As night falls, the nights get longer this season, and the playground lighting time does not keep up for a while, and at the moment the colors are strong in the dusk.

It's also time for the shift change-

In the "Haunted House", several ghost players are in the lounge, ready to leave work - this haunted house was built in a hurry, and it is connected to a certain passage to the interior of the haunted house, and the lounge was part of the main building in the original design.

At this time, there was only one person in the lounge - a small man wearing a T-shirt and black trousers, maybe only a little more than one meter six tall, in today's generally well-nourished Xingguo family living conditions, his height is not even comparable to Bai Chen, who is an orphan - thin and his cheekbones are still a little prominent, making people feel that he is at least a "monkey" impression if not a sharp-toothed character.

He still has a white cloth hanging from his hand - apparently he's playing a ghostly role in this haunted house.

"Survey visitors? It's so troublesome, can't Brother Lin hack the playground system? Brother Lin is awesome, Brother Lin and I have one heart, he can handle it! He was still on the PCI and drinking mineral water as he spoke.

This Lu Xinglin's little follower is called Cai Jie - Bai Chen has seen him.

"Obviously because you're a 'staff member.'" The voice on the other side of the call sounded calm, but the voice was not Lu Xinglin's.

"Damn, don't say it, I'm actually bored and want to experience the feeling of the haunted house staff, but I didn't expect to meet acquaintances on the first day." Cai Jie took two sips of water again, even if he wasn't very thirsty, "That science competition Sanwu actually came here, I thought she only wrote test papers on weekends!" ”

Since that night's Guardian Night passed, Cai Jie had changed Bai Chen's nickname from "Science Competition Cinderella" to "Science Competition Three Nothings" - obviously because he didn't feel the truth before.

He was the staff member who appeared in front of Bai Chen today at the back of the torii gate - by now, he didn't really know whether he was scaring the other party, or if the other party had scared him.

Thinking about this, he took another sip of water.

"I've heard you cheated her on the Night of the Guardians."

Damn, which pot can't be opened!

"It's my, it was Brother Lin's own doing, I was just caught by him to help!" Cai Jie almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and it took a few swallowing movements to swallow the water completely.

This action actually exposes his nervous mood - he has a bad premonition, and when he is nervous about something, he will subconsciously drink water.

He may have thought of the events of that night, and what he heard later, of the two fires that had taken place in the Old Town.

"You just said you have one heart."

Cai Jie: "...... Bah! ”

"Hey, don't tell me that your chairman's sense of responsibility for helping others has come out again, and we're ......."

"I'll just say it casually...... However, the King's Sword is too big, and we have no basis for negotiating with them, so I don't advocate any interaction with them. There was a little speechless, explaining his true intentions at this time.

"Oh, I thought you might get sick, but this is a trivial matter......" Cai Jie said casually.

…… That's what you say every time.

The complaints over there were all in my throat, but I felt that it was pointless to dwell on this matter, so I changed my words: "Forget it, but pay attention here, I will investigate the planner of the haunted house later." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry—" Cai Jie's tone was relaxed, and by the time he said this, he had already put aside his ghost clothes.

At the same time, he was holding a bottle of water in his hand.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a silence on the other side.

Just like when talking on the phone, there is usually a little sound on the other side, even if both sides are silent - but in this case, the other side obviously does not give too long a silence time, and he does not say anything that makes people unable to answer.

It was also at this time that Cai Jie realized that something was wrong - he turned around sharply and found that the room was decorated as an ancient Japanese place, and the atmosphere was eerie.

It was as if the sound had completely disappeared from the world.

"." He finally came back to his senses and cursed, "I won the jackpot." ”

——

——

Although he learned about some bizarre things, Bai Chen didn't pay much attention to it.

She has never paid attention to things in reality, and there is no difference between what happens and what doesn't.

This seems to be the normal reaction of her personality to things - but she is unusually obsessed with the world of ashes.

It was Sunday, and when she got up, she glanced at the breakfast left on the table, and Wangcai, who was yawning on the chair, and silently turned to wash up first.

When he sat down again, Wangcai jumped on the table and ran in front of her, looking at himself unabashedly with a pair of big round eyes.

Jiang Li didn't say when he adopted it, but at first glance, Wangcai's age should not be very old, and the gray and white fur is very shiny...... It can be seen that I usually eat and live very well.

It's also strange to say, Jiang Carp looks like a hands-off shopkeeper, not like a master who will spend time on pets, and he looks lazy when he runs errands in the ashes.

But......

Bai Chen picked up the chopsticks and glanced around the room - there was no smell of second-hand goods, slackers or otaku residences in the simple house-because there were no funny decorations such as tribal chieftain masks, no piles of garbage, and no poster pillow figures of otaku gods and goddesses......

"Meow." Bai Chen glanced to the end, Wangcai didn't know if it was out of dissatisfaction that she was being ignored and screamed, she turned her head and happened to meet one of the other party's paws-

The cat was squatting in front of her, and when she turned her head, the pads on its paws landed on the tip of her nose.

It patted its nose.

Bai Chen was silent, and a person and a cat fell into a strange look.

Wangcai was basically in a state of ignoring her some time ago, and it seems that he has only recently begun to try to contact himself.

But it also only patted it, quickly withdrew its claws, and jumped off the table.

Bai Chen was silent for a moment, and then turned on the PCI - casually opened programs such as news, thought about it, and sent a text message to Jiang Li.

Then I put the text screen aside, just in time to see the news that loaded—both the attack, the accidental fainting of the haunted house at the playground in the suburbs.

It is said that in the "Ghost Girl's House", there is a staff member who fell to the ground for unknown reasons while off work, and has now been taken to the hospital, and his condition is unknown at this time.

The short message, without photos and more detailed reports, made Bai Chen inexplicably a little concerned.

She was still thinking about it, and then received a reply from Jiang Li.
