It was a small village in the mountains, hidden by layers of lush trees.

There is only one path leading to the village. Because it had just rained, the path was muddy and you had to be extra careful when walking on it.

Lin Qiushi was walking down the path with a tall girl. The girl seemed to be of mixed race, with deep eyebrows and broad eyes, very beautiful. She was very tall, even taller than Lin Qiushi. She wore an inappropriate long dress, and her eyes were filled with tears. The girl sobbed softly and whispered, "Where exactly is this place?"

Lin Qiushi asked, "Where were you before?"

The girl said, "In my toilet."

Lin Qiushi: "I'm in the hallway of my house."

The girl asked, "The corridor...?"

Lin Qiushi looked up at the gloomy sky and asked, "Did you open a door?"

The girl seemed to remember something, and her expression changed slightly. She said, "Yes."

Lin Qiushi turned around and looked at her: "Me too."

A gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves on the treetops and making the surrounding atmosphere even quieter. Suddenly, light snow began to fall from the sky, as if urging them to speed up and reach the village surrounded by trees in front before dark.

After the two talked, Lin Qiushi learned that the girl's surname was Ruan and her name was Ruan Baijie.

When Lin Qiushi heard the name, he was stunned for three seconds, then he complimented it against his will, "What a nice name."

Ruan Baijie glared at him with her watery eyes and said, "All men are liars."

Lin Qiushi: "Ah?"

Ruan Baijie: "Don't think I haven't read pornographic stories."

Lin Qiushi: "..." It seems this girl isn't as weak as he imagined. As they walked towards the village, they exchanged information and learned that each of them had suddenly appeared in this desolate wilderness because they had opened a door.

Ruan Baijie opened the one for her own toilet, and Lin Qiushi opened the one for his own corridor.

"That door was a black iron door," Ruan Baijie said softly. "There wasn't any decorations on it. I was wondering why there was suddenly such a door in the house. I didn't think much about it and just opened it..."

The next second after they pulled away, they appeared in this desolate wilderness.

Lin Qiushi said, "I also opened a black iron gate..." Just as he said this, he saw a shadowy figure appear on the path ahead. The figure was very tall and should be an adult male.

"Big brother in front!!!" Lin Qiushi called out from afar.

The man paused, as if he heard Lin Qiushi's voice.

Lin Qiushi quickly ran forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Hello, do you know where this is?"

The man turned his head, revealing a bearded face. Combined with his tall and muscular body, he looked like a bear at first glance. "Are you new here?"

Lin Qiushi asked, "What newcomer..."

The man said nothing. He looked at him, then looked at Ruan Baijie who was a little scared behind her: "Let's go, I'll explain it to you in the village."

Lin Qiushi said hello, and the three of them walked towards the village together.

The season here seems to be winter, and the sky gets dark very early. Before I arrived here, the setting sun was still hanging in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, there were only dark clouds and falling snowflakes.

While Lin Qiushi chatted with the man, he observed his surroundings. Aside from the village, there was no other light source. All around him was a vast sea of ​​forest, with no roads and no human habitation.

Lin Qiushi took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the man, but the man waved his hand to refuse.

"Brother, where is this?" Lin Qiushi asked.

The man said, "Just call me Xiongqi."

Lin Qiushi thought that the name truly lived up to the person. He was about to ask more, but Xiong Qi gestured to stop: "Don't ask anymore. You'll know what's going on when we get to the village."

"Oh." Lin Qiushi said, "Okay."

So the three of them walked silently all the way, trying their best to hurry on. Before it was about to get completely dark, they finally reached the path in front of the village.

Xiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the darkness behind him: "Thank goodness we're here. Let's go and meet them first."

Lin Qiushi grasped these key words: newcomers, them. Although he had a bad feeling when he arrived, it was now growing stronger. Ruan Baijie seemed to sense something as well. She stopped crying, her pretty face pale and her eyes filled with panic.

Xiong Qi continued forward and soon brought them to a three-story building next to the village entrance.

He stood at the door and knocked, then heard a young girl's voice from inside: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Xiong Qi." Xiong Qi said.

"It's Brother Xiong, come in." The girl said, "We've been waiting for you."

Xiong Qi reached out and pushed the door. After a slight creak, he revealed the scene at the entrance. The entrance was a spacious living room. At this moment, there were about eight or nine people sitting in the living room. They were gathered around a blazing fire, seemingly discussing something.

"Newcomers?" Someone saw Lin Qiushi and Ruan Baijie behind Xiong Qi.

