Chapter 287: Meaning
Chapter 287: Meaning
"Why did you order a marshmallow for me?"
Bai Yanliang looked at this white cloud-like object and felt a little confused.
Xu Zhifei also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the tone of his voice.
He changed back again.
"You ordered it yourself."
"Okay..."
Bai Yanliang looked at the ball of marshmallows in front of him and was speechless.
God knows why there are marshmallows in Western restaurants? It was also served on a plate and a pair of knives and forks were prepared.
Some of the bored people around him covered their mouths and snickered, and some took secret photos with their mobile phones. In short, no one was looking at him.
Xu Zhifei also seemed to find it interesting. She raised her chin in a rare move and looked at Bai Yanliang: "Do you and your childhood self change back and forth at any time?"
Bai Yanliang was a little uncomfortable answering this question, "Well...it depends on the will. After fulfilling his wish, he will go back, and then I will appear."
"So, your will is no better than that of a child?" A smile appeared in Xu Zhifei's always cold eyes.
Bai Yanliang rolled up a ball of marshmallows with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, "Who knows how obsessed he is with marshmallows."
"Okay, I'm full, let's go quickly." Bai Yanliang quickly finished the marshmallows in front of him, "While I'm at the event now, I'll go find trouble with Lawyer He first."
< br>
"I haven't eaten yet." Xu Zhifei interrupted Bai Yanliang with just four words.
"Waiter, pack!"
……
"Do you know what multiple keys do?"
Bai Yanliang asked Xu Zhifei while holding the steak.
Xu Zhifei glanced at him and said, "Yeah."
Bai Yanliang's eyes lit up, waiting for Xu Zhifei's answer.
Xu Zhifei's expression was a little gloomy. She didn't seem to want to mention these things, but Bai Yanliang didn't notice.
"My mother was once trapped in a space similar to fog. She called it an abyss."
Xu Zhifei's eyes flashed with memories, and he said slowly: "She is a senior member of the Abyss. Unlike Wuji, everyone who enters the Abyss will get a key. Later...she discovered these keys The function of these keys, every time they are used..."
Xu Zhifei's voice stopped suddenly.
Bai Yanliang was thinking along with her words, but was cut off by the sudden stop.
"What happens next? What happens every time you use it?"
Bai Yanliang looked at Xu Zhifei and asked.
Xu Zhifei stared at the steak in his hand.
"I'm hungry."
After Xu Zhifei slowly finished the steak, she seemed to have forgotten to continue talking about the key.
Bai Yanliang's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's claws. He asked her to tell him the answer several times, but Xu Zhifei never spoke again.
"Bai Yanliang, holding the key is a curse in itself." Xu Zhifei finally whispered, "Everyone who owns the key will end badly..."
After saying this, Xu Zhifei walked forward and said no more.
Bai Yanliang stood there and looked at her back.
Xu Zhifei knew more than he imagined.
Her mother left her with valuable knowledge that she rarely mentioned.
Don't want to? Still can't?
Bai Yanliang doesn't know.
But Xu Zhifei's last words just now overturned Bai Yanliang's guess about An Yuan.
If what Xu Zhifei said is true, then... having a lot of keys is not a good thing.
It is itself a cursed thing, an evil thing.
It is indeed true that using it requires paying a huge price. A twenty-year-old young man who can use the key three times at most will die of old age.
In addition, there is another situation, that is, key decay.
Xu Zhifei did not say under what circumstances the key would become corrupted, but a corrupted key would take away the life of the holder, forcing the key holder to risk his life to do something. It does not allow people to have superpowers at all. In the final analysis, it is not something that humans can control.
Just like a child using a powerful firearm, the huge recoil alone is enough to cause him injury or even death.
Do the people in Dark Abyss know this?
Bai Yanliang couldn't judge for the time being, but he vaguely understood why he appeared...
Xu Zhifei's back was almost disappearing, and Bai Yanliang quickly chased after him.
He didn't know when he would turn into the state of a child, so he could only follow her as much as possible. If he got lost while in the child state, it would be a big joke.
After following Xu Zhifei into the car, Bai Yanliang discovered that she did not ask the driver to go to Qingyi Street.
Doesn't she plan to find He Yige?
Although Bai Yanliang was thinking, he didn't ask any more questions.
Because he remembered one thing: Xu Zhifei really had no obligation to accompany him on the adventure.
Although He Yige came with murderous intent, both she and him were unharmed. Xu Zhifei's unwillingness to trouble him was also her personal matter.
In the final analysis, he is the only one who truly opposes An Abyss.
There is no doubt that Bai Yanren must be related to An Abyss. Even if he has nothing to do with An Abyss, Bai Yanliang will not let them go.
Not only to avenge Li Mu, but also to himself.
Anyone would get angry after being designed like this again and again.
But now... that blood-red key is useless, but he also has other ways.
In this world, keys are not the only things that can kill people.
The two were silent all the way until the car stopped.
Xu Zhifei actually went home.
Speaking of which, Bai Yanliang has nothing now, Xun Weimo is missing, and Mercury Night also disappeared mysteriously.
His luggage, his cat, were all gone.
Bai Yanliang stood there and did not follow Xu Zhifei upstairs.
He was going to do something on his own.
However, just when Bai Yanliang turned around to leave, Xu Zhifei suddenly turned his head and said, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yanliang shook his head and said seriously: "I have troubled you these past two days. I thought about it and it is very dangerous to confront those people. Please don't contact me next time."
Xu Zhifei looked him up and down strangely: "What are you using to resist?"
Bai Yanliang nodded his head with his index finger and smiled confidently: "Brain."
Xu Zhifei looked at him and said something that surprised Bai Yanliang.
"There is still a key to my home."
Obviously, the key Xu Zhifei mentioned was definitely not a spare key.
Bai Yanliang finally understood what she meant. No wonder she took a taxi home without saying a word...
"Bai Yanliang."
Xu Zhifei suddenly called him seriously.
"Yeah."
Bai Yanliang looked into her eyes, and there was hesitation in those always cold eyes.
"If you take that key, you will die mysteriously."
"Is this what you said will end badly?" Bai Yanliang asked with a smile.
"..."
Xu Zhifei looked at him and said nothing.
"I'm not kidding."
After a long time, she spoke.
Bai Yanliang's face also suppressed the smile, but there was a very faint, but very real smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Me neither."
