The Midnight Owl

The mind that had settled down a little bit just because of the save file caused the strange light particles in this room to disturb again.

The friends were all observing carefully, but Chi Yingxue raised her hand without hesitation and grabbed it.

His movement scared Qian Ai next to him: "Hey, what are you grabbing, what if it explodes—"

Chi Yingxue frowned because of his noise: "Instead of looking around, it's better to grab a few and torture them."

Xu Wang looked at the two teammates speechlessly, not knowing whether to complain about "explosion" or "torture".

"Did you catch it?" Kuang Jinxin looked at Chi Yingxue's clenched hand very seriously.

Chi Yingxue spread out her palms, and there were really some light particles.

"Can you catch it?!" Kuang Jinxin didn't expect it, and immediately reached out to touch it.

But as soon as his hand passed, those light particles drifted away.He tried to grab like Chi Yingxue again, and he could grab some, but the strange thing was that he didn't feel it in his palm, just like grabbing a handful of air.

Qian Ai waved his arm anxiously, as expected, those light particles would move along with his movements, without any rules, as if blown away by the air current, and he could clearly see that his arm touched the light particles visually, Tactilely, there is nothing.

"What the hell is this?" Qian Ai was so confused that he wanted to scratch his head.

"Dust? Air?" Kuang Jinxin could only think of these.

Qian Ai's black line: "Are you sure you can find your heart with these two things you said?"

Xu Wang sighed, his teammates caught the point.If they can't pierce the ghost's heart, then it's themselves who pierce the heart.

Wu Sheng looked at those light particles that were either still or slightly wandering, thoughtfully.

"Crack, click, click..."

There was a strange sound from the wall on the left, as if something was digging at the wall.

The five of them were excited, and immediately turned their heads to look.

It's the TV hanging on the wall, vibrating desperately...

"careful!"

Qian Ai was well-informed, and he knew what he was going to suffer when he saw the situation, so he immediately stretched out his hands and threw down the two nearest partners - Chi Yingxue and Kuang Jinxin.

At the same time as he reminded, Wu Sheng also grabbed Xu Wang and fell down.

At the moment when the five people fell down, the TV abruptly fell off the wall and hit them heavily.

The five partners who had fallen to the ground hurriedly rolled to both sides, and the TV finally hit the place where they had fallen, and exploded with a "bang".

Even if it was just a small explosion, it was quite powerful in a not-so-spacious living room. The five partners tried their best to protect their heads, but their bodies were still hit by the flying fragments, causing burning pain.

Enduring the pain, Xu Wang clicked on <[Anti] Invisible Iron Barrel Formation> amidst the rising dust in the room.Unexpectedly, just as he established contact with the armor, he heard a crisp "clang".

He raised his head slightly in the dust, looked around, and saw a cross blade that looked like a blender, flicked to the ground next to Wu Sheng.

At the moment when he looked over, the blade suddenly rose again, spinning rapidly and rushing towards Wu Sheng again.

Wu Sheng had also seen it, but he didn't move, as if he completely trusted Xu Wang's defense, he just stared at the blade's body, the inexplicably concentrated light particles, his eyes showed thoughtfulness.

Xu Wang was concentrating, not daring to guard against the slightest slack.

The blade hit the invisible but densely packed iron barrels again, and landed slumped to the ground.

Xu Wang's heart jumped into his throat, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Qian Ai, Chi Yingxue, and Kuang Jinxin also saw the blade at this time, but before they could think about it, another kitchen knife flew out of the kitchen and came straight to them with "enthusiasm".

"Damn—" Although there was the captain's defense, Qian Ai's scalp still felt numb, and he immediately clicked off his <[Defense] Monolith>.

Before hitting the invisible iron bucket, the kitchen knife hit the iron plate that was thrown out of the sky first, bounced and hit the wall, and the blade was deeply embedded in the wall.

In the next half an hour, the friends ushered in wave after wave of attacks, and their armor was broken and broken. Fortunately, they were able to make up new ones in time.

These attacks include furniture, electrical appliances, kitchen supplies, daily hardware, etc., as long as there is something in the house that can cause lethality, they all greet the five people.

Friends, you can defend against it, but it also requires mental and physical strength to control the armor, especially such a long-term and high-intensity control.After a stalemate for half an hour, no one could hold their breath.

More importantly, this did not change their passive situation.They did defend successfully, but it was equivalent to being trapped in the defensive circle. The ghosts couldn't do anything to them, and they couldn't catch the ghosts either.

"I can't go on like this," Qian Ai panted heavily, a little anxious, "If we run out of armor later, we really have no chance of winning."

