Xia Sen, watching Xu Yuehuai's conversation with those people and reflecting on everything they had said these past few days, suddenly realized that those people were probably being manipulated by someone.
Continuing to waste time with these people like this is not a good idea at all.
They absolutely could not do that; they had to find another way. He began to think about how they should continue their investigation.
Everything around him seemed to follow a pattern. He noticed that those people seemed very wary of Xu Yuehuai's questions and generally did not dare to answer her questions easily. This, on the contrary, proved that they were more likely to have some important information.
But they had no way of knowing what that information was!
“Sister, we need to change our strategy,” Xia Sen suggested.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai quickly looked up at him and then listened attentively beside him.
“They are clearly unwilling to answer our questions, and asking them repeatedly is not a solution. I think we need a more direct approach; only a direct approach can uncover the truth.”
"Okay, then let's do everything as you say."
Xu Yuehuai agreed to Xia Sen's suggestion. Although they were being held here, the area was actually quite large, and they could secretly observe many things around them. They began to investigate the place more thoroughly.
After a period of investigation, Xia Sen and Xu Yuehuai put together all the clues they had gathered.
They noticed that the architectural style of this place was somewhat unusual, which made them even more certain that this place must be hiding some secret.
Over the next few days, Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen continued their investigation in secret, trying their best to avoid the food delivery people to avoid attracting their attention.
"Sister, I think there's something wrong with that room. It's never opened normally."
“We’ve been here for a long time and haven’t seen anyone come out of that house.”
"I suspect there's something hidden in that house. Let's go take a look; maybe we can find something."
Xia Sen said to Xu Yuehuai.
"But we have no way to get out of this place now, and they are always guarding us."
"We have no way of seeing what's inside that room!"
Xu Yuehua sighed with her head down.
They observed the environment and searched everywhere, trying to find an escape route and any possible clues. They worked very hard, secretly searching all day long, hoping to find some useful information.
They wasted a lot of time, only to be disappointed once again.
Their investigation yielded no results. Everything around them was quite ordinary; there seemed to be nothing unusual about the place. Even if there were some unusual things, they simply couldn't find them.
Besides those strange people and their silence, the person who claimed to know them was also very strange.
But they hadn't seen them at all these days, which made Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen very frustrated.
However, just when they were about to give up, they suddenly seemed to have found something; they discovered a clue that might reveal the truth.
However, those clues were not enough for them to leave, so Xu Yuehuai continued to work hard, constantly communicating with those people, trying to get some clues from them.
After thinking it over carefully and preparing herself mentally, she spoke to those people.
"Can you tell me where this place is? Why are we being held here?"
"What's wrong with your king lately? Why hasn't he come to see us?"
"I'm just asking you some ordinary questions now. You should be able to answer them, right?"
After hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, those people all shook their heads and remained silent, indicating that they did not know.
But at that moment, something very unusual happened. One of the people spoke to Xu Yuehuai.
“We don’t know where we are either. We were forced into this situation. We were captured and brought here. Our only job is to deliver food. We don’t know anything else, let alone anything about the King.”
"We just hope you're doing well. There's nothing we can do to help you."
"But the people above told us that they would absolutely not let us hurt you."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything reckless, you'll be fine here."
Just then, another person next to me also spoke up.
“What he said is true. We always act according to the orders from above and follow their instructions. We come to deliver food to you and that’s all we are responsible for. We don’t know anything else. Even if you ask us a lot of questions, we still won’t know anything.”
Xu Yuehuai felt somewhat disappointed after hearing these words.
During this time, over the next few days, Xu Yuehuai carefully observed everything around her. She hoped to find some clues so she could escape.
She thought carefully about everything that had happened before, wondering who exactly that king was.
Why can't we catch them?
Then she felt that there must be a reason why those people were here, and there must be something strange about it.
"Sister, don't they really know what happened here?"
"They were also captured by that king."
Why did this king arrest them?
Xu Yuehuai shook her head and said, "I don't know about this either."
"Perhaps that king wanted to expand his power, so he arrested these people."
"We were also captured by that king, but he didn't really harm us."
"Let's keep looking for other clues; maybe we can escape from here."
She remained steadfast in her belief that something was amiss in the surroundings, and that perhaps there were some clues that, if examined carefully, could lead to their escape!
Thinking about this made her a little excited.
After having this idea, Xu Yuehuai began to pay attention to everything here.
At first, her actions did not go very smoothly.
Xu Yuehuai tried many times here, and after repeated failures, she kept trying.
They tried to find other clues, regardless of any other special reasons, but never succeeded.
Meanwhile, one day, she suddenly received a bowl containing food, and the bowl looked very strange.
