Chapter 19 Twists and turns
Chapter 19: Twists and Turns
For the first time, Bai Yanliang felt a subtle and strange emotion regarding Jiang Li's choice.

This feeling... is weird?
Especially when the girl pulled his clothes without hesitation and hid behind him.

This strange emotion was amplified again...

After trying hard to judge, Bai Yanliang finally determined that this emotion should be... the happiness of being trusted.

But... this feels good.

Bai Yanliang looked down at her and said nothing, but looked towards the elevator.

That's right.

Jiang Li made the right bet. The Bai Yanliang who came up the stairs was the real Bai Yanliang.

As for the man in the elevator, his eyes were now flashing with undisguised ferocity.

And then...the elevator door closed.

Watching "his" figure disappear, Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She also saw the look in the eyes of that "Bai Yanliang". Now, she was finally sure that the guy next to her was the real Bai Yanliang.

It’s just… Jiang Li felt a throbbing sensation in her heart that she was too ashamed to admit. She didn’t expect… that the real Bai Yanliang would actually come to save her.

And at such a great risk.

However, if the girl knew Bai Yanliang's true thoughts, she might be disappointed.

After all, saving her was secondary. The main reason was just to confirm Bai Yanliang's own idea.

And now, Bai Yanliang can finally confirm that idea.

"He" retreated again.

In front of two humans, "he" once again chose to retreat.

This means that this ghost with the ability to camouflage is, for some reason, unable to kill anyone!
Perhaps because he has the ability to disguise himself as a human, he has lost his other strange abilities, and even his strength is similar to that of a human.

Or perhaps, some restrictions were imposed on "him", which made it impossible for him to take any action against humans.

All in all, this is a good thing, a very good thing that can enable Bai Yanliang to do more dangerous things.

Thinking of this, Bai Yanliang couldn't help but feel a little happier.

He looked down at Jiang Li and asked with a smile, "Would you like to take the elevator or the stairs, Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Li glared at him and rolled her eyes, then said, "Stairs."

Bai Yanliang nodded, turned around and took the lead to walk towards the stairs. Although to him, there was no difference between the elevator and the stairs, he was sure that this ghost posed no threat at all. He even thought that if he had known earlier, he should have opened the door for "him" when he just woke up. In that case... he should be able to learn a lot of information from "him".

Thinking of this, Bai Yanliang actually felt a little regretful.

But having said that, if he really went back to the early morning, he would still make the same choice.

Looking at Bai Yanliang's profile as he fell into deep thought, Jiang Li suddenly realized something.

Until this moment she couldn't believe that this newcomer who had just entered Wu Ji really came to save her.

But... only newbies and fools would do such a stupid thing in the fog...

But Jiang Li didn't hate fools. After all... it was because of those fools who were so stupid as to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others that everyone in the fog could feel that they were still "people", living people...

……

Xu Zhian is following someone.

To be precise, it was a waiter. He had just received shocking news from Bai Yanliang, that is, Zhang Qiao was dead.

And he has turned into a ghost, hiding under Bai Yanliang's bed.

So...what about Ding Lei's wife Li Yuhua? What about Zhang Qiao's husband?
These two people... just disappeared mysteriously?

And Ding Lei, because today is Sunday, he seemed to stay at home and did not show up.

Mysteries flashed through Xu Zhian's mind, but he was not prepared to sort them out one by one. He just needed to do his own thing.

This is the valuable experience summed up by those who survived the fog.

Don't try to cut corners and waste time waiting for the deadline. Don't go too deep and get stuck in the fog.

Both of these will lead to a quick death.

Therefore, it is best for each of us to explore different directions.

After the investigation just now, Xu Zhian not only learned that Zhang Qiao’s husband’s name was Ding Peng, but also learned the name of the waiter who was specifically responsible for the couple - Jiang Chaojie.

Ding Peng is the younger brother of Ding Lei, the owner of Ruyi Hotel, and Jiang Chaojie is the waiter specially arranged by Ding Lei to take care of Ding Peng and his wife.

But... now it seems that there seems to be something wrong with this Jiang Chaojie.

"Jie...Brother Jie, should we call the police? This matter will be exposed sooner or later. If...if..."

Xu Zhian hid in the corner, listening to the deep male voice coming from the other side of the corridor.

It seems...the police were mentioned?

"Don't meddle in other people's business." Jiang Chaojie looked at the thin man in front of him with a gloomy look, "Just pretend you didn't see anything. We still have some money to take. If you meddle in other people's business..."

“But…but…” The thin man in front of him stuttered and seemed very frightened.

He was wearing the same clothes as Jiang Chaojie and seemed to be a hotel staff.

Jiang Chaojie stared at him impatiently. The skinny man in front of him was called Wang Sheng, and he was a complete timid guy.

"The boss lady has been left there for almost a week. The weather is hot, so the stench should have been discovered long ago, but...but why..." At this point, Wang Sheng seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said tremblingly: "No...could it be that the boss lady has turned into a ghost?"

"That's enough!" Jiang Chaojie pushed Wang Sheng hard, put his hands on his shoulders and slammed him against the wall, cursing, "What the hell? Shut up! When the time comes... we'll take the money and leave, and we'll keep everything we saw to ourselves!"

Wang Sheng is still timid after all, and he is a man with no ideas, otherwise he would have called the police long ago.

After hearing what Jiang Chaojie said, he nodded repeatedly and didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Chaojie finally let go of his hand.

He frowned and looked at his palm and said, "Why is your shoulder wet?"

Wet?

Wang Sheng turned his head to look at his shoulder and saw that it was indeed wet.

He scratched his head in confusion: "I...I don't know, is there a leak in the ceiling?"

Having said that, Wang Sheng subconsciously looked up at the ceiling.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and his face turned pale!
The ceiling had been soaked by water at some point, and... Wang Sheng clearly saw... that the wet areas had formed a clear, pale woman's face!

Wang Sheng was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground with a plop. His blood was completely washed away. He pointed at the ceiling with trembling fingers and shouted in fear:
“Ghost…Ghost, there is a ghost!”
