Chapter 185 Distress
Chapter 185: Distress
If you were to ask Bai Yanliang about the strangest skill he learned when he was in a mental hospital, it would undoubtedly be lock picking.
During that time, he read a suspense book called "The Genius Locksmith", and he read that book purely because it won the Edgar Allan Poe Award.
Being extremely bored, Bai Yanliang spent some time studying unlocking, and successfully opened most of the door locks in the hospital without any doctors or nurses noticing, and walked around the hospital in the middle of the night.
But this time, the lock he opened was the lock leading to the rooftop.
Generally speaking, if the door lock cannot be broken through violent means, he will consider unlocking it himself, because it is really shameful to open the door by himself.
But considering that kicking the door open made too much noise, Bai Yanliang had no choice but to pick up this skill.
As for the second strange skill, it is rapid descent.
This is not because he read another book called Genius Downhill Master. The reason why he learned this was purely because when he was first imprisoned in the mental hospital, he forced himself to learn it by thinking about escaping every day.
Now, he went up to the rooftop holding a bundle of rappelling ropes that he picked up from the sports brand area on the third floor.
After unlocking the door, Bai Yanliang didn't forget to close the door. This was a good habit.
Logically speaking, the rooftop of Crescent Department Store can be considered a place to hide, right?
Bai Yanliang nodded with conviction. Judging from the fact that he was still alive, this did not violate the rules.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. In this dark night, it was like endless thick ink smeared heavily on the sky, and not a single star could be seen at all.
On the contrary, the moon behind the building opposite looked surprisingly bright.
Bai Yanliang came to the rooftop and looked downstairs.
Under the street lights on the opposite street, he could clearly see Li Mu and his party waiting for them.
Wait... is that one?
Diagonally opposite this building, in a relatively dark corner, there is another figure.
Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Bai Yanliang was extremely convinced by the familiar clothes.
Xu Zhifei?
Since she is here, why doesn't she come out to meet everyone?
This woman is really a weirdo.
Well, he doesn't have the right to accuse others of being weird.
Bai Yanliang tied up the rappel rope and sat down on the rooftop.
He organized his thoughts.
In fact, part of him agreed with Song Que's thoughts, but part of him still had doubts.
That is the relationship between the real evil ghost and the person who is a "ghost".
If Song Que's idea is to follow, then the person who becomes a "ghost" is exactly the safest person.
He doesn't need to find the hiding person at all, the real ghost will help him do everything he needs to do in the game.
In this way, if the hiding person cannot be found, he will not be punished, but the real evil ghost will be punished.
Then...the meaning of being a "ghost" disappears.
This kind of meaningless thing shouldn't happen in the rules of the fog set.
As for the recognition part, it is Song Que's speculation about the rules of the game.
Bai Yanliang also believes that since this is a hide-and-seek game, the real ghost will also play the role of a hider. If it is found, then the entire death game will really be over.
Therefore, Bai Yanliang decided to take a look for himself what happened during the countdown stage, which was their hiding stage.
There is the real contradiction there. If you don't run away and hide, you can discover the relationship between the evil ghost and the "ghost", but you will most likely die.
And if you escape upstairs, you won't be able to see what's going on there.
Therefore, Bai Yanliang came up with a way.
He quietly turned his phone out of photography mode and placed it in the corner opposite the entrance.
Counting the time, the ghost should have started looking around by now.
Bai Yanliang didn't want to go down directly, after the first round. He doubted that the ghost would have any new abilities. Anyway, since he had a better way, why not use it?
This method is to rappel.
It has to be said that this is a method that ordinary people cannot do.
The exterior walls of the entire building are made of tempered glass, but the corners of the building are made of solid walls.
In other words, if you slide down from the edge of the building, you will not be discovered by the ghosts on the floor.
Of course... they will be discovered by Li Mu and the others across the street.
But Bai Yanliang didn't think they would be stupid, and he was so excited when he saw him rappelling.
Probably not?
Bai Yanliang pulled the speed rope, took a breath, put the soles of his feet on the corner of the rooftop, jumped lightly, drew a beautiful arc with his body, and slid down slowly.
At this time, Li Mu and others who were staying on the opposite street immediately spotted the "Spider-Man" sliding down quickly at the corner of the building.
"That's...Bai Yanliang?"
Soon, Bai Yanliang's figure was recognized by others.
Yu Sheng clenched his fists subconsciously, a little worried and a little unbelievable.
She looked at the familiar and agile figure, and she never imagined that Bai Yanliang, who looked quite frail, could actually do this kind of exercise?
"That kid...is too courageous."
Li Mu also whispered, and then he immediately turned back and warned: "Let's not make any noise, so as not to disturb him. Moreover, he has chosen such a dangerous method. It seems that the situation inside is not optimistic anymore." Maybe, he is being chased by ghosts now.”
The rest of the people either nodded or were silent, but they all maintained absolute silence.
If Bai Yanliang knew what Li Mu was talking about, he would definitely know whether to laugh or cry.
I'm fine, why am I being chased by ghosts?
The reason why I chose rappelling is because this road hanging outside the wall is safe...
However, just as Bai Yanliang was sliding down at a steady speed in an orderly manner, suddenly! The next moment his body jumped up, a cold night wind suddenly blew!
Oops!
Bai Yanliang secretly thought that something was wrong. He was tilted by the swift night wind while he was high in the air. It was difficult to maintain his balance and he immediately swung towards the glass wall on the right!
"Careful!"
Yu Sheng subconsciously shouted out, but suddenly realized it and quickly covered his mouth.
But she didn't have to worry at all, because her voice was not as loud as Bai Yanliang's smashing on the glass at this moment.
"Bang——"
Bai Yanliang exerted force on his waist and abdomen and finally adjusted his posture, but the soles of his feet stepped heavily on the glass wall.
And this... is the fourth floor.
Such a huge movement immediately spread in the quiet building.
Bai Yanliang was just about to turn around and move to the angular solid wall of the building again, when out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally saw a completely rotten face through the glass!
Almost in an instant, the face disappeared, and Bai Yanliang saw it jumping three meters and quickly heading towards the top floor!
It's coming...
No, you have to go down to the first floor immediately!
Bai Yanliang just wanted to adjust his posture and quickly slid down, but God's calculations were not as good as those of others.
He never imagined that the night breeze that shuttled between the buildings would not only not stop at all, but would actually become stronger!
He struggled to keep his balance and not let his body be blown around. It was very difficult, let alone sliding down.
At this time, Bai Yanliang suddenly felt a malicious gaze.
He raised his head and looked at the rooftop above his head.
There... a completely rotten face poked out, staring at him hanging on the wall on the fourth floor!
