Chapter 285 Lawyer
Chapter 285 Lawyer

Just like ice and snow suddenly exposed to the hottest days of summer, the whole world melted rapidly.

The splashing water droplets became the most deadly poison to the evil ghosts. When Xu Zhifei poured water on the female ghost, it didn't even struggle or howl, and quietly turned into a pool of water with complex colors, flowing on the ground.

Bai Yanliang fell down with a thud. Before Xu Zhifei could even look at him, he felt dizzy.

……

"call--"

The cool river breeze blew her long hair.

Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhifei were still standing by the river, not moving an inch.

"Cough cough..."

Bai Yanliang rubbed his neck and breathed heavily.

Xu Zhifei was as mysterious and elegant as ever. The water stains on his body disappeared out of thin air, and the injury on his ankle had healed.

"If there is no death, there will be recovery." Xu Zhifei said.

Bai Yanliang looked up at her and said, "It's a psychological effect. Coughing twice will make you feel better."

Xu Zhifei stared at him intently: "Three minutes?"

Bai Yan avoided her gaze guiltily: "I just...want to escape."

He told the truth. Firstly, he didn't like lying, and secondly, Xu Zhifei looked like the type who wouldn't be fooled.

"But that guy really exists, and I spend half of his time with him."

Xu Zhifei listened quietly and asked in confusion: "What is the ability of your key?"

Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment, then turned his head and stared at the river in a trance.

By now, he already understood the ability of the silver-white key left by Bai Yanren.

That key can only be used once, and...Bai Yanren has already used it.

The cool breeze from the river eased the complicated feelings in Bai Yanliang's heart. He turned around and looked at Xu Zhifei, asking irrelevantly, "Why did you save me?"

"destiny."

For the first time, Xu Zhifei's voice sounded confused.

"destiny?"

Bai Yanliang felt a little curious about the two words she said.

"You know what?" Xu Zhifei's eyes were less cold, "When you appeared in my dream, I was very scared."

She looked at Bai Yanliang without any concealment.

"Yeah, I know. You said I was like a ghost and killed everyone."

Bai Yanliang recalled the first time he met Xu Zhifei.

"I'm not afraid of this." Xu Zhifei shook her head. She looked at Bai Yanliang seriously. "To me, you are just a stranger, but my future... has you."

Xu Zhifei looked towards the river quietly: "I am afraid that my fate is determined by me."

destiny……

Bai Yanliang glanced at her profile, but still couldn't tell her emotions.

It was a predetermined fate... not only for her, but also for him.

However, Xu Zhifei’s dream might have been arranged by some illusory will, but he... was arranged by another person.

Bai Yanliang even thought about whether everything he was experiencing now was in accordance with the path designed by Bai Yanren?

Even if it was... to let him discover "his" existence at this moment.

The two were silent for a while, until they remembered the guy who had set up the plan but was ruined by them.

The two searched the surrounding area, but this time they failed to find any bodies.

Until... a business card was discovered.

Bai Yanliang picked it up and read softly: "Yinshui Law Firm - He Yige."

Lawyer He...why is your business card here?
Xu Zhifei also took a look and seemed to remember He Yige. After all, He Yige often appeared in the Yecheng Police Station.

"He is the attacker." Xu Zhifei said with certainty, "But he is not dead."

Bai Yanliang neither nodded nor denied it.

He has always had a good impression of He Yige. This lawyer He knows how to handle things in a proper manner and it is very comfortable to get along with him.

But many times, Bai Yanliang deliberately did not think about some details.

For example...why did He Yige appear at the scene inexplicably in the previous cases?

Once might be a coincidence, but twice, three times...it's intriguing.

Bai Yanliang didn't want to doubt him, but he was indeed worthy of suspicion.

First of all, he is undoubtedly a member of a space similar to the Mist Space.

When Ren Wudao disappeared, it was He Yige who led him to the Mercury Night.

However…the boss of Mercury Night is also a key holder.

In addition, in the abyss, there is a person code-named Lawyer who has always concerned Bai Yanliang.

However, if He Yige is the lawyer, it would be too rash.

But at present, this is indeed He Yige's trick. The real and the fake are superimposed on each other. It can't fool fools, but it can have a good effect in front of people like Bai Yanliang.

"You know the Abyss, right?" Bai Yanliang put away the business card and looked at Xu Zhifei.

Xu Zhifei nodded: "I've come into contact with their cases. They are a criminal gang with a strong sense of ritual."

"It's not just a sense of ritual." Bai Yanliang said, "They have mastered a method that can remove the negative effects of using the key by killing people."

"For example...he failed this time, but he was not killed by the evil spirit."

Xu Zhifei didn't show any surprise, but Bai Yanliang's next words made her face turn cold.

"The last mission was not issued by Wu Ji, but they used the key to create a world of both reality and illusion through the members of Wu Ji. The purpose should be to speed up the completion of Wu Ji and make it easier for them to get a new key." Bai Yanliang said this.

"Do they have people inside Wu Ji?" Xu Zhifei looked at Bai Yanliang and asked.

"Yu Sheng, Ren Wudao."

Bai Yanliang mentioned two names.

"Gu Pingsheng, Feng Xiuxue is also suspicious." Then, Bai Yanliang added two more people.

Xu Zhifei glanced at Bai Yanliang unexpectedly, but saw that Bai Yanliang's expression suddenly changed. He looked at her seriously and said, "I won't want to die anymore."

Xu Zhifei didn't quite understand why he suddenly said this, and then he saw a faint but real bitter smile on his face. Then, Bai Yanliang's eyes lit up and he grabbed Xu Zhifei's sleeve.

"elder sister!"

Xu Zhifei was stunned, and finally understood what Bai Yanliang meant by what he just said.

It turned out that this little guy came out...

For Xu Zhifei, she is better at communicating with people like Bai Yanliang who talk about all sorts of things and say half of what they mean.

Instead of chatting with a child who has wide eyes and is always looking at you with curiosity.

"are you hungry?"

After a moment's silence, Xu Zhifei realized that she could not take any other action now. Everything had to wait until Bai Yanliang "came back", so she asked this question.

Bai Yanliang's already bright eyes became even brighter at this moment. He jumped up happily and clapped his hands, "Yanren wants to eat marshmallows!"

Xu Zhifei quickly grabbed him and left in a hurry amid the incredulous gazes of the passers-by around him.

But neither she nor Bai Yanliang noticed that a man holding a little black cat had been watching them on a bench by the river. The little black cat kept struggling, as if trying to pounce on them.

"Have you found him..."

The man murmured, holding the little black cat in his arms, with a smile on his face, he stood up and left.
