    There was a thunderstorm outside the house, and the villa fell into a brief dead silence.

    Bai Shuangxing stood by the dining table, glanced at the two corpses not far away, trying to sort out his thoughts.

    The system has clearly indicated that the father in the story who went mad and killed the whole family is the ghost they need to find this time.

    Besides him, the souls of the mother and the two children will also wander in this villa.

    They not only want to find out the hiding place of the ghost, but also avoid the pursuit of the other three wandering souls——

    This is a hide and seek game.

    "We want...to get rid of the ghost?"

    Jiang Caiyun said: "How, how can we get rid of it?"

    Just avoiding the killing of the ghost, for her, has reached the difficulty of nightmare level.

    They are a group of ordinary human beings who neither know how to exorcise ghosts nor evil spirits, nor do they have magical tools for self-defense. At most, they can exchange a few exorcism talismans from Baiye Mall.

    Exorcism... Can it deal with ghosts of this level?

    Zeng Xu also turned pale, and randomly scratched his hair.

    At first, their task was just to survive a day in the villa.

    He had already made a plan, and planned to let everyone stay in the living room honestly——

    As long as you don't leave alone, don't wander around, and get together, you have a great chance of surviving.

    Unexpectedly, the difficulty of the main task suddenly increased.

    If they were to stay in the living room all night, it would be absolutely impossible for them to complete the task if they wanted to find the ghosts.

    That is to say... even though they knew that the villa was full of dangers, the group still had to explore around.

    Isn't this killing them?

    "That man is the boss of this white night, and he shouldn't be able to deal with him with just a few exorcism talismans."

    Ji Fenglin thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "We can only try, search for more clues in the villa, maybe we can find useful props."

    Hearing this sentence, most people's faces were not very good.

    They haven't figured out the reason why the ghost killed them, and they might be stabbed in the neck at some point.

    "The task is limited to tonight, we still have time."

    Bai Shuangxing said: "Don't worry, let's take a look at the scene of the murder together."

    Shen Chan nodded: "It is said in the mission that ghosts kill people according to their rules...Since all three members of this family have died, they must have triggered the corresponding mechanism."

    Jiang Caiyun took a deep breath and replied "Yes".

    Although she is not courageous, she is sensible enough.

    In this environment, crying and cowardice will only lead to death. In order to survive, one must summon up courage and do everything possible to find clues.

    "The order of death is son, daughter and mother."

    Bai Shuangxing said: "Before the son died, he went to the bathroom once; while the daughter was sitting at the dining table, the mother made a phone call."

    She glanced at the table.

    Dinner has been finished, and the table has not had time to clean up.

    The family of three didn't eat much, and there were a lot of vegetables left on the plate. The girl was lying crookedly on the chair, her eyes wide open, her expression distorted by pain.

    As for the side of the table—

    There is almost no furniture in this villa, only a few necessary tables and chairs are scattered here and there.

    The wall is empty, and there is a glass window near the kitchen.

    The window was ajar, and raindrops fell from the window, leaving a pool of water stains on the ground.

    The curtains were blown loudly, and they were raised into the air from time to time, casting an erratic shadow.

    "Could it be... water?"

    Li Ziyan was cautious: "There is water in the bathroom, and now the windows are open, and the rainwater falls in, so the conditions are also valid."

    As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked away, not looking at the bloody corpse beside the table.

    "There is such a possibility."

    Ji Fenglin nodded: "In horror movies, 'water' is an image that often appears, and it often symbolizes the coming of ghosts—besides that, there are also mirrors."

    "I think about mirrors."

    Shen Chan answered, "There must be a mirror in the bathroom. As for the kitchen, the window in the kitchen can also reflect everyone's images."

    In a sense, glass windows and mirrors have certain similarities.

    Moreover, in the horror movies she has seen, 80% of the ghosts will come out of the mirror.

    After hearing her words, Jiang Caiyun suddenly stopped.

    At this moment, they were standing together in the kitchen, and the shadows of her, Li Ziyan, Bai Shuangxing and Ji Fenglin were all completely reflected on the window.

    As for Shen Chan and Zeng Xu, although they were only half captured, they could still be seen through the glass window.

    In this way... Could it be that all of them have been locked by Li Gui?

    "Mirror and water is a puzzle-solving direction."

    Suddenly, Bai Shuangxing said: "But now it seems that there is a deeper reason for the mechanism of the ghost's death."

    She turned her head and looked at the glass window: "If you just get close to the mirror and the water, you will be killed... We were almost dead just now."

    Zeng Xu pondered for a moment: "Is it possible that it will touch the water?"

    You must wash your hands in the bathroom. As for the dining table, there is a bowl of hot soup.

    This conjecture is possible.

    Bai Shuangxing remembered that phone call.

