Chapter 85 Death Survival Hotline (2)
On the phone, the woman's sobs were intermittent and suppressed very low.
The main mission clearly stated that the hosts should "seek truth from facts to find out." Soon, they may also encounter the same experience as women.
Bai Shuangxing seized the time and tried to ask for more effective information: "Don't worry, take your time. Why are you being hunted down?"
The woman choked up, crying more intensely.
"I went hiking with two friends, and it rained heavily on the way."
She said: "It just so happened that we passed by a villa at the time and decided to go in to avoid the rain."
Compared with the last young man, the despair and fear in her voice can almost overflow.
Shen Chan listened carefully and softened her voice to soothe her emotions: "Then what?"
"I knocked on the door...and it was answered by a young woman."
Thinking of something terrible, she trembled at the end of her voice: "She is very enthusiastic, and she looks like an ordinary person, except that she is very white...there are two children in the family, a boy and a girl, and they are also very strangely white."
"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I went into the house with my friends. The woman was cooking and shared some with us."
"At the dinner table..."
Speaking of this, she paused for a second: "At the dinner table, she told us a story."
Every sentence now is the key information, Bai Shuangxing concentrates and keeps them firmly in his heart.
"She said that this villa was a haunted house, and there used to be a family of four. The father of the family was bankrupt and unemployed, and he refused to go out.intend to take the child away."
"On that night... while his wife and children were asleep, the father took a kitchen knife and killed them."
The woman took a deep breath: "I was taken aback when I heard it. There are two children, a boy and a girl, who can just match up with the children at the dining table."
It was as if the dead mother and child in the story had become reality before her eyes.
Ji Fenglin: "In the villa you saw, there is no father?"
"No."
Seemingly hearing a strange sound, the woman on the other side of the phone paused for a long time.
She spoke again, and she speeded up her speech: "Later, everything went wrong. It rained heavily, and we had to stay in this villa. Not long after, when we passed the corridor, we saw..."
"I saw the boy's body!" she said.
Bai Shuangxing: "The child of the mistress of the villa?"
"yes."
The woman's voice trembled: "He died in a terrible state, he was stabbed... Immediately afterwards, there was the body of the girl, the body of the hostess, and my companion... They died one by one, and some even died.In front of me was..."
"But I can't find that person at all! Where did he do it? Where is he hiding? Why did he kill us?"
By the end, she was incoherent.
Shen Chan thought for a while and asked, "Didn't you guys try to escape from the villa?"
"It's useless, I'm—ah!"
There was a sudden hoarse scream on the phone.
The voice was too sharp, as if all the accumulated fear and despair had been condensed, and under the stimulation of severe pain, it exploded in an instant.
Ji Fenglin frowned: "Miss, what happened?"
The other party did not answer.
In response to him, there was only a heavy muffled thunder, the sound of a knife cutting through flesh, and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
On the other side of the phone, there was a beeping busy tone.
The call was cut off.
Shen Chan held the receiver in her hand, and for some reason, her back felt a little cold.
The oppressive feeling of this phone call far surpassed the previous one.
The pain of the woman is very real, and the sound of crying falls in her ears. Even as a bystander, she can feel the endless despair.
... an invisible ghost?
How to solve it?
"Ding dong!"
"The main mission has been updated!"
"Mission 2: Where is he?"
"A shocking murder many years ago turned the mountain villa into a haunted house that no one dared to approach.
Several young climbers strayed into it, but they didn't want to be hunted down by ghosts."
"Are there really ghosts in the world? If so, where is it hidden, why can Gods can't know, ghosts can't see, kill everyone in the villa?"
"Note: This program pays attention to seeking truth from facts, and will not ignore the demands of any audience.
Moderators, go find out the truth!"
"Current task: Find the hiding place of the ghost and kill it."
"Only in this way can you survive."
"What a great phone call!"
The octopus monster, who called itself Teacher Little Ke, giggled and covered its wide open mouth with its tentacles.
"It seems that this viewer's experience is a bit confusing! However, please don't forget the purpose of our program - "Death Survival Hotline", which will take you to discover the truth behind death!"
