Xiaochi Chi woke up to Qiaoqiao Guan's screams and found himself in the arms of Yu Gan, who was in the same bed.

His arms were locked around his waist, his movements natural and gentle.

When did ...... hold on? How come he didn't feel anything at all?

Yu Gan was also just woken up by Qiaoqiao Guan, and his hands were already groping for him during the drowsiness, covering his ears skillfully, and whispering in a half-sand voice that had just woken up, "Don't move."

Xiaochi Chi .

He thought he was dreaming, as if he had woken up in the early morning, when someone leaned over him in his sleep and asked him if the eggs were fried on one side, both sides, or wrapped in sliced buns.

The illusion was so beautiful that he didn't even dare to turn around.

But he also gave himself only three seconds to indulge in it.

Three seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief, pushed Yu Gan's hand away without a word, tried to sit up, and said anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Who thought Yu Gan pressed his shoulder and said directly, "Are you really in that much of a hurry."

Xiaochi Chi : "......"

Don't say, Xiaochi Chi is not really in a hurry.

Yu Gan looked down at him: "If you're not in a hurry, close your eyes, wake up, and get up slowly. If you wake up suddenly without breakfast, you will easily get low blood sugar."

After that, Yu Gan reached out to touch the glasses on the side of the bed and raised an eyebrow at Tang Gan.

Tang Gan got up of his own accord and pulled the door open to look out.

Xiaochi Chi obediently closed his eyes, his fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of the quilt.

After several attempts, Xiaochi Chi has a clear suspicion of Yu Gan's identity, but he refuses to admit it.

Although the reason is not clear, Xiaochi Chi also does not intend to keep asking, so we just treat him as a temporary partner, and then we will figure out the reason later.

Just, if 061 is really Yu Gan, really can have entities in various world lines, then cooking taste and Lou exactly the same winter Feihong ......

While thinking, Xiaochi Chi jolted up and sat up from the bed: "...... What's the smell?"

Yu Gan and he looked at each other and, realizing that things had changed, they both got out of bed.

The source of that burnt smell is obvious.

Rolling smoke from the Qiaoqiao Guan room, three or four missionaries have arrived at the door, but did not dare to go inside, only to look at the door.

Xiaochi Chi arrives late with the help of Yu Gan, looking anxious, and Yu Gan whispers to him what is happening in the room with a gentle look, respecting his role as the blind man.

Xiaochi Chi can see clearly.

The photo of "The Snowy Night People" was burning on Qiaoqiao Guan's bed with the quilt, the double-glass was smashed to pieces, and the lighter Qiaoqiao Guan threw in was burst by the heat, spilling plastic shells and dark gasoline everywhere.

Qiaoqiao Guan grabbed the back of a chair with both hands and looked at the photo with a vicious gaze, as if this could scare the ghost in the photo away.

However, her fingers were already stiff and she could not release her grip on the chair, so Benshan Yuan had to desperately drag her out with the chair.

The staff who are NPCs made a normal response to the sound and came to take the fire extinguisher prepared to go in and put out the fire.

Qiaoqiao Guan looked around nervously at everyone, longing for a definitive answer: "I burned it, didn't I?"

No one could answer her.

The good thing is that the fire has not spread up, foam fire extinguisher spray over a few dozen seconds, the fire has receded, the only remaining bed of wreckage.

The staff walked out of the room with the fire extinguisher: "Why are you so careless?"

Qiaoqiao Guan thought the photo had been destroyed, a fluke also came out from the bottom of the heart, I do not know whether to cry or laugh, thought for a long time, but still showed a little distorted smile, right as a reply.

However, the next words of the staff made her freeze: "This Castle is a rental, fortunately it didn't burn anything else."

Qiaoqiao Guan froze for a few seconds and dove into the room.

...... Where is the picture in that messy bed of quilts?

In the next second, Qiaoqiao Guan froze in place.

Out of the corner of her eye, a delicate, intact picture frame appeared on the wall.

The returnee, who is advancing against the wind and snow, is near again.

Next, Xiaochi Chi spent an hour experimenting with the properties of the photos inside Castle.

Any attempt to destroy and remove the photo from its original location proved to be futile.

Other photos in Castle have similar characteristics.

