Chapter 154 Showdown
Chapter 154 Showdown

While Feng Xiuxue was testing Bai Yanliang, Bai Yanliang was also observing Feng Xiuxue.

According to her other personality, the Feng Xiuxue in front of her was the product of the corruption of a certain part of the human nature in her body.

But in the fog, her name is clearly Feng Xiuxue, and it is obvious that the Feng Xiuxue in front of her is the real main personality.

Feng Xiuxue saw that Bai Yanliang had no intention of speaking, so she turned her head to look out the window and asked doubtfully, "You don't like me?"

Bai Yanliang shook his head slightly: "Everyone has a different definition of love. My love is not that cheap."

Feng Xiuxue turned to look at him, seeming a little annoyed.

This time, Bai Yanliang looked directly into her eyes without dodging.

He didn't understand where Feng Xiuxue's confidence came from. He and her had very little communication, and they didn't even understand each other. Was it just because she was pretty?

What's more...what troubled Bai Yanliang was that until now, he couldn't be sure whether he had ever felt the emotion of liking someone.

From the book I read that if your heart beats faster, your speech becomes slurred, and you feel at a loss, that means you like someone.

He has not experienced the latter two situations, but his heartbeat has accelerated a few times. So, does that mean I like ghosts?
Bai Yanliang killed the strange thought in his mind.

"The purpose of your appointment with me today is not to talk about this, right?" Bai Yanliang looked at Feng Xiuxue quietly.

Feng Xiuxue suddenly chuckled, took off her sunglasses and put them on again, making Bai Yanliang unsure of her expression:

"Bai Yanliang, I'm sure you've never been in love."

Bai Yanliang nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

This made Feng Xiuxue unable to say the teasing words she wanted to say.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Feng Xiuxue finally corrected her attitude.

"Do you think that Wu Ji has become a little strange?" Feng Xiuxue asked softly while stirring the coffee in the cup.

Before Bai Yanliang could answer, she muttered to herself: "Li Mu's name faded, the space turned from black to white, the rules suddenly changed... It's like we suddenly entered the next stage."

"Bai Yanliang." Feng Xiuxue suddenly raised her head and looked at him seriously.

"If I tell you that I have a way to completely escape from the fog, would you believe it?"

Bai Yanliang's eyes moved slightly. He looked at Feng Xiuxue without saying anything.

Although he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that he was calm inside.

If other people in the fog group knew what Feng Xiuxue said, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Once, twice, three times... The endless world of horror is like an endless nightmare, devouring everyone's strength.

After a long time, even the most optimistic people are prepared to die at any time.

The only thing everyone is looking forward to is a turn for the better for Wu Ji, a turn that will allow them to completely get rid of the curse, so that they don't have to put their lives on the line and live in fear.

And now, Feng Xiuxue actually said that she has found the turning point?
"You have... this, right?"

At this moment, Feng Xiuxue seemed to have made up her mind, and she took something out of the small bag she was carrying.

It's... a key. A blood-red key!
The moment he saw the key, Bai Yanliang's heart suddenly sank!
A fear that surged from the depths of my soul quickly spread throughout my body.

Although its color and shape are completely different from the silver key in Bai Yanliang's hand, that aura... that vague feeling makes Bai Yanliang extremely certain that these two keys... are of the same origin.

In other words, they are all products of "fog gathering".

Bai Yanliang stared at Feng Xiuxue. He didn't expect that she would show such great sincerity this time.

The key's strangeness and preciousness are self-evident, and Bai Yanliang has never told anyone about it.

But... Bai Yanliang was not surprised that Feng Xiuxue would take this action this time. After all, he deliberately unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt just to let Feng Xiuxue see it.

Compared to Feng Xiuxue, Bai Yanliang chose to believe Feng Yiru.

He also wanted to know what Feng Xiuxue wanted from him. The only abnormal thing about him, besides his inability to feel emotions, was this key.

Therefore, Feng Xiuxue has chosen to reveal her cards now, and it can be said that a considerable part of the reason is due to Bai Yanliang's hints and guidance.

"How do you know I have the key?" Bai Yanliang deliberately asked a stupid question.

Unexpectedly, Feng Xiuxue did not give the answer he expected, such as "I saw it by accident".

"People who hold the key can sense each other. You have already discovered that I have the key, right?" Feng Xiuxue looked at Bai Yanliang and smiled sarcastically.

Really not...

Bai Yanliang answered in his heart.

He had never experienced the sensation that Feng Xiuxue mentioned. It could even be said that nothing unusual had happened to him until now.

But Feng Xiuxue's statement that the people holding the keys can sense each other solved Bai Yanliang's doubts.

The reason why the mysterious man in the hat came towards me... I found it.

Bai Yanliang was very sure that he was also the one holding the key.

As for...why he couldn't sense other people holding keys, Bai Yanliang thought about it for a while and understood the reason.

Because he is not the owner of the key.

This key is a relic of Yanren. It is most likely Yanren's thing, but there is also the possibility that Yanren took it from others.

"You also sensed the others, why did you come to me?" Bai Yanliang asked.

Feng Xiuxue frowned for the first time when she heard this. She quickly looked around and said, "I'm different from you. It was only when I came to Yecheng last time that I sensed that there were so many people with keys in Yecheng, and... more and more people are moving towards Yecheng."

"In short, those people are unfamiliar and cannot be trusted. But you are different, Bai Yanliang." Feng Xiuxue called his name seriously, "We are the same."

"Although you acted very well, from the first moment you entered Wu Ji, I knew you were not a newcomer. The outline of the key will no longer appear on our palms, because our key has already solidified into shape! We are the winners of the last round of the game. There is no need to waste time with them. Bai Yanliang, give me your key, and we... can survive!" Feng Xiuxue's eyes were full of sincerity, and... also carried some other meaning.

There was a hint of girlish implicit love in her eyes. What she asked just now, whether Bai Yanliang liked her, was not just a joke.

As long as Bai Yanliang agrees, he can win the beauty, completely break free from the curse with this big star, and live a normal life.

"Bai Yanliang..."

She slowly stood up and gradually approached Bai Yanliang. Her voice sounded like a whisper, but also like a confession.
