In fact, it was Chen Qinghan who saw that Mike was particularly concerned about me, so he sent me to play the emotional card.

Sure enough, seeing that I insisted on going with him, Chen Qinghan ignored him, and Mike hesitated.

Chen Qinghan did what he said, regardless of Mike and I, he continued to retreat with Dr. Du and Huang Zaijiang.

Mike had no choice but to stop and persuade me to go back. I had something to do with him, saying that it was impossible for him to expect Chen Qinghan to send someone else to the city center with him. Even if Chen Qinghan agreed to Mike to go to the light source area to find out, he would send me there.

"I don't understand, he treats you like this, are you really unmarried couples?"

"Yes~" P! Of course it's fake. I answered with my mouth and rolled my eyes in my heart.

"He sends you to risk every time."

"This can also be understood as if he trusts me and he feels at ease when I do my business."

"You are a silly girl, just like my daughter."

"Oh, I don't know if you have heard it. It's like a person knows the warmth and coldness of water. OK, I have decided to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. Let's get on the road quickly."

"No, I can't let you take risks."

Mike shook his head, and the inner struggle could be seen from his expression. He looked at the light source in the city center, then at Chen Qinghan who had left and lost his shadow, gritted his teeth: "Go, leave this first."

He turned around to chase Chen Qinghan, and only chased him one street and caught up because Chen Qinghan and the others walked slower than snails.

Mike said that Chen Qinghan was "despicable". He probably saw that Chen Qinghan was playing the emotional card, but he had no choice. He could die alone or pull others, but he couldn't take me to die.

Although Mike was dissatisfied with what Chen Qinghan did, he had to compromise now, either evacuate with us or take me to die.

It is almost impossible to have one person trust the intuition of another person and be someone he just met.

Mike said nothing on the way, but when he walked back to the secret passage, he suddenly stopped and stared at somewhere.

Assuming that the shadows that monitor Gu Xiao Ge are evil spirits, their activity areas are not limited to the city center, but are spread all over every corner of the ancient city.

Mike stopped and looked at the location where he was a place under the wall behind our left rear.

"What are you looking at?" Huang Zaijiang was the most curious. As soon as he noticed Mike's abnormal behavior, he immediately asked.

"Just..." Mike hesitated, paused, and said, "It seemed like someone was squatting just now."

"Ah?!" Huang Zaijiang walked behind Mike, and they walked one after another, and then on the same side. He could also see what Mike saw.

But his current surprised expression shows that he didn't see it. He was behind Mike. If there was someone under the wall, he should see it clearly than Mike.

Of course, Mike said it was just now, which means there is no more now.

The secret thought was so narrow that we and our group had already filled the space. If someone really squatted by the wall, they wouldn't have to look at it, and they could kick it with their legs raised when walking.

Huang Zaijiang said the same thing, but Mike said that the person he saw was squatting in the wall.

Who can get into the wall? Dr. Du asked if it was the kind of black shadow that Brother Gu mentioned.

Mike said no. If it was just a shadow, he might not be able to see clearly, because the light column of flashlight can only illuminate the front, left and right, especially the area behind him, all hidden in the darkness. If he squatted in the darkness, no matter how good his eyesight is, he would not be a night vision, and he would not be able to see clearly.

Huang Zaijiang's arm was inconvenient. Chen Qinghan, who was originally walking at the front of the team, turned back and walked to the place where Mike said to check it.

There is nothing unusual about the walls there, unlike the ancient tombs where there are murals, stone sculptures, and tomb robbers who misjudged the paintings or sculptures under the light and shadow into human figures.

I heard that old tomb robbers use these things as jokes, which are all embarrassing things for novices.

But there was nothing wrong with the wall Mike said, and Mike's expression was extremely difficult.

"I have hallucinations again," he said in a daze.

"That's not necessarily. There are so many strange things in this ancient city, and it may not be possible that there will be no one who can hide in the wall." I always feel that Mike has no hallucinations. Like Huang Zaijiang, he is both ordinary people. Last time he led the team in, but he was attacked collectively. If he really had hallucinations, why didn't Huang Zaijiang and Dr. Du?

"Do you describe the person you see," said Chen Qinghan.

"I am an adult man, and the five views are more three-dimensional." Mike recalled and described it, sometimes adding details to the next sentence.

After listening to this, Chen Qinghan took out Ou Chen's ID and asked Mike to see the photo above.

"It's him, it's this person!" Mike was a little excited.

After being excited, Mike looked at Chen Qinghan and me, and his expression was condensed for a moment, "You haven't come back to add the mark."

"Yes, no, we went to the wolf's den." Chen Qinghan admitted frankly.

"What did you find?" Mike's attention was successfully diverted. He no longer had hallucinations and his eyes fell on Ou Chen's ID.

"I found two backpacks, and there were two documents, one was a cowboy hat, and the other was this man. His name was Ou Chen. They were all members of a team a few years ago. In the end, they were only two of them left in the team." I didn't mention the old letter and last words, but only said that the cowboy hat and Ou Chen finally went to the city center.

"You believe what he said?" Mike calmed down. "I don't know the team you mentioned, they are definitely not ours."

The ancient city floated out on the ground a year ago, so the cowboy hat and Ou Chen came in when the ancient city was still underground.

Now that the ancient city has risen, they are all right and they are still living in the city, which is really amazing.

"We assume that he can really survive by light, then in the past few years, he will have enough time to escape. Even if he hasn't had the chance before, will he have the chance to go out after your people come in batches?" Chen Qinghan asked.