Even if the photo is locked into a room, it will automatically refresh and reset after a few seconds, and the act of smashing and burning photos is a waste of effort.

...... Xiaochi Chi was convinced that Qiaoqiao Guan was in danger of escaping.

This female ghost inhabits the photos in Castle, and can appear freely in any place where there are photos hanging, and the photos cannot be destroyed, which is equivalent to no solution.

But Qiaoqiao Guan still refused to die.

She tried to move to an empty bedroom to rest and also move the photos out of that room, however within half an hour, she escaped from it again screaming.

--There was a picture of a children's choir hanging in the empty bedroom, but by the time she fell away, the picture in the frame had been contaminated and gradually transformed into the one of "The Snowy Night".

And the original palm-sized black shadow gradually has been divided into limbs, and can even see the five senses.

She cried out to leave Castle and sleep with the backup crew outside, as far away from these damn photos as possible, but was dissuaded by Xiaochi Chi.

Those staff just look normal too.

They are not human, not ghosts, in case they are with the ghosts, Qiaoqiao Guan is not going to enter the tiger's mouth?

This does not work, that does not work, Qiaoqiao Guan lips white shrink in the corner of the room, scratching the scalp with nails, scratching the nails are dark red scalp flakes.

Qiaoqiao Guan's madness is understandable to anyone.

If you always feel that someone in the door, in the window, in the bottom of the bed, with the old gourmets look at the plate of food in the eyes, a moment, pervasive peeping at you, and this person can not see, can not touch, can not fight, simply do not know when will be close, and do not know when will leave, you will not go crazy?

However, no matter how frantic Qiaoqiao Guan's side is, the play still has to be performed, and the others cannot give up their own tasks in order to accompany and comfort her.

Finally, Xiaochi Chi came up with an idea.

He and Benshan Yuan led the shivering Qiaoqiao Guan back to the room where "The Man Who Returned by Night in the Snow" had been placed, and instructed Benshan Yuan to take down the picture and hang it on the wall upside down.

--The source of the view is the photograph, and the photograph itself cannot be destroyed, nor can it be left in its original position, so placing it upside down may isolate this sense of being voyeuristic.

This method is very stupid, but Qiaoqiao Guan really can't feel that kind of gaze like hocks.

She proposed to flip all the photos in Castle upside down, but some of the valuable large photos are mosaic, fixed on the wall, and difficult to move without tools, and after testing, as long as more than five photos are flipped, they will be judged by Castle itself as "out of place", and all photos will be refreshed with one click All photos will be refreshed with one click and restored to their original state.

Xiaochi Chi had no choice but to ask Benshan Yuan to turn over the picture "The Man Returning at Night in the Snow" and throw away Qiaoqiao Guan's burnt bedding, replacing it with a brand new set, so that the exhausted Qiaoqiao Guan could rest in the room.

Without that sight, she was so tired that she fell asleep, but in her sleep she was frowning, obviously not relaxed.

After covering the door for her, Xiaochi Chi sighed.

Benshan Yuan : "Is this okay."

Xiaochi Chi : "Cover your ears, do you think it's OK?"

More than a cover-up, Qiaoqiao Guan is now equivalent to being locked up with a ghost, but in order to make her spirit less tortured, in order to gain a little security, she can only empty her brain, forcing herself not to think so much.

Qiaoqiao Guan is now living like an ostrich, a slam into the sand, as if it had found the safest place in the world, regardless of the fluorescent green eyes of the wolves surrounding it behind.

Qiaoqiao Guan's solo scene was supposed to be shot on the first day, but because she was "sick" and "not in a good state of mind," the director simply adjusted the shooting schedule and switched to what happened when the six main characters arrived at Castle on the first day. The director simply adjusted the shooting schedule to shoot what happened on the first day the six main characters arrived at Castle.

Everyone has a plan in mind, and no experience in shooting movies, so a lot of jokes, can not find the camera, forget the lines, NG constantly, mistakes, everyone is impatient.

No one expected that the best performance was the least favored "little blind man".

Before the shoot, he was helped by the makeup artist named Yu Gan to walk the set several times to memorize his position and confirm the placement of various props several times by himself.

Everyone looked at his clumsy and dumb look, and they all thought that Chunyang Song might be finished.

