The quiet night was broken in an instant.
Screams, running, whimpering, weird laughter... they stirred up the calm sea surface like a surging wave.
Baili Xin lifted the curtain and looked outside. Even though it was such a mess, the entire museum was still pitch black and there was no sign of lights on.
Leaning his head through the curtain, he could vaguely see a white scarecrow glowing with white light floating ghostly in the air.
One empty sleeve on one side twisted into a strange shape in the air, and the other cold hand held a white sickle that shone coldly.
Add to that the wooden stakes in its lower body, its two-meter-tall body, and its frantic shape. Even if it doesn't kill anyone, the visual impact the moment it appears is absolutely thrilling.
There are three such stimulations.
Three monsters.
The white scarecrow is responsible for the lighting effects, the black scarecrow is responsible for the horror atmosphere, and the black-haired little monster is responsible for the background sound.
The three-pronged approach scared everyone and made them scream.
The other players following behind Baili Xin had just sneaked into the central garden on the first floor. Before they could gain a firm foothold, the sudden sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling made them all alert.
Several heads swayed in circles, looking at each other.
"what's the situation?"
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, tempered by the escape game for a long time, and each of them has a heart of steel. Their mentality is no longer the same as that of ordinary people.
Ordinary people would only feel scared when hearing this sound, but these people became excited after hearing it and became eager to try.
"Isn't that the sound of seeing a ghost?"
"We've been here for three nights with no progress. Could it be that Baili Xin discovered something supernatural as soon as he arrived?"
"He's so lucky!"
"Based on my understanding of Baili Xin, bad luck seems to be his label. He also got his own 'bad luck' buff?"
"God of beauty? Because he's very good-looking?"
"What goddess of beauty? It's bad luck! Bad luck!"
"You have to be unlucky to encounter supernatural events, and only when you encounter supernatural events can the plot be triggered, and only when the plot is triggered can you pass the level. It seems that you have bad luck, but in fact your luck is extremely good."
"Stop talking, it's noisy." The leading man looked around and said, "Be quiet."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone shut up.
The man had his hair up, and his young face had a cold and domineering look that did not belong to his age group.
He walked out of the hidden darkness and took out a transparent glass ball the size of two palms from his backpack.
The glass ball lit up, and the scene inside the museum appeared.
The picture kept drifting, and people came closer, gradually seeing clearly what was happening inside the museum.
Seeing three monsters they had never seen before, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
The image in the glass ball continued to change, leaving the monster chasing the crowd and coming to Baili Xin and the other two hiding in the corner.
The young man in the lead had his eyes light up, "We found Baili Xin!"
"Let's not move yet. Let's wait until Baili Xin completely solves the case."
Someone whispered, "Commander Song, why did the Shentian Guild want to kill Baili Xin? After entering the game instance, you can't harm the player. Now that Baili Xin has been released from prison, our plan to assassinate him in this instance has failed. There is no need to hide anymore, right?"
Young man: "Do you think that if you go out now, Baili Xin will take you with him? He has been locked up in prison for so many days, he must not know who made him stay there? Do you think he is a saint who will forgive the past and tell you the answer?"
Someone else murmured quietly, "He doesn't look like such a mean person. I've watched his live broadcasts before, and he's quite upright, otherwise he wouldn't be so popular. If we take the initiative to apologize, he might forgive us and take us out of this instance. Why do we have to hide like this?"
Someone else echoed: "That's right, it's not too late to apologize now. If it can help, he probably won't be angry anymore."
"You're afraid that he'll get angry and not take you out, but are you afraid that Shentian Guild will blacklist you in the future?" The young man's words carried a hint of threat. "The president said that Baili Xin's allies are Shentian Guild's enemies. Whoever shows goodwill to Baili Xin will have to pay the corresponding price."
The people around him suddenly stopped talking.
The young man continued in a slow tone, "You have all been deceived by Baili Xin. He is not such a good person at all. That was just his disguise. The real him is vindictive and ruthless. He is ambitious and wants to destroy the current stable game environment. Haven't you noticed that all the dungeons he has downloaded have been wiped out and all have been blocked. If we indulge him like this, where will we get points if there are no more dungeons to download? Without points and performance points, how can we complete the game progress and leave here? He wants to trap us all in the game world."
"It is because our president discovered his conspiracy that he is hunting him down despite the infamy. Shentian Guild is for the benefit of all humans in the game, otherwise why would we do such a thankless task? What you are doing now will be remembered by history."
"Don't be bewitched by him."
