"Su Su, Mr. Yang, you are here." In the bronze coffin, Murong Mengli regained her usual cold appearance, and her every move perfectly matched the elegant and steady personality of a nobleman, except for this unchanging title.
Yang Dongqing, who was originally feeling uncomfortable, felt even more uncomfortable when he heard the word Su Su. He glanced at the two of them.
This feeling is very similar to when you are heartbroken and plan to talk to a friend, but then you find out that your friend just found a beautiful girlfriend. It’s a double blow!
It is certainly painful to have a bad life, but what is even more painful is to find out that your friends are having a pretty good life!
"What's wrong with Mr. Yang?" Murong Mengli noticed that something was wrong with Yang Dongqing and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, just a broken heart."
Murong Mengli looked strange, but she didn't say much. She went straight to the point and said, "I didn't tell you the purpose of exploring the abandoned city before, mainly because I was afraid that the news would leak out. Now that the action is imminent, I will tell you directly. Please read it."
She took out a gold-cast leaf from her bag. The leaf had distinct textures and looked lifelike. It did not look like it was handmade, but rather a naturally grown golden leaf.
"I bought this golden leaf from a scavenger in the abandoned city. I carefully compared it with the family's classics. This should be a leaf that fell from the golden tree, and the Golden Eye is the fruit of the golden tree. So I guess there is a high probability that there are clues to the Golden Eye in the abandoned city."
Su Mu nodded. He had already guessed Murong Mengli's purpose. If it wasn't for the Golden Eye, why would she have to explore the abandoned city area?
He took the golden leaf from Murong Mengli and found that it felt very strange. It looked like gold, but it felt like a leaf.
"Where are those nightmare apostles? Are they here?"
"All seven people are here, and no one backs down. Susu, your words must have hit their souls. They did reflect on themselves after they went back." Murong Mengli made a rare joke.
It was not surprising for Su Mu to have everyone present. His mental strength increased day by day, especially after he obtained [The Immaculate Heart] and [The Myriad Things]. It was a natural thing for him to hypnotize seven nightmare apostles who were ordinary people.
"I'm very curious as to why you have to bring these seven ordinary people with you. Even if they are nightmare apostles, their actual combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of professionally trained mercenaries."
"Indeed, their combat power is very weak, but the purpose this time is not to fight, but to find clues. The biggest difference between Nightmare Apostles and ordinary people is that they have a special sense of monsters and items in the Nightmare world, a bit like a woman's intuition, which will make it easier for you to find them."
Soon, under the leadership of Murong Mengli, they went to the underground base and met the seven nightmare apostles.
While Murong Mengli was assigning the tasks, Su Mu pulled down his glasses. A touch of azure light flashed in his eyes. Invisible mental power poured into the bodies of the seven people, intensifying the hypnosis.
"Susu, this is the route map dictated by the scavenger. The area circled in red is where the golden leaves were found. It is also the primary target of your exploration this time."
Su Mu put away the route map and without wasting any time, he led everyone out at daybreak. Two business cars headed straight for the abandoned city area.
Arriving at the abandoned city area, everyone felt as if they had arrived in another world.
What meets the eye is a gray smog, and beneath the smog are countless broken walls and ruins. Human-built buildings have become extremely dilapidated, and their reinforced concrete skeletons are crumbling.
Broken glass and abandoned vehicles can be seen everywhere on the dimly visible streets. The trees on both sides of the road grow wildly, as if they have undergone some kind of mutation. They grow crooked and covered with tumor-like protrusions.
The vehicle continued to move forward, covered by the fog, until the ruins on the street blocked the way and the vehicle slowly stopped.
"Everyone get off the bus." Su Mu gave an order, and all five Nightmare Apostles got off the bus.
"What a heavy smog! It wasn't like this when I came here last year." The man with tattoos among the Nightmare Apostles flapped his arms vigorously, trying to blow away the polluted air.
Su Mu glanced at the crowd and found that one person was missing. He frowned and called out, "Yang Dongqing."
After a moment, Yang Dongqing got out of the car with a reluctant look on his face. It was obvious that he didn't want to do anything at this moment because of his broken heart.
"Let's go, Yang Dongqing, lead the way." Su Mu took out a white handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose. Although the pungent smog would not cause any harm to his pure body, the smell was indeed unpleasant.
The crowd began to move forward in the haze. Out of fear of the abandoned city, the five nightmare apostles were very nervous and couldn't help but clench their guns.
Su Mu observed his surroundings carefully. As a superhuman, his visibility was better than that of ordinary people even in the haze. He saw that the signs of roadside shops had long faded, the words were blurred, there were signs of being pried open on the doors, and the windows were covered with thick dust and cobwebs.
The walls of some abandoned factories are also covered with moss and vines.
This is a forgotten urban area, so quiet that it is almost dead.
"There's something here!" Yang Dongqing, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a baby's body lying not far in front of Yang Dongqing!
The baby was white and chubby and looked very cute, but there was a bloody hole on its little head, where it was caused by a bullet.
A female nightmare apostle's face suddenly turned pale: "It's so inhumane, why shoot a baby!?"
"This is not a baby." Su Mu pushed his brown glasses and led everyone towards the baby. Everyone finally understood why Su Mu said it was not a baby.
The white baby's lower body actually had eight pitch-black, furry spider legs!
Su Mu wiped the wound of the monster baby with a handkerchief, which was immediately stained with yellow-green blood. He looked at the dryness of the blood and said, "The monster baby has not been dead for long, probably within one or two days. It is possible that someone came here first."
Then, he was about to throw away the handkerchief, but at this moment, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and stared at a corner of the handkerchief!
There was a word written on that corner! It was written in pen.
"remember"
Su Mu frowned and stared at the words on the handkerchief. He had no idea why there was an extra word on his handkerchief. You know, he always carried this handkerchief with him.
Because he used to have frequent nosebleeds, he would carry a handkerchief with him every day.
But now the handkerchief he was carrying with him had been written on by someone without him knowing when. To be able to do such a thing and not be detected by his powerful mental strength, how powerful could the person who wrote it be?
