    Bai Shuangxing's fingertips were a little hot.

    Strange to say, she clearly took a step back and moved her right hand away from Ji Fenglin's ear. The surrounding air was icy and cold, but in her palm, it was like an invisible fire.

    "...It seems to be different."

    Bai Shuangxing smiled: "However, it's very comfortable."

    Werewolves have bigger ears than cats and dogs, and are more satisfying to touch.

    When wrapped in her palm, the whole wolf ear would vibrate slightly involuntarily, the fluff brushed against her skin, and the delicate itching passed through the blood vessels and veins, scratching her heart.

    It's a wonderful feeling, completely different from petting a cat and a dog.

    Bai Shuang pursed her lips and touched her ears.

    And...the atmosphere is not the same.

    There was a vague dryness in the air, she coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Then, I'm taking medicine."

    Ji Fenglin nodded, the gloom in his eyes dissipated, and he still had his usual harmless appearance: "Yes."

    The antidote is a small round pill sealed in a plastic sachet.

    Baishuang acted briskly, swallowing it in one fell swoop, and not long after, he heard a familiar beep.

    "Ding dong!"

    "Congratulations to the challengers who successfully exorcised the ghosts and found the antidote!"

    "Get the reward, the ghost card 'Painted Skin Ghost'!"

    "Painted Skin Ghost"

    "Using skin as a painting and painting as a body. This kind of ghost is cunning, good at disguising and deceiving, so be careful, don't be fooled by it."

    "The card has been included in the game atlas"

    "Gain experience points, the character level has been raised to level 3, challengers please continue to work hard!"

    "The happy bedtime story is over! I hope everyone can have a good dream tonight like Chen Sheng!"

    With the same tone of beating as always, Bai Shuangxing responded with a cold snort.

    When she came back to her senses, she was already in Chen Sheng's room.

    Ji Fenglin opened the game interface, adjusted the appearance of his character, and the pair of wolf ears disappeared.

    Wen Chuchu and Shen Chan stood side by side, a little dazed; Xue Zizhen stood by the door, maintaining the posture of opening the door.

    Looking at Chen Sheng again, several big living people suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, and suddenly appeared all at once. The boy sat on the edge of the bed, dumbfounded.

    He has experienced the life-and-death "hide-and-seek" and has a certain ability to accept such weird events.

    Bai Shuang said succinctly: "We were pulled into another dimension—how long has time passed?"

    "No, less than an hour."

    Chen Sheng had lingering fears, and glanced at them, not at ease: "You guys, are you all right?"

    Ji Feng Linwen smiled: "Yes. Don't think too much tonight, just sleep peacefully."

    After saying goodbye to Chen Sheng, they left the room and came to the corridor.

    "What the hell happened to you over there?"

    Shen Chan was stunned: "Wen Chuchu and I were still interrogating one of the maids, and suddenly we heard that we had passed the level."

    Wen Chuchu was also very curious: "Where is the ghost hiding? Is it on the dance floor? How did you find out?"

    The last is Xue Zizhen.

    Being replaced by Painted Skin Ghost for a whole round, she is full of question marks about this task.

    Bai Shuangxing took a deep look at her: "Are you okay?"

    She paused, and explained the ins and outs: "That ghost, disguised as Xue Zizhen."

    In just two sentences, it was like a huge thunder falling, making Wen Chuchu and Shen Chan's eyes wide open.

    Bai Shuangxing briefly explained the cause and effect, and when she heard "the ghosts are imitating their speech", Shen Chan felt a chill in her heart.

    She was the first person to meet "Xue Zizhen".

    When I found "Xue Zizhen" in the ballroom, the other party was standing in the crowd, listening to the men and women around me talking loudly. At that time, Shen Chan thought she was looking for clues, so she didn't care.

    Later, "Xue Zizhen" was taciturn, and Shen Chan only thought that she was withdrawn and didn't like to talk.

    Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be like this.

    ... She stayed side by side with a ghost for an unknown how long.

    Wen Chuchu's complexion was even worse.

    She has always been afraid of this kind of plot, walking with the ghosts, eerie and weird, far more terrifying than pure massacres by force.

    "After the side mission started, I entered a chaotic and dim space, with no one or anything around me."

    Xue Zizhen said: "In Baiye's file, there is a similar record - some dungeons will limit the number of people, and the extra people need to wait on the sidelines."

    "Fortunately, I found it."

    Wen Chuchu felt terrified, and lightly said in his heart: "To actually make Li Gui look like one of us, Bai Ye is really a thief."