    On the phone, Jiang Caiyun fled to the small pond in the yard. It was thundering and raining.

    After leaving the house, she is sure to get wet from the rain.

    "possible."

    Ji Fenglin had the same thinking as her: "Whether this guess is correct or not, let's try not to touch the water."

    Jiang Caiyun nodded, still a little worried, and glanced at the window not far away.

    On the glass window, there were faint shadows of all of them floating.

    "Mirrors are also a possibility."

    Bai Shuang took a step forward: "If possible, try to cover all the windows in the villa."

    As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand, trying to close the curtains.

    Before he got close to the window, he saw Ji Fenglin stepping forward and pulling the long dark yellow curtain.

    He carefully avoided the sudden heavy rain, when the curtain was pulled, there was a rattling sound.

    The glass windows were blocked.

    Ji Fenglin didn't speak, and when he raised his eyelids, he looked at Bai Shuangxing for a moment, and motioned silently to her.

    ——There is water by the window. Since the water is included in the danger category, if you can’t get close to it, try to stay as far away as possible.

    "Your boyfriend," Jiang Caiyun raised the corners of her mouth, trying to relieve the tense atmosphere, "It's so kind to you."

    Unexpectedly, two of the three people on the opposite side froze at the same time.

    The remaining one, Shen Chan, squinted her eyes and coughed lightly.

    "no."

    Bai Shuangxing smiled: "We are friends."

    Ji Fenglin glanced at her: "Yes."

    "……what?"

    Jiang Caiyun's face was hot, and her ears were red: "Yes, I'm sorry! I see that you have been getting very close, and..."

    wrong.

    It gets darker and darker.

    From the first moment she saw the three new teammates, she subconsciously felt that they were a couple plus their friends.

    After all, they were walking in the rainy forest at that time, and Baishuangxing was wearing a jacket that was obviously Ji Fenglin's.

    After entering the villa, watching their various reactions, there is also a tacit understanding——

    When sitting on the sofa, whenever Jiang Caiyun raised his head, he would often catch a glimpse of the two of them staring at each other in a hurry, and then quietly looked away, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.

    Not knowing what to say, Jiang Caiyun scratched his head.

    "Staying here is not an option."

    Seeing her embarrassment, Zeng Xu changed the subject quietly: "Next, let's go to the villa to find clues."

    "Ok."

    Ji Fenglin asked, "Shall we go together, or divide into teams?"

    "Absolutely don't place an order!"

    Shen Chan raised her right hand as if rushing to answer: "In horror movies, if you order, you will definitely die."

    "Everyone should not act alone."

    Zeng Xu nodded: "The villa is so big, it's inconvenient for six people to move together, and it's not easy to escape when encountering wandering ghosts—how about grouping into groups of three or three, what do you think?"

    This is the safest way.

    Bai Shuangxing replied without hesitation: "No problem."

    "As agreed, avoid all forms of water, and if you see windows or mirrors, try to cover them."

    Shen Chan said: "The villa has three floors, let's search the upper and lower floors first."

    Jiang Caiyun patted her heart and got ready: "Yes."

    So the plan was initially drawn up.

    They are familiar with the first floor, and the whole space is very empty, so the investigation is not difficult.

    The three of Jiang Caiyun are not more experienced than them, so it is logical to stay on the first floor.

    The second floor is an unknown area that has never been explored——

    The children's laughter that heard not long ago seemed to be coming from there.

    This task fell on Bai Shuangxing and the others.

    "be safe."

    Before leaving, Bai Shuangxing did not forget to tell: "If you encounter an unsolvable danger, you call for help, and we will come."

    Jiang Caiyun grinned: "Well, we will be careful! The exorcism talisman has been exchanged, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

    "You also need to be careful."

    Li Ziyan adjusted his glasses with a timid expression: "The story says that my father took advantage of his family's deep sleep and killed them all with a knife... The bedroom where the crime happened was on the second or third floor."

    After saying goodbye to the three of them temporarily, Bai Shuangxing boarded the stairs to the second floor.

    Fortunately, the lights can still be turned on in the villa.

    The staircase is a classical twist, with mottled handrails and dust.

    Looking at the feet, there is also dust piled up everywhere, and it doesn't look like there are people living there.

    She probably had a guess in her heart that the "family of three" seen on the first floor was probably transformed by the ghosts of the victims back then.

    The reason why they appeared in front of them disguised as humans was probably for the purpose of intimidation, or maybe it was a reminder specially arranged by the system.

    ——They had to deduce the law of killing ghosts from the deaths of the three people.

    The stairs are not long. When you go up to the second floor, Bai Shuang will see a corridor.

    There are rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the doors are ajar, and everyone can enter.

    She looked around, and found differences on three of the doors.

