Chapter 170 Attrition
Chapter 170 Reduction of Personnel
However, plans never keep up with changes.

That night, Bai Yanliang, Yu Sheng and Li Mu, who had just had dinner together, were about to discuss their ideas in detail when an almost suffocating feeling of fear suddenly came over them.

Li Mu's expression suddenly changed: "Is it Wu Ji? No... it hasn't been a month yet, right?"

Yu Sheng pressed her heart. The violent heartbeat made her almost unable to breathe. The burning sensation in her palm was also extremely obvious. "Open the door quickly..."

Li Mu quickly opened the door and pushed Yu Sheng away, disappearing in front of Bai Yanliang.

This time, Bai Yanliang clearly saw the difference between himself and them.

When Li Mu pushed open the door, what he and Yu Sheng saw was a vast expanse of white fog, while what Bai Yanliang saw was just an ordinary yard and a small black cat dozing on the stone table.

When Li Mu and Yu Sheng passed the door frame, their figures suddenly disappeared.

Feeling his heart throbbing, Bai Yanliang took off the silver key hanging around his neck. He first closed the door, and then opened it again.

This time, he saw...

Li Mu, Yu Sheng, Feng Xiuxue, Lu Guo... many people have appeared in the fog.

Is it really different?

Bai Yanliang took out the key, hung it around his neck again, and walked into Wu Ji.

……

Inside the fog.

Surprisingly, everyone seemed a little slow this time. Bai Yanliang usually came in late, but this time, even he had already entered Wu Ji, but many people were still missing.

At first, no one took it seriously. However, as the time slowly approached three minutes and exceeded three minutes, everyone was stunned.

"Why are there so many missing people? They've been gone for more than three minutes. Do they want to die?"

"Could it be... that we are the only ones who received Wu Ji's summons?"

"No, something happened to them." Lu Guo's voice interrupted everyone's discussion.

He looked at everyone and said seriously, "A few days ago, I ran into a water ghost in real life and almost died. I want to ask everyone, have you ever had a similar experience?"

"Yes." Gu Pingsheng was the first to answer, "Three days ago, I accidentally went to the sixth floor of the hospital where I work. But the entire hospital only has five floors. I accidentally entered the sixth floor... It was scary."

Everyone's eyes were on Gu Pingsheng. As the chief surgeon, he possessed a calmness that most people could not achieve. But even he shuddered when he recalled what he saw on the sixth floor and was unwilling to talk more.

"Me too." Qi Nian looked at everyone, "On my way home from get off work, I met a bride in a red wedding dress. My friends couldn't see her, only I could see her..."

"Interesting." Song Que flicked his fingers and threw a coin into the air. "The night before last, someone called my name outside the window, but I ignored it because I live on... the 23rd floor."

Yu Sheng glanced at Bai Yanliang, then at everyone else, "I've encountered this before..."

Bai Yanliang looked at her in surprise, only to hear Yu Sheng say, "These past few days, I could vaguely hear my brother calling me, but he's clearly missing..."

So that's how it is. Yu Sheng might have thought that this was an illusion caused by his excessive worry about Ren Wudao. However, it could be understood if it happened once or twice occasionally, but if it happened 'always', there would be something wrong.

Then, everyone present gave a brief account of the imaginary events they had encountered.

Just as Lu Guo guessed, everyone encountered an illusory event.

Actually…it’s not exactly the same. There is one person who has not encountered any strange things.

Bai Yanliang.

But he was always low-key and didn't talk much, so Lu Guo automatically ignored him. "It's obvious that those who didn't come may never show up again." Lu Guo's voice spread, and suddenly the surroundings were silent.

The fog had gathered and was already more than half clear.

Bai Yanliang knew most of the people present.

Li Mu, Feng Xiuxue, Du Shangjing, Zhou Li, Lu Guo, Song Que, Li Yuejun, Gu Pingsheng, Qi Nian, Jiang Li, Yu Wenxuan, Xu Zhifei...

After the last mission, there were only thirty-one people left, and now there are only eighteen people still in the fog.

If what Lu Guo said was true, the thirteen people who didn't come might have died in reality...

It sounds like just a simple number, but if you think about it carefully, it means thirteen lives.

Bai Yanliang raised his head and looked at the pair of scarlet narrow light balls hanging "above" the fog. Life was too fragile in the face of such an unknown and strange force.

He was so fragile that he didn't even know when he would die quietly like this.

But unlike most people, Bai Yanliang is not afraid of or resists death.

Soon, blood-red names appeared in the foggy white void.

Qi Nian, Song Que, Zhou Li, Bai Yanliang, Yuan Jie, Yang Muwan.

Me again...

This time, even the other chosen people couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Bai Yanliang.

This can no longer be described as bad luck.

There must be some secret about Bai Yanliang!
That’s right, Bai Yanliang does have a secret. Others don’t know it, but Wu Ji can’t hide it. Bai Yanliang has a ready-made key on him.

However, Bai Yanliang felt confused about this.

If the key is the reason why I am always chosen, then there is another person who should also be chosen every time, and she is Feng Xiuxue.

However, the fact was, at this moment Feng Xiuxue was also looking at him in disbelief.

It was obvious that Feng Xiuxue had no idea why Bai Yanliang was so "unlucky".

Bai Yanliang showed a helpless expression. No matter what, he had to express his attitude. What he wanted to express was, I don’t know what’s going on. You can believe it if you want to, or forget it if you don’t want to.

In fact, Bai Yanliang has been able to confirm that the key left by Yanren is a "unique" key among the keys, at least... it is different from Feng Xiuxue's.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? At present, it seems more like a bad thing.

Not only did it attract the attention of a mysterious person to Bai Yanliang, it also always assigned him some terrifying and bizarre tasks.

Six people stood out from the crowd. Bai Yanliang took a look at his "companions" this time. Except for Song Que and Zhou Li, he didn't even say a word to the other three.

However, he knew Qi Nian. After all, she entered Wu Ji on the same day as him. Moreover, excluding Feng Xiuxue, she was the "first" person to use the rules to get rid of the unstoppable evil spirit.

As for Yuan Jie and Yang Muwan, although I have never met them, since they have been able to survive so many times and escape the attacks of evil spirits in reality, it can be seen that they are not ordinary people.

Bai Yanliang was very optimistic that this mission would be quite easy.

However, when Jieyu appeared, everyone was dumbfounded.
