Chapter 37

Soon, Ah Tou reached an intersection. She flicked the lighter on and was surprised to find that there was more than one route to choose from. The tunnels below this village seemed like a groundhog's underground network since they extended out in all directions.

But she wasnt afraid of getting lost at all. Not only did each tunnel look very different to her, but she also had a photographic memory. The only problem was, she didnt know which one Liang Yanyan had been dragged into.

Ah Tou flicked her lighter on again and leaned against the tunnel wall. She was completely covered in damp mud by now. She lit a cigarette and used Liang Yanyans method to test the air flow. If it was Liang Yanyan, which way would she go?

It was a simple strategy, but she soon realized that it was wrong.

This method could only determine where Liang Yanyan wanted to go, not where the monster had dragged her to.

Ah Tou began to examine the tunnel walls, thinking that there should be some fresh scratches on the walls if something had been dragged here. As expected, she found some new traces in one of the tunnels. She headed that way and continued moving forward, but the path soon began to descend and eventually became a vertical well.

If she were a professional gangster, she wouldve immediately known after seeing this well that she had to give up because she wouldn't be able to quickly climb up if she encountered any danger at the bottom. And even if she found Liang Yanyan, she had to ensure that the two of them could climb out of the well without something pursuing them while also staying conscious and not disturbing any other monsters.

Under the present situation, it was difficult to achieve. If she rushed down and happened to startle a monster, she would have nowhere to escape to.

But Ah Tou didnt have any experience with this kind of thing, so she carefully and unhesitatingly attempted to make her way down little by little, pressing her feet up against the well walls. After about ten minutes, she finally reached the bottom.

There was a narrow room at the bottom of the well, but Ah Tou didnt immediately jump down into it. Although her feet were trembling on the well walls, she made herself listen for a while. She didnt hear any breathing sounds below, so she flicked her lighter on and inspected the room.

She immediately recognized that it was a tomb. It was a very small tomb chamber that appeared to be a modern grave. It was the kind that was used in the 1980s and made of cement.

Am I even obligated to save my bodyguard?

After thinking about it, Ah Tous desire to turn back and leave rose up. But after taking a few deep breaths, her mind went blank again and she began crawling forward.

I'm really crazy. There seemed to be a rational voice within her telling her that she was crazy, but this voice was somehow drowned out by something else.

At this time, she realized that the path in front of her was blocked. She flicked her lighter on and saw that there was a dead end in front of her.

When she took a second look, however, her hair suddenly stood on end and she immediately drew back a few steps. She found that it wasnt actually a muddy wall in front of her, but someones mud-covered back.

She immediately extinguished the lighter, leaned against the tunnel wall, and covered her mouth. After leaning there for a whileprobably about a dozen secondsshe suddenly realized that what she was leaning against was warm. She felt behind her with her hand and was surprised to find that the cave wall she was leaning against had the texture of human skin.

She touched it again and felt that the skin moved, almost as if there was a sudden muscle contraction. Ah Tou immediately flicked the lighter on, turned around, and saw that the wall she had been leaning against was moving like a snake. At this time, a hand reached down from a tunnel above her, pinched out the flame, and pulled her up to a platform.

She could feel great strength from that hand and knew right away that it was a mans hand. Ah Tou recalled what she had seen in that tenth of a second before the flame was extinguished and recognized the scar on the man's hand.

It was Black Glasses hand.

Black Glasses' feet were straddling the two sides of the fork in the tunnel above her, which was actually a well-shaped passage. As Ah Tou was pulled up and put directly on his back, she stayed silent. She was surprisingly calm given the situation, or maybe dull was a better word for it. She found that she was very dull because she couldnt even feel what she was feeling at the moment.

There was a sudden click in the silent tunnel. She thought of all the various things that could happen in the darknesssomething touching her from below or Black Glasses taking her out of herebut she didn't expect to see a light appear below her.

She looked down and saw that there was a hand with very long fingers and huge joints holding onto Liang Yanyans flashlight.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
