Shen Dinghai was so anxious that he slipped back into the cave. This was the moment when he was most motivated to climb in the enough, Yangguang did not disappoint his expectations, and it was really him who brought Ranran with him.
Just as he had explained, Ran Ran was wrapped in a blanket and hung in front of Yang Guang. At first glance, it looked like there was a silkworm cocoon stuck in his arms, and he accomplished the difficult task of crawling in the passage with an unconscious person in this way.
Shen Dinghai's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Come over here! It's safe here!" He greeted, and when he saw Yangguang looking at him, he also stepped back like the little boy did before.
Yangguang reacted quickly and immediately retreated towards Shen Dinghai. The group of four quickly gathered in a small utility room. Except for Ranran who was in a coma, the remaining three were all staring with eyes wide open.
Yangguang was skeptical, "Are you sure this place won't be discovered?"
Shen Dinghai spread his hands and said, "The child said that. I can't be sure."
The little boy said confidently, "It won't be discovered. This storage room used to be full of things. It's not just me who thinks so. My dad and little sister also think so."
"Besides, the door of the utility room is locked from the outside. Even if my father really came and saw the lock on the outside of the door, he would not think that there was someone hiding inside."
Shen Dinghai gave the little boy a thumbs up, "As expected of a fresh body and a fresh brain, it works well."
"It's been such a long time since we met, but I still don't know your name."
"My name is Luo Minglin." The little boy smiled embarrassedly, "It's good that my father can't find this place. We can win the game, but I can't understand this..."
"The utility room is clearly full of things, so why is it empty now, and this is installed." He pointed to the dim light above his head.
"Did my father pretend? But I have no recollection of that."
"The house I've been living in has changed without me noticing, and I'm completely unaware of it..." Shen Dinghai nodded vigorously. "It's scary to think about it this way."
Ranran covered her head with her hands and groaned, then woke up.
Shen Dinghai barely gave her a chance to breathe and told her everything that had happened after she disappeared.
Ranran's face was pale. She had no other wounds on her body except the one on her head, which was caused when she was dodging the broken concrete blocks that suddenly fell down.
She found the hole, but was hit before she could crawl into it. Fortunately, the room was almost collapsed into ruins. With the cover of collapsed furniture, Ranran was able to endure the severe pain and crawl into the passage.
At that time, she couldn't help but think about a question, the concept of the cave monster towards hunting.
The monster gave up chasing her when it didn't see her after destroying the room, but it wasn't just a matter of whether there was a target within sight.
Because when Mako's father was banging on the door, he couldn't see Ranran within his sight, but he persisted until he broke into the room.
Is it the time factor? Or something else?
Ranran lowered her eyes and thought quietly, choosing to put this question aside for the time being. She first thanked Yangguang and comforted him.
"You don't have to worry about Xiaonu's safety. Combined with the information my second nephew just told me, if I'm not mistaken, she definitely has the power to protect herself."
Although the three of them had known each other for a very short time, they had established a relationship of risking their lives for each other, so there was no need for Ranran to continue to keep the information that she alone knew secret.
She told them everything that had happened when she and Laughing Girl had worked alone together, except for one small detail: her magic didn't work in the Terror Cave.
Yangguang obviously couldn't believe it, "Xiao Nu wants to kill you?! Why?! No... Impossible..."
Yangguang said it was impossible, but his reason told him that there was no need for Ranran to lie to him.
At this point, any fighting power is worth fighting for. It is impossible to deliberately create internal strife. What Ran Ran said can only be true. What she is worried about is not that Xiao Nu will not help everyone, but that she is afraid that she will make things worse.
Ran Ran said calmly: "After all, we didn't know each other before entering the horror cave, and no one knew what each other's purpose was."
"Besides, the non-investigation bureau is short of manpower. Maybe even they don't know what the Laughing Girl is going to do."
Yangguang looked depressed. He believed Ranran's words more and more, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling disappointed in human nature.
Now thinking back on what happened after Xiaonu entered the Terror Cave, it is true... she seemed to have never contributed anything, even if it was just considering the team in words.
"The order from the Bureau of Investigation was to protect Xiaonv, but Xiaonv wanted to attack the team. This is contrary to the order. The evil boy's speculation is reasonable..."
Shen Dinghai looked at Yangguang who looked lost, and his imagination opened up. "Maybe Xiaonu has her own reasons. After spending a short time with her, I feel that she is not the kind of unreasonable person."
"She may have already accepted a commission from outside the Bureau of Investigation."
Yangguang couldn't accept it, "Do you have to hurt others just because you have your own difficulties? Suffering is never a reason for a person to do evil."
Ran Ran didn't care about the point of dispute between the two. "Anyway, Xiao Nu can also be classified as an enemy now, but as long as she doesn't act rashly, we will never take the initiative to attack her."
"Otherwise, even if we succeed in leaving the cave, it will be hard to explain to the Bureau of Investigation."
"What we have to do is to try to eliminate her as a disruptive factor when the situation is broken."
Ran Ran analyzed seriously, and Shen Dinghai suddenly sighed with relief, "Sure enough, my cousin is still here."
“Now that’s the adventure I’m familiar with.”
Ran Ran's voice paused. She didn't know how to respond to Shen Dinghai's words. After all, she had no strength now and couldn't give a definite response.
Regardless of her mixed emotions, she simply spoke out her previous plans.
"Unite all the forces that can be united. We must first escape from the house and find Dingjun Mountain."
Ran Ran lowered her eyes. Otherwise, how could she help two powerless people escape with only the healing power of the sun?
Shen Dinghai was completely unaware of Ran Ran's abnormality. He asked excitedly, "Then how do we escape?"
His excitement was a kind of firm belief. He firmly believed that Ran Ran would always find a way.
Ran Ran looked at Luo Minglin, "At this time, we need Brother Minglin to act as our tool to divert Luo Ku's attention."
Shen Dinghai was confused. He didn't know which step he missed. "Wait a minute, where did Luo Ku come from?"
"Luo Ku is Mako's father, and Luo Guo is Mako's mother. This is what I observed in that room."
"A very harmonious family." Ran Ran said this while looking at Luo Minglin meaningfully.
Yangguang gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are a really strong person. You can run for your life while observing the clues in the room."
"More importantly, I was able to remember what I read. I can't do that."
"Just tell me a random number now, and I'll keep it for three seconds..."
"I just don't remember."
Shen Dinghai was speechless. If he didn't remember, then he didn't remember. What was he trying to do by using such a glorious tone? (End of this chapter)
