Chapter 400 Return
"Do you still remember our agreement?"
Yu Wenxuan stood in front of Bai Yanliang holding the key. The cold night wind blew in front of him, but it was not colder than his expression.
Agreement...
Of course Bai Yanliang remembered.
During the incident disguised as "Dark Abyss" when they were hiding from the moon in the mountains, the two reached a certain agreement.
However, to this day Bai Yanliang still doesn't understand what Yu Wenxuan wants to do...
"Okay, I'm willing to help you deal with them. But I also need you to promise one thing." Yu Wenxuan said that at the time.
"As long as I can do it." Bai Yanliang looked at him.
"Don't worry, you can definitely do it," he said with a sneer, "or rather, only you can do it."
Although he spoke the second half of the sentence very softly, Bai Yanliang still heard it very clearly.
Only I can do it?
"Go ahead." Bai Yanliang did not comment.
"Take me into their world." Yu Wenxuan stared at him.
"What?" Bai Yanliang was extremely confused by this incoherent sentence.
"Don't play dumb. You've also discovered... Although ghosts do exist, all the ghosts currently exist not in the real world, but rather are 'released' at specific times or events and briefly enter our world," Yu Wenxuan's eyes flashed. "Yes... They can only enter the human world under specific circumstances. This makes me very unhappy. I have tried it before, but humans cannot reversely enter the world of evil spirits."
"Perhaps... there is still something missing, such as a key to open the door between the two worlds."
Bai Yanliang had no idea where Yu Wenxuan got this information, and some of the things in it were not even something he knew.
"However, even if we get the key, humans can't get in at all," Yu Wenxuan's eyes were filled with danger. "Humans have seven emotions and six desires, but the world of ghosts seems to be the natural enemy of emotions. Any emotion will be magnified countless times. Even positive emotions, once magnified and unbalanced, will become deformed negative emotions. Once invaded by the all-pervasive force that likes to entangle negative emotions, a brand new evil ghost will be born."
Bai Yanliang digested the information that Yu Wenxuan had revealed. After a long silence, he asked, "Who are you?"
This information is simply not something that an ordinary Mist Gathering participant could know. Even someone like Feng Xiuxue who hides secrets may not know more than him.
Yu Wenxuan...seems to be the one hiding the deepest.
Indeed, no one would mess with a well-known madman. Yu Wenxuan's past actions gave him the best protective color. Everyone believed that such a crazy character would not live long. Even if he managed to survive to the later period, he would surely die due to his increasingly crazy thoughts.
However, Yu Wenxuan is not crazy. He can even be said to be the most sober and mysterious person in the entire Wu Ji.
"You will know." Yu Wenxuan turned around and only his voice came out.
"I can only tell you that my last name is my mother's."
"Remember our agreement, Bai Yanliang... take me with you to their homeland."
……
The boat trip ended under the moon.
Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan stood by the river, their clothes fluttering in the whistling night wind.
"Do you still remember our agreement?"
Yu Wenxuan in front of him seemed to be still angry, but also seemed not angry at all.
Memories surged like waves, the agreement they made that night flashed through his mind, and the suspicion about Yu Wenxuan's identity once again surfaced in Bai Yanliang's mind.
Only this time, he had already guessed it.
Because some time ago, he had fallen into that "time and space gap".
And he met Dr. Zhou, who was hiding in the "gap in time and space" and had no intention of coming out.
Dr. Zhou once said that the Mist Gathering was a big mistake he made, and he himself had many horrific ideas and even put them into practice. One of the things is that Dr. Zhou Tian's true body still exists in the real world, and maybe even among the people of the Mist Gathering...
"Are you Dr. Zhou Tian?"
When Bai Yanliang opened his mouth, the night wind just pushed the river waves to the shore. The sound of the waves and the sound of the wind merged together. The moon was bright in the sky and the river water was clear.
The two men stood face to face, motionless, like stone sculptures, their eyes locked.
Not far away, on the riverside trail, Xu Zhifei and Gu Pingsheng looked down at the two people by the river.
No one knows where Song Que and "Yu Sheng" are, maybe they were sent to the hospital?
If nothing unexpected happened, Song Que's arm would have been disabled.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Xu Zhifei looked at Gu Pingsheng and asked.
Gu Pingsheng remained silent, but today he already knew that Bai Yanren's plan had indeed succeeded.
In this last fog gathering, apart from a suspicious "Feng Xiuxue" who looked somewhat like Feng Yiru from that year, there was indeed no one he knew participating.
In other words, the group of people selected by "Wu Ji" are indeed brand new.
However, this also shows that Bai Yanren’s last attempt failed.
He failed to break the cycle of reincarnation, and came to the reincarnation hell for the ninth time, which was also the last time - Fengdu Command Prison.
But not everything remains unchanged. At least, although Bai Yanren failed to escape the cycle of hell, he created new variables. The people who were chosen have all changed and are no longer the same as before.
For example, the mysterious Miss Xu Zhifei next to me, and Mr. Yu Wenxuan.
This is a good thing...
Gu Pingsheng smiled and said, "I have something to talk to Mr. Bai about."
Xu Zhifei had a blank expression on his face and hadn't said anything yet when he suddenly heard footsteps.
She and Gu Pingsheng looked back at the same time, and saw that Song Que, who should have had one arm disabled, was walking towards them intact with "Yu Sheng"!
This time, even Gu Pingsheng was surprised.
Injuries of that degree are simply not healable, unless... they recover on their own after leaving the fog.
But Wu Ji has never had this ability, and all injuries cannot be repaired, otherwise the human side would have more tactics to choose from.
What's going on with the current situation? Could it be...
Gu Pingsheng looked at "Yu Sheng". Was it her who did it?
There really is nothing "human" about this woman anymore, just as Brother Bai said back then.
But if she, or rather, those people like them, possessed the abilities of ghosts while still maintaining human rationality, then wouldn’t this be a great evolution for humanity itself?
Gu Pingsheng didn't think the matter was that simple. Brother Bai...what lies did you tell them back then...
"Hey, I've been wanting to ask you this for a long time."
Song Que walked in front of Gu Pingsheng and stopped.
Gu Pingsheng looked up at him with calm eyes.
"Why are there two souls in your body?"
Song Que's words made Gu Pingsheng's heart skip a beat.
wrong……
Different from what I used to be.
It seems that every person chosen by Wu Ji this time has some... "special" abilities.
