C55

I never thought that David would actually disappear mysteriously like Ji Xiang, and at that moment, I almost collapsed. I felt my vital energy and blood rush to my head and my entire body was trembling, I almost fell to the ground.

This chain of bizarre events pounced on me layer by layer. I was unable to bear such torture. The emotions in my heart had already reached the breaking point and I really wanted to scream out loud to vent the pressure in my heart.

Hai Yang supported my tottering body and asked, "What happened to you?"

I swallowed my saliva, and weakly raised my arm to point at the corner where David had hidden himself: "He's gone!"

Zhu Yingqiong and Hai Yang's expression changed greatly at the same time, and they all turned to look at a corner, only to see that it was already empty. Let alone David's traces, even the tied up body had also disappeared without a trace.

I don't want to know how they disappeared anymore, because the pressure and fear in this room had already tormented me to the point that I couldn't even begin to speak. First Ji Xiang, then David, then who would it be next?

Me?

The sea?

Or Zhu Yingqiong?

Was this a devouring room? A person would be swallowed without even making a sound? If that's really the case, then why should we chase after this unexplainable mysterious power, and wait for our deaths instead?

My emotions had broken down and I was filled with fear. I started jumping up and down, knocking hard against the stone walls, knocking hard against the iron gates, and shouting at the top of my lungs, as if that was the only way to release the anxiety and fear I felt.

Hai Yang tightly gripped the hunting rifle and continued to smoke one cigarette after another. Her face was ashen.

Zhu Yingqiong was obviously very calm. She squatted down to check the place where David disappeared from, although she had an astonished expression on her face, she was clearly more calm than us. This might have something to do with the environment that she grew up in.

After a long period of time, I finally felt a lot more relaxed. I gradually calmed down and my eyes reddened as I stared at the surroundings of the room. I wanted to see if there really was an invisible person secretly controlling everything.

Hai Yang silently untied her shoelaces and tied them onto my hands, then tied them onto Zhu Yingqiong's hands. No one asked him why he did this, but he said that she did it to herself, to prevent others from suddenly disappearing again, so she could sense it in advance.

But I think it's a lot to do. If there's a mysterious force manipulating us, it's secondary that we're not tied up. Maybe this mysterious force is a ghost, but we can't see him at all as he stands there beside us, grinning at us like a clown, and we're unmoved.

Zhu Yingqiong sat cross legged in dejection, as though she was talking to herself, or forcefully explaining the details of David's disappearance to us.

She said that there were no traces of movement on the ground and it was possible that David had not woken up after fainting. Furthermore, David was tied up with a rope, which meant that it was impossible for him to walk and disappear on his own accord.

None of us picked up her words, our faces were all pale white, and we had nothing to say. We could only sit in place quietly, and I started to slowly think back to the situation where Ji Xiang and her had disappeared.

When Ji Xiang disappeared, we were still searching for an extra person in the room. At that time, no one's attention was on Ji Xiang, and only when we reacted did we realise that Ji Xiang had disappeared.

After we tied him up, he had been in a coma the entire time. The three of us didn't pay any attention to him because we had also gotten rid of our security situation, and it was during this time that he mysteriously disappeared.

Does the disappearance of mystery have something to do with our attention?

As long as a person was isolated from others, no one would pay attention to his or her movements. Would he or she mysteriously disappear?

This was too illogical. If there really was a ghost secretly manipulating everything, why would he care about who didn't notice who?

I started to let my mind wander, and my soul wander as I thought about a lot of things that happened at home. I still had not signed and received the express delivery, I still hadn't left any incense for Chen Family, my jade shop and the salaries of my employees hadn't been paid, and I hadn't even made a trip to the capital in my lifetime. There was still a lot of unfinished business in my life, so much that I simply couldn't count it.

Back then, at Fourth Uncle's home, he told me not to look at that number password, and that after I look at it, I would be trapped in it forever. If only I could reverse the flow of time, then how good would it be if I didn't look at that number password.

I should still be at home playing games, picking up girls in the bar, or clearing the books in the shop, but it's too late to regret it now, and I know I'm in too deep a trap, too many mysteries are filling my head, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find out even if I die.

It was unknown how much time passed for the three of us in silence. Half an hour? An hour? Even three hours later, when I heard a gurgling sound coming from my side, my emotions slowly recovered.

Hai Yang blushed a little as she patted her belly and said, "I've been tormenting myself. I'm really hungry now!"

