For snakes, Baishuangxing has no research.

This little snake has a slender body, with black and green scales covering its whole body, and its tail seems to have been injured, with a small part broken off.

Can't tell what species it is.

However, since it can be held in the palm of the boy obediently, it shows that it has a docile personality and is non-toxic and harmless.

The little snake rubbed against its chin, bringing a icy and cool touch. Bai Shuangxing raised his right hand and tried to touch its head.

Mini and smooth, it is a bit like jelly, unexpectedly, it feels good.

"Come on in, it's time for lunch."

The woman said softly, "What do you want to eat for lunch today?"

Not long ago, when she confronted the village chief in the temple, she acted forcefully and coldly from beginning to end, never showing a smile.

Now facing the three children, the woman let go of her tough attitude, with a shallow arc on the corner of her mouth.

The boy was very energetic and jumped on the spot: "Potatoes!"

The girl put her hands behind her back and tiptoed: "Scrambled eggs with tomato."

Immediately afterwards, three eyes fell on Bai Shuangxing at the same time.

But how would she know what food this character prefers.

Once you leak your mouth, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Bai Shuangxing smiled gently: "It's just as long as you two enjoy your meal, I have no other requirements."

"I'm going to prepare meals."

The woman said: "You...you can stay with them first. I have discussed with the families of the six children, and I will let you meet at the entrance of the village in two hours."

Shenchen can only protect one person to pass through the barrier, no matter whether Baishuangxing can use it to leave in the end, the younger siblings and mother in the family are destined to stay in this village.

According to the system, in a few days, the evil spirits will completely invade the village, and the villagers will have nowhere to escape.

This is the last time they see each other.

The woman gave her a deep look, then turned and walked towards the kitchen inside the house.

The two children were innocent and didn't know that their sister was about to leave, so they chattered around Baishuangxing.

Bai Shuangxing blinked, and said friendly: "What were you doing before I came back?"

The girl replied honestly: "I am planting flowers!"

Bai Shuangxing remembered that the woman once talked about "sowing seeds", indicating that the time of this white night was in spring.

The child will never run out of energy. As soon as the three words were spoken, the girl took her right hand and walked quickly to the corner of the yard.

The courtyard in early spring is full of vitality, and the soil on the ground is covered with layers of thin green.

Vegetables and fruits are planted on the right side, some of which have small tender green buds; on the left side is a flowerbed, planted with winter jasmine and camellia, with elegant and beautiful flower branches, and a few small buds protruding.

Close to the house, there is an unremarkable vacant lot.

"right here."

The girl pointed to the open space: "We just buried the seeds in the soil. Sister, how long will it take for the flowers to bloom?"

Bai Shuangxing thought for a while and answered seriously: "Usually three to five years. After burying it, remember to pay attention to watering, fertilizing and lighting. It will take a lot of effort for the seeds to grow out of the soil and grow into seedlings."

After speaking, realized that the village would be destroyed a few days later, and the two children would not be able to wait for the flowers to bloom.

They will die early and become food for the evil spirits to fill their stomachs.

She pursed her lips in silence.

What is the meaning of this white night?

Show them a small village about to be devoured by evil, prompting them to engage in a meaningless battle...

Baishuangxing doesn't think that the main system just wants to kill them all.

If it really has such deep malice, just design a confrontation game directly, let the challengers be hostile to each other and kill each other, there is no need to add so many twists and turns of the plot, bothering and laborious.

But she couldn't figure out the purpose of doing so now.

The two children squatted in front of the soil where the flower seeds were buried, seemingly full of longing, oblivious to the approaching murderous intent.

The little snake named "Hiss" curled up on the boy's shoulder, looked left and right from time to time, and looked up at Bai Shuang.

Not long after, the women in the room raised their voices and asked them to eat.

In fact, Baishuangxing is not too hungry, but the many times of Baiye experience made her understand: people are iron and rice is steel.

Seeing that he was about to enter the forest, he didn't know how long he would be tossing in it. After getting the god dust, there would be another fierce battle between people.

She must replenish her physical strength in advance.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, and the demands of the two children were met, including homemade potatoes and tomato scrambled eggs.

As for the remaining two dishes——

Bai Shuangxing's eyebrows twitched.

