Almost as soon as Mo Fan and the other two had sneaked into the shadows of the bushes, a loud shout was heard from nearby. They could also faintly hear the footsteps of a group of people approaching, heading straight towards them.
Mo Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a team of patrol officers in black uniforms walking towards them. They were all strong and muscular, with ferocious faces and cold eyes!
The auras on their bodies were heavy and powerful, and they were all mid-level mages. The one leading the group seemed to be majoring in light, and as he approached, his eyes shone with bright light.
The patrol captain led his team towards their hiding place, as if he knew that there were rats hiding there!
The light system is the most sensitive to the aura of shadow!
"Bai Mo, what should we do! The shadow's aura has been detected. If they come over, we will be discovered immediately!"
Mo Fan asked anxiously, with flames in his hands that could explode at any time, "How about we work together, move quickly, finish this job and run away."
"What are you doing? We are here to lurk, not to attack!"
He rolled his eyes, and silently, a silver pattern was printed in front of the two of them, forming a gray entrance.
"Dimensional walking!"
Bai Mo's eyes flashed, and he completely fixed the opened dimensional passage leading to the inner space.
"What are you standing there for? Come in!"
“Ohhh!”
Mo Fan nodded subconsciously and stepped into the gray passage. Before he could ask, he saw Bai Mo standing beside him and the passage behind him was quietly closed.
"Don't use magic, they won't see us or sense us."
Bai Mo reminded him that with the improvement of his control over space and more abundant magic energy, it would be no problem for him to carry one person with him when walking in this dimension.
Mo Fan quickly dispersed the fierce fist in his hand and looked outside. It seemed that the world was covered with a layer of gray. It felt like he was looking at the world outside the window through dusty glass.
Then he saw that group of people coming over, and one person even ran straight towards him!
Mo Fan subconsciously dodged to the side, but found that these people passed through him like ghosts.
These people ignored them and kept scanning the bushes. The light mage even shone a beam of light, illuminating every detail of the place. All the shadows disappeared in the layers of dense golden light.
The leading light mage kept scanning, his hawk-like gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the space and meet Bai Mo's eyes directly.
Bai Mo was not moved at all and was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stood there and looked at the team of patrolling mages.
There were five of them in total, and without being able to sense their aura, they couldn't judge their specific cultivation level.
The five men all had Western faces and were approximately thirty years old. Apart from a black uniform like that of security guards, they had no other attire.
"Bai Mo, what kind of magic is this?"
Mo Fan quickly shifted his attention to the space around him. He could feel that he could get out, but a force was blocking him.
It can’t be said to be strength. It’s like there is a door in front of you that moves at a very fast speed. You need to keep up with it so that you can insert the key, open it and walk out.
He obviously does not have the ability to follow this door now, but Bai Mo was clearly using a star map just now.
"Could it be the fourth-level spatial rhythm?"
"This is a derivative magic of control, dimensional walking."
Bai Mo briefly explained the magic to him, and then when he saw that he was about to speak again, he raised a finger, signaling him to shut up.
"Listen to what they are talking about."
"Can we hear the sounds outside from here?" Mo Fan was stunned. Without looking at Bai Mo's stupid look, he shut up and listened to the voices coming from the space.
"Ham, are you seeing things? There is no one here?!"
Said a man with a Mediterranean hair on his head.
"Yes, our warning array is made of space mages. When they travel through space, there will be fluctuations. There was nothing just now, so how could someone appear here?" Someone else agreed.
"Impossible, I am a light mage, and I clearly sensed the fluctuations of the shadow element just now!"
The light man still looked around with his pair of bright golden eyes, and even walked inside.
However, he only took two steps before his teammates pulled him back, "Are you crazy? We can't go in there!"
"The warning magic circle didn't fluctuate, which means no one came in. Maybe a mad creature ran out and went back in."
"Qiao Sen is right. It's just that a child ran away, but the supervisor is so nervous. It's okay for him to be nervous, but he can't make things difficult for us. Ham, don't take it too seriously."
A team member with the oldest face said: "I have been guarding here for so many years, and I have never seen the warning array alarm light up once."
