Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 154: Letter from the Future #5

【Name】: Yan Lin

【Age】: 33 years old

【Organization】: Sun Eclipse Biotechnology

【Position】: Ordinary Researcher in the company's Scientific Research Building

Bai Liang looked at his senior colleague and, using his "Insight Eye" ability, checked his information down to the smallest detail.

His senior colleague was definitely not a Player. What about the others?

Bai Liang turned his attention to one of those who had exited the laboratory empty-handed.

【Name】: Liu Chengxin

【Age】: 28 years old

【Position】: Ordinary Researcher in the company's Scientific Research Building

He wasn't a Player either. Was the Rule mistaken?

Seeing this, Bai Liang felt doubtful, but decided against using "Insight Eye" to check the others.

This ability could only be used five times per Dungeon, and since Bai Liang hadn't chosen the corresponding Title, he could only use it two and a half times...

That "half" could be disregarded, Bai Liang thought, as he couldn't even tell if it was a "half" that was only half-visible, or one that could only be used halfway.

"Let's go eat," Bai Liang said to Yan Lin.

It seemed he would have to look for clues elsewhere. For now, the only breakthrough point remained Professor Zhang; perhaps he could obtain some key information from him.

Or he would have to wait until tomorrow, hoping that the next letter would provide new hints.

At "Sun Eclipse Biotechnology," the food was top-notch. The company truly provided its researchers with the best possible provisions.

Even for meals, they had several restaurants from which employees could choose dishes to their liking.

After eating, Bai Liang returned to his room, where a white envelope lay on his table.

Looking at the envelope, Bai Liang suddenly considered an idea he wanted to test. He took the envelope and pulled out the letter.

"If I can receive a letter from my future self tomorrow, then can't I write a letter to my past self yesterday? Or will my future self tomorrow be able to receive a letter from me the day after tomorrow?"

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door.

Knock-knock!

"Who's there?" Bai Liang reflexively called out, turning around.

"Doctor Bai, it's me, Fu Xiaoyu," a muffled female voice, tinged with urgency, echoed from outside.

Fu Xiaoyu?

Hearing that name, a strange expression appeared in Bai Liang's eyes. His gaze fell upon the letter in his hand.

Wasn't this the very person the letter mentioned as having many "sycophants"?

Why had she come to him precisely now?

"Doctor Bai, I have a very important matter I wish to discuss with you. Could you please open the door?" Fu Xiaoyu spoke with increasing insistence, her tone betraying clear concern.

It seemed the matter she spoke of was truly serious, given that she had turned for help to Bai Liang, who had only recently started working at the company and with whom she was barely acquainted.

Hearing this, Bai Liang stood up and walked towards the door. His hand was already reaching for the handle, ready to open the door, but the next moment, he paused.

Suddenly, he recalled the Rules his senior colleague had spoken of:

"After returning to the dormitory, always lock the door. If you hear a knock while resting, make sure the person outside is someone you know. If you don't know them, under no circumstances should you open the door."

The situation unfolding now precisely matched these Rules.

Bai Liang placed his hand on the doorknob, but before opening the door, he approached the peephole and looked through it. Through the peephole, he saw a tall young woman standing outside.

She had a high ponytail, wore Spectacles, and her White Lab Coat accentuated her figure.

But now she looked clearly agitated: one hand gripped her pocket, and her gaze darted nervously from side to side, as if she feared someone.

"So, does this person count as someone I know, or not?" Bai Liang thought.

He had seen Fu Xiaoyu beforethey were both members of the same research group and worked in the same laboratory. However, their relationship did not extend beyond formal collegial interactionup until this moment, they hadn't even spoken once.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Bai Liang still decided to open the door.

"Doctor Bai!" Upon seeing the door open, Fu Xiaoyu finally sighed in relief. It was evident that a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

"Doctor Fu, what happened?" Bai Liang looked at her with bewilderment.

Fu Xiaoyu collected herself a little and replied:

"The thing is, I've lost my access card. I've searched everywhere for it, but I still can't find it. Could I ask you to help me request another card from the professor?"

Lost her access card?

Bai Liang frowned. An access card was an extremely important item in the companywithout it, no door could be opened. If an employee didn't have an access card, it could lead to serious consequences.

Fu Xiaoyu, as a company employee, should have understood this. Moreover, Professor Zhang had only recently reminded everyone about it in the laboratory when distributing the cards.

After receiving her access card, barely half a day had passed, and Fu Xiaoyu had already managed to lose it.

After a moment of thought, Bai Liang shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, Doctor Fu, but I can't help you."

People who live to be a hundred years old do one thing particularly wellthey don't meddle in other people's affairs.

Many examples prove one truth: those who poke their noses too much into others' business rarely end up with anything good. And Bai Liang, furthermore, was a person who hated unnecessary trouble.

Professor Zhang's favor was too important for him to waste on such a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyu pressed her lips tightly together and said:

"Doctor Bai, if you agree to help me, I'll owe you, and you can ask anything of meI'll fulfill any condition you set."

Any condition?

The corners of Bai Liang's lips lifted slightly.

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Fu Xiaoyu's eyes.

"Sorry, but I don't need your gratitude," Bai Liang left that phrase hanging and slammed the door shut.

- 【Incredible! Bai-san is showing off againrefusing a girl so decisively and without hesitation!】

- 【Shock! The famous slacker and beauty connoisseur refused a girl who threw herself into his arms! What is thisa decline in morality or a perversion of human nature? Details on Bai-san's live stream!】

- 【Honestly, that girl is quite pretty. And Bai-san didn't even try to flirt a little?】

- 【If that were me, at this moment I'd already be lying on the bed with a cigarette.】

- 【He exited so elegantly, and mentioned those three seconds so beautifullyyou're simply a talent!】

- 【By the way, what kind of mission is this? I've never seen it before. I've been watching streams for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen such a scenario!】

- 【In the world of missions related to the "Strange World," there are countless numbers of them. We can't know every single one. Perhaps Bai-san simply stumbled upon a rare, previously unseen storyline!】

【I just checked, and it turns out no one has seen this Dungeon before! White God has entered a completely new Dungeon!】

【The difficulty level immediately spiked. A Dungeon no one has entered before means all clues are unknown, and the outcome of events is absolutely unpredictable!】

On the live stream, viewers actively discussed what was happening.

Meanwhile, Bai Liang stood in the room, watching the events outside through the peephole.

"Doctor Bai, I still hope you'll reconsider everything carefully!" Fu Xiaoyu said.

Her words went unanswered. Looking around with clear disappointment, she eventually left with a displeased expression.

Seeing this, Bai Liang sat down on the sofa again and began examining the letter.

He continued to ponder the possibility of his assumptions.

Could he write a letter to his past self yesterday?
