Chapter 257 Seeing Through
Chapter 257: See Through

This is not good news.

Those monsters were neither human nor ghost, yet incredibly agile, almost like a new species.

Yu Wenxuan was silent, his eyes wandering a little. He was already planning how to escape.

It was obviously not a good idea to stay at Village Chief Kang's house. Those dense footsteps were coming towards Village Chief Kang's house.

The one who gave them guidance was most likely the baby lying on the ground in the yard.

There is no doubt that the damn baby is a ghost.

But what is strange is why it turned Village Chief Kang into a recliner and lay on him?
Is it a punishment?

The punishment for Village Chief Kang’s offensive behavior?
It is not impossible, but if that is the case, this ghost is too humane.

The more Yu Wenxuan thought about it, the more he felt something was strange.

Soon, he was sure that he must have missed some crucial information, or...

His eyes turned to Bai Yanliang.

This man… was hiding something from him.

That's right.

Yu Wenxuan guessed right.

Bai Yanliang did hide something from him. What caused the changes in the village was not a ghost at all, but a key that appeared in the real world and was not condensed from the fog.

Its existence intrigued Bai Yanliang, so he chose to conceal it.

After all, judging from Yu Wenxuan's personality and character, if he knew that the source of the weirdness in this village came from a key, and that the key was most likely on the ghost baby in the yard, this man would definitely turn against them.

Bai Yanliang is very sure of this. If divided according to the camp, Yu Wenxuan should be a lawful evil character. Bai Yanliang does not mind cooperating with him, but he will never trust him unconditionally and in every detail.

"Mr. Bai, do you want to stay here?"

Yu Wenxuan clearly expressed his intention of "I'm leaving now, do as you please."

At this time, Bai Yanliang slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yu Wenxuan, and asked a question that surprised him.

"Do you think Lu Guo really died in the moonlight?"

this problem……

Yu Wenxuan frowned. What did Bai Yanliang mean?
He thought about it carefully and realized that Lu Guo's toes were indeed illuminated by the moonlight, and then something strange happened. Is there still any controversy about this?
Bai Yanliang knew what he was thinking at the moment by looking at his expression.

"We all overlooked one thing. When Lu Guo was looking at the ancient well on the hillside, he was also cursed, but there were no specific consequences. He was not like Miss Xu, who almost immediately produced the terrible effects of the curse." At this point, Bai Yanliang looked at Yu Wenxuan, "I wonder if it is possible that it was just a coincidence, and the curse was triggered when the moon shone on his toes."

Yu Wenxuan looked at Bai Yanliang in surprise, "You mean, being exposed to moonlight itself won't cause any abnormalities? Lu Guo just happened to curse at that time?"

"Yeah." Bai Yanliang lowered his head, but what he thought of was the mastermind behind this mission - Abyss.

This was not a Wu Ji mission at all, but an operation to kill all the people in Wu Ji.

why?
Why did they get rid of Wu Ji's people? Why did they leave Yu Sheng behind?
It was not difficult to figure this out, and Bai Yanliang came up with the answer a long time ago.

That is... they had the same plan as Yu Wenxuan - to speed up the process of fog gathering.

However, their methods are more violent than Yu Wenxuan's.

Leaving only Yu Sheng alone and killing the rest means... the end of Wu Ji. The key can only condense from Yu Sheng's palm.

Therefore, they went to great lengths to create a fake Wuji mission, using the power of a certain key combined with the weird village in reality, in an attempt to capture all the people in Wuji in one fell swoop.

The rules of this nightmare world are made by them, and of course... they also have to follow certain rules, so everything is not completely unsolvable.

But they can mislead as much as possible, so there is the correct interpretation from Wu Ji, "Hide from the moon in the mountains, fish out the coffin from the bottom of the water." If it is a real Wu Ji mission, there should be no problem if you do this, but this is just a trap.

So... we must do the opposite.

In other words, not only can we not hide from the moon, but we should actively explore the moonlight!
"You said before that after you and Jiang Li climbed over the wall, there was no movement from the other side of the wall where Lu Guo was. What do you think about this?"

Yu Wenxuan already understood Bai Yanliang's meaning, and he quickly recalled the situation at that time.

"...Yes, logically speaking, when the half-human, half-ghost old lady Wu ran into Lu Guo who was undergoing a change, there would definitely be a conflict, but at that time everything was calm and nothing happened. The only possibility... is that Lu Guo was also exposed to the moonlight and was mistaken for the same kind by old lady Wu."

"So..." Bai Yanliang pushed open the door, and the moonlight suddenly shone in.

At the same time, a large number of strange villagers appeared in front of him, covering the whole sky!

Their scarlet eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light, and their twisted limbs lying on the ground and their saliva dripping constantly were chilling.

These monsters…they look at them like they’re food.

But Bai Yanliang's expression remained unchanged. As he stepped into the moonlight, he said, "According to Village Chief Kang, bathing in the moonlight is also one of the rules..."

Yu Wenxuan and the invisible Xu Zhifei followed Bai Yanliang closely and slowly walked into the yard under the dense and terrifying gazes all around.

Bai Yanliang squatted down with interest, took a closer look at the mutated villager lying at his feet, and marveled at it.

"Look, do they look like those virus-infected zombies in foreign movies?"

Yu Wenxuan was not in the mood for that. Although he was sure that he was a courageous man, walking among the strange creatures in the yard, smelling the disgusting stench, and hearing them breathing so close... all of this made it difficult for him to remain calm.

An idea popped into Yu Wenxuan's mind.

Maybe... Bai Yanliang is the real pervert?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Bai Yanliang do an extremely terrifying move.

Bai Yanliang walked through a group of strange villagers, stepped over the rotten corpses on the ground, and came to the side of the terrifying ghost baby.

Then...he picked it up.

The ghost baby suddenly opened its eyes, and its terrifying black eyes stared at Bai Yanliang. Blue veins bulged all over its head, and it was wriggling wildly like a twisted snake.

The temperature around suddenly dropped several degrees, and Bai Yanliang sneezed because of the cold.

“Don’t look at me like that.” Bai Yanliang held the ghost baby and looked down at it. “You turned the village chief into a chair, created a bunch of rotting corpses, and created a terrifying scene of the sky and the earth changing color, but you shouldn’t have summoned this group of villagers who are neither human nor ghost, because this can only mean…”

Bai Yanliang smiled and said, "You still don't have the power to hurt us, little brother."

Yu Wenxuan also heard Bai Yanliang's voice. For the first time, he had some thoughts about Bai Yanliang, such as "Don't mess with him" and "Don't make an enemy of him", but he had to admit that Bai Yanliang was a very powerful guy.

"Where are you taking it?"

Seeing Bai Yanliang holding the ghost baby and walking through a group of strange villagers, almost walking out of Village Chief Kang's yard, Yu Wenxuan immediately followed him and asked in a low voice.

Bai Yanliang glanced forward and said, "Let it go home."
