This sudden change made me startled. Liu Siniang, who was standing next to me, even came closer and said with a hint of horror in her voice: "This... what's going on?"
Liu Siniang hugged my arms tightly with both hands, and the proud pair of white rabbits on her chest rubbed against her arms, which made Xiao Hutian, who had been a vegetarian for a while, couldn't help but feel proud.
I cursed myself in my mind, "When did this happen? What were you thinking about?"
However, this woman, who usually looks aloof and cool, suddenly turned into such a pitiful appearance, which really has a different flavor.
Just when I was thinking wildly, the originally extinguished torches on both sides of the wall suddenly lit up again with a pop.
At the same time, a man appeared not far in front of us.
I saw that man wearing a dark blue mountaineering suit. The clothes were very torn and stained with mud. One foot was wearing a shoe and the other was bare. The whole person was leaning against the wall on the right. I don’t know. Dead or alive.
"There's... someone!" After seeing that person, little Zhuoma screamed as if she had seen a ghost.
Liu Siniang also seemed to have great fear of this sudden appearance.
Liu Siniang pointed at the person and swallowed hard. After a while, she stammered: "How...why did a person suddenly appear?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know either. There's something wrong with this place. You guys stay here while I go and see what's going on..."
Liu Siniang looked at me with her charming eyes and said with concern: "Young Master of the Hu family, be careful!"
Liu Siniang's sudden concern gave me a warm feeling for a moment. It felt like when I was in school, I was suddenly cared about by a girl I had liked for a long time.
I looked at Liu Siniang, smiled and said, "Don't worry!"
After saying that, I took big steps towards the guy who suddenly appeared.
That guy wasn't too far away from me, only a dozen steps at most. I slowly walked over and squatted down, and found that the guy was actually a mummy.
This mummy was that of a woman. There was no trace of moisture in her body, and she was a terrifying dark brown color. It looked like she had been dead for a long time.
I slowly laid the female body flat on the ground, rummaged through her mountaineering clothes for a while, and finally found a work permit in her right jacket pocket.
I opened my work permit and saw the words "Exploration Section Three, Confidential Division of the 749th Bureau of the Central Committee" written on it. The signature was a name called Yao Fang, and an ID photo of a beautiful girl with single eyelids.
I looked at the work permit in my hand and muttered to myself: "The 749th Bureau of the Central Committee? Where is that place?"
Liu Siniang obviously noticed what was going on here, and came over and asked, "Master Hu, what did you find?"
I handed the work permit in my hand to Liu Siniang and said, "I found a work permit, but nothing else has been found so far."
Liu Siniang took the work permit, took a look at it, and said in a slightly surprised tone: "This person is actually from the 749th Bureau?"
I looked back at Liu Siniang and asked, "Do you know this department?"
Liu Siniang nodded and said, "Of course! Although I have never dealt with them, I have heard of this place."
I looked at Liu Siniang and asked, "What is the responsibility of this 749th Bureau?"
Liu Siniang thought for a while, and then said word by word: "Let's put it this way! All the secret people and things in our country are under their control. They can't be on the stage, and they have never been recognized by the government, but they are It holds a large number of secrets that others don’t know. It is no exaggeration to say that if any of these secrets were made public, it would be enough to subvert everyone’s worldview and people’s understanding of the world..."
I frowned and said, "It turns out that there really is such a department in the government. Don't tell me, it's a bit like S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Hollywood movie."
Liu Siniang nodded and said, "You described it very appropriately. That's pretty much what it means."
I continued: "But why does such a department appear here, and..."
Liu Siniang didn't wait for me to finish my words before she continued, "Maybe they came here for that place this time."
I looked at Liu Siniang and asked in confusion: "Where?"
Liu Siniang said: "Zuiye Ancient City!"
I said in surprise: "What? Are they also here for Suiye Ancient City?"
Liu Siniang frowned and said: "I'm just guessing, not sure. However, six months ago, some people from the government came to my Wanfu Building to buy information. That time they spent a lot of money to buy information about the Broken Leaf Ancient City. Information, that’s why I think so.”
While Liu Siniang and I were talking, I had already rummaged through the female corpse, and there was nothing there except the work permit.
Not only that, this female corpse didn’t even have a single fatal injury.
