Chapter 149 Making a Talk

On a train, Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai were looking for their seats. The two of them were currently tracking down those 'ground rats'.

With her phone in one hand and luggage in the other, Yue Jiu Nian led Yue Jiu Zai to their location: "Ugh, how annoying, we couldn't get sleeper berths, so we have to sit in hard seats."

Yue Jiuzai had already taken her seat. She said, "It's okay, as long as I can keep up with them, I'm just afraid I'll lose them."

As she spoke, she peered at the men in front of her. They only knew that those "ground rats" were going to Q City by train, but they didn't know their final destination. So they had to stick close to them, afraid of losing their "treasure".

Fortunately, those few "ground rats" also bought hard-seat tickets and were in the same carriage as Yue Jiuzai and the others, so Yue Jiuzai wasn't worried about getting lost.

"Ugh, look at this table, it's so dirty! Why didn't the previous passengers clean it up better when they left?"

Yue Jiu Nian looked at the small table in front of her with great disdain. Her seat was near the car window, so there was a small table there.

Yue Jiuzai also noticed the trash on the table. She casually tidied it up and then took it to the trash can to throw it away: "Forget it, they'll leave as soon as they get off the bus, they won't bother to clean up your trash."

As she spoke, she headed towards the toilet to wash her hands, and that's when she encountered one of the 'ground rats'.

The 'ground mouse' was by the window making a phone call and smoking. I heard him say in a low voice, "Yeah, okay, we've already set off. Don't worry, that kid's obedient. You guys can pick us up when we arrive. That's all for now, I'll hang up now."

After he hung up the phone, he continued to smoke by the window. Yue Jiuzai, after hearing what he said, guessed that there might be a lot of people going on the 'treasure hunt' this time, probably more than just the few of them. But that was good, more people meant that there might be more treasures in that place.

After Yue Jiuzai returned, he told Yue Jiunian about it. Yue Jiunian thought for a moment, then looked at the young man with death energy on his body and said, "I think I can guess why he has death energy on him. Judging from what you just heard, that person must have been controlled. And they probably brought him here to kill him, otherwise they wouldn't have said those things, and the death energy on his body wouldn't be so strong."

Yue Jiuzai understood immediately upon hearing this. She could also see how heavy the death aura was on that person. Generally, such a person would die a violent death soon and wouldn't live long.

She said, "Hmm, among those people, he was the cleanest. He's an ordinary person. Although he has an aura of death, it must be his first time being brought to the ground."

"So, why do you think they would bring an ordinary person down to the ground?"

Yue Jiu Nian turned to look ahead and asked her companion, "Could it be that he's very useful, or does he have a map or something?"

"I don't know," Yue Jiuzai said, taking out the snacks from her backpack and eating them. "Maybe. Anyway, I think he's quite pleasing to the eye, and he's looked like he's been forced into this situation ever since he got on the bus. He looks so pitiful."

"Tsk tsk, never mind, let's leave it for now. But I think if we can save him, we should. That child looks so pitiful."

Yue Jiu Nian also felt sorry for the young man, but she wouldn't rescue him at this time because she still wanted to go treasure hunting.

The 'poor little guy' they were talking about was indeed feeling miserable. He was just an ordinary college student named Jiang Yan, but for some reason, he suddenly encountered an unexpected disaster. He only knew that he was kidnapped on his way home and then threatened and brought here.

The group first fed Jiang Yan some strange insects, then told him that these were Gu worms, and that if he didn't obey, they would bite him to death inside his stomach.

Jiang Yan didn't believe it at first and tried to run away to call the police, but before he could get out, the leader who kidnapped him whistled at him, and then Jiang Yan's stomach started to hurt violently. He could also feel something in his stomach, so he was scared and obediently obeyed.

After Jiang Yan obediently complied, the kidnappers didn't bother him much. They just told him they had to take him to a place to do something, and once it was done, they would release him.

If Jiang Yan didn't cooperate, they would activate the Gu worms to kill him. They even threatened Jiang Yan, saying, "Kid, don't even think about running away. As soon as we find you're gone, we can immediately activate the Gu worms to take your life. If you don't want to live, you can try."

Jiang Yan was just an ordinary person, so of course he was scared and obediently followed those people.

"Hey kid, are you hungry? If you are, eat this, or you'll starve to death."

Jiang Yan was deep in thought when she suddenly heard a male voice beside her, and then saw a bucket of instant noodles in front of her.

Jiang Yan knew that this person was the leader who had kidnapped her, so she didn't dare to say much. She just reached out and took the instant noodles, nodded and said, "Okay."

He picked up the instant noodles and got up to get some hot water, but as he stood up, the foreman who had given him the noodles said, "Wait a minute, make one for me too."

The leader then took out another cup of instant noodles, handed it to him, and said, "Don't be gone too long."
