Chapter 8: Grasping
Chapter 8: Grasping
When he touched Li Yuejun's shoulder, Bai Yanliang felt her fear more clearly.
Her whole body was shaking like chaff, her face was pale and bloodless, and her pupils were trembling violently.
However, after Li Yuejun blinked, he looked under Bai Yanliang's bed...it was pitch black and there was nothing there.
However, Li Yuejun, who has experienced two curses, knows very well that this is not a dazzle on her part, nor is it an illusion.
"No... I'm fine." Li Yuejun forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, but his left hand tightly grasped Bai Yanliang's arm. The power that a person subconsciously unleashes when he is afraid is very powerful.
Bai Yanliang's right arm was bleeding from her sharp nails, but his expression remained unchanged.
Just said: "That's good, let's go find them."
Then, without looking back, he just closed the door.
Li Yuejun finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she came to her senses completely, Bai Yanliang had already taken her to the elevator.
The elevator came down from the sixth floor and stopped in front of the two of them. There was no one inside.
Bai Yanliang entered the elevator with a normal expression, and Li Yuejun quickly followed.
Only then did she realize that she had scratched Bai Yanliang's right arm.
"You... why didn't you remind me?" Li Yuejun looked at Bai Yanliang with some embarrassment and his tone was harsh.
But Bai Yanliang shook his head. He didn't even look at the scratched hand. He just wiped the blood casually with his clothes and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Li Yuejun was startled and looked at him blankly.
She knew very well what kind of person she was, and the three months since she came to Wuji had almost driven her crazy. Her emotions were becoming more and more intense, and she had more and more enemies.
Although she is not ugly, in the final analysis, the people trapped in the curse are just a bunch of dying people.
No one is interested in, or tolerates, a piece of meat that is on the verge of an emotional meltdown.
I have to say that Bai Yanliang saw it accurately. She was indeed lonely, but because of this, fear and loneliness made her temper more and more perverse and weird, forming a vicious cycle.
There was silence in the elevator.
Bai Yanliang glanced at the button. This hotel actually had six floors.
He was not sure whether "Xu Zhian" was still on the first floor, but the situation was different from before. By this time, it was already dawn.
Although I couldn't tell what specific changes had occurred, and I couldn't be sure whether the brightening of the sky had an impact on "him", but... the atmosphere of this hotel had at least changed from suffocating and depressing to a little more relaxed.
Bai Yanliang didn't think night was a good time if he didn't launch the investigation during the day.
"Ding——"
The sound of arriving on the first floor woke Li Yuejun up. The woman looked at Bai Yanliang with a strange look on her face, as if she wanted to say something.
But seeing that Bai Yanliang had already stepped out of the elevator, she quickly followed him, but she didn't speak after all.
The first floor is a pretty good lobby, and this kind of decoration is already very good.
A waitress in her thirties walked up to her and asked: "Sir, Miss, do you need to prepare breakfast?"
Her attitude was very professional and her smile was just right, but there was no hint of joy in her tone. Instead, there was a hint of malice.
Bai Yanliang is very sensitive to emotional reactions. Although his own emotional reactions are very weak, this does not prevent him from observing others.
Moreover, judging from the other party's name, the two of them seemed to have just arrived here.
"Well, please prepare two breakfasts for us." In line with the principle of eating nothing, Bai Yanliang responded with a smile.
Just as the waiter nodded, Bai Yanliang suddenly seemed to remember something and asked casually: "By the way, do you have anything here..."
Before he finished speaking, the waiter's expression had completely changed.
"Sir, if you are a reporter, please leave immediately, otherwise I will call security immediately." Her expression was ugly, and she stared at Bai Yanliang with her squinty eyes, as if she wanted to see him through.
Bai Yan's conscience moved. This attitude of not having three hundred taels of silver here was simply too artificial.
It was as if the other party deliberately wanted to tell him what happened here.
But on the surface, Bai Yanliang shook his head and said, "No, I'm not a reporter. I'm just here to spend a holiday. By the way, what I wanted to ask just now is, can you change my pillow for me? Facts Yes, I didn’t sleep very well last night.”
The waiter's expression was very strange. Her eyes lingered strangely on Bai Yanliang and Li Yuejun, but one of them looked at her indifferently, and the other lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, she said: "Okay, I will change the pillow for you. I hope you can sleep peacefully."
Her words seemed to mean something, but Bai Yanliang looked like he didn't understand. He looked around. This time, he saw three people.
Xu Zhian, Feng Xinghan, Jiang Li.
Xu Zhian looked exactly the same as those he had seen before. He was dressed as a clerk and his hair was meticulously combed. He was not very old, but his waist was a bit stooped.
Feng Xinghan seems to have been engaged in manual labor for a long time. He is not tall but very strong. He is about the same age as Yang Wanlong, but his body looks better than Yang Wanlong, who works as a criminal police officer.
As for Jiang Li, it was a little strange that Bai Yanliang couldn't tell his gender.
He has short hair, a white shirt on his upper body, and a pair of casual jeans on his lower body. He is young, seems to be less than twenty years old, and his eyes are scanning Bai Yanliang unscrupulously.
Bai Yanliang and Li Yuejun came to the sofa by the window in the hall and finally joined the three of them.
"Sit down." Xu Zhian's voice was a little tired and he looked at the two of them and said.
Bai Yanliang's expression remained unchanged and he sat on the sofa opposite them.
This experience is really novel. After all, not long ago, a "Xu Zhian" who looked exactly like him knocked on his door.
Thinking about it now, if he had opened the door just now, this game of life and death might have ended immediately.
"I didn't expect that you, a newcomer, would be the stalker this time." Xu Zhian seemed to have not rested well, and his voice was very hoarse.
A grudger?
Bai Yanliang looked at the four people with doubtful eyes. This was indeed a new term he had just heard.
"Do you still remember the three people whose names turned red first during the fog gathering?" Feng Xinghan suddenly spoke.
Fog?
It seems that this is what they call the strange place behind the door.
Bai Yanliang nodded and turned his eyes to this sturdy middle-aged man.
"The so-called stalker, as the name suggests, is the person who is most likely to be stalked by evil spirits. For example, now, if the probability is 100, our probability of being targeted by evil spirits is 50%, and you are 9%. Ten, and when we are discovered by it at the same time as you, the probability of you being targeted will become 100%.”
Feng Xinghan didn't mean to take pleasure in his misfortune. After all, whether it was 50% or 90%, the final outcome was only life or death. There was nothing to be thankful for.
"However, it is not completely without benefits. As long as the stalker survives the current mission safely, he will definitely not be selected by the fog set for the next mission."
Bai Yanliang nodded in understanding. At this time, two waiters came over with breakfast.
"Gentlemen and ladies, this is your breakfast."