I took all the food out of my backpack, put the cans aside, put the compressed vacuum vegetables aside, and took out the smokeless stove and the specially prepared folding pan. After lighting the smokeless stove, I began to pour all the cans and vegetables into it.

Zhu Yingqiong grabbed my hand: "Chen San, what are you doing? What's the point of eating after eating us all? "

I helplessly looked at her and said with a pale face, "Do you think there will be a future? While everyone else is still alive, let's eat our fill. I don't want to be a hungry ghost. "

"Anyway, there's no point in continuing to eat after all this time. I don't care about him at all!"

Hai Yang used a disposable chopstick to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. As she chattered, the steaming smell of the canned meat had aroused the gluttony in our stomachs. We started to eat like crazy, not caring in the least.

Hai hai took out half a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, who brought along with him, and waved at Zhu Yingqiong: "Big sis, previously I called you Fake Foreigner because you were related to Charles. Now that we have reached this step, even if we die, we can still go to the underworld together.

Zhu Yingqiong knew that Hai Yang was a straightforward person, furthermore, she was extremely stubborn. Although she was wrong, she wouldn't admit it wrong, and instead wanted to find the wrong person to decorate herself with. Hearing Hai Yang's words, Zhu Yingqiong laughed lightly and nodded, forgiving Hai Yang.

I snatched the last mouthful of wine from Hai Shui's hands and drank it all in one gulp. Without saying a word, I laid down on the ground, feeling the coldness of the floor, the despair in my heart had already disappeared, and I no longer held any hope of leaving. Right now, I only hope that the old man and Fourth Uncle are fine and can leave the Wild Mountain safely.

This was the first time I came to the Wild Mountain with this kind of emotion. As I listened to Zhu Yingqiong and the sea boasting about their past history of digging gold, I slowly closed my eyes.

I don't have any fear anymore. I don't care if everyone disappears after I wake up. Anyway, the final destination is death. At worst, we can reunite on the Road to River Styx just as the sea said.

However, this time, I slept for quite a few hours. When I woke up, I discovered that my entire Fort House was completely dark. I didn't even know if I was still in my Fort House.

I touched the stone wall, then slowly stood up and felt the flashlight from my waist. The moment the light was released, I saw the familiar stone wall, saw who was near me in the ocean, and also saw Zhu Yingqiong standing beside the iron gate. No one had disappeared, and no one was dead yet.

Zhu Yingqiong seemed to still have not given up, as she stood behind the iron gate the entire time, trying to think of ways to open the gate, but after such a long time, she still did not open the gate, which meant that there was still no progress.

"You're awake?"

Zhu Yingqiong asked, and then said: "Come and take a look."

I took a deep breath and asked listlessly, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Yingqiong pointed to the gaps in the metal door and said: "Look, there's another lock outside. Someone did indeed lock the door intentionally, and was even afraid that we might crash our way out and add another lock on it."

I smiled, "It's possible for Duan Hui. He can't get out anyway, it's the same even if he had ten locks on him."

However, Zhu Yingqiong shook her head: "That's not what I mean. What I want to say is that outside of the door, there are people who have been monitoring our every move.

Zhu Yingqiong suddenly turned around and pointed to another corner. That was the location of the air vent on the stone wall, and a head-sized box had actually appeared at the bottom of the air vent.

Zhu Yingqiong opened the box. Immediately, I saw that it was filled with compressed biscuits, mineral water and hard steamed buns. "Where did it come from?"

Zhu Yingqiong said: "When all of you were asleep, I saw the box being thrown in through the air vent, and then the sound of footsteps as they left. I asked a few times but no one spoke."

A peculiar emotion suddenly arose in my heart. "You're saying that someone intentionally sent food to us?"

Zhu Yingqiong nodded her head: "This person has locked us up here, but doesn't want us to die. His goal is to imprison us."

I was speechless. The three of us don't have anything valuable on us, nor do we have any secrets. Why would we be imprisoned?

If they were imprisoned, then was Ji Xiang and David's disappearance related to them?

However, I suddenly thought of another point. The people who imprisoned us had food, and they even knew their way around the underground. Who are they?

It was impossible for them to be Hu Guangzu and Duan Hui. After all, Hu Guangzu was previously a member of Zhenyuan company, so it was impossible for him to know everything.

I suddenly thought of the Japanese, could it be that there are still living Sakyamuni Army in here?

Wait!

The Drilling Team Two from 1976 might not have disappeared, but it's a situation where it encountered us, and it's also been imprisoned?

What was the point of imprisonment?
