It is strictly forbidden to pay for the ticket after getting on the bus

After the screams, the night returned to dead silence again.

The sound was too creepy, and screaming was not a good thing to hear at this time and in this place.

But it would be too risky to go out to investigate, Bai Jue glanced at Bai Luochuan who was bowing his head in thought, his eyes darkened.

He felt a little blocked, he knew that this was probably not the first time Bai Luochuan had encountered this kind of situation, this person had already experienced a similar platform before he got on the train.

Such a horrible, dangerous place like this.

It's also a place he can't see.

Perhaps Bai Luochuan had already shed blood, broken bones, escaped his life, and experienced life and death with others before he knew it.

And he was just an outsider.

An uninformed outsider.

This realization made Bai Jue very uncomfortable.

The atmosphere inside the house was at a stalemate, when another voice suddenly came from outside the house.

It sounds like the sound of beating clappers in the old days, but the rhythm of beating at this time is one slow and two fast.

"Boom—boom! Boom!"

Bai Jue silently counted the sound of clappers, and murmured: "It's time..."

Zishi means that when the cloudy energy is at its peak, staying outside is afraid that something will happen.

Making up his mind, he walked slowly towards the counter, carefully staring at the old man behind the counter: "We're staying at the store."

The old man's fingers were already blue in color, but he didn't delay his movements. He quickly threw two wooden plaques on the table, on which were written "Tianzi No. [-]" and "Tianzi No. [-]" in red paint. , which should be the room name.

Bai Jue didn't hesitate, picked up the wooden sign and signaled to Bai Luochuan, then walked upstairs.

And the old man behind the counter didn't speak again from the beginning to the end, looking at them with a pair of cloudy eyes, like the eyes of a dead fish, which made people feel sick for a while.

When the four of them walked up the stairs, Lin Jiu couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice, "Someone seemed to be screaming outside just now, why don't we go and take a look?"

Looking at this kind-hearted young man, Si Qi sighed, and said: "Did you hear the sound of the clapper just now? It's probably about midnight now. This place is very weird. Going out at this time...I'm afraid We can’t protect ourselves, let’s leave others alone.”

After hearing this, Bai Jue looked at her in surprise.

Si Qi looked back seriously: what?Fascinated by sister's serious look?

Bai Jue calmly withdrew his gaze.

Bai Luochuan on the side watched the two of them flirt, sniffed, and snorted softly, in exchange for Bai Jue's strange gaze.

Si Qi patted Lin Jiu on the back, and said in a seasoned tone: "Xiao Lin, curiosity can sometimes bring clues, but sometimes it can also kill the cat. It depends on the time and occasion."

Lin Jiu smiled weakly, but didn't have much reaction: "That's the reason, I didn't realize it for a while, so you should just pretend that I was stunned before."

"What does it mean to treat you as if you were stunned? You were already stunned, maybe even if you weren't scared, you would still be stunned." Si Qi said solemnly.

"...All right," Lin Jiu said helplessly, why did he feel that he was being molested, and quickly changed the subject, "Can you still understand the time represented by the clapper's rhythm?"

"Well, I saw it in a book before." Si Qi explained simply.

The stairs are not long, and it takes only a few words to walk up.

There are not more than two guest rooms on the second floor, and the doors are all closed. Tianzi No. [-] room and Tianzi No. [-] room are next to each other.

Si Qi has great eyesight. After forming a team with Bai Luochuan last time, she knew that he was a little pervert who was not easy to mess with.

And this time the new Bai Jue, although still a little mysterious, but a woman's sixth sense tells her that this is also a ruthless character, and it is better to be less contaminated.

As for the weird undercurrent between the two of them...she'd seen it on the train!

Don't be too straightforward with that look, okay?She is not blind!

Now there is a little white rabbit named Lin Jiu. Si Qi is one of the 1 people who don't want to live with those two people. She took a card and quickly grabbed Lin Jiu: "I will live with him!"

Lin Jiu had some complaints about living in the same room with Si Qi, and he dared not speak up. In the end, Si Qi carried him into Tianzi No. [-] room like a pole.

The remaining Tianzi No. [-] room is reserved for Bai Jue and Bai Luochuan.

