Xiaolan patted Yuxuan's shoulder to express comfort.
"So don't think too much. The most important thing now is to catch Meng Fuling and let's escape."
Yuxuan nodded again, lay down obediently and got into the quilt.
A sigh of relief.
"When I was in the dark room, I was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. In fact, I never had a good sleep." Yuxuan grabbed the soft corners of the quilt and showed an expression of enjoyment. "It was too big and empty there, and it was dark everywhere. Yes, it’s really like hell.”
"Is that space big?" Xiaolan asked curiously.
When he was in the basement, Xiaolan's attention was focused on the people and he didn't see the surrounding environment at all.
"It's very big. I took a photo with my phone when I was awake, and I couldn't even see where the edge was." Yuxuan stretched out her right hand and gestured. "Then when I went up to the small warehouse, I saw that it was so small. I was stunned.”
"That's true," Xiaolan nodded. "The storage room seemed to be only a little over one meter wide. Not only was there so much stuff packed in, there was actually a door on the ground."
The two laughed as they spoke.
"But how did you discover this secret room?" Yuxuan asked, "When you closed the door after we came out, I immediately lost track of the door."
"I measured the width of the two rooms next to it, and compared it in the corridor, and found that there was an enclosed space in the middle." Xiaolan demonstrated with her hands, "There is a distance of about five steps between the two rooms. Hidden..."
"Five big steps," Yu Xuan raised her eyes, "How can the storage room be so big?"
Xiaolan's movements were frozen in place.
Five strides away.
A storage room with a width of more than one meter at most.
Yuxuan's unintentional words hit Xiaolan's head like a meteor hammer.
"There is no problem with the thickness of the wall..."
Xiaolan murmured to herself, sketching a cross-sectional view of the lounge and storage room on the first floor of the bell tower.
The three-meter distance that disappeared...
A terrible thought emerged in Xiaolan's mind.
"This is a place no one else can find."
Chu Jing's words were still echoing in her ears.
Why is it impossible to find, what is impossible.
Because this is an invisible place.
This is the safest place.
It is also the most dangerous place that is covered by other dangers!
Xiaolan was stunned. She wanted to jump out of bed immediately, but also wanted to calm down and think about the accuracy of this idea.
Yuxuan felt something strange about Xiaolan, and quietly sat up straight, looking at Xiaolan's astonished face.
"Yuxuan...I seem to have discovered something important."
Yuxuan sat upright and looked at Xiaolan seriously.
"What's wrong?"
"We may not be able to sleep tonight, is that okay with you?" Xiaolan resolutely opened the quilt and got out of bed, put on her shoes, and was ready to leave.
Seeing Xiaolan moving, Yuxuan also hurriedly got out of bed.
"It doesn't matter to me. I stayed in the dark room for so long and I don't lack sleep."
"That's good."
In the blink of an eye, Xiaolan had already changed her clothes.
"I seem to have a clue about Meng Fuling's lair," Xiaolan said, leading Yuxuan out of the room. "I don't know if I'm right. Let's confirm it now. We can't wait a second."
Yuxuan didn't say a single unnecessary word, and followed Xiaolan's footsteps and rushed out of the hotel.
The target is pointed directly at the direction the two came from - the bell tower!

The other side of town.
In the dark room, a figure suddenly stood up.
There was still the sound of even breathing in the room.
Half sitting up from the bed, the man stood still for a few seconds. He looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual around him. He quietly lifted up the quilt and walked to the ground.
The sound of footsteps was almost non-existent.
The black shadow moved and walked to the door.
Suddenly disappeared.
A few seconds later, there were slight footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps gradually faded away and could no longer be heard.
The even breathing in the room continued.
Lasted for dozens of seconds.
In an instant, the accompaniment of the sleeping sounds of the two people stopped.
A faint blue light appeared on the far right side of the bed, in the palm of the person lying there.
The blue light disappears quickly.
"father?"
A short, low call.
After a long time, there was a response.
"Um."
"gone?"
"Still downstairs," Lao Luo said smoothly, "confirming our actions."
When Luo Jiutian heard this, he quickly lay back down and stopped talking.
The sound of rustling against the quilt.
The blue light came on again, this time the light was a little stronger and it stayed on for a little longer.
"he's gone."
Lao Luo's determined voice.
Luo Jiutian jumped up from the bed at the same moment, approached the window sideways, glanced outside, and immediately hid by the wall.
"Damn! Why is he still looking back? This is too cautious!"
"He wouldn't have killed as many people if he wasn't careful."
Luo Jiutian nodded with deep understanding, then turned his face and glanced secretly out the window.
"Huh? He's running away."
The blue light in the palm of his hand became brighter and brighter. Lao Luo sat up and stared at the blue light with a frown. Then his fingertips shook, the blue light disappeared, and Lao Luo also flew out of bed.
"He's running, which is very unusual." After quickly changing his clothes, Lao Luo rushed out the door with his son in his arms. "It's urgent, let's follow him quickly!"
Luo Jiutian pulled up his pants and struggled out of his father's hands.
"Maybe we can find little girl Xiaolan."
Lao Luo nodded deeply, "That girl is extraordinary, I just discovered it... Oh, that's all, rescuing her is the main thing."
The two of them followed Meng Fuling from a distance, unable to see his figure, and could only rely on the Panlongchi in Lao Luo's hand for guidance.
"This direction... seems to be the center of the town."
Lao Luo twirled his fingers and muttered a few words to the hexagrams on Panlong Pond, his expression becoming more solemn.
"More than that...the white clouds seem to be approaching the Bell Tower Square."
"Bell Tower?" Luo Jiutian asked doubtfully, "Is it the Bell Tower we have been to? How could it be there?"
Lao Luo shook his head and did not respond, but only quickened his pace.

Rooftop.
The tallest building in town.
The Taoist priest and Maple Sugar Pineapple looked around. It was already dark, and it was hard to see the buildings clearly, let alone passers-by.
Maple Sugar is holding a small flashlight in her mouth, holding a pen and paper in her hand and writing something.
"Did you draw it?" Pineapple leaned over and stared at the paper in Maple Sugar's hand.
"Hurry, hurry."
"Make it look nicer."
"I work hard, I work hard."
The Taoist priest raised his flashlight and looked around the town.
"My guess is probably correct," the Taoist priest turned around and said to Pineapple Maple Sugar, "The question is where is the eye of this prison formation."
When Pineapple heard this, he turned his head and urged his boyfriend.
"You hear me, it's your job!"
Maple Sugar's pen was as fast as flying. Within a few seconds, he let out a long breath and deliberately handed the white paper to the Taoist Priest and Pineapple with a handsome gesture.
"The distribution map of the town looks like this."
The Taoist priest and Pineapple approached.
"Listen to the yin and yang, and lock the evil tendons," the Taoist priest touched the painting with his five fingers, and then raised his index finger into the distance, "The eye of this prison formation is right there!"
