There was a moment of silence all around.

Ji Fenglin's voice melted into the sound of the pattering rain, as if it was also tainted with a little damp breath.

A certain emotion that can't be understood or explained quietly spread in the air, before Bai Shuang could speak, he smiled softly.

"I always wanted to thank you in person, so I learned to describe your appearance."

Ji Fenglin said, "How is the painting?"

Because of this sentence, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

He will never embarrass Bai Shuangxing.

"……Ok."

Bai Shuangxing carefully held the drawing paper in his hand, rubbing it gently with his fingertips: "It's been so long, you've been alone, you've worked hard."

She thought for a while and asked curiously, "How is your relationship with your adoptive father?"

She had specifically inquired about this matter before.

Since his father passed away, Ji Fenglin was sent to live in an orphanage, and the person who adopted him later was a male who lived alone.

"not bad."

Ji Feng smiled: "He is a very friendly person, he insists on not marrying, and treats me very well."

When he bent his eyebrows, the sense of oppression not long ago dissipated without a trace.

Since he had just woken up from sleep, his black hair was unkempt and disheveled in front of his forehead, and his eyes were also pitch black, showing a soft and warm color like amber under the light.

The corners of the mouth are very thin, and now they are slightly raised, showing a beautiful curvature.

As for the profile——

Bai Shuangxing's eyes flickered.

She listened carefully, and when the other party finished speaking, she suddenly got up without warning: "Wait a minute."

Ji Fenglin was a little puzzled, seeing her leave the chair, turned around and walked into the bedroom.

When he came out again, Bai Shuangxing was holding a soft blanket in his hands.

She walked lightly and quickly, stretched out her hands, and handed the blanket to Ji Fenglin: "Here. Don't exacerbate the fever."

——He was polluted by evil gods, and fever and splitting headache were among the symptoms.

It was rainy and cold in the middle of the night, and the air was threatening. Ji Fenglin simply wore a sweater. After a long time, his condition would definitely get worse.

Looking at the side of his face, there was already a sickly flush on the bloodless skin.

Speech also has a faint nasal sound.

The blanket is not heavy, just the right thickness for late autumn.

Ji Fenglin was slightly stunned, and when he took it with a nod, he smelled a reassuring fragrance.

He thanked him earnestly, and Bai Shuang walked to the balcony and closed the French windows to prevent the cold wind from coming in.

"My adoptive father raised me until I graduated from high school, and when I went to college, I traveled around the world."

Ji Fenglin sat on the sofa beside him, wrapped the blanket obediently, and continued the previous topic: "Because I'm a writer by profession, in his words, travel is to get more inspiration - do you usually do this?"

Bai Shuangxing also smiled: "Of course."

The rain on the balcony didn't stop, and she sat lazily by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Maybe it was infected by Ji Fenglin's emotions. After having someone by his side, the gloom and gloom of the rainy night were swept away, and his mood became inexplicably lighter.

Bai Shuangxing was very patient, and explained to him: "Staying at home all the time, the whole person will be suffocated. If I feel unable to write, I will go wandering around. If I have enough time, I will just buy a plane ticket."

Ji Fenglin raised his eyebrows: "Whatever?"

"casual."

She stretched her waist: "I can go wherever I want, sometimes alone, sometimes with Shen Chan - she likes to travel very much."

After that, they talked all night.

First, he talked about Baishuangxing's free-wheeling travel experience, then he talked about Ji Fenglin's childhood and middle school years, and finally when the topic turned to the truth of Bai Ye, the sky was already dark.

Shen Chan slept comfortably all night, came out of the bedroom yawning, saw two figures by the balcony, and was startled:

"You... just woke up?"

To be precise, haven't slept yet.

Ji Fenglin glanced at Baishuangxing: "What do you want for breakfast? I'll make it."

Bai Shuangxing met his gaze, and said righteously: "The patient should go to bed and rest obediently. Even if I go to make breakfast, I won't let you do it."

Thinking of the terrifying cooking skills that this Eldest Young Lady once had on a whim, Shen Chan's complexion changed, and she waved her hands again and again:

"Don't, don't, we are all innocent children, please let Chef Bai show mercy and let us go."

After a pause, I realized something later: "No... No, no, how long have you been sitting here talking?!"

For the next two months, Bai Shuangxing's surroundings were peaceful.

It is said to be "calm and calm"... But looking at the world, the frequency of white nights is getting higher and higher.

Countless people died in the cruel survival challenge, the population of the world dropped sharply, and fear spread everywhere and everywhere.

