Chapter 179 Escape
Chapter 179: Escape
After separating from Song Que, Bai Yanliang went to a very dangerous place - the control room.

As soon as he opened the door, he discovered that this room was different from the previous one.

All the screens turned into snow and no images were visible.

But this doesn’t matter to Bai Yanliang, because this room will be safe for quite some time.

Although Bai Yanliang is only using human psychology to speculate about ghosts, judging from previous tasks, ghosts’ “thoughts” are actually very similar to humans in some aspects.

It's a place it's just been to and it won't be coming back anytime soon.

Bai Yanliang sat on the chair. Although he didn't know whether the ghost had sat on this chair just now, he didn't mind.

This was a temporarily safe and quiet environment. Bai Yanliang calmed down and began to seriously think about how to survive this mission.

First of all, the biggest question is Zhou Li.

Where did Zhou Li go?

If the first person to become a "ghost" will definitely be replaced by a ghost and then die, this is too unlike Wu Ji's style. Wu Ji will never give a situation where death is inevitable without any choice.

But now this is what has happened. Zhou Li is missing, and the one looking for everyone in this building is the rotten evil ghost.

Bai Yanliang saw clearly that the ghost was exactly the same as Yuan Jie had described before.

Is Zhou Li really dead?
unconfirmed.

Secondly, regarding the rules, before coming in, the six people drew lots to arrange the order in which they would become "ghosts". Then after entering the building, Zhou Li actually became the first "ghost". Did the evil ghost agree with their rules of the game, or... was this just a pure coincidence?

If it was the former, Bai Yanliang could find several ways to survive in an instant, but if it was the latter... the difficulty this time might be even more shocking than imagined.

Bai Yanliang recalled the details of this mission.

This was the first time that Wu Ji's blood words gave detailed requirements for the task.

"At the fourth time point, at midnight, we will go to the Xinyue Department Store in the western suburbs of Yecheng and play a game of hide-and-seek. Each person will play the role of a ghost once, and the game will last until six in the morning."

Bai Yanliang did not miss any word, but this time when he read it, he found a small suspicious point.

"Everyone plays a ghost once..."

What would happen if one person played the role of a ghost twice?

Although he was very curious, Bai Yanliang himself was not too keen on trying this idea.

But his other speculation could be proved in half an hour.

Half an hour has passed since the game started. According to the agreement, there is still half an hour to exchange the person who will be the ghost.

And the next time, Yang Muwan was chosen as the ghost.

What he had to do now was to confirm whether the "ghost" was Yang Muwan after half an hour.

……

"Woo!"

Yang Muwan's eyes were filled with horror and she struggled desperately, but a pair of cold hands covered her mouth tightly.

A feeling of despair arose spontaneously, but suddenly, the owner of those hands made a voice that she was familiar with.

"Don't make any noise."

It’s Qi Nian!
This is Qi Nian's voice!
Yang Muwan immediately stopped struggling and turned to look at the person under the counter.

"Qi Nian! It's really you!"

At this moment, Yang Muwan's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and she collapsed in Qi Nian's arms.

Qi Nian frowned, but did not push her away.

Months passed.

Compared to when she first entered Wu Ji, she has changed a lot. Thinking of the screaming self when she first entered Wu Ji, she often feels as if she is in another world.

Yang Muwan adjusted herself for a long time before she got up from Qi Nian's arms embarrassedly.

She rarely behaved like this in front of other people, luckily the other person was also a woman.

Yang Muwan looked at Qi Nian curiously and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qi Nian glanced at her: "You are here too, aren't you?"

Yang Muwan suddenly realized.

He was not the only smart person. Qi Nian also thought that the entrance was very secure.

But there is another reason why Qi Nian is here.

She was confirming an idea. This was the starting point of the game. If the person who was to be the "ghost" took turns, it would most likely happen here. As long as she hid here, she would be able to see some unknown changes.

Although it is risky to do so, is there any place that is absolutely safe in the fog?

Qi Nian never thought so.

She used to be easily startled and liked to shout loudly, but now she has become accustomed to silence and thinking alone.

But there was one thing she could never get used to.

That means abandoning your companions.

She was still the same as the girl who risked her life to save Lu Guo. Although she understood that no one of her companions could be trusted in this mission and everyone's positions could change at any time, she still chose to hold Yang Muwan and cover her mouth to prevent her from seeing... A terrifying ghost followed her down the escalator and had already gone to the underground first floor.

We can't stay here anymore.

Although Qi Nian didn't know what the ghost was doing on the underground first floor, she knew that the ghost had already started the second round of search, and this time, it would not let go of any corner of the first floor.

Thinking of this, Qi Nian came out from the counter and glanced at Yang Muwan, "Leave here as soon as possible."

After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly towards the escalator on the left. The evil ghost just went down to the basement floor from the escalator on the left. It would most likely not return the same way, but instead search around and then come up from the escalator on the right.

At this time, choosing the escalator on the left can better avoid directly colliding with the ghost going upstairs.

But at this moment, Yang Muwan was stunned. She had originally planned to stay here until the end of the hour, but after seeing Qi Nian leave, she chose to believe her.

"Wait for me!"

Yang Muwan called softly, and she hurriedly followed, wanting to go with Yang Muwan.

However, maybe it was because I squatted for too long, or maybe it was because I had overdrawn my physical strength before.

She had just run two steps when her legs suddenly went weak and she fell to the ground with a bang.

The worst thing was the cell phone in her pocket. Because of the sudden fall, her cell phone rolled to the ground, and somehow, an application in her cell phone was opened.

It is - a flashlight.

Suddenly! A strong beam of light shone from not far from Yang Muwan towards the escalator on the right.

Qi Nian, who was standing by the escalator on the left, had his pupils constricted, and Yang Muwan was so frightened that her scalp went numb.

Because... at the escalator on the right, under the beam of the mobile phone's flashlight mode, a pair of rotten feet were revealed!
It's a ghost!

It came up from the underground floor!

Yang Muwan suddenly felt that all the blood in her body had frozen. She didn't dare to pick up her phone at all. She got up and stumbled towards the escalator on the left!
As for Qi Nian, the moment she saw those feet, she turned around and ran upstairs.

Yang Muwan, who was nervous and frightened, suddenly heard a sound that made her scalp tingle.

"jingle--"
