Really seeing a ghost?
Zhou Li's words stirred sothing in Bai Yanliang's heart.
The young woman, who had not been in the right ntal state all along, widened her eyes.
"Zhou Li...what do you an?" Shen Changrong, having at least t Zhou Li once, was the first to ask this question.
Zhou Li nodded, turned slightly to gesture to the dozens of people silently standing behind him, and said with a bitter smile, "We are just like you. It was clearly an ordinary door, but after opening it, we inexplicably ended up here. And... just as you guessed, there are people here from all over the country, from various professions, including you, there are...forty-nine of us."
Shen Changrong's face looked bad; he was reluctant to believe such illogical events, but... he was indeed in this eerie space right now.
He had already tried calling the police with his phone, but there was no signal at all here.
Oddly enough, the young woman was no longer crying or causing a fuss. She kept her head down, pondering sothing unknown.
The only one who appeared calm was Bai Yanliang, but inside, he was not nearly as composed as he looked.
It wasn't fear or unease, but rather... he noticed sothing amiss within himself!
Neither Zhou Li nor Shen Changrong just now ntioned the key. They actively opened the door, and their bodies did not suddenly lose control!
He seed...different.
Bai Yanliang really wanted to take out the key in his pocket to study it, but he only thought about it.
"So...is it possible to leave here?" Shen Changrong spoke again.
This ti, Zhou Li nodded, looked at the three of them, and said, "After completing its tasks, we can return to the real world unhard, but it is not an active departure we can choose. We are ejected out in a flash, like a swimming ring pressed underwater, instantly surfacing once let go."
Zhou Li's explanation was simple but incomplete.
"However, although we can't choose to leave actively, we can choose whether to enter."
At this point, he glanced at the three again, smiling, "But I hope you don't choose to escape. Each ti it summons, your heart will have an intense sense of foreboding and suffocation. At that mont, you had better find a door within three minutes and open it."
"What if you don't do it?" Surprisingly, the one who asked this question was the woman whose emotions had been very intense all along.
"That's what I an by choosing whether to enter. If you remain indifferent at this mont, it ans giving up this task, and the punishnt is... a month of sothing incredibly terrifying."
Sothing incredibly terrifying...
This description was unsettling, leaving one to wonder what kind of terrifying thing it could be.
"What about after a month?" Bai Yanliang suddenly asked.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was heard clearly by everyone in the still space.
"Heh..."
A light laugh filled with sarcasm ca from sowhere.
Then, a charming female voice ca from the crowd: "If you can endure it for a month, maybe you'll permanently escape this ghostly place, what do you think? Want to try next ti?"
Bai Yanliang looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a voluptuous young woman saunter out from the crowd. She cast an up-and-down glance at Bai Yanliang, suddenly covered her mouth, and chuckled, "Oh, sorry, I forgot, you need to survive this ti to have a next ti~"
"Li Yuejun, say a little less."
Zhou Li looked at her with a calm expression and then turned to Bai Yanliang, explaining, "In fact, there are people who choose to resist the call of this ghost place, but so far, the longest soone has endured is only three days."
Bai Yanliang nodded, understanding Zhou Li's point.
To forcibly resist its will is to court death. He still didn't know what Zhou Li ant by terrifying things, but he unwarrantedly associated it with his own brother... Bai Yanren.
The key was Bai Yanren's relic, so had he always had so connection with this place?
While Bai Yanliang was deep in thought, the atmosphere here suddenly changed.
Even Zhou Li, who had been speaking all along calmly, looked grave, turning toward the depths of the mist.
"It's here."
In the eyes of Bai Yanliang and the three other newcors, sothing eerie transpired.
The gray mist twisted and twirled in the air, gradually forming, densely covering a large expanse of space.
Looking closer, Bai Yanliang saw they were nas!
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!
Seven nas in a row, seven rows in total.
All forty-nine nas ford by condensed gray fog, floating eerily in the air.
With Li Mu leading and Bai Yanliang at the end.
Bai Yanliang felt a stir inside; could it be because he was the last one to enter this space and thus placed last?
So... was Li Mu, who was at the top, the first among the forty-nine to enter here?
The speculation was reasonable but needed a chance for verification.
Under everyone's quiet and tense eyes, the just-ford forty-nine nas suddenly changed.
Blood-red gradually climbed onto the gray fog, soaking through at a rapid pace, quietly turning one na blood-red — Wei Xiu!
As his na changed, five more nas gradually turned blood-red too!
Qin Siqiao, Yuan Pengfei, Jin Wen, Luu Shuang, Shen Changrong!
Three n and two won, five people with varying expressions, walked out from the crowd, then a thirty-sothing muscular man glared at Shen Changrong: "Co over here!"
As the president of the Hundred Victories United Group, Shen Changrong was unaccustod to being shouted at, but he understood well that circumstances outweighed individuals. His face remained unchanged as he stepped out to stand with the five.
With the departure of the six, the next round of changes began.
This ti, the first na to turn blood-red was... Yu Hanzhou!
When his na turned red, Bai Yanliang clearly felt so agitation within the crowd, though he didn't understand the cause of this change.
Next, seven nas turned blood-red simultaneously.
Dong An, Hua Xiaoxiao, Lu Guo, Sun Wenjie, Zhou Changfeng, Ma Zirong, and...Qi Nian!
Reaching this point, Bai Yanliang was sure he would appear in the third round, so it seed that the so-called newcors had to appear in the task?
And after two rounds, most nas among the unchosen in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the third round was typically the last task. Being drawn would be better, as it provided more chances for survival.
As Qi Nian tremblingly stood with the other six, the final round began.
Is it my turn?
Bai Yanliang's gaze fell on his na, positioned at the end of the last column.
Blood-red appeared silently, creeping upwards, and in almost an instant, the gray fog was drenched in blood-red.
However, this ti, everyone's eyes filled with disbelief.
Because the first na to turn blood-red was... Bai Yanliang!
