Book 1: Chapter 157

My first thought was that it was dangerous. I didnt really care what the calling spring tended to spray out since it wasnt something I could handle anyways. But according to Liu Sang, the poisonous gas came out of the calling spring a few days after it thundered. If Boss Jiao didnt learn about it by listening to the thunder and just knew that it would happen a few days after it thundered, then Xiao Hua and his men entering the calling springwhether the entrance was real or fakewould still be a great victory to him. As a result, Boss Jiao's tactics were very clear.

It had just thundered a few days ago, so Fatty and the others were in a very dangerous situation right now.

My second thought was: What happened to Poker-Face and Black Glasses? Did Uncle Two and Xiao Hua know anything about the calling spring spraying out poisonous gas? My hands were shaking a little. Uncle Two always had a very clear attitude and was very pessimistic, so I didnt think he needed to lie to me about such a major event. But after carefully thinking about it, I realized that he really would have a reason to lie to me if he was sure that those two couldnt survive.

And he would do it so that I could gradually accept the reality of the situation.

In other words, his statement that the water wouldnt recede was false. The truth was that the calling spring probably contained extremely poisonous gas and the two of them would die.

But the premise and implications revolving around this theory were terrible.

Uncle Two knew that those two people were dead. Not only did he not tell me, but he also didn't tell Xiao Hua, the one staging the rescue operation. He shouldve at least told Xiao Hua about the poisonous gas since Xiao Hua would bring a lot of people and resources with him.

If Uncle Two didn't say it then he either didn't know about it or he wanted to kill Xiao Hua.

My hands were shaking very badly now. I was certain that Uncle Two didnt know about the poisonous gas, but for some reason, I felt a trace of uneasiness in my heart.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Something was wrong. The way Uncle Two and Xiao Hua had been acting during this whole thing gave rise to a vague feeling that made me very uncomfortable. I just couldnt seem to put my finger on it.

Liu Sang continued talking, but I motioned for him to stop for a second so that I could calm down. Although my mind seemed to balk at it, I still wanted to push in that terrifying direction. If there was even a one in ten thousand chance that Uncle Two wanted to kill Xiao Hua, then what was the motive?

But I only thought as far as one step in that direction before I suddenly remembered a previous question I had: Why would experts like Black Glasses and Poker-Face have an accident?

I stood up and began recalling the source of the whole thing: a text message that pointed to Uncle Three.

After that, my prestige was gone, I became useless, Wushanju was taken away, and Poker-Face and Black Glasses were said to be dead. Xiao Hua almost died, half of the best people in Beijing had died underground, and now Fatty was in the calling spring. If I didnt tell him about the poisonous gas, he'd fucking die.

From beginning to end, this whole thing was a lie.

The second story:

You could really get information by listening to thunder. Uncle Three was investigating the secret to listening to thunder, but was facing a huge threat. This threat was so huge that Uncle Two couldnt confront him head-on and had to hide Poker-Face and Black Glasses first. He then spread the news of their fake deaths and used the rescue efforts as a way to block the entrance to Thunder City. Xiao Hua was just a piece on the game board, while Black Glasses and Poker-Face may have already entered Thunder City.

Uncle Two gave me a chance to participate in the whole plan, but I didn't seize the opportunity. I was only paying attention to the first layer of information during the whole process and didn't see the second layer behind it. As a result, I was out.

Whatever the reason, I was more inclined to believe the latter possibility. This was because I started to recall a lot of incredible detailsall of which were hints Uncle Two had given meand realized that he had been waiting for me to understand.

My expression must have been very ugly, because Kan Jian gave me a look.

My eyes kept twitching and my mind couldnt stop at all as several faces began to appear in my mind. There had to be some problems somewhere among them:

Hong Ding Shuixian.

That message Black Glasses gave to the tulou waiter.

There was also that time when I bought the sea porcelain. They had said that the sunken ship off the coast was completely salvaged overnight.

Uncle Two was the only one who could do it on the island.

Moreover, the Bai family who worked in Warehouse Eleven were all excellent swimmers.

The South Sea Kings tomb, the underground water system stretching all across China, the legendary Falling Cloud Country, listening to thunder, the offshore shipwreck, and the Bai family of Warehouse Eleven.

It was all part of a huge game, and I had been left far behind on the periphery.