"Newcomer." Xiong Qi walked into the room slowly and found a random seat to sit down. "Sit down, Xiao Ke, you explain to them."

Xiao Ke was the girl who opened the door for Xiong Qi. She looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face. "You guys take a seat too. I'll briefly explain the situation."

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Baijie looked at each other and sat down near the door.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say." Xiao Ke's attitude was not enthusiastic. "We need to stay in the village for a while and solve some problems, and then we will be fine."

Lin Qiushi: "What's the problem?"

Xiao Ke said, "We don't know yet. We have to go find the village chief tomorrow..." She said, "Are there any materialists among you?"

Lin Qiushi raised his hand: "Me."

Xiao Ke said: "Then you have to change your beliefs."

Lin Qiushi: "...What do you mean?"

Xiao Ke said, "What it means is that supernatural events will happen here."

Lin Qiushi: “…”

Everyone was very indifferent to the two newcomers, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Baijie. Apart from Xiao Ke, no one else even took the initiative to greet them.

Before entering, Lin Qiushi had assumed they were discussing something, but after sitting inside for a while, he realized they were silent. Several people sat quietly in the living room, staring blankly at the flames before them, while some played games on their phones.

There is no mobile phone signal here and you cannot contact the outside world, but you can still play single-player games.

Lin Qiushi did a quick count and found that there were a total of thirteen people in the room, including himself: nine men and four women. Judging from their faces, most of them were relatively young, and the oldest among them was probably no more than forty.

The firewood in the fire crackled. Ruan Baijie seemed to be a little sleepy after sitting for a while. She looked around and saw that no one was about to leave. She asked quietly, "Um... Excuse me, is there a room here where I can sleep? I'm a little sleepy."

I don’t know if it was Lin Qiushi’s illusion, but after Ruan Baijie asked this question, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"Forget it, it's time to go to bed." Xiong Qi stood up. "Otherwise, I'll still fall asleep in the living room. Let's separate the rooms." He glanced at Lin Qiushi. "You stay with her. Be careful at night and don't run around..."

Ruan Baijie said: "I and him share a room? But..."

Xiong Qi sighed, "There's a difference between men and women? Once you've spent the first night, you'll know that's not the point here. It's all about the difference between men and women. It's all about the loss of life."

Ruan Baijie wanted to say something else, but seeing that the atmosphere among the crowd was not right, she had to give up and agreed to room with Lin Qiushi.

Seeing her worried look, Lin Qiushi could only offer comfort, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Ruan Baijie nodded.

There were nine rooms on three floors, but it looked like they didn't plan to live separately. At least two people lived in one room, and there were three people in one room.

"Let's go." Xiong Qi said, "See you tomorrow."

Everyone dispersed. Before leaving, Xiao Ke suddenly walked over to Lin Qiushi and said softly, "Don't trust others too much. As long as you can survive this..."

Lin Qiushi was about to ask a question when he saw her leave in a hurry. It seemed that she had no intention of saying anything more to him.

"Let's go." Ruan Baijie said, "Let's go to bed."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

Their room was on the right side of the corridor on the second floor. There was only one bed in the room, with portraits hanging next to it.

There is no electricity here, so we can only light a kerosene lamp. Because the light is not bright enough, the whole room takes on an old tone, and the air is filled with a musty smell.

Lin Qiushi originally thought that Ruan Baijie would dislike the environment, but he didn't expect that she adapted faster than him. After quickly washing up, she went to lie down on the bed.

On the contrary, Lin Qiushi felt a little awkward sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Go to sleep." Ruan Baijie buried her head in the quilt, her voice a little muffled, "Aren't you tired?"

Lin Qiushi said, "I'm a little tired."

"Yeah, the whole day has been so weird." Ruan Baijie said, "I even suspected that you were hired by the production team to play a prank, but how could a prank be so complete..."

Lin Qiushi took off his coat and crawled into bed. To avoid suspicion, he and Ruan Baijie shared a bed but covered themselves with two quilts. "It's really weird."

Ruan Baijie said: "And those people, did you notice their eyes?"

Lin Qiushi said, "They are afraid."

"Yes." Ruan Baijie said, "They are afraid... So, what are they afraid of?"

Lin Qiushi thought for a while and was about to speak when he heard the sound of even breathing beside him. He turned his head and saw that Ruan Baijie had fallen into a deep sleep.

