Reincarnation: Trying to pretend to be ordinary, but it turns out it's really impossible.

Shen Xingbai collapsed onto the sofa, utterly exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes, looking utterly listless and devoid of any zest for life.

Not long after, Su Ningning woke up rubbing her eyes, and looked at him groggily:

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you going to sleep? I sleep very well, I don't need anyone to watch over me, you should go to sleep."

Shen Xingbai: "..."

He doesn't even have the strength to sigh anymore.

Shen Xingbai forced a smile, his voice betraying his unconcealed exhaustion:

"It's nothing, I just couldn't sleep. I'll sit for a while. I'll be fine once I wake up. Are you hungry? Let's go get breakfast."

Su Ningning nodded and obediently followed him to have breakfast.

Halfway through the meal, she noticed that Shen Xingbai's eyelids were almost stuck together, there were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked listless.

"Go get some sleep," she nudged him. "I'll just go for a walk by myself, and we'll go back when you're awake."

Shen Xingbai couldn't hold on any longer, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded:

"Okay, then don't wander off, be careful, and call me if anything happens."

"Okay!"

Su Ningning walked out of the hotel alone, and not far away she ran into several acquaintances from the national competition.

After the competition ended, no one was in a hurry to go back. They thought that since they had come all the way to Cangzhou, they might as well take a look around before leaving.

After a few words of invitation, Su Ningning decided to join them for a stroll.

As the group walked along a side street, she frowned as she looked at the pavement:

"What happened here? Why is it all tattered and broken?"

A contestant next to him shook his head:

"I don't know. I heard that someone got drunk and went on a rampage last night, smashing the railings, trash cans, and wall tiles."

The whole place was a mess. But thankfully, that person was responsible.

They proactively reported the compensation to the local police station and urban management department, so they didn't pursue the matter further.

The road needs to be repaired for a few days, so this is the best we can do for now.

Upon hearing this, Su Ningning immediately adopted a righteous and stern expression:

"That's so inconsiderate! I hate people who get drunk and act crazy!"

It's one thing to drink at home, but to go outside and smash things is just too much.

"Exactly, that's so rude." Others chimed in.

She followed the group of people as they slowly walked down the small street.

As she walked, Su Ningning suddenly noticed a trash can with footprints on it by the roadside.

For some reason, the more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

A blurry image flashed through my mind.

The image shows her stepping on the trash can while saying something.

Many fragmented memories flooded back, and she felt a little uneasy.

It shouldn't be...she who did it, right?

Definitely not. No matter how drunk she is, she wouldn't go this crazy.

Yes, it definitely wasn't her. Then Su Ningning walked quickly across the street without looking to the side.

After leaving that street, Su Ningning unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The group strolled around until three or four in the afternoon, when someone suggested going to visit a popular haunted house nearby.

Upon hearing that they were going to a haunted house, Su Ningning shuddered violently.

She fears nothing and no one, except ghosts, which terrify her.

Perhaps influenced by deeply ingrained beliefs from her past life, she felt that this thing really existed.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, she didn't want to spoil their fun, especially since Shen Xingbai was still asleep.

He could only nod reluctantly, "...Okay, fine."

As soon as Su Ningning reached the entrance of the haunted house, the eerie background music began to play, and goosebumps instantly rose on her skin.

Their steps froze, and they instinctively shrank behind a few people.

The contestants burst out laughing when they saw her like that.

"No way, Sister Su, you're the undisputed queen of the competition, but you're actually afraid of this in private?"

"Girls are just timid."

One of the contestants, dressed in red, joked with a smile:

"Sister Su, I didn't expect you to be such a scaredy-cat. Just follow me. I've done this several times, I have experience, you'll be fine if you follow me."

Upon hearing this, Su Ningning felt much more at ease and carefully examined the contestant in red in front of her.

She looked at him earnestly and said, "Oh, thank you."

Seeing this, another contestant chimed in, "I'm experienced too. If you get scared, just come to me, and I'll protect you."

Su Ningning then turned to look at the contestant in the yellow shirt and obediently nodded: "Okay."

Before long, the group was filled with regret.

They never expected that while Sister Su might be timid, her fighting skills were absolutely top-tier.

Upon entering the haunted house, the pitch-black environment, coupled with the sudden appearance of staff dressed as ghosts,

Su Ningning was so frightened that she closed her eyes and started wildly waving her arms, grabbing and throwing whatever she could get her hands on.

Props, signs, and even the red-clad contestant who was closest to her and kept saying he would protect her were all thrown out as shields by her.

The player in red collided head-on with the charging NPC, both falling to the ground and unable to get up for a long time.

For the rest of the journey, Su Ningning clung tightly to the yellow-clad athlete, stumbling and running forward.

The yellow-clad contestant turned pale with fright and tried desperately to break free, but no matter how hard he pulled or struggled,

He couldn't even pull his arm out of Su Ningning's grasp.

Whenever Su Ningning encountered even the slightest frightening commotion, she would raise her hand and shove the yellow-clad contestant forward.

He was used as a human shield the whole time, blocking and dodging in various ways.

The worst part was that a staff member dressed as a female ghost suddenly jumped out halfway through.

Su Ningning was terrified and grabbed the yellow-clad contestant, pressing him hard against the female ghost's face.

Fortunately, the female ghost NPC reacted quickly and dodged backward, preventing the yellow-clad contestant from being kissed.

The yellow-clad contestant was completely out of it when he thought about how he almost kissed that pale, frightening face.

When the group stumbled out, several boys had bruises all over their bodies, all marks from her pinching.

No one could understand how such a petite girl could be so strong that they couldn't even struggle against her.

This haunted house experience was completely unenjoyable; the only sounds were Su Ningning's screams and the clattering of things being thrown around.

Finally, the NPC inside couldn't take it anymore and came out with a plea for survival: "Please... go... don't come back next time."

The group felt extremely embarrassed.

As a result, when Su Ningning came out, she was fully recovered as if nothing had happened, shaking her wrist:

"Thank goodness, it wasn't that scary! So it seems there are no ghosts in haunted houses!"

The rest of the contestants: ... Who told you that haunted houses are actually haunted?!

After saying that, Su Ningning looked excitedly at the others, "Where are we going to play next?"

The contestants were practically terrified, shaking their heads like rattles:

"No, no more playing! Sister Su, it's getting late, we should head back now!"

After saying that, he turned and ran without waiting for Su Ningning's response.

Su Ningning watched their retreating figures, standing there completely bewildered.
