The passage was blocked, and Cheng Kaixi's height made it very uncomfortable to walk in the tunnel, so she could only lower her head.

A narrow corridor is about ten meters long and connects to another passage at the end.

The two looked in both directions, but saw no trace of anyone.

Bai Mengyan chose a passage at random, and used her telekinesis to make a small mark in an inconspicuous position to prevent getting lost.

Cheng Kaixi still used the small light group for lighting. The two of them reached the end and the direction of the tunnel changed. Bai Mengyan was afraid that there was a secret door, so she checked twice more at the dead end to confirm that there was no secret door before moving in the direction of the redirection. go ahead.

Bai Mengyan reminded quietly from behind, "You must have been photographed when you entered the door. Be careful of an ambush."

Cheng Kaixi turned back and nodded to Bai Mengyan, and touched the dagger with her free right hand. If there was an accident, she would first strike the opponent with a knife and then reason with him.

There is light from the light group. Although the walls of the tunnel are not very regular, the ground on which they walk is very smooth. It seems that they have been using this underground construction for a long time.

The two people remembered the half-hour agreement and accelerated their pace. If the tunnel had forks and rooms, they should be very conspicuous.

Cheng Kaixi opened the way, while Bai Mengyan listened to the movement behind her while using her senses to explore in all directions.

Her attention was on the scene of sensing acquisition, and she accidentally bumped into Cheng Kaixi's back. Bai Mengyan hurriedly withdrew her power and raised her head to ask.

Cheng Kaixi pointed to an iron door in the corner. There was a grille underneath the iron door to facilitate ventilation.

Through the gaps in the grid, you can vaguely see the light of the fire. It seems that candles are lit inside.

Bai Mengyan crouched to the side of the iron door's axis. If someone suddenly opened the door, she could still hide behind it.

It was quiet in the tunnel, and I didn't know why I was so sneaky and irritated when I did such a thing.

Cheng Kaixi stared nervously, checking the dark tunnel from time to time to help her look out.

Bai Mengyan stood still, closed her eyes and directly reached into the iron door with her mind.

As soon as her consciousness penetrated the iron door, she froze on the spot. The room was very small, with only a simple flat bed placed against the innermost wall.

There wasn't even any cotton quilt on the bed, just a layer of dirty rags covering it.

There was a person lying on the bed, a girl.

Bai Mengyan's heart trembled, fearing that it was someone she knew, because the wounds on the girl's body were so hideous that it was extremely heart-wrenching to see.

She looked around and saw that the room was indeed so small that she could see to the end at a glance. There was no one and no one would come in from other entrances, so she controlled her consciousness and moved closer.

The candle was on the diagonal corner opposite the bed. The light of the candle was very small and flickered out. The girl's face could not be seen clearly.

It wasn't until Bai Mengyan walked up to him that she breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't Xiao Ran.

The girl's clothes were in tatters, and the strips of cloth were soaked in blood. She didn't know how many times it had been soaked, and her hair was black, so she was sure it was caused by blood.

She was about to cancel her perception when her eyes subconsciously glanced down and glanced at the girl's hand hanging down under the bed.

There is still a drop of blood hanging on the fingertips, and on the wrist is a string of multi-faceted crystal bracelets.

Bai Mengyan's breath froze, and her eyes were fixed on the girl's face again. It was clearly not Xiao Ran's face, but why was she wearing Xiao Ran's bracelet.

If there could be multiple identical bracelets, this was the only one that could be modified by her hands.

Shocked and confused, tens of thousands of possibilities flooded into her mind in an instant.

Bai Mengyan opened her eyes suddenly and met Cheng Kaixi's eyes. It seemed that only by seeing him could she feel safe for a short time.

She pointed to the iron door with some trembling and stiffness, "Xiao Ran..."

Seeing that Bai Mengyan was not firm enough, Cheng Kaixi asked with eyes. Bai Mengyan then added, "It's not necessarily Xiao Ran, it's Xiao Ran's bracelet."

Cheng Kaixi also came to the other side of the door, "Did you see it?"

Bai Mengyan nodded noncommittally, and Cheng Kaixi's eyes fell on the iron door lock.

The lock on this seemingly low-quality iron door is not a common anti-theft lock, nor is it an old-fashioned latch. If I had to describe it, I can only say that it has no keyhole and is a device.

Eager to save people, the two of them had no time to study how to painlessly open the lock. Cheng Kaixi immediately released high-temperature red rays. If they only cut the door lock, the power consumption would be negligible.

After the cutting was completed, an iron part fell to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was compacted earth and no sound was made.

The two looked at each other, opened the iron door, and stepped in.

Without the restraint of the door lock, the door can only be left ajar.

Bai Mengyan almost entered the room and came to the girl's bed. Cheng Kaixi glanced at the candle in the corner and released a light ball that was only slightly brighter than the candle and pushed it directly above the girl.

Cheng Kaixi didn't even need to come forward. Through the light, she could see that the person lying on the bed was not Xiao Ran.

Bai Mengyan picked up the girl's hanging hand and fiddled with the bracelet carefully, her face solemn.

"This is the bracelet I helped Xiao Ran put on. The red bead inside is a metal provided by Niu Erzhu. I shaped it with my mind. There is no other bead exactly the same in the world."

Cheng Kaixi also felt a little strange. Could it be that in the end of the world, there are still people picking up bracelets like this that can't provide enough food and clothing?

She looked at the girl lying still and moved her arms, legs and feet.

The girl had a lot of bruises on her body, and the torn clothes revealed many bleeding wounds on the skin underneath.

Bai Mengyan was a little disappointed. Except for the bracelet, there was no feature that matched Xiao Ran's.

Maybe it was really the girl who picked it up. If she was awake, she could still ask for clues, but the girl is dead now.

There was no rise and fall in the chest. In such a dark and quiet underground darkroom, there was no heartbeat or even the slightest sound of breathing. He was truly dead.

Bai Mengyan was considering whether to take off the bracelet and take it away. At this time, Cheng Kaixi looked around and inspected her hands, using the stable light source of the light group.

Cheng Kaixi pointed to the girl's neck, "What do you think that is?"

Bai Mengyan looked where his finger pointed, which was the girl's chin. She looked at it twice and saw no difference.

Cheng Kaixi walked around Bai Mengyan, came to the girl's bedside, and moved her head aside. Only then did she realize that there was something fishy about it.

It turned out that there was a thin line, a red line, on the girl's mandible.

This line is shrouded in light and shadow and cannot be seen at all. It can only be seen after the head is turned to the side.

It's not just the mandible, this line goes all the way to the back of the head.

The moment she saw it clearly, Bai Mengyan couldn't help but feel her teeth ache. Could it be what she thought? This, this, this, this is the face that was sewn on!

Cheng Kaixi seemed to have noticed something. Regardless of whether it was a corpse, she held the girl's face and turned back to check the other side.
