Chapter 134 Organizing
Chapter 134: Sorting Out

Bai Yanliang opened his eyes and saw a familiar door.

A faint and soft light shone through the window onto his face. Bai Yanliang glanced at the time. It was 2:10 in the afternoon.

It was exactly the same as the previous two times, but this time, he did not return to the Mist Collection, but went directly back to the real world.

Perhaps, this is also the change caused by the fog mutation.

But now, Bai Yanliang had no time to think about Wu Ji. He immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

An indescribable feeling appeared in Bai Yanliang.

Anxious, uneasy, or expectant?

Maybe it wasn't that strong, but it did appear, and Bai Yanliang himself felt it deeply.

Bai Yanliang didn't know whether the change in himself was good or bad. In fact, from the first day he entered Wu Ji, Bai Yanliang had vaguely felt that his emotions were gradually strengthening.

Now the experience was even more obvious, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, hoping that the person on the other end of the phone would answer.

"beep--"

"beep--"

Two prompts that the call was connected sounded, and amid Bai Yanliang's mixed emotions, there was finally a response.

"it's me."

A cold voice came from the other end.

For some reason, after hearing Xu Zhifei's voice, Bai Yanliang seemed to feel that the sunlight was a little warmer.

Maybe, it's because she didn't die, or maybe it's for some other reason.

In short, after hearing Xu Zhifei's voice, Bai Yanliang said "Hello" and hung up the phone.

Xu Zhifei frowned slightly on the pale face on the other end of the phone: "It's inexplicable."

Bai Yanliang was indeed quite puzzled. He hummed an unknown tune and pushed open the door.

Unfortunately, as soon as he took a step, he stepped on a sticky, smelly thing.

The familiar touch made Bai Yanliang realize in an instant what he had stepped on.

"Edgar Allan Poe..."

"Meow--"

The only response he got was a cat's meow. The little black cat dozed off on the stone table as if nothing had happened. It glanced at Bai Yanliang lazily, as a greeting to him.

Bai Yanliang stared at it for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "There is cat litter, you can use it."

He walked over to the stone table, making room for Poe, and put down a notebook.

Bai Yanliang was a little troubled by Xu Zhifei's matter.

It was strange that he would feel annoyed. Bai Yanliang felt that he was becoming more and more like an ordinary person...

Thinking about it afterwards, the reason why Xu Zhifei saved herself at that time should be a subconscious reaction and a coincidence, but no matter from which level, it is enough to prove that she is not a person as cold as her face.

In fact, Bai Yanliang felt that there was no difference between him and her, except that he could use ordinary expressions to disguise his emotions, while Xu Zhifei seemed to disdain to do so. Otherwise, she would not have said something so unemotional when they first met that Bai Yanliang's smile was disgusting.

Because she could tell that Bai Yanliang's expression was fake.

To some extent, she lives a more independent life than Bai Yanliang.

But no matter what, it's enough that she survived this time.

If she really died... Bai Yanliang thought about it. Although he was powerless, his emotions at that time were very strange, so strange that he himself was not sure what he would do. He didn't like to owe favors to others, no matter who it was.

If someone died while saving him, Bai Yanliang would definitely do his best to do something for the other person.

Unfortunately, at the last moment, although Bai Yanliang had connected all the clues he had discovered and sorted out the overall logic of this mission, because he was not dragged into the mirror world, he did not grasp an extremely critical piece of information.

That is... everyone has two, one in the mirror and one in the real world.

And he and Bai Yanliang, both are in the real world.

This is the biggest loophole. Among the two Bai Yanliangs, one must be a fake.

The way to escape this time was also extremely simple. All the murders and inexplicable deaths by evil spirits happened in front of the glass.

Each floor has windows, slogan frames, and semicircular cameras.

As long as you don't let your figure be captured by the glass, this mission will be fine.

The source of all the weirdness lies in the ghost in the glass.

As for Hu Chen, he is just a source of infection, a walking corpse possessed by a strange insect. In other words, he was dead from the beginning and the one that is alive is the insect, and the insect... is not a ghost. The clues pointing to the insect and Hu Chen are all misleading. There is only one real evil ghost - the mirror.

As for what those bugs are?
Bai Yanliang didn’t know.

This was not the first time he had seen those strange bugs.

The last time in the Wuji Village, the huge evil ghost that Xiaobin transformed into triggered a taboo because he stepped out of the village. The flesh and blood all over his body collapsed crazily, and endless black bugs crawled out of his body and devoured the evil ghost cleanly.

And the last time, Lu Guo’s records also mentioned that when Qi Nian defeated the unstoppable evil ghost, the ghost’s whole body suddenly collapsed and was eaten clean by a group of black bugs that drilled out of its body.

This time...could the bugs on Hu Chen be them too?
There is no answer to this question, unless... someone can bring one back.

When Bai Yanliang was about to start writing, he found someone standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. He, you're back." Bai Yanliang also said with a smile.

Bai Yanliang’s words were very strange. He Yige clearly came out of his room, but he said he was back.

He Yige's pupils shrank slightly, as if he had not expected Bai Yanliang to ask him this.

But after just a few breaths, He Yige smiled and said, "Well, I came back at the same time as Mr. Bai. Our times... are synchronized."

really……

Bai Yanliang had a clue in his mind.

When Wu Ji issued the call, Bai Yanliang was just about to find an excuse to leave temporarily, but he didn't expect that He Yige would speak at the same time as him.

Bai Yanliang never believed in coincidences, and he immediately took this matter to heart.

That's why...he spoke so tentatively just now.

Now it seems that his guess was true.

There is not just one Wu Ji. The woman he saw when the Wuji Village collapsed should be a member of another "Wu Ji". This Mr. He Yige should also be a member of another "Wu Ji". Of course, they might not call it Wu Ji.

As for how many of these "fog clusters" there are, it is unclear.

After a brief exchange, the two people had some tacit understanding.

At this time, Gao Fei took out a large stack of documents from his room and muttered something.

When he saw Bai Yanliang and He Yige in the yard, his eyes widened: "Didn't you two just say you had something urgent?"