    There is a piece of drawing paper pasted on the door at the end of the left side, on which it is written with immature strokes:

    [Mom and Dad's room].

    Then there are two doors next to each other on the right, which are written [Xiaobao's room] and [Xiaoxian's room] respectively.

    "Xiaobao and Xiaoxian, they are the two children of the family."

    The air was so cold, Shen Chan shuddered: "Where shall we go first?"

    As Li Ziyan said, the bedroom was the first scene of the crime.

    Even if you have experienced white nights again and again, as long as you are a normal person, anyone will feel nervous when you are in a haunted house where tragedies have occurred and you have close contact with ghosts.

    Ji Fenglin: "Go to your parents' bedroom first."

    Bai Shuangxing agreed: "The ghost we are looking for is the father, and there may be more clues in his room."

    There are unjustly dead ghosts wandering around in the house. They didn't stay in the corridor, but went into the parents' bedroom together.

    As soon as the door was opened, Baishuangxing smelled a disgusting rancid stench, and covered his mouth and nose with a frown.

    Before Ji Feng left, he looked down at her silently.

    Sensing his gaze, Bai Shuangxing raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that he was fine.

    So he turned on the light and walked into the room.

    It is not much different from the first floor, and the bedroom is also simple.

    A double bed was placed in the center, and the sheets were soaked in blood, with large swaths of red.

    There was a desk in the corner, the windows were tightly closed, the curtains were wide open, and one could see the dark and gloomy sky and the heavy rain in the yard.

    Ji Fenglin didn't forget the previous discussion, he moved neatly and closed the curtains tightly.

    "Mirrors and water... both are possible, but neither is likely."

    Shen Chan lightly rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "In the villa, these two things are almost everywhere. If the ghosts can kill people directly through them, we are doomed to be wiped out."

    Although the White Night of Surveillance System No. 444 is brutal, it will not violate the most basic rules and create a massacre with no way out.

    Besides, they were facing the glass when they entered the room just now, and nothing strange happened.

    "But if you think about it carefully, the environment of the three deceased is only similar in these two points."

    Bai Shuangxing was thoughtful: "Could it be that... besides the mirror or water, there is another additional condition?"

    Between exchanges, she approached the desk by the window.

    The table was dusty and hadn't been used for some time.

    Ji Fenglin opened the left and right drawers, and found a painting in the left corner.

    He moved lightly and took the drawing paper out of the drawer.

    This work is obviously made by a child, with an immature style and no skills at all. It uses colorful oil pastels to draw four stick figures holding hands.

    Bai Shuangxing stood beside him, looked from left to right, and saw a man in a suit and tie, a woman in a white skirt, a boy and a girl, and two children who looked like peas.

    It is a family of four living in a villa.

    On the top of the drawing paper, there are several large characters written [Happy family, together forever].

    Looking at the handwriting, it is stern, round and naive, and it was also written by a child.

    "Look here."

    Shen Chan pointed to the lower right corner: "This water stain, can't it be tears?"

    Bai Shuangxing nodded.

    The pool of water stains was blurred into a large area, showing an irregular circle.

    Near it, there are several similar water masses.

    "The painting that belonged to the child turned up in the parents' bedroom with tears on it."

    Bai Shuangxing's analysis: "After the man killed his family, he didn't call the police immediately, but continued to live with them in the house... The murder was just a whim, and when the dust settled, he probably regretted it."

    Shen Chan clicked her tongue, with disgust in her eyes:

    "And then you cry at this painting? What did you do, scum."

    It's really scumbag.

    "Having said that, do you still remember the conversation with the hostess?"

    Bai Shuangxing lowered her voice: "After the murder, what else did the man do, she didn't reveal a word."

    "right!"

    Shen Chan: "Especially about where the corpse is hidden, she is unwilling to disclose a word... Will this clue be very important?"

    "If you want to connect with mirrors and water—"

    Ji Fenglin said, "The pond in the yard?"

    Bai Shuang let out a "huh".

    This conjecture is possible, but unfortunately, it was raining heavily in the yard, so they couldn't go out to verify it.

    She stood by the table thinking quietly, raised her eyes inadvertently, and looked at the real-time barrage.

    "Boring, where is the ghost? When will the ghost come out? I don't want to see them pushing around. Reasoning for a long time can't come to a result, it's better to die directly."

    "It's been so long, it's time for the first dead person to appear?"

    "I want to see blood flow into rivers! Blood flow into rivers!"

    It's all inhuman, violent and crazy words, can't wait to see them die.

    Bai Shuangxing couldn't help frowning.

    Since Jiang Caiyun and others are challengers imprisoned in the white night, human beings who have turned into ghosts like them...

    In the white night of surveillance system No. 444, how many are there?

    444, dead dead.

