Missing and Searching
Ever since Xu Rongxuan went to look for Thyme that day, he hasn't been seen since. Not only that, Thyme has also suddenly vanished! Yue Lanxiu deduces that something must have happened to the two of them, and that this incident must be connected to Yan Mingchi! Now that the truth has been revealed, is he planning to silence them?!
Damn it! Yue Lanxiu regretted not going with Xu Rongxuan that night! When he realized that Yan Mingchi might appear at the clinic and rushed over, it was too late!
Bad things happened one after another. The murder of Luosha's apprentice had not been resolved yet, and Luosha himself received an anonymous threatening letter!
The main content of the letter was that someone would come to take his life within three days!
At this time, a group of people were discussing this matter in Luosha's study.
"You said that the person who sent this letter to kill my master is the same person who killed my junior brother?" Yue Lanjing called Yue Lanxiu as soon as he read the letter. At this time, he only trusted Yue Lanxiu and believed that only Yue Lanxiu could help him.
"I think it should be done by the same person." Yue Lanxiu frowned with doubt in his eyes.
There was an expression of approval on Yue Lanjing's face, and they all thought of Yan Mingchi.
"Who could it be? We must catch him before he hurts Master!" Shui Wulian and Luosha sat together on the sofa. She held Luosha's hand tightly, not daring to let go. Luosha looked like he had lost all hope in life. He had been in this state since his disciples died one after another. He felt that he had killed them. If he hadn't asked them to seek revenge, they wouldn't have left him! He was the one who deserved to die the most!
"I can't be sure who it is, but it's definitely not Chao Rirou! She is now locked up by the police and is being watched closely. It is impossible for her to run out to send letters or kill people!" Li Kexiao and Hua Chuyu stood by the floor-to-ceiling window. One of them looked out the window with his hands in his pockets, thinking deeply, while Li Kexiao leaned against the window with his arms folded over his chest, looking at Yue Lanjing.
These two brothers were called by Yue Lanxiu.
"I forgot to tell you, this letter was sent the day before Chao Rirou was locked up. It's not necessarily true that she sent it! Besides, even if Yan Mingchi is the mastermind, Chao Rirou is definitely an accomplice! She is definitely not wronged in jail!" Shui Wulian insisted that it was Chao Rirou. She really didn't understand why Yue Lanxiu brought these people with the surname Li! Didn't they know that they now have a blood feud?
"I think you are taking this opportunity to take revenge! I really need to remind you that even if Chao Rirou is locked up, Yue Lanjing won't even look at you!" Li Kexiao also knows how to hit the sore spot.
"You——" Shui Wulian suddenly became angry and embarrassed.
"Now is not the time to quarrel. We should think about how to avoid more victims!" Yue Lanxiu interrupted their untimely quarrel.
"Although the powerful alliance between the black and white forces has protected your master impenetrably, the person who wrote the threatening letter could have launched a surprise attack, but he insisted on notifying us in advance. He must have made sufficient preparations and knew who he would have to deal with and how to deal with them. He must have been very confident! If he is Yan Mingchi, based on his past crimes, there is no iron wall he cannot break! He can find a way to sneak into places where mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches cannot enter! So don't count on the number of people to protect your master. A large number of people will only cause confusion!"
"Because he is good at disguise! There is a high possibility that he can disguise himself as one of our own and sneak in!" Yue Lanjing continued his words with a serious expression.
"Yes, so except for a few of us who can be trusted, no one else can be fully trusted! But during these few days, it is best for us to stay together and absolutely avoid acting alone to avoid being replaced!" Yue Lanxiu reminded.
"Wait!" Li Kexiao interrupted with a frown, "From what you're saying, we have to protect this old man too! Or do you not trust us and want to keep us under your watch? I have no objection to the latter, as it just proves we have nothing to do with this matter! But if you want me to protect this old man, there's absolutely no way!"
Yue Lanxiu suddenly came over and started rubbing and pinching his face. Li Kexiao angrily slapped his hand away, "What are you doing?"
