Bai Chen stood in place.

The voice seemed to have been synthesized by something, hoarse and unreal.

She was silent for only half a second, and then walked in that direction!

In the night, the black shadow was rapidly retreating, Bai Chen slowly squinted his eyes, and suddenly remembered the piece of paper he saw in his drawer a few days ago.

Her mind raced, and she understood something instantly.

Someone was targeting her—

So...... What about the purpose?

Soon, Bai Chen chased the black shadow to a pitch-black area.

This area uses old-style street lights, and does not use the kind of urban AI that is managed together, so it is difficult to maintain the old and broken, so this kind of area often has a broken street light and the entire road is not clear.

Bai Chen stopped in the darkness, quietly perceiving the movements around him, and thinking quietly-

If the sound is synthetic, then what is it in itself? What about people, or the projection created by PCI? Intimidate her? What to intimidate her?

Bai Chen felt that he had bumped into something he didn't know much about, and walked forward quietly.

However, the black shadow disappeared completely, and there was no trace of it - seeing that it was about to come to an end, Bai Chen suddenly noticed that there was a figure passing by under the light not far away.

She walked briskly over and quickly caught up with the figure.

Sand......

"Huh?" With a few steps left, the figure turned around, a little surprised to see her.

Bai Chen blinked his eyes and found that the person in front of him was ......

"Why are you still out so late?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Bai Chen's behavior when he was still outside in the middle of the night, and when he spoke like this, the earrings glowed slightly under the lamp.

Bai Chen looked at him silently for a moment, and silently withdrew his gaze.

The dark shadow just now...... Of course it can't be him.

"Huh?" In this silence, Jiang Li took two steps closer to her - so Bai Chen saw that the people in his sight magnified a little, and then with a chuckling voice, "Little sister can't be dating her boyfriend in the middle of the night, right?" ”

Bai Chen: "......"

"It's not." She said slowly, then leaned sideways, bypassed him, and walked straight in the direction of home.

Before he took two steps, he heard Jiang Li "crying" behind him: "Alas, what should I do if I am disgusted by my little sister......

Bai Chen: "......"

I'm okay to meet you, do I need to say more?

Although I don't know what he's doing here.

She felt a little inexplicable.

"Well, I'll send you back, girls should try not to be alone outside when it's so late in the future." Before Bai Chen could react, footsteps sounded behind him again.

"No need, go downstairs." As he spoke, Bai Chen pointed to a residential building not far away.

Jiang Li: "......"

After half a second of silence, the man laughed out loud, lit a cigarette, and said in a relaxed tone: "Aha." Then you go up first, and remember to turn on the lights when you get home. ”

Bai Chen nodded, turned around and walked towards the corridor-

But the moment before stepping in, she turned around and asked, "Jiang Li, with your experience with fledglings, what were most players who stepped into this game like at first?" ”

Jiang Carp took a cigarette in his mouth and was stunned.

"Hmm......" he pondered for a moment, one hand pinching his cigarette, "fear." ”

Bai Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Well, the initial ash world is often the most feared thing in people's hearts, although it is not possible to tell how many ash worlds will be encountered in the future, but the impression of danger and fear is set at the beginning - a normal person wants to get rid of it, but it generally does not help." Jiang Li's words seemed to be very serious, but he didn't see much solemnity, but was a little careless, "If you can, I hope it's just a nightmare." ”

——

Bai Chen returned home, turned on the light, and only stood quietly at the door thinking about this matter.

Whether it's the chick who was "killed" before he could get in touch, or the two people who teamed up with him today...... They all seem to feel the same way about this game.

Fear, as Jiang Li said.

She had a hunch, a weird instinct that made this proposition, which shouldn't have been a proposition that she had to face, and the accident became extraordinarily prominent.

But at this moment, a series of soft sounds sounded in the PCI.

Be...... Hint from the group in the world of ashes.

Zhuo Yu pulled a discussion group of only three people in the ash world - Bai Chen set the class time without prompting, and it was obvious in this kind of night when there was no sound.

[Zhuo Yu:! I'm in the world of ashes now! 】

[Fang Li: Bai Chen is not there? Let's go and help—]

Bai Chen raised his eyebrows.

This is......

[Fang Li: If Zhuo Yu has friends with you, click on her information, and you can forcibly intervene if you rank higher than her]

As if remembering that he hadn't said this, Fang Li added another sentence to the conversation.

Intervention.

Bai Chen's fingers flicked, and he clicked on Zhuo Yu's information - there was an intervention option at the bottom.

A second before touching the option, she hesitated for a second.

She didn't know what she was hesitating about.

In retrospect, it may have been a concern about the negative impact of my involvement...... There's something else.

But there was only a moment of hesitation.

At the same time as choosing to intervene, the world instantly turned black and white - compared to the previous silent sound like a tide rolling in, Bai Chen could clearly feel the "sense of passing", and the surrounding pictures were rapidly switching and fading, as if time had passed.

Soon, she saw Zhuo Yu.

Zhuo Yu's dress was different from usual, at least the few times Bai Chen had seen it, it was a long white dress, putting aside the emaciated face and overly gloomy complexion, it was a dress that could be described as tranquil.

"You're so fast." Zhuo Yu blinked when he saw Bai Chen.

Bai Chen didn't respond to this, and looked around: "Your family?" ”

Zhuo Yu was brought up by her, straightened her face, and nodded.

Bai Chen looked around in silence - this room seemed to be just one of many rooms, with a mirror-smooth tiled floor, oil paintings hanging on both sides, and a piano at the end, showing that kind of ......

Probably the breath of a local tyrant.

"The piano room? Do you come often? Bai Chen's gaze was fixed on the piano at the end.

"Not really." Zhuo Yu pursed his lips, "I hate the piano the most...... It's just that you're here as soon as you leave the room, and you just happen to be here again! ”

Bai Chen nodded, indicating that he knew.

Zhuo Yu, who originally wanted to explain a few more sentences, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw that she accepted this reason so calmly, and the words were stuck in her throat and couldn't speak.

"So, who is using the piano room in your house......" Bai Chen walked over, looked at the piano, and in the middle of his words, there was a sudden sound of the piano -

In the black and white world, when no one speaks, it is no longer quiet, but silent.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of the piano.

- It's not good, Rao is a person like Bai Chen who has no research on musical instruments, and he can also feel that the piano player's skills are jerky.

But that's not the point, the empty simple sound of the piano comes from the piano, but the piano ...... There are no piano players.

"What the hell is this!" Zhuo Yu couldn't help but touch her arm, thinking that the image was so strange that she felt scared - in fact, she was scared too.

"Who's using it on a regular basis?" Bai Chen asked again.

"It's my sister." Zhuo Yu walked over and got closer to her.

"Where's your sister?"

"At home, she should have fallen asleep when I was involved, she was a good student who went to bed early and woke up early...... Eh, why are you still wearing a school uniform......" Zhuo Yu was a little puzzled.

Bai Chen walked over: "Is she playing the piano very well?" ”

This time, Zhuo Yu didn't really want to follow her, and stood in place to watch her movements: "Of course it's good...... She has been learning since she was a child. ”

"You mean, it's probably not like she's going to pop it up." Bai Chen stopped in front of the piano, as if there was an invisible person playing the piano, and only looked at the keys that were pressed......
