Zhang Meng immediately showed an expression of understanding, and stopped asking questions, but continued to eat breakfast.
Just as Zhang Meng finished his meal and hadn't even had time to catch his breath, someone from the Onmyoji Bureau came over to notify them to set off.
There were ten people on this trip, and the rest declined to go, using the excuse of feeling unwell.
Led by the members of the Onmyoji Bureau, they soon arrived outside a somewhat eerie house.
"Everyone, that's the forbidden area of our Onmyoji Bureau. It is said that there is a powerful treasure inside. Later, our two groups will go in at the same time. Whoever finds the treasure first will win." The speaker was the man with the topknot from yesterday.
It was only yesterday that Zhang Meng heard from Liao Qingting that his name was Abe Yako, and that he was an old member of the Onmyoji League, and his strength should not be underestimated.
Zhang Meng didn't know if she was being too suspicious, but she always felt that when Abe Yako was talking, his eyes were always glancing towards her, and that look made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Alright, both sides can prepare to go in. Good luck to everyone. I hope there will still be so many talented people when the ten of you come out."
Abe Yako sneered and immediately led his men into the gloomy house in front of them.
"This Abe speaks Chinese really well. I thought that the R people can't speak our language." Zhang Meng looked at his back with curiosity.
At this moment, the know-it-all Sheng Liyuan came over to explain, "That guy, I heard he lived in China for decades, so it's not surprising that he can speak Chinese."
Taoist Wuxin interrupted their speech with a gloomy face, looking at everyone and saying, "Everyone, we don't know what dangers are inside, but everyone must be careful after entering. Make sure to walk together and don't fall behind."
Everyone nodded, and each of them grasped their weapons tightly and began to follow Taoist Wuxin, who was leading the way, into the gloomy house.
After entering, the hall was brightly lit, probably due to the lights left by Abe and others.
Suddenly, there was a noise under a rotten table in the living room.
Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. They held their weapons tightly and looked at the direction where the noise came from.
Taoist Wuxin gave them a calming look, then shouted towards the table, "Who is it?"
"Don't hit me, it's me, don't do it." A girl's voice, as if she was about to cry, came from under the table.
Then a petite and cute girl crawled out and stood in front of them.
"Who are you?" Zhang Meng asked defensively with a frown.
The girl looked disheveled, with a lot of dust on her face and her clothes torn in several pieces.
"My name is Mina Haruko. I came in with Abe Onmyoji. I got separated from them. Can you take me to find them?"
"You speak Chinese very well." Zhang Meng looked at her coldly.
Mina Haruko nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly, "Of course, I have been pestering Professor Abe Yin Yang to help me learn your Chinese since I was a child. So, how is it? I speak Chinese very well, right?"
"Hmph, what's good about that? What you said is nonsense. It's really jargoning our Chinese." One of them glared at Mina Haruko, the R-countryman, with displeasure.
Mina Haruko shuddered with fear, and immediately wrapped her hands around Zhang Meng's arms, tears welling in her eyes. "Sister, you look like a good person. Can you help me and take me to find Abe Yin Yang to help them? Please."
Zhang Meng felt a little uncomfortable with the R countryman holding her arm like this, and gently pushed her hand away, "I'm sorry, I don't have the right to decide this matter."
Mina Haruko immediately started crying anxiously, "What should I do? If I stay in this place alone, I will die soon. I don't want to die so soon."