"You suddenly became so thoughtful that I was shocked. I thought you had been replaced!"
"Get out of here! I'm leaving!"
Yue Lanxiu grabbed his shoulder and stopped him, "I was just praising you, why are you being so ignorant again?! We now have a common enemy called Yan Mingchi. Although his current target is Luosha, there's no guarantee that after he kills Luosha, he won't target you! I know you're powerful, but you alone are no match for him. Besides, you have a weakness! Your women are your weakness!"
The last sentence made Li Kexiao stop struggling.
"So what do you plan to ask us to do?" Hua Chuyu was much calmer, and still looked thoughtful.
Yue Lanxiu said what he was thinking. Their personal grudge with Yue Lanjing could be put aside for the time being, because getting rid of Yan Mingchi was the most important thing right now. He couldn't be allowed to continue to harm Chao Rirou! And to get rid of Yan Mingchi, Yue Lanjing was also an indispensable force!
"I want to hide his master in..." Before Yue Lanxiu could finish his words, Shui Wulian objected coldly, "Are you sure you're not sending a sheep to a tiger by asking them to protect the master?"
"The tiger now just wants to prove that he didn't eat the sheep. If he chooses to eat the sheep at this juncture, it is equivalent to taking all the blame on himself!" Yue Lanjing believes that Hua Chuyu and the others are not so stupid. They will not let hatred dominate their brains and commit crimes under the noses of the police. At this time, the better they do their protection work, the more they can prove that they have nothing to do with the assailant! "I think this method is feasible! I think the assailant must think that our two families are currently in a state of hostility, so he would never think that we would hand over the master to the enemy for protection! So the master is hiding where you said, I think it is feasible!"
"I think your master is definitely not a sheep, but a wolf in sheep's clothing! It's just that this wolf is now scared by a ghost and looks more like a quail!" Li Kexiao scolded rudely.
Shui Wulian couldn't help but burst into tears, but under Yue Lanjing's gaze, she gritted her teeth and swallowed all her dissatisfaction.
"What if Yan Mingchi has thought of it? He is not only well-developed in limbs, but also in brains!" Guan Shaoling, who had been sitting on the armrest of the sofa and smoking, suddenly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said.
"I'm just afraid he won't expect it!" Hua Chuyu's dark eyes flashed with a sharp light as he slanted towards Yue Lanxiu and said, "You can hide him anywhere you want, but don't expect me to protect him. To me, he's just a bait. I have only one goal: to pull the real criminal out of the dark!"
Yue Lanxiu agreed, "You're right! Our ultimate goal is to catch him! We must stop him from doing evil in secret!"
"You are crazy! Do you think you can catch him?!" Shui Wulian still objected.
"We can't escape anymore. Instead of staying like this passive, we might as well take the initiative. Now it's not him who wants to kill us, it's us who want to kill him! I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't deal with him! He is the one who is going to be beaten up now, we have nothing to be afraid of!" Yue Lanjing said with high morale.
His words perked up the depressed Luosha! He couldn't be defeated here! He wanted revenge! He wanted to bite Yan Mingchi's flesh and gnaw on his bones...
Just when they were in high spirits and ready to fight, news suddenly came from the prison that Asahiro had escaped from prison an hour ago!
If everyone's fighting spirit is compared to a fully inflated balloon, then this news is undoubtedly a sharp needle, and at least four balloons present were popped!
"How could this happen?" Yue Lanxiu suddenly sat down on the sofa powerlessly, not understanding how she could escape from prison at this critical moment?
Could she do such a thing in her current physical condition? The answer is definitely no! So how did she escape so successfully?
Is someone secretly helping her? This isn't helping her at all; it's actually harming her! Yes! This is harming her! Yue Lanxiu suddenly realized something!
Shui Wulian stood up excitedly, "If she didn't escape from prison, how could she kill people! It's obvious, she was the one who said she was going to kill people! There's no Yan Mingchi at all! It was Zhao Rirou who was behind all this! She's really amazing, she even managed to escape from prison! We were all fooled by her sickly appearance!" Finally, she glared at Hua Chuyu and the others, "Will you still arrest people?!"
