Under Yang Yiyi’s urging, Bai Yanliang quickly got himself ready.
She appeared to be even more eager than Bai Yanliang, eagerly wanting to head to school first.
But Bai Yanliang, holding Yanren’s card, first made a trip to the bank, with Yang Yiyi reluctantly following.
Fortunately, although ten years had passed, the ATM operations had not changed significantly. As for the password, he entered his and Yanren’s birthday, 506603, and the system instantly showed it was correct.
As expected, his birthday was placed first.
Seeing the numbers in the bank account, Bai Yanliang was sowhat curious. If he was not mistaken, there was 300,000 in the card.
Ten years ago, 300,000 wasn’t a lot, but it wasn’t a small amount either.
Yet, at that ti, the brothers’ lives were not affluent.
Bai Yanliang pondered for a mont and withdrew 10,000 first.
A wad of money in hand was quite eye-catching, but Yang Yiyi didn’t have this awareness, nor did Bai Yanliang.
"Hurry up, hurry up, there’s a mobile phone store over there!"
Seeing him withdraw the money, Yang Yiyi grabbed Bai Yanliang’s sleeve and ran, Bai Yanliang smiled and helplessly followed her.
Although he constantly kept an eye on the social changes over the ten years, he couldn’t help but be out of touch in so areas.
For example... the billboard standing at the entrance of the mobile phone store.
Bai Yanliang stopped in his tracks and calmly looked at this human-shaped billboard.
Yang Yiyi saw Bai Yanliang standing dazed beside the billboard and followed his gaze. She suddenly realized and curiously asked, "Are you also a fan of Feng Yiru?"
"Feng Yiru?"
Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, recalling the nas he saw in Fog Gathering. There was no one nad Feng Yiru, he was sure his mory wasn’t wrong. If needed, he could even recite the nas of forty-nine people, but... there was indeed a woman in Fog Gathering who looked exactly like this Feng Yiru.
"Hehe... Speaking of which, Feng Yiru is coming to Ye City for an event tomorrow! I must go see her!" Yang Yiyi was obviously a fan of this female celebrity, talking about it made her eyes sparkle.
Her words also made Bai Yanliang thoughtful. Zhou Li had ntioned this too. It seems, Feng Yiru should be her stage na.
Bai Yanliang carefully observed her appearance. Feng Yiru was likely in her twenties, her long hair tied in a ponytail, looking energetic. She had a delicate oval face with little makeup, lightly curled lashes, starry captivating eyes, slightly smiling lips, and gentle expressions between her brows.
An instantly likable woman.
Bai Yanliang quickly gave his evaluation.
Yang Yiyi was still muttering about Feng Yiru’s deeds, while Bai Yanliang had already entered the store.
"I want to buy a phone, the most durable and with the longest battery life."
Bai Yanliang’s request startled the sales clerk, who glanced at him instinctively.
Bai Yanliang smiled at her.
One must admit, Bai Yanliang’s looks were the kind that was very appealing to won, but in n’s eyes, they had too much softness, lacking masculinity.
But once he took action, he wouldn’t show any rcy.
"Alright... alright sir! Please wait a mont..."
The sales clerk was unexpectedly flustered by his smile, her cheeks turning red.
Yang Yiyi glared at Bai Yanliang, saying, "Hey! You can’t just smile at others like that!"
"Why?" Bai Yanliang was genuinely puzzled this ti; to him, this was basic politeness for a normal person.
"Firstly, it looks silly! Secondly, others might think you’re interested in them, got it?"
"Why are you warming everyone up? You’re not a radiator."
"..."
Bai Yanliang was rendered speechless, suddenly realizing that he was no longer in a ntal hospital... a bit of aloofness and a clear sense of personal space were quite normal in this society.
"I understand now."
Bai Yanliang nodded seriously.
Yang Yiyi proudly raised her chin, feeling that she had saved a man from becoming a flirting playboy.
It was quite unreasonable because Bai Yanliang hadn’t even dated, and... he wasn’t in a position to think about such things now.
The clerk quickly brought a phone, completely black, eting Bai Yanliang’s requirents.
Counting out a stack of cash, he not only paid directly but also got a SIM card.
Yang Yiyi snatched it and saved her and Yang Wanlong’s numbers into it.
Returning it to Bai Yanliang, Bai Yanliang, under Yang Yiyi’s curious gaze, poked the touchscreen with one finger, entering a series of numbers.
On a certain social software, a chat group of thirty-six people instantly appeared before him.
Bai Yanliang clicked to join, the verification ssage he wrote was his own na.
He was approved almost imdiately, and the total number of this social group changed to thirty-seven people.
Bai Yanliang pondered for a mont, it seed, the number of people who died last ti in Fog Gathering... was twelve in total.
It was apparent that those who died had been deleted; otherwise... there might be hundreds of gray avatars that could never log in.
When Bai Yanliang just joined, they were having a discussion.
"So that’s how it was, no wonder your casualties were so severe..."
"Su Qian, you shouldn’t bla yourself too much. Who would’ve thought the curse would begin even before entering the past world?"
"This also serves as a reminder: once a na turns red, one must be cautious, the task starts from that instant..."
Bai Yanliang read the continuously popping up ssages and understood what they were discussing.
They were reconstructing the situation of Yu Hanzhou’s group.
The curse had started as soon as the na turned red, Bai Yanliang also clearly rembered that a girl had called out Yu Hanzhou’s na, but Yu Hanzhou did not turn back; instead, others turned back to look at her.
"It’s terrifying... I wonder... if it were ... I might have turned back too."
This ssage caused a silence in the group until soone else appeared.
"Qi Nian, you are amazing." The one who sent these five simple words was from an ordinary man’s avatar, but the na beside the avatar was Li Mu.
"Yeah! Qi Nian is incredible! This is our first ti cracking the fierce ghost in a survival task, right?!"
"That’s right, who would’ve thought an unsolvable fierce ghost could actually be removed."
"I think... this is the rule, the rule of Fog Gathering, none of us, nor the fierce ghost, can avoid following."
"It wasn’t us who removed it, but the rule. We are still just ordinary people, without any superpowers."
"..."
ssages kept popping up sporadically, and Bai Yanliang quickly browsed through them without saying a word.
Until a friend request popped up.
The verification ssage simply had three words.
Feng Xiuxue.
