
Looking intently, its arms, chest and thighs were also covered with torn bloodstains everywhere, which was horrible.
And behind it, there are many figures that are exactly the same as it, with faces ashen ashes.
The gathering of evil spirits brings indescribable oppression.
The ambient temperature dropped to the lowest level, Bai Shuang walked around and found a big tree to hide his body.
She found Chen Sheng.
Surrounded by ghosts with expressionless faces, it is an indelible psychological shadow for any ordinary child.
The boy was so weak that he fell to the ground in embarrassment, crying loudly as he felt his fate of imminent death.
Bai Shuangxing clicked on Bai Ye's shopping mall interface.
She has no way to exorcise ghosts. If she wants to rescue Chen Sheng in this situation, she can only rely on exorcism charms.
Planning the next route in her heart, she silently raised her eyes to observe the surrounding environment through the white mist.
With her speed, she can quickly rush to the boy's side, and then face the attack of these ghosts...
There are few ghosts in the east, so it is the best location.
Baishuang Xing quickly drew up a plan and was about to launch an operation when, without warning, a sound sounded from a distance——
Probably, it was a gong and drum?
What was even more unexpected was that when the gong sounded, all the ghosts present stopped moving.
Immediately afterwards, a second later, Bai Shuangxing watched them turn around quietly, as if under some irresistible temptation, he no longer paid attention to the crying boy, but walked forward step by step, towards the source of the gong sound.
……what?
There were ghosts and shadows for a while, and when the last ghost disappeared into the distance, a figure appeared from the bushes facing her.
The boy was tall and tall, his footsteps were deliberately lowered, and he didn't make a sound.
When he appeared, he went straight to Chen Sheng who was slumped on the ground, picked up the boy, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
It is monsoon Pro.
After finally meeting his teammates, President Bai Shuang let out a breath and stepped out of the woods.
Seeing a shadow suddenly appeared from the corner of the eye, Ji Fenglin frowned and raised his head, just as he pulled out the knife from his waist, he met her eyes.
He was taken aback for a moment, the coldness in his eyes receded, and he was a little dazed: "...Sister?"
Without waiting for Bai Shuangxing to answer, he glanced at the thick fog in the distance: "Let's find a place to hide first. The sound of the gong can only attract them for a short time, and it won't last long."
There are wandering ghosts everywhere in the woods, and the three of them hide behind a cluster of bushes.
The boy was held in Ji Fenglin's arms, he didn't dare to make a sound, he was so tired from crying, he could only grit his teeth and sob continuously.
Ji Fenglin patted him on the head and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, we will take you out."
Baishuangxing looked around, confirmed that it was absolutely safe here, and turned his attention to Monsoon Lin.
Just like her, Ji Fenglin's costume also changed.
The long skirt she was wearing was exquisite, soft and expensive; Ji Fenglin only wore a simple white dress, the fabric was rough, and there were a few thread ends on the cuffs.
Feeling her gaze, the other party raised his eyelashes.
"Kid, what's going on with this forest?"
Their eyes met briefly, Bai Shuangxing smiled, and looked at Chen Sheng in his arms: "Why did you come here alone?"
The boy, still sobbing, hiccupped when he heard her voice.
"In town..."
He said in a crying voice: "Everyone has become a monster..."
Ji Feng Lin Wen said: "Do you want to escape?"
Chen Sheng nodded.
Parents, teachers and friends, neighbors in the neighborhood, everyone around him has become very strange since some time.
He tried to escape, and also tried to wake them up, but the result was always a deeper and more terrifying nightmare.
So he wants to leave.
"Everyone turned into a monster?"
Bai Shuangxing was curious: "Are the ghosts in the town turned from the residents?"
Unlike Ji Fenglin, she was assigned the role of an outsider who knew nothing about the situation in the town.
Now that this topic has been mentioned, Bai Shuangxing simply cut to the chase: "My identity is a foreign tourist, and I just came in from outside the woods."
Ji Fenglin nodded: "At least 30% of the people in the town have mutated—my body is one of them."
After organizing some words, he continued: "After the mutation, their behavior has also become very abnormal. It seems that they have forgotten some human instincts, and they have been inspired by the ferocious nature of ghosts."
Ghosts are rampant in today's town. As for real human beings, if they are not careful, they will become their dinner.
And they have to protect the child and live in the town for two full days.
Chen Sheng was chased and intercepted by a group of fierce ghosts. He was already exhausted, but now he was hugged into a warm embrace, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after.
Seeing him close his eyes, Bai Shuangxing lowered his voice: "By the way, where is your identity?"