    From the beginning to the end, she never doubted Xue Zizhen at all.

    Speaking of this, the voice of the proprietress came from downstairs: "Guests, have you finished your story?"

    Bai Shuangxing remembered.

    Before they entered the side mission, the proprietress said that she was preparing supper for the guests.

    Leaving from a thrilling confrontation, she and Ji Fenglin were especially exhausted and needed to replenish their energy.

    After going downstairs, Bai Shuangxing took a breath when he smelled the warm and fragrant food.

    "Half an hour ago, I went upstairs and called again."

    The proprietress smiled lightly, twisting her neck slightly: "At that time, everyone was telling stories, so I will heat the dumplings in the pot first."

    tell a story.

    Repeating this sentence silently in her heart, Wen Chuchu was in a complicated mood.

    The Painted Skin Ghost this time caused her a lot of psychological shadow. They struggled to survive in the side missions, but when the proprietress said it, they became ordinary three words.

    Speaking of this, the woman in the cheongsam lowered her head, the round holes where her eyes were located were dark and deep, and looked at the book in Ji Fenglin's hand.

    After telling the story, he once borrowed "Fantasy Collection" from Chen Sheng.

    The proprietress: "Book—"

    "We are very interested in this book."

    Xue Zizhen reacted quickly: "After telling a story, everyone really likes the style of the book, so they want to borrow it to read."

    This passage is really outrageous, but she said it without changing her face.

    "so."

    Proprietress's smile deepened, the corners of her mouth were split, and raised to the height of her nose: "Look slowly. Remember to return... Chen Sheng."

    "I heard from Chen Sheng that many of the stories in this book were written by you and the boss."

    Bai Shuangxing took the opportunity to speak, trying to ask clues: "Why did you come up with such a story?"

    The other party was silent for a few seconds, looked dazed for a moment, then returned to smiling, and replied calmly: "I have nothing to do, just relieve boredom."

    She spoke intermittently, and quickly took her leave.

    The atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed, Bai Shuangxing sat at the table and rubbed his stomach.

    Tonight's supper is dumplings, which are fragrant and steaming.

    She has been fighting Painted Skin Ghost for too long, and has never rested since entering the white night, so she is exhausted now.

    The hotel is full of weirdness, but the dumplings taste pretty good.

    After the back of the proprietress disappeared, Ji Fenglin opened the "Fantasy Collection" in his hand.

    Undoubtedly, it must be an important prop in this white night, and it is likely to be closely related to the main line.

    In the following time, several people watched it from beginning to end while recovering their strength.

    Without exception, the book is full of extremely bloody and cruel stories.

    Innocent people were brutally murdered, and their deaths were miserable; ghosts were rampant, and ordinary people had nowhere to escape and could only be slaughtered.

    The red wedding dress, the painted skin ghost, the ghost, the man-eating cat demon... every kind of ghost has murderous intentions in it, lurking secretly in the night, waiting for an opportunity to move.

    "I just asked the proprietress about the original intention of creating the story, and she was obviously taken aback."

    Bai Shuangxing said: "Chen Sheng doesn't remember why Mom and Dad wrote this story... Bai Ye tried his best to hide this point, which means it is a key piece of information."

    However, Chen Sheng had completely forgotten about it, and it was impossible for the proprietress to tell them in person.

    "How did you come up with these stories? Children will become psychotic if they listen to them for a long time."

    Wen Chuchu frowned: "Not only ghosts, but also angels, land immortals and gods are all bad species, thinking about killing people all day long."

    At this moment, "Fantasy Collection" was placed flat on the table, and on the opened page, there were several large characters written on the title:

    The end of fantasy.

    This is the penultimate page, which symbolizes the end of everything.

    The protagonist of the story is not a certain person, but a small town isolated from the world.

    One day, the God of Light came here, and the residents of the small town paid homage to it devoutly, but they didn't realize that this was the beginning of a catastrophe.

    The god was not as merciful as they imagined. He was ruthless in nature and wanted to kill. He held a bloody sacrifice with the lives of all the residents in the town.

    Wen Chuchu's scalp felt numb.

    "Chen Sheng said that the original story was not like this."

    Shen Chan sighed: "In the real world, he and his parents must have encountered a huge change, which created resentment, formed a white night, and caused the plot to undergo a 180-degree reversal."

    As for what the "accident" is, there are too few clues at present, so they can't guess it.

    "We're going to be here for two days."

    Bai Shuangxing's attitude is very good: "Now only a quarter of the time has passed, of course it is impossible to find the answer directly-everyone has worked hard for so long, why not take a good rest and see the situation tomorrow."

