With the torches providing light, the previously eerie and terrifying staircase felt much more bearable, of course, provided no oheir imagination run wild. They carefully avoided the areas where colpses had occurred, and the Fatty pressed his entire body against the wall, ing along by feeling the wall with his hands, fearful of falling. This made Jiang g, alking in front of him and pnning to follow the same path, feel very invenienced.
He turned around and whispered a few words into the Fatty's ear.
The sed, the Fatty’s massive frame suddenly jerked away from the wall, his hair almost standing on end, staring at the wall as though it were some sort of monster.
“Stop toug it,” Jiang g whispered, “You might wake something up from the wall.”
Based on previous observations and his sense of touch, Jiang g deduced that there were some obscure patterns engraved on the wall o the staircase, invisible to the eye, but detectable by touch.
The craftsmanship seemed simir to the first stone door.
It must have been made by the same group of craftsmen.
The image of the eerie, strange beast immediately fshed ity's mind. He swallowed involuntarily, w if such a creature was recorded in the Shan Hai Jing (Cssiountains and Seas).
TL/N: The Cssiountains and Seas, also known as Shanhai jing, formerly romanized as the Shan-hai g, is a ese cssic text and a pition of mythic geography as.
The loli girl and the tall man walked at the back, holding their torches low so that they could clearly see the stairs below.
The Fatty had climbed halfway and was about to take a break when he gnced back.
The loli girl and the man had fallen about 10 meters behind, walking slowly, almost carelessly.
The Fatty thought to himself that they were quite bold. If it were him, he wouldn’t dare to stray so far from the main group.
Jiang g, leaning against the wall, also seemed to be resting, though his chest was steady, and his face wasn’t flushed or sweaty.
But when the young master turned around and looked at him, Jiang g suddenly ged.
He started coughing, then gasped for breath, his face flushed and looking like he was about to colpse.
The Fatty: "..."
The young master, holding a torch, his face illuminated by the firelight, revealed an unreadable smile. “Brother Hao,” he said, ed, “It seems like your body needs more exercise.”
Jiang g, gasping for air, waved his hand, shaking his head, causing the Fatty to almost feel embarrassed on his behalf.
Finally, Jiang g cleared his throat and, with a voice weak from exhaustion, said, “Brother , you don’t uand. I’m not like you guys. I ged into this nightmare through my work,” he patted his waist, pushing forward, tilting his head. “So I’m really tired.”
Upon seeing Jiang g's a, the Fatty furrowed his brow and suddenly felt a bad premonition.
The young master seemed to have not uood Jiang g’s expnation, and after a few seds, he asked with fusion, “You dider the nightmare in a dream?”
“Yeah.”
“Then how...”
“My work is different from yours,” Jiang g said, supp his waist and stretg in a casual manner, “I make money while lying down.”
“Lying down?” The young master was stuhen scrutinized Jiang g from head to toe for a while, clearly reag the peak of his curiosity about Jiang g.
Just as Jiang g squinted his eyes, slightly opening his mouth and waiting for him to ask that question so he could show off, the Fatty suddenly came over, impatiently urging, “Let’s go, this pce is unsafe.”
“Hmm,” the young master hen g Jiang g o time before turning around and walking off.
The Fatty, looking at the frustrated Jiang g, said, “Let’s go too.”
Without waiting for Jiang g’s response, he walked ahead.
Standing before the sed stone door, feeling the warmth and light seeping from the small gap, everyone finally felt a sense of relief.
The rock-climbing girl, who had been inspicuous the whole time, was the first to ehe room.
Just as Jiang g was about to take his revenge oty, pnning to torment him a bit before shoving him through the dap, a sudden cry came from ihe room.
It was the rock-climbing girl.
Jiang g paused for a moment, then immediately pulled the Fatty, who was already he door, behind him.
The Fatty, thrown off bance, gained a deeper uanding of the doctor’s strength.
Jiang g and the young master both stepped back from the stone door, her of them intending to go in. The two of them, supp each other, showed incredible tacit uanding.
The scream inside only rang out once before it stopped.
Somethi off.
The young master lowered his void asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine… I’m fihe rock-climbing girl’s voice came again, but it sourange, as if her voice was trembling.
She was scared.
But more than fear, it felt like she had discovered something inprehensible.
“e in and take a look, they’re gohe rock-climbing girl’s voice came again.
No oside moved, and everyoheir breath, almost hoping they could stop breathing altogether.
It seemed like the rock-climbing girl’s voice was moving.
After a long pause, Jiang g suddenly spoke, “Miss Yin, what did you see when you were with me earlier?”
The sounds of movement inside abruptly stopped.
Jiang g and the young master both stepped back. The tter even g the stairs behind them, as though looking for a way out.
The sed, footsteps quickly approached the door, and before anyone could react, the rock-climbing girl rushed out, showing most of her body. “e in and see!” she urged urgently, then seemed to remember something, her face showing a distressed expression as she added, “The person I was with was this gentleman, and my st name isn’t Yin. I’m human! Not…”
Ohey ehe room, they were shocked to find that the motorcycle girl and the older woman had disappeared.
This room wasn’t rge, so how could these two living people just vanish?
“Could it have been those people?” the Fatty said. “They must have snuck up while we were talking below and took them.”
“No,” the young master shook his head immediately, rejeg the idea. “There are no signs of a struggle nearby. Those two couldn’t have been taken without a rea. They wouldn’t be that careless.”
“If we rule out any supernatural events, then they likely left on their own,” the young master tinued.
“Let’s not jump to clusions. Assume they left voluntarily,” Jiang g said calmly, surveying the room. “Think about it, why would they leave?”
“They must have entered some danger a on their own,” the rock-climbing girl specuted.
This was the only possibility she could think of, as the location was ideal—easily defendable and with a f fire.
“They might have discovered somethiremely important,” Jiang g stroked his and suddenly spoke, “and then decided to go down and inform us.”
