Chapter 5 Curse
Chapter 5 Curse

Is it really a ghost?

Zhou Li's wording gave Bai Yanliang something in his mind.

The young woman, who had been in an uneasy mental state, also opened her eyes wide.

"Zhou Li...what do you mean?" Shen Changrong had met Zhou Li once before, so he asked this question first.

Zhou Li nodded, turned slightly, gestured to the dozens of people who had been silent behind him, and said with a wry smile: "We are just like you. It is obviously an ordinary door, but after opening it, we inexplicably appeared here. And... just as you guessed, there are people from all over the country and all walks of life here. Including you, there are a total of... forty-nine people."

Shen Changrong looked unhappy. Deep down, he didn't want to believe such an illogical thing, but... he had indeed come to this strange space.

He had already tried to call the police on his cell phone, but there was no signal at all.

Strangely, the young woman stopped crying. She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The only one who looked calm was Bai Yanliang, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

It wasn't that he was afraid or uneasy, but... he discovered something was wrong with him!
Neither Zhou Li nor Shen Changrong mentioned the key. They opened the door on their own initiative, and their bodies did not suddenly become out of control!

I seem to be... different.

Bai Yanliang now really wanted to take out the key from his pocket and study it, but it was just a thought.

"Then... can we leave here?" Shen Changrong spoke again.

This time, Zhou Li nodded, looked at the three people and said, "After completing its mission, we can return to the real world intact, but we can't choose to leave on our own initiative. Instead, we will be ejected instantly, just like a swimming ring that is pushed into the water. Once we let go, we will immediately float to the surface."

Zhou Li’s statement was very simple and easy to understand, but he had not finished speaking.

“However, although we cannot choose to leave voluntarily, we can choose whether to enter.”

Having said this, he glanced at the three people again and said with a smile, "But I hope you guys don't choose to escape. Every time it calls you, you will have a strong palpitation and a suffocating feeling in your heart. At that time, you'd better find a door within three minutes and then open it."

"What if you didn't do that?" Unexpectedly, the person who asked this question was the woman who had been in a very emotional state.

"That's what I said. We can choose whether to enter or not. If you remain indifferent at this time, it means you have given up this mission, and the punishment is... a very terrible thing that will last for a month."

Very scary thing...

This description is very disturbing. What kind of terrible thing is it?
"What about a month later?" Bai Yanliang suddenly asked.

His voice was not loud, but in the silent space at that moment, everyone could hear it clearly.

"Ah……"

A sarcastic chuckle came from somewhere.

Then, a charming female voice came out from the crowd: "If you can hold on for a month, maybe you can get out of this hellhole forever. What do you think? Do you want to try it next time?"

Bai Yanliang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman walking out of the crowd. She glanced at Bai Yanliang from head to toe and suddenly smiled, "Oh, sorry, I forgot, you have to survive this time before you can have the next time~"

"Li Yuejun, please stop talking."

Zhou Li looked at her calmly, then looked at Bai Yanliang and explained, "In fact, it's not that no one has chosen to resist the call of this hellish place, but so far, the person who has persisted the longest has only lasted three days."

Bai Yanliang nodded, understanding what Zhou Li meant. To resist its will by force would be to seek death. He didn't know what the terrible thing Zhou Li was talking about was, but he thought of his brother... Bai Yanren for no reason.

The key is Yanren's relic, so does he... always have some connection with this place?
While Bai Yanliang was still deep in thought, the atmosphere here suddenly changed.

Even Zhou Li, who had been speaking calmly, looked solemnly into the depths of the fog.

"coming."

Under the confused and doubtful gazes of Bai Yanliang and the other three newcomers, something strange happened.

The grey mist twisted and tangled in the air, gradually taking shape and densely filling a large area of ​​space.

Bai Yanliang looked carefully and found that it was actually a name!

Li Mu, Feng Xiuxue, Du Shangjing, Lin Yan, Yang Xiu, Zheng Jiajia, Yu Hanzhou, Niu Ping, Li Dayou, Zhou Li, Huang Yourong...Qi Nian, Shen Changrong, Bai Yanliang!
There are seven people in each row, seven rows in total.

The names of the forty-nine people were all made up of gray mist, floating quietly in the air.

It starts with Li Mu and ends with Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yan's conscience moved slightly. Could it be that he was the last one to enter this space, so he was ranked last?
So... Li Mu, who is ranked first, is the first one to enter here among the current 49 people?
The speculation is reasonable, but we need to find an opportunity to verify it.

As everyone watched with bated breath, the forty-nine names that had just taken shape suddenly changed.

The blood color gradually climbed up the gray fog and quickly permeated it. A name quietly turned blood red - Wei Xiu!
As his name changed, five more names gradually turned blood red!

Qin Siqiao, Yuan Pengfei, Jin Wen, Lü Shuang, Shen Changrong!

Three men and two women, five people with different looks walked out of the crowd. Then, a sturdy man in his thirties glared at Shen Changrong and said, "Come here!"

As the president of Yum! Brands, Shen Changrong had never been yelled at so loudly before. But he understood that the situation was stronger than the person, so he walked out without changing his expression and stood with the five people.

With the six people leaving the team, the next round of changes is taking place.

This time, the first name to turn blood red was... Yu Hanzhou!

When his name turned red, Bai Yanliang clearly felt that there was some commotion in the crowd, but he was not sure what caused this change.

Then, this time, all seven names turned blood red at the same time.

Dong An, Hua Xiaoxiao, Lu Guo, Sun Wenjie, Zhou Changfeng, Ma Zirong, and...Qi Nian!
Seeing this, Bai Yanliang confirmed that he would appear in the third round. It seemed that the so-called newcomers would definitely appear in the mission?

After two rounds, most of the people whose names did not turn blood red breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, the third round is the last task and also the task with the highest survival rate. It is better if you don’t win, but if you win, you can also get more chances of survival.

After Qi Nian stood tremblingly with the other six people, the final round began.

Is it my turn?
Bai Yanliang looked at his name at the end of the last column.

The blood color appeared quietly, spreading upwards in wisps. In just a moment, the gray fog was infected with blood red.

However, this time, everyone's eyes became incredulous.

Because, the name that first turned blood red was... Bai Yanliang!
