The wind blows, drowning out all the hustle and bustle.

The last time their eyes met, Bai Shuangxing saw the fire and smile in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden wind.

The little snake perched on its shoulder spat out its letter, hissed eagerly and panicked, and its severed tail trembled non-stop.

There was wind flowing through her fingertips, and Bai Shuangxing had no time to speak.

In the raging flames, the invisible breeze pushed her far away like a giant hand.

The scene in front of him was gone in an instant, and only the whistling air was left beside him.

When the cold wind dissipated, Bai Shuangxing's feet landed heavily, and the corner where Ji Fenglin was originally, only the flames shot up into the sky.

Surrounded by countless monsters, it was impossible for him and Chen Tao to escape.

As if to verify this conclusion, the notification tone of the main system suddenly sounded, piercing the eardrum.

"Huaxia Region, the challenger 'Monsoon Pro' has died."

"Huaxia Region, the challenger 'Chen Tao' has died."

This long white night is about to come to an end.

For the first time in so many years since his mother passed away, Bai Shuangxing stood there in a daze, his mind blank.

There is still wind passing by my ears, but it is no longer a clear and refreshing cool breeze.

The air was completely wrapped in sticky and hot temperature, accompanied by the unpleasant smell of burnt monsters, the whole world became extraordinarily illusory and foggy, making her unable to experience the real feeling of being alive.

The little snake on her shoulders withered like grass, and pressed against her side face comfortingly.

Bai Shuang took a deep breath.

At the moment of parting, Ji Fenglin handed Shenchen to her.

After absorbing the grievances of several people one after another, no white light can be seen in the divine dust, that is to say, it has faded away from pollution and returned to its original appearance.

An unremarkable, dark red stone.

Bai Shuangxing looked at it, unable to tell what it was like, silent for a long time, then laughed silently.

The one that everyone risked their lives to protect... is it.

Hissing and rubbing against her cheeks, a pair of big black round eyes did not blink, dyed a subtle red in the firelight that spread throughout the forest.

Somehow, at this point, it was overly quiet.

Bai Shuangxing touched its head, his eyes moved, and he looked towards the east.

She knows where the finish line is.

As long as she passes through the barrier with Shenchen in her hand, she can become the only survivor in this white night.

Outside the white night, in front of the screen, countless pairs of eyes stared at her movements.

"Southern Ocean...someone is the first to clear the customs!"

In the Supervision Bureau, the researcher next to Xue Zizhen burst into flames: "He... survived."

"That guy is a complete lunatic."

Zhong Han smiled: "When he leaves Bai Ye, life will not be easy."

The survivor in the Southern Ocean area was a strong man with a height of two meters. According to the information reviewed by the Supervision Bureau, he had been a frequent visitor in the prison since he was fifteen years old, and he could be called an out-and-out villain.

After learning that the dust contained pollution, he did not touch it with his own hands, but threatened his teammates and asked them to pick up this important task item.

At first, it was of course impossible for teammates to agree.

So he made an example to others, captured and tied up all of them, and chose one of them, and tortured him to death.

The torture process was horrific, with knives slashing and burning, cutting flesh and gouging out eyes. In the end, the tortured young man wept bitterly, hoping to be killed with a single knife.

If you can't survive, you can't die. This is the most painful way of living.

With the first case, the others did not dare to disobey, they could only pick up the god dust according to what he said, and were led all the way east——

After all, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. No one wants to experience the feeling of being bullied and humiliated a little bit.

It would be a good ending to fall into the hands of this pervert and die quickly.

Everything that follows is in the hands of the man.

If someone is so polluted that he can no longer hold on, he will quickly end the other person's life.

If any ghosts were attracted by Shenchen's breath, he would throw out a bloody teammate to distract them without hesitation.

In this way, the man reached the finish line smoothly and became the first passer.

Xiang Zhao had seen the scene of him torturing people, recalled that bad memory, frowned and touched his throat.

"Eastern Europe," another detective nodded, "some people survived."

Compared with the previous one, the survivors in Eastern Europe are much more normal.

The six challengers in this region have reached an alliance, and like the Huaxia Region, pass the god dust in a relay form.

The last surviving person, with the wishes of other victims, passed through the dark barrier.

Xue Zizhen saw everything in his eyes and frowned.