Bai Shuangxing looked at the taskbar in his mind, and heard it raise its voice: "Masters, are you ready?"
Of course no one responded to it.
The octopus monster didn't feel embarrassed, and continued on his own: "Then, immediately connect to the second scene..."
"Let the show officially begin!"
The scene in front of him changed instantly.
Baishuangxing was originally sitting on the presiding stage, but in the blink of an eye, his vision was filled with verdant green.
This is a forest.
Light rain was floating in the sky, falling on the body, bringing a wet and cool feeling.
The forest is deep and secluded, and it seems to be halfway up the mountain, with no top to the top and bottom to the bottom.
This is a very awkward position, no wonder the person on the phone chose to go to the villa to avoid the rain.
She was looking around at the scenery around her, caught off guard, and a black shadow was cast over her head.
There is also a little familiar fragrance.
Looking up, Ji Fenglin stood beside her, took off his coat, and put it on Baishuang's outfit.
"Maybe it's going to be big later."
His tone was flat, and when he spoke, he inadvertently raised his gaze, just in time to meet Shen Chan's thoughtful eyes.
Monsoon Pro: ...
Shen Chan: ...
Without saying a word, Shen Chan quickly took off her coat and put it on her head.
At the same time, a strange male voice sounded in the ear——
"Villa? How can there be a villa in this place?"
Bai Shuang followed the prestige and saw three young men in the shade of a tree not far away.
Two men and one woman were wearing sports jackets, and each carried a hiking bag behind them.
She immediately thought of the message on the phone.
"With two friends", "Mountain climbing", "Passing by a villa".
So... the woman among the three is the one who called them for help?
But how did they know in advance that there is a villa here?
Seeing Bai Shuangxing and others suddenly, the three climbers were also stunned.
"you"
The woman in the middle glanced at them and asked tentatively, "Are you also drawn into the white night?"
The voice was exactly the same as on the phone.
Shen Chan: "Huh?"
White, white night?!
Did they meet up with another challenger from White Nights?But this woman's voice, why...
"Ding dong!"
The system prompt sounds at an appropriate time.
"Please don't disclose the identity of the hosts, and don't tell them about the content of that call!"
Bai Shuangxing was also a little confused at first, but when he heard this reminder, he had a vague guess in his heart.
The three people in front of me happened to be able to match up with the phone. Since the woman had told what happened to them, there was no doubt that they were indeed dead.
The reason why the system keeps them secret is to not disclose the fact that the three died in advance.
They had guessed before that in the white night of surveillance system No. 444, a large number of ghosts were imprisoned——
The challengers who died in the white night were of course one of the ghosts.
In other words, the three people standing in front of them had already died in the white night.
At this moment, it was just a reappearance of the scene of that white night.
Shen Chan and Ji Fenglin also realized this, and their expressions changed slightly.
No wonder that during that phone call, even though the companions around her died one by one, the woman never left the villa.
"Ok."
After sorting out his thoughts, Bai Shuangxing smiled warmly: "We planned to take a walk in the mountains, but we didn't think about it, and suddenly we came here."
"Then we are teammates!"
The woman in the middle was very enthusiastic, and she smiled when she heard the words: "My name is Jiang Caiyun, the person on the left is Zeng Xu, and the person on the right is Li Ziyan."
Jiang Caiyun is tall and tall, looks to be in her twenties, with a single ponytail and piercing eyes.
Zeng Xu is a tall, burly man with a crew cut and very strong; Li Ziyan wears glasses, looks weak and weak, and smiles a little shyly.
Seeing them, Bai Shuangxing couldn't help but think of that phone call.
If the situation on the other end of the phone is completely true, in the white night that really happened...
The woman's screams in her memory were too cruel, and she didn't continue to think about it.
"My name is Shen Chan."
Shen Chan generously introduced the three people on her side one by one: "Is the task you received to enter the villa?"
She remembered that the other party mentioned "Villa" not long ago.
"Enter the villa and survive for a day."
Jiang Caiyun nodded without hiding anything: "You should be like this too."
