Chapter 392 Bai Yanren

Endless coldness and a constant feeling of falling.

Bai Yanliang's perception was completely confused. He was pulled by Xu Zhifei and jumped into the sea, into the full moon reflected on the sea.

key?

door?
I couldn't see anything, the sea was completely dark.

Even Xu Zhifei's hand, which was tightly grasped, seemed to have turned into stone at this moment, without any feeling of flesh and blood.

Bai Yanliang only felt that he was falling... falling.

At this moment, Xu Zhifei's face was covered with dense wrinkles, and she was aging rapidly.

This woman who can eat "ghosts" is not completely human, but she is not a ghost either.

In the dark and gloomy sea, Xu Zhifei stared at Bai Yanliang.

She knew that Bai Yanliang couldn't see her expression, so she no longer concealed her eyes.

At this moment, Xu Zhifei looked at Bai Yanliang with an extremely complicated gaze, even... there was murderous intent for a moment, but soon, this murderous intent dissipated without a trace.

She knew that Bai Yanliang had done nothing wrong, but...

Let him have the right to choose...

From Xu Zhifei's body, strands of bizarre and strange power were transmitted to Bai Yanliang's body through his palms.

It was also at this moment that Bai Yanliang, who was falling continuously, suddenly discovered that he could see clearly under the pitch-black water.

The bottom of the sea, which was like an abyss, reflected the figures of him and Xu Zhifei sinking continuously.

It's as if there is a huge mirror at the bottom of the sea.

He was falling uncontrollably, getting closer and closer to himself in the "mirror" at the bottom of the sea.

Same posture, same position, just like a person reaching out to touch himself in the mirror.

But such a touch turned into a fall.

The moment the soles of my feet touch the "mirror" on the seafloor...

The line of time folded at the section where his feet touched the soles of "his" feet. The two points of the past and the future overlapped in this dark and terrifying deep sea, in this incredible time and space...

The feeling of falling disappeared.

In other words, the whole world became quiet and silent.

But this state only lasted for a moment, and Bai Yanliang seemed to have turned into a "third-person perspective".

He watched himself and Xu Zhifei float up from the sea, no...

This is not floating!
This is time going backwards!

The bubbles that were surging because of their sinking were also flowing back in the opposite direction from top to bottom!

Soon, Bai Yanliang saw himself returning to the bow, as if a movie had been fast-rewinded.

The giant ship, which was shrinking and disappearing, became bigger and bigger, and everyone's position returned to the beginning...

The bright moon in the night sky is also moving slowly, from bright to dark.

Bai Yanliang experienced what it means that time flies like an arrow and the days and months pass by like a shuttle from a "third person" perspective.

In his eyes, time was like a bond that was being arbitrarily twisted, and the shadow of the years was projected on Bai Yanliang's body, changing from light to dark, cloudy to sunny, and unpredictable.

Backwards...backwards...

The hand that Xu Zhifei and I had promised not to let go had already separated.

Backwards...backwards...

Bai Yanliang no longer knew where he was. He could only "watch" himself moving rapidly, moving in reverse time...

Spring flowers, autumn moons, the growth and withering of plants, time does not have a specific appearance, but we can clearly feel its existence through the changes in the things around us.

Bai Yanliang seemed like an outsider, watching time play tricks on the whole world, but fortunately, his own body did not revert to youth with the passage of time.

It was as if... the reversal of time and space affected the entire world, and the only thing that remained unchanged... was himself.

This silent pantomime-like world made Bai Yanliang feel an indescribable desolation and emptiness in his heart, something he had never felt from ghosts before.

If he were a normal person, he would understand that this desolation and nothingness is an extreme horror that is more suffocating than the existence of evil spirits.

At this moment, the reversal of time gradually slowed down, and the voice... gradually returned to Bai Yanliang's ears.

"Beep beep——" is the sound of a car.

His body was no longer on the sea, nor in the boat.

Bai Yanliang was stunned for a long time when he felt the cool wind blowing across his cheeks.

This real and delicate touch, could it be that I... have really returned to ten years ago?

"call……"

He exhaled slowly.

Suddenly, sounds from all directions came flooding in and all entered his ears.

Car horns, pedestrians talking, people walking hurriedly, street vendors, TV commercials, business promotions... the chaotic noise around him brought Bai Yanliang back to his senses.

He blinked hard. At this moment, he was standing in a crowded crowd.

Men, women, young and old passed by him. Bai Yanliang was like a stone suddenly thrown into a stream, out of tune with everything around him.

The dim afterglow of the setting sun slanted down through the gaps between the city’s tall buildings. In front of the snack stalls, students with backpacks on their backs were chatting in groups of two or three.

In the steaming stall, the boss, half-closed his eyes in the smoke, fried skewers while collecting money...

Bai Yanliang looked at the clock hanging on the wall of a street shop. The current time was... five thirty-six.

And judging by the way the pedestrians and students were dressed, these clothes… these conversations, and the phones they were holding…

The newsstands and newspapers are still there...even the telephone booth has not been demolished yet.

Bai Yanliang's heart beat faster and faster.

This street...

This street is...

He wanted to move his legs, but suddenly found that his legs were a little weak.

He hasn't been back here for... a long, long time.

From the beginning, since he came out of the mental hospital, he never came back here.

Yecheng, JB District, Begonia Street.

This is where the researchers work, and also... their home.

Bai Yanliang was trembling all over. The "outdated" clothes and "outdated" mobile phones on the street were all telling him that this was definitely not the time he was in.

But all this could not be explained by an illusion. This world was too real, so real that Bai Yanliang trembled in his heart.

Memories were activated bit by bit. Ten years ago, my brother and I also came to Haitang Street to eat. We had been to that store and that store...

As he walked, Bai Yanliang stopped and slowly raised his head.

On the second floor, that is...Kento's office.

As long as it is not illegal, he will take any job, from finding cats and dogs to helping the police find the whereabouts of felons and get a bounty...

This firm does not have a resounding name, or even no name at all.

but……

Bai Yanliang stared at the familiar doors and windows.

suddenly!

"Hello?"

A gentle male voice sounded behind Bai Yanliang.

"Do you want to entrust it?"

Bai Yanliang trembled all over. This voice...

He turned around slowly, and at that moment, even the wind seemed to have stopped.

This man stood in the afterglow of the setting sun cast by the city's tall buildings, with the light behind him. Bai Yanliang vaguely saw that he was still smiling.

"Hello, I am the person in charge of this firm."

He was facing the light, smiling brightly, exactly the same as Bai Yanliang remembered...

"My name is Bai Yanren."
