"Lemon, have you ever met Song A and Pei Zi before? Who exactly are they?" I felt something was off about them this time. It's not that I'm overly suspicious; it's just that I really don't know what to believe anymore. After all, with the fake 'dad' situation, I genuinely doubt if they are all after that Black Key.
"Yeah, I met them a few years ago in an ancient tomb."
As soon as Lime finished speaking, I froze. Song A is definitely not an ordinary person! Ha, it's my own fault for being naive. When I first moved from Changsha to Sichuan, I thought Song A and Songzi genuinely wanted to be friends with me! It seems those people are still relentless; not only did they kidnap my dad, but they also sent someone to monitor me. After all, faking identities is far too easy, especially since I never investigated them.
I suddenly felt a chill run through me. I didn't realize those people had already started plotting. First, they sent someone to get close to my dad and me, and then perhaps unable to wait any longer, they directly kidnapped him while the others continued to approach me to gain my trust?
No wonder just a few days after my dad was taken, Song A came to inform me. Songzi had a reason to accompany me on my journey as well, and here I was, foolishly thinking Song A was a kindred spirit. Little did I know it was all a trap designed to lure me in. How deep are these people's schemes!
At this point, another person came to mind: Sudai's brother went along too. Could it be that Sudai is also involved...
"Don't think too much," Lime sighed. I looked up and saw he had already stood up. He said to me, "This matter is complicated; they will use any means necessary in their quest for 'Eternal Life. Human lives mean nothing to them."
"Who exactly are they?" At that moment, I surprisingly felt calm.
Lime shook his head and said, "I've been investigating, but they are too well hidden; their internal unity makes it impossible to infiltrate."
"Then what about Black Key? Why are they so intent on obtaining it?" I asked again.
"The key is obviously meant to Open the Door," Lime replied with a mysterious smile. "I don't know much more than that. Now that you've been targeted, escaping will be very difficult unless you pretend not to know me and no longer get involved in this matter."
I clenched my fists and said, "It's impossible. I will find out all the truths!"
With that, Lime and I continued toward the main burial chamber. The ancient tomb we were in was not an ordinary one, so the closer we got to the main chamber, the more dangerous it became. After walking for a while, we came across three forks in the path. The paths ahead and to the right sloped upward, while only the left path sloped downward.
"Which way should we go?" I asked, looking at Lime's back.
"Straight up," he replied and began to climb. The slope wasn't very steep, so aside from exerting a bit more effort, it was relatively easy.
As I saw light filtering from above, I knew we must be close to the exit. However, at that moment, Lime suddenly pulled out a gun from his waist and started shooting without a word. I saw many bullet casings flying toward me. Since my arm had been hit by an arrow, I was relying mainly on one hand and my legs for strength. The vibrations from above caused me to slide down several meters before I managed to stabilize myself.
When I looked up again, Lime had disappeared. In his place was a black-green vine-like thing reaching down. Before I could react, it wrapped around my hand, pulling me upward with great force, lifting me off the ground while tightly coiling around my waist.
In the next second, I was shocked again. Several Light Slots in the chamber had been ignited, allowing me to see clearly that there were numerous people and skeletons hanging upside down beside me! Since I was also hanging upside down, it didn't take long for my head to feel like it was bursting and my limbs to go numb. Shaking my head, I heard Wuma You shouting angrily nearby: "Damn it! How long are we going to hang here? Boss, think of something fast!"
The "boss" that Wuma You referred to was Pei Zi. He didn't respond to Wuma You, instead trying his best to bend his body into a U-shape so he could use the dagger in his hand to cut the vine binding his ankle. However, due to the swaying from his efforts, he couldn't aim properly.
"Zier, are you okay?" My 'dad' was hanging on my left side, looking at me with concern.
"I'm fine," I smiled at him.
"Feng Zi, are you hurt?" On the other side, Song A also asked with concern.
Looking at Song A's overly 'caring' expression made me feel nauseous. Coldly, I replied, "I'm not dying." Running away faster than a rabbit when danger struck and only now thinking of showing concern? Isn't it too late? If you're going to act, at least do it convincingly; this is so unprofessional!
Song A looked a bit awkward and said with guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't go back to save you."
"It's okay, I'm fine anyway," I replied without looking at him, instead scanning the area below, hoping to see Lime, but I couldn't find him. So I started thinking of ways to save myself. Although I didn't have a dagger in my hand, I bent my upper body upwards like Pei Zi. Clearly, I had overestimated myself; after struggling for a long time, I couldn't even form a U-shape and ended up sweating profusely, causing the previously bandaged wound to reopen.
I really wanted to bang my head against something; I was so unwilling to accept how weak I was. If it were Lime, he would have easily flipped over and slashed that creature with his knife, landing safely.
Thinking about this gave me a surge of motivation. I desperately reached up and finally managed to grab my thigh. Excited, I began to move upward step by step. At that moment, I heard someone click their tongue. I thought it was an illusion, but when I looked down, I found Lime standing directly beneath me, watching me. My face flushed red with embarrassment; I couldn't bear to look at him, yet inside, I was lamenting how this person always caught me in such a pathetic state!
"Master Qing, you finally came! Please save us!" Wuma You seemed to have grasped a lifeline and shouted excitedly. However, due to his loud voice, the surrounding vines began to stir again.
"Old witch, shut up!" After cursing Wuma You, Pei Zi made another effort; with a strong swing of his arm, he fell down with a splash. Just watching it made me feel pained.
At the moment Pei Zi fell, many vines suddenly appeared around him and attacked. But Pei Zi managed to cut through several of them and stood still beside them. As he remained motionless, it seemed those vines didn't notice him and slowly retreated.
At that moment, I saw Lime throw down a long rope...