"I"
For some reason, Ji Fenglin hesitated for a moment: "I am a werewolf and live in the town. In this white night, I can stimulate my potential once and greatly improve my physical fitness and melee combat effectiveness."
He was too honest, and when we first met, he told her all the information like pouring beans.
"I'm a vampire."
Bai Shuangxing smiled: "After sucking blood, the effect is similar to yours."
After speaking, he felt curious again, Ji Fenglin didn't seem to be concealing it intentionally, but directly omitted his identity and occupation.
What will he be?
"And the sound of the gong just now."
Ji Fenglin said: "That is Shen Chan's personal prop. She chose the profession of 'watchman' and got a more useful iron gong. After ringing, it can quickly attract the attention of ghosts within fifteen meters——In the white night, it can only be used twice."
Bai Shuangxing suddenly realized.
So when the ghosts heard the sound of the gong, they all left here together.
"Both she and I were teleported to the edge of the forest in the town, and received a system prompt to enter the forest to find Chen Sheng."
Ji Feng smiled: "After discovering Chen Sheng, Shen Chan rang the gong fifteen meters away, and left quickly before the ghost arrived; I was responsible for saving the child."
Fifteen meters is not long or short, the time spent by the ghost on the road is enough for Shen Chan to hide in the bushes beside him.
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, his voice fell, and in the forest not far away, there was the rustling sound of leaves rustling.
Shen Chan cautiously poked her head out from behind a tree and saw Bai Shuangxing, with surprise on her face: "Shuangshuang! Are you okay?"
The ghosts found the boy missing and were hunting the nearby woods.
Showing up and making noise now will definitely become a target of public criticism, so the three of them decided to hide obediently and wait for the weather to calm down.
Several teammates finally reunited, Bai Shuangxing briefly introduced his game role, and Shen Chan was taken aback.
"The killer, the vampire, has earned enough money to travel here."
Shen Chan pointed to herself, and then to Ji Fenglin: "This gap between the rich and the poor... Do you know why his character and I appear by the forest?"
Bai Shuangxing: "...Escape?"
Shen Chan shook her head.
"My parents are dead, my family is poor, and I live in a thatched cottage on the edge of the town. Every day, I can perform "The Song That Thatched Cottage Was Broken by the Autumn Wind" live."
She sighed: "The reason why I came to the woods is to cut some wood and build a table for my family."
Speaking of this, she raised her right hand and showed the iron gong in her hand: "It's miserable, it's miserable, it's young, but it makes a living by beating. As for him—"
Shen Chan looked at Ji Fenglin: "You say it or I say it?"
Monsoon Pro: ...
Ji Fenglin: "You don't need to say anything."
He showed such resistance, but it aroused Bai Shuangxing's curiosity: "What's wrong with him?"
Shen Chan looked like a jovial person, and kept laughing: "Student Xiao Ji, the famous tofu Xishi in the town, it is said that he is very diligent and thrifty in managing his family, and he plans to pick some fruits in the woods to eat."
Bai Shuangxing remembered.
When choosing an identity... On the lucky wheel, there is indeed an option called "Tofu Pretty Beauty".
Can anyone really switch to this thing???
She was speechless for a while, and looked at Ji Fenglin: "You—"
Ji Fenglin's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and the bases of his ears turned red. He was inexplicably awkward, and avoided her gaze.
"So," Bai Shuangxing pursed his lips to hide his smile, and changed the subject, "Is our task all about protecting Chen Sheng?"
"The main task is the same, everyone has a different exclusive task."
Shen Chan shrugged: "I think it's quite interesting, almost like playing a game."
If the game doesn't endanger lives, all the better.
"but"
Thinking of the other two teammates, Bai Shuangxing sighed: "We only gather three people, I don't know how Chuchu and Xue Zizhen are doing."
"In the white night, if someone dies and is eliminated, the system will issue a notification. Now the system is silent, and they should be safe."
Shen Chan said: "Besides, the strange talk town is only so small in total, so it's not difficult to find someone."
Bai Shuangxing nodded.
After the costumes were changed, the mobile phones also disappeared, and they had no way to communicate directly.
Even with a mobile phone, looking at the background of the current era, it is estimated that you will not be able to make a call.
"There are a lot fewer ghosts wandering around."
Ji Fenglin said in a low voice, "Get out of the forest as soon as possible."
He was right, after such a period of time, the ghosts gradually dispersed.
At least within their field of vision, everything around them is peaceful.
The three quickly reached a consensus, and Ji Fenglin quickly got up from the bushes with the sleeping boy in his arms.
"I remember the direction of the town."