"The Shentian Guild has been around for so long, and its prestige is there. As long as you cooperate with us, the Shentian Guild will not treat you unfairly."
Everyone looked at each other, and one person asked tentatively, "What if we don't go out and bow our heads now, and Baili Xin doesn't tell us the answer?"
The young man patted the glass ball in his hand and said, "What is this prop of mine for? It can monitor everything that happens within a radius of 10,000 meters. As long as we keep an eye on Baili Xin, how can we worry about not finding the answer?"
After these words, the crowd, who were in a panic because there was little time left in the game, finally relaxed a little.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Song."
There are eight people here, and the only one who belongs to the Shentian Guild is the young man at the head. The remaining seven are allies who later formed an alliance with the Shentian Guild.
In addition, this young man looks young but is very strong, and all their actions are carried out under the command of this man.
Everything was fine at the beginning. Everyone tacitly framed Baili Xin and sent him to prison.
But problems arose in the search for clues later on. The collaborative efforts of eight people lasted for more than three days, but there was no progress.
With the fourth day only a few hours away from ending, how could they not be anxious
They were the ones who sent the man to prison, and now seeing that he can't get through, they turn around and try to take advantage of Baili Xin, and they do so with a clear conscience.

The people in the live broadcast room were itching to watch.
Bah, so shameless. When they hurt others, they sent them to the dark room without saying a word, and now they start sucking blood. Do they think they are particularly good-looking
I think that none of them combined is as pretty as a single hair of God Xin.
I reiterate my opinion. You are right.
Ugliness brings trouble.
____________________
Baili Xin looked up and around in confusion.
He had a feeling that he was being spied on since the beginning. Thinking about what the guards had said just now about always feeling like they were being watched, he wondered if there was some supernatural force here that he didn't know about, secretly observing them.
The voice of s419m sounded in Baili Xin's mind at this time: Master Host, I detect that someone is observing you.
Baili Xin: People
s419m: Not here, it seems some kind of props were used, but it is not too far from here, there are energy fluctuations.
Baili Xin: I felt like I was being watched from the beginning.
s419m: That makes sense, it should be the energy fluctuation I detected.
Baili Xin frowned slightly: How many ability fluctuations did you detect
s419m：Ah, one.
Baili Xin: It seems like more than that, I always feel like the sights are coming from several directions.
s419m was also puzzled: Are there other sights that I haven’t noticed
Baili Xin didn't know what it was exactly: "But the energy fluctuation you detected was most likely from those eight players. It seems that they don't plan to come in, but to sit back and reap the benefits."
s419m: If you are so shameless, why not let the black and white scarecrow kill them? I have studied the item [Relic of the God of Doom] with Tongmei privately. Because it is an item obtained from the crack space that does not belong to the game world, the official does not recognize the existence of this item. Even if you use this item, it will not be bound to you. So if the black and white scarecrow kills the player, it will not implicate you.
Baili Xin thought for two seconds: Wait a little longer.
s419m was a little confused:
Wait, has the host become a saint? Others are trying to kill him, but he wants to let them go
The next second, it heard Baili Xin say lightly in its mind: It would be difficult for the black and white scarecrow to deal with the eight players. If he fails to kill them, he may be killed in return.
s419m:
The host is so cruel, and it loves him so much.
Ghana was still in a coma. Lin Xiao woke him up. Ghana's first reaction after waking up was to grab Baili Xin and run for his life.
Just as he took a step forward, he suddenly remembered the black feather that Baili Xin had broken before he fell into a coma, and Ghana's steps suddenly stopped again.
Just now… It seemed that just as Baili Xin was broken by the feather, those monsters appeared.
So, these monsters were actually created by Baili Xin
Is this what he meant by “creating supernatural things” today
In an instant, Garner hurriedly let go of Baili Xin's hand and stumbled back two steps, looking at the handsome young man in fear: "You, you you, I, I, it, they..."
After stuttering for a long time, he finally uttered a complete sentence: "Did you create these monsters?"
There were still fragments of black feathers on the ground. Baili Xin looked outside the curtain and casually responded and asked, "Why hasn't the museum turned on the lights in this situation?"
Garner: "Don't you know? The power goes out in the museum after five o'clock."
Baili Xin thought thoughtfully: "So the elevator was not usable from the beginning."
Garner: "Yeah, the lights, the elevators, etc., all don't work."
Baili Xin: "It seems that if I ask you the reason for the power outage, you probably won't know?"
Hearing the guards' screams one after another, Ghana swallowed silently as he looked at the beauty opposite him.
