Just then, Yuwen Xuan pressed himself against the iron cover and excitedly turned his head to say, “So… do you want to go check it out now?”
Now? Go where?
When Xu Shuhan saw Yuwen Xuan grabbing the handle, her heart sank.
This guy isn’t planning on settling down… Although she didn’t know exactly what he had overheard while lying there, his fervent gaze and mud-covered appearance were clear indicators that it wasn’t anything good…
However, before she could say anything, Ling Mo had already spoken up: “Wait.”
Huh? Ling Mo stopped him? That’s a relief… Xu Shuhan breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Her biggest worry had been that Ling Mo would go crazy along with this madman… Weren’t you here to find each other? Now that you’ve found each other, you should be looking for an exit.
“What’s up?” Yuwen Xuan paused and asked.
Ling Mo stroked his chin, pondering for a mont before saying, “Could the exit also be ahead?”
…You really want to go too! Not only that, but you even ca up with such a flimsy excuse!
Xu Shuhan felt a surge of helplessness and whispered softly, “How could that be…”
“Haven’t we seen nothing like that along the way?” Ling Mo was quick to pick up on her mutter and promptly presented his argunt.
“Isn’t that because we took the wrong path!” Xu Shuhan gritted her teeth. However, she didn’t voice this out loud because technically, they had been lured into this place… The exit used by Tang Hao’s group would definitely not be set up in such a location, but what Ling Mo ntioned might not be the exit they left either. It could be another…
The area was densely built-up with both comrcial and residential buildings. Therefore, the sewer network was also intricate and interconnected. It was possible to find a manhole cover sowhere and then be able to leave this place.
However, thinking about such things in one’s mind was simple; being in the deep, dark sewer infested with Monsters made one truly appreciate… the scarcity of manhole covers! Where are those frequently spotted manhole covers when you need them!
…Complaints aside, to dissuade the two, Xu Shuhan patiently continued, “It would be very dangerous to proceed rashly…”
“Going back is even more dangerous,” Yuwen Xuan bluntly replied.
Ling Mo actually nodded in agreent, saying, “That’s right. Although we are unfamiliar with this place, we clearly understand that there are many Monsters lurking on the way back. Even if we can pass safely, there are still more Monsters waiting for us ahead. Not just them, but the companion of the ‘Giant God Warrior’ too. Rember, it has threatened us as well.”
…
“Also, I suspect that all this has a lot to do with Tang Hao and his people,” Ling Mo suddenly threw in this piece of news.
Xu Shuhan was stunned, while Yuwen Xuan appeared sowhat confused.
Ling Mo waved his hand and continued, “I can’t say exactly what it is right now because I’ve only found so clues. But finding even a small clue between Monsters and humans is definitely not a coincidence, right?”
Both were montarily dazed. They nodded together.
Indeed, just finding clues was suspicious enough.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, humans are rely food for Monsters; that fact would never change. Forget about clues, finding a bone would be lucky…
The problem was, she had been walking with him all the way; how had she missed this fact? Could sothing have been overlooked? Frowning, Xu Shuhan couldn’t help wondering, Ling Mo, are we even in the sa sewer…
“Let’s put my issue aside for now…” Ling Mo said, then suddenly turned to Yuwen Xuan, asking, “You explain your situation first, then we’ll decide whether to go out now or not.”
“You… ah!” Yuwen Xuan seed reluctant to waste more ti, but eventually, he turned around and said, “I said I was dragged here, do you believe it?”
“Dragged?”
Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan both widened their eyes.
That answer was unexpected!
“I don’t know how you got here, but Ling Mo has ntal ability Superpowers, which might make things easier here? When I was attacked, I had no resistance.”
He spoke in a casual tone, but Yuwen Xuan’s tone still carried that edge, “You must have heard that voice too, right? I followed it for a long ti before I realized sothing was off. But at that ti, I wasn’t sure and didn’t dare to test it out… Who knows what the other party is like? If they really had Ling Mo captive, acting rashly would have jeopardized him.”
“It’s good you still recognize the word ‘jeopardize’…” Ling Mo said on the side.
Yuwen Xuan coughed and ignoring Ling Mo’s sarcasm, continued, “So, I thought of many ways and finally managed to shake it off. But just when I thought I had lost it, another figure appeared in front of . This one was suddenly seen by , sticking to the wall and peering into the passage. I was about to rush over and subdue him when he suddenly rushed forward. It looked like he was chasing soone, and his speed was indeed impressive, so I had no choice but to follow him from a distance. Next…”
As he spoke, he showed a sowhat troubled expression and hesitatingly said, “After catching up with him, I was within ten ters of him. Seeing that he hadn’t caught anything, I thought I’d take him down first. But then… he turned sideways towards and suddenly tore off his own face…”
“Face tearing? Oh…” It’s a transformation.
But from Yuwen Xuan’s tone, he probably wasn’t aware of the opponent’s abilities…
“Yeah, not just the face, but all over his body… At that mont, sothing approached from behind and suddenly hit . I was so engrossed that I didn’t dodge… Later I guessed it was a stick or sothing, but there was no force when it swung, only generating power the mont it touched . That’s one of the reasons I couldn’t dodge…” Yuwen Xuan touched his Hindbrain, “When I regained consciousness from the blackout, the Face Tearer, along with another figure, was approaching us… I could have resisted then, but after hearing their conversation, I decided to turn the tables…”
Despite Yuwen Xuan’s matter-of-fact narration, Xu Shuhan’s face turned extrely pale.
This was too shocking!
Not so much because of Yuwen Xuan’s experience, but because of his nonchalant tone!
Under such eerie circumstances, it was remarkable that he still thought to turn the tables!
“What conversation?” Ling Mo asked.
“It was strange… The figure just humd twice, most of it was said by the Face Tearer. It instructed the figure to drag in but to be careful not to damage . ‘It’s rare to get human food so easily, don’t waste it, he’s not dead yet, make sure not to let him wake up.’ That was its exact words. Then the figure ca over to drag …” Yuwen Xuan said.
Hey… It’s all so clear, how could you still lie down! Xu Shuhan was about to go insane… If it were her… Well, better not think about it.
“At that mont, I thought maybe Ling Mo would also be inside. Since they weren’t planning to kill humans directly, I was temporarily safe, so I just continued to pretend to be unconscious. But then, they started to strip my clothes… The Face Tearer felt a bit and let the figure lift up, then observed for a while… I think it was checking the quality of my at, haha…” He could still laugh about it.
However, Ling Mo showed a thoughtful expression on the side… Perhaps it was because of Yuwen Xuan’s madness and calmness that he had survived until now… His actions seed unreliable, but they were actually the best decisions he could make at the ti. Fighting, then capturing for questioning? Having seen the scene of face tearing, it should be very clear that this approach wouldn’t work. So, turning the tables was the best strategy at that mont.
Still… It was quite a risky move…
As for the stripping… Most likely, the “Giant God Warrior” was preparing for a transformation…
