Chapter 295: Chapter 31 Memory

"Forget it, Nian Cheng, stop it!"

At that moment, Zhang Li, trembling with fear, said, "I, I don’t want to die here!"

After all, starting a fight less than two meters away from the dense fog was extremely dangerous; one careless move could result in falling into the fog and certain death.

In the end, they didn’t have such a deep relationship with Shen Lisheng, and had only joined this operation to save face for Ge Niancheng.

And it was only because of Ge Niancheng’s reminder that they recalled Lu Rui was part of the patrol. Had it not been for that, they wouldn’t even have remembered.

Now, Long Zhiqiang had died bizarrely!

Under such circumstances, everyone was thinking of self-preservation first! Who would risk their lives to go against He Yun? He Yun wasn’t made of paper that could be pushed into the White Mist!

"Nian Cheng, listen to my advice," Zhang Wei took a deep breath and said, "I don’t know what you’re thinking, but... under the current situation, let’s just stop!"

Dai Lin’s eyes were also firmly locked on Ge Niancheng.

This man had fallen into madness for revenge. What was the time? And still thinking about infighting? Couldn’t he see the current situation?

Just now, Dai Lin had sensed some terrifying presence deep within the fog. He was certain that it would take a doctor of Fang Zhou’s caliber to handle it, and he... was far from being its match.

Ge Niancheng looked around and saw that no one was willing to listen to him anymore.

This team, he clearly couldn’t command it.

"Pull yourself together, Nian Cheng!"

Zhang Wei, who had been sent by Ge Niancheng to tail "Lu Zhengqiang," was one with considerable strength. Even he was against him, so it was obviously going to be very difficult for him to achieve his goal today. And the deaths of Long Zhiqiang and Lu Rui would naturally be blamed on him by their families.

"All right then."

Ge Niancheng looked down at Long Zhiqiang’s corpse on the ground and said, "Let’s continue the patrol. After it’s over, we’ll come back for Zhiqiang’s body. But that’s after I have killed He Yun! You don’t have to help, but don’t hinder me!"

"Ge Niancheng."

At that moment, He Yun looked seriously at Ge Niancheng and said, "I’ve told you countless times, Shen Lisheng was not killed by me!"

"You don’t even remember how Li Sheng died, how can you be sure it wasn’t you who killed him? When he died, you weren’t in the team’s original position, you were in Li Sheng’s spot! You’re not going to tell me that you were trying to save him, are you?"

"Nian Cheng! Please, just stop, okay?" Zhang Wei never expected Ge Niancheng to be so obsessively fixated. "Why do you have to do this to yourself?"

He Yun simply walked over, stopping just two meters away from Ge Niancheng.

"Fine, since you don’t trust me, bring it on! If you want to kill me, I’m not going to let you just because you are the son of the village chief!"

Ge Niancheng was overjoyed to see He Yun approaching him voluntarily.

What he feared was He Yun hiding behind "Lu Zhengqiang," for then he really wouldn’t have any way to get to him.

"He Yun," Ge Niancheng raised his hand, pointing at him, "what right do you have to be so self-righteous in front of me? Back then, you insisted on stealing my love, and even though you did such a despicable thing, let it be! But after you caused Li Sheng’s death, you immediately got together with Su Wenxin! You and that bitch would have been drowned in a pig cage in ancient times!"

He Yun clenched his fists, not avoiding Ge Niancheng standing in front of him, and said, "Wen Xin and I are the same, we take responsibility for our actions. But we didn’t do it, and nobody can pin that blame on us! Yes, I don’t remember how Shen Lisheng died, but I never thought of killing him!"

"Hypocrite!" Ge Niancheng, looking at He Yun in front of him, was reminded of Uncle Shen Zhian, who had fallen into immense sorrow from losing his only son.

How could there be such shameless people?

"So many people died in the village, why should the two of you survive!"

At that time, Su Wenxin also ran up and stood next to He Yun.

"Nian Cheng, if you want to kill He Yun, I won’t let you succeed!" Su Wenxin’s eyes were filled with equal determination, "I don’t regret the decisions I’ve made!"