Lin Qiushi, leaning against the ceiling, lost in thought in the dim light. He actually admired Ruan Baijie. She had suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar place, encountered so many strange people, and yet she was able to fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

However, as Lin Qiushi thought about it, sleepiness gradually came over him. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiushi suddenly woke up.

He was lying in bed when he heard a vague banging sound.

The sound was like a biting wind blowing against an old window, and the creaking sound was like someone walking barefoot on the floor, weighing it down.

Lin Qiushi opened his eyes and saw that the room was plunged into a hazy darkness.

The snow outside had stopped falling at some point, and a huge moon hung high in the sky. A cool light streamed in from the headboard, spreading across the floor like a thin veil.

When Lin Qiushi's gaze slowly moved to the bedside, he suddenly held his breath.

A woman's figure unexpectedly appeared at the head of the bed. She sat at the head of the bed with her back to Lin Qiushi. Her long black hair obscured her outline. She seemed to have noticed Lin Qiushi's awakening and slowly turned her head.

This scene was so much like something out of a horror movie that Lin Qiushi froze for a moment. Fortunately, he was quite courageous. He gritted his teeth and sat up from the bed, cursing, "Fuck you! Who are you?! What are you doing in my room?!"

The woman paused for a moment, and then a voice came: "What's your name? It's me."

It was Ruan Baijie's voice.

Lin Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Why are you sitting at the head of the bed so late?"

"Do you see the well in front of the house?" Ruan Baijie said, "It's the one in the yard."

Lin Qiushi asked, "Well? What well?" He was about to get up from the bed, but he accidentally glanced to his right. This glance made his blood freeze instantly - Ruan Baijie was still sleeping on his right, not moving at all.

"That's the well." The woman with the same voice as Ruan Baijie said, "Let's go and take a look together."

Lin Qiushi: “…”

The woman asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Lin Qiushi said, "I was named an outstanding Party member and cadre just last month."

woman:"……"

Lin Qiushi: "I am a staunch materialist."

woman:"……"

Lin Qiushi asked, "So, how about you try scaring someone else?"

The woman slowly turned her head. In the moonlight, Lin Qiushi saw her face. It was a face that was hard to describe. It was pale and swollen, with eyes almost squeezed out of their sockets. Her appearance was unfamiliar, but her voice was so familiar. She said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Lin Qiushi was silent for three seconds, then looked down at his bed. "Don't be like that. I only brought one pair of pants with me."

woman:"……"

Lin Qiushi wiped his face and said, "If you scare me again, I'll pee." He reached out and patted Ruan Baijie beside him, saying, "Hurry up and get up!!!"

Ruan Baijie was dazed when Lin Qiushi slapped her awake. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" She opened her eyes and saw the woman sitting at the head of the bed. "Who is this? Lin Qiushi, where did you find this woman in the middle of the night? You're so shameless. How am I inferior to her?"

Lin Qiushi: “…” Is this the point?

Ruan Baijie cursed softly for a few times, then suddenly felt something was wrong. She widened her beautiful black eyes and said, "Why is her neck getting longer and longer..."

Lin Qiushi looked again and found that the woman had stood up from the head of the bed. Her head tilted to one side and her neck became longer and longer, like a mutant snake.

Both of them were stunned by this scene. Finally, Lin Qiushi couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Fuck it, run!" Then he grabbed Ruan Baijie's hand and ran out the door.

As a result, Ruan Baijie, who was weak during the day, ran faster than Lin Qiushi and disappeared outside the door like a gust of wind.

Lin Qiushi: "Run slower, damn!"

Ruan Baijie: "If I just ran slower, wouldn't I be in trouble?"

Lin Qiushi: “…” Haha, woman.

The two of them scurried all the way to the first floor like rabbits, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that the creature hadn't followed them down. Ruan Baijie cried harder than anyone else and ran faster than a dog. By the time Lin Qiushi was panting, her eyes were already filled with tears, ready for another round.

"Don't cry, don't cry," Lin Qiushi said. "What if you keep your voice down and attract that thing?"

Ruan Baijie: "You only care about others and don't care about me."

Lin Qiushi: “…”

Perhaps it was because Lin Qiushi's expression was too disgusted that Ruan Baijie managed to hold back her tears. She sat down weakly on a stool on the first floor, gently wiping the corners of her wet eyes.

At this moment, they were standing in the living room on the first floor. The whole house was empty. There had been such a big commotion just now, but no one came out to watch the fun. In fact, apart from their breathing, no other sound could be heard.

Lin Qiushi stood there for a while and hesitated, "What should we do?" He and Ruan Baijie had no experience in these matters and had no idea how to deal with them. They were standing in the living room like two wooden stakes.

