"Not afraid of death, but afraid of the consequences of betrayal, it seems he is a ruthless person."

"There are actually not many truly ruthless people in our base."

"Chen, Wang, Zhao, Sun..."

"These surnames, right?"

Lu Yuan spoke slowly, constantly observing the expressions of the two people. When he mentioned Wang and Sun, their pupils slightly changed.

But it can’t be judged that it’s someone with the surname Wang or Sun, there’s also the possibility that they intentionally revealed a flaw to mislead the investigative direction.

The two instructors were sent back to the car, soaked and covered to dry, thus both caught a cold.

Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan climbed Yuanshi Mountain once again, this time heading straight for the stone table at the pavilion on the summit.

Last time, the two had already discovered that the number of holes on the stone table matched the number of keys.

They inserted keys into each hole on the stone table surface, but could not turn them at all.

Little Taotie scratched his head: "Why can’t they turn?"

"Maybe there’s an order to turn the keys too," Hua Jinyan began to study the area around each hole.

Little Taotie wanted to help as well, but after looking for a long time, he couldn’t see any difference, and his eyes almost crossed as he sat on the stone bench in resignation.

Seeing she had lost patience, Hua Jinyan smiled and said, "You rest for a while, I’ll find it."

Little Taotie spaced out, occasionally looking up at the birds that flew by, occasionally staring at the table top for a long time.

She didn’t know how long had passed; Hua Jinyan fiddled with this key and that key. Through his relentless efforts, one of the keys could be turned, but after a few turns, it stopped.

After repeating the process many times, Hua Jinyan still maintained his patience.

Little Taotie yawned and was just about to say I’m going to take a nap, when she heard a "click" sound, and all the keys could be turned. After turning the keys, the table surface surprisingly rotated.

After the table surface rotated, a passage appeared underneath.

Little Taotie wanted to go down to see what was going on, but was stopped by Hua Jinyan.

Hua Jinyan shined a flashlight into the depths below, but it was too deep and dark to see the bottom.

Little Taotie picked up a small stone and threw it down, listening carefully.

She waited for quite a while, but no sound came back.

Little Taotie opened her mouth in surprise, innocently: "It’s so deep, not a sound can be heard."

Hua Jinyan said solemnly: "It’s too dangerous, we can’t go down recklessly."

Little Taotie’s eyes darted around, and she said, "Then let’s go back first and think of a way."

While Hua Jinyan was preparing to pull out the keys, Little Taotie suddenly jumped into the passage.

There was a slide-like setup at the entrance of the passage, so even though it was very deep, sliding down only took a short moment to reach the bottom.

Hua Jinyan didn’t expect Little Taotie to divert his attention and then suddenly jump down the passage.

Since Little Taotie had already gone down, Hua Jinyan couldn’t just stay above alone.

He called out to Lu Yuan, who was hiding in the dark: "In two hours, if we haven’t come up, find a way to save us."

He was worried there might be no signal below, and then they’d be trapped without any help.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was not assured: "You also want to go down?"

"I can’t let her take the risk down there alone."

"This is a signal amplifier; as long as there’s even a trace of signal below, we’ll be able to contact each other."

Hua Jinyan took it, "Thank you."

Hua Jinyan did not delay any longer, directly jumped into the passage, the slide was very fast, and in a minute or so, he had reached the bottom.

Fortunately, Little Taotie hadn’t gone far and was currently looking at a mural.

Hua Jinyan walked over quietly and looked at the painting.
