Chapter 119 Surprise
After Bai Shuangxing woke up, everything returned to the established track.
The evil god died, the pollution dropped sharply, and many ghosts were imprisoned in the white night, unable to harm the world.
The challengers who were dragged into No. 000 White Night from all over the world were revived. Most of them wept with joy and embraced tightly with their family and friends, while a very small number of them were in embarrassment——
The rules of this white night are confrontational on the surface, requiring challengers to kill each other and compete for the only chance of survival.
It would be fine if everyone fought fairly, but there were several outliers who liked to kill and abuse, and their inhumane behavior from beginning to end was completely witnessed by people outside the live broadcast screen.
It is said that the police launched a search and investigation on several of them, which really involved many unsolved cases.
Thinking of the live broadcast, Bai Shuang Xing felt another headache.
She doesn't like to be in the limelight, and she is not interested in being sought after and commended. As a result, thanks to those live broadcasts, she became famous overnight.
First, the leaders of the Supervision Bureau came into the hospital to visit, and then several high-level figures who often appeared in the news broadcast came, and the small ward was filled to the brim.
Although Bai Shuangxing was tired of coping with this kind of scene, he behaved neither humble nor overbearing, just right from beginning to end, neither showing timidity nor unnecessary arrogance, and the conversation went smoothly without any mistakes.
As the farewell was approaching, the Supervisory Bureau proposed to hold a public commendation meeting for the seven members of the Huaxia Region. Bai Shuang was shocked and shook his head:
"No, no, if you want to make a public appearance, let the other six go - if someone asks, I'm lying on a hospital bed with serious injuries and can't move for a short time, that's fine."
Shen Chan chuckled when she heard this: "Me too."
The live video was spread wildly on the Internet, and the faces and names of the seven challengers were already known to the public. As the only group of people who cleared No. 000 White Night, their reputation was pretty good.
It is precisely because of this that it has attracted a large number of people and journalists to pursue it——
For example, right now, there are many figures waiting downstairs in the hospital.
Shen Chan felt that this situation was very frustrating.
"Also."
The leading middle-aged man smiled helplessly: "You guys have a good rest in the hospital. We will solve the problem on the media side, and don't let reporters come in to disturb. After a while, the limelight will fade away."
Having said that, with this name and this face, Bai Shuangxing might be recognized by some people no matter how long it has been.
After all, not everyone can do such things as preventing the coming of evil gods and resolving a huge crisis in the world.
They don't plan to appear in public, but due honors and rewards are still necessary. The established commendation ceremony cannot be refused, and Bai Shuang accepts it politely.
In addition, she also asked about the situation of several other challengers.
They are in the same Huaxia region, scattered all over the world in a country, after being teleported out of the white night, they are naturally far apart and not in the same place.
Zhong Jingyi is in the west, Lu Guanchao is in the north, Chen Tao lives in a coastal city in the east, and He Yu is in the southeast.
It is amazing to think that they had no intersection at first and lived in completely different north and south of the river. It was not until entering that white night that they met for the first time by fate.
Compared with Baishuangxing, the physical condition of the rest of the people is not serious, and they only need regular necessary psychological consultation.
The Supervision Bureau counted their identities and contact information a day ago. Using their mobile phones, the seven of them started a group chat.
"Wow wow wow wow! We actually cleared the level!"
This bluffing tone can be guessed by Chen Tao without thinking: "Since yesterday, my whole family has been crowded with reporters, relatives and friends—how about you?"
"Thank God, let them all visit you."
Zhong Jingyi replied honestly: "I have stayed in the bedroom and will not go out."
It can be seen from before that she has a restrained and rational personality, and she will reject all interviews, which is expected by Bai Shuangxing.
Lu Guanchao's text followed closely behind: "Wait patiently for a while, let the heat of this matter go down."
Finally, He Yu.
He only replied with very short three words:
"Working."
Hoarfrost Walk: ...
He had just escaped from a crisis, and when he turned around, he was about to roll up his sleeves and sort out important unfinished cases.
How should put it, as expected of you.
"thank you!"
Chen Tao patted Bai Shuangxing's headshot: "I really didn't think of the last way to break the situation - if it weren't for you, I would have become a corpse now."
Bai Shuangxing smiled, lowered his head and answered:
"It was you who sent Shenchen to me first."
She never takes credit for pride, and it is everyone's joint credit for being able to pass the White Night.
"Speaking of which, since the evil god is finished, will there be a white night in the future?"
Chen Tao typed quickly: "I just watched the news, and it seems that someone was dragged in again."
