Chapter 170 Attrition
Chapter 170: Attrition
However, plans never keep up with changes.
That night, Bai Yanliang, Yu Sheng, and Li Mu, who had had dinner together, were just about to talk about each other's thoughts in detail, when an almost suffocating feeling of fear suddenly surged into their hearts.
Li Mu's expression suddenly changed: "Is it Wuji? No...it's not even a month yet, right?"
Yu Sheng pressed her heart. The violent heartbeat made her almost breathless. The burning sensation in her palms was also extremely obvious. "Open the door quickly..."
Li Mu quickly opened the door, pushed Yu Sheng and disappeared in front of Bai Yanliang.
This time, Bai Yanliang clearly saw the difference between himself and them.
When Li Mu opened the door, what he and Yu Sheng saw was the white fog, while what Bai Yanliang saw was just an ordinary yard and a little black cat taking a nap on the stone table. .
When Li Mu and Yu Sheng crossed the door frame, their figures suddenly disappeared.
Feeling the throbbing in his heart, Bai Yanliang took off the silver key hanging from his neck. He first closed the door and then opened it again.
This time, he saw...
Li Mu, Yu Sheng, Feng Xiuxue, Lu Guo... many people have already appeared in the fog.
Is it really different?
Bai Yanliang took out the key, hung it around his neck again, and walked into Wuji.
……
Inside the fog.
Surprisingly, everyone seems to be a little slow this time. Bai Yanliang always comes in late, but this time, even he has entered the fog, and there are still many people missing.
At first, everyone didn't care. However, when the time slowly approached three minutes and exceeded three minutes, everyone was stunned.
"Why are there so few people? They have been here for more than three minutes. Do they want to die?"
"Could it be...we are the only ones who have received the call from Wuji?"
"No, something happened to them." Lu Guo's voice interrupted everyone's discussion.
He looked at everyone and said seriously: "A few days ago, I bumped into a water ghost in real life and almost died. I want to ask everyone, have you had a similar experience?"
"Yes." Gu Pingsheng was the first to answer, "Three days ago, in the hospital where I work, I accidentally went up to the sixth floor, but there are only five floors in the entire hospital. The sixth floor I accidentally entered... Very scary.”
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Pingsheng. As the chief surgeon, he possessed a calmness that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve. But even he couldn't help but shudder when he recalled what he saw on the sixth floor and didn't want to talk more.
"Me too." Qi Nian looked at everyone, "I met a bride wearing a red wedding dress on the way to get off work. My friends couldn't see her, only I could see her..."
"Interesting." Song Que flicked his finger and threw a coin into the air. "The night before yesterday, someone called my name outside the window. I ignored it because I live on... the twenty-third floor."
Yu Sheng glanced at Bai Yanliang, then at everyone, "I've encountered this too..."
Bai Yanliang looked at her with some surprise, only to hear Yu Sheng say: "In the past few days, I can always vaguely hear my brother calling me, but he has obviously disappeared..."
So, Yu Sheng might have thought that this was an illusion caused by being too worried about Ren Wudao, but occasionally he could understand it once or twice, but there was something wrong with it 'always'.
Then, everyone present briefly explained the illusory events they encountered.
Just as Lu Guo guessed, everyone encountered illusory events.
Actually... it's not exactly the same. There is one person who doesn't encounter any strange things.
Bai Yanliang.
But he always kept a low profile and didn't talk much, so Lu Guo automatically ignored him. "It's obvious. Those who didn't come may never show up again." Lu Guo's voice spread, causing a sudden silence around him.
The fog collection is already mostly empty.
Bai Yanliang knew most of the people present.
Li Mu, Feng Xiuxue, Du Shangjing, Zhou Li, Lu Guo, Song Que, Li Yuejun, Gu Pingsheng, Qi Nian, Jiang Li, Yu Wenxuan, Xu Zhifei...
After the last mission, there were only thirty-one people left, and now there were only eighteen people left in the fog.
If according to Lu Guo's statement, the thirteen people who did not come may have died in reality...
It sounds like a simple number, but if you think about it carefully, that's thirteen lives.
Bai Yanliang raised his head and looked at the pair of scarlet narrow light groups hanging "above" the fog. Life was really too fragile in the face of this unknown and strange force.
He was so fragile that he didn't know when he would die quietly like this.
But unlike most people, Bai Yanliang is not afraid of death, nor does he resist death.
Soon, in the foggy white void, blood-red names appeared one by one.
Qi Nian, Song Que, Zhou Li, Bai Yanliang, Yuan Jie, Yang Muwan.
Is there me again...
This time, even the other selected people couldn't help but turn to look at Bai Yanliang.
This can no longer be described as bad luck.
There must be some secret in Bai Yanliang's body!
Yes, Bai Yanliang does have a secret. Others don't know it, but they can't hide it from Wuji. Bai Yanliang has a key that has already been formed.
However, Bai Yanliang felt confused about this.
If the key is the reason why she is always chosen, then there is another person who should also be chosen every time. She is Feng Xiuxue.
However, the fact is that Feng Xiuxue was also looking at him in disbelief at this moment.
It was obvious that Feng Xiuxue was completely puzzled as to why Bai Yanliang was so "unlucky".
Bai Yanliang had a look of helplessness on his face. No matter what, he had to make a statement. What he wanted to express was, I don't know what's going on. If you like it, believe it. If you don't, believe it.
In fact, Bai Yanliang has been able to determine that the key left by Yan Ren is a "unique" existence among keys, at least... it is different from Feng Xiuxue.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? At present, it is mostly bad.
Not only did it attract the attention of the mysterious man to Bai Yanliang, but it also always assigned him some horrific and bizarre tasks.
The six people came out. Bai Yanliang glanced at his "companions" this time. Except for Song Que and Zhou Li, he didn't even say a word to the other three.
However, Qi Nian knew that, after all, she entered Wuji on the same day as him, and not counting Feng Xiuxue, she was the "first" to use the rules to get rid of the unsolved ghost.
As for Yuan Jie and Yang Muwan, although they have never been in contact with each other, since they can survive so many times and escape the attacks of real ghosts, it can be seen that they are not ordinary people.
Bai Yanliang is very optimistic that this mission should be quite easy.
However, when the explanation appeared, everyone was dumbfounded.