Kuang Jinxin looked at the "attack objects" scattered around the defensive circle, and suddenly said: "Captain, Brother Sheng, do you feel that when these objects are thrown, there are more light particles around them than other places?"

Xu Wang frowned: "These light particles are ghosts, these things were thrown by ghosts, so the light particles around them are normal, the problem now is..."

"How do you force this ghost out?" Wu Sheng said in a deep voice.

Qian Ai looked at the light particles around him, confused: "Isn't this already out? It's all there, just look around."

Chi Yingxue glanced at him indifferently: "It is to force out a shape that can see the heart."

"..." Qian Ai swore, he saw the dislike in the eyes of his teammates, and immediately glanced over sadly, "Xiaoxue, I found that you have talked a lot recently, and you are not as cute as before..."

Chi Yingxue: "..."

Kuang Jinxin looked at Chi Yingxue's expression of indescribable depression, and felt a little distressed and a little bit happy.

Xu Wang smiled.In a sense, Qian Ai, who has opened his heart to accept Xiaoxue, is slowly figuring out a "road to Xue's nemesis".

He was only distracted listening to such a sentence in the team chat, and before he could take back his slight smile, Xu Wang suddenly felt an invisible hand strangling his neck, and he couldn't breathe for a moment!

With a stiff smile on his face, Xu Wang couldn't make a sound, so he could only reach out to grab it, and in an instant he scratched bloodstains on his neck.

"Xu Wang!" Wu Sheng noticed something strange, and his expression changed instantly.

During the half-hour offensive and defensive battle, Rao Wu Sheng did not consciously enter into a kind of combat inertia. He did not expect that the ghost would change its attack method at this time!

Xu Wang raised his head, opened his mouth wide, desperately trying to breathe, but he couldn't take a breath of air.He wanted to raise his hand to grab his neck again, but before he touched it, Wu Sheng grabbed his hand firmly.

Kuang Jinxin, Qian Ai, and Chi Yingxue had already seen clearly at this moment, a ball of light was tightly wrapped around his neck like a ribbon.

The iron barrel array and the iron plate can defend against objects, but they can't defend against tiny light particles. They always thought that light particles must drive objects to attack. Obviously wrong, light particles can attack by themselves.

But when Xu Wang wanted to tear off the "ribbon of light particles", the light particles began to wander, and only followed the "ribbon of light".

"Help me, don't let him hurt me!" Wu Sheng handed Xu Wang over to his three companions, and then quickly got up, not caring about putting any more armor on his body, and rushed out of the defensive circle, and went straight to the kitchen!

Most of the attacks just now came from the kitchen. He has been thinking that the source or some kind of key of the ghost lies in the kitchen. Wang was attacked.

As Wu Sheng's figure disappeared, there was a burst of noise in the kitchen, and within two seconds, the noise stopped, and the light particles in the room disappeared in an instant.

They appeared quietly, and disappeared without a sound.

The whole house returned to darkness, without light particles, and without small lanterns, it was completely dark.

At the same time, Xu Wang felt his neck relax, and he immediately took a big breath, greedily absorbing the oxygen for the rest of his life.

Wu Sheng immediately ran back to the living room, found Xu Wang accurately in the dark, and asked eagerly, "How is it?"

"It's okay..." Xu Wang opened his mouth, only to realize that he was very dumb.

Wu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his mind settled down.

After a while, he remembered to take the flashlight, and when the light of the flashlight illuminated the living room, he said, "It's the electric charge."

Qian Ai stared blankly at his military adviser in the light of the flashlight: "Huh?"

Xu Wang tried his best to digest and absorb it, but it was really difficult: "You mean... this ghost?"

"Well." Wu Sheng said, "I've been thinking about what these light particles are, and now I finally figured it out. They are very similar to the free charges that exist in the air. These charges are usually invisible to us, and we can't feel them. , but when they are gathered together in an orderly manner, their power is incalculable..."

Xu Wang: "You mean, this ghost is possessed by these free electric charges?"

Wu Sheng shook his head: "No, it's the charge itself."

Kuang Jinxin: "But Brother Sheng, didn't you say that these electric charges already exist in the air?"

Wu Sheng: "The electric charges that existed in the beginning still exist now, but they will not appear under the 'nothing to hide' from the beginning to the end, but anything that can be seen by us with magic tools is a ghost."

Hearing this, Xu Wang probably understood that if the charge that existed in the air was the first layer of charge, then the charge that the ghost decomposed into was the second layer of charge. The "room full of light particles" they saw , and the "light particles" around the object that attacked them, and the "light particles" around his neck, are all this second layer of charge, that is, this ghost.

