Chapter 158 Shadow
Chapter 158: Ghost

Listening to the sounds coming closer and closer from the stairs, and looking around at the environment where there was no place to hide, Bai Yanliang seemed... to have fallen into a completely desperate situation.

But Bai Yanliang made an extremely bold move, and the purpose of this move was still the loophole of the evil ghost that he had just secretly seen.

If my guess is correct, when facing this evil ghost, as long as I stay in that place, I will be invincible.

Bai Yanliang is a man who acts quickly. Once he makes up his mind, he does it immediately.

At this moment, the evil ghost that was crawling upside down finally revealed its strange figure from the stairs...

……

There was a dangerous light flashing in Feng Xiuxue's eyes.

She kept Bai Yanliang's phone call in her heart, not because she was touched, but because she was resentful.

She knew very well that no matter whether the person who called just now was Bai Yanliang or not, the other party had no good intentions.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. She hung up the phone within half a second of the ringing and quickly turned off the sound. Otherwise, no one knew what the sound would attract.

Bai Yanliang couldn't have been unaware that making a phone call in a place like this was both dangerous and unnecessary. Neither party on the call could trust each other, because no one could guarantee whether the person talking to them was a ghost or not.

But Bai Yanliang did it.

Feng Xiuxue never thought he was a fool, otherwise she would not have sought cooperation with Bai Yanliang.

Of course, her initial plan was to deceive. It would be better if she could use the information about his brother to trick him into giving her the key. However, since she couldn't deceive him, cooperation was not something she couldn't consider.

At least today, she didn't tell too many lies, but Bai Yanliang obviously still noticed her past deception, and he was taking revenge!

He wanted to force himself to use the last resort!

Feng Xiuxue showed a strange smile on her face. Although she held a grudge against Bai Yanliang's act of revenge, strangely, she admired Bai Yanliang even more as a person.

As expected, he is the winner of the last round of the game. Only someone like him is qualified to cooperate with me...

Feng Xiuxue thought of Bai Yanliang's always calm face. She was a star and an actor, and she knew very well how important the right expression was in a performance.

But so far, she was sure that all the expressions she saw on Bai Yanliang's face were fake.

Although he also has a talent for acting, this cannot be hidden from the eyes of her, a master of performance.

That man never had any emotions.

Although the conclusion is incredible, it is beyond doubt.

Therefore Feng Xiuxue was very curious about him. How could a person, a living person, have no emotions?

After turning off her phone and stopping thinking about Bai Yanliang, Feng Xiuxue began to carefully look for a way to survive.

At first glance, this place is a replica of the Wu Ji world.

She knew this method very well, because she could do it herself, but... she would never use it unless it was absolutely necessary, because the price of using the key to open the "world" was too heavy...

In fact, when she was in the coffee shop, she had already felt that someone with a key was approaching rapidly, so she seemed quite anxious.

Now that I think about it, I was indeed at a disadvantage. Bai Yanliang never showed any eagerness from beginning to end.

What Feng Xiuxue didn’t know was that Bai Yanliang couldn’t sense that person at all, so why would he be so anxious?
She raced against time to win over Bai Yanliang, but when she finally got his willingness to cooperate, another stranger with the key arrived.

What's more, what Feng Xiuxue never expected was that the other party actually used the key as soon as they arrived to trap her and Bai Yanliang here.

This is definitely not a friendly, negotiable person.

There is only one attitude when using keys to attack: either you die or I die!
Therefore, although Feng Xiuxue seemed relatively calm, she was actually full of vigilance and worries in her heart.

The mysterious man holding the key behaved like a desperado. Feng Xiuxue had always disdained to fight with such people because a mad dog would not care about his life.

But... things have come to this. Feng Xiuxue turned her head and looked around.

The door behind him was closed, and dim light shone in from the windows on both sides. The windows were full of steel bars. Feng Xiuxue tried, but the door behind him wouldn't open.

If the windows on the second floor were also sealed, this house... would become a secret room.

Its interior is bare and drab, with nothing on the ground floor currently except for a shabby wardrobe.

The floor, the stairs, the closet... everything was covered with dust.

There were also some strange, old-looking scratches on the walls of the room.

It's old because the scratches look visibly old to the naked eye, and it's weird because the scratches on the wall... look like someone had scratched them out of the wall with their fingernails in desperation.

Feng Xiuxue gradually approached the wall and stared at the scratches on it.

The scratches were quite high, and she had to raise her hands and stand on tiptoe to reach them.

But she didn't touch the scratches. Although it looked old and normal, it always made Feng Xiuxue feel uncomfortable.

However...what Feng Xiuxue did not notice was that at this moment, the shadow behind her suddenly stretched out his hand strangely.

That was her own shadow!

"Boom——"

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded outside the window, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by the white lightning.

Feng Xiuxue was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat.

She turned her head and looked out the window, but the shadow behind her had already returned to normal...

"Crash, lala, lala -"

It rained heavily.

Raindrops as big as soybeans fell madly. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pouring raindrops hit the roof and the ground with a crackling sound.

The splashing water reflected towards the sky, the low black clouds, the blurry distant mountains, and the world outside the window gradually turned white.

The lightning faded and the room was plunged into darkness again.

Feng Xiuxue felt an inexplicable chill. She tried to find where this strange feeling was, but she couldn't find it.

Until now, she had not seen any trace of ghosts, just like there were no ghosts in this room.

But Feng Xiuxue knew that this was simply impossible.

There were lightning and thunder outside the window, and white light flashed from time to time.

Shining on Feng Xiuxue's body, the silver light was projected onto the wall full of scratches.

She couldn't see outside the window. At this moment, her shadow on the wall opened a terrifying mouth and smiled at her...

……

“Chi-chi-chi”

The ghost walked upside down with his palms on the ground and his feet facing the sky, leaving terrible bloody marks on the ground.

It had already climbed up to the second floor where Bai Yanliang was and looked around.

Logically speaking, there was no place to hide on the empty second floor. Bai Yanliang should have been discovered by the ghost and died a violent death.

But the current situation is that Bai Yanliang is missing.
