Chapter 219 The Future
Chapter 219 The Future
Lying on the bed, Bai Yanliang never closed his eyes.
The little black cat was curled up on the pillow, seemingly looking at him, not sleeping either.
In fact, his sudden decision to leave was not because he was angry.
But because... Yang Wanlong's secret was discovered by Bai Yanliang.
There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.
But there was always something about Yang Wanlong that made Bai Yanliang extremely confused.
That's... Yang Wanlong's trust in him.
According to Yang Wanlong, he believed that Bai Yanliang was not the real murderer of Bai Yanren because he had witnessed a horrific scene when he was young, as if possessed by a demon. But is the truth really what he said?
This question has always remained in Bai Yanliang's heart.
Even if Yang Wanlong did not lie in this matter, this should not be the source of his trust in Bai Yanliang.
In Bai Yanliang's view, Yang Wanlong's kindness to him is more like a kind of compensation, a kind of apology...
He is actually a very irritable person, but every time he faces Bai Yanliang, he is always able to quickly calm down his emotions.
If the two of them didn't look alike, Bai Yanliang would even suspect that he was the father he had never met.
This kind of doubt has always existed, and it cannot be explained by the word "good person" at all.
Until...this incident occurred.
The puppet was obviously coming for himself and Yang Wanlong.
If...it was just for himself, Bai Yanliang would understand.
After all, he has always had a key left by Yan Ren on his body. There are some people in the dark who want to seize his key. He has already known it from various channels.
Even Feng Xiuxue and Xun Weimo were the ones who wanted to get his key.
It's just that these two people's methods are gentler.
By framing the case, Puppet can easily make Bai Yanliang lose the trust and protection of the police.
This is understandable.
But there was a false bomb hidden in the training annex.
And a real bomb tied to Yang Zhirong's body, but it cannot be explained.
Yang Zhirong and Yang Yiyi are both relatives of Yang Wanlong. The puppet's purpose is obvious. He wants Yang Wanlong to taste the feeling of losing a relative.
Why would he do this? Does he know Yang Wanlong?
This special method of revenge is just like Yang Wanlong once killing the puppet's relatives.
All kinds of unreasonable things are connected with each other, and Bai Yanliang's guess is added.
He came to an extremely startling conclusion.
Yang Wanlong, a puppet from Bai Yan, was a member of the same "Fog Ji" ten years ago.
Maybe the three of them even had a good relationship.
Of course, maybe it's not just the three of them. The organization called Dark Abyss has been committing various crimes. This is not just to vent their perverted emotions and satisfy their own pleasure. They have a purpose.
What can they gain through horrific and bizarre crimes.
Regarding this point, Bai Yanliang also has some guesses.
Both Xun Weimo and Xu Zhifei experienced abnormally rapid aging. The root cause of this situation was because they used some power of the key.
In Bai Yanliang's speculation, a key should have two abilities.
A kind of ability, like Xun Weimo and Xu Zhifei, will quickly age after use, and must be replenished by the corroding ghost to restore the power. Each key to this power seems to be different.
The other kind was the power used by the person Bai Yanliang and Feng Xiuxue met at that time, who was called a desperado by Feng Xiuxue. That kind of power can open a world, build a world, and take away the opponent's life, but the price of failure... is an extremely terrible death. Bai Yanliang remembered that when that person died, his mouth was filled with dense long hair, which was continuously pulled out of his stomach. It looked... very much like he died from the backlash of a ghost in the key's "world".
The people of the Dark Abyss should use the first ability. After using it, their life span will be greatly consumed. If they don't replenish it with the corrosive ghost, they will soon die of old age.
But... "Ghosts" are not so easy to obtain, but they can still use the key's first ability without any scruples.
Therefore, Bai Yanliang guessed that the group of people should have mastered some kind of method of "making" ghosts.
Although it sounds incredible, considering the strange cases and twisted shadows that have occurred these days, this is the most reasonable speculation.
They regard "ghosts" as consumables, so they need to constantly create death and create "ghosts" to support their first power of using the key.
But...why do they have to research the keys left behind?
Could it be that the first ability of Yanren Key is so amazing?
This may well be the case.
But it's a pity that Bai Yanliang doesn't know how to use the power of the key, and he has already promised Xun Weimo that the key now belongs to Xun Weimo.
Bai Yanliang's biggest doubt is their purpose of collecting keys.
It seems like something terrible will happen if you hold multiple keys.
What it is specifically cannot be speculated at present.
In short, Bai Yanliang's decision now is to hide in the dark, and then...find a way to get a key of his own.
The best way is undoubtedly to be the only one who survives when the fog set ends.
Xu Zhifei dreamed of exactly this scenario. If no accident happened, Bai Yanliang would really be the only one to survive.
And everyone else will die.
Are they all going to die?
A figure flashed through Bai Yanliang's mind.
Li Mu, Yu Sheng, Song Que, Du Shangjing, Feng Xiuxue, Li Yuejun, Gu Pingsheng, Qi Nian, Jiang Li, Yu Wenxuan...
Some are life-and-death acquaintances, and some are just casual acquaintances.
If the future develops according to Xu Zhifei's dream, none of these people will survive.
But... Judging from the information currently available, at least two of these people experienced the end of the "fog gathering" for the first time.
The first one is Feng Xiuxue. She told Bai Yanliang frankly that she was the winner of the last round of the game.
This is a very interesting statement. It seems that in her last experience, that group of people regarded everything as a game, and they were the players, but the price of failure in the game... was their lives.
The other one was Xu Zhifei.
Originally, Bai Yanliang thought that her precognitive dreams were really an innate talent.
But now it seems that that should be the first ability of the key she possesses.
In other words, this is not the first time she has entered the "Fog Collection".
Or there is another possibility.
Like Bai Yanliang, she got a key from somewhere, but...she also got the method to use the key.
Which answer is the answer can only be known later.
Bai Yanliang retracted his thoughts and suddenly felt the little black cat's tail brushing him gently.
He gently touched its head and said: "I'm fine."
Yes...it's okay.
No one knows what the future will be like until tomorrow comes.
All Bai Yanliang has and can do is to stay calm enough to survive in this cruel and terrifying world.
Until the day when everything becomes clear.
New volume tomorrow