Such a white night... Even if there were survivors, the sacrifice would be too great.

A total of 50 survival challenges have been played, and more than 30 have been wiped out so far.

Most of the rest are just trying to survive.

Watching everyone in the Huaxia Region die one by one, she just wished she could pass through the screen and beat the black hands behind the scenes to the brim.

In response to the current situation, people in the White Night Forum are also talking about it.

"Oh my god... I thought this was a dead end game, but I didn't expect to use this method..."

"pay tribute."

"In the white night of all the intrigues, Huaxia Region is simply a clean stream. I don't think I can do what they do, I admire it."

"But I don't like it very much! Everyone else is dead, leaving a Baishuang Xing who hasn't done anything - this is a leak, right?!"

"I think so too. Is it true that if you want to survive this white night, the only secret of victory is to fight to the end? It's not fair."

"That's right... Others worked desperately. They were either eaten by ghosts or cut their own hearts with knives. She enjoyed the rewards and survived."

"Hey, there's nothing to do about it, Bai Ye set it up like this, they can only follow it step by step.

Baishuang Xing was teleported to the farthest place from the very beginning, even if he wanted to help, he was powerless."

"It's already very good if someone survives. This is the common wish of all challengers. There is no need to point fingers at Bai Shuangxing."

"I just feel powerless... Everyone was being played around by Bai Ye, and had to pile up corpses to make a way.

In the last highly polluted area, the Baishuang line contributed the least, but now it can hold the god dust and go to the east end—”

Only half of this passage was hastily sent out.

Followed by a huge question mark.

And the bold type that was typed out quickly——

"Wait, what happened to her? Why... Baishuangxing went west?!"

Clutching Shen Chen tightly in his hand, Bai Shuang walked all the way west.

The scorching wind slapped the side of her face, and where it passed, most of the forest had been burned, revealing layers of scorched black.

Chen Tao said that his fire is unusual, it can burn a person to ashes in two or three seconds.

Therefore, when the fire was bred in the jungle by the strong wind, within a few minutes, the place became a barren land where not a single blade of grass grew.

The trees and monsters were all burned up, and after losing the fuel, the nearby flames stopped, leaving a smooth path for her.

The little snake on the shoulder looked at her quietly, blinking its round eyes, making it impossible to guess the emotions hidden in them.

Of course, Bai Shuangxing didn't know how much turmoil he caused outside Bai Ye when he turned around and ran.

There was only one pure thought in her heart: to return to the village with Shen Chen.

Most of the ghosts in the forest were killed by He Yu and Shen Chan. As for the monsters with physical bodies, they were all scared by Chen Tao's fire and fled in a hurry.

Thanks to them, when Bai Shuang walked on this road, he didn't encounter much obstacles.

The main system was silent for a long time, as if finally unable to hold it any longer, it made a sound.

"Gentle reminder: the challenger is moving away from the finish line."

Bai Shuangxing ignored it, secretly snickering.

Because of the tears she shed, her eyes were red and swollen, and the bottom of the eyes was faintly mist, but when she stared ahead, her eyes were cold and determined.

She was very fast, passing through the burned human bone tree, the mysterious blue realm full of believers' corpses, and the original jungle.

The crises were resolved one by one before, and the return journey was unimpeded.

In contrast, Bai Yewai's live broadcast screen almost exploded.

"???"

"What is she going to do? Everyone has worked hard to piece together a way out...Don't mess around!!!"

"Who can explain her inner activities? The exit is obviously in the east, how did Baishuangxing return to the village where it started?"

"And the barrier in the village is about to shatter... She is courting death."

"I'm at a loss. She doesn't really want to waste the chance of survival, does she? What is she doing?"

Not only them, but even the staff inside the Supervision Bureau looked at each other in blank dismay, with only confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.

"She... went back to the village?"

Zhong Han gently rubbed his temples: "Is there anything important in the village?"

He knows the strength of Bai Shuangxing, and knows that she is not someone who will mess around easily, and she is a little more calm and rational than netizens.

But the current situation, he couldn't figure it out.

"In the village..."

Xiang Zhao scratched his head: "There are villagers, temples, and..."

What else, he couldn't think of.

He has never followed Bai Shuangxing's thinking logic.