"Yes!" Hua Chuyu said without hesitation, the determination in his dark eyes growing stronger. He fixed his gaze on Yue Lanjing, "I will definitely bring him to you and let you see the truth!"
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Yue Lanjing slowly said, "Okay!"
Although it was only one word, it contained full trust, indicating that the previous plan was still feasible!
Rather than saying they trust each other, it's better to say they trust Asahirou! At least their desire to save Asahirou is the same! It hasn't changed!
Next, the police mobilized most of their forces to track down the fugitive Asahirou, believing that if they could capture her, Luosha would be safe! The police had already determined that Asahirou was the one who had threatened to kill Luosha!
Yue Lanxiu firmly believed that this was Yan Mingchi's scheme! It wasn't that Zhao Rirou escaped from prison, it was that he was forcing a prison break! Zhao Rirou must have been captured by him! His purpose was to continue taking the blame for him!
Where would Yan Mingchi imprison Chao Rirou? Just as he was worrying about this question, he also received an anonymous letter.
There was only an address written on it, saying that the person he was looking for would be there!
He was also reminded that he had to find a plum blossom-shaped mark first, and the other party took the trouble to draw a string of plum blossoms!
Yue Lanxiu set off immediately. No matter what the purpose of the person who wrote the letter was, even if he was full of malicious intent, he would go and investigate.
What kind of dangerous and dangerous place would be waiting for him? He had thought about it a lot along the way, but he never expected that it would be an ordinary abandoned village house.
There were some worn-out furniture inside, but no signs of anyone having lived there for a long time. He searched everywhere but couldn't find any plum blossom mark!
There seemed to be no one around for a hundred miles. There were trees, quite a few, but none of them were plum trees! The scenery around me looked more and more familiar. I wondered if I'd been here before, but I couldn't place it. I wandered around again, not far, but still didn't have a strong impression.
So he went back to the dilapidated house and decided to search it carefully again to see if there was anything he had missed. Maybe there was a mechanism in the house.
He walked into a room, which should be a study. There were many bookshelves in it, and many books on them. The first time he entered this room, he just took a quick glance, but this time he focused his attention on the bookshelves.
There were four bookshelves, three of which were covered in cobwebs, but one was completely devoid of any. Wasn't that odd? It looked like someone had cleaned it, but why only this shelf? Was there a mechanism? His eyes searched carefully, and just like that, he found the plum blossom symbol on the spine of a book!
He excitedly tried to pick it up, but found that he couldn't lift it. Could it be a mechanism? The knowledgeable man immediately thought of it.
He tried moving it left and right, and as expected, the bookshelf moved away automatically, just like in martial arts novels, and then a path leading to the basement appeared before him.
He walked down the stairs without hesitation. It was very dark down there and he couldn't find any light switches. He turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and continued walking forward cautiously.
With the dim light, it can be seen that this is a passage only about one meter wide. There are ordinary walls on both sides, and the top also looks ordinary. There is a turn a few dozen steps ahead.
Because he didn't expect someone to appear at the corner, he was so scared that he screamed.
“Oh my god—” Is it a human or a ghost? Why is there no sound or movement at all! Yue Lanxiu covered his throbbing heart and glared at it.
"Welcome home, master!" Although the voice was a little strange, it was gentle and sweet. It was obvious that she was a woman no older than twenty years old, and it was easy for people to let down their guard.
"She's hiding around the corner and suddenly popping up. This isn't welcoming mode, this is scaring me to death!" Yue Lanxiu shone the light towards her and was startled again. This, this, this is a puppet! A puppet dressed as a maid!
The puppet's eyes suddenly lit up. I have to say, it was so realistic. These eyes looked like a real person's, as if they were thinking about something!
She continued, "That's not the master's voice."
Yue Lanxiu thought that he was actually a puppet robot. No wonder his voice sounded weird and mechanical.
