Chapter 260 Confused
Chapter 260: Confused
It has to be said that An Abyss has achieved most of its goals.
After the call was connected, Bai Yanliang contacted Li Mu immediately. However... the person who answered the phone was not Li Mu.
"Hello?"
This voice is not unfamiliar to Bai Yanliang.
"Mr. Ren, where is Li Mu?"
"Dead."
Ren Wudao's tone was calm. In fact, he did not have much friendship with Li Mu.
Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment and hung up the phone.
Xu Zhifei glanced at him but said nothing.
Soon, the survivors of the three groups got news. It was confirmed that the number of people who died this time... was six in total, and one person was seriously injured, with an arm completely broken from the shoulder - Du Shangjing.
Fifteen people set out, but only nine came back alive.
Li Mu, Ling Tao, Jiang Li, Lu Guo, Li Yuejun, Jiang Zhijie... Ling Tao had no contact with Jiang Zhijie and Bai Yanliang, but they were not newcomers either.
Each of the remaining four people had a relationship with Bai Yanliang.
Among them, Li Mu's death is undoubtedly the most saddening.
He didn't deserve to die...
But Bai Yanliang had actually expected Li Mu's death. The moment he confirmed that this mission was caused by people from the Dark Abyss, Bai Yanliang knew that Li Mu was in danger this time.
An Yuan used to be active in Li Mu's city. During this period, he was troubled by Li Mu, a criminal policeman, and he forged a lot of grudges.
Even the curse on Li Mu was placed by someone from the Dark Abyss.
This time, there was no reason for them to let Li Mu go.
But...
Bai Yanliang looked down at his phone, but what he thought of was another thing.
If Dark Abyss really could easily invade Wuji and issue a false mission, they would have done so long ago, but in fact they never did.
But this time, they did it and succeeded.
Bai Yanliang had to suspect that this matter was related to that person - Ren Wudao.
No... maybe it should be said that this matter has nothing to do with Yu Sheng and Ren Wudao.
Yu Sheng's behavior was very strange. Although Bai Yanliang emotionally did not want to associate this tragic casualty with Yu Sheng, his reason told him that Yu Sheng was by no means innocent.
Xu Zhifei looked at Bai Yanliang quietly. Although she could tell that Bai Yanliang seemed to be troubled now, she was not a talkative person, nor was she a comforting person.
To her, just sitting here quietly with him for a while was already a good deed.
After a long silence, Bai Yanliang suddenly exhaled a breath and looked up at the sky.
There was a rare daze in his eyes.
So many things happened this time that caught him off guard.
Among them, the biggest one is undoubtedly the secret about himself.
Bai Yanliang never thought that Yanren's death was really caused by him, although... that was also Yanren's own choice.
But Bai Yanliang finds it difficult to let go...
"You are too selfish...brother..."
Bai Yanliang hugged his legs, placed his chin on his knees, and the black hair on his forehead fell quietly in front of his eyes.
A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Zhifei's cold eyes. She had never seen Bai Yanliang like this before.
She was a profiler herself, so she knew exactly what the gesture represented.
Bai Yanliang... is very insecure now.
sense of security?
This word seems ridiculous to Bai Yanliang, because everyone is used to this man not being afraid of anything.
He is like a precise and exquisite machine. Although it is trustworthy, it can never be regarded as the same kind. It was only at this moment that Xu Zhifei discovered that Bai Yanliang had no sense of security and had this defensive posture of always being on guard against his surroundings.
"Are you okay?"
A slightly stiff female voice sounded in Bai Yanliang's ears.
Bai Yanliang tilted his head slightly, and the black hair on his forehead fell to the side, revealing a pair of slightly dim eyes.
Next to him, Xu Zhifei sat upright and looked intently. If he hadn't been the only one beside her, Bai Yanliang would have even suspected that she was talking to someone else.
She was more reserved than usual. It could be seen that the four words just now seemed to have made Xu Zhifei make a lot of effort. Bai Yanliang could clearly feel her awkwardness and unaccustomedness.
However, although it was a bit clumsy, Bai Yanliang accepted her kindness.
"Xu Zhifei, have you always been like this since you were a child?"
Bai Yanliang rarely calls others by their names. In fact... he seems to be friendly and polite, but he is separated by thousands of miles of distance.
Xu Zhifei seemed a little confused about what he meant, and a trace of doubt flashed in his cold eyes.
Bai Yanliang looked at her meticulously and said, "I mean, have you always been so cold since you were a child?"
Xu Zhifei's eyes moved. She wanted to get up and leave, but after carefully checking Bai Yanliang's eyes, she found that Bai Yanliang was not teasing or joking with her.
After a moment of silence, Xu Zhifei nodded and said nothing.
"Me too." Bai Yanliang looked away and looked at the ground.
"I thought... this was a disease, a disease without emotions."
Xu Zhifei was attracted by his words and looked at him quietly.
"But... suddenly someone told me that this is not a disease..." Bai Yanliang murmured in a low voice, "it becomes like this because... I am basically a soul that came back from another world..."
The second half of his words were so quiet that Xu Zhifei didn't hear them clearly.
But Xu Zhifei knew very well how Bai Yanliang felt at this moment.
Within a group, there will always be one or two outliers.
Xu Zhifei was sure that he was the outlier at a very young age.
She can see things that others cannot see, and hear some inexplicable and strange sounds. She exudes a temperament that prevents strangers from entering. People are often attracted by her beauty and want to get closer and make friends with her, but they are always met by some inexplicable things. Frightened by the strange phenomena that appeared.
It seems... her birth is unknown.
Not only others think so, but she herself thinks so too.
Xu Zhifei has never seen his father, and his mother never mentioned him, only saying that he was missing.
Until he graduated, his mother died mysteriously, leaving Xu Zhifei with only a strange key.
From then on, Xu Zhifei became more silent and colder.
She stopped meeting anyone, and even took the initiative to stay away from some friends to avoid bringing disaster to them.
However, she did not give up the investigation. The reason why she worked for the police was to find clues about her parents through the police's huge information database.
Until...she discovered the secret of the key.
Xu Zhifei doesn't know Bai Yanliang's past, but she knows his future.
Her key told her Bai Yanliang's future.
...To be precise, Bai Yanliang exists in her future.
From then on, Xu Zhifei noticed him. Slowly, she discovered that Bai Yanliang... seemed to be as lonely as she was.
However, she actively distanced herself.
Bai Yanliang, on the other hand, is naturally cold.
The background was stuck, and it showed that the upload was unsuccessful. I uploaded it again, but now there are two identical chapters, and the VIP chapter cannot be deleted. I have contacted the editor, sorry everyone.
