Chapter 258
Chapter 258: Alien
The ghost baby’s “home” is obviously the ancient well.
Bai Yanliang had already taken a step ahead. Yu Wenxuan's expression changed and he did not follow him immediately.
In fact, he can leave the village now. Under the moonlight, the mutated villagers have regarded him as "one of their own". If he leaves the village now, he will definitely not encounter any obstruction.
However, Yu Wenxuan didn't know this. In his understanding, this was a fog collection mission and he would need to stay here for three days.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Wenxuan gave up following Bai Yanliang to the wellhead. If Bai Yanliang's judgment was correct, he would be able to successfully complete this mission. If he failed, he would not be implicated on the spot.
So, Yu Wenxuan walked in another direction.
Bai Yanliang didn't care. Yu Wenxuan's choice was reasonable. After all, it was not difficult to put the ghost baby back into the well. He could do it alone.
But...Xu Zhifei followed closely.
Bai Yanliang always felt that Xu Zhifei always wanted to tell him something, but was unable to speak, so she kept following him?
The two men and the ghost soon arrived at the ancient well, but the weird villagers in the village ignored them.
However, there was a person sitting at the edge of the well, with his back to Bai Yanliang, looking up at the moonlit night sky.
Bai Yanliang stopped and a rare look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Who are you anyway?"
Bai Yanliang held the ghost baby in his arms, took another step, and slowly approached him.
The person sitting on the edge of the well had been missing since just now...Kang Kang.
Hearing Bai Yanliang's question, Kang Kang turned his head and did not answer Bai Yanliang immediately, but looked behind him.
He seemed to be able to see Xu Zhifei.
The night is dark, the moon is bright, and the wind is strong.
Next to the dead old tree, there was an ancient well. An expressionless young man was sitting on the edge of the well. Opposite the young man was a young man holding a baby.
This scene is weird no matter how you look at it.
Bai Yanliang continued to approach him, and when the distance between them was only two or three meters, Kang Kang finally spoke.
"Shouldn't you tell me your name before asking?"
Bai Yanliang was stunned. The Kang Kang in front of him... was beyond his imagination.
"You seem surprised?"
Kang Kang smiled. His face still had the childishness of a child, but his pair of dark and bright eyes were full of depth.
He supported himself on the edge of the well with both hands, exerted a little force, jumped down, and walked in front of Bai Yanliang.
"According to your terms, I am a ghost."
This statement caught Bai Yanliang off guard even though he had been mentally prepared.
"you……"
Kang Kang looked down at the ghost baby in Bai Yanliang's arms and said, "I am it, and it... is me."
The look in his eyes when he looked at the ghost baby was very complicated, so complicated that Bai Yanliang had difficulty finding a suitable word to describe it.
"I feel strange. My birth... was a mistake, so... I developed a self-awareness that shouldn't have existed. I know who you are, and through you, I also know who 'I' am."
"Now...what about you? Can you tell me who you are?"
Kang Kang tilted his head and looked at Bai Yanliang.
Bai Yanliang was already very familiar with introducing himself, but this time, he was a little hesitant.
Everything before his eyes was beyond the fear brought by ghosts. Bai Yanliang felt... he must have come into contact with something... something he shouldn't have come into contact with at this stage.
"I am... a human, Bai Yanliang."
A very strange scene, a self-introduction between a human and a ghost.
Kang Kang's expression softened a little. He looked at Bai Yanliang and said, "Hello, Bai Yanliang." However, at this moment, the ghost baby in Bai Yanliang's arms suddenly rioted!
The moonlight began to distort strangely, and terrifying, piercing screams came from the village.
When Bai Yanliang turned his head, he saw a group of crazy villagers swarming over!
In Bai Yanliang's arms, the ghost baby was grinning grimly.
So fast……
The mutated villagers became more and more terrifying.
Their bodies were twisted strangely, and they seemed... evolved.
Bai Yanliang quickly glanced at Kang Kang and was about to throw the ghost baby into the well, but he saw... a ghostly shadow rushed into the villagers.
Kang Kang's body is so strange that it is unimaginable. He can attack from any angle. He is not only extremely strong, but also incredibly fast.
The ghost baby in Bai Yanliang's arms let out a shrill cry, and from its voice, Bai Yanliang heard unwillingness and anger.
When he looked up again, everything around him was completely quiet.
He was still wearing the same little peasant shirt, not even a speck of blood on it.
As he walked out of the mountains and sea of blood, there was still a calm smile on his face.
"never mind."
When he spoke, he didn't look at Bai Yanliang, but at the ghost baby in Bai Yanliang's arms.
Bai Yanliang could feel his kindness.
But it was precisely this kindness that surprised Bai Yanliang...
Kang Kang's inhuman behavior just now has already revealed his own weirdness. Perhaps what he said is true. He... is indeed a ghost.
But why is he rational?
Bai Yanliang was very curious, what exactly did Kang Kang want to do?
"You... are the same as me." Kang Kang looked at Bai Yanliang and said in a low voice.
Bai Yanliang shook his head repeatedly: "No... apart from gender, I don't think we have anything in common."
Kang Kang smiled and didn't care about Bai Yanliang's words.
He looked at Bai Yanliang seriously and asked:
"Ghosts aren't natural beings...right?"
Bai Yanliang looked at Kang Kang. The ghost baby in his arms was unusually quiet at this moment.
"Ah."
Bai Yanliang nodded.
"Then...what exactly is a ghost?" Kang Kang looked at him puzzledly.
"A collection of filth, a concentration of malice, a monster that feeds on humans." Bai Yanliang said slowly.
"Is this so..."
Kang Kang withdrew his gaze, remained silent and stopped talking.
"You just said that I am the same as you, why?" Bai Yanliang asked.
"You..." He stared at Bai Yanliang and said seriously: "I can feel that... you are also an alien among humans, and... I can feel the breath of a ghost in you."
Alien? Ghost?
Bai Yanliang's heart trembled, and the previous scene suddenly appeared in his mind.
He once... seemed to have died once, and it was Yanren who resurrected him using three keys.
Could it be...is it because of this reason?
"So, you often feel out of place in the human world, right?" he asked.
"...I guess so." Bai Yanliang said calmly.