    A system that uses human souls as toys to create more deaths is truly worthy of its name.

    Thinking of this, she silently looked at the clown in her mind.

    Since no victim has yet appeared, 444 yawned, looking uninterested, and sleepy.

    "I think the people downstairs will die first. A few novices are startled. I'm afraid they will be so frightened that they can't move as soon as they meet the ghost."

    "It's almost the same for anyone who dies. By the way, didn't the rules say that there are still wandering ghosts in this place? Why haven't they come out yet?"

    "Wait, did you hear anything?"

    A few bullet screens flew by quickly, and Bai Shuangxing's eyelashes trembled.

    She heard it too.

    From the end of the corridor, there was a ringing laughter like a bell.

    - It's a ghost!

    When entering the bedroom, Bai Shuangxing closed the door on purpose, keeping the door ajar like other rooms.

    At this moment, laughter sounded, Ji Fenglin looked at her, walked quickly to the door, and pressed the light switch.

    The lights went out instantly.

    It was late at night, it was raining in the sky, and the curtains were drawn again. In the empty and quiet bedroom, almost all light sources were cut off.

    The light was dim, and the field of vision was pitch black. Suddenly, someone gently grabbed Bai Shuangxing's sleeve.

    She was pulled to the wall behind the door.

    Shen Chan had good eyesight, caught a glimpse of Ji Fenglin's movements, and moved closer silently.

    There is no wardrobe in the bedroom, hiding behind the door is the safest choice.

    His eyes gradually got used to the darkness around him, and Baishuang slowed down his breathing.

    A strong rancid smell lingers at the tip of the nose, which lingers for a long time, adding to the depression.

    In the corridor outside the door, laughter came closer.

    It was the voice of a child, sometimes male and sometimes female, occasionally the two voices were mixed together, there was an indescribable strangeness.

    Accompanied by the laughter, there are faint footsteps, and the woman's low-pitched weeping.

    Tread, Tread.

    Bai Shuangxing could clearly notice that Shen Chan beside her was motionless, and her whole body was terribly stiff.

    It was an unspeakable fear.

    They couldn't see the appearance of the ghosts, they could only feel their approaching footsteps through a door.

    Perhaps in the next second, they will break into the door; or, they will leave the corridor without turning their eyes, and have no intersection with the humans in the room.

    The unknown always makes people fearful.

    The laughter and cries came closer and closer to the door of the bedroom where they were.

    Bai Frost held his breath——

    The next moment, she heard a woman laughing in a low voice that suddenly increased in size and was extremely clear: "...hehe."

    This voice changed from crying to laughing, from sadness to joy, like a long series of opera singing, oozing with coldness.

    There was silence all around, and the chuckle of the resentful spirit was infinitely magnified, as if it was tightly attached to the eardrum.

    The blood all over his body congealed in an instant, Bai Shuangxing clicked on the skill panel, ready to fight back.

    Unexpectedly, the other party did not open the door.

    A few seconds later, she heard footsteps again.

    The ringing in the ear gradually faded away, and the crying and laughter all disappeared in the other side of the corridor.

    Gone...?

    Ji Fenglin didn't relax his vigilance, looking at the corridor through the gap in the door.

    The hallway was dimly lit, dimly lit, and completely silent.

    There is no shadow of ghosts.

    He said nothing, and nodded towards the other two.

    "……walked away."

    Shen Chan's hands were covered with cold sweat, and she felt terrified: "This is too scary..."

    There was only one door separated from the ghost, and her heart was about to burst out.

    President Bai Shuang breathed out: "In the bedroom, do you want to look again?"

    "I want a place."

    Shen Chan wiped off the cold sweat on her palms, walked briskly, and went straight forward.

    She went to the bed.

    The source of the rancid smell might be the pool of blood on the bed, and the stench was particularly strong when it was approached.

    Shen Chan held her breath, and quickly lifted the quilt and pillow.

    Soon, her eyes flickered slightly.

    ——Under the pillow, there was a heavy book.

    The book was pressed under the quilt, and it was not stained with dirty dust.

    Shen Chan quickly picked it up, stepped back a few steps, and returned to the door.

    She couldn't bear the smell at the head of the bed for even a second.

    "The bed is the privacy of human beings."

    Shen Chan waved her hand to disperse the stench on the tip of her nose: "Psychologically, it symbolizes a part of privacy and security - some people will put important things under the pillow."

    As she spoke, she opened the book.

    Bai Shuangxing looked down, his eyes gradually darkened.

    It's more like a notebook than a "book".

    On the page Shen Chan turned to, there was a strangely shaped knife between them.

    "This knife..."

    Shen Chan picked it up carefully.

    The blade was as red as blood, and the hilt was engraved with complex patterns that they had never seen before.