"The most recent one was just the killing of the leader of the pack of dogs outside."
"That's right. Those people outside are capable of doing things and don't try to provoke powerful and strong people." The person next to him echoed.
"Hmm! Maybe he's a lunatic who ran out of the mountain."
Ham responded solemnly, the golden light in his eyes fading as he swept his gaze across the woods. He crushed the weeds under his feet with his boots and went off on patrol in one direction.
Seeing these people leave, Mo Fan let out a long sigh, "They're gone, let's get out now."
"No, follow me!"
"ah!"
"hurry up."
Bai Mo urged, then took the lead and followed the patrol team.
"We are here to investigate, why are we following them?"
"They are guards. If we follow them, we may be able to get some understanding of the defense here. It's almost time for dinner."
"Really? After we're done, we can go out for dinner."
Although Mo Fan didn't understand why Bai Mo changed the subject so much, he agreed that food is the most important thing for people. Although he prefers crayfish, he can't not eat it.
"I mean, it's time for dinner, we can follow them to the cafeteria."
“Ah! Is this a bad idea?” Mo Fan scratched his head. For the first time, he felt that Bai Mo was braver than him. “If we eat in their cafeteria, we will be discovered.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo looked at him with a dark face. Sighing, Bai Mo stopped hinting and said directly:
"Don't just think about eating. Find the mess hall. If we guard there, we'll know how many guards there are. If they don't divide the mess hall, we might be able to find out how many people are here and who they are."
"That's right! We should chat while eating, and we overheard the information as soon as we chatted!"
Mo Fan clapped his hands and continued, "How about we add some ingredients to their food? I have a piss, and I've been preparing it for a while. Hehehe~"
"Then I'll leave first and leave you here. You can add ingredients to their breakfast tomorrow." Bai Mo looked at him expressionlessly.
"How can this be? I was just joking, just a joke."
The area this team of patrol officers is responsible for is approximately an 800-meter section within the wall, not far from the gate of the mental hospital, separated only by a team of patrol officers.
It seems that their defensive force is sufficient, Bai Mo secretly agreed in his heart, and followed the trend of the two teams interacting with each other to catch up with the other team.
In this way, they went around the entire mental hospital and almost the entire forest. They found that there were twelve teams of patrol guards inside the wall, all of whom were mid-level mages.
As for the extremely strict supervisor mentioned by these people, I didn't see him. Maybe supervisors don't need to patrol.
After going around in a circle, they returned to the patrol team led by the light mage Ham. By now, the sky was already dim.
The two followed them to a cafeteria with the number 4 on it. Obviously, there was more than one cafeteria, and these cafeterias did not have any regulations on the identities of the people who could enter.
It should be up to them to choose, based on their personal wishes.
From the conversation between Ham and the four team members, Bai Mo also learned that these patrol personnel also have levels. For example, those of them circling in the mental hospital are stronger than those standing guard outside the wall. There are also some guards in the mountains and forests, but not many.
The cafeteria was not much different from the factory cafeteria outside. There were not many people there at the moment. In addition to the patrol members, Bai Mo and the others also saw some medical staff.
This mental hospital is open to the public, and from their conversation, we can tell that the ordinary employees here have no idea that there is something fishy going on here.
Maybe the management knows, but they don't come here to eat.
"Boss, I have a question?"
Ham and his group sat down in a relatively open place, and then they heard a younger man in the team say.
"explain!"
"Why do we always have to come to Canteen 4 to eat? Honestly, the food here is really bad."
"Hey, you don't understand this, Ah Hu." Ham didn't say anything after hearing this, but the oldest wizard said:
"The 4th canteen is where the adults from the forest come to eat. We might bump into them sometime when we come here. If an adult happens to be in a good mood and talks to us for a few more words, then it won't be a problem for him to immediately become a small supervisor."
“So that’s how it is.”
After listening to these conversations, Bai Mo stayed here for a while, and finally confirmed that no upper-level personnel would come here, so he turned to Mo Fan and said:
"Let's go."
"Okay, it's time to go back and eat. Hey, Bai Mo, you're going the wrong way."
