Yecheng, by the river.

Bai Yanliang leaned on the railing and looked at the river quietly.

The river is still, like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and tall buildings.

If you look closely, you can see that the water by the river is exceptionally clear, and even the fine sand and pebbles in it can be seen clearly.

A breeze blew by, gently ruffling his hair, the corners of his clothes, and the calm surface of the water.

Qi Nian is dead.

Died at the 1st and 6th time nodes.

Bai Yanliang really wanted to get rid of the emotion that made him feel uneasy, but that was precisely the evidence of his being a human being.

People change.

And Wuji shortens this process to a very short time.

Whether it is feelings or experiences, they all need time to settle.

For ordinary people, a small thing about love can make them depressed for a year or two.

But it doesn't work in the fog. There are too many joys and sorrows to say goodbye to, too many lives and deaths to commemorate.

Those trapped in the curse, before they even have the time to get to know each other or realize the meaning of their existence, are deprived of their lives by the bizarre and strange, and abandoned in the past, forever silent.

Bai Yanliang doesn't care much about the people coming and going around him.

Even Ren Wudao, Gao Fei, and He Yige, Yu Sheng all chose to betray them.

Even when facing Li Mu's death, most of the time he just felt that he should do something, rather than that he had to do something.

He does not share the joys and sorrows of the world.

He even felt that he was not without emotions, but was born heartless.

Just like when he faced Qi Nian, he could sense her feelings, but he felt from beginning to end that her fragile love seemed vulnerable to Wu Ji's terrifying and bizarre curse.

However, the facts told him.

He was wrong.

How wrong.

The solidity and depth of her emotions were like a moth flying into a flame. Although it could not fly beyond the vicissitudes of life, it used its life to bid the most grand farewell.

Nothing is more important than your own life. In order to survive, anything you do is forgivable.

Bai Yanliang held this view for a very long time.

He even met Yu Wenxuan who shared the same views as him.

But, just like I thought of just now.

People change.

Separation of life and death, joy, pain, experiencing life and death and a changing life, experiencing all kinds of incredible and bizarre things, everyone is changing the ending of the story, and at the same time, they are also being changed by the story.

People are not independent and solitary.

The mental hospital where he had been imprisoned for ten years had quietly become out of reach.

I don’t know when it started, but there were some people passing by in Bai Yanliang’s life. They penetrated, intertwined, and influenced each other.

Unconsciously, both his body and soul were left with traces that did not belong to him. Some came from the world, some from time, and some came from people who Bai Yanliang thought had no influence on him but eventually caused a stir.

Be human, make him human.

Xu Zhifei stood far away, just looking at him from afar, without approaching or speaking.

The wind blew her usual black dress and waist-length hair, and her supposedly cold eyes seemed to have a hint of loss.

She could feel that Bai Yanliang had changed.

It wasn't a change that could be detected by the naked eye, but one could feel that he had become... more real.

Xu Zhifei did not choose to go forward to disturb Bai Yanliang, but someone walked behind Bai Yanliang. "Are you thinking about Qi Nian?"

Song Que imitated Bai Yanliang and leaned on the railing.

"Ah."

Bai Yanliang was still looking at the river without looking back.

"Your expression right now is just like my dad's when he saw the company's stock plummet."

Bai Yanliang finally turned around, looked at Song Que, and smiled: "Thank you."

Song Que spat disdainfully, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to comfort you. Although you're smart, the others aren't fools either. You just evaded Yu Wenxuan's question with a more urgent one. Now they've rushed to Tsing Yi Street, but I remember that you never answered his question directly."

Bai Yanliang looked into Song Que's eyes and said, "If I say that I don't know why Wu Ji targeted me, do you believe me?"

"I believe it, of course I do!" Song Que shook his hair and smiled, "God is jealous of talented people, but this phrase is suitable for everyone who is left. Have you ever thought about what is special about you compared to us?"

Song Que had thought about Bai Yanliang a long time ago. At first, he thought it was the key left by Bai Yanren, but later, after the key was given to Xun Weimo, the situation still developed in the same way.

It was obvious that the problem lay with him.

This is also one of the biggest reasons why Bai Yanliang doubts whether he is human.

If it is said that Wu Ji's rules are "biased" towards humans and are beneficial to humans, then it can be explained why it deliberately and cruelly adds his name to every mission.

He is not human.

Judging from the information he has obtained, Bai Yanliang himself feels that he may not be human.

At least… not real humans.

But there was a change in the last mission. The memory of the little guy in his body told him that the haunted ghost had once transformed into Bai Yanren.

Ghosts are a very special and strange existence.

To some extent, it is even omniscient and omnipotent.

Perhaps in order to seduce Bai Yanliang, it perfectly replicated everything about Bai Yanren, but what it didn't expect was that the one who controlled the body at that time was not Bai Yanliang, but the child "Bai Yanren".

However, is what it said to the child "Bai Yanren" true?
In fact, deep down, Bai Yanliang was very willing to believe everything it said.

At least then he would be a real human, a real… Shiro Kento’s brother.

They were still brothers, and he was not a monster that emerged from Bai Yanren's shadow.

But it was a ghost after all...what it said was not credible at all.

It was simply meant to deceive people and induce them to agree to its words.

what about now?

How should I answer Song Que? Answer Yu Wenxuan? Answer everyone?

Should I tell them bluntly, I'm sorry, I may not be human?

Bai Yanliang believed that if he really said that, Yu Wenxuan would definitely be very interested in dissecting him.

"Don't know?" Song Que looked at Bai Yanliang, "Silence?"

Bai Yanliang still didn't speak.

Song Que looked up at the sky and stretched his neck. "Well, silence itself is also a kind of answer. You may have known the reason why Wu Ji targeted you, but you can't tell us that reason, because it will do more harm than good, right?"

"Ah."

Bai Yanliang nodded.

"Okay, got it."

Song Que turned his head to look at Bai Yanliang, "Now, let's talk about what you know about that villa."