In White Night, as long as the challenge is not confrontational, everyone must trust each other.
Facing the pursuit of ghosts, they are the only partners who can rely on each other.
Ji Fenglin nodded: "Our task is to find the ghost in the villa and survive."
He deliberately revealed more information.
Hearing "Spirit", Jiang Caiyun's expression changed.
No one wants to have a close encounter with a ghost. If she can, she would rather face a vicious monster with a body.
The invisible and intangible fear is always the most frightening.
Zeng Xu asked, "How many times have you entered White Night? All three of us have entered once."
"Three or four times."
Bai Shuangxing smiled and pointed to the sky: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, find the villa as soon as possible. If you have a fever and catch a cold in the white night, it will be bad."
Jiang Caiyun was very excited when he learned that they had passed the customs several times during the white night.
This is a bright and outgoing young girl who has just graduated and works in a public institution.
"Four white nights, that's amazing!"
As she walked, she said, "How did you guys survive? I couldn't get enough of it once. The monster last time... Hey! I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for several days."
Li Ziyan, who was wearing glasses, smiled warmly: "I'm sorry, she talks too much."
The mountain road is rugged, and there are endless green trees on both sides.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and when there was a muffled thunder, Shen Chan said at the same time: "It's a villa!"
It was an old house.
There are three floors in total, with a small courtyard, and ivy grows all over the white wall on one side, giving it a weird and barren vitality.
Thinking of the ghosts in the villa, Jiang Caiyun felt a little bit retreating.
But due to the task, she had to approach it step by step——
If Bai Ye's instructions were not followed, the challenger would be killed directly.
Facing Bai Ye, they were as insignificant as ants, unable to struggle.
Bai Shuangxing didn't relax his vigilance, tensed his attention all the time, and glanced around silently.
This is the only house in the mountain. The courtyard door is open, and the yard is empty, only a few tufts of weeds that have not been trimmed, and a muddy pond in the corner.
……pond.
Subconsciously, Bai Shuangxing thought of the sound of water after Jiang Caiyun died at the end of the phone call.
The main task kept them in the villa, and Jiang Caiyun's range of activities was limited to houses and small courtyards.
Was she here, attacked by a ghost?
The handle of the door was rusted, and Ji Fenglin walked in the front and knocked on the door lightly.
Soon, the door creaked open.
Just like what was said on the phone, Bai Shuangxing saw a thin and pale woman.
It was indeed too white, and there was no blood on the whole face.
The woman's eyes were gloomy, and she couldn't see the emotion in her eyes. She met Ji Fenglin's eyes and smiled a standard smile: "Hello, what's the matter?"
"We came here to climb the mountain, but we didn't expect to encounter rain."
Ji Fenglin's tone was as usual: "Excuse me, can I go into the house to avoid the rain?"
"of course can."
She took a step back with a smile and made way for them to enter and exit the house: "Come in! It's too cold outside, and you won't be able to catch a cold. By the way, I'm making dinner, do you want it?"
The villa is very weird, and Baishuangxing is not so big-hearted that he can eat the food here without any grievances.
"Need not."
Bai Shuangxing smiled politely: "We just ate compressed biscuits and bread, and we're not hungry now."
Jiang Caiyun glanced at her quietly and rubbed her cold hands.
As expected of a veteran who has cleared Bai Ye several times.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Caiyun didn't see any fear on her face, and seeing her response, she was even more at ease.
"That's it."
The woman nodded knowingly: "There is a hair dryer in the bathroom, if you feel cold, you can use it - here is the sofa, please sit down."
While speaking, she had already led six people into the living room.
Bai Shuang remained calm, looking at the layout of the house.
It is not gorgeous, it can even be called simple, and it is out of tune with the appearance of the villa.
There are old wooden tables and sofas in the living room, and there are signs of peeling off the walls. In the huge space, there is not even a TV set.
On the sofa on the far left, two children are sitting.
"That's my child."
The woman smiled and said, "They are twin brothers and sisters. They are very good and won't disturb you."
Normally, Bai Shuang Xing would not be nosy and ask this and that.
