Fang Yingxia had already rushed to the door. Hearing his voice, she turned around and stamped her feet anxiously, "What's wrong with you now?!"

"My stomach hurts..." Chen Mo bent over, his face contorted in pain. "Was the food at lunch not clean? Wait for me a moment, I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."

"Chen Mo!"

Fang Yingxia was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at him and couldn't speak properly: "At this time...you...you."

She took a deep breath and muttered helplessly, "Lazy people have too much to do!"

Chen Mo clutched his stomach and ran outside, saying, "Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes. What can I do if my stomach hurts? I'll be right there, right away."

"Hey, isn't that the direction you're going for the toilet?" Fang Yingxia shouted at him irritably.

"I'll go to the restroom over there; it's nicer there."

Chen Mo didn't turn his head, waved his hand behind him, and disappeared in a flash.

"That bastard, he's really provoking us." Fang Yingxia was so angry that she wanted to chase after him and bite him.

"Let's wait in the car first."

Liu Ruyan gestured for the two to go to the door first, a fleeting look of doubt in her eyes.

In her memory, Chen Mo was not very reliable, but he didn't seem like someone who was afraid of trouble.

There was something strange about what I just did.

......

The three of them had only been in the car for two minutes when they saw Chen Mo running towards them.

"Sorry, sorry, you can go now."

Fang Yingxia glared at him fiercely, "Why are you back so soon? What did you bring? Gold bars?"

"none of your business."

Chen Mo opened the car door and got in, his expression unchanged. "You even care how fast I go to the toilet? That's too much of a fuss."

Fang Yingxia wanted to continue cursing, but Liu Ruyan had already started the car, interrupting her.

"Hold on tight."

The car lurched forward suddenly, and Fang Yingxia, caught off guard, nearly hit her head on the back of the front seat. She swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Chen Mo leaned back in the back seat and glanced at Wu Gan beside him.

"Brother Wu, did Captain Zheng give any instructions?"

Wu Gan leaned forward, his hands clenched together.

Hearing Chen Mo ask him a question, he was stunned for two seconds before slowly turning his head as if he had just realized what was happening.

"Confess...explain?"

He blinked, his eyes a little unfocused, as if trying to recall something, but couldn't piece it together for the time being.

"It's just..." He swallowed hard, his voice dry, "It's just that I was told to run... to run out and call for help."

Chen Mo's gaze lingered on his face for a moment before shifting away.

It was completely dark outside.

The shops along the street gradually lit up.

The further west you go, the fewer lights there are, until finally there are no streetlights at all, and only car headlights illuminate a small area ahead.

Wild grass sprouted from the roadside, brushing against the car body and making a rustling sound.

"arrive."

Liu Ruyan parked the car in an open space and turned off the engine.

The group got off the car.

A cold wind swept in, carrying the scent of withered grass and earth, as well as an indescribable stench.

Fang Yingxia glanced around and shrank back.

The moon is very big tonight, hanging low over the mass grave, like a bloodshot eye staring at the desolate graves and weeds below.

The moonlight fell on the crooked wooden signs and the overgrown grave mounds, turning everything into a dark red hue.

The ghost market is right next to the mass grave.

The overturned shelves and scattered items cast crooked shadows under the red moon.

The wind blew, and the tattered shed rattled loudly.

"This place..." Fang Yingxia, lacking her usual liveliness, spoke in a low voice, "It's creepy even during the day, how come it's like this at night..."

No one responded.

"Come with me, the captain is inside."

Wu Gan felt like he was back in a familiar place and led the way inside.

Liu Ruyan took a few steps forward and glanced at Chen Mo, who was following behind her.

"Hurry up."

Fang Yingxia bit her lip and reluctantly followed.

Chen Mo walked at the very back.

I never imagined that the ghost market would look like this after being away for a while.

He glanced around, his eyes sweeping over the overturned shelves one by one.

The wooden frame broke into several pieces, with debris scattered among the weeds.

The ground was covered with footprints of varying depths.

There are also drag marks.

And there's more than one.

This situation clearly indicates that something unexpected has happened, and these stall owners have evacuated urgently.

He didn't say anything, but flicked his fingers slightly, causing the shadow beneath his feet to sway slightly and split into several thin strands that scattered around.

The further in you go, the more chaotic the scene becomes.

There was also a cloth shoe lying crookedly by the roadside, its toe pointing towards the mass grave.

Chen Mo glanced at the shoe, but didn't stop walking.

"Tingyu Tower is just ahead," Wu Gan's voice came from ahead. "It'll be there in a little while..."

The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower.

In no time, we arrived at Tingyu Tower.

The building is still the same building, but the door is closed.

Fang Yingxia stood in front of the building, looking at the door, and suddenly shivered.

"Is Captain Zheng inside?" she asked in a low voice.

Wu Gan nodded without saying a word.

Liu Ruyan took two steps forward, her gaze falling on the door.

She didn't rush to push the door open, but first looked around the door frame. No light could see through the cracks, and she couldn't hear any sound.

"If he's inside, why is there no light?"

She took another step back and looked out the second-floor window.

Wu Gan stood next to her and explained in a low voice, "Captain Zheng said... that thing has sharp eyes. He said to hide inside first and then make a move together when you arrive."

He then stepped onto the stairs, saying, "That thing is hard to see in the dark; the darker it is, the less visible it becomes. When I ran out earlier, it was hiding on the second floor..."

Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment, her gaze lingering on the door for a long time.

"Where is the captain hiding?"

"Behind the stairs."

Wu Gan said, "There was a cabinet inside. Captain Zheng told me to hide inside the cabinet, while he hid behind the stairs."

"When I was hiding in the closet, I heard that thing crawling down the stairs... rustling, like it had many legs rubbing against the ground."

Fang Yingxia gasped.

Liu Ruyan didn't speak, but took another step back and looked up at the dark window on the second floor.

Is he still inside?

"have no idea."

Wu Gan shook his head. "Later, that thing climbed up again, and that's when Captain Zheng told me to run out and call for help. He said he couldn't handle it alone and had to wait for you guys to come and lure it down so he could attack from behind..."

Chen Mo stood behind, listening to these words, and suddenly laughed.

The laughter was soft, but everyone present heard it.

Fang Yingxia turned around and glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just think Captain Zheng has a good eye for picking places. The area behind the stairs is really dark."

Chen Mo stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist, his face expressionless.

"I just don't know if that thing has discovered him after he's been hiding for so long."