"Occasionally."
Ji Fenglin replied patiently: "However, there is only a small part of the power of the evil god left, and the ghosts inside can't make waves. In the current Bai Ye, there is basically no danger to life."
This is what Hydra told them.
It woke up quickly from deep sleep. In order to save the little power left, it turned into a little black snake and obediently perched on the head of Baishuangxing's bed.
According to it, the consciousness of human beings has dominated most of the white nights now, and ghosts will not be allowed to make trouble.
The reason why a very small number of people were pulled into the survival challenge was because some ghosts could not dispel their grievances and tried to break through the confinement.
"You can rest assured."
The little snake bent its eyes, and spoke softly: "Even if someone enters the white night, they can still get the assistance of the system—the current main system is completely controlled by the human consciousness."
After that, when its power recovers, it will clean up the remaining Baiye and Ligui one by one, so that the world will truly return to peace.
Everyone's life can slowly get back on track.
"That's it! That's great!"
Chen Tao is a warm-hearted person. Through the text, one can imagine his appearance when he grinned softly: "Soon, we will all go to the capital to attend the commendation ceremony, right? See you then!"
Bai Shuangxing sent a crying cat expression pack:
"If you want to appear on the scene, you all work hard."
Shen Chan: "There are three of us here, all of them refused."
Ji Fenglin: "Yes."
Zhong Jingyi: "After the live broadcast video went out, I was walking on the street yesterday, and I was chased by a group of children asking for my autograph. God."
Lu Guanchao: "I also have them here. Those kids insisted on asking me if I was the Hulk."
Didn't he just grow a little taller and stronger?Why Hulk?
He Yu: "..."
He Yu: "You're pretty good. Because of the 'All Souls Extinction' trick, all my niece's friends know that her uncle is a black magic fairy."
The rest of the people were overjoyed and sent thumbs up together.
After a brief chat with them, on the third night of hospitalization, Bai Shuangxing met three familiar people.
To be precise, it is not human beings, but "dead souls".
——Two women and one man, not only the three old people who appeared in her childhood, but also Bai Yeli's mother and two children.
Time has passed, and they are no longer what they looked like in Bai Yeli. They are all white-haired, with vicissitudes of life and kind eyes.
Looking at Bai Shuangxing, the mother in the middle suddenly smiled.
"Did the sudden visit startle you?"
Her expression was gentle, without the slightest evil spirit of a ghost. She looked like an ordinary old woman, except that her feet floated up and down slightly.
Bai Shuangxing was stunned: "You..."
In fact, there is a problem that she has been unable to figure out.
She went back to a hundred years ago in the white night, and saved the lives of the three of them by sacrificing herself to drive away the evil spirits.
And a hundred years later, the three old men who died of death and turned into ghosts found her, and asked her to live hard when she was young and helpless.
After a hundred years, cause and effect have formed a perfect closed loop, every link is perfectly seamless, but——
The barrier back then has not been destroyed by the evil gods, why did they come to this human world?
"After that white night, everyone in the village remembered it in the form of dreams."
The old man answered carefully: "Our village is located at the junction of the two worlds. After knowing that the barrier was damaged, we shouldered the work of repairing and guarding it."
It was a very awkward time.
The human consciousness fell into a deep sleep, and the hydra lost its power. Although the evil god was seriously injured and fled, and temporarily posed no threat, there were still many ghosts trying to break through the shackles.
Thus, the village began a long period of protection.
The living people study exorcism, and become ghosts after death, and continue to wander at the junction of the two worlds, sometimes finding fleeing ghosts and capturing them.
"Since ancient times, the barrier between the two worlds has not been solid."
The old man said: "If you think about it carefully, have there been legends of ghosts and ghosts since thousands of years ago? Some of the legends are not made up, but ghosts found tiny cracks in the barrier and came to the world."
The job of Hydra used to be to constantly repair those cracked gaps.
Bai Shuangxing nodded thoughtfully.
"We guard the border and can travel back and forth between the two worlds."
The old man stared into her eyes and smiled warmly: "So, sometimes I will go to see you quietly."
They never forgot the girl who saved the lives of the whole village.
Through the breath of human souls, they finally found Baishuangxing one day. In order not to change history, they only dared to look at her from a distance, and never had substantial contact.
Until the woman who was her mother cut her wrist, the girl who was less than ten years old looked at the bloody knife in the corpse's hand with a gloomy gaze.
They showed up at that time, stopped Bai Shuangxing's idea of following the example of a woman, stayed by her side like a family member, told her some lame jokes, and rummaged through the box to find food for her, and accidentally saw a carrot.