I looked at the female corpse and frowned and said, "Since they are going to find the Broken Leaf Ancient City, why did a good person appear here again? Also, how did this girl die?"
"What is this?" At this moment, Xiao Zhuoma pointed under the female body and said, "What is that?"
Little Dolma was very courageous. Not only did he not have any fear when he saw this mummy for the first time, but he had a curious expression on his face.
At this moment, little Zhuoma got even shorter, got under my armpit, and took out something from under the female corpse.
Seeing this, Liu Siniang hurriedly asked: "Little Zhuoma, what did you find?"
Little Dolma spread her hands triumphantly, and a pink crystal mobile phone pendant on her palm suddenly appeared in front of Liu Siniang and me.
Little Zhuoma smiled proudly and said: "Look, this is what I found! Doesn't it look good?"
This mobile phone pendant is very common and not very valuable. It is the kind of cheap thing that you can buy three of them for ten yuan at the night market.
When Liu Siniang saw that her child had found this thing, she immediately lost interest and glared at little Dolma with her brows furrowed.
Little Zhuoma was a little aggrieved. She thought she had discovered a major clue, but she never expected that in the eyes of adults, her discovery was worthless.
But is this discovery really worthless?
No!
of course not!
When I saw the mobile phone pendant in Xiao Zhuoma's hand, I was stunned for a moment and hurriedly reached out to touch my pocket.
I originally thought it was because I accidentally dropped the cell phone pendant from my pocket when I was checking the body just now.
However, when my hand touched the mobile phone pendant in my pocket, an indescribable chill almost instantly rushed from bottom to top, along the back of my spine to the top of my head.
I took the cell phone pendant from Xiao Dolma's hand. Xiao Dolma thought I was going to snatch it away, so he screamed angrily, and in an instant, he blurted out one after another staggering curses.
If Liu Siniang hadn't been there to stop me, I guess this little girl could have pounced on me and tried to kill me.
I frowned and glanced at Dolma, who looked like a little tigress, but said nothing.
At this time, I no longer had the intention to comfort this little girl. I walked to the torch and reached out from my pocket to take out the mobile phone pendant that I had picked up.
I murmured to myself: "I must be overthinking it. Maybe they just look similar and are just the same mobile phone chain."
But my idea was quickly rejected by the facts, because when I put them on the palm of my hand at the same time, I was surprised to find that the two mobile phone pendants were exactly the same. Not only were they the same color, appearance, and shape, even the one on the left was exactly the same. The scratches on the two artificial diamonds are exactly the same.
Liu Siniang obviously noticed this, and took two steps over and asked, "What's going on? Why are there two identical mobile phone pendants?"
I frowned and shook my head and said, "I don't know either."
I picked up one of the two mobile phone chains and said, "This is what I picked up next to Naihe. At that time, I vaguely saw a figure, and the figure flashed past very quickly. When I When I chased after it, I only found this... I thought this thing was useless, but I never expected..."
But who would have thought that before I finished speaking, little Zhuoma on the side suddenly shouted loudly: "Ama! Look! There is someone there!"
Xiao Zhuoma said while pointing to a place not far in front of the corridor.
"What? Someone?"
Hearing Xiao Zhuoma's words, Liu Siniang and I couldn't help but look up at the front of the corridor at the same time.
Sure enough, the moment the two of us raised our heads, a figure suddenly flashed around the corner not far ahead.
Although this guy's movements can be called agile, they always seem a little weird to me. It feels like this guy has some injuries on his feet.
Not only that, judging from the guy's passing figure, he was wearing the same mountaineering clothes as the woman named Yao Fang on the ground.
In other words, this guy is probably one of the members sent here by the 749th Bureau to look for Suiye Ancient City.
After finding him, most of the things inside will come to light.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated and shouted to Liu Siniang and Xiao Zhuoma: "Chasing! He may know what is going on here."
After saying that, I took the lead and ran towards the front of the corridor.
But what made me feel strange was that when I ran around the corner, there was no one in front of the corridor.
"What's going on? Where did that guy go?" I said to myself in surprise.
At this moment, an extremely harsh friction sound suddenly came from the corridor behind us.
The sound was extremely loud, and the sharp "creeping" sound made people want to bite the roots of their teeth.
Not only that, but what's even more terrible is that the sound is approaching us little by little, and its speed is not slow. In a short time, it has reached a place not far behind us.