    As for the notebook, it was filled with scribbled handwriting.

    [Had a dream, dreamed of them again...]

    [I don't want to die!Xiaobao, Xiaoxian, Ashu, if you can read these words, please, please let me go!]

    [Didn't I already promise to live with you forever?]

    [Stay there well.Staying there, although yin and yang are separated, we are not really separated.]

    [Father actually loves you!Believe me!]

    "It's the diary of the master."

    Ji Fenglin said, "'Stay there well'...does it mean the place where the corpse is hidden?"

    Where did he hide the body?

    Bai Shuang said "um", and continued to look down.

    [Ask the master for this evil sword, which can make the poisoned ghosts fly away... If they come again, I will... yes!Pierce their hearts!]

    [I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die]

    [Let me go, let me go, let me go, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...]

    "This person," Shen Chan frowned, "at the end of the day, isn't his spirit already abnormal?"

    Bai Shuangxing's attention was on another sentence.

    "A knife to ward off evil."

    She pointed to one of the sentences: "Haven't we been unable to figure out how to get rid of the ghosts in the villa?"

    In this diary, it even clarified how to use the knife——

    As long as they find the ghost and stab the evil spirit knife into its heart, they can pass the level smoothly.

    Shen Chan was stunned for a moment, her expression complicated.

    This man killed his wife and children, and when they died, he would not spare their souls.

    Judging from the follow-up of the story, he failed.

    The vengeful ghost was not killed by the knife, but the man himself lost his life and became the fourth ghost.

    In the end, the knife he used to drive away ghosts became a sharp blade that drove his soul away.

    There is an unspeakable irony.

    "The props are found, and the next step is to find out the location of the ghost."

    Bai Shuang rubbed his temples, a little curious: "The notebook is so thick, what's on the front?"

    Shen Chan lowered her head and turned the page forward.

    The content that appeared made all three of them stunned.

    [Believe in my God...]

    [God, I would like to offer fresh life to you, please lower your gift and bring me supreme wealth.]

    Further on, there are even more pious and crazy ravings.

    [My God is merciful, praise God!]

    [God bless...]

    [When will God's gift be ushered in?That yellow-faced woman at home is actually planning to throw away the idol... Stinky woman, go to hell!It must be all because of her that I have such a bad life!]

    "This man," Ji Fenglin lowered his voice, "is a believer of an evil god."

    Polluted by evil gods, that's why he became more and more abnormal.

    Because of this, in the middle of the night, all the sleeping family members were killed.

    He used the three victims as chips, offered their flesh and blood, and tried to summon the evil god in exchange for a chance to make a comeback.

    In the end, before the fortune fell from the sky, he was killed by the revenge of the ghosts.

    It's disgusting.

    Amidst the stench in the bedroom, Shen Chan felt a little nauseous.

    "In the diary, 'stay there' is emphasized."

    Bai Shuangxing thought: "Next, we may try to think about where he might hide the body—"

    Before she could finish her sentence, suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

    Shen Chan was taken aback, but after thinking about it, ghosts would not be so polite, they had to knock on the door before entering the house.

    Ji Fenglin also understood this, gently opened the door, and in the corridor stood Jiang Caiyun with red eyes.

    "Something...something happened."

    Jiang Caiyun took a deep breath, trying to suppress the choking, trembling all over: "Li Ziyan is dead."

    When Baishuangxing rushed to the first floor, there was a bloody smell in the air.

    Passing the corridor, she was a little surprised to find that the boy's body had disappeared.

    The promenade was faint, filled with dim yellow lights, and where the boy was lying, there was only a puddle of blood left.

    "The mother and daughter in the kitchen are gone too."

    Jiang Caiyun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes vigorously, but the tears still couldn't stop falling: "When we came out, we only saw bloodstains."

    Bai Shuangxing replied "Yes".

    She had speculated before that the "family of three" they saw was just an illusion of ghosts.

    Now it seems that it is so.

    The real ghosts have already started hunting them down.

    Li Ziyan died in the utility room at the end of the corridor.

    Walking into the door of the utility room, the first thing that catches the eye is a frightening red.

    The young man was leaning against the window and was pierced by a knife through his chest. Blood spattered and stained most of the wall.

    This scene was so miserable that Jiang Caiyun just took one look, and then wept aloud.

    When a friend dies, it is natural to cry.

    Bai Shuangxing patted her on the back, and looked at Zeng Xu beside the corpse.

    This strong and tall man had long lost his original courage, and his whole body was slumped, like a bent weed, without any vitality.

    But he still braced himself up and spoke with a crying voice.

    "Walking into the utility room, the curtains were open."

    He said: "Li Ziyan and I walked to the window, intending to close the curtains. As soon as I closed them, he, he—"

    Zeng couldn't go on and wiped away his tears.