Beside him, Xue Zizhen looked up at the picture on the screen, was silent for a while, and said softly: "Sacrifice."

Xiang Zhao was stunned, shocked by the short words, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

And Xue Zizhen's expression was serious, with unpredictable emotions welling up in his eyes, he continued: "The villagers... plan to summon that nameless god."

Sacrifice.

These two words flashed through his mind quickly, and Bai Shuang took a step forward, stepping into the protective barrier between the village and the forest.

During the time they left, the barrier was severely damaged.

The ghosts took advantage of the gap and wandered around the avenue.

It is evening now.

The sunset glow in the sky was as red as fire, and it was darkened by the night. When looked up, it seemed that the sky was oozing with dirty blood.

The ghost broke into the barrier, and the men, women and children in the village could only flee in embarrassment. Most of them hid in their houses and dared not even open the windows.

Baishuangxing quickened his pace without stopping.

She was heading in the direction of the temple.

Caught off guard, the little snake on his shoulder hissed suddenly.

Bai Shuang felt something in his heart, and his eyes turned away, and he actually saw his own character's mother.

"How did you come back?"

The woman raised her voice in astonishment, and beside her were two children, a boy and a girl whom Bai Shuangxing was familiar with.

Both eyes of the child were red, and when he saw her, he showed a little bit of joy that he hadn't seen for a long time: "Sister!"

Judging from their appearance, they should be fleeing in a panic to avoid the attack of ghosts.

"You didn't make it through the woods?"

The woman looked her up and down, confirmed that she was not seriously injured, and let out a long sigh of relief: "There's something wrong with the barrier again. I'm going to the north to fix it, you..."

She originally wanted Bai Shuangxing to stay by her side, but thinking about her daughter's identity, she hesitated.

The Baishuang Xing was a sacrifice chosen by the village head but fled without authorization.

"Are you hurt?"

Bai Shuangxing nodded: "How about the village chief's sacrifice?"

"We're all fine."

The woman looked around and lowered her voice vigilantly: "The sacrifice failed."

She spoke quickly, with a sigh:

"The village chief has already lost his mind. After you left, he asked divination to find out several other suitable sacrifices... Not long ago, he died with them in the temple."

Several lives died on the spot, but the result was that the Wuming God did not respond.

The villagers witnessed the whole process and watched the sacrifices die one by one, but the barrier happened to be broken, and the house leaked when it rained all night, and there was a lot of public grievances for a while.

Some people left angrily, some cried and tidied up the corpses, and some angrily kicked the statues, accusing the gods of their ruthlessness.

They are obviously devout enough, why don't they want to give them even a look?

"The sacrifice is simply impossible to succeed."

The woman shook her head sadly: "The gods are in the sky, how can they hear the prayers of the human beings on the ground? Let me tell you, instead of tossing about what is there, it is better to gather the people in the village and repair the barrier as soon as possible."

Bai Shuangxing listened quietly without making a sound.

The woman was still talking: "Forget it, the sacrifice is the sacrifice. Anyway, the village chief is dead, so you and your younger siblings are by my side, so I can take care of you."

The little snake on the shoulder turned to look at her.

Bai Shuang raised her lips and smiled, then shook her head: "I want to go to another place first."

The woman was puzzled: "It's such a time, where else should I go?"

The atmosphere between each other froze for a moment, Bai Shuangxing looked into her eyes: "Go to the temple."

The boy beside him blinked: "God... temple?"

The girl shook her head again and again: "It's dangerous to be alone, my sister won't go!"

The woman couldn't hide her surprise: "What are you doing there?"

Bai Shuang moved his lips.

She didn't say what her real intentions were. She considered her words for a moment and said softly, "Just take a look. The ghosts have invaded the village. If you search carefully in the written records of the temple, you might be able to find a way to deal with them."

The woman was skeptical, and before she could respond, Bai Shuangxing turned around and waved her right hand, making a gesture of farewell.

Before going to the temple, she said quietly: "I will go to the north to find you, don't worry."

After saying one sentence, he hurriedly said goodbye to the family of three, Bai Shuangxing seized the time and quickened his pace.

Holding Shenchen, she was already being watched by several keen ghosts. Every time she took a step forward, she could feel the murderous intent approaching.

Bai Shuangxing remembered the location of the temple, pushed open the thick door, and smelled a strong smell of blood.