"It's not like the master either."
"It seems that you are not an ordinary robot! You can even use your brain to think!" Yue Lanxiu laughed, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore!
"Who are you?"
"I'm a friend of your master. Where is your master? Can you take me to him?"
"My master has no friends, you are lying."
Was it his imagination? He suddenly felt that the robot's eyes had turned hostile.
Just as I was thinking of saying something else, it said, "Close the door and sweep the dog."
"What?" I felt something was wrong, but it was too late, the door at the entrance was closed!
"Uh, aren't you going to kick me out? Why did you close the door?" Could it be referring to closing the door and beating the dog? Yue Lanxiu took a few cautious steps back, wondering how it was going to hit him.
Suddenly, it raised its right hand, and a long and thin thing suddenly grew out of its palm. At first glance, it looked like a wooden stick until he saw the muzzle of a gun!
"Oh my god!" Yue Lanxiu cried out again! Was this true?! Regardless of whether it was real or not, his body reacted faster than his brain. He kicked the dangerous object in front of him and quickly fled!
Before he had uttered the last word, a deafening, incessant, and deadly clatter rang out in his ears! The scene was suddenly engulfed in a hail of bullets, sparks flew, and the air was filled with smoke!
He squatted down and moved in a spinning motion, like a ball, rolling here, rolling there, and finally disappearing around the next corner!
The robot fired wildly while moving in the direction he disappeared.
After turning the corner, there was still a dark passage. Yue Lanxiu was not seen in the long passage, so the robot stopped shooting.
The surroundings finally returned to calm, so quiet that Yue Lanxiu could even hear his own heartbeat! Boom, boom, boom, it was beating so loudly that he was really afraid the robots below would hear it!
That's right! He was hiding in the corner above the robot's head, his limbs spread out, bracing himself against the wall, staring down at it in a state of dread, afraid that its next move would be to raise its head and look up!
This robot girl is so fierce! It turns out the "sweep" it says really means "strafe!" Maybe he'll really die here! Is there any way to control it?
"The target has disappeared, start the search mode." The thing was still saying these terrifying words below!
It’s over! It’ll find me soon! Yue Lanxiu’s forehead was covered in sweat.
He saw it moving slowly, with its head rotating 360 degrees left and right. Just when he thought that was all its functions, it actually raised its head!
As it moved, Yue Lanxiu's heart beat into his throat. The next second he had no choice but to give it his all. He jumped down from above, concentrated all his strength on his right leg, aimed at its sweeping hand, and kicked it forward in the air. Just like that, the hand that was like a machine gun was kicked off and flew away!
"Very good!" He did a beautiful backflip and landed perfectly.
"Target found! Activate bombardment mode." The robot said something more dangerous indifferently.
"What?!" The smile on his face froze before it could even unfold. "Cannon...cannon fire? Can it be so awesome?!"
As he slipped away, he couldn't help but look back to see where it was going to fire the cannonball.
Her body could be opened on both sides like a cabinet, and inside was a dazzling array of grenades of all types! !
"Oh my god!" Yue Lanxiu called out for the third time! Who the hell created such a dangerous weapon? Aren't they afraid of destroying their own home?
The sound of artillery shells and the sound of collapse came one after another behind him. He used all his strength to run forward. For the first time, he felt that there was really death chasing him!
This passage is really long and winding!
There was suddenly no movement behind him. Yue Lanxiu thought that robots were really powerful. When they got ruthless, they could even bury him!
I guess it can’t catch up! Yue Lanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn’t laugh. After all the random bombing just now, this place could collapse at any time. He had to find another exit quickly!
Suddenly he noticed that there were several iron doors on both sides of the passage. Was there a room behind these doors, or would it lead to another place?
As he was considering whether to open one of the doors and take a look, a sound came from the door on his right, as if someone inside was about to open the door!
He subconsciously stepped back, waiting for the person inside to come out, but he never expected that the terrifying robot that opened the door and walked out would be the one from before! Its remaining left hand was holding a grenade!