But in the white night, she had to get to the bottom of more questions:
"Sorry. Are you the only three living in the house?"
The hostess looked up sharply.
Her pupils were dark, and the arc of her mouth remained unchanged from the beginning to the end: "Yes. My husband and I are divorced."
Everything that followed was no different from what was said on the phone.
Several foreign guests sat on the sofa one by one, and no one dared to be alone, and went to the bathroom to dry their hair.
As we all know, the bathroom is a high incidence of death in horror movies.
The hostess prepared dinner, three dishes and one soup.
A family of three sat at the table to eat, Bai Shuangxing looked at them quietly.
They are all white.
Like lifeless paper dolls, no matter how they speak, smile or move, they are all strangely stiff.
"Excuse me," Zeng Xu said, "why do you live in the mountains with your two children?"
He took the initiative to ask questions, hoping to get more clues from the woman.
"Is it here?"
The hostess smiled: "Because, it's very cheap here."
Baishuang knew it and started.
Just like the established trajectory, Jiang Caiyun asked curiously: "Is it because it is in the mountains?"
"That's one of the reasons."
The hostess turned her eyes slowly, and the corners of her mouth deepened: "More importantly...it is a haunted house."
After the last sentence was settled, everyone stopped.
"Haunted, haunted house?"
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Li Ziyan was still a little apprehensive when he heard these two words with his own ears: "What happened here?"
"Do you want to hear it?"
The hostess spoke very softly, and touched the head of the daughter next to her: "That was a murder many years ago. There used to be a family of four living here, father, mother, son and daughter. Later, the family went bankrupt."
Bai Shuangxing glanced at the little girl who was buried in her meal.
In such a horrific murder case, the hostess did not shy away from the two children; the children listened without saying a word, with no fluctuation in expression.
She pursed her lips, feeling a little headache.
At first glance, there were nine people in the villa, and it was very lively.
In fact, except for the three of them, they are all ghosts who died prematurely.
"After the bankruptcy, my father was devastated, and my mother filed for divorce—"
The hostess said: "That night, the man took the knife in the kitchen and killed everyone in the family."
Jiang Caiyun shivered.
A family of four... Couldn't there be four ghosts hiding in this house?
The topic came to an abrupt end, and no one spoke for a while.
Jiang Caiyun and his two companions looked at each other, and suddenly, Bai Shuang spoke.
"After killing his wife and children," Bai Shuangxing said, "where did father go?"
As early as when she answered the call, she had considered it in her heart.
Before dying, Jiang Caiyun said that the death of other people was very tragic, which was related to the knife.
In the story, the way the father kills is with a knife.
The ghost with the deepest resentment and the strongest murderous intent in this white night is probably him.
"Father?"
The hostess thought for a while, then smiled.
This smile is no longer mechanically stiff, from the bottom of her eyes, Bai Shuangxing can see a bit of irony.
"After the murder, he didn't dare to commit suicide or call the police, so he hid the body and pretended that the family of four was still living together."
The hostess said: "Later, probably because of too much psychological pressure, seven days later, he called the police and cut his wrist."
seven days.
Shen Chan listened with a chill in her heart.
She remembered the horror movie she had seen, in which it was said that ghosts who died unjustly would return after seven days.
It is also commonly known as the "first seven".
The cause of death of a man may not be as simple as suicide.
"The man hid the body—"
Ji Fenglin said, "Excuse me, do you know where the corpse is placed?"
The woman glanced at him and shook her head.
"I don't know about that."
She grinned and said, "It happened so long ago, I'm not a policeman, how can I know the inside information?"
You've revealed a lot of inside information.
Shen Chan quietly slandered.
But... When asked about the whole story of the murder, most of the time the hostess knew everything, except for this clue.
Does it matter where the body is hidden?
But their task is to find Li Gui, Li Gui can kill people everywhere, what does it have to do with the place where the corpse is hidden?
Can't figure it out.
In the silence, a thunder flashed across the sky, accompanied by a muffled rumbling sound.
Bai Shuangxing looked sideways and looked towards the window.
It was almost evening when they entered this "white night".