The two entered the room relatively silently, and they were in the same room again after breaking up, feeling a little complicated.

"What's the meaning of this big carved bed?" Bai Luochuan stood in the room with a helpless face.

The room is a bit small, there is only a square table, a cabinet and... an old-fashioned mahogany bed.

Old, but clean.

"You can't expect this kind of inn to be furnished as a hotel-style standard room..." Bai Jue looked calm, "Go to sleep."

Unexpectedly, after Bai Luochuan complained at the beginning, he began to touch the dark red carved wood on the bed with great interest, fingernails, and even sniffed it.

Bai Jue couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you? You still look at the bed and ask everything!"

"This place is so weird, I wonder if it was painted with blood..." Bai Luochuan turned his head and was stunned suddenly, his tone was nostalgic, "Oh, you actually laughed, I haven't seen you laugh for a long time , I used to always have a cold face."

"Uh..." Bai Jue looked around a few times to cover up, "Even if it's painted with blood, you won't be able to smell it after a long time."

After speaking, he fell silent.

Bai Jue suddenly realized that he hadn't experienced happiness for a long time.

What Bai Luochuan said was wrong. Although he used to have a cold face from time to time, when he was with Bai Luochuan, he was always in a good mood. He clearly smiled many times where Bai Luochuan didn't notice.

Until Bai Luochuan broke up with him, and then disappeared cleanly from his life...

It was hard for him to laugh anymore.

But after so many days and nights, in such a treacherous and unpredictable place, he could not see clearly whether the road ahead was life or death, but he felt a long-lost relief.

Bai Luochuan put down his hand touching the bed, smiled indifferently, and suddenly thought of something, and his mood fell down: "I didn't expect to meet you here."

He couldn't forget the shock, panic, heartache when he saw Bai Jue again on the train, and the excitement in his heart that he tried his best to ignore.

Trembling with excitement.

Bai Jue was silent for two seconds, feeling a little at a loss in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it: "What kind of person can get on this train?"

Bai Luochuan looked at him steadfastly, and said, "Try hard to live, after surviving this platform, you will probably understand in your heart, otherwise it will be useless to explain more now."

Bai Jue looked back at him, and suddenly smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes as usual.

"Since you understand the truth of trying to live, why did you rush to the train to save people before?"

God knows that when he watched Bai Luochuan disappear at the door of the carriage, his heart almost jumped out.

"Don't do this in the future." Bai Jue said flatly, and added, "It doesn't matter who it is to save."

It's not to save a little image in your mind!Bai Luochuan slandered, and sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and... I have something to protect my body, which can withstand it for a while."

"What is it?" Bai Jue was curious.

"Secret, you will know in the future." Bai Luochuan smiled innocently at him, but did not directly say the answer.

Because the way this protective thing appeared was quite weird, he didn't want to scare him in the middle of the night.

Even though this day's experience was bizarre and tortuous enough, and consumed a lot of mental energy, Bai Jue still didn't fall asleep in such a strange and unknown world.

Especially when my first love is still lying beside me.

When Bai Jue lay down, he squinted for a while, half asleep and half awake, the sound of clappers on the street outside the house woke him up again.

The moment I woke up, I felt a chill.

He lay there without moving. People who have lived in the city for a long time are almost not used to such a silent night.

They were afraid that something would be difficult to deal with at night, but they dared not sleep with a lamp on. Fortunately, the moonlight was good tonight, and the cold moonlight shone in through the paper window, casting a soft light filter on the room. The mirror is not so dark.

Bai Jue turned on his side, the person lying beside him was very quiet, sleeping in a good state.

Looking at Bai Luochuan's quietly drying half of his face exposed outside the quilt, and hearing his even breathing, he felt a little resentful.

Can actually fall asleep!

Still sleeping so soundly!

It was exactly the same as before, unshakeable, and had a serious urge to get up, and every time I had to entangle him in the quilt for a few times before I would get up.

The moonlight enveloped Bai Luochuan's side face, like another moon, as bright and clean as jade, Bai Jue stared at it in a daze.

His fingers were placed on the pillow a few centimeters away from that face, but he didn't take a step closer.