"We've found the target, start bombarding..."
Without giving it a chance to switch functions, he instinctively unleashed a high sweeping kick, this time aiming for its head! He figured the core vital components must be located there. If he destroyed its CPU, he'd see how it could command the rest of its body!
This time it was its head that was kicked away, and then he quickly picked up its head and smashed it hard against the wall until it was rotten and smoking!
Once the robot's head broke, all other parts immediately lost all functions. Its left hand suddenly became powerless and loosened, and the grenade it had been holding tightly fell to the ground.
The sharp-eyed Yue Lanxiu chose to escape quickly between catching the grenade and escaping. As a result, the grenade exploded again, blowing down the walls of several other rooms!
There was someone locked in the room, originally asleep, but with such a loud commotion, it was hard not to wake up.
Yue Lanxiu saw a figure slowly rising from the ruins. He flashed his phone's flashlight and shone it over. Although he couldn't make out the face clearly, the slender figure was incredibly familiar! He was pleasantly surprised to discover it was the person he was looking for! She was truly there!
Asahirou looked at the mess in front of her drowsily. She must be dreaming again!
Otherwise, why would she suddenly come to such a place when she is still in police custody?
It’s just that my head hurts so much, the pain doesn’t feel like a dream, it feels very real!
"Xiao Rou..." A cheering voice came to my ears.
Just as she was wondering why the voice sounded so much like Yue Lanxiu, she saw his figure running towards her.
Sure enough, she must still be dreaming! Maybe she missed him too much, so he appeared in her dream.
He hugged her tightly, and she felt a little pain, but why did it hurt in a dream? She didn't care about it anymore, and hugged him back, tightly, afraid that he would disappear in a moment!
His embrace was indeed warm, so warm that one didn't want to leave. This dream was so real!
"That man didn't lie to me! You are really here!" If he can get out alive, he must thank him very much!
No, she must get out alive! He won't let her die in such a place!
"Let me see if you're hurt?" Thinking of the explosion just now, his hands were shaking with fear. He had almost caused her to be blown up...
"Don't move! Just hold me like this!" But just holding him wasn't enough to satisfy her. She climbed up his neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him! Anyway, in her dream, she could do whatever she wanted.
Yue Lanxiu was flattered and didn't understand why she was so enthusiastic, but he soon became intoxicated by it.
"This dream is too real!" They kissed until they were breathless. She collapsed in his arms, reluctantly pulling away from his lips, but still so close that their noses touched. His heartbeat matched hers, his breathing matched hers...it all felt so real!
"You think this is a dream?"
"Isn't it?"
"Although being able to hug you again feels like a dream, you can touch me and feel if I really exist!" Yue Lanxiu took her hand, put it against his face, and slowly moved it to his chest, and continued to move down...
As if scalded, Asahirou pulled her hand back. She could clearly feel her face burning, and the "fire" gradually spread throughout her body, leaving her mouth dry and parched...
If he didn't still have a shred of rationality left in him, knowing that the situation was not right, he would never let her break free from his hand.
"Now is not the time to discuss dreams and reality. We have to find a way to leave here. As you can see, this place is very dangerous. After an explosion, this kind of basement can easily collapse! There may be many invisible dangers! We must be vigilant and be cautious!" Yue Lanxiu asked her to follow him closely, and he held her hand tightly regardless of whether she agreed or not.
In fact, how could she not agree!
It was rare for him to speak to her with such a serious look and tone, and Asahirou realized the seriousness of the matter. But with him around, or being able to be with him, she wasn't bothered by this predicament at all.
"Hmm! So where is this place?" The two discussed the problem while looking for an exit.
"So you have no idea how you got in, who brought you in, and what happened outside." Yue Lanxiu thought that she had been given sleeping pills or something, so she had no idea what happened throughout the whole process.
"I fell asleep and woke up in a place like this. Was I drugged again? Who did it? What was his purpose?" The first person that came to Zhao Rirou's mind was Yan Mingchi, but she couldn't guess what kind of evil he was going to do!