"So, Brother Sheng, what did you do in the kitchen just now?" Kuang Jinxin knew that the sudden disappearance of the light particles must have something to do with his military adviser.

Wu Sheng didn't hold back, and said bluntly: "Pull the switch."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Xu Wang: "..."

Chi Yingxue: "..."

Qian Ai: "It's that...simple and rude?"

Wu Sheng took another look at Xu Wang's neck by the light of the flashlight, and after making sure that there was nothing serious, he continued: "I've been wondering since I entered this house, why no one has lived in it for so long, and there is still electricity and lights on. , this doesn’t match the atmosphere of the haunted house. It wasn’t until I began to suspect that those light particles were electric charges that I connected the two…”

"Since the attack principle of this ghost is scientific to a certain extent, whether it is really scientific or not, its existence principle must conform to the basic scientific logic. It cannot exist out of thin air, and then continue to attack us indefinitely. , there must be..."

"Energy source!" Kuang Jinxin, who is closest to the university classroom, is very comfortable with this kind of guiding and inspiring explanation.

"Well," Wu Sheng nodded reassuringly, "so this house must have electricity, because electricity itself is the support for the existence of this ghost. It can be current, electric charge, concentration, or dissociation. As long as there is electricity, it can exist."

Qian Ai stunned the entire Wu Junshi's small classroom, and at the end of this sentence, after understanding it, he immediately worried about the ghost again: "Then we pull the switch, it won't be wiped out, right?"

"No," Wu Sheng pondered for a moment, then added two more words, "Should."

Qian Ai: "Can you take some responsibility for the ghost..."

The ghost is temporarily restrained, no matter whether it can be "resurrected" or not, at least it is indeed unable to attack at this stage.

The friends who had been exhausted from tossing decided to take advantage of the "intermission" to search the ceiling to see if any badges had fallen.

But before searching, Wu Sheng asked Kuang Jinxin to go to the kitchen to guard the switch, in case the second ghost had some kind of power that they hadn't considered, and then secretly pushed the switch back. Was caught off guard.

Kuang Jinxin got the order, and immediately rushed to the kitchen, but Chi Yingxue threw a sentence, "Isn't it impossible to act alone?", consciously followed, and insisted on turning one person into a two-person team.

Wu Sheng thought about it, and it was true that the two of them were safer, so he didn't say much.

But when Xu Wang was watching the switchboard duo off, he smelled a faint smell of blood. He lowered his head and searched around, and found that it was Wu Sheng's arm, which had been cut open with a long length.

He remembered the noise when Wu Sheng went to the kitchen before, and then he realized that he also experienced a fierce battle in the short few seconds when the switch was pulled off.

Realizing Xu Wang's gaze, Wu Sheng quickly shook his arm: "It's okay."

"It will be too late when something happens," Xu Wang said, "Didn't you bring a medicine kit, pack it quickly."

"Too much time-consuming." Wu Sheng said, "Xiaoxue didn't make a sound after being burned so badly, and this is even a minor injury for me."

"He just wanted Xiao Kuang to remember his favor for a while longer." Xu Wang didn't understand at the time, but later his brain came to understand, and he rushed to Chi Yingxue to protect Kuang Jinxin, and he definitely hoped that the other party would be [-]% Appreciate, "What's the matter? You also want to make me feel bad?"

Wu Sheng was stunned, then laughed: "Does it hurt?"

Xu Wang gritted his teeth: "It hurts, it's dead."

Here Wu Junshi was satisfied and asked the captain to bandage, while Qian Ai's head was buzzing over there——

Was he fed a mouthful of dog food?

Xiaoxue wants to recover naturally, isn't it a health regimen?

Why did Xiaoxue make Xiaokuang owe him favors?

Xiaoxue seems to have changed a bit recently?

Is Xiaoxue interested in live streaming?

The last live broadcast was very successful, do you want to pull him to take over again to attract fans?

Let’s eat Jiangxi cuisine this time, what’s delicious in Jiangxi...

Until he started to search the ceiling, Qian Ai didn't have any teammates in his head, only food left.

……

Kitchen, in front of the electric switch.

Wu Sheng asked Kuang Jinxin to come over and watch, and Kuang Jinxin was really watching. He stood motionless in front of the switch, even blinking as little as possible, and just stared at it seriously. If there is heat in his eyes, the switch is already on fire.

Chi Yingxue stood with him for 15 minutes, and was "silenced" for 15 minutes.

Chi Yingxue liked the fact that Jing Jing was with Kuang Jinxin, but it would be even better if she could talk.