"Are you joking with me, Su Wenxin?" Ge Niancheng was both angry and furious, "Was someone holding a knife against you, forcing you to marry Li Sheng? Was there? And you have no regrets? If you didn’t like Li Sheng, you shouldn’t have done that in the first place! At the engagement feast where the whole village came, you publicly left with someone else, where did that leave Li Sheng’s face? You might not have taken part in killing Li Sheng, but you deserve to die all the same!"

"I..."

Obviously, when it came to this issue, He Yun and Su Wenxin both felt guilty.

However, the most speechless person at this time was Dai Lin.

Do you all not understand the current situation?

Do you think this is some Qiong Yao drama?

"Ge Niancheng," Dai Lin couldn’t stand it anymore, he didn’t know if staying here would bring even more terrible spirits from the mist, so he stepped forward and said, "Think carefully."

He really didn’t want to worry about human infighting while dealing with ghosts. The best outcome would be to resolve the problem without killing anyone.

He only wanted to find out the truth behind the mist, the origins of the temple, the mysterious porcelain doll, and the terrifying shadowy figure in the mist.

"Lu Zhengqiang, what benefits have they given you to support them like this?"

Seeing that Dai Lin had also stepped out, Ge Niancheng realized that it was going to be very difficult to get his way tonight.

"Okay," he looked again at He Yun, "answer me, He Yun. Why did Zhiqiang die? Don’t tell me this has nothing to do with you?"

"I know you won’t believe me, but it really doesn’t have anything to do with me."

"Are you always so self-righteous? Don’t you have a shred of shame or guilt, He Yun!"

Actually...

Dai Lin had always had a speculation about Shen Lisheng’s death back in the day.

After reading He Yun’s memories, he knew some insider details.

Back then, the village chief had promised He Yun that as long as he was around, he would protect He Yun, and in return, he hoped that He Yun would not forget this kindness in the future. Clearly, there was something the village chief wanted to do with He Yun for some unknown reason.

Before Shen Lisheng’s death, the village chief had found He Yun and discussed something with him.

That matter... made Dai Lin vaguely guess that there might be some hidden story behind Shen Lisheng’s death.

At least from Dai Lin’s reading of He Yun’s memories, He Yun did not appear to be a morally corrupt person; on the contrary, He Yun was much like Luo Ren in the past, both committed from a young age to become doctors, and after hard study, they got admitted into medical school.

He Yun’s acquaintance with Su Wenxin through to their love affair had always given Dai Lin a strange sense of discord.

This sense of discord always had some parts that did not match up logically.

Therefore, this aroused another speculation in Dai Lin.

That is...

"Save... me..."

Just as Nian Cheng was unrelenting, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the White Mist nearby.

Nian Cheng’s face showed shock as he immediately looked toward the thick fog.

"Li Sheng... Li Sheng?"

Dai Lin immediately looked towards that patch of White Mist!

But this time, Dai Lin found... he could no longer see the scene within the White Mist!

What was inside the mist... now?

Nian Cheng slowly walked towards the White Mist, picking up the porcelain doll that was now missing a head.

Truth be told, if He Yun had rushed forward to push, he could’ve immediately pushed Nian Cheng into the mist. But he did not do so. After all, even if he killed Nian Cheng, everyone would completely forget about his tenure as team leader.

"Li Sheng, is that you, Li Sheng?"

Dai Lin immediately remembered the experience recounted by "Dai Wei" in He Yun’s memory!

Tonight...

Is it happening again?

Dai Lin covered his right eye and widened his left eye.

The crack began to expand bit by bit until it filled the entire eyeball.

In the memories he had read from He Yun, there had always been a place in the logic that didn’t add up.

He Yun and Su Wenxin had met after she went to the city to look for work with Shen Lisheng.

But every time He Yun interacted with Su Wenxin, he had never encountered Shen Lisheng.

His first meeting with Shen Lisheng was at the engagement banquet.

But the problem is...

That period of memory always felt subtly unnatural.

If we say...

The crack shattered open, revealing a glimpse of darkness through the depths of the pupil.

Deep in the White Mist, Dai Lin intended to see what that really was!

Shen Lisheng...

Is it possible...

He was never an actually existing "person" to begin with?

An unknown evil spirit that walked out of the White Mist?
