Book 1: Chapter 207

They had finally caught up to us. The time we had gambled for was reduced to a mere five-hour advantage in the face of their strength. Only five hours. I didnt know which tower they came down from, but all four towers would eventually lead here.

Moreover, I had no idea if the people waiting above had been discovered.

I knew this moment would eventually come, but I actually felt a little relieved now that Boss Jiao had caught up. I couldnt help thinking that this place was suddenly popular, and I had the sudden urge to open a bottle of beer and wait for them to come for a barbeque.

Fatty looked up and whispered to me, "They won't be able to catch up with us for a while. Is there any way to know if Big Hua came down together with them?"

"With his personality, if he has key information in his hand that he knows is dangerous for us, then hell come down. But if he thinks that Boss Jiao is just a weakling who's waiting to be slaughtered by us, then he must be playing on his phone up top," I said.

Xiao Hua didnt know our secret code, which had me feeling a little regretful. But it wasnt like our code had a system. Even if I wanted to teach him, I could only do it by hand. But with how busy he was, it would be strange if he had time to learn it.

Fatty looked at the opposite side, pointed his flashlight over there, and then said to us, "I can go to the other side." Based on our previous analysis, there should be a huge Buddha statue on the opposite stone wall. The Buddha statue on this level probably had a structure similar to the ones on the outer pagoda, but it might not necessarily be Buddhist. The flashlight only illuminated one part of it, revealing a bit of decorative pattern that I wasnt familiar with. It appeared to be made of human skin. "Do you think it's possible for us to hide inside of these statues. Wouldn't that also be a great approach?"

"The question is: How do you get over there?"

Fatty patted his bag, I have Kan Jian's parachute. There are some big holes in it, but its enough to get me over there.

"Then how do you plan on getting back?"

Fatty patted his safety hook, "We dont have a rope, but we still have hooks. When they descend quickly, Ill jump on one of their ropes. The tower isnt that wide, so no matter where they come down from, I should be able to glide over and reach it."

Hmmm if Fatty has the parachute, seems like this "restart" didn't go as far back as some of us were thinking.