"Yes, he seems to be very familiar with the ancient city and is calm in dealing with the big mantis. If he really wants to go out, he would have found the gap under the wall where we came up long ago." Dr. Du said.

"Is it...he is restrained by that light source? Can't he go too far?" Huang Zaijiang guessed.

"If this is the case, the light source will not be harmless. Why did he instigate us to do it?" I asked casually.

Unexpectedly, my problem caused the other people to fall into silence and ponder each other. No one spoke for a while, only footsteps echoed in the secret passage.

We left the secret passage and went back to the stone house to pick up Wang Le and Gu. However, when we entered the house, we saw that there was no one in the house.

I took my backpack and equipment away, and it seemed that I was not in a hurry.

"Did you find this unsafe? They changed the place?" Huang Zaijiang looked around the empty room in wonder.

If, as he said, Wang Le should leave a mark or a ‘sMS’ and tell us where to find them.

Chen Qinghan checked both inside and outside the house, and there were no other people's footprints or animals, so Wang Le and Gu should not have encountered any accidental attacks.

"Go back to the city wall to take a look." Chen Qinghan failed to check, so he asked everyone to go to the next one to find some.

The underground traffic line is relatively safe. If Wang Le really thinks the stone house is unsafe, then the only place he can take Brother Gu to is that.

We returned to the crack under the city wall as fast as possible. The ropes that were fixed before were still there. When we came up, we didn't know the return time, so we didn't remove them and took them away, so we kept them for easy evacuation.

Chen Qinghan made a mark before leaving. If someone moved the rope, he would find that the rope is the same as when we were walking, and no one had moved it, which means that Wang Le and Gu did not come back.

"Tsk, strange, where will these two people go?" Huang Zaijiang was a little anxious. He had the best relationship with Wang Le. Now that Wang Le is missing for no reason, he was so anxious that he sucked his teeth.

"Look again." Chen Qinghan got up first and walked back, "Go to the stone house to find clues."

If the idea is right, it will be twice the result with half the effort; if the idea is wrong, it will be twice the result with half the effort. We thought that Wang Le and Gu would hide back to the underground transportation line, so we came back to find someone directly, and we had never looked for it in the area around the stone house.

Now I have to go back and start looking for clues again. Mike started to talk again, doubting that Wang Le and Gu had hallucinations, and maybe where they followed the hallucinations.

I still don’t agree with his idea. They are all ordinary people and are all in the ancient city. They want to have hallucinations, and everyone is together.

However, after hearing his words, Chen Qinghan seemed to have another idea. After pondering for a moment, he said, "It's not necessarily an illusion. How did we climb up the stone tower?"

Huang Zaijiang immediately answered: "That foreigner called us."

Chen Qinghan stopped talking and left time for us to think about it. Huang Zaijiang's eyes turned around and thought for a while and said, "Someone called them both away?"

Dr. Du retorted: "They don't know anyone in the ancient city. Besides, even if someone calls us, they will leave a mark to notify us before leaving, otherwise they will be kidnapped."

Huang Zaijiang shook his head: "There are no signs of fighting in the room. The captain has also identified footprints. There are no signs of outsiders entering the stone house. Who will they follow?"

I was too lazy to reason and said whatever I thought of, "Where do they know us? If they follow us, there is no need to leave a mark."

"Yes, it must be hallucinations, and the hallucinations they see are us," Mike said.

"Where will the hallucinations take them? If their hallucinations are us, where will they go?" Huang Zaijiang looked at the rope that no one had moved, "Don't he come back here?"

Chen Qinghan looked up at the city center at this time, and Huang Zaijiang immediately understood, "Yes, it might be that he would pick them up to the city center. If the hallucination tells them, it would be safe..."

Xiaohong went to chase the patient, and it was also the city center. It seemed that our retreat plan was about to be finished.

Our group returned to the stone house again. Mike and Chen Qinghan looked for clues in the area outside the stone house. Because it had rained heavily, the clues might have been washed away by the rain.

But they still searched carefully. Wang Le had no tracker on him, so he could only rely on primitive means to find him.

The street was washed by rain, and there were no footprints on the street, but Chen Qinghan found half a shoeprint at the door of a house on the street.

He continued to search with the shoe prints, found more footprints in the house, and found Wang Le's kettle in the corner of the house.

The kettle is located in a very hidden place. There is a stone bench in the corner of the house. The kettle is right behind the stool, as if it was hidden on purpose.

There is still half a pot of water inside, so it is impossible to be abandoned because it is empty.

"What does this mean? Why did he hide the water?" Huang Zaijiang wondered.

He said that Wang Le is not such a stingy person. Since we saved Brother Gu, we must have water and food to eat together.

"Did he find something wrong with Brother Gu?" Huang Zaijiang believed in his teammates more, so he naturally suspected that the direction of Brother Gu he had just met.

"Maybe it was affected by hallucinations," Mike said.

From the room where Chen Qinghan found footprints, you can directly see the light in the city center. In other words, Wang Le and Gu are indeed moving towards the city center.

And before the heavy rain came, Chen Qinghan checked half of the footprints at the door, and the other half was diluted by the rain.

This footprint was left before it rained, and there was a road at the door of the house leading to the center of "Light".

But the more obvious the clues were, the more serious Chen Qinghan looked. He said that the "people" in the city were trying every means to pull us to the light source.
