Chapter 4 Behind the Door
Chapter 4 Behind the Door

cold.

Before I had time to look and observe after stepping into the door, my body had already given me this feeling.

This coldness does not seem to come from the surrounding temperature, but... from the heart.

"boom--"

There was a sound of a door closing behind me.

It was also at this time that control of the body finally returned to Bai Yanliang.

The first thing he did was to turn his head and see only a gray mist behind him. How could there be a door?

"what!!!"

A shrill scream sounded in the mist. It was a woman.

There are other people here.

Bai Yanliang's face was calm, but his brain was unusually active.

There was gray fog in all directions, and only above the head, in a place that might be the sky, there was a pair of huge, narrow dark red objects hanging, emitting an unsettling dim light.

"The last newcomer has arrived."

A man's voice sounded in the mist ahead. Bai Yanliang tensed up and looked forward: "Who?"

However, this glance made Bai Yanliang's pupils shrink.

The gray fog in this space seemed to be gradually dissipating, and dense human figures began to gradually appear in the mist.

They stood silently, like corpses, facing Bai Yanliang quietly.

"Huh?" A slightly curious female voice also appeared in front.

Not only her, but the densely packed figures around her also seemed to start moving, and chilling gazes began to focus on Bai Yanliang.

"Interesting newcomer, surprisingly so calm."

When these words fell, the surrounding fog finally dissipated!
Under the dim light, Bai Yanliang finally saw everything in front of him.

People...all kinds of people!
Some were dressed in suits, some were ragged, some were strong, some were skinny and mean, some were beautiful and charming, some were plain and simple... people of all kinds suddenly appeared in front of him.

In other words, they had been standing in front of Bai Yanliang all along, but their figures were obscured by the gray mist.

"Welcome, newcomers." The speaker was an elegant man in his thirties. From the sound of his voice, it seemed that he was the one who spoke before.

Bai Yanliang looked at him. He had an elegant and handsome face, an upright posture, and was wearing a well-fitting suit and silver-framed square glasses.

Before Bai Yanliang could respond to his words, another voice suddenly shouted.

"You... who are you! Let me go! Where is this place? Let me out! Otherwise I will call the police!" The woman's loud voice was trembling slightly. She was the one who screamed before.

"Please calm down and think carefully about how you got here." The voice of the man in the suit was not loud, but it sounded reassuring. Bai Yanliang turned his head and looked at his side. A young woman in her twenties was sitting next to him, her face was terrified. In addition, there was another middle-aged man who was the same as Bai Yanliang, who did not say a word from beginning to end. However, his expression was not as calm as Bai Yanliang's. His slightly wrinkled brows, the direction of his toes, and his shrinking pupils showed his anxiety and fear, but... he was suppressing it and did not show it.

"I don't care! I don't care what means you use, just let me out of here!" The woman's voice was still sharp and piercing.

"Who do you think has the means to send dozens of people to such a place in an instant?" The attitude of the man in the suit was still gentle, and he was not angry because of the woman's hysterical and unreasonable behavior.

This sentence finally made the woman shut up. Everything that happened just now was just her escaping from reality.

However, her eyes were still somewhat panicked and dull. Perhaps she wanted to treat all this as a nightmare that she could wake up from?

"Are you... Zhou Li?" At this time, the middle-aged man who had been silent suddenly spoke. His voice was a little surprised, but also a little certain. His eyes were on the man in the suit.

Zhou Li looked at him in surprise: "Do you know me?"

"Of course I know the financial genius who rejected 20 companies." After recognizing a familiar face, the middle-aged man seemed relieved. "I am Shen Changrong, the president of Shencheng Yum United Group. I met you at a party once."

"Are you in Shencheng?" Bai Yanliang suddenly interrupted and asked.

Shen Changrong seemed to realize something as well. He looked at Bai Yanliang and nodded, "Yes, I was just opening the door of the office. Who knew that I would end up here after entering? You..."

"I'm in Yecheng." Bai Yanliang responded. After getting the answer, he stopped talking and looked at the man named Zhou Li.

It can be seen that he is a leader-like figure among the dozens of people behind him.

Who knew that when Bai Yanliang looked at Zhou Li, Zhou Li was also looking at Bai Yanliang.

His eyes were filled with surprise, appreciation, and admiration, and he said sincerely, "We have seen quite a few newcomers, most of whom are like this young lady. The few calm ones are like Mr. Shen, who are more or less uneasy and suspicious. Sir, you are the third person I have seen who did not feel any panic when he first entered here."

Bai Yanliang's heart moved when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand: "Bai Yanliang."

"Zhou Li." Zhou Li stretched out his hand and shook hands with Bai Yanliang, and the two exchanged names.

Then, he did not talk to Bai Yanliang alone, but said to Bai Yanliang, Shen Changrong, and the woman who was still in a daze: "I know you have many questions and concerns, but time does not allow me to explain more. I will only say it once."

coming.

Bai Yanliang's heart moved. In fact, after Zhou Li and the people behind him appeared, he felt that something was wrong.

Although the other side has a large number of people and strong forces, they seem to be... a group of scattered sand?
This situation is very rare. When humans are in a group, even if they do not have good personal relationships, they often form small groups due to temperament, interests and other factors.

However, Bai Yanliang was unable to see this kind of relationship. On the contrary, apart from being silent, this group of people also exuded a subtle emotion from the beginning to now.

Bai Yanliang had seen this emotion in Yecheng Mental Hospital. It was called despair.

In addition, although this group of people stood together, the sense of distance between them was also obvious.

Bai Yanliang could see the mutual vigilance between them at a glance. Not only him, Shen Changrong had also seen it a long time ago. The only one who knew nothing was probably the woman who was still in a daze.

Then, seeing that the woman also cast her eyes towards Zhou Li, he finally said:
"In fact, no one knows where this is. Everyone here is the same. They ended up here after opening a door for no apparent reason. There is no basis or logic."

"Moreover, we have to periodically complete some damn, damn missions." Zhou Li's expression turned ugly. He looked at the three people, his eyes behind the lenses flashing with unwillingness and helplessness. "I'm not describing how abominable the mission is. I'm talking about how damn terrible it is!"