One plate was stir-fried pork with green peppers, and the other plate showed a familiar orange-red color.

It's a carrot.

Bai Shuangxing hated eating carrots since she was a child, but the porcelain plate containing it happened to be placed in front of her.

Her face remained unchanged, and she picked up the chopsticks.

The woman is good at crafting, and the taste of the home-cooked dishes is just right.

Bai Shuang buried her head in her meal, when she heard the woman ask suspiciously: "Is the carrot not cooked to your taste? I didn't see you move your chopsticks."

Bai Shuangxing shook his head: "I just... have no appetite."

Soon, she will leave the house and go to the mountain forest polluted by evil spirits.

Uncertainty about life or death, or knowing good or bad, no matter who it is, it is natural to feel worried.

It is reasonable to be unable to eat.

The woman's eyes were dim, and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes.

Bai Shuang remained calm and changed the subject: "If I leave with the other six people, the village chief will definitely blame you."

The woman raised the corner of her mouth.

"Let's blame it. Now the people in the village are in a state of panic, and no one cares more about it."

Speaking of the village chief, she did not hide the disdain in her eyes: "He is fascinated by the myths and legends in the ancient books of the ancestral hall. He has been out of the gate for many days and devoted himself to studying the so-called 'sacrifice'. When we repaired the damaged barrier, we did notSaw him show up once."

Everyone in the village said that the village chief was almost in a daze.

"leave?"

The girl hears key words: "Where is sister going?"

"My sister is going to the woods, looking for an exit from here."

The fact of the sacrifice was too cruel, and the woman didn't say it outright.

She moved gently and touched the girl's head.

"Aren't the woods dangerous?"

The boy on the side opened his eyes wide: "When will my sister come back?"

Their concern is pure and clear, without any other emotions.

Bai Shuangxing smiled when he heard the words: "... soon."

Hearing this answer, the boy looked at her with more worry: "Do you have to go?"

Receiving an affirmative reply, the child's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and after thinking for a while, he stretched out his right hand.

In his palm is the little snake.

"Hiss, sister, take it with you."

The boy said: "It has a very strong sense of smell, and it can tell you in advance when encountering emergencies."

After a pause, he strengthened his tone: "Besides, hiss can sometimes tell the direction. If you get lost, you can let it lead the way."

Bai Shuangxing's heart twitched slightly.

Orientation?

This snake is a bit too human.

She carefully looked at the appearance of the little snake, who blinked his black grape-like eyes, didn't understand what she was thinking, and tilted his head blankly.

Look, a little dull.

A snake won't cause too much trouble, and it won't hurt you to bring it along.

The plot is arranged in this way, maybe there is a corresponding intention, which can make it come in handy at a certain point in time.

Bai Shuang practiced good deeds, and carefully took the little snake: "Thank you."

She turned her eyes: "How long has hiss been at our house? I can't remember clearly."

"Half a year."

The boy didn't know what she was talking about, and held up half of his face with his right hand: "I remember when we found it in the woods, it was covered in blood and its tail was bitten off—time flies so fast."

He didn't say what happened next, Bai Shuangxing could guess most of it.

After picking up the injured black snake, the family has raised it until now.

The girl showed a puzzled look: "It's strange, after so long, why hasn't Sisi grown up at all? We are feeding it every day."

Woman: "Hmm...maybe it's a miniature snake?"

Bai Shuang smiled: "Is there such a variety?"

As the main character being talked about, the little black snake blinked and rolled its big round eyes.

After eating and resting in the house for a while, it was the agreed meeting time.

According to the woman, she had discussed with several other parents and asked them to gather at the entrance of the village and leave the village directly.

Bai Shuangxing went to the destination together with her, observing the surrounding scene while walking.

There is no abnormality in the center of the village, the closer to the periphery, the more intense depression and uneasiness can be felt.

The village entrance is located at the end of the road, and there are no houses nearby, so it is sparsely populated and looks particularly desolate and gloomy.

It was also at this time that Bai Shuangxing saw the change outside the village at close range.

Across the invisible barrier, everything in the village was as usual. Outside the village, there was a dark black fog everywhere.

It was noon, but it was like evening.

The branches of the trees twisted into incredible arcs, the leaves were all blackened, and cracked like spider webs.