He wanted to talk to Kuang Jinxin, but from the last level to this level, they didn't say a few words.He contributed half a bottle of mint water in the last level, and he contributed his entire back in this level, but he didn't get what he really wanted.

But what exactly does he want?I can't even tell myself.

Before, he thought he just wanted Kuang Jinxin to smile at himself, but when he caught the first ghost and Kuang Jinxin smiled at him, he felt that it was not enough.At that moment, I was happy in my heart, but when the joy was over, I was empty again.

Chi Yingxue looked at Kuang Jinxin's side face, and felt a little sulky as she looked at it. She didn't know whether it was her own or the other's.

Despite this, he still firmly remembered his brother's teaching "If you make him feel comfortable, he is yours."How to make Kuang Jinxin comfortable, Chi Yingxue still didn't know, but her speech was not pleasant, it definitely belonged to the category of "uncomfortable".

With this level of awareness, when Chi Yingxue really spoke, it was rare to choose a "good listening" entry point: "You pulled the cloak of the archive NPC just now, and you pulled it quite decently."

The teammate who had been quiet all this time suddenly made a sound, which startled Kuang Jinxin. After hearing the content of the words, he looked at Chi Yingxue with a little more scrutiny.

The kitchen window was right next to the two of them, and the moonlight shining in made everything clear and clear.

Chi Yingxue was looked at a little awkwardly, and the tone that had just worked hard to raise the temperature dropped back to the slightly cool Chi's temperature: "What are you looking at?"

Kuang Jinxin said honestly: "See if you really praise me."

The unexpected answer made Chi Yingxue slightly frown: "Since when have you been on guard?"

Kuang Jinxin lowered his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

It was only then that Chi Yingxue remembered that she had said the other party's "hypocrisy" earlier.In fact, he forgot after he finished speaking, so when he said good things again, he didn't feel that he couldn't connect at all.

"Last time..." Chi Yingxue inexplicably wanted to explain, but got stuck after starting.

This kind of explaining and making up after the fact is too strange to him.

Unexpectedly, it was Kuang Jinxin who spoke: "You were right last time."

Chi Yingxue was stunned.

Kuang Jinxin didn't look at him, but looked at the switch again, as if staring at it seriously, but his eyes were a little wandering, and his voice was a little low: "I thought about it later, everyone has their own personality and habits, and has their own life and way of life. , In fact, I have no right to use what I think is right to persuade or even judge others..."

"Last time I said you were lonely, I'm sorry." Kuang Jinxin's last sentence suddenly became lighter, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

But Chi Yingxue heard it clearly.

It was because he could hear clearly that he felt even more bored, making him very uncomfortable.

He was angry last time, and when he was angry, he couldn't see other people's comfort, but he didn't expect that Jin Xin knew all about this.

What's more, he didn't expect that the other party would apologize to him.

Kuang Jinxin seemed to be able to figure out his every mood swing, but on the other hand, he had no idea what Kuang Jinxin was thinking, which made him a little flustered.

He had never wanted to grab someone like this before, but the harder he tried, the worse the effect became.

The nonsense that Chi Zhuolin said made him dizzy, and he didn't want to guess.

"Little Sijin." In the quiet moonlight, Chi Yingxue said faintly.

The tone was so familiar and friendly that Kuang Jinxin unconsciously turned his head to look at him: "Huh?"

Chi Yingxue stared at him fixedly: "How can I make you feel comfortable?"

Kuang Jinxin: "...what?"

Chi Yingxue: "How do you want others to treat you, so that you are comfortable?"

Kuang Jinxin was a little dazed by this miraculous question, and after a long time of understanding and thinking, he reluctantly gave a responsible answer: "Be honest, what do you say..."

"That's it?" Chi Yingxue was ready to go to heaven and earth, but the answer was unexpectedly... simple.

Kuang Jinxin seemed amused by his expression, and nodded vigorously again: "That's it." After finishing speaking, he quietly looked at Chi Yingxue for a while, "Actually, you have this in you."

"Me?" Chi Yingxue narrowed her eyes suspiciously, obviously not as confident in her character as her appearance.

Kuang Jinxin said: "Well, if you are happy, you are happy, and if you are unhappy, you are not happy. You don't bother to lie to achieve your purpose..."

"But I never tell the whole truth." Chi Yingxue shrugged and interrupted him, "I only tell the truth that others don't like, and they will be happy when they hear it, so I don't say anything."

Kuang Jinxin was stunned, confused: "Why?"

Chi Yingxue looked proud: "I like to see people angry."

Kuang Jinxin couldn't laugh or cry: "What kind of hobby are you..."

"But I want to see you happy." Chi Yingxue's voice was as soft as moonlight.