    Ji Fenglin said softly, "The shadows of both of you are reflected in the window at the same time?"

    "Ok."

    Zeng Xu nodded: "At that time, I also told him that the mechanism of ghosts killing people is definitely not looking in the mirror. In the restaurant before, all of us looked in the mirror, and we all lived well."

    His tone was even more dejected: "So I looked at the window on purpose, and our two shadows are completely reflected on it."

    But Li Ziyan died, but he didn't.

    Bai Shuangxing: "Li Ziyan never touched water before he died, right?"

    Seeing Zeng Xu nodding firmly, she touched her chin: "In this way, the water can be drained... When you close the curtains, are you and Li Ziyan basically in sync?"

    Zeng Xu thought about it and shook his head.

    "No."

    He said: "At that time Caiyun was standing behind us, Li Ziyan turned his head to comfort her, saying that it was impossible for Li Gui to come out of the mirror."

    It really doesn't come out of the mirror.

    The boy died in the corridor, and in the corridor, there is no mirror-like thing that can be used to reflect.

    "Turn back..."

    Shen Chan's heart moved: "Since the water is excluded, the reason why the ghost appears is probably related to the mirror—combined with Li Ziyan's movements, could it be that he turned his head when looking in the mirror?"

    Both Jiang Caiyun and Zeng Xu were stunned.

    ...turn back?

    Why can't we go back?

    Or, why can't look back in front of the mirror?Does this have anything to do with Li Gui's hiding place?

    The two of them thought about it and said nothing, Shen Chan just said it casually, and she couldn't explain the reason.

    On the other side, Bai Shuangxing's face gradually darkened.

    Shen Chan saw the change in her expression, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did you think of anything?"

    A certain thought came to his mind, and Bai Shuang's back felt faintly cold.

    "I have a guess."

    "We've been wondering where the man hid the victim's body ... right?" she said.

    Jiang Caiyun raised her head in a daze, and shivered for some reason.

    "He said in his diary that he will always be with his family."

    Bai Shuangxing clasped his hands in front of his chest, and narrowed his eyebrows slightly: "Since the 'water' has been ruled out, then hiding the corpse in the pond can be ignored—not to mention, the distance between the pond and him is too far."

    "Too, too far?"

    A chill came from behind her, and Shen Chan followed her train of thought: "So...he hid the corpse very close?"

    "Remember what you said in the bedroom?"

    Bai Shuangxing glanced at her, his eyes were dim and unclear: "The bed symbolizes privacy and security, and at the same time, it is also the most intimate place."

    When they walked into the bedroom and approached the bed, they smelled an indescribably strong stench.

    Just a pool of blood, can it really smell like that?

    Shen Chan: ...

    Shen Chan: "...grass."

    Live together forever.

    Stay there.

    Although yin and yang are separated, we are not really separated.

    There was a buzzing explosion in his head, and a biting chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his spinal cord.

    Jiang Caiyun also reacted, and took a step back slightly trembling: "The corpse... is under his bed?"

    "The male owner put the victim's body under the bed."

    Zeng Xu felt a chill: "But the ghost we are looking for is him, not the three victims. What does this have to do with the ghost's hiding place?"

    Was he hiding under the bed too?

    In that case, how could the hero be everywhere and kill them easily?

    Bai Shuangxing took a deep look at him.

    "Have you ever heard such a story?"

    She herself felt a little creepy, and took a step closer to Shen Chan and Ji Fenglin: "Someone always dreams late at night, and in the dream there is always a voice saying to him, good friends, back to back."

    She paused: "It was only later that I found out that there was a dead body hidden under the bed board. The face of the dead body was facing down, and the back was facing up. Every night, it was like being back to back with him."

    Shen Chan's complexion was even worse.

    She already vaguely understood where Li Gui was hiding.

    "If we go upstairs to the bedroom and lift the bed, we should be able to find three bodies."

    Bai Shuangxing said in a deep voice: "And they... are facing downward."

    This is the tip Bai Ye gave them.

    Tips for "White Hideout".

    "Back to back..."

    Unconsciously looking behind her, Jiang Caiyun's scalp became numb, and her crying became heavier.

    Why, can't you look back in the mirror?

    ——Because the ghosts are back to back, attached to each of them.

    Once they stand in front of the mirror and turn away...

    The ghost will see its reflection and be awakened.

    The girl eating with her back to the window, the hostess who picked up her daughter's dead body in front of the window, the boy who may have turned his head in front of the bathroom mirror, and Li Ziyan.

    They all died because of it.

    This also explains why other people have clearly appeared in the reflection of the window, but they have lived well until now.

    When you reach out to close the curtains, you are always facing the mirror image.

    Thinking of this, goosebumps suddenly appeared on Jiang Caiyun's back.

