Chapter 393 Brothers
It was getting late, the setting sun was shining slantingly, and it seemed that Yecheng was at the transition of summer and autumn, and there was already a slight chill in the wind.
Bai Yanren stood in front of Bai Yanliang, with a soft smile on his face and some questions in his eyes.
The cool evening breeze brought with it the sound of car horns on the street next door.
It was obviously so harsh, but it couldn't shake Bai Yanliang at this moment.
"Dong dong——dong dong——"
His heart was beating, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, looking at the person in front of him whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but who was exactly the same as in his memory.
The evening breeze ruffled Bai Yanliang's hair, and the orange light of the sunset stretched his shadow very long.
At this moment, everything on this sidewalk seemed to be silent, except for the two brothers.
Bai Yanliang opened his mouth, but the "brother" was stuck in his throat and he couldn't scream out.
Bai Yanren's eyes trembled, he looked at Bai Yanliang imperceptibly, and said with a smile: "It's getting dark, please come to the office with me."
Following Bai Yanren up the stairs step by step, Bai Yanliang felt a little dazed looking at the swaying shoulders in front of him.
My brother is thinner than I remember, and not as tall...
Bai Yanliang couldn't get his thoughts back. He knew that this was the "chaotic time and space" opened by a certain key, but... it really might be the real past.
Just like Yu Wenxuan and that woman, that woman once visited Yu Wenxuan's childhood and left a mark on Yu Wenxuan's memory.
So now... is this place really the same Yecheng ten years ago?
Bai Yanliang's heartbeat had never beat so violently.
At least... if I stay here for a while, I should be able to figure out what happened back then.
"Sir? Sir?"
Bai Yanren's soft call brought Bai Yanliang back to his senses.
He looked at the khaki door in front of him. His most profound memory of this door was that it was stained with blood.
But it...is clean and silent at this moment.
Bai Yanliang subconsciously stretched out his hand and gently slid his fingers across the door frame. The slightly cold touch made him feel more and more that this was really ten years ago, and it was the real world.
Bai Yanren took one look at Bai Yanliang's strange behavior, asked him to sit down, and went to make two cups of tea.
There was white mist rising from the mouth of the cup. Bai Yanliang stared at the clear tea and suddenly asked: "Where is your brother?"
The smile on Bai Yanren's face faded: "How do you know, sir, that I have a younger brother?"
Bai Yan's conscience was in turmoil. He rarely had flustered moments, but after coming here, his mind could not be calm at all, and he was completely unlike his usual self.
"I... just saw traces of two people's lives here, cups, slippers, gloves on the wall... They are all one large and one small. Judging from the style, it should be a little boy." Bai Yanliang reluctantly explained.
Bai Yanren nodded when he heard this, and seemed to agree with Bai Yanliang's statement: "Sir, you are very observant. I have a younger brother. He has gone to school and should be back soon."
Bai Yanliang was startled, right... at this point in time, I was indeed in school. If that thing hadn't happened, the rest of life should be the same as a normal person's life, junior high school, high school, college...
Bai Yanren looked at him quietly. Seeing that Bai Yanliang was a little lost in thought, he asked: "Sir, my name is Bai Yanren. I wonder what your purpose is? Is there anything you need to entrust?"
< br>
"The commission...yes," Bai Yanliang nodded, "I...I am actually looking for someone. It is difficult to find someone with my own strength, so I want to find someone to help."
"Are you looking for someone? Excuse me, do you know the name and appearance of the person you are looking for?" Bai Yanren asked.
"He..." Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "His surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Tian. He is a doctor. He is about thirty or forty years old, maybe fifty or sixty years old..."
As soon as Bai Yanliang said the name "Zhou Tian", Bai Yanren's expression changed significantly.
"Who are you?" Bai Yanren's voice was as cold as a knife. Bai Yanliang had never seen him look like this before.
"I..." Bai Yanliang knew that saying the name "Zhou Tian" might trigger unexpected changes, but what he didn't expect was that Bai Yanren had such great malice towards Zhou Tian.
"To be honest," Bai Yanliang looked into Bai Yanren's eyes without evading, "I am the victim of what he did."
"So, I want to find him."
Bai Yanren was not a person who would be convinced so easily, but the strange thing was that as soon as the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, opened his mouth, he would subconsciously believe what he said.
This discovery surprised Bai Yanren himself. Could it be that the man in front of him had already done something to him?
However, judging from the fact that he knows the name "Zhou Tian", this person is at least someone who knows the Nine Prisons. Could he be one of the people selected from the Nine Prisons?
"Which prison are you from?" Bai Yanren asked straight to the point.
If the answer is true, then Bai Yanliang should come from the first prison, Fengquan Command Prison, but it is impossible for him to tell Bai Yanren in front of him that he comes from Wuji ten years later, the Fengquan Command Prison that has not yet condensed its key. .
So...
"I don't know. I was selected by that strange space recently. What is the prison you are talking about?" Bai Yanliang chose to answer the question with a question.
In fact, he really didn't know what the nine hells meant. Everything he knew about the nine hells came from Xun Weimo. What characteristics, and when was the key condensed?
"The keys to seven hells have been condensed and the door to hell has been closed. Only the first and ninth hells are left. The first Fengquan Command Prison has not yet been formed, and the ninth Fengquan Kao Burning Prison is mysterious and has not been seen so far. Are you the newly selected person from Fengquan’s prison?”
Bai Yanren no longer acted carelessly. After knowing that the other party was not a normal person, he spoke out.
"Maybe." Bai Yanliang nodded.
Bai Yanren frowned slightly: "So, someone asked you to come to me? Who asked you to come."
Bai Yanliang immediately shook his head: "No, this is just a coincidence. I just want someone to help find the doctor named Zhou Tian, because I think it was him who caused me to fall into this strange situation. Then I saw you when I passed by. 's office, so it just happened..."
"Really..." Bai Yanren picked up the tea and took a sip, "That's really a coincidence."
"However, you are right about one thing. The opening of the Nine Hells was indeed a catastrophe caused by Zhou Tian. The Nine Hells had been sealed hundreds of years ago, but he was restless..."
As soon as I said this, I heard a "bang——" sound, the door was pushed open forcefully, and a cheerful child carrying a schoolbag stood at the door with his hands on his hips, looking up and shouting:
"Brother! I'm out of school!"