What is even more chilling is the dark and slender shadows under the tree that only have vague outlines.

The figures scattered around, lined up one by one, almost twice the height of Bai Shuangxing, each one leaned over, and lowered their heads to cast their gazes at the entrance of the village.

Quiet and most creepy.

Bai Shuangxing only glanced at it, then looked away.

Shen Chan waited here for a long time, saw her, and waved vigorously: "Shuangshuang!"

Pausing for a second, he suddenly looked over her shoulder: "This is—?"

Shen Chan's smile froze: ...

Shen Chan soared soprano: "Be careful, there are snakes!!!"

In order to prevent her friend from dying in vain from the snake's venom, she plucked up the courage, and stretched out her hand to bounce the black snake away, scaring the latter's eyes wide and froze, like a straight noodle.

One person and one snake successfully scare each other.

Bai Shuangxing chuckled, indicating that she would be fine.

"My family asked me to bring it."

Bai Shuangxing raised his hand and patted the little snake's head: "It's called hissing. I heard it can sense danger. Let me show you the way."

Hissing and wagging his tail, he rubbed the top of his head lightly against her fingertips as if he was still in fear.

The animal Shen Chan was most afraid of was the snake, seeing it now, she moved silently and stood on the opposite side.

As expected of Bai Ye, in any other Yangjian game, the pets for the protagonist are fluffy.

The little snake looked at her, then looked down at himself, not quite understanding why this human being showed a frightened expression.

Because of the legend of the hydra, everyone in the village likes this animal very much.

Seeing Bai Shuangxing coming, Ji Fenglin nodded slightly at her, and He Yu nodded coldly.

Lu Guanchao was not interested in her, he turned a blind eye to her, and stood silently by the side without expressing much.

Zhong Jingyi held a piece of drawing paper in her hand and smiled politely: "There is still one person missing."

Bai Shuangxing had the impression that it was the red-haired young man who talked non-stop from beginning to end.

Thinking this way, Chen Tao's breathless voice came from behind:

"I'm here, I'm here! Let's go now?"

"Be careful."

Zhong Jingyi said: "After the mutation happened, my 'father' tried to go outside and passed through this small forest."

She unfolded the drawing paper in her hand, and there was a very simple road map drawn on it.

"According to him, the further you go, the more serious the pollution will be. Although the area outside the village is the easiest part of the entire forest, it is still very difficult for him."

Bai Shuangxing was curious: "Because of those figures?"

Zhong Jingyi shook her head.

"A human figure is the condensed resentment of a ghost. It can only make people stunned and depressed, and it will not endanger their lives."

She paused, and said seriously: "Once we step into the outermost forest...our spirits will be affected immediately, and we will gradually enter a trance state, and finally be dragged into an illusion."

Shen Chan didn't understand and asked, "Dreamland?"

"The outermost layer of pollution will plunge humans into endless fear."

Zhong Jingyi said convincingly: "In the hallucination, my 'father' saw a terrible scene——a fierce ghost broke through the barrier, and the entire village fell completely. Except for him, no one in the village survived."

"what?"

Chen Tao scratched his head: "How to solve this?"

"Later, the ghosts found him and swarmed him."

Zhong Jingyi was unhurried: "He fled desperately to the ancestral hall, found the god dust at a critical moment, and was able to get rid of the illusion."

She paused for a few seconds, then added in a deep voice: "The two people who were traveling with him are all dead, and the death conditions were terrible."

Once they die in the illusion, they will really die.

"So," Ji Fenglin analyzed, "the way to break the illusion is to find a way out in a desperate situation."

Everyone's fears are very different, and correspondingly, the visions they encounter are also different.

This rule reminded Baishuangxing of the phobias in the third mental hospital. At that time, they took turns to experience the feared things in their hearts through the lucky wheel.

Bai Shuangxing glanced at the little snake on his shoulder.

The embodiment of Shen Chan's fear is the snake.

That task was not difficult, and there was even a funny scene of seven aunts and eight aunts chasing them to ask about work, love, and income.

This time, it must not be easily cracked.

When mentioning this matter, Bai Shuangxing thought for no reason, she had never seen anything that Ji Fenglin was afraid of.

"That's all the known news."

Chen Tao rubbed his chin: "I also asked about the Wuming God and the Hydra, but my family couldn't explain it clearly."