    Not only was she too surprised to speak, but in the real-time comments, the barrage also exploded.

    "I'm going! It's like this!"

    "Exciting! Why don't the ghosts start killing? They have found the law of killing. This mission will not end here, will it?"

    "Keke, subconsciously looked behind me."

    "Rivers of blood! I want to see rivers of blood!"

    "That's just my speculation."

    Bai Shuangxing closed his eyes: "Just in case... let's go upstairs and have a look."

    As long as there is no corpse under the bed, her guess can be proven true or false.

    This idea is really appalling, Shen Chan always felt chills on her back, and nodded vigorously when she heard this:

    "Yes, yes, yes! If we can confirm it, we will deal with Li Gui as soon as possible and escape from the villa!"

    There was a sudden pause after speaking.

    Jiang Caiyun and Zeng Xu in front of them died a long time ago in this white night.

    As long as White Night exists, their souls cannot escape, and they will be trapped in it for eternity.

    "Ok."

    Jiang Caiyun didn't know about this, she glanced at her companion's cold body, and gritted her teeth: "Let's go."

    Passing through the circular staircase, Baishuangxing came to the second floor again.

    Compared with the first floor, the temperature here is much colder. Without hesitation, they walked directly into the bedroom of the master and hostess.

    As in the plan, Zeng Xu and Ji Fenglin used force together to overturn the double bed.

    Looking at the scene under the bed, Bai Shuangxing clenched his right fist.

    The palms of the hands are full of cold sweat.

    ——Under the bed board, there were indeed three skeletons with their bodies facing down.

    "So," Jiang Caiyun trembled at the end, "Bai Shuang is right, you are right."

    Li Gui is waiting for the opportunity to move and attaches behind them.

    Panicked in her heart, she took a few steps closer to Zeng Xu: "We, how can we get rid of it?"

    Bai Shuangxing opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but unfortunately, he couldn't make a sound.

    Before she could answer, another voice in the corridor responded to Jiang Caiyun.

    ——It was a crisp, childish chuckle.

    "Damn it."

    Realizing the imminent danger, Zeng Xu frowned: "Are we going to hide?"

    But looking around, there is nowhere to hide in this place.

    With quick eyes and quick hands, Bai Shuang turned off the lights in the room and made a silent gesture.

    No one spoke anymore.

    A needle can be heard in the ear, and outside the door, there is the same stamping footsteps as before.

    I don't know if it's an illusion, but this time... the sound seems to be more chaotic and mixed.

    The curtains were drawn tightly, and outside the villa, the rain became heavier.

    The silent thunder sounded again, rumbling and making noise.

    Amidst the endless lightning and thunder, the sounds in the corridor gradually became inaudible.

    Bai Shuangxing stared at the door with a calm gaze, never letting go of his guard.

    It was not easy for them to realize the pattern of the appearance of the ghosts, and they only hoped that nothing went wrong.

    Another flash of thunder.

    Jiang Caiyun stood motionless in the corner, and in an instant, her eyes widened in astonishment——

    Door……

    opened.

    A squeak sounded very close to her ears, and suddenly lifted her whole heart.

    As the coldness passed by, Jiang Caiyun couldn't breathe, and it was difficult to breathe.

    The light in the corridor penetrated into the bedroom, and in just a split second, everyone in the bedroom heard a shrill laugh.

    Ji Fenglin frowned: "Be careful!"

    He reacted very quickly, pulling Bai Shuangxing and Shen Chan back quickly, at the same time, a sharp ghost claw pierced through the door!

    The heart was beating so fast that Shen Chan almost forgot to breathe.

    If they were still standing behind the door... that hand had penetrated the heart of one of them.

    There were clusters of thunder, the door was creaked and pushed open, and the sound of ghosts crying along with it.

    Seeing the picture in the corridor clearly, Bai Shuang tightened his heart.

    Outside the door... there are four ghosts in total.

    The hostess, the boy, the girl, and Li Ziyan who just died.

    Like the first three ghosts, the young man's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were cloudy, leaving only a murderous intent filled with resentment.

    "Li Ziyan?!"

    Jiang Caiyun was astonished: "Why..."

    "Ding dong!"

    "Reminder: In a place where there is too much resentment, the dead people will be assimilated into ghosts!"

    "Should I protect myself, or kill my former companion..."

    "Oh, what a weird philosophical question."

    asshole.

    Bai Shuangxing cursed secretly in his heart, his eyes moved slightly, and looked at Ji Fenglin beside him.

    Among the group, he was the most skilled. He went downstairs to the first floor, and he took down the notebook and the exorcism knife.

    But...whether that knife can get rid of these four ghosts is a very serious question.

