Just like the reliable one from before, Fei'er maintained this posture for a long time without changing.
Abao didn't hear Kaopu and Fei'er's whispers at all, so when it turned around, it saw that Kaopu and Fei'er had only bumped heads, and Fei'er had already fallen into this inexplicable state.
What are they doing?
It tilted its head in confusion. Then, driven by curiosity, it tiptoed closer to the more reliable ones.
"Clang—Clang—"
Abao waddled like a clumsy penguin, making loud footsteps, but the reliable and the hapless, who were completely focused on whether Rose was there, didn't notice its approach at all.
"Huh?"
What are you doing?
A hoarse cawing suddenly rang out, forcing the completely unprepared Fei'er to interrupt his thoughts. He opened his eyes, his gaze filled with helplessness towards A Bao.
At this point, Kaopu couldn't hold back his anger any longer.
Don't you even know what time it is? Is this the right time to ask this question?!
However, before it could unleash its anger, Fier stepped forward and stopped it.
"Waaah—"
[Sir, I didn't sense Ruth's presence.]
Therefore, whether Abao interrupts or not makes no difference now.
Naturally, Kaopu immediately understood Feier's unfinished words, suppressed his anger, and looked thoughtful.
It just carefully circled the area, leaving no corner unchecked...
I'm absolutely certain there's no trace of Ruth at all!
But... when it returned here, it clearly sensed that Ruth was nearby again, the feeling was still very strong, telling it that Ruth had not left at all!
What exactly happened? Where did the problem lie?
"Are you sure?" Kaopu looked up at Fei'er, his tone serious, "Are you sure you don't?"
However, the answer remained the same, and Fei Er nodded almost without hesitation.
so······
“Fei’er, why don’t you look around too? Maybe I’m mistaken?” Kaopu said the last sentence in a very low voice, almost as if he were asking himself in a daze.
Under Kaopu's instructions, it was soon Fei'er's turn to leave, leaving behind Abao, who knew nothing, and Kaopu, who was still confused and frowning.
Abao tentatively stretched out a foot towards Kaopu, slowly moving to Kaopu's side. It didn't speak as it had before, until Kaopu noticed it out of the corner of its eye and finally glanced at it, then it cautiously called out.
"Huh?"
[What did Fei'er go to do?]
Kaopu didn't say anything, just glanced at it indifferently.
Abao: ······
Startled, it flapped its wings without hesitation and fled from the reliable place.
It must be said that although Po doesn't have a big head, his sense of danger is indeed very sharp.
After that, Abao dared not get close to Kaopu anymore, and the two of them waited at a distance until Feier returned and broke the silence.
"How is it?" As soon as he saw Fei'er appear in the distance, Kaopu rushed over and asked impatiently, "Did you find anything?"
It couldn't hide its eagerness at all, but the result was going to disappoint it again. Just like before, all it got in response was a disappointed shake of its head.
Clearly, like it, Fei'er got nothing!
Now that things have come to this point, it proves that there is indeed no trace of Rose's existence. Even if you don't believe it, you should have no choice but to believe it.
Facts speak louder than words!
But even those with a background in the system are still unwilling to believe it!
Even because of this undeniable fact, its internal systems have become somewhat disordered.
It's hard to understand. With such strong information about Rose's existence here, why is there no trace of Rose's actual presence?
Furthermore, looking at it from another angle, if it was lured here, why isn't there even a trap here?!
Yes, apart from the strong signals it could sense, there was no trace of Ruth's presence here, nor any time trap that could be called a time trap!
So, why is that?
Why??
Why?!!
Unbeknownst to anyone, Kaopu lowered his head, and no one noticed the mysterious light flashing in his cat-like eyes.
Reliability has fallen into a dilemma of either/or.
Silence began to spread, and they all stood still until night fell.
The stars had appeared in the sky, but even at this hour, there was still no sign of any reliable people in the room.
What exactly did they go about?
Without the two noisy guys, Kaopu and Abao, the room was unusually quiet. Xu Ling, who should have felt comfortable, frowned and felt a sense of worry.
It's unbelievable that she would leave her for so long, and not only that, she didn't even tell her what she was going to do!
Could it be... that they've encountered danger?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Xu Ling immediately shook her head.
She's overthinking things!
Putting everything else aside, how could a reliable entity possibly be in danger if it doesn't even have a physical presence?
After comforting herself with this thought, Xu Ling suppressed the urge to immediately go out and find them.
But after waiting a while longer, the outside remained quiet, with no reliable sound of anyone returning. Xu Ling couldn't hold back any longer.
"I'll go find them!" With those words, she dashed out of the room like a whirlwind.
In the corridor, oil lamps were already lit, their flickering light illuminating the passage ahead.
Somewhat scary!
After only a moment's hesitation, Xu Ling took a step forward.
The flickering lights shone on her face, and the dim road ahead held an unfathomable unknown. Despite this, Xu Ling continued to move forward.
However… just as she reached the top of the stairs, facing the dark, gaping abyss below that seemed like a monstrous beast ready to devour her, Xu Ling suddenly jerked her head. Then, as if she had completely forgotten she was supposed to go downstairs, she walked straight ahead.
As she left the stairwell and entered the corridor on the other side, the previously dim lights suddenly blazed on, illuminating the entire corridor and leaving her nowhere to hide.
