Chapter 156: Entering the Game
Kidnapping Li Mu...

Such words sounded so familiar coming out of her mouth that one couldn't help but wonder if this wasn't the first time Feng Xiuxue had done such a thing.

Bai Yanliang is becoming more and more suspicious and puzzled about her identity. Judging from the information revealed by Feng Xiuxue, she should be the person who has survived the longest in the fog.

No...it should be said that she is another survivor and winner of "Fog Collection".

Therefore, Bai Yanliang wanted to get as much information as possible without exposing the fact that he was not the so-called key holder like her.

"What do you think... ghosts are?"

Bai Yanliang pondered for a while and asked this question.

Feng Xiuxue looked at him with some surprise. Bai Yanliang did not directly agree to her plan, but in her opinion, not refusing was already a kind of consent.

As for Bai Yanliang's question at this time, Feng Xiuxue also shook her head:

"I don't know. The ghosts in the Mist Gathering are very special. In the early and middle stages, the ghosts that appear all have certain origins. As I said, the corruption of human nature is one of them. When the Mist Gathering transitions to the middle and late stages, the origins of the ghosts will become untraceable."

Feng Xiuxue looked out the window and said faintly, "It's like they are another race, another incomprehensible existence."

Bai Yanliang listened to her words quietly. As the winner of the previous Wu Ji and the person who successfully condensed the key, Feng Xiuxue thought she would know more about Wu Ji, but now it seems that he guessed wrong.

Feng Xiuxue only knew a little bit of the truth. She didn't even dare to confirm what a ghost was, let alone the truth about Wu Ji.

"I used to think that ghosts are a special group that exists objectively but cannot be observed normally. They may be a kind of energy or a kind of life form. However, the ghosts with a history and roughly maintaining human form and the ghosts without a history and with strange appearances broke my guess." Bai Yanliang said, "I think that our inability to understand their various abilities may be just like the ancients could not imagine the various modern technologies."

Feng Xiuxue quickly shook her head, denying Bai Yanliang's guess.

"You've got the wrong idea. We've discussed this before, and we came to the conclusion that ghosts can't be explained by science. They come from a plane that's completely different from the material world, perhaps a spiritual realm? Or perhaps an idealistic world? In short, that's not a realm that humans can get involved in."

However, just as Feng Xiuxue was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed.

"Oops……"

The moment Feng Xiuxue opened her mouth, Bai Yanliang also noticed something unusual.

It's so quiet.

From that moment on, all sounds disappeared except for the conversation between the two.

Feng Xiuxue's face turned ugly. She quickly ran out of the cafe, looking around.

Bai Yanliang followed her and came to the outside of the coffee shop.

At this time, this weird feeling became more obvious.

The surrounding area is still densely packed with tall and magnificent buildings.

But... when Bai Yanliang and Feng Xiuxue looked around, they couldn't see anyone.

The surroundings were chillingly quiet and lonely.

The tower crane of a high-rise building still under construction was suspended in mid-air, but the person operating the crane had disappeared.

All the cars stopped, there was no one and no sound.

The two people seemed to have suddenly fallen into a silent world, and Bai Yanliang was somewhat familiar with this feeling.

This is exactly like the scene when Wu Ji’s mission was just completed and the world was about to fall apart.

Everything was silent, everything faded, collapsed into pieces, and dispersed into the gray mist into the void. Now the surroundings looked almost exactly the same, except that the sky and the earth did not fade, and the sky and the earth did not collapse.

Bai Yanliang found it hard to imagine that this was Yecheng.

"Someone is targeting us. He is here for the key. This place... is his world."

Feng Xiuxue said gritting her teeth. She didn't expect the person to be so decisive. Didn't the other party know the price of using the key?
"Damn madman..." Feng Xiuxue cursed in a low voice. She turned her head to look at Bai Yanliang and found that he was observing his surroundings calmly.

He was incredibly calm...

Feng Xiuxue thought to herself.

What she didn't know was that Bai Yanliang was analyzing what she had just said.

The person who comes for the key, his world...

The former is understandable, but the latter is very intriguing.

Bai Yanliang pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that anyone who condensed a key in his palm would be able to obtain a world similar to "Wu Ji", and who knows, the world he obtained might be "Wu Ji" itself?
For example, if Li Mu becomes the survivor of the last mission, then he will be able to condense the only key, and he will be the only one left in the entire Wu Ji. At that time, he will be able to control... this world.

Although it was incredible just thinking about it, this was exactly what Feng Xiuxue had revealed in her words just now...

In other words, Feng Xiuxue can also use her blood-red key to open a world.

Behind the silver key held by Bai Yanliang, there is also a terrifying world...

"Although the rules of this world are set by him, he must make some choices. Ghosts are not controlled by him. As long as we find a way to survive, we can even use the ghosts to bite him back."

Feng Xiuxue's voice was a little cold, and Bai Yanliang looked at her with some surprise.

Only now did Feng Xiuxue truly take off her disguise.

The change in her eyes and tone made her look shrewd and capable, and even... a bit undisguised ruthlessness.

"Consider this as a Wu Ji mission without a solution," Feng Xiuxue looked at Bai Yanliang, "I believe you can do it."

Bai Yanliang faced her in silence without responding.

At this time, a gust of wind blew from the tall buildings in the distance, bringing up dust and paper scraps on the ground.

Bai Yanliang turned his head to look at the confetti that was flying higher and higher, and finally said, "Let's go."

Feng Xiuxue nodded, and the two took a step forward. Suddenly, the scene around them changed drastically.

The sky turned from white to black, the surrounding tall buildings suddenly disappeared, and an old house appeared in front of the two.

Bai Yanliang discovered that it was not night. The reason why the surroundings seemed so dark was due to the dark clouds in the sky. It blocked out the sun and seemed to be hanging not far above the houses, making it hard to breathe.

There was also a damp smell in the air.

It's going to rain heavily soon.

The house in front of them seemed to be the only choice, and its half-open door seemed to be an invitation to them.

Bai Yanliang carefully observed the surrounding environment. Is this... that person's world?

Bai Yanliang and Feng Xiuxue exchanged glances and pushed the door open.
