Chapter 242: Encountering Acquaintances, Still Rude
After passing through that invisible "Membrane," the environment suddenly changed, revealing two completely different places.
Previously, we were in a mysterious and intricate Cave, but now we found ourselves in a grand hall. It seemed that even the teleportation points were random; what a magical feeling! Hehe... it was no surprise to Yang Bin and the others, as their very existence was a mystery without scientific basis.
"Look for any everlasting lamps or Light Slots; if you find any, light them," I said while shining my flashlight around. I could only see a few large pillars, and the stones beneath my feet were polished very smoothly, faintly carved with intricate patterns. Although I had yet to see the overall structure, I could already feel its grandeur and solemnity.
"Okay, be careful," Yang Bin nodded at me and called the remaining "people" to set off in search of Light Slots.
Upon arriving here, I wasn't in a hurry to move on; I needed to understand where we were and what this place was hiding in terms of clues.
My dad knew much more about the situation than I did, so blindly rushing around looking for him was clearly the most foolish approach. Therefore, gathering clues and analyzing where they were most likely to go was the way to go. This was far more effective than stumbling around aimlessly; after all, luck wouldn't always be on our side.
While Yang Bin and the others searched for Light Slots, I didn't remain idle. I strolled over to a stone pillar nearby. The pillar was enormous; judging by its thickness, it would take two adults holding hands to embrace it. The patterns carved on it were still quite strange—some circular, some ring-like, and others resembling branches.
With my current experience, I couldn't decipher them, but since they were carved in this place, they must have significant meaning! So I made sure to remember everything I saw and thought about checking some materials or asking Lime and the others later!
Just as I was thinking this, a figure floated over, and I heard Yang Bin say, "Feng Xiao Ge, we've found a Light Slot, but it seems something is preventing us from lighting it."
"Oh, then let's forget about it." I had initially planned to examine the overall structure here and decide on a direction carefully. Since that wasn't possible now, I decided to check how many exits there were before making a decision. So I looked at the other three pillars and asked Yang Bin and the others to pay attention to see if there were any signs or remnants left by people. Time passed slowly like this until we finally discovered an unusual place!
“Feng Xiao Ge, it's right ahead!”
I quickly followed Yang Bin to the place they pointed out. This location wasn't found by Yang Bin; it was discovered by someone else... um, I can't quite remember that person's name, but he was the first to notice it and informed us immediately.
Indeed, having ghosts around has its advantages. Although I occasionally get startled when they suddenly appear, I eventually got used to it...
After a minute or two, I arrived at the unusual location. Tall stone pillars flanked me on both sides as I walked down the center. I couldn't help but frown; there were numerous bloodstains and bullet casings on the ground, and bloody handprints marked the pillars. I touched one, and it had already dried completely, indicating that a gunfight had occurred here recently!
Looking towards the front of the pillars, there was a dark entrance—square-shaped, without a door—but when light shone inside, it seemed to be completely absorbed, leaving it pitch black and impossible to see anything. The closer I got to that entrance, the more I could feel the cold air blowing out from within; it was chillingly eerie.
As one of the founders of The League of Shadows, although we all cooperated with each other, I couldn't let my brothers take risks while I stood there looking cowardly. So, gritting my teeth, I steeled myself and stepped inside first, also gathering some people including Yang Bin for safety's sake!
The first reaction upon entering was cold—cold—cold!
Winter hadn't left yet, and it was already cold outside; not to mention this underground place that never saw sunlight! I tightened my collar around my neck and walked carefully while observing my surroundings. Those who hadn’t entered with me followed silently behind, their presence only marked by the sound of my footsteps.
This was a narrow Passageway, just like the entrance—surrounded by straight walls as if walking inside a rectangular box. A suffocating atmosphere pervaded the area; the Yin Qi was heavy, perhaps due to its age, accompanied by a musty odor.
In the corners grew some sparse weeds. When light hit the wall, a bloody handprint appeared before my eyes. I knew there would be many such bloodstains on the wall; thankfully, I decided not to look further—it was too unsettling! I'm not someone who seeks out thrills for no reason...
After walking for about two minutes, I finally saw an exit. The reason I called it an exit was that there were no weeds on the ground nearby! Just as I excitedly moved forward, suddenly, “click click click” sounded several gun chambers being loaded beside me. Immediately after, several shiny handguns appeared on either side of my head!
“What do you want?” I stood frozen in place as Eyeballs darted back and forth between the armed individuals on both sides. Just then, a beam of light hit my face; instinctively squinting my eyes, I raised my hand to shield them.
"Yo, isn't this the elusive Pretty Boy? Long time no see~" A very frivolous voice came from the other side of the light. As soon as I heard it, I knew who these people were, especially that term "Pretty Boy," which made me want to take off my shoe and slap him in the face.
"Better not see you, Dead Bird Man!" I lowered my hand. At this moment, the light was no longer shining directly on my face, and the people on both sides did not lower their guns just because they recognized my identity. In fact, I wasn't even afraid of them shooting me anymore. After all, having spent some time together, if they were really that impulsive, I would have been dead long ago.
However, elusive? Well, it seems that's indeed the case now. I guess this shows he had foresight; after all, I really am elusive now!
I saw a burly man stride up to me, spitting a few words and glaring at me fiercely as he threatened, "You Pretty Boy don't want to live anymore?"
"Well, I don't want to die either." The newcomer was Evil Bird. I'm quite familiar with his personality; when dealing with someone like him, you mustn't show weakness or you'll get verbally assaulted. But if you annoy him, be prepared for a fight.
Evil Bird sneered twice and grabbed my collar, pulling me forward. I could even see the expressions of the few "people" beside us, unable to suppress their reactions. Oh dear, this birdman is still as rough as ever!
