Chapter 99 Weird Change
Chapter 99: Weird Change
Bai Yanliang sat quietly in the yard, with a medical book borrowed from Gao Fei on the stone table.
Poe lay on his lap and took a nap. The injuries on his body had almost healed. After all, half a month had passed since the corpse dumping case.
Bai Yanliang didn't care too much about how the case was closed in the end. The murderer was already dead, and there was no evidence in this case.
Where did the blood in the park go? Why is the body's level of decomposition so high?
These two questions overwhelmed the police. Although everyone racked their brains, they still could not explain those phenomena.
It is worth mentioning that Ren Wudao did not leave after confirming that the murderer was dead like Bai Yanliang did. He seemed to intend to figure out the cause of these problems.
But...he was destined to be disappointed.
All this cannot be explained by science at all. Even if Bai Yanliang tells it all, they may not believe it. On the contrary... there is a high probability that he will be sent back to the mental hospital again.
Bai Yanliang touched the little black cat, which became more and more attached to him recently.
The little black cat shook its tail comfortably and purred slightly.
Bai Yanliang smiled and took out his mobile phone.
Except for necessary summary of fog collection tasks, he generally does not speak in the group.
It was the same this time. He was looking at another page - a chat room invited by Li Mu with only seven people in total.
Li Mu, Feng Xiuxue, Yu Wenxuan, Gu Pingsheng, Song Que, Xu Zhifei, and him... Bai Yanliang.
This chat room is different from Wuji's. Since he joined, no one has said a word, not even the most basic welcome.
But today, someone sent a line of text.
Yu Wenxuan: "Today, I received a call, and the number was my own mobile phone number."
The chat room was silent for a few seconds, and several replies suddenly appeared.
Li Mu: "I also received the call the day before yesterday. The other party didn't make any sound, but the number was my own mobile phone."
Song Que: "Same."
Feng Xiuxue: "I received it a week ago."
Gu Pingsheng: "I received it too, a week ago."
Bai Yanliang looked at the lines of text and immediately thought of himself. He... received that call in the early morning of the day he just left Wuji.
"Eighteen days ago, I received that call."
Bai Yanliang thought for a while and entered a line of text.
His statement silenced the chat room for a few seconds, and then the last person spoke.
Xu Zhifei: "Eighteen days ago, I didn't answer the call and hung up directly."
Xu Zhifei's approach was unexpected. Among the seven, she was the only one who didn't answer the phone.
"Something's wrong."
The person who sent this line of text was Gu Pingsheng.
"I'll go confirm." As soon as Li Mu spoke, his message popped up in Wuji's chat room.
"Have you received any strange phone calls recently?"
Li Mu's appeal is unquestionable.
Soon, everyone started replying.
"Yes! A number exactly like mine called, about...a week ago?"
"So... I seem to have received one, the day before yesterday?"
"I am today! I just received that call not long ago!"
"..."
There were a lot of comments in the Wuji chat room, and soon everyone responded.
It is now clear that this... is not a joke, but a real illusory event.
There was a chill in everyone's heart for no reason.
At that time... who was the person who called me?
This is not Wuji’s mission...this is in the real world!
How could this happen collectively?
The chat room fell into a strange silence for a brief period, and no one sent any more text.
After a long time, a two-word reply popped up. "Five groups."
The spokesperson is Xu Zhifei.
"What do you mean?" someone asked in confusion.
But this time, Xu Zhifei didn't answer.
"Date, please count the date when you received the call." Gu Pingsheng replied.
His words woke everyone up.
Yes, everyone in Wuji received the call from an unknown source, and the time when they received the call was different in the morning and evening, but... there were only five time points in total.
Eighteen days ago, twelve days ago, a week ago, the day before yesterday, today!
"Does this...mean anything?"
"There are currently thirty-five people in Wuji. If the people who received the call on the same day are divided into groups, there will be exactly five groups, with seven people in each group." Zhou Li's reply also popped up.
What Zhou Li said is correct.
In fact, several people have discovered that the calls received at different times have divided everyone in Wuji into five different groups.
But... what is its purpose in doing this?
No one knows yet.
At this moment, a strong palpitation suddenly occurred.
Bai Yanliang felt as if his heart was being pinched tightly by a hand. The pain was excruciating and his breathing was rapid and unbearable.
Even though he had a good tolerance for pain, he couldn't help but sweat profusely at this moment.
"Well——"
Bai Yanliang pressed his heart and let out a muffled groan.
Poe was awakened by his movement and jumped from his lap, but behaved strangely.
This little black cat, who was very affectionate to Bai Yanliang, was hunched over, grinning, its fur all over its body was standing up, and it was staring at Bai Yanliang with a pair of black cat eyes.
But at this moment, Bai Yanliang couldn't notice the strangeness of the little black cat at all. Fortunately, it was him who was experiencing this heartbreaking pain at this moment.
What he didn't know was that almost at the same time, everyone in the fog felt the same unbearable heart pain as him.
The pain was similar to burning, but compared to the body, this burning feeling was more like a mark on the soul.
Their performance was much worse than Bai Yanliang's. After all, not everyone has a strong tolerance for pain.
The painful feeling lasted for nearly three minutes.
In the past three minutes, Poe did not dare to get close to Bai Yanliang. It bowed its back and made a dull threatening sound in its throat.
But if you look closely, you will find that this little black cat is trembling slightly all over.
It's afraid.
It seemed to see something in Bai Yanliang that made it fearful.
If it weren't for Bai Yanliang, it would have turned around and ran away.
The stubborn cat was trembling and furry, but still refused to take a step back.
Finally, Bai Yanliang felt the burning pain begin to subside.
But at the same time, there was a strong burning sensation in another place, but this time, the burning sensation passed away in a flash.
Bai Yanliang spread out his left hand, and a regular, perfect, as black as ink circle was imprinted on his palm.
It is not big and hollow, and because it is just a simple circle, it cannot be said to be mysterious.
But... when Bai Yanliang looked at the circle in his palm, an extremely strange feeling finally emerged in his heart.
"Dong...dong dong..."
The heartbeat is speeding up and the pupils are gradually dilating.
Bai Yanliang touched his heart, which no longer hurt, with an extremely unfamiliar look on his face.
If you are someone who knows Bai Yanliang, you will definitely find this incredible.
Because the look on Bai Yanliang's face was...fear.