    She was right, and the others also felt more or less sleepy. After discussing for a while, they went back to their bedrooms.

    When returning to the room, Bai Shuangxing observed carefully and found that no matter the corridor or the guest room, the curtains were all closed.

    Chen Sheng said that this was to avoid the shadows roaming the streets.

    Although she was very curious, she would not be reckless enough to lose her mind, and opened the curtains without being sure, violating the rules of the white night.

    Poking the dark green curtain with his hand, Bai Shuangxing thought for a moment, washed up and went to bed.

    The entire white night was tense and oppressive, she was so tired, as soon as her head touched the pillow, endless drowsiness flooded her.

    A night without dreams.

    The next day, Bai Shuangxing was woken up by a system sound like an alarm clock.

    "Ding dong ding dong ding dong!"

    "It's another happy new day, Chen Sheng seems to have something to say to you."

    "Quickly get up and go out, ask him what he thinks!"

    Hoarfrost Walk: ...

    Bai Shuangxing turned over, just wanting to silence the voice in his head.

    It was mid-sun when she woke up, she opened the door, just in time to see Chen Sheng wandering in the corridor.

    Caught off guard and meeting her eyes, the boy was taken aback and shivered.

    Bai Shuangxing: "What's wrong?"

    While talking, other people came out of the room one after another.

    Chen Sheng hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and then replied in a low voice: "I... I have something to discuss with you."

    Xue Zizhen nodded: "What's the matter?"

    "yes"

    Chen Sheng glanced behind him, confirmed that his parents were not there, and then lowered his voice: "Do you want to get out of town?"

    He paused and gritted his teeth: "I know a way to get out... If you stay here, everyone will have a dead end. Do you dare to leave with me?"

    There are too many people in the hotel, and the corridors are not safe.

    Several people gathered in Ji Fenglin's room, listening to Chen Sheng's talk about "how to get out".

    "The Misty Forest is located to the south, and everyone knows the way out."

    The boy was very disturbed: "In the cave to the north... there is actually a dark river."

    Xue Zizhen understood: "You want to go by water."

    "Ok."

    Chen Sheng nodded timidly: "Very few people know about that road. I heard my parents mention it once - they all thought it was too dangerous and wouldn't let me go."

    "If you already knew about another exit," Ji Fenglin said, "why take the risk of going to the Misty Forest?"

    "I...I tried, tried to go north."

    Fear appeared in Chen Sheng's eyes: "There are wandering monsters everywhere in the north. If I'm alone, I won't be able to get through."

    He trembled all over, with horror in his eyes, but also begging: "Are you willing to stay here forever?"

    "Ding dong!"

    "Heaven never seals off all exits, there is actually a dark river at the northernmost part of the ghost town!"

    "As long as you reach your destination, maybe you can leave the town and survive."

    "The main mission has been updated!"

    "Continue to spend a pleasant day with Chen Sheng, the goal is the dark river in the north!"

    "In the town, you are the only ones who are still normal."

    Thinking of something, Chen Sheng turned pale: "Last night... there were two people in the tour group who didn't believe in evil. They opened the window in the middle of the night to find out. Today they were found dead in the room. Their heads—"

    "The head is gone."

    Shen Chan raised her eyebrows: "There are also many people in the tour group, so you never thought about going to them for help?"

    After finishing speaking, I remembered my character design, straightened my back and patted my chest: "Don't be afraid in a low voice! Since you came to me, I will not disappoint your trust!"

    "them……"

    Chen Sheng had a bitter face: "They were terrified, and many of them dared not even go out."

    Except for Chen Sheng, everyone knew that the tourists in the tour group were all part of this white night.

    Firstly, they are not real people, and secondly, bringing them along will add to the burden, so there is no need to invite them.

    "We're all fine."

    Bai Shuangxing raised his eyes, looked out of the window, and avoided the sun: "Since you have decided to go to the north, then act quickly - the town will not be safe when it gets dark."

    In order to avoid direct sunlight, Bai Shuangxing borrowed an umbrella from the proprietress.

    Shen Chan always felt that an umbrella was not enough, so she opened the system mall and exchanged it for a pair of sunglasses for her.

    When going to the lobby to have breakfast, Bai Shuangxing looked around, but did not see any tourists in the tour group.

    "They."

    The proprietress smiled: "Two guests had accidents last night, and the others were taken aback. They all said they had no appetite and didn't want to eat."

    Chen Sheng buried his head in his meal and remained silent.

