Chapter 46 Moving
Chapter 46 Moving

A week later.

Feng Xiuxue ended his business activities and left Yecheng.

After leaving the apartment that day, she never contacted Bai Yanliang again. She saw Bai Yanliang's vigilance towards them, and also felt Bai Yanliang's rejection attitude.

Therefore, Bai Yanliang has had a relatively easy time during this period. Today, he was holding his mobile phone and walking forward following the map.

169 Tsing Yi Street.

It is here.

Bai Yanliang put away his phone and looked at the buildings in front of him that were out of place with the surrounding steel and concrete.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

Bai Yanliang knocked on the door gently.

Soon footsteps were heard inside.

"Who is it?"

The young man's muffled voice sounded in the yard.

The other person opened the gate, revealing a young and handsome face.

No wonder he made such an unclear sound, it turned out he was brushing his teeth.

"Hello, is this the rental information you posted?" Bai Yanliang didn't mind what the other party was doing.

Although it did seem strange to him to brush his teeth at one in the afternoon.

And looking at the young man's appearance, he seemed to have just got up.

Maybe it's some special profession?

Bai Yanliang thought thoughtfully.

The young and handsome man in front of him brightened up after hearing Bai Yanliang's words. He quickly took several mouthfuls of water and swallowed them down with gulps.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's me! You're here to rent a house, right? Hahaha! You have good taste!"

His enthusiasm was beyond Bai Yanliang's expectations. Without even introducing himself, he pulled Bai Yanliang into the old building.

Because he saw the rent first, Bai Yanliang didn't have high expectations for this place.

In fact, it was precisely because the price was low enough that Bai Yanliang was attracted.

But the room in front of him still broke Bai Yanliang's imagination. It was not too bad, but too... good.

It is a typical brick-and-wood structure house, with doors and windows carved with simple and elegant patterns. There is a bluestone slab extending from the gate all the way to the front of the house, with a stone table and stone benches placed under the locust tree. There is even a small pond not far away, with clear underground water flowing.

The young man kept paying attention to Bai Yanliang's expression, but Bai Yanliang rarely showed any expression, so he thought Bai Yanliang still had some concerns.

Gritting his teeth, the young man said, "The rent can't be any lower! Although there are rumors of ghosts here, this is the right time! I see that you are also a young man, you should not believe those absurd rumors, right?"

Haunted?

Bai Yanliang looked at him in surprise. He had never heard of this before.

However...I have found out why the rent is so cheap.

"Look, I grew up here and have lived here for more than 20 years, and I've never seen any ghosts. That old locust tree is a little spooky, but I've never seen any evil spirits come out of it."

Bai Yanliang smiled and asked, "How much is the rent per year?"

"Well, if you don't want to...eh?" The man's eyes lit up, and he finally heard clearly what Bai Yanliang was saying: "You want to rent? That's great!"

"1,500 a month, that's 18,000 a year, even if... I'll give you 17,500!"

The discount was as high as five hundred. Bai Yan nodded with satisfaction. Both parties benefited.

"Hey! I knew you were different. You're not like those cowards who get scared so much that their legs go weak when they come in and see a tree." He said this with his back to the locust tree.

Bai Yanliang followed his voice and looked towards the locust tree, and suddenly his expression was stunned.

He seemed to... see something with very long hair... looking at him through the leaves.

The young man in front of him was still chattering, and Bai Yanliang did not act rashly, and withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened. "My name is Gao Fei! There are four rooms in this yard. Except for the one I live in, you can choose any of the other three!" Gao Fei was very generous, but from his words, it also revealed that he seemed to be the only one in this old yard.

Bai Yanliang did not refuse. He carried his luggage and chose the room farthest from the locust tree and on the far right.

With the two of them busying around, the room was soon cleaned up and ready to live in.

Gao Fei is a nice young man. He seems very happy that the house has finally been rented out, so he decides to go out and get some delicious food to welcome Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang sat on the stone bench in the yard, looking at the old locust tree thoughtfully.

I didn’t think about it before, why now... I always encounter strange things wherever I go?

Forget it, Gao Fei has lived here for so many years without any problems, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.

When Bai Yanliang was thinking about this, a strange phone call suddenly came in.

He looked at the nameless number on the screen and pressed answer.

"Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Bai?" A magnetic male voice sounded.

"you are?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

"My name is Du Shangjing."

Duchamp scene?
Bai Yanliang remembered this name. This name, after Feng Xiuxue, was currently one of the longest-lived people in Wu Ji.

As for Feng Xiuxue, her performance originally disappointed Bai Yanliang, but that day, she showed another personality. Now it seems that the personality is the key to Feng Xiuxue's survival.

So is there anything special about Mr. Du Shangjing?

"Hello, Mr. Du, what can I do for you?" Bai Yanliang doesn't like to be polite. Except for some necessary performances, he usually chooses to get straight to the point.

"It's like this... You haven't appeared in the group for the past few days, and we know very little about the details of the third group's mission, so..."

Bai Yanliang suddenly realized that he had forgotten this point.

In fact, it’s not that he is unwilling to share, but... he doesn’t like the atmosphere in that group.

Although everyone seemed to be chatting enthusiastically on the surface, between the lines... most people were filled with deep despair.

They are using normal communication to cover up their inner confusion, fear, and even weirdness and madness.

When Bai Yanliang first entered Wu Ji, he discovered that among that group of people of all kinds, many were on the verge of mental collapse.

He could tell because he was just as good at pretending, just as good at...showing fake emotions.

It is normal to experience this kind of situation when you are under the endless pressure of despair for a long time and facing a terrifying world where you can die at any time.

But Bai Yanliang could also see that there were several people who did not show such emotions, among them was Du Shangjing.

"I'll compile a document and send it to you, Mr. Du."

Du Shangjing was somewhat surprised when he heard Bai Yanliang's reply.

But he didn't refuse either.

"Excuse me, Mr. Bai."

"Well, if it's okay..."

"...Wait!" Du Shangjing hesitated for a moment and shouted.

"Anything else?"

"Mr. Bai, may I ask... do you feel that... something is not right with you?"

Bai Yanliang was stunned. Du Shangjing asked this question in a low voice, as if he subconsciously didn't want others to hear it.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yanliang smiled gently:
"No, Mr. Du."