Under such circumstances, even though the relevant departments tried their best to rectify it, the society became more and more chaotic uncontrollably. The news of robbery and murder alone almost occupied the entire page of the newspaper.

Some people gave up on themselves and took this opportunity to groan unscrupulously; some felt that there was no hope and jumped from the tall building.

More people choose not to leave the door, curled up in the room day and night, but even so, it can't change the fate of death——

With the increasing power of the evil god, the scope of each white night is growing rapidly.

Even if you have nothing to do with the world and hide in the corner of the room obediently, you will be drawn into it by other survival challenges in the block.

There is no escape.

People panic.

"……Ugh."

Lying on the sofa, the Goddess of Light watched the news on TV and couldn't help sighing: "It's a mess."

Bai Shuangxing sat beside her and ate a mouthful of matcha mille-feuille.

On the TV, there was a message of a man holding a machete killing people indiscriminately on the street.

The man claimed that the end of the world was coming soon, and everyone was dying anyway, so it was better to die by his hands.

The camera on the street has been mosaiced, and when you look up, you can see pools of hideous blood.

"Humans, what do you think?"

The God of Light couldn't understand: "If you don't deal with ghosts, you will kill your own kind... Will killing innocent people gain him any benefit?"

Pen fairy stood on the coffee table and moved her body: "This is the Badness of people."

Although it cannot be said that "human nature is inherently evil", it is undeniable that human beings have a very strong self-interest.

For example, the man in the news tried to vent his dissatisfaction by killing passers-by just because he was suffering and depressed.

The more desperate the environment is, the more obvious this Badness becomes.

Baishuangxing was noncommittal.

In the past two months, she has been well protected by the Supervision Bureau, and she has never been attacked by believers——

Several believers tried to approach her, but were all caught on the spot.

It's a pity that nothing can be asked from their mouths.

After believing in the evil god, human minds are gradually influenced by him, and they no longer have normal logic.

According to Xue Zizhen, believers have an unbelievably strong longing for the Lord of Chaos, and regard him as the master of the new world. Only by following in his footsteps can they survive Nirvana.

When he said this, Xue Zizhen smiled bitterly: "If the evil gods are really allowed to break through the barrier between the two worlds...the future they believe in may become a reality."

Nowadays, the only people that human beings can rely on are Shura and the God of Light.

In the existing cognition, only gods can fight against evil gods.

In the past two months, both of them have collected about a quarter of the soul fragments, and their strength has increased a lot.

But everyone knew that with this alone, it was absolutely impossible to defeat the evil god.

Regarding this, Shura snorted coldly: "It's still early before that guy arrives, so there's nothing to worry about."

Having said that, when he sensed a soul fragment in the southern hemisphere this morning, he rushed over without hesitation and has not returned until now.

Apart from these two gods, the relationship between Bai Shuangxing and other ghosts in the "House of Gods and Ghosts" has become much closer.

After the initial running-in period, the family members became familiar with each other's habits. Among them, Jiang Mian and Qin Mengdie's affection degree unlocked a new skill——

When the contract was first signed, the second skill box of the ghosts all displayed like this:

"Two unknowns"

"Please work hard to increase the goodwill with your family members so that you can acquire more skills!"

Just over a month ago, Bai Shuangxing heard the familiar Ding Dong system sound.

"Congratulations to the challenger 'Bai Shuang Xing' for successfully increasing his favorability and reaching a relationship of 'wholehearted trust' with his family members 'Jiang Mian' and 'Qin Mengdie'."

"As a reward, the second skills of 'Jiang Mian' and 'Qin Mengdie' are now available."

"Please keep working hard and get along with more family members!"

"'Jiang Mian' skill introduction"

"One White Night Fantasy"

"Two bite the heart and eat the bone"

"Manipulate strong resentment, pull the skill target into a place of eternal doom, and suffer the pain of piercing heart forever."

"It is effective for humans, non-human creatures, and ghosts. It can be used as a range skill, and it can also designate a target.

Can only be used once per white night."

"'Qin Mengdie' skill introduction"

"A Burning Heart"

"The Blessing of the Two Evil Spirits"

"Manipulate strong resentment to form a protective shield, which can resist a mental attack."

"Each white night can only be used once, and it can protect up to five people at a time."

Both are the ability to control the resentment of ghosts, but the effect is completely opposite.

Jiang Mian was once tortured to death by Baili with all kinds of means, and every minute and every second was an inescapable torture for her.