He is a chatterbox, once opened, he can't stop it.

"By the way, when it comes to running away, what's your family's attitude?"

Chen Tao babbled: "My father told me that although the previous sacrifices all failed, the people in the village are going to die anyway, it is better to let me die first, maybe there is a one in a million chance to kill the gods.wake."

He shrugged his shoulders: "Although this kind of statement is true... But thinking about it as his son, I feel a little chilled. I only met Ji Fenglin by chance, and I learned from him that we are going to gather at the entrance of the village."

"Human nature."

He Yu said softly: "Even if the chance is slim, as long as there is a slight possibility of surviving, I will not give it up."

If it were him, he would make the same choice.

"It's not early, let's go as soon as possible."

Bai Shuangxing said: "Get to the destination as soon as possible before it's dark. After dark, the woods may be even more dangerous."

Ji Fenglin nodded: "Yes."

All present are veterans who have experienced at least four white nights, and no one hesitates to delay.

Simple and ready, Bai Shuangxing turned his head and looked not far away.

The woman who was her "mother" never left, stood under a tree and watched.

Not only her, but the parents of several other people also had red eyes, staring at the movement here from afar.

They all know that this is most likely to be the last side.

Bai Shuangxing raised his right hand and waved vigorously at the woman.

The latter nodded, his face was covered by tree shadows, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he wiped his eyes.

After a brief farewell, the seven of them stepped forward.

The enchantment has no fixed form, invisible and intangible.

The moment he passed through it, overwhelming resentment surged in, almost suffocating Baishuangxing.

She heard Chen Tao muttering in a low voice: "As expected of Bai Ye on advanced difficulty, he killed a lot of Bai Ye's late stage in seconds at the beginning, so there is a lot of face."

"The main system."

Most of the people were tense, only Shen Chan chatted with him: "If we let us pass the level simply and smoothly, it will lose face.

A winding path cuts through the woods, in every direction, full of tall, lush trees.

Passing by a bent figure, Bai Shuangxing raised his head and looked at it.

As Zhong Jingyi said, when she got close to it, the feeling of suffocation on her heart became deeper and heavier, gradually turning into restlessness and despair.

Bai Shuangxing quickly lowered his eyes and stopped looking at it.

On the left shoulder, Hiss was tense all over, looking into the distance, his eyes were dark, and he could see the vigilance surging like a tide.

As soon as the wind passed by, the dense figures in the forest swayed and twisted like confetti.

The feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense. At this moment, the little snake spit out the letter and made a long and soft sound——

"hiss!"

At the same moment, outside the white night.

detective bureau.

The torrential rain and the rumble of thunder are like an introduction to turmoil, indicating the collapse of order in the world.

Fierce ghosts and alien races came to the world one after another, and ordinary people could not resist at all, they could only be slaughtered and hide at home to wait for death.

Everything happened too fast and suddenly, which caught human beings by surprise. What's more desperate, they had no way to deal with it.

Xue Zizhen sat in the Office of the Investigation Bureau with a splitting headache.

Both the God of Light and Asura have only recovered a quarter of their strength. It is difficult to resist the evil gods and repair the damaged barrier.

Now all over the world is in a mess, the relevant departments can only try anything in a crisis, extensively seek strange people who are proficient in magic arts, and try to make trivial resistance.

Xue Zizhen rubbed his temples heavily, and intern Xiang Zhao's voice sounded next to his ears:

"Sister Xue, they're leaving!"

Xue Zizhen took a deep breath and nodded calmly.

——On the big screen in front of her, fifty real-time videos were neatly arranged, and the background was the dark and treacherous forest.

This is the image of White Night No. 000.

At the beginning of the white night, a signal source of unknown origin appeared in the sky over the country.

They analyzed and processed the signal, and actually got a real-time picture of each white night.

Each picture represents a region.

Huaxia Region, Russia Region, Nordic Region, North America Region, South Africa Region...

Every map section of the seven continents is captured.

According to the data, the challengers selected into No. 000 White Night are the elites who have cleared the most White Nights or performed the best in each region.

As his eyes flicked across the scenes, Xue Zizhen's expression was serious.

Fifty survival challenges, each task is exactly the same.

