When the two came out, Ma Yang was nowhere to be seen.
"He wouldn't leave on his own. Even if he's scared, he'll stay here and wait!"
Lin Anran said in a deep voice, "I know! There must be other places we haven't found yet. He's been here the whole time; he couldn't have just disappeared!"
It can't be...
The two continued to feel along the wall, and Lin Anran easily pressed down a protruding section of the wall.
The ground was hollow, and the two people uncontrollably slid down the railway track.
Jiang Qinian reacted quickly, pulling Lin Anran into his arms. After a few bumps, the two slowly came to a stop.
Lin Anran had just heard a muffled groan, and she asked worriedly, "A-Nian! Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Let me see."
"I didn't, sweetie~"
"Who, who is that?"
"It's me!"
Ma Yang spoke weakly, saying that he was almost out of breath. He had just fainted from the pain after being thrown down, and then these two people landed on top of him. He was so unlucky!
"Can you all come down first? I can't breathe!"
Lin Anran stood up in a panic, her eyes filled with guilt. "I'm so sorry! We didn't mean to!"
Ma Yang leaned against the wall and stood up. He patted the dust off his clothes and coughed lightly twice.
"I was waiting for you outside when I heard a child crying. I got scared and grabbed the wall to go find you, but I accidentally pressed the button and fell down!"
"A child crying? Are you sure?"
"Yes! I'm sure, and it's coming from underground! You tell me, isn't it right around here?"
Ma Yang was scared and kept scaring himself; his hand had involuntarily gripped that strong arm.
"Boss! How about we leave today? We'll come back tomorrow during the day. This place is just too eerie!"
Although he said that, his legs didn't relax at all, and he kept up closely with the two of them.
Sudden--
"Aaaaaah! Someone grabbed my leg!"
He jumped three feet high and hung on Jiang Qinian.
No matter how hard Jiang Qinian tried to shake him off, he couldn't get rid of him; he was like a leech, screaming in terror.
"Something really grabbed me, and it was slippery! I don't want to go down! It's terrifying!"
Lin Anran shone her flashlight on the ground, but there was nothing there.
"Are you just imagining things? Don't be scared, we're both here!"
Ma Yang also wondered if he was too scared. He was a man, and the girl wasn't scared at all, but he was running around in fear. It was really embarrassing.
Realizing what had happened, Ma Yang jumped off Jiang Qinian and straightened his clothes.
"I might have been mistaken. It wasn't actually that scary. I was just trying to scare you guys! Hahaha!"
The three quickened their pace; the place was ridiculously large, like the tunnels of an entire amusement park.
"Ah! This time something really touched me!"
As expected, Ma Yang jumped again, uncontrollably unleashing a fireball that scattered dust on the ground.
Lin Anran frowned. There really was something there. She shone her flashlight on the ground, and the thing was definitely charred.
In order to lure out the evil things, the two hid in the shadows and let Ma Yang lure them into the trap.
"I... I really can do this! You all have to protect me! I'm scared!"
Suddenly, I felt a cool, sticky sensation on my ankle.
Before he could cry out, Lin Anran used vines to entangle the branches that were trying to escape.
"Tree branches!"
Seeing that it wasn't something dirty, Ma Yang breathed a deep sigh of relief. He was terrified!
"There's someone here with wood-based abilities, and that person is no ordinary individual!"
The person who can distribute the branches and possesses such spirituality is definitely not simple.
Lin Anran was certain that no one else could do this.
There is only one possibility: this plant is wild, just like the advanced mutated plant in the original base, and has developed its own sentience.
But...where are its roots?
Lin Anran's eyes lit up, startling the panicked Ma Yang beside her.
My sister-in-law's eyes are terrifying, even scarier than a ghost's eyes!
"Let's go! If we follow this branch, we're sure to find something else!"
"How did you know, sister-in-law!"
Lin Anran withdrew the vines from her hand and smiled slightly, "Of course, it's through strength! That's what they told me."
The provocative notes just moments before now lay limp on the ground, curled up in a ball as if they had seen something terrifying.
Ma Yang's lips twitched. He hadn't expected his sister-in-law to be so narcissistic. What a beautiful woman! How come she keeps learning bad things from her husband!
Along the way, whenever the tree branches saw the three people, they would immediately huddle together. Without these things to bother him, Ma Yang became bolder and walked ahead excitedly.
A bloodless head fell from the sky. He instinctively caught it in his arms, its two big eyes wide open. He threw the head away and fell to the ground again.
"Yes, there is a ghost!"
Jiang Qinian kicked his head further away; he was so angry with Ma Yang that his head was about to explode.
"That's not a ghost, it's a fake human head!"
"Really? Really?"
"Um!"
After passing through seven or eight checkpoints, we finally saw the end. At the end, a woman was hanging on a cross. Her hair was draped over her face, and she was completely silent and motionless.
"Boss! Is she expensive? Or is she a mannequin?!"
"A dummy! Go take a look!"
Ma Yang boldly took two steps forward, brushing his hair behind his ear. The woman suddenly raised her head and shouted, "Ma Yang—give me back my life!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Thump!"
The man fell straight down, and the woman laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! I knew it was you, you brat! What's wrong? Missed your mother? You still know how to come looking for me?"
Jiang Qinian shook his head helplessly, "Mom! You're still so childish! You know perfectly well that we came in looking for you, yet you still try to scare him!"
"I was just playing around~ Really!"
She muttered a couple of things, then looked at Lin Anran with sparkling eyes.
"This is the daughter-in-law you found for me? She's so beautiful! Her name is Ranran, right? I'm Jiang Qinian's mother, hello there! Little beauty!"
She smiled gently, reached her hand out from the chains, squeezed the soft little hand, and laughed happily!
"Great! Son, I love my daughter-in-law so much! She's really made something of herself! When are you going to let me hold my grandchildren?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Lin Anran was taken aback. This was too fast! They were already pressuring her to have a baby right after meeting!
"Ms. Jiang, please don't frighten Ranran!"
