“Advisor, let us come with you. Let’s go together,” said the crowd.
“Just stay here. No need to follow us.” The uncle said indifferently, “It’s dangerous down there.”
“No, Advisor, we must be with you.”
“Your choice,” said the uncle indifferently.
The crowd had learned from Ning Shu. Each of them went to the courtyard and took a wooden stick.
The uncle took the lead and headed down, followed by Lu Shanshan.
“You be careful,” said Zhang Jiasen to Ning Shu before stepping down the stairs.
Ning Shu: …
Look at him, acting like he cared so much about her.
795 turned on his phone’s flashlight and walked down.
Ning Shu tightly gripped the wooden stick in one hand and took the flashlight in the other. As she walked into the hole, she said to the nervous club members, “Follow quickly.”
One by one, the whole group went down the passage, leaving an empty house. The snow fell heavily amid the whistling gale, as if to flood the entire place.
Ning Shu was holding the flashlight in her mouth now. One of her hands was holding onto 795’s shirt as he walked in front of her, and one hand was clutching the wooden stick.
The staircase was very complex, and it was packed with passages. There was no way to know where these passages led, so it was easy to get lost.
And there were all kinds of mechanisms in the passage. A little slip in focus would cause their deaths. As they walked ahead, the people behind them might disappear.
They could fall into a trap without a moment’s notice.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but it felt like someone was spying on them.
The group’s atmosphere was gloomy, and there were even small sobs.
Ning Shu’s palms were sweating as she turned toward 795 and said, “I feel like someone is messing with us.”
Just as her words fell, a poof was heard. Ning Shu looked back and saw that the ground had suddenly revealed a sharpened iron bar. A boy was just taking a step when this thing appeared at the bottom of his other foot.
It went straight through to his head from below, and the other end of the iron rod came out of his mouth.
“Ah…”
Some people couldn’t bear the gruesome scene. They covered their heads and screamed uncontrollably in fear.
The uncle walking in front drew the gun at his waist. He narrowed his eyes and fired a burst at the wall. He then quickened his pace.
The people behind had to trot, but for the time being, there were no more casualties.
It felt like an inescapable net was surrounding them, as if there were cameras everywhere.
The uncle kept the gun in his hand. After every few steps, he would fire a few shots, but no bullets left the muzzle.
Ning Shu released her spiritual consciousness, but it wasn’t strong. She had no choice but to make do with just scanning her surroundings to see if there were any mechanisms and traps underground.
Ning Shu looked at the uncle walking in front. He seemed to know his way around this place as he went straight in one direction without any hesitation.
Zhang Jiasen touched the bouncing stone in his pocket. He tightly pursed his lips and looked at the uncle leading the way.
Ning Shu did not know how long they had walked and how many detours they had taken. However, the road in front was widening, and there was a piercing bright light.
Ning Shu squinted and adapted to the light at the cave entrance.
She saw a lofty building with strange drawings carved on giant pillars. It had a square sacrificial platform in the middle and a pillar on which a round crystal was placed.
The stone was colorful and unusually gorgeous.
“This is good stuff, really good stuff.” 795’s breathing was so rapid that he couldn’t help but move two steps forward.
Zhang Jiasen touched the stone that was pulsating more and more in his pocket. His eyes were deep and profound.
Ning Shu asked 795, “What is this?”
795 whispered, “In the countless realms, there are three thousand great laws. However, something always escapes the control of the heavenly laws. It’s not troubled by karma and is able to circumvent karmic sins.”
“Get to the point?” He was saying a bunch of things that weren’t understandable at all.
