"This isn't a coincidence!" Number 3's eyes were filled with coldness. "What's more, they barely concealed this. This news is known throughout the continent. You can easily get here by asking anyone! It's clearly a trap!"
"So... we're not going?" No. 1 scratched his head, looking confused.
Traps and the like... these things are still too complicated for him!
"No! Of course we have to go. If it's a trap, there must be something to attract us... The expedition team that came down earlier might really be there!" Number 3 rejected his suggestion. "But I'm being watched the whole time. Every time I get close to that house, I get targeted by something very dangerous!"
"Dangerous things?" To be honest, when he was being pulled by No. 3 to run, he didn't feel any danger at all, he just felt very tired.
"Right! If we want to explore that house, we have to find someone to go there. It's best if we don't show up ourselves! That way, if that person gets caught, we can escape quickly!" Number 3 crossed his arms, a look of deep thought. "Unfortunately, since I came here, I've mostly been walking in the mountains and rarely going into the city. If I want to find someone now..."
It’s really too difficult!
They want to find someone who is skilled enough but not too smart, who can be intimidated by them and report the information to them obediently!
After hearing the request from No. 3, No. 1 looked confused.
They couldn't even find anyone to help them get into the mountains, and they still had so many demands...
Number 1 hesitated to speak. He really wanted to say, "Give up! The right thing to do is to dig up more local plants and exchange them for money!"
Unfortunately, No. 3 was originally a mecha warrior, and protecting the people was almost a belief engraved in his bones. He would never allow himself to give up at this time even though he had already found the clues!
[No. 3 is so persistent! But why doesn't he just go by himself?]
Number 3 actually has sinister intentions. He deliberately used Number 1 as bait, which keeps him safe. If he gets caught, Number 1 will definitely be the first to suffer!
[Shut up! Look at the way No. 3 walks! He must have been accidentally injured just now, so he had to find someone else. Not only can you not help, but you're also slandering others!]
Number 3 was indeed injured.
Just now, he was worried that both he and No. 1 were killed by that terrifying existence, so he used all his life's strength to run wildly. Because he exerted too much force and the mountain road was rugged, he accidentally sprained his ankle.
Fortunately, the injury is not particularly serious. As long as he massages it over the next few days, it will gradually heal on its own.
But in order to get better as soon as possible, he'd better not move around anymore to avoid aggravating the injury.
"...This task is left to you! Go to the street and try to find some beggars or the like to inquire about the whereabouts of No. 2!" No. 3 patted No. 1 on the shoulder with a heavy face.
Seeing his expression, No. 1 suddenly felt a little flustered, but soon he was confused again: "Why look for No. 2? Shouldn't the first thing we do be to go to that room and see if the person who was there is still alive?"
Number 3 was speechless for a moment, but still patiently explained, "There are only you and me here. It's almost impossible for the two of us to get to that house on our own! Look how badly we ran just now... We know there's a terrifying existence on the other side, but what exactly is that terrifying existence? Is it a person, a group of people, or a group of animals?"
"We can't even break through that terrifying existence, so we need allies, understand? No. 2 will never betray us! But if you look for the natives, they may betray you!" No. 3 explained with difficulty.
In reality, Number 3 was desperate to find Number 2! But that was mainly because Number 2 was more reliable! Compared to Number 1, Number 2 was much more clever, and whether it was disguise, gathering intelligence, or having a good memory, he could do it very well.
Let No. 1 do the work, he is afraid!
No. 1 didn't know what No. 3 was really thinking. He just listened to his instructions silently, painted his face black with mud, and messed up his hair, as if he had just rolled in a coal mine before entering the city.
No. 3 dragged his painful leg and hid not far from the city gate, praying silently in his heart.
[Speechless! Absolutely speechless! Number 2 has been arrested! Number 1 can't be found no matter how hard we look!]
[They should just give up! Ugh! They got the order wrong. If they had gone to the house first, they would have known that number 2 was also arrested!]
[I don't know if Number 1 can find it...hiss—look at Number 1's live stream!]
"Really?!" No. 1 looked excited and rubbed his hands as he looked at the beggar sitting on the ground.
The beggar nodded and smiled mysteriously. "Yes, I have indeed seen the person you are talking about... He was wearing clothes similar to yours, had a longer face, thinner lips, almond-shaped eyes, and thick eyebrows, right?"
Number 1 was silent. He tried to recall Number 2's face, but the image was already a little blurry.
After listening to the beggar's words, he nodded hesitantly.
After all, the beggar spoke so realistically, he must have really seen No. 2, otherwise how could he describe it so accurately?
The beggar grinned with his yellow teeth, his eyes full of brilliance. "Yes! I have indeed seen this man. Is he related to you? Why are you looking for him so urgently?"
"Um, yes, he is a relative of my neighbor. After he ran away from home, the whole village was very worried! So we all came to the city to look for him!" No. 1 was stunned for a moment, recalling what No. 3 taught him, and barely fooled the person in front of him.
