Chapter 151: Master? Run!
In this case, taking risks is necessary. After all, nothing in this world is 100% smooth sailing.
Jiang Liuyun saw Lin Zhiqing's determination: "Qing'er, since you have made up your mind, I will do whatever you say."
"Thank you." Lin Zhiqing smiled softly, and then made a quick decision: "Step aside, I'll get the box."
"How can this be possible?" Jiang Liuyun stood still and said, "This man's origin is unknown and he is very dangerous. I can just go and get it. He can't do anything to me."
As he spoke, Jiang Liuyun put the flute at his waist and was about to step forward.
Lin Zhiqing didn't give in: "He is very likely hypnotized. I want to verify whether it is the box that is the problem."
Having said that, Jiang Liuyun, a layman who knew nothing about the study of the mind, naturally did not say anything more:
"In that case, be careful. I'll be watching from the side and will definitely not let you get in any danger."
"Okay." Lin Zhiqing nodded, then turned his gaze to the box.
It was a medium-sized box, and no pattern or color could be seen on it.
She touched the box, and seeing that the white-haired man did not react, she took out a handkerchief that was so dirty that the color could not be seen, and began to wipe the box.
Except for the places touched by the white-haired man's hand, Lin Zhiqing wiped all other visible places.
After wiping off the dust, a red sandalwood box appeared before her eyes.
The box was very ordinary and looked no different from any other box.
Lin Zhiqing accurately found the keyhole of the box.
She took out a dagger, scraped the gap in the box, and then found the right position and thrust it in with force.
Jiang Liuyun finally understood after seeing this. Didn’t Lin Zhiqing intend to take out the box?
Yes, Lin Zhiqing didn't want to take the box out, she wanted to minimize the risk.
The box is not important, what is inside the box is what matters.
If the box is the condition for waking up the man in white, then there is a chance that she can avoid it by doing this, which is always a good thing.
Thinking of this, she increased the strength in her hands.
Soon, a "crunching" sound was heard.
Lin Zhiqing continued to use his strength to pry the edge of the box.
Finally, with a "click", the lid of the box lifted up and was blocked by the hand of the man in white, but a gap as long as a fist still appeared.
The man in white still didn't react.
Lin Zhiqing and Jiang Liuyun looked into the gap at the same time and saw that there seemed to be some letters in the box.
"There really is something there." A hint of joy flashed in Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
She held the dagger in her right hand and tried to reach into the gap with her left hand.
Fortunately, her hands were very thin, and she touched the letter paper with almost no effort.
She was not greedy and picked up the one on top.
After successfully taking the things out, she couldn't wait to open the envelope.
Then, I saw a very familiar name!
Haruko!
It's the correspondence between Aunt Chun and Liu Mang!
Lin Zhiqing didn't have time to read it any further. She quickly put the letter away and continued to reach into the box.
Before long, she had taken out all the letters from the box.
She counted them and there were thirty-eight in total.
Lin Zhiqing did not take out each letter and read them one by one, nor did she know whether every letter was related to Aunt Chun, but she knew that these things were very important to Liu Mang.
Every time she took one more letter, she had one more handle on Liu Mang.
After putting away all the letters, Lin Zhiqing looked back and saw Jiang Liuyun staring at the box. She raised her chin towards the exit.
"Qing'er, you go first, I'll cover you." Jiang Liuyun took a step back and made way.
"It's okay, let's go together." Lin Zhiqing moved out.
The white-haired man was not awakened, and Lin Zhiqing got what he wanted, so there was no need for both of them to stay here.
Jiang Liuyun didn't say much. He glanced at the white-haired man and followed Lin Zhiqing out.
The two soon reached the exit.
Things went so smoothly that Lin Zhiqing's steps became brisk. As they entered the exit, she finally felt relieved.
As she walked, the dust on the stairs flew up.
But... the smile on Lin Zhiqing's face faded a little. Why is the dust getting more and more?
Just as this thought came to mind, a fast and heavy sound of footsteps came from behind them, and it became more and more obvious!
Lin Zhiqing paused, and she and Jiang Liuyun turned their heads to look back at the same time.
The white-haired man appeared at the exit, looking like a ghost!
"Damn it, how did he wake up? Run!" Lin Zhiqing shouted and ran out quickly.
Jiang Liuyun followed Lin Zhiqing for a few steps, and seeing that the white-haired man was about to catch up, he drew his dagger.
Lin Zhiqing felt a gust of extremely fast wind coming from behind her. She quickened her pace and threw the fire starter in her hand to the highest point.
In an instant, a figure was revealed by the firelight.
Lu Huai's voice rang out at the same time: "Zhiqing? Are you out?"
Lin Zhiqing was about to answer when she felt the cold wind behind her fade away a little, but she didn't think much about it and shouted loudly: "Lu Huai, hurry up, we've been discovered!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a muffled groan sounded behind her.
Lin Zhiqing turned around and saw Jiang Liuyun holding his shoulder and fighting with the white-haired man.
She stopped and asked: "Jiang Liuyun, are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Liuyun raised his short sword and blocked the palm strike from the man in white. "Qing'er, this man is a master. Hurry up and leave. I can get away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in white punched him in the vitals.
"Be careful." Lin Zhiqing exclaimed, watching Jiang Liuyun narrowly avoid the attack of the man in white.
She stamped her feet, knowing that she was useless here and might even be a hindrance, so she turned around and ran out.
After running a few steps, she saw Lu Huai coming in confused.
"Zhiqing, what happened?" Lu Huai didn't understand the situation.
"There's no time to explain to you, run first!" Lin Zhiqing quickly ran to Lu Huai and pulled Lu Huai outside.
Not long after, they came out of the secret passage and stood in the dusty secret room again.
Lin Zhiqing's chest rose and fell slightly. She quickly found a broken table leg and threw it to Lu Huai. She held the dagger in her hand and stared at the exit of the secret passage.
"What's going on? Is there someone inside?" Lu Huai took the table leg and stood at the exit.
"No, he's much more perverted than humans." Lin Zhiqing got goosebumps when he thought of the white-haired man who suddenly appeared from behind him like a ghost.
How did he wake up? Could it be because I took the letter?
But she didn't have time to think about it, and she shouted into the dark passage:
"Jiang Liuyun, hurry up, run outside! Once you get out, we'll lock that pervert up!"
Jiang Liuyun did not respond, but Lin Zhiqing heard the sound of fighting getting closer!
She tightened her grip on the dagger.