"It must be Yan Mingchi who did it! He wants you to continue taking the blame for him! He still hasn't killed one person!"
"Who else is he going to kill?!" Chao Rirou was shocked, worried that he would target Hua Chuyu and the others.
"Rakshasa!" Yue Lanxiu told her what had happened at Rakshasa's place in the past two days.
"Can Hua Chuyu and the others catch him? Can they deal with him? Don't let Luosha be killed and Yan Mingchi escape without a trace, then Hua Chuyu will have to bear all the sins!" Chao Rirou said anxiously.
"We have thought of everything you have thought of, but only by combining the strength of so many people can we drag Yan Mingchi from the darkness into the light!" In fact, Yue Lanxiu was still worried, because he could not be at the scene, so he had to ask his master for help. Fortunately, his master's wife was fine, and his master had already rushed to Luosha!
"Let's find a way out quickly!" Asahiro forced herself to calm down and solve the problem at hand first.
Suddenly, there were loud bangs coming from the front.
"Was there another explosion?"
"It doesn't sound like an explosion, more like someone kicking an iron door!" Yue Lanxiu speculated, looking at the room with the iron door. "There are multiple rooms here, maybe more than one person is imprisoned here!"
Yue Lanxiu suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but quicken his pace and run forward.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you know? Rongxuan and Thyme are also missing. I wonder if they are also imprisoned here?"
"What?! Yan Mingchi attacked them too?!"
"I think so. I'll tell you the details later!"
Clang—this was the last sound made by the iron door, and then footsteps were heard. It was obvious that the people in the room had successfully escaped!
Yue Lanxiu turned off the lights and signaled Zhao Rirou to stop making any more noise. "Until we're completely sure it's them, we'd better be cautious!"
Asahiro nodded, and the two of them leaned against the wall, holding their breath as they listened to the footsteps getting closer.
The other party walked very lightly and cautiously, but that didn't stop Yue Lanxiu from judging that there were two people.
The other party had no lighting tools, so in this pitch-black place, we could only rely on sound to determine where the other party was.
The footsteps of the two men had reached them and were about to pass by them. At this moment, the other party suddenly attacked Asahiro with precision.
Yue Lanxiu reacted faster than Zhao Rirou and blocked the attack for her.
Asahirou's current physical condition not only causes her fighting power to drop significantly, but also her reaction ability is not as good as before!
After feeling around the man's body and head, Yue Lanxiu was completely sure who it was, "Rong Xuan! It's me!"
"Xiu?" The other party recognized his voice immediately. Although the movement stopped, the force was still there, pinching his injured arm.
"Hiss--" Yue Lanxiu made a sound of pain, and then he realized that he had wounds on his body, and not just one.
"Are you injured? The wound is still bleeding!" Xu Rongxuan immediately withdrew his hand and judged based on the touch.
"Did he hurt you? Where did he hurt you?" Chao Rirou asked nervously.
"He didn't hurt me. It must be from the robot attack!" Yue Lanxiu recalled the hail of bullets and was still terrified. Even if he was lucky enough not to be hit by a bullet, he was still scratched by the flying shrapnel! "It's nothing serious, just a scratch! It's not a wound at all to me!"
Still worried, Zhao Rirou asked him to turn on the light on his phone. Seeing that he had at least a dozen scars, large and small, deep and shallow, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and she felt distressed. "Wounds can easily become infected and inflamed. How can we not take it seriously? We need to get out of here quickly!"
"Why is Chao Rirou here?" Xu Rongxuan looked at the person who should be detained by the police in surprise.
"It's a long story. Xiangxiang is here too, right?" Chao Rirou looked behind him.
"Yeah." Thyme hid behind Xu Rongxuan, not daring to face her, and not knowing how to face her.
"Are you okay? I heard from Xiu that it was Yan Mingchi who captured you. Did he do anything to you?" Chao Rirou walked towards her with concern.