As early as in the white night, when several people gathered around the table to eat, Bai Shuangxing had shown resistance to this kind of food; after that, he came to see her occasionally, and understood her likes and dislikes better.
So they cursed angrily, and those words were remembered by the ignorant girl.
In this way, cause and effect correspond, and finally form a complete circle.
The obsession that had been suppressed in my heart for so many years disappeared at this moment.
Bai Shuang nodded knowingly, and smiled unconsciously: "Thank you. Seeing you back then...was very important to me."
She paused and asked curiously, "Will you continue to guard the barrier?"
"Ok."
The old man on the left nodded with a smile: "We will assist Hydra to deal with the ghost in the white night, after all it is now—"
Turning his gaze, he looked at the little snake beside the bed.
The hydra has no self-consciousness of a strong man, its eyes are bent into small crescents, and its tail is wagging and nodding.
After that everything is business as usual.
Bai Shuangxing received treatment in the hospital, and her flesh wounds healed day by day. Shen Chan, Ji Fenglin and Jiang Mian took care of her day and night, which lasted for a whole week.
She was not seriously injured, and she basically recovered after seven days. After being discharged from the hospital, she first went to the Supervision Bureau to cooperate with the investigation, and learned a lot about Bai Ye's current situation from Xue Zizhen.
"Why do these relevant departments always have so many things?"
Shen Chan stayed by her side the entire time, and yawned: "Go home and have a good rest, you should be able to sleep well tonight."
Ji Fenglin sent them home, his eyes flickered: "It's been cold recently, please keep warm."
Bai Shuangxing nodded.
Time passed quickly, and when she entered the white night for the first time, it was still autumn with falling leaves.
In the blink of an eye, the temperature dropped sharply, ushering in a cold winter.
Walking outside the house, the cold wind kept blowing into his bones, Bai Shuangxing shivered, and took out the key from his pocket.
Click.
The keyhole was turned accordingly, and the door was pushed open to enter, and there was a dense and drowsy darkness.
No one and no sound.
The ghost in the "House of Ghosts" was severely injured by the evil god, and has been in a coma until now, and has never responded to her.Bai Shuangxing took a deep breath into the palm of his hand, and turned on the light by the door.
Pressing the button, the light in the living room did not turn on, it was silent and dark, which made her subconsciously stunned.
Bai Shuangxing pressed the switch again, but there was still no response.
"The lights at home seem to be..."
She was about to turn around when she was caught off guard when she caught a glimpse of a ray of light.
Like the light of a candle.
In the twilight covering the surrounding fields, someone coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and sang with unskilled emphasis: "Cough... Wish, happy birthday to you, wish you..."
It was Shura's voice, clear and sweet, with a bit of awkwardness.
After singing a line, Xu Shi felt shy, and the young man said anxiously in a low voice, "Why is it just me, don't be dumb!"
I don't know who laughed.
Qin Mengdie's voice was gurgling like water, followed by Shura's almost distorted tune: "Happy birthday to you."
Then came the smiling Goddess of Light, the jubilant 099 and the bouncing Pen Fairy.
……Eh?
Bai Shuangxing stood by the door blankly.
There was a knife-like cold wind behind her, but she felt inexplicably hot on her cheeks, and suddenly blushed.
That ray of bright flame flickered and moved towards her step by step. It could only be seen clearly when it was close. It was a strangely shaped cream cake.
The cake was held in Shura's hand. It didn't look like it was made by a dessert shop. It was crooked in shape and circled an irregular circle. The cream on it was going to squeeze out some kind of animal, but due to the lack of craftsmanship, it became an inexplicableAlien.
It's obvious...it's a birthday cake.
Because she was born in winter, she was named "Shuang Xing".
The candlelight illuminated pairs of familiar eyes, standing between them, very rarely, Bai Shuangxing felt at a loss.
"Shuangshuang."
Shen Chan behind her said with a smile at the end: "Happy birthday."
Ji Fenglin stood in the direction of the night wind, shielding her from the chill.
He also said: "Happy birthday."
Jiang Mian was wearing a thick snow-white sweater, like a soft rabbit, stretched out his hands and gave her a big bear hug.
In the silent night, every violent beating of the heart was extremely clear.
Today is her birthday.
Bai Shuangxing originally thought that everyone was too tired and too busy, so no one would remember.
It is not uncommon for her to spend her birthday alone——
For some reason, in the moment of trance, Bai Shuangxing's eye sockets felt sore.