She was still a beauty, but for some reason, she exuded a terrifying aura tonight.
Garner couldn't help but think of the night he had spent in the tunnel with Baili Xin.
At that time, Baili Xin stood in front of a group of evil spirits without any fear, and with a wave of his sword, he cut off the monsters' broken arms and limbs.
Only then did Ghana suddenly realize that the beauty in front of him was not a soft dodder that needed protection.
If he used all his strength, Baili Xin might be able to twist the warden's head off.
Ghana shuddered and thought it would be better not to make Baili Xin unhappy.
"I know this... really. I heard that it is to express respect for the treasures in the museum. The environment must be absolutely quiet at night. Therefore, the museum will cut off the power at night, and the patrolling guards must also remain quiet and try not to make any noise."
"Of course, this is what we announced to the public." Garner hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell everything he knew. "There is also a rumor that is widely circulated in the circle. It is said that sound and light will awaken the queen's soul sleeping in the museum. In order to appease the queen's soul, the lights are not turned on at night."
Baili Xin remembered the motto in front of the stone statue of the queen on the third floor.
[The Queen's soul lives forever.]
[Flowers adorn the garments, and the sun offers kisses.]
[The great spirits will always defend and protect us.]
The Queen's spirit? Here
s419m: Host, could the other sight you felt be the queen's soul
Baili Xin: I don’t know. I don’t even know if it is the queen’s spirit. It’s just a rumor.
No one knew what the three little monsters did, but the screams outside suddenly became louder.
Hiding in the corner all the time is not a good idea, so Baili Xin and Lin Xiao decided to try the stone statue of the queen on the third floor.
As for Ghana, it followed passively.
Ghana is completely desperate.
He felt that he was completely bored and had nothing better to do than to be a marquis and come here to seek death.
He didn't want to go out at all. He just wanted to be a coward and pray that the guards would never see his face.
Baili Xin's fuss will surely reach the Queen's ears tomorrow, so he can't let himself get ruined.
Ghana crouched down, silently tugged at his collar, and retracted his head into his neck.
There were several guards not far from them.
The guards were seen screaming and stabbing their long hair towards the sky. The black-haired little monsters flying around above their heads swung their tails flexibly in the air, easily entangled the spears together and locked the movements of the guards.
This was not the end yet. The little black-haired monster's huge eyes widened and it let out its skilled weird laugh. As the guards' sanity gradually collapsed, it slowly opened its mouth. From its dark mouth, countless pale hands stretched out one after another and rushed to grab the guards.
The guards shouted, threw away their spears, and fled, leaving their helmets and armor behind.
The little black-haired monster laughed wildly, and all the hair on its body trembled.
The guards brushed past Baili Xin and the other two, without even looking at them, and hurriedly ran towards the stairs.
It followed the guards relentlessly, laughing and shouting as it chased, "Tremble, be afraid, mortals? Remember this name, it will terrify you. This name is... Baili Xin! This is a devil a thousand times more terrifying than me. I get scared just by hearing this name! Are you extremely scared? Hahahaha! Tremble, stupid humans!"
Baili Xin: "..."
Lin Xiao: “…”
Garner's eyes were filled with fear again, and he was shaking slightly as he grabbed Baili Xin's arm. "X, what kind of monster is Baili Xin? Will it come out too?"
Baili Xin: "..."
You're done, little black-haired monster!
Lin Xiao asked a question on behalf of the majority of viewers in the live broadcast room who did not know the truth: "Baili Xin, what evil thing did you do to this monster? It seems to be going crazy."
Baili Xin pinched a strand of bangs with his thumbs and smoothed it awkwardly, "I am a civilized person, how could I do such a thing?"
Lin Xiao: “…”
Are you sure you are a civilized person
The black-haired little monster chased the guard until its eyes turned red. Seeing it passing by him, Baili Xin reached out and pinched the fur on the back of the black-haired monster's forehead and pulled the black-haired monster in front of him.
The excited little black-haired monster was strangled by fate, and instantly became motionless, his whole body limply hanging in the air, and he screamed at the top of his voice: "Let me go, let me go! Who dares to pull the fur of my black-haired master? I will punish you!"
It roared with full force, but its claws flapping in the air seemed to indicate otherwise.
It was not until it saw clearly who was pulling it that the little black-haired monster suddenly stopped moving. It blinked its big, watery black eyes at Baili Xin and said in a soft and cute voice like a three-month-old kitten: "Baili Xin, I hate you~ You are bad~"
Baili Xin: "..."
