Chapter 392 Bai Yanren
Endless coldness and a constant feeling of falling.
Bai Yanliang's perception was completely confused. He was pulled by Xu Zhifei and jumped into the sea, jumping into the full moon reflected on the sea.
key?
Door?
Nothing could be seen, it was pitch black in the sea.
Even Xu Zhifei's hand, which he was holding tightly, seemed to have turned into a solid stone at this moment, without any touch of flesh and blood.
Bai Yanliang only felt that he was falling... falling.
At this moment, Xu Zhifei's face was covered with dense wrinkles, and she was aging rapidly.
Although this woman who can eat "ghosts" is not completely human, she is not a ghost either.
In the dark sea water, Xu Zhifei stared at Bai Yanliang.
She knew Bai Yanliang couldn't see her, so she no longer concealed her eyes.
At this moment, Xu Zhifei looked at Bai Yanliang with a particularly complex look, and even... there was a moment of murderous intent, but soon, this murderous intent dissipated without a trace.
She knew that Bai Yanliang didn't do anything wrong, just...
It's better to leave the right of choice to him...
In Xu Zhifei's body, wisps of incredible and strange power were transmitted to Bai Yanliang's body through his palms.
It was also at this moment that Bai Yanliang, who was falling continuously, suddenly realized that he could see clearly under the pitch-black water.
The abyss-like sea bottom beneath him reflected the sinking figures of him and Xu Zhifei.
It was as if there was a huge mirror on the bottom of the sea.
He was falling, uncontrollably, getting closer and closer to himself in the "mirror" on the bottom of the sea.
The same gesture, the same position, like a person reaching out to touch himself in the mirror.
But this touch turned into a fall.
The moment the soles of my feet touch the "mirror surface" of the seabed...
The lines of time folded at the cross section where the soles of his feet were in contact with each other, and the two points of the past and the future overlapped in this dark and terrifying deep sea, in this incredible time and space...
The sinking feeling disappeared.
In other words, the whole world became silent.
But this state only lasted for a moment, and Bai Yanliang seemed to have become a "third-person perspective."
He watched helplessly as he and Xu Zhifei floated upward from the sea, no...
This is not floating!
This is turning back time!
The water bubbles that originally surged due to their sinking also came back from top to bottom in the opposite direction!
Soon, Bai Yanliang saw himself returning to the bow of the ship, as if a movie had been rewinded.
The giant wheel that was shrinking and disappearing is also getting bigger and bigger, and everyone's position is returning to the beginning...
The bright moon in the night sky is also slowly moving from bright to dark.
From a "third person" perspective, Bai Yanliang truly experienced what time flies like, and the sun and the moon fly by.
Time was like a link that was twisted at will in front of his eyes. The shadow of the years was projected on Bai Yanliang's body, bright and dark, and ever-changing.
Backward...backward...
The hands that I had promised Xu Zhifei that I would never let go of had already parted ways.
Backward...backward...
Bai Yanliang no longer knew where he was. He could only "watch" himself moving rapidly, moving in reverse time...
Spring flowers, autumn moon, withered grass and trees, time has no specific shape, but its existence can be clearly felt through the changes in the surrounding things.
Bai Yanliang seemed like an outsider, watching time play tricks on the entire world, but fortunately, his own body did not rejuvenate with time.
It was as if... the reversal of time and space affected the entire world, and the only thing that remained unchanged... was himself.
This silent mime-like world made Bai Yanliang feel an unspeakable desolation and emptiness in his heart that he had never experienced from ghosts before.
If he is a person with normal emotions, he should understand that this desolation and emptiness is an extreme terror that is more suffocating than the existence of ghosts.
At this moment, the reversal of time gradually slowed down, and the voice... gradually returned to Bai Yanliang's ears.
"Didi——" is the sound of a car.
His body is no longer at sea, nor in the ship.
Bai Yanliang was stunned for a long time when he felt the coolness of the wind blowing on his cheeks.
With this real and delicate touch, could it be that I...really went back to ten years ago?
"Huh..."
He exhaled slowly.
Suddenly, voices from all directions swarmed in at this moment, all entering his ears.
Cars honking, pedestrians talking, walking in a hurry, street hawking, TV commercials, business promotions... The complicated noise around him completely brought Bai Yanliang back to his senses.
He blinked hard, and now he was standing in a crowded crowd.
Men, women, and children passing by him passed by him. Bai Yanliang was like a stone suddenly thrown into the stream, out of tune with everything around him.
The dim sunset light shone diagonally from the gaps between the tall buildings in the city. In front of the food stalls, students carrying schoolbags were chatting in groups.
In the steaming stall, the boss with half-squinted eyes amidst the smoke was frying skewers and collecting money...
Bai Yanliang looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the street shop. The current time was... five thirty-six.
Judging from the dressing of pedestrians and students, these clothes...these conversations, and the mobile phones they are holding...
The newsstands and newspapers are still there...even the phone booth hasn't been demolished yet.
Bai Yanliang's heart beat more and more violently.
This street...
This street is...
He wanted to move his legs, but suddenly found that his feet were a little weak.
He hasn't been back here for a long time.
From the beginning, since he came out of the mental hospital, he has never been back here.
Yecheng, JB District, Haitang Street.
This is where Yanren works, and also... their home.
Bai Yanliang was trembling all over. The "outdated" clothes and "outdated" mobile phones on the street all told him that this was definitely not his time.
But all this cannot be explained by hallucinations. This world is so real that it makes Bai Yan's conscience tremble.
Memories were activated little by little. Ten years ago, I and my brother also came to Haitang Street to eat. We went to that store and that store...
While walking, Bai Yanliang stopped and slowly raised his head.
On the second floor, there is... Yanren's office.
As long as it is not illegal, he will accept any job, from finding cats and dogs to helping the police find traces of felons and obtain bounties...
This firm has no resounding name, or even a name.
But...
Bai Yanliang stared blankly at the familiar doors and windows.
Sudden!
"Hello?"
A gentle man's voice sounded behind Bai Yanliang.
"Do you want to entrust it?"
Bai Yanliang trembled all over, this voice...
He turned around slowly, and at this moment, it seemed that even the wind had stopped.
This man stood in the afterglow of the setting sun cast by the tall buildings in the city, with the light behind him. Bai Yanliang vaguely saw that he was still smiling.
"Hello, I am the person in charge of this firm."
He smiled heartily against the light, exactly as Bai Yanliang remembered...
"My name is Bai Yanren."