On the ground, the dried blood of the village chief and the others remained.

Bai Shuangxing only glanced at it, then looked away calmly.

There is no light in the temple, and it depends on the light from the window to overflow and scatter in all directions, outlining the general outline of the statue.

There are many statues in this place, and they are lined up one by one, casting heavy black reflections, silent and not angry, which made her subconsciously feel a little depressed.

At the end of the hall, there is the imposing Hydra, and the nameless god whose appearance is not clear.

The setting sun shines through the window, reflecting a few dancing thin light spots, intertwined with light and dark, giving a dreamlike psychedelic feeling.

Bai Shuangxing stood in front of the two statues, raised his head slightly, and showed no superfluous expression.

In her hand was an unattractive dark red oval stone.

And the short dagger exchanged from the White Night Mall earlier.

Holding the knife, she gestured at her wrist with a blank expression.

"What is she doing here?"

"Wait a minute... If I understand correctly, Bai Shuangxing, she will not sacrifice?!"

In the real-time comments, the barrage was maxed out for the umpteenth time.

"Ah? Sacrifice?? Do you treat yourself as a sacrifice???"

"With all due respect, didn't the villagers all clearly say that the sacrifice couldn't be successful? She finally got the chance to live, and she just ruined it like this?"

"This is an opportunity that everyone worked hard to earn together... She wasted her life on such impossible things as sacrifices, is she worthy of other people?"

"Who can tell me what the sacrifice is all about? This white night is too exciting and intense, and I almost forgot about this village."

"I watched the replay of the screen recording. When we met for the first time, the village chief said:

Once the sacrifice has given its life, when the god comes, the dead will

I rely on!!!The dead return to the underworld, the divine light shines everywhere, and all evils recede!"

"!!!"

"Ahhh, there is still this one? So she wants to???"

"It's too early for you to be excited. The village chief sacrificed his life with several people, and the Wuming God didn't care about him at all. With Bai Shuang's actions, can he succeed in summoning?"

"However, if you think about it this way, the content about the 'sacrifice' is very intriguing.

In order to dispel the pollution in the god dust, someone must sacrifice one after another; and after the sacrifice is successful, literally, it can bring the dead back... Isn't this just right for a lifetime to die?

Do you remember?There is an unwritten rule in Baiye, there will never be a deadly situation."

"so funny!

Taking ten thousand steps back, how can Baishuang Xing ensure the success of the sacrifice?"

correct.

How can we guarantee the success of the sacrifice?

Playing with the short dagger in his right hand, Bai Shuangxing stood alone in the temple with a solemn expression.

After becoming the only survivor, she experienced loss and despair.

But being depressed is never the solution to the problem. Standing in the overwhelming firelight at that time, Bai Shuangxing tried to think.

In this white night, there is actually a very strange point——

There is almost no connection between the background of the opening and the subsequent challenges.

For example, the background of "Evil Ghosts" is Baijia Street. As a disciple of Master Baili, she needs to complete the hell test arranged by her master.

The main tasks of the "First School Rule" are all related to learning subjects. In the "Third Mental Hospital", they are asked to treat patients' mental illnesses.

Only this time today, the village that believes in gods and the forest where ghosts and ghosts are rampant have no essential connection between the two.

Their identities as "sacrifices" seemed to be just mentioned casually.

As we all know, Bai Ye seldom talks about irrelevant nonsense in a large space. Since villages, sacrifices, hydras and nameless gods are mentioned repeatedly, there must be deep meanings.

After thinking this through, Bai Shuangxing went on to think:

The reason why these clues exist, what exactly do you want her to know?

Logically, she remembered what the village head had said——

The gods come to the world, the dead return to the underworld, and all evils recede.

Many years ago, the ancestors in the village indeed successfully summoned the gods, which shows that this sentence is true and there is absolutely no falsehood.

As long as a certain condition is met, she may be able to do it.

The handle of the dagger was gradually warmed by her, Bai Shuangxing looked at Shenchen in the other hand.

The village head also said that in order to summon the gods, enough offerings and suitable sacrifices are needed.

Thinking of this, she smiled helplessly.

Baishuang is gambling.

Since her identity is one of the sacrifices, this identity has a high probability of being useful.If you want to successfully complete a sacrifice...

