For ten years I practiced Gu poison in Southeast Asia; all living beings revered me as a deity.

"Are you sure... this news is true?"

Luo Feng pressed on the phone, "Also, why did my uncle go to that Tarbaga Mountains? What is his purpose in going there?"

"I don't know the answer to that question either," Naichun said with a wry smile. "Only Mr. Xu himself knows the real reason why he went to the Tarbaga Mountains."

Is the source of this information reliable?

"reliable."

Naichun said, "The source of this clue should be correct. The person in the photo should be Mr. Xu Jianguo."

Luo Feng tried to subtly probe who had delivered the message, but Nai Chun refused to answer.

He claimed that a friend of his who worked at the police station had died inexplicably due to a heart problem.

"My friend was a healthy person who exercised regularly and had no bad habits. To be honest, I find it hard to believe that he died of an acute heart attack..."

When Naichun said this, her tone became somewhat heavy.

A knowing glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes.

He immediately understood that the person Nai Chun was referring to was Thachai, one of the high-ranking officers in the Chiang Mai police department.

Unfortunately, Naichun knew nothing about this person's background, and did not know whether this guy was her enemy or an informant planted in the police station by the organization. She was actually saddened by his death.

"yes……"

Luo Feng naturally wouldn't tell him the truth.

—Talba Mountain…Paroi village?

He knew very well that this was, without a doubt, a trap.

However, his uncle still took good care of him. Given Luo Feng's personality and the fact that he was the uncle's nephew, it was impossible for him to abandon this matter.

"Acting rashly could very well lead to being targeted by the organization... and the influence of the Manticol Corporation cannot be ignored."

As Luo Feng was pondering a solution, Nai Chun spoke up from across the room.

“Mr. Luo, this matter may be a trap set by someone,” Naichun said in a deep voice, “I think it would be better if I went to Sulin Prefecture first to find out the situation. If it is confirmed that the injured person is Mr. Xu, then ask the boss to step forward and use his connections to bring him back.”

He proposed a solution: Naichun should personally go to Sulin Prefecture, confirm the person's whereabouts, and then use Uncle Chen's network of connections to bring the person back.

"This method is indeed feasible, but... have you thought about it?"

Luo Feng nodded.

Uncle Chen's status as a leader of the overseas Chinese community can still play a role. As long as his uncle's identity is confirmed, he should be able to rescue the person by leveraging the influence of overseas Chinese businessmen in Thailand. However, he doesn't think Naichun can find anyone locally.

Even if Naichun went to the area, she might fall into this trap and be captured and controlled by the organization.

"If this is a trap, you may never return."

He said in a deep voice, "I'm also very worried about my uncle's safety, but acting rashly will only make things worse!"

Luo Feng looked at Nai Chun again, wondering why this man was taking this matter so seriously.

Naichun was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Actually, there are some suspicious things about my friend's death... He was the one who told me about Mr. Xu's investigation of Manticol Company."

He sighed: "Also, there are some documents and files that involve the inner workings of Manticol Company. These are internal police documents, and many of them cannot be obtained without special authorization."

I strongly suspect that Thachai's death wasn't due to a sudden heart attack, but rather retaliation for leaking information to me.

"So, you plan to go to Surin Province yourself to find out what's going on?"

"That's right."

Naichun said, "I feel that I have this responsibility."

He admitted that he would not act rashly and would try to find Xu Jianguo's whereabouts while ensuring his own safety.

"Mr. Xu should be in a local hospital now. I will find a way to sneak in. Once I can confirm that it is him, things will be much easier."

"All right."

Luo Feng nodded.

"Actually, I'm very grateful that you're willing to come and help... not to mention that this matter is dangerous."

He paused for a moment, then said calmly, "However, since this matter involves my uncle, I need to go there in person."

"etc."

Naichun quickly intervened, saying, "This is too dangerous. If Mr. Xu is being held hostage and it's a trap, then the person they really want to capture is Mr. Luo himself."

"rest assured."

Luo Feng calmly replied, "I don't intend to travel with you, and I have some matters to attend to before heading to Sulin Prefecture!"

"What is it?"

Naichun asked in confusion.

Luo Feng simply smiled at his question without answering it.

……

……

late at night.

The Tarba Mountains.

Paroi village.

Because aftershocks were detected and there were concerns about potential secondary disasters, most of the rescue workers and civilian relief groups on site had already evacuated.

Yellow cordon tape has been set up around the villages in the affected area, and local police have strictly sealed off the scene to prevent outsiders from entering.

At the same time, several military helicopters circled in the air several times before slowly landing on an open area south of the village.

A group of people slowly disembarked from the helicopter, all wearing heavy protective suits and gas masks.

Some of these people were carrying guns and various miscellaneous equipment, while a few others were carrying instruments and equipment. They were walking quietly through the black weeds, proceeding along the steep mountain path.

Before long, the group arrived at the mountainside, where a dark cave entrance was exposed beside the collapsed and shattered rocks, like a tunnel leading to a dark world.

"The central region of the Tarbagatai Mountains has experienced unique geological activity, according to satellite imagery..."

The man at the head of the group, behind a mask, gave instructions in a deep voice.

"The investigation site is located on the south side of the mountain. The earthquake triggered a landslide, which created a cave-like crater on the southern mountainside. Our mission is to investigate that area."

"team leader."

One of the team members asked over the radio, "What exactly are they looking for up there?"

"I don't know either."

The captain shook his head.

"However, our mission is to go to that pit and investigate all the information worth digging out."

He stepped on the weeds in front of him, trampled them down, and continued forward, becoming the first to enter the cave. The other team members followed in single file, entering the cave entrance and meandering through the deep interior.

A minute passed.

There was no movement inside the cave.

Ten minutes passed...

The tunnel-like entrance remained silent.

Time passes little by little.

Fifteen minutes later, suddenly, a scream that didn't sound like a human voice came from inside the cave.

Then, a figure rushed out, shouting and yelling like a madman, and burst out of the cave.

"Help! Help!"

The man had long since removed his mask; he was covered in blood and stumbling as he ran wildly down the mountain.

This was the same captain from before. His face was filled with anxiety and fear, and he kept looking back, as if he was afraid of something...

"The cave...we can't go there...we shouldn't have come here..."

The captain, who kept looking back, had tears and snot streaming down his face as he ran while taking off his heavy protective suit.

He shed his burdens and moved even faster, reaching the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, the man seemed to trip over something, and his body lurched forward.

Pfft!

He fell to the ground.

The captain turned his head and saw a figure lying in the bushes behind him; it was a dark figure that looked like a woman.

A blurry black shadow lay sprawled on the grass. Dirty black hair snaked across the ground, and between the disheveled bangs was a chubby nose. From between the crooked teeth in its crooked mouth, a swollen tongue uttered a silent resentment.

The woman's eyeballs completely disappeared, turning into dark cavernous eye sockets that stared excitedly at the captain's figure.

"Spare me, spare me..."

His ankles were entangled in long, filthy black hair, and his body was dragged backward. Then, from the grass behind him, countless twisted hands stretched out, with dead flesh-like fingers and pitch-black nails, tearing at the man's flesh.

Screams echoed through the dark night.

A moment later, it came to an abrupt end.

The entire mountain and that open space were completely peaceful.

Three helicopters stood silently in place, their crews all missing.

Looking towards the Tarba Mountains from the open space, you'll see that the entire mountain resembles a giant human head.

It looks like a woman's head.

The human head gazes silently at the earth.

The lush trees and dense weeds on the mountain meandered down like long, dirty hair, spreading outwards into the night...
