Are you sure?
Zhuang Lian turned his back and quietly asked the team member.
The team member looked at Xiao Longzhan carefully again, then nodded, "Confirmed."
After confirming Xiao Longzhan's identity, Zhuang Lian's expression became even more serious.
He first had the others disperse the crowd, then he walked up to Xiao Longzhan, squatted down, and asked gently, "Young Master, why did you lift this manhole cover?"
"Uncle, have you put any kind of invisible detector in this well?"
Instead of answering, Xiao Longzhan asked a question, walked to the well, and pointed down into the well with his little finger.
"A detector that can turn invisible?"
Zhuang Lian was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was happening. He got up, strode to the well, and looked down.
There was a red light flashing below, which did indeed look like some kind of detector.
He took a small flashlight out of his pocket and shone it down.
The situation was the same as what Xiaolongzhan had just seen; the thing that was flashing red light had disappeared.
But it reappears after the flashlight is turned off.
Zhuang Lian frowned and called over a thin team member, "Go down and take a look!"
"yes!"
The man emitted a faint golden light, which quickly formed a protective suit that covered his body. Without saying a word, he jumped directly into the well.
Xiao Longzhan and Xiao Liang'an immediately lay down by the well and looked down.
All that could be heard was a rustling sound, like someone groping on the ground.
Then the person exclaimed in surprise and quickly climbed up, clutching an unidentified object in their hand.
Lin Xin stretched out his right hand, "Captain, look at this—"
No one could see anything in his hand with the naked eye, but the way he gripped and squeezed it made it clear that he did indeed have something in his hand.
Xiao Longzhan's eyes darted around, and he suddenly snatched the transparent object from Lin Xin's hand, while a sharp dagger appeared in his other hand.
"Young Master, you mustn't!!"
Amid Zhuang Lian's exclamation, Xiao Longzhan stabbed fiercely at the object in his hand.
After a barely audible sound, like cutting tofu, the unidentified object was split in two.
An oval-shaped silver detector, no bigger than a marble, appeared in everyone's sight, flashing red light.
Xiao Longzhan sheathed his dagger, clasped his hands together, and the silver detector disappeared from their sight once more.
After the unidentified object was separated again, the detector reappeared flashing red.
Xiao Longzhan then carried it to a dark place.
As the light gradually dimmed, the red light reappeared, appearing faintly once more.
Xiao Longzhan couldn't resist squeezing the unidentified object; it felt great, bouncy and smooth.
Little Liang An stretched out his hand with a curious look, "Big brother, let me touch it!"
Xiao Longzhan immediately gave him half.
Xiao Liang An squeezed it in his hand a couple of times before returning it to Xiao Long Zhan with little interest, and then continued to wander around the area.
Zhuang Lian stared intently at what Xiao Longzhan was holding, hesitating to speak several times.
"I'll give you half, and I'll take the rest home for my sister and brother-in-law."
Xiao Longzhan handed half of the unidentified object to Zhuang Lian, and put the remaining half and the silver detector into a black plastic bag and carried it away.
"Young Master, this is probably inappropriate..."
After putting away what he was holding, Zhuang Lian said with a troubled expression.
"There's nothing wrong with it!"
Xiao Longzhan hid the black plastic bag behind his back, saying, "This is what we found, so it should belong to us."
"Young Master, this is not a reasonable argument. Why don't you give us the items first? If we find anything, we will inform the Shen family."
Zhuang Lian spoke to Xiao Longzhan in a gentle and polite manner.
"don't want!"
Xiao Longzhan refused again, then turned and called out to Xiao Liang'an, "Xiao'an!"
"I'm here, big brother!"
Xiao Liang'an immediately ran back to Xiao Longzhan's side, and Xiao Longzhan beckoned him to go to the basement.
"You continue your patrol!"
Zhuang Lian waved to his teammates, then followed Xiao Longzhan and the others into the basement.
As soon as he stepped inside, a damp, rotten, and nauseating stench, as if countless decaying objects were mixed together, assaulted Xiao Longzhan's nostrils.
He hadn't smelled such an unpleasant odor in a long time, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, frowning as he walked inside.
Xiao Liang'an remained unaffected, obediently following behind Xiao Longzhan, but his eyes darted around erratically.
In the dim light, small houses were crammed together on both sides of the narrow passageway, and noisy sounds came from inside.
People would occasionally open the door and peek out.
Their eyes lit up when they saw Xiao Longzhan and Xiao Longzhan, who were dressed cleanly and exuded an air of wealth.
"cough--"
Zhuang Lian placed his hand on his lips, coughed lightly as a reminder, and looked at them with a hint of warning in his eyes.
The survivors felt a chill run down their spines, fear flashed in their eyes, and they quickly and carefully slammed the door shut, not daring to make a sound.
After walking for more than ten minutes, winding and turning, Xiao Longzhan finally stopped and stood still.
Five minutes later, Zhuang Lian couldn't hold back any longer and was about to ask Xiao Longzhan why he was standing still when Jiang Nian'an walked out from another passageway.
She had a faint smile on her face and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"elder sister!!"
The two children shouted in a clear, crisp voice at the same time.
What are you two doing here? Didn't I tell you to go home first?
Jiang Nian'an quickened her pace and walked up to them, her expression full of helplessness.
"We're worried about leaving our sister alone."
Xiao Longzhan gently shook her hand, acting coquettishly.
