Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: True or False

Bai Yanliang had been thinking about a question.

  That was ... why didn't the ghost that was able to disguise itself as someone else make a move?

  'He' clearly found many opportunities for people to fall alone, but did not make a move, and the strangest of these was Xu Zhi'an's encounter.

  Xu Zhi'an seemed to have been deliberately brought to Zhang Wen's room by 'him'....

  So, Bai Yanliang decided to take a gamble, his actions may seem dangerous and incredible, but maybe ... things will be simpler than imagined.

  ...

  Legend has it that when a person is on the verge of death his mind will run back to his past life.

  Jiang Li feels that he is now going through this stage.

  At a young age, her parents divorced, and her father was too busy working to discipline her, so she made a group of friends.

  Jiang Li knows that she is not good-looking, but also knows that the so-called friends are most likely to come for their money.

  But she does not care.

  What she cared about was her father's gaze ...

  She even expected that, watching herself become bad, her father would beat herself severely ...

  But Jiang Li was disappointed.

  The father she was expecting didn't even notice his daughter's change. For Jiang Li's growing financial needs, Jiang's father was always so generous, as if by giving enough money, he expressed enough love ...

  However, in society, money and love may be equated, but in the parent-child relationship this obviously does not hold true.

  Jiang Li became more and more daring and reckless.

  Until Jiang Li's birthday, she suddenly realised that she had really become bad ...

  She could no longer hold any expectations for that successful businessman, the one who always measured everything with money, or rather, she could no longer hold any expectations for anyone.

  She only believed in herself.

  After receiving a hurried blessing message from Jiang's father in a few words, Jiang Li smiled sarcastically and opened the door to her room.

  An empty house could not be considered a home.

  However,... after opening the door to the room, Jiang Li unexpectedly took a step into a space filled with grey mist,...

  From panic and fear, to seeing life and death.

  Jiang Li had thought that she had long been accustomed to all this, but now it seems that this is all just self-hypnosis within herself.

  She was afraid of death, very afraid of death ...

  She didn't want to die in this damn misty space, she still had a big life to live.

  But ... all of this will go up in smoke under the gaze of that doorway figure ...

  Jiang Li closed her eyes in despair, and the sound of pulling open the storage room came to her ears.

  Her head was buried low, even though she knew it was useless.

  'Creak-'

  The door opened.

  A beam of light poured in.

  However, what was imagined didn't appear, and instead a not-so-unfamiliar voice rang out:

  'Miss Kang.'

  It was Bai Yanliang's voice!

  Jiang Li jerked her head up to see that the one who was pulling open the doorway of the storage room with one hand was not precisely Bai Yanliang!

  At this moment, Jiang Li, it was as if she had seen the saviour, no... for her at this moment, Bai Yanliang was the saviour!

  God knows how fearful and uneasy her heart was, however, it was such a desperate situation that Bai Yanliang appeared!

  'Come out, Miss Jiang.'

  Bai Yanliang extended his hand to Jiang Li, it was slender and white.

  Jiang Li looked at him in a daze, not having recovered from the excitement of the ups and downs for a while.

  She subconsciously handed her hand to Bai Yanliang.

  Ice.

  What a cold hand ...

  Jiang Li shivered, and then she was gently taken by Bai Yanliang and pulled out of the storage room. 'You're in a very dangerous situation, Miss Jiang.' Bai Yanliang kept gazing at her, looking at Jiang Li with some embarrassment.

  She felt strange, this kind of embarrassing emotion hadn't appeared for many, many years.

  'You ... are here to find me?' Jiang Li tilted her head and looked at Bai Yanliang, her expression softening considerably.

  Bai Yanliang smiled and didn't say anything.

  'Let's go, I'll send you to the ground floor.' Bai Yanliang didn't say anything more, turned around and led the way, pressing the lift.

  'Ding ...'

  The lift was still waiting on the sixth floor, and at this moment, it suddenly opened.

  Standing in front of the lift, behind them was a long corridor.

  For some reason, the moment the lift doors opened, a cold, damp, uncomfortable feeling appeared abruptly, causing Jiang Li to subconsciously resist.

  However, Bai Yanliang didn't seem to notice anything, still looking at her with a smile, 'Don't delay, Miss Jiang, it's very unsafe here.'

  Although she knew that what Bai Yanliang said made sense, Jiang Li was still reluctant to walk into that lift.

  It was an indefinable feeling that made Jiang Li's heart unusually twisted.

  But ... the next moment Bai Yanliang had already taken a step ahead of her, stepped into the lift, and pressed the button waiting for her.

  Being watched by him, Jiang Li was a little hesitant, and finally ... she poked out her foot, ready to step in.

  'Wait!'

  Suddenly!

  A call rang out from afar.

  The source of the voice was the end of the corridor, at the stairs!

  Although these two words 'wait' were ordinary, in the ears of the current Jiang Li, it was no less than the sound of a life sentence!

  Because, the voice that shouted these two words she had just heard!

  Jiang Li violently turned around and twisted her head to look at the end of the corridor.

  A showy young man was standing there, it was ... Bai Yanliang!

  Another Bai Yanliang!

  A coldness rose from his back, and Jiang Li didn't even have time to look back at Bai Yanliang in the lift before he jogged forward a few steps and stood in the middle of the corridor.

  'Ta.'

  Bai Yanliang in the lift took a step forward and poked his body out, looking anxiously at Jiang Li and shouting, 'Miss Jiang! What are you doing? Don't trust him, come over here!'

  His urgency was genuine, and with one foot jammed against the lift door, his expression did not look as if he was acting.

  However, on the other side, that Bai Yanliang who ran up from the stairs didn't say a word, just quietly looking at Jiang Li and at the lift, without much expression on his face either.

  Who is real and who is fake seems to be clear at a glance.

  But for Jiang Li at this moment, if he chose the wrong one, it would mean that he would be killed by the fierce ghost! Die in the world of the misty space!

  What to do ...

  Who is real?

  Who is fake?

  Jiang Li stuck to the wall, sometimes looking to the left, sometimes looking to the right.

  Bai Yanliang at the lift was so anxious that he was sweating, while Bai Yanliang at the stairs had a gloomy and quiet look, his eyes kept going back and forth between the two.

  'Miss Jiang, if you don't come I'll leave!'

  The Bai Yanliang at the lift seemed unable to wait any longer, and his probing foot was gradually withdrawing, while at the same time, the Bai Yanliang at the staircase unexpectedly took a step, approaching towards Jiang Li step by step!

  Knock Knock...

  Knock knock...

  Knock knock ...

  Jiang Li's heartbeat was like a beating drum, intense qi and blood surging madly, her eyes were covered with blood, and she was twisting her head from side to side faster and faster!

  Who was real and who was fake?

  'I'm leaving!' Bai Yanliang at the lift gave an ultimatum, his foot jerking back as if he was ready to give up on her.

  Jiang Li's heart trembled as she finally made up her mind!

  She took a step and actually ran towards the stairs!
