Don't follow the rules

Chapter 453: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Twenty-nine)
Ning Yao was grabbed by the collar and pushed back and forth by Liang Feng, causing his head to shake back and forth so violently that it looked like his head would fall off at any moment.

But there was no anger on his face, he just pretended to be surprised: "No one? How could it be? Xiaobai was inside when we came out, and we were watching the door. If she came out after crying, the three of us would definitely see her."

Gao Yang quickly testified for Ning Yao: "What Big Brother said is true. When we came out, Sister Xiaobai was really in there."

"Where is she?!" Liang Feng was really going crazy.

"I don't know~" Ning Yao spread his hands.

Yu Min asked, "Is there any secret passage in your lounge?"

Liang Feng: "Please sister, I'm here to work, not to escape the secret room. How could there be a secret passage in the lounge!"

Yu Min stuck out her tongue: "I'm just using my imagination a little bit..."

Ning Yao freed his collar from Liang Feng's hands and smoothed it carefully to make sure it was not torn.

Liang Feng was so angry when he saw his behavior that he deserved a beating: "Don't act like I molested you!"

“No, no~” Ning Yao patted his clothes, “I just wanted to see if it was damaged. If it was, I would have to buy a new one here.”

He pointed to a plastic mannequin not far away and said, "But it seems that your home furnishing mall only has home clothes. We still have a mission to complete. I don't want to appear too comfortable."

Seeing that Liang Feng was about to go berserk, Ning Yao quickly brought the topic to a close: "Okay, okay, let's all calm down - so the situation now is that Xiaobai disappeared right under the noses of the three of us? This situation sounds a little familiar... Do you think it has something to do with the disappearance of my teammates?"

Gao Yang added: "To be precise, it's not under our noses. We just guarded the gate and made sure no one came in or out. As for how and when Sister Xiaobai disappeared, we actually don't know."

While they were saying these two sentences, Liang Feng had already gone in and out anxiously several times.

"Sister Feng, please listen to what we have to say first..." Ning Yao stretched out Erkang's hand.

"I'm listening." Liang Feng began to check the door panel. "It's such a small place, how could I not hear it?"

"There's so little space here, and you said there's no secret passage. The person is missing and he's missing. We can't find him even if we take down the door panels now." Ning Yao picked his nose, adding fuel to the fire for the anxious Liang Feng.

Liang Feng slowly stopped what he was doing, turned his back to everyone, and quietly wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Turning around, she was in a rush again: "Did you come up with any ideas after discussing this?"

Ning Yao held up his cheek and said, "The biggest similarity between these two disappearances is that they both happened out of our sight."

"Nonsense, can someone disappearing in front of you be called 'missing'? That's called 'making a living person appear again'." Liang Feng put his hands on his hips.

Ning Yao shook his head slightly: "You don't get what I mean."

"It's hard to explain my teammate's disappearance. After all, we were too far away at the time. There are many ways for him to disappear in the mall, and it's hard for us to pinpoint the direction of our reasoning. But Xiaobai's disappearance was only separated from us by a door, and this door was even the only exit from the lounge. So the way Xiaobai disappeared is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do."

Ning Yao said seriously: "Xiao Bai has completely ruled out the possibility of 'conventional physics'. We can try to rely on metaphysics, ghosts, or magic as much as possible."

Gao Yang: "Brother, don't scare me."

"He didn't scare you," Liang Feng admitted. "This place isn't exactly clean to begin with."

Yu Min calmly accepted the reality: "Well, from the moment I drew the Easter egg, I already regarded this place as a haunted house."

"It's not a haunted house," Liang Feng sighed, "but there are indeed quite a lot of things here that don't make sense."

Ning Yao: "For example, a humanoid body?"

Liang Feng glanced at him and said, "You seem really interested in humanoid bodies." Ning Yao waved his hand, "No, no, I'm just curious."

"The humanoid body is just... a part of it, or just one link in that chain. I'm sorry I can't say too much now, but if you are really interested, help me find Xiaobai, and I can find a way to pull you into that chain. Although I can't let you get any benefits from it, if you just want to learn a little bit, then it should be no problem." Liang Feng promised.

Ning Yao: "Is this a deal?"

Liang Feng: "It's a deal."

"it is good."

Ning Yao raised the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Bai is still here, she didn't leave."

He suddenly threw a bomb onto the calm water.

"What...what?!" Liang Feng widened his eyes and was about to grab his collar again, but Ning Yao easily dodged by leaning back slightly.

Gao Yang hugged his arms and rubbed his goose bumps hard: "Brother, don't scare me!"

Yu Min had very consciously found a bench to sit on, to avoid being frightened to the point of having her legs go limp.

Ning Yao and Liang Feng looked at each other. He stared into her eyes and said very seriously, "I'm serious."

"You can think of me as having some special abilities. I can sense people's auras. Since we came out of the lounge just now, I could sense that Xiaobai was in the room. Now her aura is still in the room. She hasn't moved or disappeared, but we can't see her."

"Is she still in there?"

Liang Feng didn't have the heart to worry about this nonsense murderer who suddenly boasted about his special abilities. When he heard him say that Xiaobai was still there, he immediately turned around and went into the lounge to search for him.

"No, nothing." She came out dejectedly.

Ning Yao was not disrupted by Liang Feng. After she calmed down, he continued, "Not only Xiaobai, there is another person in the lounge with her."

Liang Feng was stunned: "There is another person? Who? Could it be that he held Xiao Bai hostage?!"

"I don't think it's her."

"why?"

“Because they have a good relationship.”

"They have a good relationship?" Liang Feng frowned. "Who?"

Ning Yao pointed his finger at Liang Feng: "You."

Liang Feng frowned even more tightly: "What do you mean? Of course I have a good relationship with Xiao Bai, but what does this have to do with the person inside?"

"I said that the person who disappeared with Xiaobai in the lounge was you." Ning Yao finally pointed out with a smile what Gao Yang and Yu Min had never dared to mention.

There might be more than one Liang Feng in this mall, at least two, three? Or even more.

Liang Feng was completely confused: "Me? Xiaobai and I were both in the lounge? And we disappeared together?"

"Haha." Liang Feng finally deeply felt that people will really laugh when they are extremely speechless.

"Then who is the 'I' standing in front of you now? Has your plot progressed to the real and fake Monkey King?" She asked, pointing at her nose.

"You are Liang Feng." Ning Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. "She is also Liang Feng. Both of you are the real Liang Feng. There is no Six-Eared Macaque among you."
