Industry city.

"Your mother...left you two keys?"

Bai Yanliang tried his words. He felt that Xu Zhifei was not in a very good mood when he mentioned his family, but he really needed to understand these situations.

"Ding"

The elevator door opened and Xu Zhifei stepped out. She didn't look back. As she opened the door, she simply said, "The other one is his."

he.

It’s a very unfamiliar word, but it’s not difficult to guess that Xu Zhifei is referring to his father.

Both parents were cursed, no wonder Xu Zhifei seemed different from normal people since he was born.

"squeak"

Xu Zhifei pushed open the door, but stood there without moving.

Bai Yanliang took a look and his expression suddenly changed.

Someone has been in there.

The air humidity was not right. Xu Zhifei's automatic humidifier had been turned on again after he left.

The two exchanged glances, and Bai Yanliang took the lead and entered the house.

He took a quick glance, then shook his head at Xu Zhifei and said, "Let's go."

Only then did Xu Zhifei close the door.

"He didn't rummage through anything, and left no extra traces. It doesn't look like a burglary." As he spoke, Bai Yanliang's expression changed slightly, "The key."

Xu Zhifei also thought of this. She walked straight to the balcony and picked up a flowerpot with no plants in it, only soil.

A dark key appeared.

Xu Zhifei breathed a sigh of relief, put the flowerpot aside, and picked up the key.

Bai Yanliang looked a little strange.

Such an important thing, and she actually hid it under a flowerpot?
Xu Zhifei seemed to know what Bai Yanliang was thinking. She said seriously, "My mother taught me."

Well... that is indeed the key, no doubt about it.

"I have a question. If the key is left like this, won't it be sensed by other key holders?"

Bai Yanliang asked.

Xu Zhifei looked at the key in his palm, then threw it to Bai Yanliang: "Now, soak it with your palm blood and carry it with you so that it can be sensed."

Bai Yanliang quickly caught the key that Xu Zhifei threw to him.

So, neither the individual key nor the individual key holder can be sensed?

Only when the key is carried by its holder can it be sensed by other holders.

But...if that's the case.

Bai Yanliang's heart sank, and a strange thing came to his mind.

Before, he had always been wearing Bai Yanren's key, but his key could be sensed by Feng Xiuxue, and he believed that Xu Zhifei could also sense it.

Not only them, but members of the Abyss could also sense it and even attacked him repeatedly.

But that key was clearly used by Bai Yanren, and Bai Yanliang was not the holder of the key at all.

Why... can the existence of him and the key be sensed by other holders?

The bizarre image that flashed through my mind when I used the blood-red key before seemed to provide additional evidence.

Are he and Bai Yanren really the same person...

"Bai Yanliang." Xu Zhifei suddenly looked at him seriously.

"what happened?"

"Who... are you?" Xu Zhifei's voice seemed to knock on his soul.

Who am I? Bai Yanliang looked quietly at the black key in his hand.

After a long while, he finally made up his mind, stared at Xu Zhifei, and said, "Before you asked me what my key can do, now I will tell you."

Bai Yanliang's face showed some slight confusion and pain, "The ability of the blood-red key is... to create another self."

Xu Zhifei was stunned. Although she understood every word Bai Yanliang said, she felt a little confused when she put them together.

"Creating... another self?"

If Bai Yanliang hadn't had a calm look and was not sober, Xu Zhifei would have thought that there was something wrong with his brain.

"When I pushed open the vermilion door, I sensed danger, so I pierced my palm and activated the power of the blood-red key."

Bai Yanliang's voice was very light, as if he was talking about something insignificant. "At the moment of death... I saw that I was born from the shadow of... my brother... Bai Yanren."

"At that time, I was just a body. Then, he used three keys to wake me up."

Xu Zhifei, who had been watching Bai Yanliang, noticed that this man who was always calm and composed actually had his pupils trembling violently.

He was afraid, he was horrified, but he had lost those emotions, so all he was left with was pain.

"Xu Zhifei... who do you think I am?" Bai Yanliang looked at Xu Zhifei, "Bai Yanren? Bai Yanren's shadow? Or... a monster."

Bai Yanliang leaned on the balcony, his hand holding the key trembling slightly.

"I also used the blood-red key, so why couldn't I create another life from the shadow? Because... I am the shadow, I am the life that was created... That soul, perhaps, was an accident caused by my specialness..."

"I don't know...what exactly am I now..."

"I have no idea……"

Xu Zhifei looked at him in a daze. In her memory, Bai Yanliang seemed to know everything. He had a wide range of knowledge and was always so confident that he could find a solution to any dilemma.

But at this moment, he was confused.

He also has puzzles that he cannot solve, and he also has...predicaments that he cannot get out of.

"Bai Yanliang."

"Ok?"

Bai Yanliang turned his head and looked at Xu Zhifei.

He had intended to keep these things to himself and not mention them to anyone, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it from Xu Zhifei.

The existence of the child who called himself Bai Yanren already made her very confused, not to mention... she took out her father's relics and was willing to help him.

Bai Yanliang never felt that he had done anything good to Xu Zhifei. Similarly, there was actually not much entanglement between him and Xu Zhifei.

Maybe, she would help him, just because of that dream.

Xu Zhifei was obviously also very conflicted. She was afraid of the predetermined future, but she subconsciously believed in him.

Perhaps out of gratitude for her trust, or perhaps as a reward for her help, Bai Yanliang told her the deepest secret in his heart without much hesitation.

Perhaps because Xu Zhifei had been lonely for too long, his eyes were still cold and a little creepy.

She put on a less cold expression, with a stiff curve at the corner of her mouth, looked at Bai Yanliang, and said, "I say, why is Bai Yanliang not in the options?"

Bai Yanliang stared at her blankly, and suddenly felt that maybe he was being too pretentious.

"Well then, Bai Yanren, Bai Yanren's shadow, the monster..." He looked down at his palm, "and... Bai Yanliang."

"You said...what am I?"

"monster!"

“…Hmm…Ah?”

Bai Yanliang raised his head with his eyes wide open, but only saw a brisk figure.

"I said, you are a monster." Xu Zhifei suddenly turned around. In the shadows, the expression on her face seemed to soften a lot. "But, I am also..."
