Shen Bai did step back this time, but only to avoid her sharp nails.

What's she doing? She's not putting on a convincing act at all.

Just as the "female ghost" was wondering what was going on, Shen Bai suddenly moved closer to her, placed his hands on either side of his head in a grasping motion, widened his eyes, and stuck out his tongue.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The girl was so frightened by Shen Bai's sudden approach to the ghostly face that she screamed and backed away, dropping the props in her hands.

Shen Bai picked up the red veil from the ground, put it on his own head, and, imitating the girl from before, reached out his hand to approach her.

The girl was so frightened by his actions that she let out a series of screams and finally ran towards the door in fear.

"Aaaaaah!! I already said I didn't want to play this role, waaaaah..."

Am I imitating her badly? Why is she running away?

Shen Bai tilted his head in confusion.

The red veil was still covering his head, and his dark hair cascaded down from it, making Song Yun pause in surprise.

"noob."

He walked up to Shen Bai and hugged him tightly.

The giant squid is starting to get clingy again.

Is he scared? Let's comfort him.

He remembered that when he was sick, Song Yun would pat him on the back.

So, Shen Bai reached out and wrapped his arms around Song Yun's strong waist, patting Song Yun's back with his right hand.

Don't be afraid, Little White will protect you.

"Thump! Thump!"

The rapid beating of his heart was especially loud in this quiet space; at least Song Yun could hear it clearly at that moment.

Xiao Bai said he would protect himself...

Song Yun's breathing became heavier, and her ears turned slightly red, but Shen Bai's vision was blocked by the red veil, so he didn't see it.

Song Yun raised her hand and slowly lifted the red veil.

Shen Bai's fair and flawless face was revealed. He blinked his innocent big eyes, as if he was wondering.

Song Yun raised her hand and covered his eyes.

Too naive. Song Yun looked down at Shen Bai's slightly parted lips, wishing he could kiss her directly, invade that territory that didn't belong to him, and even...

But no, he can't scare the child right now.

He silently repeated to himself, "Take it slow, take it slow..."

He took a few deep breaths and pressed the pale, bewildered little face against his chest.

I can't see it, I can't see it.

What happened to the giant squid?

Are you too scared?

He remembered his master saying that many people were afraid of ghosts, even his junior master was afraid, because the little ghost was too ugly.

I remember when he was ten years old, he was playing with his junior master and opened his yin-yang eyes. As a result, his junior master was so scared that he couldn't eat for three days.

He almost got beaten up by his master, but luckily his fellow disciples stepped in to stop him.

Of course, most importantly, thankfully, Chen Nuo was only so disgusted that she couldn't eat.

Later, almost everyone from Qingyue Temple wanted to go down the mountain to find all sorts of delicious food.

Only a few young Taoist priests, including Shen Bai, who could catch ghosts, accompanied Shen Nuo, because Shen Nuo was afraid that ghosts would appear again.

It wasn't until someone started grilling meat under Shen Nuo's big tree that the little fox was finally coaxed down to eat.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai raised his hand and gently patted Song Yun's back, trying to comfort him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all fake."

Thinking about it, he remembered that he couldn't speak, so he had to type on his phone.

Then he held it up for Song Yun to see.

"Don't be afraid, these are all fake."

Song Yun looked at Shen Bai with deep eyes, sighed, and then took Shen Bai's hand.

"Xiaobai, you know my parents went abroad a long time ago, and I've been all alone at home all these years. Sometimes, when it thunders and rains at night, I'm the only one huddled under the covers by myself..."

The howling wind here reminds me of the dark nights I've endured alone over the years, so... so I'm a little scared.

He spoke in a low voice, and the hand holding Shen Bai's was trembling slightly.

Shen Bai looked up at him.

A scene instantly came to mind.

Little Song Yun nestled in her small bed, the dilapidated window swaying wildly in the gale, making a terrifying crackling sound.

Outside the window, thunder roared, lightning flashed, and heavy rain poured down, with little ghosts occasionally drifting by. Little Song Yun was so frightened that she hid under the covers, trembling and sobbing softly.

[I never imagined that giant squid went through this kind of ordeal as babies. It's so pitiful.]

Shen Bai reached out her small hand and took Song Yun's hand, looking at him with a face full of sympathy.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he nodded firmly.

Realizing what had happened, she took out her phone and typed:

"Don't worry, I will definitely get you out of here. Little White can protect you."

Song Yun frowned slightly, but his face also showed a hint of surprise:

"Really? But won't Xiaobai think I'm too weak?"

His voice was low and hesitant as he spoke.

Shen Bai understood and quickly shook his head.

【No way! Even the Junior Master is afraid of ghosts, so Xiao Bai wouldn't think the Junior Master is weak.】

Upon hearing Shen Bai's thoughts, Song Yun completely ignored the part about his junior master and only heard: "No way."

"Let's keep going then, but don't stray too far from me, okay?"

These words sounded so aggrieved, and Shen Bai felt a pang of guilt.

Oh, I see. No wonder he kept clinging to me and pestering me. Well, I'll forgive him then.

Shen Bai's impression of Song Yun suddenly changed from a hateful villain to a pitiful little thing who was afraid of ghosts and the dark.

Shen Bai had no choice but to pull him forward quickly, they needed to find a way out as soon as possible.

He opened the first door.

Continuing forward, this time we came to a dilapidated hospital room, with burn marks all around it.

Shen Bai led Song Yun around searching for clues, when suddenly his gaze fell on the operating table in the corner.

This is a person covered by a dirty white cloth with a large pool of blood in the middle.

As the two drew closer, Song Yun tightened his grip on Shen Bai's hand slightly.

Shen Bai noticed this, turned around and hugged Song Yun again, patting his back to comfort him.

The person on the operating table suddenly sat up abruptly; the envelope was right next to the bedside.

Shen Bai rushed over and shoved the man back down.

Before the white cloth covering the man's face could be lifted, and before he could react, Shen Bai grabbed the envelope, took Song Yun's hand, and ran away.

When the man got out of bed, the ward was empty.

"What's going on? What did you just do?"

The site manager, who witnessed this scene on the monitor, was also somewhat bewildered and could only take out his pager.

"Those two don't play by the rules, so you guys should play it a little bigger."

So, when the two of them quickly ran to the next room, the "ghosts" were no longer in their original places, but instead came out one by one to scare them.

Song Yun followed closely behind Shen Bai, and when he looked down, he saw the little guy carefully examining how to get out.