This pain is deeply engraved in her memory, so the second skill is biased towards killing and torture.

Qin Mengdie's first skill was "Fire of Burning Heart", which became the condensation of her resentment when she died.

Stripping away her identity as a "spirit", she is still a teacher.

For students' expectations and protection, new defensive skills have been bred.

It has to be said that this ability is very practical.

Although Baishuang Xing has Grandma Song Chenlu's "Guardian Spirit", it is only limited to counteracting a fatal physical injury, and it can't play a role in the face of the spiritual pollution of evil gods.

Teacher Qin's second skill may have unexpected effects at critical moments.

It's fun to get new skills, but compared to them, what Bai Shuangxing cares more about is the favorability marked by the system.

Trust with all your heart.

It means that Jiang Mian and Qin Mengdie can entrust everything to her, wholeheartedly, without hesitation.

This kind of emotion even goes beyond many "family members" who are only related by blood in the general sense.

That day, Bai Shuangxing stared at these four words tightly, in a daze for a long time.

While thinking wildly, a thunder flashed across the sky, bringing Bai Shuangxing's thoughts back to reality.

The news on TV was still broadcasting, she rubbed the center of her brows.

Xue Zizhen called yesterday, claiming that recently, believers no longer deliberately target her.

It sounds like a happy thing, but when you think about it, it's very strange.

It stands to reason that Baishuangxing possesses the buggy skill "House of Ghosts" and also destroyed the very important No. 444 White Night, which has been regarded as eyesore by believers.

However, after that white night, only a few sporadic few came to her door, and up to now, they have even disappeared by her side.

Aren't they worried that she collected more gods to fight against evil gods?

During that phone call, when discussing with each other, both Bai Shuangxing and Xue Zizhen guessed a terrible fact.

The believer knows that it will take a long time for her to search for the fragments of the gods, so the reason why she no longer targets...

It is because they are convinced that before the White Frost Tour collects enough fragments, the evil gods will be able to come to the world.

At first, the Goddess of Light predicted that the evil god would come, and it would take two years.

That is based on the premise that his strength remains unchanged.

Nowadays, the number of followers of the evil god is increasing day by day, providing him with more and more beliefs. In addition, there are white nights similar to No. 444 all over the world. By squeezing the souls of victims, they can obtain a lot of nourishment.

The power of the "Lord of Chaos" is getting stronger day by day, and the speed of breaking free from the barrier is naturally faster and faster.

How fast will it be?When will He come?What will the world be like on that day?

no one knows.

Human beings are too small, all they can do is wait.

"It's not peaceful recently, it's better to go out less."

Shen Chan watched the news on TV and muttered in a low voice: "...I just hope that before the evil god comes, all human beings will be killed by my own hands."

There was another muffled thunder in the sky, the gust of wind rolled the curtains, and the fabric swayed bulgingly.

Pea-sized raindrops fell outside the window and fell into the house through the open window.Shen Chan shivered, stood up from the sofa, and went to close the window.

"Having said that, I was browsing the Baiye forum yesterday, and the posters in several posts said that they saw a real ghost—not Baiye, but reality."

As she walked, she asked curiously: "Is this possible? There won't be any ghosts who can leave the white night and come to reality?"

Bai Shuangxing glanced at Jiang Mian beside him, and smiled softly: "Mianmian and Teacher Qin, aren't they just ghosts?"

"That's different, you have [House of Ghosts]?"

Shen Chan shrugged: "It said in the post that the ghosts they saw looked terrible, similar to the ghosts in the white night. Someone even took a photo, and it was a ghost following a passerby—"

Before she finished speaking, she froze suddenly and stood motionless by the window.

Bai Shuangxing noticed something strange: "What's wrong?"

On the other side, as if sensing something, the eyes of the Goddess of Light darkened slightly.

"In the sky...and in the street."

Shen Chan took a breath, and took two steps back: "Something happened!"

The right eyelid twitched suddenly, Bai Shuangxing got up quickly, and walked towards the French window next to the balcony.

Seeing the scene in front of her clearly, even she couldn't help but suffocate.

It was afternoon at this moment, and the thick clouds above the dome were churning, blocking the rays of light from the sun. It was suddenly dark and quiet, just like the evening.

What is very strange is that, as if stabbed by a sharp weapon, a dark red rift opened in the sky.

The rift stretched for several miles, and the dark clouds on both sides receded, like scars stretching across the sky, and like a strange and huge eye, staring at the ground firmly.

