Am I seeing things? No, it's tree roots!
"Meow!" The little prince turned to Wan'er, let out a soft meow, and suddenly leaped towards the base of the tree...
I thought I would run into the roots of this thousand-year-old tree.
But things weren't as simple as they seemed. With a "plop!" sound, as if ripples had been created on the water, the little prince was instantly swallowed by a light mist and quickly disappeared.
"Little Prince!" Wan'er was startled from her reverie, just in time to see a blue light disappear. Before she could even think, she stepped towards the tree roots.
There was nothing in front of me; my feet felt like they were walking on thin air, and my body sank in...
At this moment, Mercury and his uncle are still on the other side of the wall.
"Wan'er, why don't we go to town and ask if they have any..." When Mercury turned around, he didn't see Wan'er.
The uncle on the left front, holding a pipe, paced back and forth, seemingly deep in thought.
"Third Uncle, have you seen Wan'er?"
"Wasn't it just over there by the mud wall?" Uncle San turned around and pointed to the mud wall behind him, but there was nothing there, not even the tree stump on the ground...
"Something's weird!" Mercury instinctively jumped back, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"You! You've seen your fair share of strange things, how can you be so careless?" Seeing Mercury's exaggerated behavior, Uncle exhaled a smoke ring, reached out and tapped Mercury's left shoulder with the end of his pipe, shook his head as if he understood something, then nodded, "You've come to the right place. Think about it, if this person is a master in the illusion, his residence must not be in an ordinary environment. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to find him. Actually, we should have thought of this when we entered this place. There is an ancient wall that has appeared out of nowhere, but the road is newly built. The mud wall should have been demolished."
"And that tree from earlier, it looks like it's been fallen for a long time. But the longer it's been there, the heavier it gets. It should have knocked the wall down, but I clearly remember that the wall didn't even flinch..."
"That makes sense." Mercury nodded repeatedly after his uncle's long explanation, and somewhat embarrassed, he picked at his ear. He then walked back to his uncle, his expression gradually becoming serious. "So what do we do now? Wan'er went down, and we can't find the entrance. Will she be in danger?"
"Don't panic, let me analyze this for you. Wan'er said that she is the old man's attending physician, so there is still some respect between them, otherwise she wouldn't have given her the phone number. Although this kind of person usually puts interests first and may not care about feelings, based on this situation, they shouldn't harm her. After all, they are in business, and business people make money, so Wan'er should be fine."
"Also, I think their meaning is quite clear: they don't want us to go with them. Since that's the case, there's no use in rushing. We might as well stay here and wait and see..." Uncle looked up at the vast night and pointed to the nearby cars, "Let's sit by the cars..."
Everything was an illusion, shrouded in mystery. It seemed so close, yet so far away.
"Little Prince, be careful!" Sensing a faint blue light ahead, Wan'er hurried after it. Strangely, the two of them didn't fall; instead, they landed steadily on the ground and stood up.
This is a corridor with tiled floor and smooth walls on both sides. As you walk forward, you are illuminated by lights, and what you see in front of you is a very ordinary small building, the kind you often see in the countryside.
