Chapter 7 Weird
Chapter 7 Weird

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

Bai Yanliang opened his eyes and saw the pale ceiling.

here it is……

He climbed out of bed, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the calendar on the bedside table.

The 9th time node.

"Is this thirteen years ago? Or is this another world?"

Bai Yanliang got out of bed and looked carefully at this ordinary room.

The people who came with him have completely disappeared, including Xu Zhian, Feng Xinghan, Jiang Li, and Li Yuejun.

Except for Li Yuejun, Bai Yanliang knew nothing about the other three.

As for Li Yuejun, Bai Yanliang has only come to the conclusion that she is a poor woman who is nervous, lonely, and eager for a sense of existence.

Where are the four of them?

No... Bai Yanliang looked at the structure of the room again.

This is not a residence, this is... a hotel.

So, I'm here for a vacation?

Or maybe, 'I' am a hotel employee?
In any case, the most important thing now is to figure out your own identity.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

A polite knock on the door interrupted Bai Yanliang's thoughts. Through the peephole, he finally saw an "acquaintance".

Xu Zhian.

He was in his thirties, dressed like a clerk, with his hair combed neatly, but his body was a little hunched, as if he was used to bending over.

But Bai Yanliang did not open the door.

Instead, Bai Yanliang retreated to the window, opened it, and took a look downstairs. This was the fourth floor...

However, you can risk climbing over to the balcony of the next room.

"Mr. Bai? Are you there?"

Xu Zhian's voice sounded outside the door.

Bai Yanliang leaned against the window, saying nothing.

"Mr. Bai, it's me! I'm Xu Zhian!" Xu Zhian's voice sounded anxious, as if he didn't want to be locked outside the door and stand in the corridor for a long time.

Bai Yanliang still ignored him.

Although not very polite.

But Bai Yanliang was 80% sure that the "Xu Zhian" outside the door was not Xu Zhian.

After waking up, he had no recollection of having stayed in this hotel. He believed that other people were in the same situation as him, and even woke up at about the same time.

So...how did the "Xu Zhian" outside the door know where his room was...

Moreover, there was no one around him.

Logically speaking, even if Xu Zhian knew where everyone lived, he should have looked for people he knew first.

Bai Yanliang didn't feel that he was very familiar with him.

"Bang bang bang!"

The knocking on the door got louder.

The sky outside the window is gradually getting brighter. It is now 9: in the morning at the th time node.

Bai Yanliang had already put one foot out of the window and was ready to crawl to the next room. He had no interest in confirming whether the "Xu Zhian" outside the door was real or fake. Just having the suspicion was enough.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Xu Zhian" seemed angry.

The pure white wooden door was shaken wildly by his smash, and he had not said a word since then. Bai Yanliang sat on the railing, staring at the door intently. As long as the door showed the slightest sign of being opened, he would flip over without hesitation and jump onto the balcony next door.

The strange thing is, his movements seem to have become smaller?

Almost a minute had passed since the violent banging on the door.

left?
Bai Yanliang seemed to be thinking about something, and inadvertently, he glanced at the ground below the fourth floor.

At this moment, he suddenly retracted the leg that was over the railing and quickly got into the house.

Just now, on the ground outside the first floor, Bai Yanliang saw "Xu Zhian" looking up at him!
"His" eyes were full of viciousness, and his face was as pale as if it was painted. If an ordinary person saw him, he would be so scared that his hands and feet would go limp, and 90% of them would fall off the railing.

"Huh... my heartbeat actually accelerated..." Bai Yanliang muttered to himself.

Just now, he clearly felt his heart stop beating for a beat, and then resumed beating at a faster rate than usual.

His breathing became a little erratic as his heartbeat increased, but Bai Yanliang didn't hate this feeling.

In fact, he even liked this feeling a little. This real perception made him realize that he was... still alive.

Slight emotional fluctuations are not a good thing. From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yanliang has spent most of his time wondering whether he is dead.

Otherwise, why would it be so difficult for a living person to feel emotions?

Bai Yanliang collected his thoughts and had no intention of going to the windowsill to look down again. Moreover, through what happened just now, Bai Yanliang was certain of one thing.

That is... "he" seems unable to appear in any corner as he pleases.

It took "him" nearly a minute to go down from the fourth floor to the first floor.

And...if teleportation is really possible, "he" should have appeared in his house by now.

With this thought in mind, Bai Yanliang opened the door while "Xu Zhian" was still on the first floor.

At this time, a rooster crowed.

Its daybreak.

Bai Yanliang turned his head and glanced out the window; the darkness had dissipated a lot in that moment.

Although the sun was blocked by thick clouds, at least... it was dawn.

"Squeak-"

Bai Yanliang had just opened the door when he heard the sound of a door opening on the opposite side.

At the same time, half of the head poked out timidly.

After meeting Bai Yanliang's gaze, she shrank back at first, then seemed to remember something and pushed open the door.

"Bai Yanliang?"

"Ah."

Li Yuejun's voice didn't sound very appealing to Bai Yanliang, so his expression was very flat.

Li Yuejun noticed Bai Yanliang's lukewarm mood and was quite dissatisfied. Just when she was about to say something.

Her gaze inadvertently fell on the room behind Bai Yanliang.

It was a room that was decorated similarly to hers, with a bed, a bedside table, an alarm clock, a desk calendar, and... a TV in the corner that was not turned on.

All in all, it's a typical hotel layout, nothing special about it.

But... Li Yuejun's body seemed stiff as if it was frozen at this moment!
Behind Bai Yanliang, under the bed, a pale woman's face with eyes wide open suddenly appeared!
This terrifying face appeared so suddenly that Li Yuejun couldn't react at all!

Li Yuejun was so frightened that her heart stopped. She stumbled to the ground, covering her mouth and pointing at the bottom of Bai Yanliang's bed in horror.

In fact, Bai Yanliang noticed Li Yuejun's strange expression as soon as it appeared.

But he did not make any reaction, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't!
A malicious gaze was cast at his back without any disguise.

Bai Yanliang was even certain that if he looked back, something terrible would happen.

So, he walked to Li Yuejun's door as if he didn't know what was going on, and while helping her up, he asked, "Miss Li, what's wrong with you?"
