"I saw her when I was a child," Yu Wenxuan said concisely.
Such a coincidence?
Everyone present had this thought at the sa ti.
"Miss, do you rember him?"
Bai Yanliang asked Lin Xiaohui.
Lin Xiaohui slowly shook her head, looking at Yu Wenxuan in disbelief. After confirming that the pendant on Yu Wenxuan was identical to her own, she already felt very eerie. Now, hearing Bai Yanliang’s question, she felt even more unsettled.
What on earth happened? Why can’t I rember anything?
By this ti, the seawater had already reached everyone’s ankles, and the ship seed about to vanish completely.
Bai Yanliang had no ti to delay and imdiately spoke his conjecture.
"This is just my guess. If there’s a door that’s been opened within this Wuji fragnt, then the ti and space here must be distorted. I’ve experienced sothing similar," Bai Yanliang confessed without reservation.
Xu Zhifei also understood Bai Yanliang’s idea. He ant to say... Indeed, there’s a key beneath this deep sea, but that key may have already opened a certain door.
All of the anomalies here are caused by that door sowhere on the seabed.
Bai Yanliang glanced at Gu Pingsheng, who was still reflected in the sea beneath the position of the full moon, then turned back to the group and said, "I’ll go down and find it."
His voice was not loud, and it was unremarkable amid the occasional salty sea breeze, but the determination in his tone was unmistakable to everyone.
Bai Yanliang didn’t quite know what to do now, but he knew what mustn’t happen, like...letting another image branded in his heart leave.
Song Que was already wounded like that, and Yu Wenxuan’s state was not right either. He didn’t want Qi Nian’s case to repeat again.
Without further ado, Bai Yanliang looked towards Gu Pingsheng’s position. At the very least, Gu Pingsheng guided him in the right direction.
The door or rather the location of the key should be right under the reflection of this full moon on the sea surface.
"Together."
Xu Zhifei spoke coldly.
Bai Yanliang turned to look at her; her delicate but pale face was particularly unsettling under the moonlight. Her long hair danced in the sea breeze, and the chilling aura emanating from her made everyone present slightly uncomfortable.
Being closest to her, Bai Yanliang felt it even more keenly.
He knew there was sothing abnormal about Xu Zhifei, but he never expected her anomaly to be to such an extent!
The biting cold aura penetrated Bai Yanliang’s skin; it wasn’t a physical coldness but the sa sinister chill as that of a fierce ghost.
Without the emotion of fear, Bai Yanliang’s body instinctively rejected Xu Zhifei; his body...didn’t want her close.
However, what’s even stranger was that the wound on Xu Zhifei’s shoulder had already healed completely.
For a mont, Bai Yanliang found himself unable to say any words of refusal.
"Alright."
Bai Yanliang nodded in agreent.
Then, he looked back at Yu Wenxuan and said, "Look after Song Que."
Yu Wenxuan, who seed a bit absent-minded, glanced at Song Que almost imperceptibly, without saying a word.
But Song Que instantly widened his eyes and said, "I’m not so far gone that I need taking care of by him!"
At this, Yu Wenxuan smiled and said, "I haven’t agreed yet."
Ignoring these two, Bai Yanliang’s instructions served two purposes: to remind Yu Wenxuan that now is not the ti to be distracted, and to keep an eye on...Yu Sheng.
The one who truly needed looking after was not Song Que, but Yu Sheng beside him.
This Yu Sheng was very peculiar.
In the past, as long as Yu Sheng appeared in the sa space as him, Bai Yanliang always felt Yu Sheng’s gaze upon him.
He tried to understand the aning of that gaze, but eventually gave up.
This ti, Yu Sheng’s gaze never once turned to him; instead, he kept looking at the sea surface where...Gu Pingsheng was reflected.
He hoped there would be no internal accidents, but he had to plunge into the sea to find the key and the door. For now, he could only entrust the matters on the sea surface to Yu Wenxuan.
"Hoo..."
With a gentle exhale, Xu Zhifei suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Don’t let go."
Xu Zhifei’s voice was as cold as a block of ice.
The chilled aura like a cold current penetrated Bai Yanliang’s body through their clasped hands.
In an instant, Bai Yanliang seed to hear nurous fierce ghosts wailing beside his ears, the non-human aura climbing to his pounding heart, slowing his heartbeat...
Xu Zhifei’s secret was more astounding than he anticipated.
"Alright."
Bai Yanliang nodded.
The two stood at the edge of the disappearing ship and leapt into the air.
"Splash——"
Under the pale moonlight, two figures plunged into the dark and deep sea, instantly shattering the moon’s reflection on the sea surface.
The icy seawater imdiately wrapped around Bai Yanliang’s entire body.
But colder than the seawater was Xu Zhifei’s hand.
She held Bai Yanliang’s hand and suddenly dove deeper.
Bai Yanliang was pulled straight into the sea by her.
As the figures of the two disappeared from the sea, the expressions of the four people standing on the ship varied.
Yu Wenxuan glanced down at the pendant in his hand, then placed it back in his arms.
Bai Yanliang’s aning was clear to him.
The appearance of this crystal pendant had only two possibilities.
One, his mory had been altered, and the pendant was a fabricated power of a ghost.
But what would be the purpose of altering his mory? There wouldn’t be much aning in doing this to just one person.
The second possibility...is that this event truly happened.
That is to say, this Miss Lin Xiaohui did indeed et him when he was a child, but she doesn’t rember it, and at this mont, the crystal pendant is still with Lin Xiaohui.
The event of Lin Xiaohui eting the young Yu Wenxuan had not yet occurred.
The effect has appeared, yet the cause has not generated.
But this chaotic logic revealed a clear answer to Bai Yanliang—that this sea area, or rather, this Fog Gathering event, will bring about actions that can truly traverse ti and space.
Which ans the present can affect the past, and the span of this effect is at least ten years...
And ten years ago, it was the case involving Bai Yanren, and also the ti when Bai Yanliang was captured and committed to a ntal institution.
The reason Bai Yanliang was so urgent and reckless in diving into the sea was not rely because of so "extra" emotion in his heart.
Perhaps...he wasn’t even aware, he was desperately wanting to see the "truth" of those years.
Yu Wenxuan quietly stood in place.
He suddenly looked at Lin Xiaohui and asked, "Rember this, soon all of us might fall into the sea."
Lin Xiaohui looked at Yu Wenxuan in confusion, "What?"
Yu Wenxuan approached Lin Xiaohui’s ear and told her, "You’ll see a little boy being bullied, he fights back, but the teacher stops him; he’s perplexed and confused."
"When you see him, rember to tell him..."
Yu Wenxuan lowered his eyes:
"Fight back, you did nothing wrong, you only made one mistake..."
"Next ti you act, don’t let anyone discover it."
