Chapter 220 Newcomers
Chapter 220 Newcomer
Half a month has passed since the last time I left without saying goodbye.

That day, Bai Yanliang was sitting by the window, reading a book about the soul, when he suddenly received a call.

The person calling was Feng Xiuxue.

Bai Yanliang answered the call: "Hello."

"Look at your phone."

Feng Xiuxue just said these three words and immediately hung up the phone.

Usually, when she said this, she meant that Bai Yanliang should go to Wu Ji's chat room.

Are they talking about anything interesting?
Bai Yanliang opened the chat room.

"The key can free us from the curse!"

"But...how do I get the key?"

"I don't know...but the outline of a key has grown on our palms. According to that, this is proof of our eligibility to obtain the key."

"Great, there is finally hope..."

The chat room was buzzing with activity.

Bai Yanliang understood what Feng Xiuxue meant. He scrolled through the messages and finally saw a document sent anonymously.

That document explains in detail what the palm outlines mean, and what the key does.

In other words... now everyone in Wu Ji knows the secret of the key.

Who sent that document?

What's the benefit to him?
Bai Yanliang lowered his head and thought about it. Just when he had some idea, he suddenly felt an intense burning sensation in his chest!
Bai Yanliang immediately realized that Wu Ji had summoned him and the next mission was about to begin...

However, the next moment, Bai Yanliang was stunned.

No... I can only enter Wu Ji with the help of Yanren's key.

Why can he still feel Wu Ji’s call now that Yanren’s key has been given to Xun Weimo?
But in this case...how can he get in?
wrong……

Bai Yanliang looked at his palm in silence.

The outline of the key in the palm of his left hand has become increasingly clear.

He seemed to have been getting one thing wrong all along.

Perhaps at the beginning, he was indeed summoned by Kirito because of Bai Yanren's key.

And if he wanted to enter Wu Ji, the only way was to use the key to open the door.

However... from the moment the outline of the key appeared on his palm, it meant that he himself had fallen into the curse.

Even without the key, he would be summoned by Wu Ji and would not be able to escape!

After realizing this, Bai Yanliang reached out for the door handle and gently turned it.

A burst of white light appeared, and several figures appeared in the fog.

As expected...even without the key, he could open Wu Ji's door.

The door behind him slowly closed and disappeared into the void.

What Bai Yanliang didn't know was that the moment he entered Wu Ji, Xun Weimo, who lived next door to him, suddenly took out a key from the drawer. This key... was Yanren's key. What puzzled Xun Weimo was that this key was emitting a dim but bright white light.

……

Bai Yanliang's figure entering Wu Ji was soon noticed by others.

"Mr. Bai, do you know about the key?"

Li Yuejun said excitedly.

Bai Yanliang remembered her. She was part of his first mission.

Although he was not impressed, Bai Yanliang still smiled politely: "I saw it."

"That's great! If what that person said is true, then we both have a chance to completely escape the curse!"

"Well, it's pretty good." Bai Yanliang said perfunctorily.

He doesn't like to pin his hopes on "what ifs".

Bai Yanliang glanced around. Apart from the large door that appeared out of nowhere, there was no other change in Wu Ji.

But that door has become more and more real.

And...it seems a little bigger than last time.

When he looked around, people familiar with him either smiled back or waved to greet him, but when he saw Yu Sheng, Bai Yanliang felt a little strange. She clearly saw him, but turned her head away as if she didn't recognize him.

"Everyone is here."

At this time, Li Mu spoke.

During this period of time, he has been investigating the whereabouts of Abyss in Ye City, but the people of that organization are so elusive that he has found nothing until now.

Therefore, his mental state has become extremely bad, and he looks much older.

As he asked the question, everyone turned their heads to look.

There were originally eighteen people, and three of them died in the last mission.

So…there are only fifteen people left in Wuji.

However, at this moment, a door suddenly opened in the void!

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

A tall figure stepped out and Bai Yanliang's pupils shrank.

This person turned out to be... Ren Wudao!

There’s a new person coming.

There is a newcomer this time!
"Excuse me, sir, what is your name?"

Du Shangjing stepped forward and asked.

Ren Wudao's eyes, like a knife, swept towards him, making Du Shangjing feel uncomfortable all over.

This man is a little strange.

Seeing that Ren Wudao did not answer, Du Shangjing continued: "You may not believe what I am about to say, but it is all true. In fact... this place is..."

"Wu Ji." Ren Wudao interrupted him, "I know."

After giving this thought-provoking answer, Ren Wudao fell silent again.

At this time, Feng Xiuxue came close to Bai Yanliang and whispered, "He has the key."

Bai Yanliang's heart moved when he heard this. He lowered his head and was about to ask in detail, but he found that Feng Xiuxue was staring at him.

"By the way, where are your keys?"

Bai Yanliang looked at her and said nothing.

Feng Xiuxue was silent for a moment, as if she understood something. She quickly withdrew her gaze from Bai Yanliang, turned around and left without saying a word.

Qi Nian watched from a distance and wanted to go forward, not knowing what had happened to the two men.

Bai Yanliang didn't pay too much attention to Feng Xiuxue's affairs.

It was a good thing that she shifted her attention away from him. Although the look in her eyes when she left just now made Bai Yanliang feel a little unhappy, he still thought that keeping a distance from Feng Xiuxue was the right thing to do.

Bai Yanliang looked at Ren Wudao again, then looked at Yu Sheng.

These two people are obviously siblings, but now they act as if they don't know each other.

There must be a reason for this.

"Li Mu, let's talk about other things before the mission is released."

Lu Guo looked at Li Mu and said.

"If it's about the key, I will invite everyone to discuss it after this mission."

Li Mu said tiredly, his eyes were bloodshot.

Lu Guo nodded. This matter concerned the fate of everyone, so he had to find out the truth and come up with a plan.

Everyone agreed with Li Mu's words. Time was so tight now that they couldn't come up with anything to discuss, and it would only disturb their minds before the mission began.

Everything...will have to wait until after this mission.

When everyone was thinking this, blood words appeared in the void.

But the first eight words made everyone's heart tremble.

A fear that had almost been forgotten quietly emerged.

"Hide the moon in the mountains and fish for the coffin in the water."
