Chapter 382 Encounter
In the corridor, footsteps coming from the bow gradually revealed the outline of a human figure.

That person is...Xu Zhifei?

Bai Yanliang looked at the white dress that seemed to be glowing in the hazy moonlight.

Frankly speaking, Xu Zhifei's look is not much different from that of a ghost.

But...is it really her?

Will the ghost concentrated in the fog this time turn into other people?

Questions flew through Bai Yanliang's mind one after another. Besides, some "feelings" that had never appeared before...that he could not describe were brewing in his chest.

He thought about the phone call he would make in the future.

Everyone's phone number became invalid, except Xu Zhifei's number, which was answered by a little girl.

Out of some inexplicable excitement, Bai Yanliang immediately hung up the phone.

But at this moment…the moment he was forcibly recalled by Wu Ji, the feeling at that time continued again.

It's really hard to describe this feeling.

however……

When Bai Yanliang saw Xu Zhifei's condition, those suspicious "feelings" that he was not familiar with and his speculations about her identity were temporarily put aside.

Because at this moment Xu Zhifei was covered in blood.

"despair--"

"Tat-tat--"

Xu Zhifei's steps were shaking, her hands hung limply, and drops of blood were dripping down from her fingertips.

She also saw the figure in the shadow of the corridor, but did not recognize it as Bai Yanliang.

Subconsciously she stepped back and turned around, trying to escape.

It was this action that allowed Bai Yanliang to confirm her identity.

"it's me."

Bai Yanliang walked quickly out of the shadows.

Xu Zhifei, who heard the voice, breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall, breathing quickly.

After Bai Yanliang went over, he quickly checked her injuries.

There was a long and narrow wound on each of Xu Zhifei's shoulders, and blood was dripping from them continuously.

She had obviously been attacked, but how did she escape without the use of either arm?
Moreover, she was bleeding all the way. No matter whether the attacker was a human or a ghost, it was impossible for the other party to lose her with such obvious traces.

Just now she wanted to turn around, which shows that in Xu Zhifei's opinion, the danger of going back is not that great, at least not as strong as the sense of uneasiness brought by his "shadow".

Bai Yanliang didn't say anything else, at least to let her take it easy.

The woman had been walking almost while holding her breath. Now that her strength was gone, she felt weak all over and couldn't walk for a while.

Bai Yanliang also began to help her treat her wounds.

For a moment, the corridor was silent, leaving only the dim moonlight, making everything hazy.

"Where are you?" Although it was a very bad time, Xu Zhifei couldn't help but ask.

After Bai Yanliang disappeared, she searched almost every street and alley in Yecheng. Although she confirmed that the last place he appeared was No. 18 Middle School, there was no trace of human activity in the abandoned school.

If he hadn't found the little black cat there, Xu Zhifei might have gone to other places to look for it.

At this moment, Bai Yanliang appeared.

But it was only temporary. Wu Ji's power forcibly pulled him back. Where was he at this moment?
If his location cannot be determined, he will disappear when the fog ends.

Bai Yanliang, who was bandaging her wound, was silent for a moment.

Dr. Zhou’s warning is still ringing in my ears.

That incredible weirdo not only cloned himself, but also changed his identity.

Anyone he knows could be a clone of Dr. Zhou.

The existence of that time and space gap... Bai Yanliang didn't want to tell anyone for the time being. In his opinion, that was the last way out.

If the fog is destroyed and the last key is formed... the Nine Hells are completely destroyed, and things develop to a point where they cannot be reversed, that place will be the shelter he has found for everyone.

He no longer... wants to experience the helpless death of someone around him again.

Bai Yanliang never lies, but at this moment, he decided to make up a lie.

"In the key world of the Abyss, I was trapped by a member of the Abyss. I will be free soon. It's okay."

Xu Zhifei is very smart, and smart people are hard to be fooled.

Bai Yanliang could only mix in some information that Xu Zhifei knew and make up a lie for her that was almost true.

After all, Abyss's actions were indeed becoming more frequent, and this was not the first time that attacks against him had occurred.

As for the fact that Abyss inexplicably took the blame, that’s not important.

Xu Zhifei listened quietly, and after Bai Yanliang finished speaking and stopped talking, she said, "It seems real."

Bai Yanliang paused.

"You are not fit to lie," Xu Zhifei said calmly, "You were very slow in bandaging just now."

Bai Yanliang stopped moving and suddenly felt that he had overestimated himself and underestimated the people around him.

Concealment will only breed misunderstanding. Although Dr. Zhou Tian's words are shocking, there is currently no evidence to make me completely trust him.

Should I choose to hide the fact from everyone I have known for a long time just because of Zhou Tian’s warning?
I really was... stupid.

"I entered a time-space gap from No. 18 Middle School and went to a world that might be the future. I'm trying to find a way to come back."

Bai Yanliang explained everything to Xu Zhifei.

Xu Zhifei finally raised his head and looked at him.

The moonlight from outside the corridor window poured in and fell into her eyes, and her ink-black eyes actually had a little radiance.

"Okay," Bai Yanliang finished treating her wound and asked, "What about you?"

As he spoke, Bai Yanliang also looked at her.

The moment their eyes met, Xu Zhifei immediately lowered his head and avoided his gaze.

"This ship is a huge living creature."

Xu Zhifei said in a low voice.

"I woke up on the boat and didn't find you...you guys."

She moved her fingers and her strength began to return.

"I went to the captain's room to get information about the ship."

"Everything was normal until just now, when the ship shook violently and two rows of teeth appeared on the ceiling of the captain's room. It bit me."

As Xu Zhifei spoke, the injury on her shoulder healed faster and faster. The light here was not good, so Bai Yanliang did not notice that as her wound healed faster, a few more wrinkles appeared at the corners of Xu Zhifei's eyes.

"The captain and the crew disappeared, I broke free, the turbulence of the ship resumed, the teeth disappeared, and then, I walked back and met you."

She briefly recounted her experience.

Bai Yanliang's expression changed and he looked at the paintings hanging on the wall of the corridor next to him.

"I understand……"

Xu Zhifei looked at him in surprise: "What?"

Bai Yanliang helped her up and walked back the way they came.

"The boat sails under the moon, and the people die in the water."

"If this isn't a boat, where are we?"

Bai Yanliang said:
"We met a woman in a Gothic skirt, and Song Que said that woman had a paintbrush."