"I'm fine!" Thyme blamed herself so much that she wanted to cry. How could she help someone who never cared about her to frame someone who cared about her so much?! Holding back her tears, she asked worriedly, "How about you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine too!"
"Do you know how to get out?" Yue Lanxiu asked. She was one of Yan Mingchi's followers, so she should know other exits.
Asahirou wondered why she had to ask Thyme, how would she know?
Thyme felt the indifference and alienation, and she believed that Yue Lanxiu also knew the truth!
"I know an exit that leads to an abandoned old house. I think you should know it. Didn't you come in from there?"
Hearing her ask this, Yue Lanxiu immediately thought, "Were you the one who wrote the anonymous letter asking me to come here to look for someone?"
"Yeah." At this point, Thyme didn't intend to hide it anymore. "I knew he had this plan a long time ago, and I guessed he would hide Xiaorou here, because this is the only secret base of his that hasn't been discovered!"
"Thank you!" Yue Lanxiu thanked her sincerely. If she hadn't been so soft-hearted, how could he have found Xiaorou so quickly!
"Don't ever say that again!" Thyme was almost ashamed.
Chao Rirou's doubts grew deeper and deeper, her gaze lingering between Yue Lanxiu and Bailixiang. "Why did you ask her about Yan Mingchi's affairs, and why are you familiar with Yan Mingchi's affairs?"
Her answer was silence!
The silence made the atmosphere heavy.
Asahirou was certain that the three of them were hiding something from her. "Is there something you can't tell me?"
Xu Rongxuan and Yue Lanxiu both gave Thyme the opportunity to tell the truth.
Thyme also wanted to explain it to her in person, but as soon as she thought about the end of their friendship after she said it, she couldn't utter a word.
Although she couldn't make a sound, her eyes were full of remorse.
Zhao Rirou seemed to understand something, and her eyes became sad. "Are you really Yan Mingchi's man?"
The other three looked at her in surprise. It turned out that she knew it!
"When did you know?" Yue Lanxiu wondered, was it when they were analyzing the case together?
"I don't know." Zhao Rirou stared at Thyme, who was also staring at her. "I only know that there's a bottle of medicine in your room that's used to speed up the recovery of my power! Every time I'm reborn in someone else's body, I ask you for this medicine! But I didn't ask you this time, and I don't think you prepared it for me. Then who was it for? I thought about it for a long time and thought of someone who should really need this medicine! But whether it's for him or not, I want you to tell me now!"
The two looked at each other and saw tears of hurt in each other's eyes. Maybe those were not tears, but hearts bleeding!
"You guessed right." Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks into her mouth. Thyme felt so bitter!
I've never tasted anything so bitter.
"Why didn't you put such an important thing away and just leave it on the table? Don't you know that I will find out and become suspicious of you?" Chao Rirou asked again.
Yue Lanxiu thought that Thyme had deliberately placed it in a conspicuous place for Chao Rirou to find! Chao Rirou should also understand this, so as long as Thyme admitted that she had no choice, Chao Rirou would probably forgive her!
"I think I forgot!" Thyme no longer had the nerve to ask for forgiveness. "I'm sorry! I betrayed you!" She wanted to die! People who betray their friends should not have a good ending!
"I don't want to hear apologies! I just want to know what position you are standing on here now?! Do you want to continue to be my friend, or continue to follow Yan Mingchi?" As long as she doesn't choose the latter, Chao Rirou will no longer care about what she has done.
Thyme didn't answer immediately. After a while, she was still silent, and the way she closed her eyes showed that she was not going to say anything.
Xu Rongxuan, who was standing by, was also waiting for her reply, but he couldn't help but look away in disappointment! He knew that she still cared about Zhao Rirou, but Yan Mingchi was also very important to her! So she couldn't make a choice!
"Why don't you speak? Is it difficult to make a decision? Or do you want to tell me in this way that you choose the latter?!" Chao Rirou was extremely heartbroken. She didn't expect that Yan Mingchi was so important in her heart. Her weight in her heart could not even compete with Yan Mingchi!
