The first thought that came to Ranran’s mind was Xiaonu’s ability, but then a second thought came to her 's not the Laughing Girl's ability that's affecting her! There's something wrong with her!
Ranran tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in her body, but found that she could not use any tricks!
Little white worm illusion! White light blade! None of them could be done! It was as if all the strength in her body had disappeared!
Ran Ran suppressed the shock in his heart and forced himself to analyze the situation calmly.
Was it due to some other reason? No, it could only be due to her.
The fact that the Non-Investigation Bureau has recruited so many magicians can prove this. It is not that the Terror Cave targets magicians. Magicians can perform normally in the Terror Cave.
Only she...she can't...
why!
Ranran took a deep breath and removed the hand that was touching Xiaonu.
She had to leave. If her power failed in the terror cave, her second nephew would lose the protection of the jade pendant and would only have to rely on people she knew nothing about...Ranran could not feel at ease.
She suddenly called out and pulled Xiaonu's hand like a scoundrel, "I almost forgot about Shanhai! He said he would come to see me at this time today, Sister Xiaonu, let's go find him!"
Ranran didn't give Xiaonu a chance to react. He turned around and spoke directly to the barista.
"We'll pick up the coffee that Sister Xiaonu ordered later."
The barista responded with a humble look.
While holding the distraught Xiaonu's hand, Ranran began to think about the fact that she wanted to kill herself.
It was clear that he wanted to kill her, and he had already created an opportunity for the two of them to be alone. Ranran's eyes inadvertently glanced at Xiaonu, wondering why she hadn't done it yet.
Why should she rely on the threat posed by the Terror Cave for her life?
Although there is a high probability that a newcomer will die when entering a terror cave, it is not a 100% certainty after all. Wouldn't it be better to hold the initiative in your own hands?
It is known that the non-investigation agency has not invented any equipment that can monitor explorers in the horror cave, otherwise even real-time communication would not have become a difficult problem.
Therefore, if Xiaonu kills her at this moment, she can do it without anyone noticing.
Why not take action?
Is it because you don’t want to dirty your hands, or is it because you can’t?
Ran Ran's attention returned to Xiao Nu's ability. What kind of ability could it be that not only made the Non-Investigation Bureau specifically warn that the mission was to protect her, but also made her so secretive that she even dared not use it.
Leaving the cafe, the world turned blood red again.
Ranran already knew that this was the true face of the world. In fact, compared to the seemingly harmonious and safe coffee shop, the world outside the illusion was safer.
Without those annoying guests staring at her, Ranran simply spoke her mind.
"Can you tell me what your ability is?"
The laughing girl just kept shaking her head, "Let me act alone!"
Ran Ran stared at her in deep thought, while keeping walking.
Therefore, the essential pursuit is still to act alone, and wanting to kill her is just to better achieve this goal.
So what can the Laughing Girl gain by acting alone?
She was assigned a special task by the Bureau of Investigation and had to complete it? No.
If completing a special mission requires acting alone, then it directly contradicts the protection instructions of the mission point... What on earth is this...
If it has nothing to do with the non-investigation bureau, then what Xiaonu can gain by acting alone is...her personal benefit?
Ran Ran became a little annoyed. She wondered if the Non-Investigation Bureau had done any background checks when recruiting people. How could they recruit such people with ulterior motives?
She reached out and pushed open the door of the shop opposite the cafe. If she was correct, her second nephew should be waiting for her inside with others.
Before the two teams separated, they agreed to start exploring from the first shop on the street.
But when he pushed open the door, Ranran was stunned. There was blood all over the walls and the floor, but no monsters or people were seen.
Ran Ran's heart suddenly sank. Xiao Nu, who was beside her, suppressed her fear and was obviously frightened. "Nephew!" Ran Ran tried to call out. She didn't have any expectations, but she heard a slight sound coming from inside, passing over the heavy racks of hanging clothes.
“…Cousin?” An uncertain voice followed.
"Stupid! We can't be sure if this is a real evil boy! Don't make a sound easily!"
The voice behind was Yangguang's. When he was whispering to Shen Dinghai not to expose himself, Ranran had already walked over.
The unobstructed footsteps were clearly audible in the quiet environment, and the cardboard boxes piled in the corner suddenly became silent.
Ranran finally felt relieved when she moved the cardboard box away and saw Shen Dinghai's blood-stained face.
Shen Dinghai was also like that. The moment he saw Ran Ran, he almost couldn't hold back his tears. "It's really you, isn't it, cousin?!"
"I don't know what happened. Xiaoyu didn't work. No matter how I called her telepathically, she ignored me!"
Shen Dinghai spoke in a panic, almost making his words incoherent, "I was scared to death! I was almost scared out of my wits!"
Upon hearing this, Ranran suppressed her panic. She didn't know what had happened, but she must not tell Shen Dinghai that she had completely lost her spiritual power.
When the sky falls, not everyone can panic. There has to be someone who remains rational.
"Cousin, how's the situation over there? Are you in danger?" Shen Dinghai asked while looking Ranran up and down with a worried look.
"It's okay." Ran Ran said calmly.
"There's nothing dangerous going on over there, but we made some discoveries and wanted to come over and share them with you."
Xiaonu finally came out of the fear of her life hanging by a thread. When she heard Ranran say this, she felt mixed emotions.
It's not that nothing dangerous happened, it's just that the danger was resolved.
Otherwise Ranran would have died there.
Ran Ran carefully observed the environment again and confirmed that there was no third person. "Just the two of you? What happened?"
The blood all over the walls and the floor is enough to tell the story of how thrilling it is.
Shen Dinghai recalled with difficulty: "In fact, I still don't understand what happened..."
"We were just following the mission process like you guys, exploring this store to see if we could find any clues or something, but as soon as we opened the door we discovered that the inside of the store was different from what we saw from the outside."
“When we stood outside, everything looked black and red, but once we came in, everything was completely normal.”
Shen Dinghai pointed at the bloodstained clothes on the shelf and said, "Cousin, you see, this is a clothing store. When we came in, there were many people browsing and buying clothes."
Yangguang also recalled the situation at that time, "We were stunned at the time, and thought we had returned to the normal world by accident..."
When Ranran heard this, she already knew what would happen next.
Yangguang's voice continued, "We are still standing at the door of the clothing store without any reaction! Those people who were selecting clothes suddenly became ferocious! A piece of clothing they grabbed turned into a thick and hard rope and tried to strangle us!"
Shen Dinghai nodded vigorously. "The cashier lady was originally counting the coins at the cash register. She grabbed a handful of money and turned it into a blade and threw it at us!"
Ranran had observed that Shen Dinghai and Yangguang had no wounds on their bodies, so the blood on their bodies was either from monsters or from Dingjun Mountain.
Shen Dinghai lowered his eyebrows in shame and apology, "It was Dingjun Mountain that blocked us, so we were not injured..."
"So many knives were inserted directly into his body, and so much blood flowed... It hurts just looking at it..."
"He even comforted us not to worry and told us to hide well while he tried to lure the enemy away."
Ranran looked at the pile of cardboard boxes, and his mind involuntarily reconstructed the scene at that time.
"He said not to worry?"
Shen Dinghai nodded dejectedly, "Yes, he said his ability is recovery." (End of this chapter)