    After breakfast, the boy seriously made up an excuse, claiming that Baishuangxing came from other places to travel and was very interested in the customs and customs of the town. Today he happened to have free time, so he could take her around.

    The proprietress readily agreed, and did not forget to remind: "Hush, be sure to come back before dark."

    Chen Sheng nodded and left the hotel, Bai Shuangxing noticed that his eyes were red.

    Ji Fenglin also noticed this, and asked him with lowered eyes: "What's wrong?"

    The boy lowered his head: "When I used to go out...my mother would say the same."

    Now things in the town are different, everything has become strange to him, even his parents are no longer the two people they were in the past.

    Chen Sheng couldn't help feeling sad.

    Xue Zizhen asked: "Before the town changed, were there no signs?"

    Chen Sheng thought for a while, then shook his head.

    "In the beginning, one figure after another appeared in the forest."

    He shuddered: "That night, all the people walking on the street... Not long after, the living people became more and more strange, and the town became more and more dangerous."

    silhouette...

    Bai Shuangxing held an umbrella and drew a key mark in his heart.

    The human figure is the beginning of the mutation, and it is also the monster that gives her the strongest sense of oppression. If they can find out their origin, perhaps, they can get important clues.

    "Speaking of the north," she looked at Chen Sheng, "Do you know what kind of ghosts are there in the north?"

    "I only saw a few children jumping around, and a red wedding dress."

    Chen Sheng swallowed: "I heard from others that there are monsters that eat people's hearts."

    Wen Chuchu was taken aback: "A child jumping around...?"

    Sounds weird, what kind of a scene is that?

    Before Chen Sheng could answer, Wen Chuchu had the answer the next moment——

    They were walking on the street with closed doors and windows on both sides, empty and deserted.

    And not far away, in the middle of the road, stood six young children.

    A child stood in a corner with his back to the others; behind him, the remaining five children seized the opportunity and quickly approached him.

    Shen Chan: "This is... the one-two-three wooden man?"

    She guessed right, but compared to the usual "one, two, three wooden men", the scene in front of her was a little more weird and frightening.

    Those children turned their backs to them, they couldn't see their faces clearly, and when they all approached the children in the corner... it wasn't "running".

    As Chen Sheng said, they were dancing.

    The children's legs are close together, their bodies are stiff and straight, and their hands are tightly attached to their thighs. At first glance, they look like a straight line.

    His body was stiff, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time. This was definitely not a normal, human body.

    Shen Chan had goosebumps all over her arms.

    As her voice fell, a faint wind blew across the street.

    As if sensing someone behind them, the children all turned their heads 180 degrees at the same time.

    The immature faces were bloodless, showing a decadent gray, when they caught a glimpse of them, there was a strange smile on their expressionless faces.

    "Chen Sheng—"

    The children all spoke together and raised the corners of their mouths: "Let's play together."

    Shen Chan: ...

    Shen Chan: Go away, brat!

    As expected, the system tone arrived late.

    "Ding dong!"

    "A happy day, how can I not have the company of my friends."

    "The most indispensable thing in childhood is a game!"

    Wen Chuchu had thousands of complaints in her heart: "Is this a 'friend'? You still have to jump in the game? My childhood was not like this!"

    Hoarfrost walks to help the forehead.

    With hide-and-seek gems in front, no matter how outrageous a "game" she encounters, she can reluctantly accept it.

    Ji Fenglin remained silent, standing in the direction where the sun hung high, blocking most of the sunlight for her.

    The tone of the system is cheerful:

    "While walking in the small town with Chen Sheng, I ran into some friends on the street, why not join them."

    Xue Zizhen on the side just wanted to sneer.

    The white night they lived in was based on the game "Ghost Story Town".

    She had heard about the operation mode of this game, which required the player to control the protagonist, meet different monsters in the small town, and start various adventures with the monsters.

    The game style is wild and unconstrained, as for what they are encountering now...

    Probably the dark version.

    To be able to live the daily life in the small town like this is also considered the first person in all times and in all over the world.

    The field of vision was shrouded in darkness, and in an instant, a brand new picture emerged.

    Bai Shuangxing remained silent, and when he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a cluster of red light.

    It's a lantern.

    Dark red lanterns hung high, illuminating the surrounding scene.

    This scene was in the middle of the night, and the stars and the moon could not be seen in the sky, but she was standing under the eaves, looking up, the courtyard was deep, and the corridors connected each other.

    This is an ancient garden compound.

    The size of the courtyard is so large that you can't see the end at a glance. There are four high walls, cornices and angles, and there are winding corridors beside it, and there is no sound.

