Chapter 317: After modification: Chapter 317 Dispute

Qi Nian stared at Bai Yanliang in shock.

To be honest, she didn’t quite understand what Bai Yanliang was saying.

But there was one thing she could grasp, which was... from beginning to end, they had never completed a mission in the real world, even if they went to the location in reality themselves, they would be instantly transported to the past time at the start of the mission.

From this point of view, it’s reasonable to say that the power of Fog Gathering has weakened.

Now, it can only insert a fragment of the past world into the real-time space, and moreover... it also needs the cursed one to personally go to the site of the event.

"This... is just too unbelievable..."

Qi Nian murmured.

By Bai Yanliang’s side, he was already lying on the floor, stretching his head to look under the table.

Others perhaps have preconceived notions, believing Fog Gathering exists to lead everyone to their deaths, dragging them into Hell.

But Bai Yanliang had doubts from the start, because he even felt that Fog Gathering in its rules is protecting humans, restricting fierce ghosts.

Otherwise, with the terrifying and abnormal abilities of the fierce ghosts, they would have long killed everyone.

And what’s more bizarre, is the existence of "ghosts", and yet the whole world can still operate smoothly for such a long time, isn’t this thanks to Fog Gathering from another perspective?

Without Fog Gathering, what kind of disaster would it be for all the fierce ghosts to invade from the past world into reality?

Bai Yanliang couldn’t imagine.

However, the idea that Fog Gathering might be helping humanity didn’t truly take hold in Bai Yanliang’s mind until the existence of the keys and the emergence of many key holders.

Although on the surface, spaces like Fog Gathering seem cruel and terrifying, those who survive in the end get a world! A past world sealed with fierce ghosts!

This sort of selection of survivors between great terror of life and death, granting them power, is very much like commando soldiers.

Bai Yanliang always had a thought in his mind, which is... someday, "Fog Gathering" will call all the key holders together, to make them do something...

Maybe, that will be after this Fog Gathering completely collapses?

Everything is still unknown.

Bai Yanliang clapped his hands and got up from the floor.

"Qi Nian, check what happened on May 5, 2016."

"Okay!" Qi Nian snapped back to attention, listening to Bai Yanliang’s instructions, she input the key words into her phone.

Moments later, her eyes lit up.

"I know! I know who Liu Rui is!"

"On May 5, 2016, the famous director Liu Anzhi was involved in a car accident on his way to shoot in Sanbai Town and unfortunately died..."

"This Liu Rui, is Director Liu Anzhi’s daughter!"

Qi Nian said excitedly.

It all made sense, the reason Liu Rui cooperated with the fierce ghost was found.

She would murder Lin Dayou and the others, it seems that the car accident back then wasn’t simple...

Bai Yanliang bowed his head in thought, and after a moment, he lifted his head: "Come, help me lift this table."

"Oh, okay!"

...

Second floor, Horse Head Room.

A headless corpse, a human head, there was no excess blood, nor any strange odor.

"Move aside."

Song Que pushed aside the trembling Wang Rui and others, and entered the room.

He squatted down and pressed a bit on Lin Dayou’s corpse.

Then, he turned back and said, "Does anyone have a knife?"

The group, seemingly struck dumb with fear, shook their heads, and only Wang Rui suddenly said, "The kitch... the kitchen has knives, I’ll go get one for you..."

Song Que glanced at him, just about to nod, when suddenly Xu Zhifei said, "No need."

Then Xu Zhifei half-kneeled on the ground, carefully examining Lin Dayou’s body, and said, "The blood has been drained."

Song Que then remembered that Xu Zhifei’s real-world profession seemed to be a profiler, often dealing with various crimes, she indeed was more professional in such matters.

Ouyang Kang was still in shock, his eyes blank, muttering, "How could this be... how could this be..."

A moment later, he suddenly seemed to remember something, suddenly jumped up from the ground, screaming, "The paper? Where’s the paper!"

Zhan Yunhong and the others also turned pale, right... Lin Dayou was dead, although the manner of death was slightly different from what was recorded on that piece of paper, this could be because they came to find him in advance, from the result, Lin Dayou indeed died.

So... who’s next?

"Paper... paper... right! The paper is on Lin Dayou!"

At this point, Ouyang Kang seemed to have no fear of the corpse at all, he suddenly pounced on the headless body, searching all over Lin Dayou’s body.

"No... no... no..." he muttered nervously, finally with a joyful expression, "Found it!"

Ouyang Kang shakily unfolded the piece of A4 paper, and read: "Ouyang Kang and Zhan Yunhong had a dispute over whether to stay or leave..."

"The two fought..."

"To calm them down, Wang Rui and Liu Ruonan locked them in the Ox Head Room and Dog Head Room respectively..."

"During dinner, when Wang Rui went to open the door, she did not find Ouyang Kang and Zhan Yunhong..."

"The two disappeared, Wang Rui and Liu Ruonan went to search, finding them skinned and hung from a tree in the yard..."

"Zhan Yunhong!" Ouyang Kang’s eyes were blood-red, "I’m gonna kill you!"

Ouyang Kang threw away the A4 paper, rushing towards Zhan Yunhong.

Zhan Yunhong was much stronger than Ouyang Kang, he almost subdued the frenzied Ouyang Kang with one hand.

"Have you gone mad!"

"Let go of me! Why are you stopping me, not letting me leave?"

Ouyang Kang struggled desperately, his eyes bloodshot as he roared.

"How would I know?" Zhan Yunhong was evidently puzzled too, with such an incident, he himself wanted to leave, how could he possibly argue with Ouyang Kang over whether to stay or leave?

This was when Song Que picked up the A4 paper with the subsequent plot written on it, his gaze slightly focused.

He subtly glanced at Wang Rui and Liu Ruonan.

The script mentioned that these two women locked the two men, Ouyang Kang and Zhan Yunhong, into the rooms respectively, their strength... was indeed outstanding, to the point they could subdue two men during a fight...

"This... who dropped it?"

Suddenly, the voice of Xu Zhifei sounded.

Everyone was drawn by her voice, only to see her holding a ring in her hand.

Upon seeing this ring, everyone except Song Que’s expression changed.

"You... where did you pick that up?" Ouyang Kang said with an unnatural expression.

"On the ground." Xu Zhifei looked at him.

"It’s mine!" Ouyang Kang suddenly snatched the ring, "This... actually, it’s a surprise I prepared for Xiao Rui."

Xu Zhifei quietly looked at him: "This is a men’s ring."

"I know! That’s why it’s mine, Xiao Rui’s is elsewhere!" Ouyang Kang glared at Xu Zhifei.

"Then, how about this?"

Xu Zhifei took out another item, this time, it was a watch.
