Chapter 19 Trust and Security

The toner bottle was dumped aside, and there was a familiar smell everywhere. The beef jerky was covered with arrows, and the chi kisses were buried under the feet. Mouse and I were still alive, but where were the other three?

The mouse shouted several times, lighting up all the dark corners of the room, but there was nothing.

"Did he go to the entrance of the cave?" The mouse continued to walk out doubtfully. I was afraid of being alone, so I rubbed my sore legs and followed him.

Arch cave, stone corridor, bat cave entrance.

The three people disappeared without a trace.

"Did they crawl out?" The mouse walked to the entrance of the cave and looked up. "No, there is no way to get out after coming down, and there is no place to fix the rope outside!"

I knocked on the solid rock wall as a blatant disappearance occurred around me.

If evaporation is impossible, then did they go down or go up? Inside or outside?

No one could answer me. Looking at the place where we once waited for death and survived the desperate situation, I suddenly remembered the guess that the glasses told me before: the two people below knew that we were here in advance!

I quickly reported to Mouse exactly what the glasses told me. He waved his hand and said, "I heard it all. Wasn't I right next to you when you were talking?"

"Didn't you have a mental breakdown then?"

"Pretending."

Suddenly I felt weak again: "Have you suspected them for a long time? To relax their vigilance?"

"Donghuang taught me before: When thinking about problems, you should stay out of the situation and act like an outsider." I was not used to Mouse's serious look, "I personally got Mr. Zhang drunk. He, Donghuang and I were the only ones present at the time.

I thought that the young man was probably tired of drinking this famous wine and foreign wine, so in order to curry favor with him, I specially brought two bottles of mung beans to burn."

"Are you saying that Dongdong's guess is correct, that he knows about your dinner party and that you are coming here?"

"I would never suddenly ask a beautiful woman: 'Are sanitary napkins delicious?' But I might unintentionally tease you like this." The mouse made a gesture of eating barbecue, "Because I know you have eaten it."

I hate the disgusting metaphor of mice, but what he said is really reasonable. Brother Monkey unintentionally teased and revealed the secret of mung bean roast and Mr. Zhang.

"That's why I didn't stab you just now - they came with us."

The sky has eyes, and my grievances were finally cleared! I asked: "How did Mr. Zhang mention them? I am now the outsider who stayed out of the matter as Donghuang said. Maybe I can help you analyze it."

"He bragged that he had a lot of money recently because someone spent a lot of money to buy a secret passed down from his ancestors."

I was very grateful for Mouse's trust in me, an outsider, and secretly decided to do my best to help them find the treasure. I analyzed it for him: "In other words, they have to believe it first, and then you take the lead, but they still

Do you know you are here?" I arranged the order, "No, they are earlier in time, how can they get the whole process information?"

Mouse's brows furrowed together, like a pug's forehead: "This is a key question. Mr. Zhang never remembers what he did when he was drunk. He must not have told them... **I know!"

He showed a look of realization, "It's the bodyguard! The bodyguard was standing at the door of the private room. He was the one who forced Mr. Zhang into the car and took him away when he was drunk!"

I imagined the scene in my mind and gradually became clear about the positions of both parties: "Do you think the disappearance of the three of them was caused by the two people below?"

"I don't understand. They have always been in my sight, and they can't do anything. Mr. Dong was injured, and Brother Dao died without saying a word. There is really no other way out of this place."

We paced back and forth in Chiki's room. The water and urine mixture sprayed on the floor had not completely evaporated. The situation was urgent. I couldn't care about my previous annoyance. I and the mouse were on the left and right on the stone slab where the eight little Chiki had sunk.

I groped around and couldn't find any useful clues.

I stopped and thought about it, all the traps had been triggered: we came in from the underwater passage of the underground river, the stone pillars in the Bat Cave were traps, the weirdo broke the trap from above, and we entered the underground. The door knocker was locked.