    There is no one else around her, presumably the same as in "hide and seek", the teammates were teleported to different places.

    Bai Shuangxing didn't relax his vigilance, and was about to take a step forward, when suddenly, there were rustling footsteps behind him.

    Something is wrong.

    She realized the trickiness in her footsteps, and turned around quickly without hesitation.

    The sound of footsteps was trampling, not as brisk and smooth as ordinary people, but heavy and clumsy one after another, and the interval between them was longer.

    It's not like running... like jumping.

    The moment he turned around, Bai Shuangxing's heart tightened.

    She guessed right, the neck of the "person" behind him was crooked, his bones seemed to be broken, his face was cold and gray, his hands were hanging by his sides, his legs were tightly closed...

    Step by step, jumping towards her.

    "Ding dong!"

    "Welcome everyone to Ghost Story Town! This time, the town life we will experience is——"

    "One, two, three wooden people!"

    The system sounded, and the "person" stopped moving.

    "Do you know the rules of this game?

    A little friend stood in the distance with his back to everyone, and the others quickly approached him.

    When he turned his back, everyone could move freely; once he shouted "one, two, three wooden men" and turned around, the other friends had to remain motionless."

    "This is a very classic game, and it is also a childhood memory of many people. In order to increase the fun of the game, this time, we have invited special guests!"

    Bai Shuangxing took a few steps back, keeping a distance from the "person" in front of him.

    "In this mansion, there are a total of thirty zombies wandering around."

    "Zombies will be attracted by the breath of humans. After the game starts, once you get close to them, challengers, please hold your breath."

    "During the game, everyone can hear the live broadcast.

    After saying "one, two, three wooden men", challengers must remain still and must not move; when "I turned around" sounds, it is time for free action.】

    "The end point is at the exit of the mansion. There will be a red light on the sky as a mark. Please go to the corresponding direction as soon as possible."

    "The rules are simple!"

    "Ready? Countdown for half an hour—

    Let's start the fun game!"

    The system sound dissipated, and Bai Shuangxing heard a soft "buzz".

    Immediately afterwards, the immature, cold and cold voice of a child came to my ears——

    "I turned around!"

    The game begins.

    In front of him was a zombie ready to go, Bai Shuangxing held his breath and moved tentatively.

    Fortunately, when she made a move, the other party ignored it.

    The atmosphere here is really depressing. After staying for a long time, my heart seems to be suppressed in a mess.She seized the time to quickly raise her head and look towards the horizon.

    The dome was pitch black, and in a certain corner, there was a dim red light.

    That's the exit.

    After confirming the direction, Bai Shuangxing quickly left the small courtyard, turned around the corner, saw the picture beside him, and couldn't help frowning.

    The system said that there are a total of thirty wandering dead bodies here.

    Behind the corner is a deep corridor. In the corridor alone, there are three shadows walking stiffly.

    Although she knew that they were not a threat now, she reflexively walked lightly, and suddenly, a chuckle came from her ear.

    "one two Three"

    "Blockhead!"

    Bai Shuangxing stopped moving instantly.

    In all fairness, this is one of the most intense games she has ever played.

    Because I don't know when the broadcast will appear, I have to tense my nerves all the time. As long as I am not careful, I will die without a burial site.

    and……

    When the voice next to my ear sounded, the words "one, two, three" were spoken clearly and slowly, and when it came to "wooden man", it took less than a second to finish it in an instant.

    The voice can change the frequency and speed of speech at will, and if they speak quickly in a sudden moment, they will have no time to react.

    What's more, there are still a large number of zombies in the house.

    Thinking of this, Bai Shuangxing turned his gaze and glanced at the figure beside him with his peripheral vision.

    It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when her eyes shifted and landed on the shadows in the veranda, Bai Shuangxing's heart skipped a beat and she held her breath.

    As we all know, among the "one, two, three wooden men", there is always a person who stands in the distance and turns his head quickly when calling out the password.

    She had thought that this time the game would only be broadcast by voice, but seeing the scene around her now, she felt a chill running down her spine, accompanied by a fluffy, vague chill.

    Nearby, far away, in the courtyard in the veranda, all the corpses in the same space as her all turned their necks at this moment, watching her quietly with distorted and strange postures.

    There was no sound in the surroundings, the air was thick and oppressive, and at the corners of their mouths, there were eerie smiles.

    His heart was beating non-stop, Bai Shuangxing remained still, his palms were sweating, and he remained silent.

    A few seconds later, the announcement sounded again.

    "Hee hee...I turned around!"
