h their back against a shady mountain, their head resting on the shade and their feet on shaded ground, it is considered great evil. Upon discovery, living people should not approach, and masters shou...Following Red Sister's directions, I walked dozens of meters with a flashlight and found a thin plastic bag on the ground. The bag had a trademark, the kind used for instant bread on supermarket shelves.

Without turning back, I frowned and said, “Be careful, Hong Jie. There might be someone around here.”

">

Strangely, Hongjie behind me didn't reply.

"Red Sister" I turned my head.

The surrounding light is dark.

I am now completely alone, not even a shadow of Red Sister to be seen!

She's gone! She was just behind me a moment ago!

I ran around and around, getting more and more frightened. I wanted to shout Red Sister's name out loud, but I didn't dare, because I was afraid that those people were nearby. Sound carries so well in a closed space, I couldn't bring myself to scream.

So nervous that I was sweating, I kept whispering "Hong Jie" over and over.

No one has ever responded.

Suddenly, I shone a flashlight on it.

I saw that in the northwest corner, there was a person with their back to me. The figure stood still, and judging by their clothes, it looked like Red Sister.

"I almost scared myself to death, Hongjie! Why didn't you answer me"

She still stood there motionless, as if she hadn't heard me speak.

I strode up to her face and shone my flashlight on her.

Hong Jie's face was pale and her eyes were vacant, she didn't react to the flashlight at all! I shone it on her, and she didn't even blink.

"Glug....glug...."

At this moment, several bird calls suddenly came from the darkness in front of us. The calls were almost identical to what we had heard before. Red Sister even said that it might be a mountain chicken or something similar, and told me not to worry too much.

At this time, a few points of fire appeared in the darkness ahead. These lights flickered, waxing and waning, coming closer and farther away, like ghostly flames rising from hell.

I tugged on Hong Jie, instinctively taking two steps back wanting to run, but she stood very firm, and I couldn't pull her at all......

Those few points of fire were getting closer and closer to me.

Several faces gradually emerged from the darkness.

Looking at these people, I felt utterly defeated. I thought to myself that this was it, that I was doomed here, and our entire team was going to be wiped out.

There were five people on the other side, three of whom were holding three burning torches.

A young boy with pigtails, a tall middle-aged man named Jian Ge (劍哥), Chen Jian Sheng, and two others, a man and a woman, whom I didn't know.

Xiao Zhu's head was bowed with her hands behind her back, her face expressionless.

Then Chen Jian-sheng held a torch, with a smile on his lips, staring at me like he was looking at a pet.

The woman was tall and dressed in black. Her eyes were a pale yellow, but what drew the most attention was the untethered pure white owl standing on her left shoulder.

The owl's pupils are a pale yellow vertical line.

A woman's eyes are very similar to those of an owl.

I met her gaze and felt a shiver run down my spine. Her eyes were too cold.

Chen Jian-sheng held a torch and smiled at me, saying: "You kid are pretty capable. We underestimated you before. You were actually able to escape from the snake pit. At such a young age, you still have some skills. It's not for nothing that we went to so much trouble to catch you."

"

"

Looking at Chen Jian-sheng, I took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong with Hongjie What's going on with you all How did you find me"

">

"Hoo..." A low hoot came from the owl perched on the woman with yellow eyes' shoulder.

When Hong Jie heard the beast's roar, her body actually moved!he newspaper and looked at me and Douzi with a puzzled expression, "You are...""We are your daughter's colleague and have something work-related we'd like to ask her.""> " Let me know if you have any...