The big Chi Kiss was opened by the mouse, and the thirsty Big Chi Kiss was a hallucinogenic trap. The Chi Kiss trap was full of water, and we encountered a series of small Chi Kiss traps. At this time, Brother Monkey and Dr. Lin appeared and broke the water trap.

Then we encountered the trap of a hidden arrow, the glasses proposed a solution, and the mouse opened the Phoenix Stone Gate.

At this point, the road we passed should be clear and safe. According to common sense, we should open the Phoenix Stone Gate and proceed downwards before encountering other obstacles. There is no reason why the three brothers can disappear!

The mouse saw the worried look on my face and comforted me: "It's okay. Disappearance does not mean death. If you can't find someone, don't look for it. We have this tacit understanding!"

"Will they encounter any danger?" I felt very worried thinking about Donghuang's wound, but Mouse waved his hand to signal me to go back down. I didn't dare to stay in place, and ran down again with dong dong dong,

"Then shall we go down with them?"

"Come on, I have to see what they want!"

Back in front of the Phoenix Stone Gate, Brother Monkey greeted him from afar with an anxious look on his face: "Thank God, you two are back. Where are the others?"

"Not found, disappeared."

"How could it be? Did you go out from the hole?" Brother Monkey started scratching his ears and cheeks again.

Mouse didn't say anything, he squatted down and started to pack up the luggage and equipment scattered on the floor.

The cloth clothes, sleeping bags and backpacks were all torn. The stainless steel lunch boxes, mouse tool boxes and can shells were dented and deformed to varying degrees. Tuna juice spilled stickyly on the floor along the gaps.

With a distressed look on his face, Mouse threw away the notebook with the broken screen of Brother Glasses, and muttered: "The birthday gift I gave you costs thousands of dollars!"

"Wait or go?" Dr. Lin said calmly.

The mouse picked out a plastic bag from the debris and threw it over, saying, "Let's go, let's eat first."

We packed up the intact food and ate all the scattered ones. The weirdo's favorite energy bar was broken into pieces and could be made into tea. The smell of the canned fish made me salivate.

All the equipment was redistributed into five bags, and Mouse left one behind, saying that if Donghuang and the others came back here, they would not die immediately.

Dr. Lin always had a cold face, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking, but Brother Monkey and Mouse were both ready to go down.

In my heart, I wanted to wait and see. The disappearance of three living people was too strange to say the least, but I knew that I had no position to make suggestions or make decisions, so I had to carry the lightest mountaineering bag, and it was broken after lifting it.

Sneakers with a hole in them.

"Are you all ready? I'll open the door." Brother Monkey put on his headlamp again and pressed his hand on the Phoenix Stone Door. "Little Mouse and I will clear the way, and the little girl will be handed over to Dr. Lin! Let's go separately. Who knows what's ahead?

What else is dangerous?"

Dr. Lin grabbed my bag and pulled me back. I wanted to get closer to the mouse, so I gave him a pleading look.

Unexpectedly, he nodded slightly and put his hand on the stone door, standing together with Brother Monkey.

Brothers work together to break the gold?

Are you all on the same page?

Without waiting for me to think too much, the two of them opened the deadly Phoenix Stone Door, counting one, two, and three——

Another empty dark corridor.

The mouse kicked a triangular arrow on the ground. The metal arrow made a pop-pop sound, but nothing happened.

"Walk!" The mouse stretched his muscles, stepped up, and walked slowly for a few meters, "There's a lot of dirt, come up, it's okay!"

Brother Monkey followed up and opened the way with him one behind the other. When we were steadily far away from each other, Dr. Lin pushed me and signaled me to move forward.

I was still very uneasy. After all, there were only half the people there, so if anything happened, there wouldn't necessarily be anyone to take care of me.

"Don't worry for those behind me, I'm almost at the end!"

I knew that Mouse's words were meant to comfort me. I thought to myself that if I could make it out alive this time, these people and I would be considered close friends of life and death. This is what I will write in my summer social practice report.

"**! Go back..."