Ji Fenglin said, "Go straight to the left."
"anyway"
Walking quickly through the woods, Bai Shuangxing realized a problem: "Since the town has become so weird, why don't people move away?"
"First, this town is isolated from the rest of the world. Most residents are used to life here and are reluctant to leave."
Ji Fenglin paused for a moment: "Second... Since the mutation has deepened, they can no longer leave."
Bai Shuangxing was startled: "What do you mean?"
Ji Fenglin turned his head, glanced past her, and looked behind her: "Look."
Bai Shuang turned around, breathing slightly stagnant.
She saw black shadows covering the sky.
White mist rose everywhere, and ghostly shadows floated in the air, forming a creepy wall.
They are not ghosts, they don't have self-awareness, they are erratic, like pairs of dark eyes.
"People in the town said that at first, some people did escape."
Shen Chan rubbed the center of her brows: "Later, these things appeared in the forest. Anyone who wanted to escape would be swallowed by them once they crossed the limit, turning them into irrational lunatics."
Therefore, even though the town was full of dangers, their task was not to take the boy away, but to stay in the town and protect him for two days.
Two days later, when they leave...
What kind of fate awaits Chen Sheng?
Bai Shuangxing didn't dare to think about it.
The tour guide said that it would take about ten minutes to walk through the woods.
The people in the tour group knew the exact direction of the town, and they also knew that they could not make any noise. If they were careful enough, they would definitely be able to arrive smoothly.
Now, the only thing Baishuangxing needs to worry about is themselves being hunted around by ghosts.
The fog around her persisted for a long time, Shen Chan comforted in a low voice:
"Don't worry. I heard from people in the town that although there are many unclean things in the forest, as long as you go back to the town, they won't come out."
Between the small town and the forest, there is a layer of enchantment that blocks ghosts, which can ensure the safety of the town residents.
Then, they just keep moving forward without making a sound.
Hearing her words, the monitoring system 520 secretly laughed in the void.
Innocent and stupid human beings.
Since the main task is to ask them to protect Chen Sheng, then this kid must have something special about him.
——As long as you bring Chen Sheng with you, there is a high probability of attracting ghosts.
Before they hid in the bushes, Chen Sheng's aura was blocked by the branches and leaves. Now that they left the bunker, the fragrance of human flesh and blood spread out, and the ghosts would soon notice it.
By that time, the scene must be very exciting.
520 can't wait.
As it turns out, it guessed right.
Although the three walked very lightly and avoided many ghosts in front of them in advance, when passing by a pine forest, Bai Shuangxing vaguely caught a glimpse of a strange shadow.
It was a dead man.
The neck was broken, as if it had been bitten by a ferocious beast, the blood mixed with the meat, and flowed to the heart.
It was staring at them for an unknown how long.
The moment the four eyes met, the evil ghost grinned and revealed a treacherous smile.
it has started.
520 was in a good mood, conjured up a chair on the spot, and sat down slowly.
This is its warning to this group of human beings.
Because of Chen Sheng's existence, ghosts will follow the breath and find them without any effort.
Once they are targeted by one of the ghosts, what awaits them is endless pursuit.
And, not only that...
520 shook his body, with a smile on his lips.
The scariest thing in this forest is not the ubiquitous, bloody and frightening ghosts.
Those black shadows floating in mid-air have the power to confuse the mind and plunge people into fear.
Countless people went crazy because of them, and their psychological defense was instantly defeated, and these three young people were no exception.
The first ghost cast a cold gaze, paused for a moment, and rushed towards them.
Shen Chan did not hesitate: "Run!"
They are about to reach the end of the forest, as long as they grit their teeth, they can rush out smoothly——
Just as this thought came to mind, layers of shadows emerged from the dense forest on the left.
One after another, ghosts came upon hearing the news.
Under the tree closest to them, a ghost with a bloody face raised his mouth slightly: "I found you."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.
Xue Zizhen frowned, running alone among the shadows of the trees, his pace was extremely fast.
Although she is the investigator in charge of Bai Ye, she has never personally experienced Bai Ye——
There is no way, the appearance of Bai Ye is irregular, even if you want to look for it, it is very difficult to find it.
This is her first time entering the White Night Challenge.
She was assigned the status of "Chen's nanny". After discovering that Chen Sheng was missing, she was prompted by the system to come to the forest to take him home.
As a result, after wandering around in the woods for more than ten minutes, he never saw the child.
I have encountered a lot of ghosts.
Thinking of this, Xue Zizhen gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.
Those ghosts were like dog skin plasters sticking to her back, they couldn't be shaken off, and they gathered more and more, leaving her nowhere to hide.
