Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"It looks like the Rockets don't want her near the TV."

Xing crouched down and carefully examined the old CRT television.

The static on the screen continued to crackle, its pale light gleaming under the dim streetlights.

She reached out and touched the screen.

In that instant, Xing's fingers seemed to be sucked in by something.

A powerful pulling sensation suddenly came from deep within the screen, as if an invisible hand had gripped her wrist and was pulling her whole body inward.

Before she could let go, everything went black, and her consciousness was dragged into a blinding white light.

Xing's body remained standing in the same spot, still in the position of touching the screen, but her golden eyes had lost focus, staring blankly ahead.

Peipei was so anxious that she circled around her legs, patted her shoes several times with her little paws, and looked up, letting out a series of urgent barks.

The rocket stood up, and its tail stopped wagging.

Lu Ze called out to Xing several times, but there was no response.

Xing's body was still standing next to him, breathing evenly, but her eyes were completely empty, as if she were sleeping with her eyes open.

"...She was pulled inside?"

The ghost girl stopped mechanically touching the screen, tilted her head to look into the eyes of the starry sky, her lips moved, and her voice was soft and ethereal.

Lu Ze stepped forward, half-squatted down to look her in the eye, and softened his tone.

"Do you know anything?" That was the only question he could ask the ghost girl who had always wanted to enter the television.

However, the ghost girl didn't even glance at him.

Her body began to tremble slightly, shaking from her shoulders to her fingertips, and the sound of her muttering to herself grew faster and faster.

"I want to go on TV... TV... I want to go on... TV... TV... Let me go on TV..." Her voice suddenly rose, and she lost control of her emotions.

Her sudden change startled Lu Ze and Pepe, and even Rocket took a half step back.

The ghost girl became very excited and lunged at the television again, her outstretched fingers seeming as if she wanted to tear off the static.

The next second, Rocket almost reflexively jumped up, slamming his body into her again to deflect her, and barked softly.

The ghost girl's hand struck the rocket's body and bounced back.

Lu Ze shook his head. There was no way to communicate with her in her current mental state.

He glanced at Rocket, who was also looking up at him.

After confirming that the ghost girl had stopped trying to go into the TV, Rocket glanced at Xing's soulless body, then silently squatted down next to the TV, his tail gently brushing the ground.

It's as if it's saying, "Let's wait for her to come back together."

She will come back.

Peipei lay down at Xing's feet, resting her chin on Xing's shoe, refusing to leave.

Lu Ze sighed and sat down against the crooked lamppost.

He took the mask out of his pocket and played with it aimlessly, turning it over and over in his hands.

I thought to myself, I can't just sit around doing nothing and wait.

"Rocket, do you know her name?" Lu Ze asked casually, his gaze falling on Rocket.

He suddenly remembered something and reached into Xing's skirt pocket to take out her phone.

"Woof woof woof!" Rocket Rush Ghost Girl barked a few times.

"Rocket said her name is Perkz." Pepe, lying on Star's shoe, translated in sync.

Lu Ze entered the name into Xing's phone and started searching.

Search results popped up one after another, and he quickly scrolled through the snippets of information online.

Soon, Lu Ze pieced together the general outline of the story from these fragments.

He looked up at Perkz's empty eye sockets and Rocket's small figure who had been sitting by the television for who knows how many years.

Suddenly I realized that this place, Erxiang Paradise, really does live up to its name.

On one hand, there is boundless pleasure; on the other hand, there is unfathomable nothingness.
