Chapter 47 Newcomers
Chapter 47 Newcomer

Bai Yanliang settled down in the old house on Tsing Yi Street. Although he occasionally saw strange shadows on the old locust tree during this period, nothing else strange happened.

To Bai Yanliang's surprise, Gao Fei's profession was also a criminal policeman, but... he was not an ordinary police officer, but a forensic doctor.

They are criminal police who use various technical means to conduct on-site medical investigations, medical follow-up and evidence collection, live medical examinations of injuries, autopsies, symptom analysis, identification of relics, special physical examinations, and other forensic medical identifications.

When Gao Fei stuttered and told him for the first time that he was a forensic doctor, Bai Yanliang did not show any other expression except saying "how awesome".

This greatly increased Gao Fei's impression of Bai Yanliang.

But he has always been very busy at work and often comes home in the early hours of the morning, and wakes up at one or two in the afternoon.

Overall, the relationship between the two is quite pleasant.

Bai Yanliang was sitting on a stone bench, holding a book in his hand. It was a forensic medicine book that he had borrowed from Gao Fei.

Speaking of which, it has been more than half a month since Du Shangjing contacted him. If nothing unexpected happens...

Just as he was thinking this, Bai Yanliang suddenly felt his heart stop.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻
He could clearly feel a strange feeling of suffocation rising from the bottom of his heart.

Bang bang - bang bang -

Bai Yanliang's heart was beating so fast that he couldn't control it.

That’s how it feels…

This is... Wu Ji's call.

Bai Yanliang reached into his collar and pulled out a silver key.

To prevent it from being lost, he strung it into a necklace and wore it around his neck.

This time, his hands and feet did not get out of control.

He really wanted to try what would happen if he resisted this feeling and didn't open the door.
But...reason told him that doing so at this moment would do absolutely no good.

Bai Yanliang stood up and inserted the silver key in his hand into the lock of his door.

Just like last time, the key and key that seemed to be incompatible actually opened.

Bai Yanliang pushed the door gently, and it opened.

……

The fog was filled with chaotic mist, and dense crowds of figures had appeared in front.

Bai Yanliang discovered that he was the last one to arrive.

Among the last batch of newcomers, except for the deceased Shen Changrong, even the somewhat strange Qi Nian came in early.

Speaking of Shen Changrong, Bai Yanliang had inquired about his news within this month. Not only about Shen Changrong, he even went to look for news about... Yingcheng Ruyi Hotel.

However, the results were not satisfactory.

Shen Changrong became a missing person, and his shares in Yum! Brands were rapidly divided up.

What’s even more bizarre is the Ruyi Hotel in the real world.

Bai Yanliang couldn't get any news about Ruyi Hotel, whether from newspapers or the Internet. This hotel where several lives were lost in the foggy space seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. No... to be precise, it was more like a key word was blocked.

Maybe it still exists, but its existence has been blocked or even erased from the basic cognition.

This was the only explanation Bai Yanliang could think of.

"Mr. Bai, you are here?"

Zhou Li greeted Bai Yanliang in a very friendly manner.

Previously, Du Shangjing sent the task process summarized by Bai Yanliang to the group.

Everyone watched the incident carefully. Most people saw the weirdness and horror, but only a few saw that Bai Yanliang's thinking and thought process were different from those of ordinary people.

Among them is Zhou Li.

Zhou Li was a man of outstanding appearance and promising young age. Although he was trapped in this strange and terrifying place, he was not completely desperate.

He believed that one day he would be able to get out alive and completely get rid of this damn curse.

To achieve this goal, his own strength alone is far from enough, so Zhou Li has been observing, observing who in the fog is "qualified" to get rid of the curse with him.

Fortunately, although there were not many such people, the number was still beyond Zhou Li's expectations. Several of them were extremely powerful, although... they were not at the forefront of Wu Ji, but this was only because they entered relatively late.

In Zhou Li's opinion, Bai Yanliang is also such a person.

Although his name is currently at the end of the list, his potential may far exceed the vast majority of those at the top.

Bai Yanliang nodded in response to Zhou Li's greeting.

There are many people looking at him now, but Bai Yanliang can only match the names and appearances of many of them. He knows very little about the unfortunate "companions" in front of him.

"Bai Yanliang!" Li Yuejun walked towards him.

Bai Yanliang looked at her. Beside her, Jiang Li and Xu Zhian were also walking towards him.

"We originally wanted to contact you in real life, but... Mr. Du said that you don't like being disturbed in real life."

Hearing this, Bai Yanliang looked up at Du Shangjing and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, I just don't like speaking in the group."

That Mr. Du, I asked him a very strange question last time, what does "Do you feel that there is something wrong with you?"
Maybe he misunderstood something, or maybe... there was something that Bai Yanliang was not aware of.

Everyone stood separately, not in a group. Each one was clearly separated and the sense of distance was obvious, even for Li Yuejun and the other three.

Bai Yanliang remembered that Li Mu had said last time not to trust anyone.

And that 'Feng Yiru' also said, don't trust Feng Xiuxue.

Maybe... there are some rules in the fog that Bai Yanliang doesn't know?

At this time, changes occurred...

Bai Yanliang and his group saw with their own eyes a door being opened in the void, and a strange figure came in.

Bai Yanliang was very familiar with that door, because it was... the door of the hospital.

He stayed in the hospital for a full ten years, even though it was a mental hospital.

"Why is there only one newcomer this time?" a puzzled voice sounded.

Li Mu stood silently in the distance, looking at the door that opened in the void and the figure that came in, wondering what he was thinking.

Du Shangjing stood beside him with a frown on his face.

"Something is getting more and more wrong with Wu Ji. The newcomer has become a grudge holder. Wei Xiu's group was wiped out, and Yu Hanzhou's group was cursed from the moment they started to gather. And this time, Wu Ji didn't even make up the total number of people to forty-nine? Instead, only one newcomer joined..."

"Li Mu..."

Li Mu shook his head slightly, and no expression could be seen on his extremely ordinary face.

"I don't know, and I don't need to know. All I need to consider now is how to survive the mission."

Du Shangjing opened his mouth, speechless.

Over there, the only newcomer had slowly left the gray fog and appeared in front of everyone.

"Excuse me...where is this place?"

A gentle female voice spread out from the mist. She was in her twenties, with eyes as bright as autumn water. She was still lovely even without makeup, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. When she asked this question, there was no fear on her face, only a hint of doubt.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, not because she was beautiful, but because she... was actually sitting in a wheelchair.