"Here's the cake we made for you together."
The switch was pushed open, and Qin Mengdie turned on the light in the living room: "Although the appearance is a little...but the taste should be fine."
"It's all the guy's fault."
The God of Light glanced at Shura: "I insisted on making a dragon out of butter, but in the end I made something."
Pen Fairy was startled: "It's actually a dragon!"
It, it, it thought it was a big frog, but luckily it didn't say it in front of Shura!
"I?"
The long-haired young man sneered coldly: "Why don't you explain why the cake looks like a lump of mud?"
The God of Light smiled back: "This is called flow, line, and shape."
"After all, everyone has no experience."
The little black snake was perched on Qin Mengdie's shoulder, looking at Bai Shuangxing: "I'm telling you quietly, they seem to be out of tune, but they actually study hard. This cake is the result of countless failures."
Shura hit the nail on the head: "In front of us, is this considered 'quiet'?!"
The little black snake shook its tail, raised its head and smiled at him.
Shameless show off.
The corner of Shura's mouth twitched.
At home, it seems to be more noisy.
099 Some children have a heart, control the Shura knife and come to Bai Shuangxing, and gently stick to her: "Happy birthday! New year, be more happy!"
The Goddess of Light ignored Shura, who was staring at Hydra, and smiled back:
"We heard that in the human world, gifts made by hand are more sincere, so we prepared this surprise. I planned to send it to the hospital, but I didn't expect you to come home today."
She raised her eyebrows as she spoke, and looked at Ji Fenglin: "He taught the method steps, not bad."
Ji Fenglin stayed in the hospital to accompany him, and he could only give online guidance through his mobile phone.
A family of gods and ghosts, only Qin Mengdie knows how to cook——
But he can't stand a room full of idiot teammates.
Bai Shuangxing chuckled: "Thank you."
correct.
She blinked and pursed her lower lips: "I also have a surprise, I want to tell you."
As soon as a word was uttered, the noisy room fell silent for an instant.
Several pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time, Bai Shuangxing couldn't help smiling, and took Ji Fenglin's arm.
The people around him visibly froze.
Without extra words, Bai Shuangxing pointed to his chest: "This is my boyfriend."
A second of silence.
Three seconds of silence.
five seconds—
In the fifth second, Shura's duck called in the living room: "Gaha—?!"
Little Jiang Mian froze and opened his mouth wide.
Brother and sister, together?Does this mean being together?Did she hear correctly?
Is she, is she dreaming!
099 raised his voice: "Huh? Boyfriend? So you two? Huh?!"
"Ok."
Ji Fenglin raised the corners of his mouth unhurriedly, looked directly at the long-haired young man's round eyes: "Little uncle."
oops.
Qin Mengdie covered her mouth and did not suppress the smile on her lips; the pen fairy who had already had a premonition kept clicking her tongue and let out a long "噫——".
The God of Light paused for a while, then narrowed his eyes slightly: "Boy, friend, friend?"
Okay, good, what a big surprise.
A few seconds ago, she glanced at Ji Fenglin admiringly, but now, it seems to be a sneer.
The two incompatible gods finally reached an agreement at this moment, and at the same time they pointed their fingers at Ji Fenglin.
Hydra happily wagged its tail, and couldn't help whispering to 099: "At home, the atmosphere is so good."
The swords were on the verge of breaking out indoors, and Shen Chan outside was contented and smiled as her auntie. She had been an assist for so long, and no one would say MVP after watching it.
Well, it's very comfortable to flick off your clothes and hide your body and name deeply.
The house that had finally quieted down was once again filled with chaotic noise.
Bai Shuang stood by the door, unconsciously curling the corners of her mouth.
There was a cool breeze blowing around her, and when she lowered her head, she saw Jiang Mian's clean and clear black eyes.
"elder sister."
The girl asked her carefully: "You and brother, do you mean that you like each other?"
Bai Shuangxing patted her head and nodded.
Then those dark eyes suddenly brightened, as if there was an uncontrollable jumping and dancing, Jiang Mian hugged her and jumped on the spot.
"Happy birthday sister!"
She said: "Every year in the future, we must be together."
It is early winter night.
The sky is getting darker, and the leaden twilight has no end.
In this square hut, the lights are dim and the warmth is dissipated, like the moon emitting soft light in the dark night, and like a calm and stable boat floating on the boundless deep sea.
This is their home.
There were still chattering chattering in her ears, and the unprecedented peace of mind filled her with warmth.
Bai Shuangxing responded with a smile: "Yes."
