Chapter 869 The Person is Gone



Go find it yourself?

I was utterly shocked by what Fatty Zhou said.

At a time like this, he actually said he was going to go find something.

This is something I never expected.

Even Fatty Zhou himself said that the process of digging for sea marrow was extremely difficult and could even be life-threatening.

Otherwise, his apprentice, who had followed him as a student, wouldn't have gone and never returned.

Without even thinking, I'm just guessing, but I'd say that his apprentice is probably already dead out there.

The matter of digging up the sea marrow and reporting back should have been completed long ago, but now there is no news at all. The only explanation is that he was arrested by those so-called management, or that he has already died outside.

In such a desolate place, no matter how gruesome or how one dies, it is not unusual.

"Brother, if we still haven't heard from that person in three days, we'll break ties with this boss."

Yiyi also spoke slightly at this moment, her voice very low.

I stared intently at Yiyi; she carried an indescribable heaviness.

I guess this fat guy was just too nice to us.

They were even better than we expected, which was a bit strange.

As the other party to the contract, they not only did not harm us, but even helped us find the sea marrow.

The only time he showed any disgust was towards his old friend, Blue Armor.

I can completely understand the girl's suspicions; something is definitely amiss when things seem unusual.

"Master, what the girl said is absolutely right. If we really have to fight, I'll be the main force!"

At this moment, Lei Jijian was also shouting in his mind.

I was almost always ignited by his fighting spirit.

It seems that once inside the water, Lei Jijian becomes extremely warlike.

I also asked him why this subtle change occurred, and Lei Jijian replied that there was too much unstable energy involved.

Not only this boss, but also the white fog before, and that part on the street, all felt quite strange to him.

However, what I'm thinking is that regardless of whether we make peace with this boss or not, even if we take action in three days, we should at least give him a warning first.

I had already thought it all out in my mind. I wanted to make it clear to him what we were going to say and the purpose of our trip.

If it really doesn't exist, we'll have no choice but to take it by force.

I was whispering to Yiyi, but the moment I turned around, my eyes widened in shock.

Fatty Zhou has disappeared.

Just as I was looking towards the door, the storage room door slammed shut by itself.

Yiyi and I rushed over and tried to twist the door, but it didn't work at all.

The door seems to be locked from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, the fat boss's footsteps could be heard again.

It was exactly the same thumping sound that made your heart tremble when he first came downstairs.

Moreover, the footsteps were sometimes near and sometimes far, and I couldn't catch the sound from just now.

However, one thing is certain: it's definitely on the 3rd floor.

I listened carefully and then let the lightning sword experience it.

The sound of footsteps was repeated.

That means someone was pacing back and forth on the 3rd floor!

"Brother, footsteps...and a child crying! It's happening again..."

Yiyi's eyes were filled with unease as she spoke anxiously.

The sound of a child crying?

I listened carefully and realized that there did seem to be a child's voice mixed in with the footsteps.

But it wasn't very strong.

It was a sound that seemed to come from afar and then drift away, ethereal and fleeting.

At that moment, the lights in the dressing room suddenly went out.

The light wasn't very strong to begin with, and now the whole room is pitch black.

For me, the flashlight that Liu Guopeng gave me at the beginning, combined with the light from my phone, was enough to make it a little easier to see.

That's when I realized that the storage room seemed to be filled with a lot of things.

Overall, it looks like a place that has been abandoned for a long time.

The room was filled with a faint, putrid smell.

It felt as if some living thing had been dead for a long time.

"Master, it's one thing for the boss to run away, but why is he leaving behind such a stench!"

It smells like rotten raw meat!

At that moment, the Thunder Strike Sword sounded like thunder in his mind.

I was also puzzled.

Yes, this place is sparsely populated, not to mention that it's located after the roundabout.

Even if someone did come, the hotel is completely dark, so no one would knock on the door.

I even started to wonder once again how this hotel managed to stay in business.

Even if I were a local resident living in the shallow waters around here, I wouldn't choose this kind of environment, let alone be someone who came here to collect sea marrow.

Could it be that this boss has a hobby of keeping small animals?

I carefully smelled the aroma, and when we arrived at the door of the storage room, I was completely stunned.

Blocking the doorway was a somewhat hairy leg of lamb.

The surrounding area was filled with densely packed, foul-smelling downy fur that no one would find repulsive.

Yiyi quickly took a step back.

This place has been sitting here for so long, and it's a storage room, so why are there sheep here?

I then tried looking at the top of this area.

All the windows were sealed shut.

However, upon closer inspection, it seemed as if tiny fingers were tapping on the glass outside the window.

You absolutely cannot perceive that sound unless you listen very carefully.

But now, he's like a stone hanging in my heart.

This thing... has never appeared before, even when Fatty Zhou was around.

Even Yi Yi and Lei Jijian didn't sense anything.

Why did the fat man suddenly disappear and then all these strange sounds and smells appear?

Yiyi and I stopped going forward and instead began exploring the interior of the storage room.

That area should be completely sealed off.

After walking back for a while, we discovered another hidden door.

The door was very old and only about 1 meter high, requiring one to bend over to pass through.

Continuing deeper, we arrived at a relatively spacious and bright room.

I was incredibly excited watching this scene.

Holy crap, does that mean there are rooms with lights on in here?

I tapped around and pointed it out to the girl.

"Brother, the lights here aren't weak, how come we didn't notice them at first?"

Hearing her words, my heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, we should have been able to see this light much earlier when we were outside.

However, at the time, I didn't notice anything at all.

There was only a little light on the third floor of the entire building.

Moreover, based on the yin and yang aspects, I can guarantee it's definitely not this side.
