After dinner, Zhou Bai floated next to his mother, listening to the sound of water flowing slowly in the kitchen, watching his mother lowering her head to clean the dishes, a smile could not help but hang on her face.

Father Zhou passed behind them and walked towards the toilet.

He stood at the door of the toilet, knocked on the door ten times, and waited until there was no sound from inside, then opened the door and walked in.

[Before opening all the doors, please knock ten times to make sure there are no strange sounds before entering. 】

Zhou Bai heard the knock on the door, tilted his head, and floated out of the kitchen.

Then he picked up the pocket watch that was also in an illusory state, opened it, and looked at the time on it.

[Every night between ten o'clock and eleven o'clock is the time when entering the toilet is prohibited. 】

"Five past nine, safe."

Zhou Bai finished speaking with a smile, and walked slowly to the living room.

In the living room, the unexpected guest, Aunt Wang, was still sitting on the sofa.

Not only did he not intend to leave, but he even rolled his eyes greatly after hearing what Zhou Bai said just now.

"Ten days ago, that fish-faced monster that liked to get out of the toilet, you had already pulled out its fish scales.

Who else do you think would dare to get out of your toilet? "

Zhou Bai was no stranger to Aunt Wang's behavior.

He walked to another sofa, stretched his waist, and then just like every ordinary weekend he used to do, he stretched his feet and lay comfortably on the sofa.

"It's best not to come."

Although Aunt Wang would see Zhou Bai's bad manners every day, she still couldn't help trying to persuade him.

"Great Xia has the ability to resist pollution.

Moreover, they have become more and more familiar with the rules.

You have to believe that they can take care of themselves.

You don't really have to guard them like that. "

Zhou Bai felt that Aunt Wang was a little noisy, so he turned over and raised his hands to cover his ears.

But not long after, he suddenly sat up from the sofa.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Wang leaned on the sofa helplessly.

Then Zhou Bai stood up from the sofa and began to check the rooms one by one.

Aunt Wang was also very helpless about this.

After all, Zhou Bai's current state is no longer a day or two.

"The room is safe, the kitchen is safe, the living room is safe, the toilet is safe.

Oh, and the stairwell. "

Zhou Bai hurriedly passed his body through the door, and not long after, he walked back through the wall.

"Well, the stairwell is also safe."

He seems to be a person suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everyone has to check the house many times.

However, even after checking so many times, he still couldn't relieve the restlessness in his heart.

He couldn't settle down.

Even lying on the sofa, I always feel that my heart is hanging, and I can't find a place to stay.

In the kitchen, my mother didn't turn off the lights after washing the dishes, but put a bowl of clean water on the stove before walking out.

After Dad came out of the toilet, he took down the wall clock on the wall, and after a few tinkerings, the wall clock returned to normal.

"Look, didn't they do a good job?" Aunt Wang comforted Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai sat back on the sofa, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes never left his parents.

"Let's go out with Auntie for a walk.

I'll take you to a place to see.

It's already very safe here, just leave for a while, nothing will happen to them. "

After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she wanted to come over and pull Zhou Bai up from the sofa.

But Zhou Bai quickly avoided her hand, then raised his foot, and fell down on the sofa again.

"Don't waste your time, I won't leave with you."

Aunt Wang has been here with Zhou Bai for so many days, and she is quite angry now.

Now that she saw Zhou Bai posing like this again, the anger on her body escalated even more.

"You just spend here every day, when will you consume it?

You want to protect them, but how long can you protect them?

They are people, not decorations!

They will do anything you can't predict.

Even if you keep an eye on them all the time, you can't predict all the accidents.

And I ask you, if this world collapses, do you have the ability to protect them all the time like now? "

Zhou Bai covered his ears and turned his head: "I will protect as long as I can."

Aunt Wang walked over angrily and pulled his hands off.

"You have more important things to do, you know?"

Aunt Wang's words hit Zhou Bai's pain point and made him stand up from the sofa.

"Don't mention important things to me?

What is important to everyone is different.

Please don't force your opinion on me. "

Aunt Wang was so stunned that she almost couldn't breathe.

"You... you kid, do you know how much you can do with your current abilities?"

Zhou Bai asked directly, "Then I'm using my abilities to protect my parents right now?"

Aunt Wang was so angry that her hands shook a little: "That's not what I told you."

Zhou Bai was also so excited that his eyes were a little scarlet.

"Then what do you mean?

Let me abandon my parents and let them fend for themselves?

Then let me ask you, have you ever experienced the feeling of loss? "

Aunt Wang took a breath: "How could I not experience it?"

Zhou Bai was still emotional:

"Then how many people died in front of me, do you know?

Who can I protect? I didn't protect any of them!

I don't want this kind of thing to happen to my parents.

I don't want what I experienced in the ghost story world to happen to my parents again.

Do you understand? "

Aunt Wang angrily wanted to reach out to pat Zhou Bai awake, but her raised hand stopped in mid-air, but slowly fell down again.

"I spend every day with contaminated people, they are like my closest friends.

But at the end of the day, I have to send them to the slaughterhouse with my own hands.

Do you think I don't understand the feeling of loss?

It's just that I know that only when you lose, will there be more people who don't have to lose. "

Zhou Bai fell down on the sofa in a daze: "But what about me? I don't want to lose."

Aunt Wang sighed softly: "You should have confidence in them, and you should also have confidence in us."

Zhou Bai lowered his head, curled up into a ball, and leaned against the sofa.

"Can you stop yelling at me?

I want to be alone for a while. "

Aunt Wang floated away from his side: "Understood, I will leave."

She finished, moving across the wall.

When Zhou Bai looked up, she was no longer seen in the living room.

"Oh, it's finally clean."

Zhou Bai changed his position and lay down on the sofa.

But although the ears are clean, the heart can't calm down anyway.

He sat up from the sofa again irritatedly, and floated through the wall to the window.

In the sky, a round of bright moon hangs high.

Zhou Bai raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. For a moment, he felt that everything was still the same as before.
