Jiang Cheng turned around and walked out.
"Doctor," the fat man trotted after him, turned around and frowned and asked, "We are leaving, what will they... do?"
"What should I do?" Jiang Cheng, who was walking down the stairs, replied, "I'm not their parent, so why should I help them take care of their children?"
Taking care of children...
The fat man thought about Su Ran's dumb look and realized that he was right.
"When did they leave?"
The fat man thought for a moment and replied: "About an hour ago."
"Going together?"
"Um."
Jiang Cheng went to bed at dawn, which meant that they left after they slept for an hour.
This time point is very interesting.
At least according to Jiang Cheng's understanding, they only left together after confirming that he was asleep. Otherwise, they could have waited until he woke up and acted together.
But according to Fatty, they didn't ask at all when they left. They just told Fatty to stay at the lighthouse.
"Doctor," the fat man stood against the wall on one side of the stairs. For some reason, he brought a torch with him before leaving. "I think something is wrong with that Su Xiaoxiao," he continued.
"Go on," Jiang Cheng walked in front.
"How can she safely leave her brother to others to take care of, and... still be with that old woman?" Thinking of the old woman's appearance last night, the fat man felt terrified from the bottom of his heart.
The fat man then swallowed again, "Isn't she afraid that something will happen?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Cheng's voice came.
The fat man licked his lips and continued to speak, but his voice was obviously lower: "I think maybe she noticed some important clues that could end the mission quickly, so she was willing to take risks."
"Either...or Su Ran is not her brother at all, but just a way for her to confuse her teammates. Now that the situation has become critical, she simply gave up the chess piece."
Fatty had always been skeptical about Su Ran's identity, which he had said a long time ago.
"It's the first case," Jiang Cheng said, "but she didn't notice anything. It was Chenran, and it was Chenran who encouraged her to leave her brother behind and go with him."
"How do you know?" Fatty asked doubtfully.
Jiang Cheng paused and slowed down a little, "Fat man," Jiang Cheng asked, "Think about it, if Su Xiaoxiao had discovered such crucial information, could he have waited until now?"
"How long can her brother survive?"
"Chenran seems to have found some key clues, and then he roped in Su Xiaoxiao, who was eager to save people. Su Xiaoxiao needed his information, and he needed Su Xiaoxiao's help in trial and error. The two hit it off."
"But doctor, you saw Su Xiaoxiao, she is not a fool," the fat man said in surprise.
"She is not stupid," Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said slowly after a while: "But she has no choice. I guess the information Chenran disclosed to her must be very specific, even accurate, otherwise Su Xiaoxiao would not have agreed to take the risk. of."
The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the building.
Even though there are collapsed stone pillars and various damaged stone sculptures everywhere, it is still not difficult to see the grandeur of this place.
The dilapidation here seems to have been caused in an instant.
The mysterious disappearance of Diplodocus last night made Fatty feel a similar sense of fear here. He carefully looked around. Although it was bright and clear, due to the terrain and obstacles, there were still areas around him covered in darkness.
At a glance, it looks like there is black mist lingering.
"Doctor," the fat man asked in a low voice, "could it be that Chenran found something where Diplodocus disappeared last night? Just find the watch."
In fact, there was no need for Fatty to say anything. Jiang Cheng walked there immediately. Soon, they found Chenran's casually thrown sports watch near the embers of a fire.
But other than that, Fatty didn't notice anything unusual.
There was no blood or other residue such as pieces of clothing.
There were only broken stone sculptures and sand and dust all over the ground.
Jiang Cheng slowly stood up from the ground, then looked around around where he found the watch. The fat man frowned slightly when he saw the doctor.
"Doctor," the fat man's throat rolled slightly, "did you find something?"
Jiang Cheng ignored him, then walked to the long-extinguished fire, stood on a broken stone pillar, and looked around.
The fat man didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so he waited patiently.
Until the doctor jumped off the stone pillar.
"doctor......."
As soon as the fat man opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Jiang Cheng, "Fat man," Jiang Cheng said with some unexplainable meaning in his tone, "Do you feel that... this place seems different from yesterday?"
After blinking, the fat man looked strange for a moment, then turned around and looked around. It took him a long time to lower his voice and say, "Doctor, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Did you...find something?" Fatty asked tentatively.
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, his vision paused. He walked a few steps to the already extinguished fire, then looked up at the fat man, "Give me the torch."
The fat man immediately handed over the torch.
With the help of the torch, I could see more clearly now. There were actually some broken pieces of porcelain in the fire, but they were made of stone.
Jiang Cheng picked up the fragments and found that the texture and color of the fragments were the same as the stone pillars and carvings in the building.
It's like...it fell off from somewhere.
Moreover, the overall fragment has a weird arc shape, somewhat like the shoulder armor used by ancient soldiers, but it is obviously superior in size, but the workmanship is much rougher.
Jiang Cheng looked at the fragment repeatedly, and then he seemed to have discovered something, or...perceived something. He put the fragment in front of his face, and sniffed slightly.
The next second, a faint fishy smell... entered his nasal cavity.
A few seconds later, Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked around. Then, his breathing became rapid.
The fat man rarely saw such an expression from the doctor, and his face changed with fear. He followed the doctor's line of sight and looked around, but he found nothing except the darkness not far away.
After a while, he opened his mouth slightly and said, "Doctor...doctor..."
"Shut your mouth," Jiang Cheng's voice also fluctuated. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Follow me, let's... go out."
The fat man almost pressed against the doctor's back, and the two walked out together.
Jiang Cheng's pace couldn't be said to be very fast, but the fat man actually had to run a step or two from time to time to keep up.
The doctor must have sensed some kind of danger to do this. Fatty knew this, but what he didn't know was what the doctor had discovered.
And from the looks of the doctor, the crisis is hidden in this building, very close to them...very, very close.