The challengers acted as village sacrifices, and in order to survive, they went deep into the woods to find the god dust——

She couldn't figure out what the purpose of the main system was.

"There is already an area where all members have been eliminated."

Zhong Han sat on the side, tapping the table with his knuckles lightly: "A bloodthirsty lunatic sneaked into that white night, and after hearing 'Only one survives', he directly killed the other six people."

Of course, he didn't pass the level directly.

When he received the real main task and learned that he had to cooperate with his teammates and go through the forest, the man showed a broken look on his face.

Soon after entering the forest alone, he died.

"The situation in South America is not very good."

Xiang Zhao's heart was tightly hanging on his chest, and the end of his voice trembled with nervousness: "They didn't wait for two hours, and immediately left the village after receiving the mission—three people have already died in the outermost illusion."

In other white nights, someone will assign Zhong Jingyi's role.

In this character's home, important information about the outermost phantom can be obtained, but it is a pity that the South American region is eager for success and missed it.

He didn't want to see the bodies of those three people a second time in his life.

One was disemboweled, another was burned in a raging fire, and the other was chopped into minced meat and scattered on the ground.

Xiang Zhao retched a few times and drank the herbal tea on the table.

It's hard to imagine what they've been through.

"Huaxia Region——"

Focusing on the central display screen, Xue Zizhen clenched his right fist and was covered with cold sweat: "The illusion has begun."

Bai Shuangxing's consciousness kept falling.

An unbearable pain spread from the depths of her brain, and her limbs lost all strength and were so limp that she didn't want to move.

wrong.

More than being weak.

Her body was shrunk.

This is a child's body, the hands and legs are short and thin, and the physical strength has degraded by an unknown number of times, and it is difficult to even move.

The lax consciousness quickly came back, and Bai Shuangxing remembered what Zhong Jingyi said, "endless fear".

The period when she felt the strongest fear was...

The colors in front of her eyes slowly merged, outlining a house she was all too familiar with.

It was Bai Shuangxing's childhood bedroom.

She was leaning against the head of the bed, and there was no one else beside her.

The sound of the little snake spitting out the letter in the ear stopped abruptly, and looking down, the hissing disappeared.

His body was as limp as cotton, and Bai Shuangxing was about to try his best to get up, when suddenly, he heard the door being opened.

Without knocking on the door or asking, the other party pushed it away without warning, making a creaking sound.

Mother would break in from time to time and lose her temper at her, which was commonplace in the eyes of Bai Shuang at that time.

Seeing the opponent's appearance clearly, Bai Shuangxing concentrated and held his breath.

A woman, if her form can still be called a "human", her face is pale and bloodless, and there are three different faces on the same head.

Each face is like a huge flat pimple, with pitted faces and different expressions.

The left side is crying uninterruptedly, murmuring, complaining about the indifference of the husband and the incompetence of the daughter.

The one in the middle glared, his facial features were distorted by anger, he was cursing, and his words were unbearable.

The face on the right is much calmer and more resentful, looking at Bai Shuangxing and whispering softly:

"I'm sorry, mom doesn't want to beat you and scold you, I'm just, just angry for a while, forgive mom, okay?"

This is most of Baishuangxing's memories of his mother.

Faintly feeling something was wrong, Bai Shuangxing secretly made a defensive posture and remained silent.

Those three faces stared at her expression, and opened their mouths at the same time: "Do you want to go to the top floor to have a look?"

Bai Shuangxing remembered.

The most frightening moment in her life was when her parents had a big fight one day, and her mother was crying and carried her upstairs.

That night the night wind was very cold, the woman held her armpits with both hands, and hung her on the outside of the balcony little by little.

As long as he let go, Baishuangxing will fall to his death.

At this moment, she was once again in the same situation as before.

As in the memory, the mother is so powerful and terrifying that she is invincible, while she is a child lacking the strength to even truss up a chicken, living in the shadows and can only be slaughtered.

She tried to move her fingertips, but she still had no strength and it was difficult to resist.

Bai Shuangxing knew it well.

The difference was that in this white night, the mother would actually kill her.

"Let's go."

The woman's face was full of blood blisters. When she laughed softly, the three faces simultaneously pulled the corners of her mouth to the maximum, which was extremely weird: "I'll take you to the top floor."