Thunder flashed, and the edge of the crack was illuminated by white light, giving off a dark and rich red; in the center of the crack, a blood-like liquid flowed, suspended in mid-air, flowing faintly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the sky seems to be infinitely lowered, and it's extremely close to the ground. It seems that if you don't pay attention, it will collapse and engulf the world.

The indescribable sense of oppression brings intense tension and anxiety.

Shen Chan's face turned pale: "Could it be, the evil god?"

The goddess of light came to the window without saying a word, for the first time, there was no smile in her eyes.

"Not him."

She said in a deep voice, "It's impossible for him to break through the barrier so quickly...it's a ghost."

Under the ravages of the evil god day after day, the barrier has been damaged, and tiny cracks appeared.

He couldn't come out by himself, but the smaller and weaker ghosts could easily pass through the gap.

The goddess of light's complexion is not very good:

"Remember what I told you, in the white night, there is a power to confront evil gods and protect mankind?"

Bai Shuang nodded.

Without the check and balance of that mysterious force, human beings would die without a burial site and be torn to pieces by the ghosts as soon as they entered the white night.

They have speculated that the skills people have are also endowed by it.

"Before that, it was the one who set up the various rules in the white night, so that ghosts had to abide by them, and they couldn't kill humans as they wished."

The god looked gloomy: "But its power...is limited."

Shen Chan understood: "With the destruction of the barrier, more and more fierce ghosts have come to our world, and it is difficult for it to bear this load... Until now, it is no longer possible to restrict those ghosts?"

The God of Light was silent for a moment and nodded.

Specters break free from the restrictions of the rules, which means that they can enter the human world and start massacring.

The whole world will truly become a carnival of blood and death.

Shen Chan's back felt cold, she opened her mouth, but made no sound.

Her mind was a mess.

Bai Shuangxing frowned: "Can't you tell the source of that power?"

The blond woman beside her showed helplessness: "Yes."

The God of Light said: "It is very strong, but it is very strange to me."

It is obviously powerful enough to fight against evil gods. It has existed in this world since a long time ago, but it has been unknown from beginning to end.

What exactly is that?

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes glanced down inadvertently, and her eyes became colder.

Just like what those posts said in the forum.

Thunder rumbled outside the window, without warning, a man screamed hoarsely.

——The side of the street was dark and full of thick water vapor. An office worker hurried past with an umbrella, not paying attention to a red shadow flashing behind him.

In the blink of an eye again, a bloody hand pierced straight through his heart.

The moment he died, the screams stopped abruptly, like the whimpering of animals in a slaughterhouse.

The thunder was even louder, and a deafening siren sounded from above the city.

Before the arrival of the evil god, human beings had to face the invasion from another world——

This unilateral massacre is about to begin.

"...tsk."

The God of Light immediately made a decision: "I will disperse all the soul fragments and protect as many human beings as possible, you—"

She didn't have time to say the last few words.

The dark red crack in the sky trembled slightly, as if mocking her.The heavy rain was pouring down, and it was gradually stained with a strange color like dirty blood, making it hard to tell whether it was rain or blood.

The dark clouds weighed even lower, and the sound of thunder was dull, like the howling of wild animals.Sensing the fluctuation of breath around her, the Goddess of Light suddenly turned her head.

The place where Bai Shuangxing and Shen Chan were originally located is empty.

The figures dispersed, only the torrential rain remained.

In her heart, the ominous premonition was stronger than ever.

"Welcome to White Night, the survival challenge is about to begin."

Another familiar line.

Only this time, the sound of the system is gentle and quiet, without the noisy "ding dong" sound, every word is paused, and there is an irresistible force.

"We're meeting for the first time, the number is 000, and the main Baiye system is at your service."

main system.

In the endless chaotic darkness, Bai Shuangxing held his breath and his heart tightened suddenly.

Why... the main system would let her enter the white night at such a time?

Does it, which has a supreme status and is responsible for supervising every survival challenge, have its own white night like other surveillance systems?

"Abnormal energy fluctuations have been detected, and this white night is hereby activated."

"Worldwide, fifty 000 White Nights are going on at the same time.

After inspection, this Bai Ye is located in the Huaxia Region, with a total of seven people."

"The seven are the challengers who have experienced the most white nights and the highest total points in the Huaxia Region, including:"

"Bai Shuangxing, Chen Tao, Ji Fenglin, Zhong Jingyi, Shen Chan, He Yu, Lu Guanchao."

"Due to special circumstances, the number of surviving people in this white night is limited——"

"one person."