But the truth is, he managed to shut up and amaze everyone in his first scene.

In the setting, " Chunyang Song " in high school is a half-blind, the nature of the goose is soft, contrary, has been the object of bullying, relying on following the male lead to avoid the status quo of collective bullying, but also has been the male lead in the small group of aggrieved, small errand boy.

He did not follow the script settings, with dirt ugly glasses and crumpled polo shirt baked ordinary loser temperament, but wore a pricey jacket, but did not have to cut off the clothing price tag, hot and sweaty also dare not take off the jacket, because the thin sweater under his jacket is particularly cheap style, thirty dollars a piece of treasure goods.

As everyone enters Castle, either nervously or with too much force, reading their lines and moving around, he stays in the corner of the room, grinning, listening to everyone with a smile, making sure everyone who looks at him can see his smile in the first place.

However, if the camera can give him a close-up, you can notice that he argued hard to keep the smile for dozens of seconds, with a scalp of grimace.

He was so good as a backdrop that even the director couldn't resist giving him a few more shots.

Soon, it was his turn to deliver his lines.

In the first scene, he only had one line.

The main man asked this former follower to help them pack.

When he heard the words "Chunyang Song", he stood with his back against the wall and his knees habitually bent slightly downward, as if to kneel, but also as if to give himself a push so that he could stand straighter.

Because he hadn't been speaking, his voice was a little dry when he let out the first two words, but it was just the right amount of dry: "It's still ...... me."

His stupid look amused the ponytailed woman who had been acting nervously and awkwardly, and she couldn't help but follow him into the scene and say, "Not you, but me?"

Xiaochi Chi immediately knew he had done something stupid and pulled his feet up to head upstairs, only to stumble over a piece of wood flooring that had buckled on the ground.

He himself seemed to think he was being ridiculous like this, and explained with a smile ahead of the crowd, "Not standing still, not standing still."

He said he lifted the two boxes close to him and headed for the stairs, but turned back as he touched the stair railing and glanced at the pictures on the wall.

This was one of the props that Yu Gan had repeatedly confirmed the exact location of before he started shooting, according to his instructions.

The photo was a group photo brought by the crew, with seven people on it, exactly how the seven of them in the cast looked like in their high school uniforms.

He slightly squinted, want to see more clearly, but his feet unconsciously rushed upwards, rushing to pack bags for the seven people to go, but his eyes have been following that photo, the action seems rushed and ridiculous, but also reveals a gentle nostalgia.

Yu Gan, who did not have to act, looked at Xiaochi Chi with his arms around him and a gentle restrained look of admiration in his eyes.

It was not the first time he saw Xiaochi Chi in a movie, but it was the first time he saw it live.

I can only say that he was born for the camera, the kind of unspeakable spirituality and charm, just look into the eyes, it can easily make people move.

There are his scenes, all of which are in one article.

...... While the others were called by the director to be scolded, Xiaochi Chi excused himself to fix his makeup and went back to the dressing room with the Gan siblings.

He is not yet proficient at taking off and putting on contacts, so he leaves it all to Yu Gan.

Yu Gan carefully removed the two layers of film, and gave him drops of eye drops to relieve eye fatigue, blew lightly twice, told him to close his eyes and rest, and pressed his hands on his shoulder blades, indicating that he was always there, telling him that he could close his eyes without fear.

This thoughtfulness makes Xiaochi Chi can't help but think of something.

Tang Gan asked while picking out Xiaochi Chi's clothes, "I've always wanted to ask, why do you want to pretend to be blind? If you are afraid that people will know that your pupil color is abnormal, you can solve it by wearing contacts."

Xiaochi Chi closed her eyes and her voice was lazy, "Yeah, why is that."

Chunyang Song is simple and never thinks about these problems, he only thinks that this is a kind of irrelevant love - fun, will be closer to Benshan Yuan and they just, when he can help others, he is never afraid to reveal his identity of the yin and yang.

Chunyang Song thinks so, but what about Benshan Yuan?

"Because 'blind' means trouble. Who wants to team up with a blind man." He said lightly, " Benshan Yuan did not want others to team up with us and share information, in his opinion, I am his, this pair of Yin Yang eyes should be his, should be his biggest bargaining chip to survive, if it is given to others to use, then won't it let others take advantage of it for nothing?"