Garner was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word.
x, is Baili Xin
The Baili Xin who made this horrible monster surrender instantly
Mr. Warden, what kind of monster do you like
Do you have such a strong taste
No, I seem to admire him too.
Baili Xin rubbed the black monster's furry fur and said with a smile: "It's shameful to act cute. You seem to be having a lot of fun."
The black-haired little monster sighed repeatedly and complained: "You don't know, ever since my two fathers were resurrected, the hard times for the three of us have begun. My father Xiaotou forces me to attend nine years of compulsory education every day, and forces me to learn moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor skills. He says he wants to educate me into a knowledgeable and profound monster. I'm almost going crazy."
"I'm fine, but my two brothers are worse off. They killed a lot of people in the cycle, so in order to get rid of their killing instinct, Daddy Xiaotou has to give them sixteen hours of ideological education every day." The black-haired little monster widened his eyes with an exaggerated expression, "There are only twenty-four hours in a day!"
"Thank you for calling us here. The three of us can finally take a breath. I hope you won't send us back too early." The black-haired little monster blinked his big, bulging eyes non-stop, trying to get away with it with his cute appearance. "I'm so cute and well-behaved, you will definitely agree to me, right?"
Baili Xin looked at the black and white scarecrows that were still scaring people in the distance. Although they had no faces, judging from their ups and downs, they seemed to be having a lot of fun. He couldn't help but ask, "Is your brother addicted to killing?"
Murderous by nature.
It's not just a word, it's a state of being.
Some lives are accustomed to this state, and would feel lost if they don't change it.
Xiaotou's approach is correct.
Although the process of quitting was extremely painful, he did his best.
Baili Xin suddenly felt a little relieved, for the current harmony in their family and for Xiaotou himself.
After experiencing so much inhuman torture, Xiao Tou still maintains a passion for life. He looks like the weakest person in their family, but he is actually the backbone of this family.
The little black-haired monster: "It's much better now. They haven't killed anyone in more than ten years."
Baili Xin was a little surprised: "More than ten years have passed in your world?"
He had only been away from there for a few days, not even ten days.
The little black-haired monster: "To be exact, it has been twenty-two years since you left. That space began to collapse after losing the support of Doom Daddy. We finally found a new place to live in time and space."
"It's a very beautiful plane planet, and we live quite contentedly there."
Baili Xin gave a sincere smile: "That's good."
For him, only a few days had passed, but for the little black-haired monsters, many years had passed.
Hearing the little black-haired monster describing the current situation of their family, Baili Xin suddenly had the illusion that he had watched a TV series to the finale and then saw a sweet extra episode.
After ending the previous plane, he was also worried about Xiao Tou's situation. Now it seems that Xiao Tou is much more determined than he thought.
Ghana's eyes widened, unable to believe that they were chatting about family matters while eating one piece each.
They were now standing in a corridor that led in all directions. At any moment a guard might rush up and see his face, then go to the Queen to complain!
They have to get out of here quickly.
He now has some psychological trauma towards Baili Xin, so he doesn't dare to remind Baili Xin, so he can only wink at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao still looked cold, but Ghana suddenly felt a sense of intimacy towards Lin Xiao.
It’s better to be cold.
It's better than some queen flower who looks gentle on the outside but is scary on the inside.
He carefully avoided Baili Xin and was about to pull Lin Xiao's sleeve.
When I looked up, I found that Lin Xiao's chin was slightly raised, his eyes were serious, and he seemed to be looking somewhere.
Ghana couldn't help but follow Lin Xiao's gaze.
It was pitch black above my head, with nothing in sight.
If there is anything, it's only the ceiling on the third floor.
The place they were looking at should be where the stone statue of the queen was placed.
Just as he was wondering, Baili Xin and the little black-haired monster also stopped talking and looked towards that location, as if there was something there that they could see but he couldn't.
Thinking of this possibility, Ghana couldn't help but shake his shoulders again.
He always felt that the few days he spent with Baili Xin were too hellish.
Before he could recover from the tunnel, he fainted from fright when he came here again.
He had experienced more supernatural events in the past two days than he had ever experienced in his entire life.
Ghana, out of curiosity, finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
Baili Xin pursed his lips, "Not looking, but listening. Listen, there is movement above."
Garner pricked up his ears.
A barely perceptible sound reached his ears.
Click.
Click.
Click.
It sounded like something moving slowly along the ground.
But there was no one on the third floor.
The three monsters had already driven everyone down to the first floor. :,,