"It's snowing outside." Ruan Baijie suddenly said, slowly walked to the door and looked towards the courtyard.

"It snowed in the middle of the night." Lin Qiushi stood at the doorway and saw a thin layer of snow already piling up in the courtyard. He also saw the well the female ghost had mentioned. Indeed, as she had said, there was a well in the middle of the courtyard. The well's location was somewhat awkward, right in the center of the courtyard, even blocking the main entrance. This wasn't a good sign from a feng shui perspective.

"There is a stone entrance, but no words to express it." Ruan Baijie suddenly said, "This well is so well built." She smiled, and her eyes looked particularly beautiful with their curved corners.

"What?" Lin Qiushi asked, "You also understand Feng Shui?"

Ruan Baijie said, "Someone at home makes this. I've learned a little bit." She glanced at Lin Qiushi and asked, "What do you do?"

Lin Qiushi: "The designer..."

Ruan Baijie: "Oh, you're not bald, you haven't been doing this for many years, have you?"

Lin Qiushi: “…” You really know how to talk.

"Guess what I do?" Ruan Baijie lifted her hair.

Lin Qiushi: "Model?" He rarely saw a girl as tall as Ruan Baijie. She had a straight figure and good temperament. Apart from her small breasts, she seemed to have no other shortcomings.

"No." Ruan Baijie said with a smile, "I'm a fortune teller."

Lin Qiushi was stunned.

"Let me calculate." Ruan Baijie's fingers quickly calculated, "The moon is so round today, I feel like someone is going to die."

Lin Qiushi was at a loss for words: "What kind of logic is this? How can someone die when the moon is full?"

Ruan Baijie ignored Lin Qiushi. She walked toward the courtyard and waved at him. Lin Qiushi was startled by her gesture: "Where are you going? It's so late..."

Ruan Baijie said, "I want to see this well."

"Let's wait and see tomorrow during the day. It's too dangerous now." Although Lin Qiushi said this, he was still worried that something might happen to Ruan Baijie, so he followed her into the courtyard.

Ruan Baijie was wearing a white long dress and walked lightly in the snow like an elf. She slowly approached the wellhead, but did not go over. Instead, she waited for Lin Qiushi to come over.

Lin Qiushi asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Baijie said: "Nothing, I just suddenly don't want to watch it anymore, let's go back."

Lin Qiushi was puzzled: "Why are you going back?"

"It's too cold." Ruan Baijie said, "I'm almost frozen." After she said that, she naturally held Lin Qiushi's arm and pulled him back into the house.

Lin Qiushi was being pulled by Ruan Baijie and found that she was extremely strong and he was unable to break free for a while.

"Ruan Baijie?" Lin Qiushi was frightened by Ruan Baijie's strength.

Ruan Baijie then let go of his hand: "Let's go, it's so cold, let's go back quickly, we can still sleep a little longer..." After she said that, she ignored Lin Qiushi and went upstairs to her room.

Lin Qiushi had no choice but to follow her back to the room on the second floor. Fortunately, the terrifying woman had disappeared, but the window was open, and a cold wind rushed into the room.

Ruan Baijie got on the bed, closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Lin Qiushi couldn't sleep, so he relit the kerosene lamp and stayed up all night. The nights here were long and terrifying. Outside, the wind and snow howled, and inside, a beautiful woman slept soundly. Ruan Baijie slept in the same bed with a man she had just met, completely unsuspecting. Her breathing was even, and a faint blush graced her fair cheeks, making her look particularly alluring.

Lin Qiushi glanced at her and then looked away. He wasn't a gentleman who could remain calm in the face of temptation, but he wasn't the kind of villain who would take advantage of someone's misfortune.

The next day, the shadow of the rising sun appeared on the edge of the sky around eight o'clock.

It snowed all night and it was already white outside.

Ruan Baijie groaned as she opened her eyes, stretched out an arm, and then instantly retracted it: "It's so cold..."

Seeing her expression, Lin Qiushi thought to himself, “That’s not what you said last night.”

"Qiu Shi." Ruan Baijie said, "Go find me two pieces of clothing. I'm only wearing a skirt...it's too cold."

Lin Qiushi agreed. He actually planned to find two pieces of thicker clothes for himself, since it was still a hot summer in his world.

The author has something to say:

Also, the attacker has appeared. He is really sick hahahaha

To avoid the sense of substitution, change the name of the supporting character, Xiong Qi to Xiong Qi
