Regarding Yanren’s death, Bai Yanliang had many speculations.
But he never imagined that the person who killed Yanren was actually himself...
In the mories, that small body slowly opened its eyes after the infusion of blood light.
In the young man’s delighted gaze, the child suddenly extended a twisted hand, piercing through his heart.
A fleeting pain appeared on the young man’s face, which was imdiately replaced by relief.
Bai Yanliang "watched" everything from above, his heart aching fiercely, and his vision gradually blurred.
"No... why... no..."
Bai Yanliang’s hoarse whisper couldn’t stop the images in his mind, as the child, like a fierce ghost, expressionlessly began slaughtering and dismbering the young man.
After the young man was completely dead, the child suddenly quieted down, sitting dazedly in the pool of blood.
The scene abruptly stopped.
"Why?" another "he" spoke lightly, smiling, "Because... you were once a dead person..."
"Between life and death lies great fear, what your brother saved was rely an irrational ghost. After the ghost killed your brother, the entire ritual deed complete, ’I’ was able to return, albeit in a fragnted state, from another world..."
Bai Yanliang quietly listened to "his" voice, blankly staring at the sky.
Who would have thought that this task would reveal that inexplicably sealed mory of his...
"As the real killer, do you plan to continue living in this world?"
"Bai Yanliang" leaned in, softly asking.
I am the killer...
The words echoed in Bai Yanliang’s heart.
His emotions, guided by an inexplicable will, plunged into extre pessimism and self-bla.
I am soone who rose from the dead...
Why did I die?
What did my brother do to bring back...
If he could, he would rather ti rewind, and he would never have co back to life.
That way Yanren wouldn’t have...
Wait!
Bai Yanliang’s mind cleared, a strong light appeared in his eyes.
Resurrection!
Since he could be resurrected, then Yanren could definitely be brought back too!
Keys... yes!
Keys!
As long as he collected three keys and perford a certain ritual, he could bring Yanren back to life!
The intense joy swept away all the gloom in Bai Yanliang.
With his mind clear, the problems Bai Yanliang hadn’t noticed before imdiately surfaced.
First, Yanren’s keys!
In the mory images, the keys Yanren used for resurrection totaled three, Bai Yanliang recognized the one placed on the forehead was later found among the relics Yang Wanlong gave him!
Then... where are the other two keys?
It’s Yang Wanlong...
Yang Wanlong has major issues.
Bai Yanliang’s eyes shone with a terrifying cold light.
Although he didn’t feel deep affection, he rembered Yang Wanlong’s visits over the years.
So, even though he wasn’t very interested in many things, Bai Yanliang ca whenever called to repay Yang Wanlong’s kindness.
Until the recent explosion incident.
The puppet targeting Yang Wanlong made Bai Yanliang realize that his "uncle" might not be as simple as he seed.
Now, Bai Yanliang was even more certain of this point.
Since he could give him one key among the relics, he could certainly have the other two keys.
But nothing was ntioned about it.
Uncle Yang... it’s best not to touch other people’s belongings.
Bai Yanliang didn’t realize it, but his face now was full of dangerous expressions.
As if with the return of that mory, so things also ca back...
"My dear self."
"Bai Yanliang" looked at Bai Yanliang, "Do you still plan to linger?"
"Shut up."
Bai Yanliang got up from the ground, stood up, and looked at the "person" who looked exactly like himself.
"Fraud doesn’t have the right to talk to ."
Bai Yanliang’s cold voice seed to make "Bai Yanliang" pause.
Then "he" laughed, "Haha, it seems... you’ve gone mad."
While laughing, "he" took steps closer, but with every step closer, "Bai Yanliang" grew shorter.
"What have you done?"
"He" looked at Bai Yanliang in horror, that confident face now appeared comically absurd.
Bai Yanliang leisurely dusted off his clothes, glanced at "him" slightly, and said, "Oh, nothing, I’ve just found out... what exactly you are."
"Also..." Bai Yanliang turned his head to look around, "where exactly is this place."
"Bai Yanliang" froze, "his" body beca incredibly tiny, "What are you talking about..."
Bai Yanliang didn’t look at him, just adjusted his clothes.
He had already found the inconsistency.
"Stop wasting effort, my... fear."
Bai Yanliang looked down at the "him" now only the size of a foot,
"You think what, you get what, fear what, what exists, decryption fails, logical paradoxes. Because this is not Zhongyuan Village at all, the so-called ’Mountain Moon Hiding, Coffin Fishing Underwater’ isn’t a task assigned by Fog Gathering, am I correct? The one who constructed this nightmare world, a certain gentleman from Dark Abyss."
"His" complexion visibly changed, coldly glaring at Bai Yanliang.
"This has been a dream from the start, Fog Gathering’s summoning, task, assembly... your ans are superb, your ability excellent; you rged dreams with reality, even subtly altered our mories and perceptions, but that ability to alter perceptions isn’t that strong, at least... once I went through it all, an obvious anomaly was discovered."
Bai Yanliang seed very keen to speak, because he knew that after confirming the other’s ability, he was completely safe.
"..."
"He" stared hard at Bai Yanliang, now that face began to twist and change, no longer resembling Bai Yanliang.
"Yu Sheng."
Bai Yanliang looked at him, spoke a na, then his expression turned serious, "I don’t know what agreent you reached with Yu Sheng, nor what you did to her. You chose everyone to execute the task, but deliberately left her out. Your ability to alter perceptions was also used on Yu Sheng--when she appeared, she was standing."
"No one found it strange, even though Yu Sheng should have been in a wheelchair. This was your only vulnerability, why did you risk exposing your plan to use an immature ability to conceal Yu Sheng’s leg abnormalities?"
This was what Bai Yanliang couldn’t understand.
If Yu Sheng had appeared sitting in a wheelchair, then even Bai Yanliang wouldn’t have noticed anything amiss for quite so ti.
"He" stared at Bai Yanliang, eyes glimring with intense interest, that Bai Yanliang face now completely blurred.
An eerie man’s voice sounded: "Compared to your brother, you are smarter, but you got two things wrong."
"First, I didn’t use ability to hide the girl’s leg anomalies, because I indeed healed her legs, I only modified your perception of her disability."
"Second... although I created a nightmare, using false decryption to guide you step by step to trigger the curse, this place... isn’t just a re dream, so... good luck, Bai Yanliang..."
