Chapter 19 Twist
Chapter 19 Twist
Regarding Jiang Li's choice, Bai Yanliang felt a subtle and strange emotion that he could detect for the first time.
This feeling...is strange?
Especially when this girl pulled the corner of his clothes without hesitation and hid behind him.
This strange emotion is amplified again...
After hard judgment, Bai Yanliang finally determined that this emotion should be... the happiness of being trusted.
But...it feels pretty good.
Bai Yanliang glanced down at her, didn't say anything, but looked towards the elevator.
That's right.
Jiang Li made the right bet, the Bai Yanliang who came up from the stairs was the real Bai Yanliang.
As for the man in the elevator, his eyes were shining with undisguised ferocity at the moment.
Then...the elevator door closed.
Seeing "him" disappear, Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She also saw the look in the eyes of that "Bai Yanliang", and now she was finally sure that the guy next to her was the real Bai Yanliang.
It's just that... Jiang Li felt a throbbing in her heart that she was ashamed to admit. She didn't expect... that the real Bai Yanliang would actually come to save her.
And at such great risk.
However, if Bai Yanliang's true thoughts were known to her, this girl might be disappointed.
After all, saving her was secondary. The main reason was to confirm Bai Yanliang's own idea.
Now, Bai Yanliang was finally able to confirm that idea.
"He" retreated again.
In front of two humans, "he" once again chose to retreat.
This means that this ghost with the ability to disguise is unable to kill people for some reason!
Perhaps because of the ability to disguise himself as a human, he has lost other weird abilities, and even his strength is almost the same as that of a human.
Or, what restrictions have been imposed on "him" that prevent "him" from attacking humans at all.
All in all, this is a good thing, a good thing... that can allow Bai Yanliang to do more dangerous actions.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanliang couldn't help but feel a little happier.
He looked down at Jiang Li and asked with a smile: "Take the elevator or the stairs, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Li glared at him and said, "Stairs."
Bai Yanliang nodded, took the lead and turned towards the stairs. Although to him, there was no difference between the elevator and the stairs. He had already confirmed that this ghost was basically no threat. He even thought that if he had known earlier, he should have given him the medicine when he first woke up. "He" opened the door. In that case... I should be able to get a lot of information from "him".
At this thought, Bai Yanliang actually felt a little regretful.
But having said that, if it were really early in the morning, he would still make the same choice.
Looking at Bai Yanliang's side face when he was deep in thought, Jiang Li suddenly felt a little surprised.
Until this moment, she couldn't believe that the newcomer in front of her who had just entered Wuji really came to save her.
However... only newcomers and fools would do such stupid things in the fog...
But Jiang Li doesn't hate fools, after all... Only the existence of those guys who are stupid enough to harm themselves and others can make everyone in the fog feel that they are still a "person", a living person...
……
Xu Zhian is following someone.
To be precise, a waiter. Just now he received shocking news from Bai Yanliang, that is, Zhang Qiao was dead.
And he has turned into a ghost, hiding under Bai Yanliang's bed.
So...where is Ding Lei's wife Li Yuhua? Where is Zhang Qiao’s husband?
These two people... disappeared so mysteriously?
And Ding Lei, because today is Sunday, he seems to be staying at home and not showing up.
Mysteries flashed through Xu Zhian's mind one after another, but he was not prepared to sort them out one by one. He just needed to do his own thing.
This is the valuable experience summed up by those who can survive in the fog.
Don't be opportunistic and waste time waiting for the deadline to arrive. Don’t go too deep into it, you will get trapped in layers of fog and never be able to get out.
Both of these will kill you quickly.
Therefore, it is the best choice to explore different directions each.
After the investigation just now, Xu Zhian not only learned that Zhang Qiao's husband's name was Ding Peng, but also the waiter who was responsible for the couple - Jiang Chaojie.
Ding Peng is the younger brother of Ding Lei, the owner of Ruyi Hotel, and Jiang Chaojie is the waiter specially arranged by Ding Lei to take care of Ding Peng and his wife.
But... now it seems that something is not right with this Jiang Chaojie.
"Jie...Brother Jie, should we call the police? Sooner or later, this matter will come to light, such as...if..."
Xu Zhian hid in the corner, listening to the deep man's voice coming from the corridor on the other side.
It seems that...it mentioned calling the police?
"Don't be nosy." Jiang Chaojie looked at the thin man in front of him with a gloomy look, "Just pretend you haven't seen anything. We still have a sum of money to take. If you are nosy..."
"But...but..." The thin man in front of him stammered and seemed very frightened.
He was wearing the same clothes as Jiang Chaojie and seemed to be a hotel staff.
Jiang Chaojie stared at him impatiently. The thin and small man in front of him was called Wang Sheng, and he was very timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
"Old... the landlady has been left there for almost a week. The weather is hot. Logically speaking, the odor should have been discovered long ago, but... but why..." At this point, Wang Sheng seemed to suddenly think of Something happened, and he said tremblingly: "No... Could it be that the boss's wife turned into a ghost?"
"That's enough!" Jiang Chaojie pushed hard, held Wang Sheng's shoulders and pushed him against the wall, and cursed: "What the hell? Shut up! When the time comes... take the money and leave, we Everything I saw was rotten to my stomach!”
Wang Sheng was still timid after all, and he himself was a person without any ideas, otherwise he would have called the police long ago.
After listening to Jiang Chaojie's words, he nodded repeatedly and did not dare to say another word.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Chaojie finally let go of his hand.
He frowned, glanced at his palm, and said, "Why are your shoulders so wet?"
Wet?
Wang Sheng turned to look at his shoulder and saw that it was indeed wet.
He scratched his head in confusion: "I...I don't know. Could it be that the ceiling is leaking?"
Having said this, Wang Sheng subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the ceiling.
Suddenly, his eyes widened and his face turned pale!
The ceiling had been soaked with water at some point, and...Wang Sheng could clearly see...the wet spots actually formed a clear, pale woman's face!
Wang Sheng was so frightened that his feet softened and he fell to the ground with a plop. The blood all over his body faded away. He pointed at the ceiling with trembling fingers and shouted in horror:
"Ghost... ghost, there is a ghost!"