Because of the thunderstorm, the sky became darker and gloomy, and in the evening, there was no sunlight.
The courtyard was shrouded in gray mist, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sounds of thunder, wind and rain were mixed together. It had the aura of the rising wind forebodes the coming storm, which made people feel very uneasy.
Looking at the sky again, the clouds are thick and drooping, as if they can be pressed down at any time.
At the dinner table, the boy finished his meal quickly and claimed to go to the bathroom.
His back gradually faded away, Bai Shuangxing exchanged glances with the two people around him secretly.
It was said on the phone that the boy died first.
The body was found in the hallway.
"The house is beautiful."
Bai Shuangxing didn't show any abnormality, and got up from the sofa: "Can we look around?"
The hostess readily agreed: "Of course."
"that"
Jiang Caiyun cautiously: "Is there no danger?"
She lowered her voice so low that the hostess could not hear her.
Shen Chan listened, feeling a little uncomfortable.
If she guessed correctly, the three young men in front of her would have died long ago in this white night.
When they are alive, they are the most ordinary ordinary people, they will be afraid, uneasy, and they will care about their companions in times of crisis.
"We'll be careful."
Bai Shuangxing looked down at her, and said in a gentle tone, "If I find something, I will share it with you as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head, nodded to the hostess, and left the living room.
As for the destination, of course, the corridor where the bathroom is located.
"This white night...what is going on?"
After finally having time for the three of them to spend time together, Shen Chan couldn't wait to speak: "We, have you met a caller for help?"
"Humans who die in the survival challenge will become ghosts in the white night, and like other ghosts, they will repeat the white night over and over again."
Bai Shuangxing's face darkened: "Just like Jiang Caiyun and the others."
"It's too—"
Shen Chan gritted her teeth: "They lost their lives because of Bai Ye, and they will be trapped here..."
She didn't go any further.
Shen Chan has experienced a total of three white nights, and each time she passed without any danger.
But the vast majority of people in the world do not have such good luck.
For them, White Night is synonymous with death.
With the increasing frequency of white nights, every day, even every hour, countless human beings suffer and die because of it.
...all of them are ordinary people like Jiang Caiyun.
The monitoring system No. 444 made them a new part of the White Night.
Shen Chan felt disgusted.
"Haha, I realized it so soon."
"Laughing to death, I still have the leisurely heart to sympathize with others, but it won't be long before I become one of the ghosts who died tragically."
"This challenge feels so difficult, I have no idea at all. Hee hee, die soon."
"Killed by a knife! Blood splattered everywhere! It must be super fun! I want to see blood flow in rivers!"
Real-time bullet screens floated in his mind, Bai Shuangxing glanced, expressionless, and looked away.
The three of them walked slowly, pretending to appreciate the view of the villa, but they were actually waiting for the boy to come out.
Not long after, the bathroom door creaked open.
Bai Shuangxing quickly looked away.
The boy was only five or six years old and looked like a pale bean sprout.
He looked indifferent, turned a blind eye to them, and left without squinting.
Bai Shuangxing stood in the middle of the corridor, and when he passed by, he felt a chill that penetrated into the marrow of his bones.
Not an illusion.
It's cold and cold, coming oncoming, like a pool of thick and cold black water.
In an instant, she remembered the yin energy she felt in "Evil Ghosts will be reflected".
At this moment on the boy, could it be...
This thought had just surfaced, and she was caught off guard, and in her field of vision, a bright red bloody light appeared.
Bai Shuang held his breath.
——but saw a ferocious knife edge cut open from the boy's back, almost splitting his thin body in two.
Immediately after, scarlet blood gushed out, staining most of the wall red!
Everything came without warning. From the beginning to the end, Baishuang Xing didn't even see a ghost.
It's like... a knife entered the boy's body and cut him open by itself.
Before Bai Shuangxing could react, two screams suddenly sounded in the silent corridor——
The climbing trio originally planned to search for clues together, but they never expected to witness such a bloody and terrifying scene as soon as they arrived in the corridor.