Yu Gan took a soft towel, wiped up the eye drops that had dripped from his eyes, and briefly summarized Xiaochi Chi's analysis: "Egoism."

Xiaochi Chi shrugged: "I didn't say there was anything wrong with self-interest. Self-interest is not detrimental to others, but rather a very clever performance."

Yu Gan asked rhetorically, "What if some people are detrimental to others but beneficial to themselves."

"Then the people around him have to be smart." Xiaochi Chi says, "Kindness requires a warm heart, but also teeth and claws. The former is used to be kind to others, the latter to protect yourself."

Together, they almost said everything Xiaochi Chi wanted to say to Chunyang Song.

Chunyang Song's only problem is that it is so well protected that it pays too high a price the first time it sees the brutality and poison of the human heart.

Xiaochi Chi is not afraid that Chunyang Song will not recognize the darkness, but that he will no longer believe in the light.

However, if Xi Lou is with him after ten missions, perhaps there will be no need to worry.

Thinking about this, he leaned back in the soft back of the chair and pursed his lips with a soft smile.

Yu Gan couldn't help but to explore his fingers and stroked Xiaochi Chi's eyelashes with a bit of water mist through the □.

...... He likes this look too much Xiaochi Chi.

Except for Xiaochi Chi, the first and second days of shooting did not go well, so Benshan Yuan's face was gloomy when she entered Qiaoqiao Guan's room to bring her food.

For two days, Qiaoqiao Guan locked himself in his room and asked others to bring him food and drinks.

As the figure in the photo gets closer, her condition gets worse and Qiaoqiao Guan is so sick that she can't leave the room and only this room with ghosts can give her a sense of security.

But such a sense of security is just a pavilion in the air, it can not make people really feel comfort, only to force people to slide into the abyss of collapse step by step.

"She wanted frantically to see where the "night person" in the picture had gone, but did not have the courage.

When she saw Benshan Yuan, she sat up with a jolt, and a glimmer of hope reappeared on her white, withered face: " Yang Chun, has he found a way?"

Benshan Yuan replied, "He's still thinking about it."

This is just a prevarication.

Everyone knows that Qiaoqiao Guan is dead, just a matter of dying early and late, but the person concerned still harbors a glimmer of hope.

Hope can sometimes be more torturous than despair.

"Think! Think about thinking!" Qiaoqiao Guan screamed out of control, "When the hell will you figure it out? Give me a time?"

Benshan Yuan's face was cold, forcing him to hold back his impatience.

No one is happy to watch the dying and hysterical struggle of a dying man, it does not give any pleasure.

He put the bento down, "Let's eat."

Qiaoqiao Guan stared at Benshan Yuan and said suspiciously, " Benshan Yuan, did you say something to Yang Chun? Why doesn't he come to see me anymore?"

These days, Qiaoqiao Guan has been doing a lot of suspicious things, which is really annoying, and Chunyang Song is a fool, often looking for Benshan Yuan, "If I had given her one of the Yin Yang eyes earlier, this would not have happened", plus the mission is not smooth, all kinds of things The combination of all these things, Benshan Yuan can not suppress the cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "What you have done, you do not know in your heart."

Qiaoqiao Guan stalled, his slightly sunken eyes fixed on Benshan Yuan: "What I have done, you have also done. Don't try to keep yourself so clean."

Benshan Yuan did not want to talk to her anymore, and with a strange laugh, he turned his head away.

But this laugh has completely stimulated Qiaoqiao Guan's fragile and sensitive nerves.

As she lifted the covers, she said, "You're going to treat me like a castaway?"

Benshan Yuan lowered his voice and sneered back, "Is there any value for a partner like you to survive? ...... a person who will die at any time!"

The comment obviously irritated Qiaoqiao Guan, and she let out a harrumph, her face nearly contorted: "Really? Benshan Yuan, then have you ever heard that when a person is about to die, his words are good?"

Benshan Yuan was still rethinking what this meant when he saw Qiaoqiao Guan jumping off the bed and shouting in a loud voice, "Pure--"

Benshan Yuan saw the situation, a hand to cover her mouth, the other hand grabbed her hair, simply pressed, to the edge of the bed a fierce knock!