"Let's go to the mountains and find out more. There will be plenty of time to give you food."
Shaking his head, Bai Mo went towards the direction of the forest. When he was observing from the sky before, he noticed that there was something wrong with the forest. Now, after hearing the conversation between the patrol members, he became more certain.
This nameless forest doesn't look big when viewed from the sky, but it seems quite vast when you are actually in it.
When I looked down from the sky just now, the dense forest path below was clear, but now that I am in the mountains, it is not easy to find the exact location.
As soon as we entered the forest path, a madman with feces all over his face and a silly grin rushed towards us, with several patrol officers chasing behind him.
Seeing the wind tracks on their bodies light up, they were still a little behind the madman in front of them. A strange look flashed in Bai Mo's eyes, and Mo Fan beside him shouted:
"Oh my god, this guy is really mentally ill, and he seems to be a wizard."
"And his cultivation is not low."
Bai Mo added and pulled him out of the way. No magic from the outside world could pass through the range of the dimensional walking, otherwise it would be broken.
But the madman raised his hand and sent out two waves of earth. The rolling waves of earth looked like feces, and even bubbles appeared, pouring down on the two people who were chasing behind.
"Haha, this is fun!" The mentally ill person laughed and ran away even further.
"Wind Prison!"
But at this moment, a blond man with wings of wind on his back rushed over, and in the blink of an eye he came in front of the escaping mental patient. He raised his hand and dropped a prison made of strong wind, covering him.
After trapping the mentally ill person, the blond high-level wind-type master flew away directly, and the tied-up mentally ill person was also caught by several embarrassed patrol officers who followed closely behind.
"Damn it, this guy seems to still have some consciousness. He actually knew to run away."
"Escort him back to the mountains. These people are so damn evil that even Feng Gui can't catch up with them."
"What kind of spirit seed is this? It's just like shit. Give me some more water guards!"
The two patrolling guards walked away cursing, but the mentally ill person who was caught by his mother didn't say a word from beginning to end. Bai Mo suddenly had an idea and immediately followed with Mo Fan.
Following the two men, they walked all the way to a place on the west side of the forest where the trees were particularly tall and dense. There was not even a formal road leading here, only a small path that was obviously trampled out by people coming and going.
The forest was actually surrounded by barbed wire. Just as the two patrolmen escorted the mentally ill patient to the vicinity, a bald man with a gloomy temperament appeared from somewhere.
"Sir, we have caught him." As soon as the bald man appeared, the two patrolmen lowered their heads and reported respectfully.
"Well, back off."
The bald man responded indifferently, stretched out his hand and pushed, and a layer of water waves hit the tied-up mentally ill patient directly, directly washing away the filth on his body. The strong impact of the water flow knocked the mentally ill patient unconscious instantly.
After doing all this, he dragged the mentally ill person directly into the dense forest.
"We follow?"
The wire fence was opened, and Mo Fan saw the bald man dragging someone in, so he asked.
"certainly."
Bai Mo immediately stepped forward. It was much easier with someone leading the way. Otherwise, if they looked for it on their own, they would definitely not find it today.
Jiang Shaoxu found out from the interrogation that all the people in Zheying sent the abducted children here, and he did not see any large-scale gathering of people in the sky at the beginning.
Considering the secrecy of this dense forest, the most likely scenario is that these children were hidden.
While the wire mesh was still there, Bai Mo and Mo Fan followed in immediately. Although he was in the dimensional walking state, he basically would not have any contact with the outside world.
But it would be bad if this layer of wire mesh is also a barrier. The better way is to follow the gap opened by the bald man.
This dense forest only occupies a small part of the mountain. When you enter it, you can see a few scattered small houses standing under the cover of trees, some of which have people inside and some don't.
However, all the small houses were built around an entrance that seemed to lead underground. Bai Mo and the other man followed the bald man and entered the open shed.
You can see a deep staircase leading downwards, with each step going from bright to dark.
“Hoohoo~~~~!”
A faint sound came from the entrance, like wind, or like someone breathing inside.
"Ahhh!!" (End of this chapter)
