Wu Zhiguo glanced at me sideways: "Do you have the right to negotiate with me now? Either you stay trapped here or you get out."
As he spoke, Wu Zhiguo turned to the side and gestured for them to proceed.
And the hands that Luo Tianhe and I could never let go of are now easily lifted.
As we raised our hands, a passage radiating a soft light suddenly appeared in the starry sky before us.
At the end of the passage, a familiar scene could be faintly seen.
"This is the passageway you will take to leave. Follow it and you will be able to leave here safely."
Wu Zhiguo said.
He paused, then added, "I know who let you in. You don't need to pay attention to Lin Zimeng; she can't hurt you. But one thing: once you leave, never set foot in Sanjiapo again."
Luo Tianhe and I exchanged a glance, still filled with doubts, but we had no better options at the moment.
We walked cautiously towards the passage, remaining highly vigilant with every step, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.
Wu Zhiguo stood still, quietly watching us, his smile unreadable.
Even after we actually stepped out of the Xuanpin Furnace and onto the plaza outside, I still found it hard to believe.
Luo Tianhe also frowned, completely baffled.
"Old Chen, do you think Wu Zhiguo has lost his mind? Why did he let us go? And why is he not going to pursue the matter at all? This doesn't make sense!"
I shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile, "How would I know what he's up to? This guy is always deep and cunning; who can guess what he's thinking?"
"So what do we do now?"
I raised my hand and rubbed my throbbing head. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Let's leave here first. Every second we stay here increases the danger. Who knows if Wu Zhiguo will suddenly change his mind? If he really changes his mind, we might not be able to get out of here."
From the moment I stepped into Sanjiapo, I had a vague feeling that everything was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.
Lin Zimeng directed us to the Mysterious Female Furnace, claiming that once inside, all the truths would be revealed.
But when we finally manage to get in after overcoming many difficulties, it feels as if we are being guided by an invisible hand, moving forward step by step.
Every discovery, every breakthrough, seems to be following a pre-written script.
We are like two manipulated chess pieces, blindly moving forward in this mysterious game, and then helping people unravel the mystery step by step.
Now, having just solved those mysteries, he was easily released by Wu Zhiguo.
This is all so inexplicable.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. I turned around and was about to ask Luo Tianhe if he felt the same way.
But as soon as I turned my head, I was struck dumb, frozen in place.
Luo Tianhe, who was standing next to me, was gone, replaced by an old man with gray hair.
He was wearing Luo Tianhe's clothes, which looked a bit loose on him, with the cuffs drooping slightly.
He walked forward with his head down and heavy steps.
Just then, the old man spoke again, his voice as aged as the tolling of an ancient bell.
"Old Chen, I still feel something's not right. Everything is too inexplicable."
I stared at him blankly, my mouth slightly open, but I couldn't say a word.
The shock in my heart was like a surging tide, crashing against my nerves wave after wave.
My mind is filled with—
Brother Luo, why do you suddenly look so old?
Perhaps not hearing my response, the old man, Luo Tianhe, slowly turned his head.
When his gaze fell on me, his eyes widened instantly, and his expression froze.
"Old Chen... Holy crap, Old Chen, you... how did you get so old?"