Qiaoqiao Guan immediately soft body, only to feel the sky spinning, fishy hot smell from the hair gurgling down, confused eyes.

She thought her sense of pain had long been paralyzed by fear, yet she was really hit by this and still jerked around in pain.

In the past two days, everyone is used to her shouting, and how she shouted madly, everyone will only think that she is sick again, and will never easily come to check.

Pain sparked her impulsive malice, and she twisted her voice to threaten him, "If you don't hurry up and find a way to save me, I'll let Yang Chun know about your shit. If I die, you won't be able to live either!"

Benshan Yuan looked at her and did not say anything.

Qiaoqiao Guan went crazy with despair and hope, and said in a strange voice, "Dr. Yuan, kill me if you can. You are the last person to see me. If you kill me, you will be the most suspicious one."

Benshan Yuan looked at her seriously again for a while and smiled.

He asked, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it? What do you want to talk to Yang Chun about? ...... Ah, it's something we conspired to do, right. But what proof do you have."

Qiaoqiao Guan : "Don't forget, I have a cell phone -"

Benshan Yuan pulled out a cell phone from his pocket and laughed, "...... You mean this?"

Since the suspicion that Qiaoqiao Guan had leaked the information, Benshan Yuan started to destroy the evidence.

His own phone was lost on the way here, probably stolen by a pickpocket, saving him the trouble of destroying evidence. Qiaoqiao Guan's phone was taken by him during his last meal delivery and soaked in water, the memory card was also taken out and broken in half and flushed down the toilet, completely destroyed, with no possibility of repair.

In the other world, the cell phone signal is zero, not at all usable, not as good as a slate, so Qiaoqiao Guan did not even find the phone missing.

Qiaoqiao Guan once again fell into a frenzy, struggling to get up and yelling, "Then I'll tell him myself! No need for any evidence! I'm dying, what am I afraid of? What else am I afraid of?"

"Is that so?"

Benshan Yuan pulled the sheet off the bed and said slowly, "Let's try it then."

It is easy to lose one's mind in the madness, and only when he found his hands bound to the steel bed rails did Qiaoqiao Guan panic: "Benshan Yuan, what are you doing?"

Without a word, Benshan Yuan fetched a pillowcase, firmly gagged her, tied Qiaoqiao Guan's limbs to the bed, and tied them in surgical knots.

After all this, Benshan Yuan walked towards the picture.

Qiaoqiao Guan guessed what he was going to do, and suddenly let out a panicked cry of grief.

"Didn't they say they were going to die." Benshan Yuan said, "Didn't it say 'fear nothing'."

He lifted the frame, lifted it with force, and flipped it over!

Qiaoqiao Guan's throat burst out with a heartbreaking roar, but was blocked under a ball of pillowcases.

She was so scared that she was dry heaving while making vague angry noises, probably curses of the utmost viciousness.

Benshan Yuan didn't care to listen to her, he took the key to the room from the struggling Qiaoqiao Guan, walked out, locked the door, put the key in his pocket and walked away.

He can not kill people, but ghosts can.

The sight of Qiaoqiao Guan again enveloped the sky.

Qiaoqiao Guan was tied to the bed, unable to move, his chest heaving, not daring to look at the photo, but unable to stop looking.

She finally was careful to part a little bit of the afterglow over.

The photo is still a snow-capped field, majestic, however, the figure of the night people did not continue to expand, and even a little smaller than the previous days.

However, the feeling of being peeped at is unabated, tormenting her so much that she can't stop banging her head on the bed.

What's going on? Didn't the night person go far away?

And the images in the photos always gave Qiaoqiao Guan a subtle sense of incongruity, as if they were different from the photos she had seen before.

She mustered up enough courage before she looked right at it.

Gradually, Qiaoqiao Guan opened his eyes wide.

...... she found out.

The white in the picture is not the white of the snowfield, but the white of the pupil.

And the inky black dot, the very pupil of stillness, was gazing motionlessly at her on the bed.

She opened her mouth wide, the corners of her lips dripping saliva, a hoarse cry of sorrow from the chest, fearful not like a human voice.