    She remembered writing in her diary that knives could "scatter the spirits of tainted ghosts," but they were clearly not tainted by evil gods.

    Otherwise, if the male owner held it for self-defense, it would be impossible for him to die at the hands of his wife and children.

    His wife and children were normal people before, but the reason why they turned into ghosts was because of deep resentment and had nothing to do with "pollution".

    The one who was really polluted by the evil god was the male master who wrote the diary.

    In other words... this exorcism knife can only get rid of a man's soul with a high probability.

    If instead of a knife, she uses her skills—

    The fierce ghosts by the door were so aggressive that they rushed towards them with a howl without giving them any more chances.

    Zeng Xu gritted his teeth and showed the exorcism talisman in his hand.

    In just a few seconds, Bai Shuangxing thought quickly.

    Ye Huo and Shura Knife could indeed kill ghosts, but in that case, Li Ziyan would also be scattered.

    These four ghosts did not do any evil during their lifetime, and one of them was a poor man killed by Bai Ye.

    Under the fire of karma, he could not survive.

    Heart pounding, she moved her fingertips.

    There is another way.

    A surefire solution that doesn't involve extra sacrifice.

    The reason why the ghosts at the gate stay in the villa is because the soul of the male master is still hiding here.

    They died because of the murderer, and they were only willing to leave when the person's soul was gone.

    There was silence for a second.

    Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening thunder in the sky.

    The sky was filled with white light, and when Bai Shuangxing raised his head, his eyes met Ji Fenglin's.

    His eyes were dark and congealed, like thick, dizzy ink amidst the dazzling flashes of lightning.

    Eyes briefly met in the air, Bai Shuangxing understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and made a clear mouth shape to him.

    Blink again—

    The young man started suddenly and headed straight for the window!

    "What is this doing? Do you want to escape through the window? This is the second floor, it seems to work."

    "Hahahahaha they are finished!"

    "Surrounded by ghosts, it's so cool! Exorcism charms can't stop them at all!"

    "The window is a dangerous area! Maybe...he doesn't want to summon a ghost!"

    Ji Fenglin didn't pay attention to the barrage that flew by, and quickly opened the curtains.

    At the same time, Shen Chan exchanged an exorcism talisman from the mall and pressed it on Li Ziyan's forehead.

    The talisman was not very useful, at most it would make the ghost pause for a few seconds, she was anxious, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw the movement by the window.

    Ji Fenglin... turned around without hesitation.

    The dark twilight enveloped the surrounding fields, and the lights in the corridor were like a dark tide, quietly pouring into the room.

    The window reflected the young man's tall and thin back, and at this moment, a bone-piercing chill burst out from his back——

    And he lowered his eyelashes, clenched the handle of the knife, and stabbed straight behind him!

    The human heart is on the left.

    Li Gui and his back are facing each other, that is on the right.

    In my mind, monitoring system No. 444 happily watched the show, and raised the corners of her mouth.

    Do they think they can survive by doing this?

    Unfortunately, there is still a dead end.

    The ghost appeared and would not give him time to react.

    As long as he faces the mirror, the ghost will be awakened...

    The knife condensed by resentment will pierce him.

    This is a doomsday game.

    In order to pass the level, there must be a personal sacrifice.

    Everyone loves a tragic heroic plot, and it's perfect for a variety show, isn't it?

    As expected, lightning flashed outside the window, and Li Gui showed a ferocious face.

    Resentment turned into a long knife, when Ji Fenglin raised his hand and stabbed him in the heart——

    "Come here! Blood is flowing like a river!"

    "Finally! Kill them all!!!"

    "How can a human being be faster than a ghost? Does he really think he can pass the challenge unscathed? I'm dying of laughter."

    The bullet screens followed one after another, like a dirty wave of excitement, rushing endlessly.

    However, without warning, the smile on the clown's face stopped.

    wait.

    why……

    At the same time as the ghost appeared, an extremely sudden white light appeared in an unknown corner...?

    In the real-time comments, the grand carnival came to an abrupt end, and the barrage stopped.

    With a feeling in his heart, 444 turned his gaze sideways and looked at Bai Shuangxing.

    As early as the second they looked at each other, she and Ji Fenglin had the same plan.

    She guessed Ji Fenglin's thoughts in an instant, and the latter gave her all the trust.

    Even in the face of death, there is still no hesitation for a moment, wholehearted trust.

    The white light is soft, like a huge cocoon, completely enveloping the young man.

    The long knife transformed from resentment was extremely sharp, and when it touched the white light, it dissipated like flying dust and disappeared without a trace.

    And behind Ji Fenglin, the exorcism knife revealed its cold light, piercing through Li Gui's heart like a bamboo.

    A close call, just right.

    This is a skill belonging to the Frost Walk——

    "Guardian Spirit".
