Chapter 234 Exchange
Chapter 234 Exchange
Subtle gasps echoed in the alley. Yu Wenxuan ran at the front, followed closely by Jiang Li and Lu Guo.
The three of them ran away like this for nearly three minutes before finally stopping and hiding behind an old house.
Yu Wenxuan was right. There were indeed many places to hide on this road. Whether it was escaping or dealing with ghosts, it was far better than Bai Yanliang's direction.
The path Bai Yanliang chose, once the evil spirits entered, he would definitely die as he had nowhere to hide.
Yu Wenxuan leaned against the old house and said to Jiang Li and Lu Guo: "It's okay to rest, but don't gasp."
"Yeah."
Lu Guo and Jiang Li nodded in unison. Not making unnecessary noise was the key to surviving the fog mission.
Therefore, although Yu Wenxuan's attitude towards him was extremely bad just now, Jiang Li did not resent him in his heart.
She knew that it was indeed her problem.
In fact, she was not as timid as she is now. Unlike most people, after experiencing life and death again and again, she not only did not become numb, but became more cautious and cautious. The slightest abnormality can touch her weak nerves and make her develop Huge response.
Jiang Li herself knew that this behavior was enough to kill her, but there was nothing she could do.
What can be corrected is called a shortcoming.
What cannot be changed is called a weakness.
Having been on the edge of life and death all year round, her increasingly sensitive and fragile nerves are her biggest weakness.
"Where...are we going next?"
A trace of fear flashed in Lu Guo's eyes. He looked at Yu Wenxuan and asked in a low voice.
Human beings are inert. When the people around them are in the same situation as themselves and their abilities are superior to themselves, human beings are always willing to place their hopes on others.
Lu Guo's behavior at this moment is a typical example.
In fact, he himself also has quite good abilities, otherwise, he would not have survived the previous missions.
Yu Wenxuan did not answer Lu Guo's words. He made a silent gesture and listened.
"Keep your voice down, it seems to be coming."
Jiang Li and Lu Guo felt nervous, imitating Yu Wenxuan and sticking to the wall of the old house, not daring to make any noise.
Two or three seconds later, clear footsteps appeared.
The three of them clung to the wall and held their breath...
……
Right.
Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhifei fled here.
Although he did not ask for Xu Zhifei's opinion at the time, based on his understanding of Xu Zhifei, if she did not agree to take the right path, she would definitely untie the rope and go in the other direction.
However, the fact is that Xu Zhifei followed him without saying a word and ran into the seemingly dead-end right road.
Almost every village has an empty dam, and now it seems that he and Xu Zhifei have arrived at the dam in Zhongyuan Village.
The surroundings were eerily silent, with only the whistling of the wind entering my ears.
"It seems that it went another way."
Bai Yanliang didn't hear any movement on the road coming from behind.
Xu Zhifei didn't answer him, but Bai Yanliang could clearly hear her breathing. She had just run so far. Judging from the physical strength Xu Zhifei had shown before, she definitely shouldn't be panting like this.
It was obvious that her body could not hold on any longer.
"I can save you." Bai Yanliang said calmly, "But you have to pay some price."
"Say..."
Xu Zhifei seemed very reluctant to speak, and it was extremely difficult to utter a single word.
"Where did your key come from?" Bai Yanliang didn't have the consciousness to take advantage of others' danger at all, and asked his doubtful question very straightforwardly.
"..." Xu Zhifei remained silent.
But Bai Yanliang is not in a hurry, she will always say it. Sure enough, as he expected.
"Mom...left it for me."
Xu Zhifei's tone made Bai Yanliang feel strange. He had never felt the word "gentleness" in her body.
But when she said "Mom", she was so gentle that she seemed like a completely different person.
And his answer was something Bai Yanliang didn't expect.
Xu Zhifei's mother is actually a cursed person in a space like "Fog Ji"?
So Xu Zhifei is a descendant of the cursed?
"How to use the key?" Bai Yanliang did not ask Xu Zhifei's mother's story, and now was obviously not a good time to ask such a thing.
This time, Xu Zhifei answered the question quickly.
"Blood in the palm of your hand."
Palm blood? Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment, and his thoughts flashed to the scene when Feng Xiuxue was talking to him.
Feng Xiuxue had indeed lied to him.
"Key holders can sense each other," Bai Yanliang looked at the air around him, "Is there any way to hide it?"
"...There is only one way, collect more keys. If you don't have too many keys, you can't sense more."
Xu Zhifei's answer solved Bai Yanliang's doubts.
Feng Xiuxue didn't lie to him about this, but... the blood in her palm was obviously a way to use the key. Why would she lie to him and say that it was a way to shield the induction?
Recalling the situation at that time, Bai Yan already had the answer in his conscience.
Someone came after his keys and even threatened his life.
According to ordinary people's thinking, after Feng Xiuxue hinted that the blood-contaminated key in the palm of his hand could block the induction, he would most likely do so.
If Bai Yanliang really did this at that time, not only would he not be able to block the induction, but he would use his ability inexplicably once.
And the price of using the key's ability... he already knew it very well.
If it were anyone else, Feng Xiuxue's plan might have been successful, and she could have obtained Bai Yanliang's key without any bloodshed.
However, she never expected that Bai Yanliang had never thought about the key from beginning to end. In Bai Yanliang's view, the significance of the silver key's existence was far greater than its own magic.
After all...that's what Kento left behind.
After a few breaths, Bai Yanliang, who had gotten many answers from Xu Zhifei, no longer concealed his thoughts.
"The last question is about you." Bai Yanliang asked, "Can you see your own body from your perspective?"
Although this statement was a bit strange, Xu Zhifei understood what Bai Yanliang meant.
"...can."
In fact, Bai Yanliang knew Xu Zhifei's answer before she answered.
When he asked Xu Zhifei to determine the changes in his body, part of his purpose was to determine whether she could see his body.
Touching her body was also intentional by Bai Yanliang.
But the part I touched was indeed an accident.
"Well, your current state is not invisible. To be precise, you are in a soul state that can be touched. Your body is hidden somewhere and it is rotting. Only by finding her and putting you back can the curse be lifted. Possibly.”
Bai Yanliang's tone was very determined, as if he already knew where Xu Zhifei's body was hidden.
Xu Zhifei digested his words quietly, but before he could answer, something strange happened.
The wind...is getting stronger.
Bai Yanliang raised his head and looked at the low sky covered with dark clouds.
At this time, the rain clouds that should have been extremely thick suddenly cracked, and a bright white light penetrated through the clouds.
"Oops..."
Bai Yanliang murmured.