Jiang Caiyun and Li Ziyan screamed at the same time, Zeng Xu was also taken aback, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he looked at the three people on the other side of the corridor.
There was a distance between them and the boy.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone like this, he died for no apparent reason.
The screams spread throughout the house, and logically, the hostess should come to check.
However, the living room was silent, and suddenly, there was another ear-piercing cry.
Bai Shuangxing heard that it belonged to the hostess' voice.
An ominous premonition surged, and she walked quickly to the living room without hesitation.
The moment he stepped out of the corridor, Baishuangxing smelled a strong smell of blood.
The rust-like smell indicated that death was approaching, and she walked towards the source of the sound, her heart tightened.
The dining room is next to the living room, and the girl has lost her breath.
She was sitting motionless on a wooden chair, the back of her head had been slashed with a knife, her flesh was bloody, just looking at her could make one's scalp tingle.
Beside her, the hostess covered her face with her hands, obviously terrified by the scene.
"How is this going?"
Seeing this, Zeng Xu's back felt chills, he stepped forward a few steps, and approached the woman: "She..."
"I-I don't know!"
The hostess was trembling all over, and she shed tears: "I just answered the phone, and suddenly I heard her gasp, and when I turned around, I found..."
"Don't worry."
Shen Chan tried to calm her emotions: "Think about it, what did this child do before the accident? Did anything strange happen?"
"she"
The hostess wiped away the tears from her eyes in embarrassment, and said a meal.
The air seemed to freeze.
When she raised her eyes again, her dark eyes were full of resentment and malice: "It's you, right? There are only you outsiders at home... What do you want to do?!"
Shen Chan was dumbfounded.
In all fairness, the logic of the hostess is correct.
Several strangers suddenly came to take shelter from the rain, and not long after, the family's daughter died strangely.
Judging by her death, it was obvious that it was a homicide.
If she is the hostess, the first suspects are also these strange guests.
"you misunderstood."
Jiang Caiyun was anxious and frightened, and hurriedly explained: "It's definitely not us. We were all in the corridor just now, how could it be possible—"
Her words were not finished.
The smell of blood filled her nostrils, and a few drops of blood splashed out and landed on her cheeks.
——In just an instant, the hostess' heart was pierced fiercely!
The brain was buzzing, Jiang Caiyun took a step back, his lips turned white.
Another person died before her eyes, without warning and with no murderer in sight.
The invisible blade pierced through her skin, and a thunder flashed across the sky, illuminating the woman's face as pale as a paper man.
Rumble.
"Ding dong!"
"The main mission has been updated!"
At the same time, the six people present heard the joyful system sound.
"The rainstorm is coming, the mountains are dangerous, you have to stay in this villa."
"But... here, it seems that a malicious ghost is hiding. It killed your wife and children back then, and now, it will drag you all into hell."
"Before dawn, find the hiding place of the ghost and try your best to solve it!"
"Reminder: Evil spirits don't kill people for no reason, every time they do something, there is a reason."
"Exploring the laws in it can help you find it!"
"But we can't see it at all!"
Li Ziyan was trembling all over, his eyes were red: "How do I find this?!"
Of the three victims, two died in front of them.
They even witnessed the whole process of the ghost's murder, but even so, they still didn't find the slightest clue.
Now that the clues are broken, how can they find a way out?
Just as he finished speaking, a child's foolish smile came from nowhere.
Crisp and long, it made his hair stand on end in the tense and depressing environment.
"By the way! Please don't forget that there were four dead people in the villa back then."
In the system's tone, there was a icy smile that was watching the show.
"The murderer's soul lingers in the world. Of course, the other three deceased are unwilling to leave here."
"While looking for ghosts, be careful to avoid them."
Thunder roared, and another flash of lightning pierced the sky.
The white light was dazzling, illuminating the dark red blood all over the ground, as well as the woman's horrified eyes, which were filled with death.
The child's laughter gradually faded away, and it seemed to linger in my ears non-stop.
Shadows floated in the villa, and the wind blew through the branches by the window, bringing the system's increasingly excited and high-pitched sounds.
"Try to live—"
"Now, the survival challenge officially begins!"