Yue Lanxiu held her arms from behind, offering comfort and strength, while reminding them, "She betrayed you because of Yan Mingchi, and she betrayed Yan Mingchi because of you. I think she must feel guilty about both sides, so she's having trouble making a decision. Give her some more time! Besides, now isn't the time to talk about these things. The most urgent thing is how we get out! The entrance I came in through is blocked! Do you know if there's any other way out?"
The last sentence is directed to Thyme.
"Blocked? How could that happen?" Thyme opened her eyes in panic and looked at him.
"I was spotted by the robot right after I came in. It fired at me and threw grenades at me, causing a landslide and blocking the entire road!" Yue Lanxiu knew it was bad from the look in her eyes! She didn't know either!
"Are you really okay? Are you sure the injuries are not serious? Don't lie to me!" Asarirou found it hard to feel at ease after hearing what happened to him.
"If I really had something wrong, how could I have held on until now? Stop worrying!" Yue Lanxiu really enjoyed the way she worried about him. She was the cutest at this moment!
"What we should worry about now is whether we can find the second exit!" Thyme interrupted them solemnly.
"You don't know either?" Xu Rongxuan asked questioningly.
"I really don't know. I've only been here once with Yan Mingchi, and we took that same road in and out!" His eyes made her heart bleed again. Trust, once broken, can never be repaired!
"Why did he bring you here?!" Xu Rongxuan asked again.
Thyme was silent again.
"Heh! What would a single man and woman do in a place like this?" Xu Rongxuan started talking nonsense out of jealousy.
"What are you thinking? He can't do anything to me in his current state!"
"Why?" Thyme said casually, but Yue Lanxiu took it to heart. "Why can't I do anything to you? What has he become now?"
Realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have, Thyme's eyes flashed and she said, "I mean, he doesn't like me, so why would he do anything to me?"
"Since you know he doesn't like you, why are you still protecting him like this?!" Xu Rongxuan roared, angry at her for being so foolish! Angry at her for hurting herself for such a scumbag!
"I'm stupid, I'm hopeless, okay!"
Zhao Rirou and Yue Lanxiu understood something from their conversation, and their eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that Thyme Xiang liked Yan Mingchi?!
"Oh my God!" Asahiro couldn't help but exclaim.
Yue Lanxiu looked at Xu Rongxuan with a distressed look in his eyes. This guy must be talking with a knife stuck in his heart!
"Finding the exit is important! The signal in this basement is very poor. I can't contact outsiders with my cell phone. How are your cells?" Yue Lanxiu brought them back to the terrible reality.
“How do I have a cell phone?”
"I don't have it with me."
“It was taken away!”
Several people said in unison.
"Do you know if there are any other communication devices here?" Yue Lanxiu asked Thyme.
"I have no idea."
"Even if there is, so what? The circuit has been destroyed, it's as good as nothing!" Xu Rongxuan reminded.
"If you listen carefully, the ventilation system is still working, which means that only part of the circuit is damaged. We'd better pay attention to it! There is another important thing. Do you know if there is any mechanism here?" Yue Lanxiu's gaze returned to Thyme.
"I don't know. If I knew, I would have told you long ago!" Thyme also wanted to help them, but she really couldn't do anything.
"Then everyone be careful! Judging from the current situation, we can only save ourselves!" Yue Lanxiu said, holding Zhao Rirou tightly.
The two looked at each other, and there was a determination to live and die together in each other's eyes, and they were mentally prepared to risk their lives for each other.
Regardless of Thyme's wishes, Xu Rongxuan held her hand tightly in his own, "I hope you don't mind at this time!" Although he had misunderstood and the person she loved was not him, he still tried his best to protect her!
"Why would I mind?" Thyme could only say this in her heart!
She didn't know how to tell him that she cared about him too, more than her own life! But she wasn't that shameless! From the moment she chose Yan Mingchi, she was no longer worthy of him!
Half a day had passed, and not only did the few people fail to walk out of the dark passage, but they encountered even more difficult problems because there were multiple forks in the road.
