Seeing that they were about to leave, the two team members also responded: "Let's go too!"
Then they followed the path towards the ancient ship. Zhaxi, who stayed where he was, looked around, felt frightened, and followed them.
Night fell quickly in the camp outside the Devil City.
Zhang Qiling came to a deserted place alone, turned on the infrared flashlight in his hand and shone it into the distance.
A beam of infrared light also came from the opposite side and hit Zhang Qiling.
Then the infrared light disappeared, and Zhang Qiling returned to the camp along the same route.
Across the infrared line, a fat man looked through a telescope, then turned to a fierce-looking man next to him and asked, "Have you confirmed the location with the young man?"
The man replied with a "hmm".
They are Wang Yueban and Pan Zi.
"Then why is there three more signals?"
The man said, "The plan has changed. We won't be following them. Tomorrow morning we'll go pick up the young man and the Third Master first, and then reunite with the Third Master and the others."
The fat man looked incredulous and asked, "Who? Tian Zhen? Why is he here?"
"What's wrong?"
"If he knew I took his uncle's job behind his back, he'd definitely skin me alive!"
"Everyone knows you love money, it's not shameful." Pan Zi joked.
"Do I love money? It was the Third Master who came to me with relevant certificates and insisted on bringing me here for inspection." The fat man said unconfidently.
"Okay, let's not talk about the Third Master for now. Where is the expert you mentioned? When will he arrive?" Pan Zi asked.
"Ah... this... well, tomorrow morning, he will definitely arrive tomorrow morning! As a master, he always has to appear a little later, it's called face!" said the fat man guiltily.
In fact, the fat man didn't know when that person would arrive. They agreed to go together, but when they were about to set off, he changed his mind and insisted on coming alone. Now, he can't get through on the phone and doesn't know where the person is.
"Heh, tomorrow morning? It's good enough that he can come before going to the fields. Otherwise, he might have run away long ago." Pan Zi laughed.
"Bullshit!" The fat man scolded, then leaned close to Pan Zi and whispered, "I'm telling you, just say this in front of me. That guy has a bad temper. If you accidentally provoke him, you won't know how you died!"
"Is it that mysterious?" Pan Zi said with a look of disbelief.
"You must have it. That guy is very weird. You have to be careful." The fat man patted Pan Zi's shoulder.
"Do I need to tell you that?"
…
Here at Ji Huaichuan's place, the dark weather had no impact on him. A team of people groped their way inside slowly with flashlights.
The temperature will drop after dark, but no one has the heart to stop and rest now. Ji Huaichuan is in a hurry and Aning wants to find someone, so there is no time to delay.
As they got closer and closer to the ancient ship, they came to a stone wall and planned to climb up.
Ji Huaichuan sensed their intentions and quickly said, "I'm going to look for my things. I won't be going with you. I'm leaving first."
Then, without waiting for everyone to react, he turned around and continued walking forward. He didn't want to climb the rocks.
"Hey! Xiaochuan'er..." Wuxie was about to call him, but was stopped by Aning.
"Stop yelling. He obviously doesn't want us to follow him. Stop worrying about it."
"Okay..." Wuxie lowered his head a little disappointed.
Aning went back to the stone wall and observed it for a while. When he found that he could climb up, he took action.
After arranging the pick-up personnel, Aning climbed up the rock wall swiftly. Wuxie watched, put down his backpack and followed him up.
The stone wall was not very high and they climbed up quickly. Then they came to the deck of the ancient ship and looked around.
Speaking of Ji Huaichuan, after separating from Wuxie and the others, Ji Huaichuan heard that voice again, as if it was teasing him.
"Little Huaichuan, you're not cute at all when you say bad things about me everywhere."
The voice was vague, but Ji Huaichuan was sure that he was nearby and could indeed hear what he said.
Ji Huaichuan walked forward and asked impatiently, "What do you want?"
"Ah... I haven't seen Xiao Huaichuan for a long time, I miss you a lot." The voice still sounded out of tune.
"Were those people who entered the Devil City your doing?" Ji Huaichuan continued to ask, ignoring the man's frivolous answer.
"Yeah... Is Xiao Huaichuan feeling distressed?" One could faintly hear a sense of grievance in his voice.
"Why do this?" Ji Huaichuan frowned. This man had simply increased his workload.
"Of course it's because I want to talk to Xiao Huaichuan. I miss you so much..."
"You are disrespectful to your elders!" Ji Huaichuan felt a headache. He shouldn't have paid attention to this man. He had known that he would take advantage of others.
"Aren't you disrespectful? Ah... Is Xiao Huaichuan angry?" There was a sarcastic tone in his words.
Ji Huaichuan ignored him and continued to grope his way forward, but because he walked too fast, he almost tripped over the gravel.
"Oh, why are you so careless?" the voice gloated.
Ji Huaichuan remained silent and just walked forward with his head down. Perhaps he felt bored. The voice remained silent for a long time. I don’t know if he had left or not.
Ji Huaichuan made a big circle and entered the cabin from the back of the ancient ship. He quietly avoided Wuxie, Aning and others and came to a hidden corner.
There was a jet-black box with a dragon pattern on it. Ji Huaichuan brushed off the dust on it with his hand and carefully put it into his backpack.
That voice suddenly sounded
"Hey, Xiao Huaichuan cares about me so much."
The box with dragon pattern is his urn.
"If you say one more word, I will burn everything inside." Ji Huaichuan threatened.
"It's just a handful of ashes. No need to burn it, just pour it out." The voice sounded indifferent.
Ji Huaichuan lowered his eyes and said softly, "I know what's inside, you don't have to pretend."
The voice paused for a long moment before continuing, "...I'm also at fault in this matter. The coffin up there is your brother, right? Do you want to go see him?"
"No, it just adds to the sadness."
Ji Huaichuan rejected him. His brother's death was still vivid in his mind. He initially believed that it was done by that charlatan, but later he found out that the charlatan who took him away was actually controlled by someone!
After his brother died, he was not actually sent back, but hid during the chaos. He watched in the dark as the charlatan was controlled, and his father and brother were deceived in the name of immortality and then killed.
At that time, the charlatan could kill him with just one finger, so he must not act impulsively.
The killing lasted for three whole days. My father and brother were tortured beyond recognition and were eventually tortured to death by the charlatan.
The second after his father and brother died, the charlatan also fainted. This was a good opportunity and Ji Huaichuan could not let it go. He came to the charlatan and was about to kill him for revenge, but he found that the charlatan was in a wrong state.
After all, he was his master. Out of humanitarianism, Ji Huaichuan took his pulse and found a poison in his body. Ji Huaichuan realized the seriousness of the matter. This was a conspiracy against the entire Zhou Dynasty royal family!
