Chapter 185 Distress
Chapter 185: Distress

If you were to ask Bai Yanliang what was the strangest skill he learned while in the mental hospital, it would undoubtedly be lock picking.

During that time, he read a suspense book called "The Genius Locksmith", and the reason he read that book was purely because it won the Edgar Allan Poe Award.

Out of boredom, Bai Yanliang spent some time studying how to unlock the doors. He successfully opened most of the hospital's door locks without any doctors or nurses noticing, and strolled around the hospital late at night.

This time, the lock he opened was the lock leading to the rooftop.

Generally speaking, he will only consider unlocking the door himself if he cannot break it by force, because it is really not decent to unlock the door by himself.

But considering that kicking the door open makes too much noise, Bai Yanliang had to pick up this skill.

As for the second strange skill, it is rappelling.

This was not because he had read another book called "Genius Speed ​​​​Downhill Master". The reason he knew this was purely because when he was first locked up in a mental hospital, he was thinking about escaping every day, so he forced himself to learn it.

Now, he went up to the rooftop, holding a bundle of rappelling ropes that he had picked up from the sports brand area on the third floor.

After unlocking the door, Bai Yanliang did not forget to close it, which is a good habit.

Logically speaking, the rooftop of the Crescent Department Store could also be a place to hide, right?
Bai Yanliang nodded with certainty. Since he was still alive, this did not violate the rules.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The dark night seemed like an endless stream of thick ink painted across the sky. Not a single star could be seen.

Instead, the moon behind the opposite building looked surprisingly bright.

Bai Yanliang came to the edge of the rooftop and looked downstairs.

Under the street lights on the opposite side of the street, he could clearly see Li Mu and his group waiting for them.

Wait...what is that?

Just across the building, in a darker corner, there is a figure.

Although he couldn't see the face clearly, the familiar clothes made Bai Yanliang extremely sure.

Xu Zhifei?
Now that she is here, why doesn't she come out to meet everyone?
This woman is really a weirdo.

Well, he has no right to say that others are weird.

Bai Yanliang tied the rappelling rope and sat down on the edge of the roof.

He sorted out his thoughts.

In fact, he agreed with some of Song Que's ideas, but for the other part, he still had doubts.

That is the relationship between a real evil spirit and the person who acts as a "ghost".

If Song Que's idea is true, then the person who is a "ghost" is precisely the safest person.

He doesn't even need to look for the hiding person, the real evil spirit will help him do everything that should be done in the game.

In this way, if the person hiding cannot be found, he will not be punished, but the real evil spirit will be punished.

Then... the meaning of being a "ghost" disappears.

Such meaningless things should not happen according to the rules of Wu Ji.

As for the part that he agreed with, it was Song Que's speculation about the rules of the game.

Bai Yanliang also believes that since this is a game of hide-and-seek, a real evil ghost will also have a moment of playing the role of a hider. If it is found, then the entire death game will really be over.

Therefore, Bai Yanliang decided to see for himself what happened during the countdown stage, which was also their hiding stage.

There is the real contradiction. If you don’t run away and hide, you will discover the relationship between the evil spirit and the “ghost”, but you will most likely die.

But if I escape upstairs, I won't be able to see what is happening there.

Therefore, Bai Yanliang came up with a solution.

He quietly switched his phone to camera mode and placed it in the corner diagonally opposite the entrance.

Judging from the time, the ghost should have started looking around by now.

Bai Yanliang didn't want to go down directly. After the first round, he suspected that the ghost would have some new abilities. Anyway, he had a better way, so why not use it?

The method is rappelling.

I have to say, this is something that ordinary people can't do.

The exterior walls of the entire building are made of tempered glass, but the corners of the building are solid walls.

In other words, if you slide down from the corner of the building, you will not be discovered by the ghosts on the floor.

Of course... Li Mu and the others who were across the street would discover them.

But Bai Yanliang didn't think they would be stupid enough to yell in excitement when they saw him rappelling.

Probably not?
Bai Yanliang pulled the rappelling rope, took a breath, put his feet on the corner of the rooftop, jumped lightly, and his body drew a graceful arc, sliding down at a steady speed.

At this time, Li Mu and his companions who were staying on the opposite street immediately discovered the "Spider-Man" sliding down quickly from the corner of the building.

"That's...Bai Yanliang?"

Soon, Bai Yanliang's figure was recognized by others.

Yu Sheng subconsciously clenched his fists, feeling a little worried and a little unbelievable.

She looked at the familiar figure with agile movements, and could never have imagined that Bai Yanliang, who looked quite frail, could actually do this kind of sport?

"That boy... is too brave."

Li Mu also whispered, and then he immediately turned back and warned: "Let's not make any noise, so as not to disturb him. Besides, he has chosen such a dangerous way. It seems that the situation inside is not optimistic. Maybe he is being chased by ghosts now."

The rest of the people either nodded or remained silent, but they all maintained absolute silence.

If Bai Yanliang knew what Li Mu was talking about, he would definitely be in tears.

I'm fine, why am I being chased by a ghost?
The reason why I chose to rappel is because this road hanging outside the wall is safe...

However, just as Bai Yanliang was sliding down in an orderly and uniform speed, suddenly! The next moment after his body jumped up, a cold night wind suddenly blew!

Oops!

Bai Yanliang thought to himself that something was wrong. He was in the air and his body was tilted by the fast night wind. He could not keep his balance and immediately swung towards the glass wall on the right!

"careful!"

Yu Sheng screamed out subconsciously, but suddenly came to his senses and quickly covered his mouth.

But she didn't have to worry at all, because her voice was not as loud as the sound of Bai Yanliang hitting the glass.

"boom--"

Bai Yanliang exerted force on his waist and abdomen and finally adjusted his posture, but his feet stepped heavily on the glass wall.

And here... is the fourth floor.

Such a huge noise immediately spread throughout the quiet building.

Just when Bai Yanliang was about to turn around and move to the solid wall of the building's corners again, he accidentally saw a completely rotten face through the glass out of the corner of his eye!
In almost an instant, the face disappeared, and Bai Yanliang saw that it was jumping three meters and quickly heading towards the top floor!

It’s coming…

No, go down to the first floor immediately!
Bai Yanliang was just about to adjust his posture and slide down quickly, but man proposes, God disposes.

He could never have imagined that the night wind that blew between the buildings not only did not stop, but instead became stronger!

He tried hard to keep his balance. It was difficult to prevent himself from being blown to and fro, let alone sliding down.

At this moment, Bai Yanliang suddenly felt a malicious gaze.

He raised his head and looked towards the rooftop.

There... a completely rotten face poked out and stared at him hanging on the wall on the fourth floor!