Xue Zizhen has received professional training and is not afraid of their hideous appearance, but in this eerie and dense forest, she can't help but feel uncontrollable depression.
Such a situation has been recorded in the Baiye archives.
Some surveillance systems prefer "spiritual pollution" to pure visual impact.
Fog, blood, and the sound hovering in the ear are all their common media, used to erode human will and gradually disintegrate the psychological defense line.
After staying in this kind of place for a long time, most people will go crazy directly.
Damn.
With a curse in his heart, Xue Zizhen blocked his ears.
The ghost following her was stealthily, chasing after her, while chanting ravings from her mouth——
They are calling her name.
"Xue Zizhen".
"Xue Zizhen... Hee, come on, come with us..."
"Xue Zizhen...stop!"
"Xue Zizhen, where are you?"
The sound hit her ears, as if it had the power to confuse people's hearts, it made her extremely anxious, and panic and fear arose from the bottom of her heart.
She finally understands why so many people get lost in this forest.
Forcibly stabilizing his consciousness, Xue Zizhen forced himself not to listen to the words behind him, and continued to look for the task object Chen Sheng.
She was faintly worried.
The beginning of this white night is a killing game, and even she is almost unable to support it, and don't know what happened to those young students.
...hope it's all right.
The whispers and chuckles behind her were getting closer, and suddenly, three familiar figures running appeared in her field of vision.
Xue Zizhen's heart skipped a beat.
It was Hoarfrost who did them.
In Ji Fenglin's arms, he was holding a child.
Meeting her on a narrow road, Bai Shuangxing also saw her, showed a happy expression, smiled and waved.
Xue Zizhen couldn't laugh.
A place not far from them was also followed by mighty black shadows, full of murderous aura, and the situation was no better than hers.
But... on the faces of these three people, why is there no look of pain and fear?
The wind picked up for a moment, and Xue Zizhen heard the noise coming from behind them.
The chaos and chatter are reminiscent of the huge waves sweeping the world, and they can be swallowed up in one fell swoop without any effort.
Grinning, screaming, crying, urgent pleading, crazy singing.
All kinds of voices were mixed together, a fierce ghost opened its bloody mouth, let out a fierce and hoarse whistle, as if desperate for life, and called Bai Shuangxing's name in a sharp voice——
Li Gui: "Today..."
Li Gui: "I want to be full of energy today...!"
Xue Zizhen didn't react for a while.
Xue Zizhen: ...?
Finally realizing something, she silently focused and raised her gaze.
This is an adventure game, so each player has his own ID marked above his head.
That is, the name they set before.
On Bai Shuangxing's head, there were nine large characters:
[I want to be full of energy today too].
She doesn't understand.
She didn't want to understand either.
How could a normal carbon-based creature set its game title as [Let's be full of energy today]???
As for the other two beside her——
Xue Zizhen's eyebrows twitched heavily.
At the same time as she moved her gaze, a ghost shed tears of blood, with a shrill voice.
Its voice was full of resentment, and it shouted hoarsely: "For the party and the people—!"
Another evil spirit then roared, trying to catch Shen Chan: "Dear mother!"
That's right.
The game names of Ji Fenglin and Shen Chan are [For the Party and the People] and [Respected Mother] respectively.
Originally, this should be an extremely terrifying scene.
Fierce ghosts are like a tide, calling their names tirelessly, making people sink into it deeply, falling into boundless madness and fear.
However, the real situation is that half of the ghosts have ferocious faces, chanting "for the party and the people" frantically, and the awe-inspiring righteousness under the red flag is everywhere in their words;
The other half of the evil spirits, with their rotten and smelly heads on their heads, yelled loudly, "Let's be full of energy today." In all fairness, the picture was so beautiful that Xue Zizhen didn't want to take a second look.
As for those caught in the middle, they are like tadpoles looking for their mothers, calling for their mothers.
It's outrageous and witty.
No one would feel fear in such a scene.
Yes, witty.
Xue Zizhen never thought that this word could be associated with Bai Ye one day.
In his mind, the monitoring system 520 fell silent for a long time.
For a while, it didn't want to talk anymore.
——Is this how the game is played?Why did its carefully designed spiritual infection become such a virtue?What is going on with you humans?!
And Xue Zizhen raised his head slightly, looking at the cursor above his head.
When choosing the name of the game, she entered [Xue Zizhen] without hesitation, very silly and naive.
Xue Zizhen: ...
The cold wind brushed the messy hair around the woman's ears, and she felt a little confused.
In this abnormal world, her normality seemed so abnormal.