Bai Jue looked at that person stubbornly, and spoke softly, his voice was like smoke, drifting with the wind, even though he knew he couldn't hear the echo, he still said those words seriously.

He silently read a few words for four years.

"I miss you."

The night was as cool as water, and the room was silent.

Bai Jue sighed contentedly and closed his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes for a while again, and the sound of the clapper came for the third time in the dark night.

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

It's five o'clock.

Bai Jue calculated silently in his heart, it is now the twelfth lunar month, and there are still three or four hours before dawn.

Just thinking about it, a sense of crisis suddenly arises spontaneously, the hairs all over the body stand on end, and the body froze for a moment, motionless.

There were light footsteps in the corridor outside the house.

There is only one quilt in the room, the same bed they built.

Bai Jue's hand touched Bai Luochuan's hand as he groped through the quilt.

He took that wrist lightly, and squeezed it.

Fortunately, Bai Luochuan wasn't as nervous as he used to be outside, and he woke up instantly.

The moment he opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, as if he hadn't reacted to the fact that there was a person lying beside him.

There was a tinge of sullenness in the eyes.

After a few seconds, he regained consciousness a little, remembered where he was, and asked Bai Jue with his eyes.

Bai Jue turned his head towards the door.

The building structure of the entire inn is made of wood, and no matter how small the movement is, there will be subtle sounds. In addition to such a quiet night and such tense nerves, the sound is like playing with a loudspeaker next to your ears. .

The hair is creepy.

"Snapped--"

The sound rang in the next second.

Compared to the slight sound of footsteps, this time it was like a bolt from the blue, waking up everyone in the inn.

"Crack-crack-crack-"

What followed was a series of crackling sounds, as if the whole piece of porcelain had been smashed into pieces forcefully. The pieces of the porcelain were scattered all over the ground, and the startled screams from other rooms could be faintly heard.

The non-stop smashing sound seemed to hit everyone's heart, which made people feel chills all over.

The broken sound came from far and near.

Bai Jue and Bai Luochuan sat up quickly, Bai Jue touched the pocket of his trousers, the cold feeling inside gave him a faint sense of security.

He stared at the door of the room, without blinking.

Below the door of the room here is long wood, and a little bit above is the same design as the window - paper is pasted on the wooden frame.

So if someone is standing outside, they can see a clear figure through the moonlight.

The footsteps were getting closer and stopped abruptly at their door.

A chilly breath seemed to be able to permeate the door frame and come in, wrapping around the bones. It felt like falling into a cold pool of stagnant water that had been abandoned for a long time.

Cold, damp, foul smelling.

However, Bai Jue's eyes turned red and he didn't see anyone.

At this time, there was the sound of something made of porcelain banging on the door outside their door.

"Crack—crash—"

The sound of debris falling to the ground.

Bai Jue squinted his eyes sharply. Their Tianzi No. [-] room was at the innermost part of the corridor, and there were no other rooms further on.

After dropping the last room, what should we do next?

Bai Luochuan next to him seemed a little uncomfortable with the cold temperature brought by the thing outside the door, his body felt chilly, and he frowned slightly, and leaned closer to Bai Jue.

Bai Jue hesitated for a moment, then lightly shook Bai Luochuan's hand, which was cold to the touch.

Bai Jue turned his head to look at him, the latter had just woken up, his clothes were messy and he didn't have time to tidy them up, and there was still a dull hair sticking out of his head.

It looks extra soft.

The corners of Bai Jue's mouth raised up without a trace, and he said softly, "Don't be afraid."

He took out his hand from his trouser pocket, and in his hand was an unremarkable knife—a table knife from the train restaurant.

Although the lethality is not great, it should be able to resist for a while in case of trouble.

Bai Luochuan also saw it, so he pouted at him and mouthed: I guessed it a long time ago!

The episode didn't take much time, after waiting for a while, the sound of things falling outside the house stopped, Bai Jue clenched the knife in his hand and held his breath.

There was no movement outside the house.

A few seconds later, footsteps sounded again, from near to far, leaving their room door.

Hearing the footsteps, Bai Jue felt that something was wrong no matter what he heard, he felt a little...staggering?

Some hair in my heart.

WTF?