The most suitable offering is not Shenchen.

As a result, Shenchen has been absorbed by teammates to absorb all pollution, and it contains mysterious and powerful power, which is very precious.

Secondly, according to the villagers, Hydra is dead, and the only thing she can summon is the nameless god.Shenchen is originally the remnant power of the nameless god, and they may have a connection with each other.

Think about it this way, the sacrifices and offerings are all in place.

The halo outside the window became even darker, Bai Shuangxing clenched the sharp knife in his hand.

She heard the whimpering and roaring of the ghost—

A few twisted and ugly monsters were lying by the window, feeling the breath of the gods, and crazily crashing into the glass and iron bars.

Some of them broke through the window lattice and squirmed into the hall, their eyes were cloudy and fanatical, staring straight at her.

Shenchen's aura was faintly visible, so it was destined that she would not be safe around her.Baishuangxing had been prepared for a long time, took a defensive posture, and clicked on the skill panel in his mind.

At the same time, there was a muffled creaking sound, and the door of the temple was pushed open.

Bai Shuangxing thought it was more ghosts at first, so he casually turned his head to look, and was suddenly stunned.

It's the three family members of her character.

The inside and outside of the main hall were full of ferocious ghosts, and they rushed in just to find her.

The woman saw the dagger in her hand at a glance, and her eyes were hot: "What do you want to do?"

Several wraiths floated up from behind her. The woman gritted her teeth and raised her hand, showing the exorcism charm she got from the high priest, and pressed them hard on the top of their heads.

She has always felt that her daughter's attitude is indescribably weird, and when Bai Shuangxing entered the temple, she was worried for a while and followed.

I didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as entered the door.

The enchantment has been destroyed, the sky is full of dark clouds, and the blood mist is overwhelming.

The screams of the ghosts were accompanied by the screams of the villagers, one after another, lingering in the ears.

Everyone knew well that the fate of the entire village was at an end.

However, even so, in the center of the storm surrounded by ghosts and ghosts, the woman still straightened her waist and stretched out her hand to Bai Shuangxing: "There is still hope... Come here quickly, don't do stupid things!"

Bai Shuangxing pursed his lips without responding, and suddenly raised his eyelashes——

The cold wind came from her fingertips, and at the moment when several ghosts were about to attack the woman, it turned into sharp blades!

In an instant, more than a dozen pale, bloodless hands protruded from the void, strangling the most vulnerable throats of the ghosts.

Click.

The neck of the demon, who was still murderous a second ago, was mercilessly twisted.

——This is Jiang Mian's "bitter heart and bone".

"It'll be fine."

No longer looking at the skill panel in his mind, Bai Shuangxing twirled his wrist and exerted his strength secretly.

She moved without hesitation, and the blade fell in the air, drawing a straight and sharp arc.

When the blade was about to sink into flesh and blood, Bai Shuangxing looked at the family of three and smiled softly: "...to live well."

This sentence came out subconsciously, and she was in a trance for some reason——

The same content, someone had said to her when she was a child.

Baishuangxing didn't think too much.

She raised the knife and dropped it in an instant, and she saw a cold light overflowing, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, directly attacking her chest.

The flesh was torn open, and blood spattered.

For the first time in her life, she made a very pious wish:

Hope this prayer can be heard.

If her guess was right...then "it" must be able to hear it.

Beads of hot sweat broke out from the palms of his hands, the pain tore his nerves, Bai Shuangxing held his breath, his body trembled, but his eyes were firm and gloomy.

Outside the white night, there was a few seconds of blankness in the always noisy real-time comment area.

In the Supervision Bureau, Xue Zizhen clenched his hands and stared at the screen intently, his heart beating violently, almost piercing his chest.

I do not know how long the silence.

Suddenly, Xiang Zhao let out a hoarse cry: "...Shenchen!"

There seemed to be a cluster of electric currents in the body, and a hot fire breathed.

Xue Zizhen trembled slightly, his eyes fell on the seemingly ordinary dark red stone bead.

It was placed in front of the statue by Bai Shuangxing, and it was stained with her blood at the moment. It trembled in place and burst out with a strong dark light.

Xiang Zhao's eyes became hot, and tears burst into tears, but Bai Shuangxing on the screen lowered his eyes and smiled quietly.

