Chapter 399 Brother Bai
My name is Gu Pingsheng.

Occupation is doctor.

This path is my parents' choice, not mine.

But I am not opposed to it. People will always grow old, get sick and die. If I become a doctor, at least I will have a relatively high social status and material conditions.

Doctors are used to seeing life and death, and they understand best that life and death are just the rotation of matter. Once someone dies, they are really dead.

Although every hospital has all kinds of bizarre rumors and stories, as a doctor, I never take those bizarre stories to heart.

If ghosts really existed in this world, or in other words, if ghosts were really as omnipotent as in the stories, then it would be impossible for humans to build this level of civilization. This is a very simple truth.

however……

When I pushed open the door and walked into the office that should have been normal, everything changed.

This is not the world I know.

Endless space, hazy fog, and...shadowy people.

In this place, I met many people who I would never have met in my entire life.

I also experienced a series of incredible death games...

Until, under the leadership of that man, we reached the destination.

He is always so calm and always maintains the most optimistic attitude towards returning to reality.

We all call him "Brother Bai".

Although I don't know what the rules for selecting people are in the place called "Wu Ji", those who can survive have far surpassed ordinary people in terms of luck and strength. But even in this situation, Brother Bai still became a leader recognized by all of us.

All of us who are still alive are willing to believe that Brother Bai will definitely lead us out of this game started by the devil.

Until one day, Brother Bai suddenly found me in the real world and told me a story...that I had never imagined.

"Pingsheng, what kind of place do you think Wu Ji is?"

“Everyone says that Wuji is the boundary between life and death…” This answer was told to me by a man named Xun Weimo on the day I first entered Wuji.

"Having come this far, the answer in your heart should no longer be this, right?" Brother Bai's tone was light, but it exploded like thunder in my heart.

Correct……

The answer in my heart, or rather, the answer in the heart of everyone who has lived to this day, is completely different from what it was at the beginning.

What exactly is FogSet?
From the initial answers of "the devil's game" and "the border between life and death", it has gradually become...

"Wu Ji... is like our last refuge." I said the only answer that I recognized in my heart.

Brother Bai’s eyes trembled.

"Shelter... do you think so..."

The emotions in his eyes were too complicated, and I really couldn't tell what Brother Bai was thinking.

But, that's exactly what all of us survivors think about Mist.

It is definitely not a boring "game of gods and demons", nor is it a dead place without any "intelligence".

Wu Ji has his own stance, and this stance is clearly biased towards humans.

In other words, it favors humans as much as possible within the scope of its own "power".

We are all just ordinary people, without any so-called super powers. The only thing that allows us to survive such horrific events again and again is those lines of bloody words and repeated hints.

Moreover, although those blood-written prompts were written in a rather obscure manner, they were clearly logically understandable by humans.

In other words, the intelligence of the "fog set" that gives prompts is likely to be closely related to humans.

"Pingsheng, what I am going to say next may seem incredible to you, but this is the only way I have seen."

Brother Bai's voice was still calm, but the importance of his words had already made me extremely alert.

"Remember, from now on, you are not a negotiating expert, you are a...doctor."

Brother Bai's voice lingered in my mind. His voice seemed to have some kind of magic that instantly split my consciousness into two parts.

"Pingsheng, remember, you must not tell anyone what you are going to say next. Not even my future self." Brother Bai's words made me more confused, but the long-standing trust in him made me still remember his next words firmly.

"We have escaped from the Mist more than once..."

"The prison of heavy springs is the prison of beheading, the prison of cold springs is the prison of poisoning, the prison of dark springs is the prison of cold night, the prison of deep springs is the prison of fierce beating, the prison of lower springs is the prison of long night, the prison of bitter springs is the prison of slaughter, the prison of frozen springs is the prison of torture and burning..."

"This time, it's the Yellow Springs Prison of Chasing Ghosts. We're going to escape soon."

Brother Bai’s words made my mind go blank.

and many more……

What do you mean?
What's up with all those names for hell?

When did we escape from those hells?
"Don't think about my words. You just need to remember them for the rest of your life." Brother Bai seemed to have noticed my hesitation and immediately gave me this advice.

It was this sentence that made me suddenly realize.

Maybe……

This is not the first time for all of us to enter the "Fog Set".

Could it be that some force has tampered with our memories?
An indescribable sense of absurdity suddenly surged from all directions, the sunlight suddenly turned cold, and the world suddenly seemed unreal.

"Nine is the number of the extreme. The last prison is the Fengquan Prison of Command, and it is also our last chance."

"I will tell a lie, and you...will participate in the last fog gathering with two memories."

Brother Bai's speech speed was getting faster and faster, as if something invisible was chasing him.

"Remember, the you as a negotiation expert is the real you. As a doctor, this memory was created for your participation in the last fog gathering. You must remember it, otherwise... you will be lost."

"Why me?" I tried to remember everything, but I couldn't help asking out loud.

Right...why me?
Among those who survive to the end, there are many who are worthy of trust, both in terms of ability and character.

But judging from what Brother Bai means now, he will use some method to prevent the "old man" from participating in the last fog gathering, and only he, "Doctor Gu", will enter the final Fengquan Command Prison.

"Because you are the last one."

Brother Bai looked at me quietly and gave a reason that I couldn't deny.

"Although everyone has lost their memories, I remember that every time the fog gathers again and the next hell comes, you are the last person to arrive, that is... the last participant."

Brother Bai...

I stared at him blankly.

He really knew something unknown. If what he said was true, then he... Brother Bai, had all the memories of escaping from hell in the past!
"What about you, what about you guys?" I asked, "What can I do by participating in the last fog gathering?"

"We have escaped seven times, but each time, we fell into the next hell. We used the wrong method."

"This time, the Yellow Springs Chasing Ghost Prison is the eighth time. I am telling you these words in preparation for the ninth and final time."

Brother Bai smiled.

"But maybe my attempt will be successful this time?"

He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with countless emotions: "Even if we can't succeed, we can at least leave something behind for our last fight."

"As for what you are going to do in your life..."

Bai Ge's eyes fell on me.

"If I show up after the last fog sets in, kill me."

My heart skipped a beat.

"If any other companions you have seen appear, flee."

"Get out of their sight. They are no longer human."

　The body has fully recovered, recuperation is completed, and restoration is renewed.