She won the bet.

On the chest, the bloody mouth cut by the blade is healing little by little.

In fact, from the very beginning, the rules of sacrifice have been a complete paradox.

For the sacrifice to be successful, the requirement is that "the sacrifice sacrifices its life", in exchange for the gods to come to the world and the dead to be resurrected.

But the sacrifice himself is also one of the dead.

If she can be successfully resurrected, this sacrifice will lose the most fundamental premise and fail to meet the initial conditions;

If she is dead and cannot be brought back to life, it would be against the rules.

This is Bai Ye's hidden way of life, or in other words, a very obvious hint, which was thrown to them at the very beginning.

Analyzing along this line of thought, there are actually many ambiguities in the mission.

For example, the main system specially reminds——

"The village chief's sacrifice is absolutely impossible to succeed."

If sacrifice is useless, it can omit all prefixes, why only emphasize "this village chief"?

Another example is the clear warning——

"Please note: Only obtaining the god dust is the only way for challengers to pass the level."

"Get God Dust" can pass the level.

Instead of "crossing the barrier at the end".

Using Shenchen to pass through the forest is indeed one of the means of customs clearance, but she is the only one who survived.

That was not the ending she wanted.

Another meaning of this warning is that they must use Shen Chen to complete the sacrifice in the main storyline.

The warm white light quietly enveloped her.

The color of blood, the night and the bright colors are intertwined and fused, time seems to be frozen except for her, and even the clouds in the sky have stopped floating.

On Bai Shuangxing's shoulder, the little black snake spit out a letter, its eyes were silent, as deep as a pool.

Not an illusion.

Under its eyes, Bai Shuangxing saw a slight smile.

"It's dangerous."

It didn't open its mouth, but made a soft and hoarse female voice, with a slight smile: "You are not fully sure, aren't you afraid of failure?"

Once it fails, there is no doubt that the Baishuang Guild will die on the spot.

Bai Shuangxing glanced at it, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "They can all risk their lives for a gamble... Even for them, I have to try."

She is rational enough, but also has a certain degree of ego and selfishness, and rarely makes great sacrifices like the Virgin.

But this does not mean that she is a cold-blooded cowardly waste.

The little snake wagged its tail, as if satisfied with the answer.

"This white night is a trial and the last chance."

It said: "Luckily, you made it."

It paused for a moment and blinked: "Do you know who that nameless god is?"

Bai Shuangxing thought for a few seconds, and honestly expressed the conjecture that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

The little snake smiled deeper and nodded.

it is as expected.

Bai Shuangxing's pupils moved.

Although she had thought about it a long time ago, now that she has received an affirmative answer, she still has an unprecedented feeling.

After a long time, she asked, "What about you?"

The black snake hissed and spit out the letter, his eyes were gentle and gentle.

"Actually, humans here have always misunderstood."

It didn't answer the question, but it also showed its identity: "Many years ago, 'it' and I responded to their call for help, never because of flesh and blood and sacrifice."

Xiao Snake said: "We just feel their determination to sacrifice, that's all."

She gets it.

Bai Shuangxing smiled weakly: "Is it the same now?"

"Ok."

The little snake looked at her: "Humans are really magical and interesting creatures. Although each individual is extremely small, when gathered together, they are like sparks."

It shook its tail and lowered its head slightly: "The ultimate goal of this white night is to stimulate the determination and goodwill in human hearts, so as to awaken 'it'—congratulations, you have successfully achieved it."

The "it" in Black She's mouth refers to the nameless god who comes and goes without a trace and has no form.

Until now, Baishuangxing finally figured out its identity.

Strong enough to rival the evil gods.

He once protected this little-known remote village from evil spirits.

In the white night full of endless resentment and killing, the one who has always stood by the human side and provided them with shelter and skills——

No wonder neither the Goddess of Light nor Shura knew anything about its existence.

That mysterious power has never been a god far away in the sky.

Melancholic and heavy, with a long history.

Knowing that you can't do it, you will do it, go forward, and the momentum is irresistible.

This is the belief and determination unique to human beings.

The so-called "nameless god" is nothing but the condensation of good thoughts in human souls for thousands of years.

But now, this power that has lasted for thousands of years has been awakened by her and by them.
