"Eh? Why didn't Sister Ruan come down?" Wen Renyu walked around to the passenger driver and knocked on the window, "Sister Ruan?"

no response.

Wen Renyu opened the car door, and turned pale with shock: "Sister Ruan?! Ah Ruan!"

Ah Ruan collapsed on the seat with a pale face, cold sweat covered his forehead, he woke up after being pinched by Wen Renyu several times: "Wenren... Sister Wenren."

"What's wrong with you, Ruan?" Wen Renyu wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Are you scared?"

"I don't know, I don't know..." Ah Ruan nervously grabbed the seat under him, "I seem to have seen this place before, I've seen it before."

"Have you seen it? Do you know where this is?"

"Wuyanjialan, this place is really Wuyanjialan...it's a nightmare! A nightmare!"

Seeing that Ah Ruan was speaking incoherently, Wen Renyu quickly comforted him in a gentle voice: "It's okay, it's okay, you see that you sweat so much, I'll go to the trunk to get you some water and a blanket."

Ah Ruan nodded weakly, and his cold fingers left Wen Renyu's arm.

"There are too many things in the trunk, let me help you." Le Wuyi volunteered to follow Wen Renyu to the back of the car.

"Yize," Ah Ruan said softly, "I'm cold, can you close the car door for me?"

Xia Yi gently closed the car door for her: "Relax, everyone is here, everything will be fine."

Two minutes later, Le Wuyi and Wen Renyu came back with blankets and water.

Wen Renyu covered the blanket with one hand, and opened the door with the other: "Sister Ruan, I'll—"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

There was no one in the car.

Chapter 39

Xie Yi settled down at Ye Kun's house and lived there for more than half a year.He used the information he collected in the lower realms to fabricate himself the identity of a university professor, so Ye Kun attributed all his doubts to Xie Yi being a nerd.

One day when Ye Kun returned home from his stall, he happened to meet Xie Yi working in the yard, with a row of shiny silver instruments lined up in front of him.

"What kind of bionics are you doing again?" Ye Kun grinned and sat down opposite Xie Yi, tsk-tsk, "I, a rough man, can't do this fine work."

"There is only a specialization in art." Xie Yi smiled, "Is the stove I made for you still good?"

"It can't be changed!" Ye Kun slapped his thigh, "It's just like magic, amazing!"

"That's good."

"But I'm quite surprised, you are so good at craftsmanship, why don't you let me tell others?"

"Isn't there a saying that 'every man is innocent, but a woman is guilty'?" Xie Yi was still busy with the work in hand, "I'm leaving soon, I don't want to cause trouble."

"Go? Where are you going? Didn't you say that you can't contact your family?"

"I can't spend my whole life eating and drinking at your house, can I? I also have other things to do."

Ye Kun drooped his face: "I'd rather you live here forever. Let's see how many things you've helped me do in the past six months? You can't even buy this stuff!"

"Okay, okay, it's not like I'll be gone in the future, I'll be back," Xie Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "In the past few months, I've taught the children next door to read and write, and I've saved some travel expenses. I want to go further south, to If you go to a place with more people, you might be able to get in touch."

"Xie Yi...do you really want to leave?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you last month, I'll leave in spring."

Ye Kun pursed his lips, and squeezed out two words after a while: "No."

"why?"

"At least before you go, you have to meet someone."

"Who?"

"You will know when the time comes, give me half a month." Ye Kun didn't say any more, got up and went straight back to the room.

Half a month later, the Ye family welcomed a female guest.

"Hello, I'm Huyan Caiwei, the person in charge of the BPI Northern Xinjiang Branch." Seeing Xie Yi's puzzled look, the other party added empathetically, "BPI is the National Supernatural Incident Investigation Bureau, which is responsible for the research and management of supernatural phenomena. "

Xie Yi stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Xie Yi."

"I heard that Mr. Xie is a university professor? I don't know where he got a high school in China?"

"My work experience is all overseas."

"In this way, it's no wonder that the Archives Bureau doesn't have any information about Mr. Xie." Huyan Caiwei said with sharp eyes, "Then what aspect of Mr. Xie's research?"

"Bionic... well, it should be considered a machine."

"Bionics?!" Excitement flashed across Huyan Caiwei's eyes, but she calmed down immediately, "Hey, machinery, that's really a very profound subject."

"Really? I think it's very interesting." Xie Yi smiled and looked at Ye Kun who was sitting on the side. "Ms. Huyan, you invited me to investigate me, right?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Kun really nodded.

"Ye Kun is the investigation commissioner of our investigation bureau in northern Xinjiang. He doesn't want to say, but I can tell you."

Xie Yi turned to Ye Kun with a smile of unknown meaning: "...so you took me in just to monitor me?"

"Of course not!" Ye Kun quickly denied it, and then added in a low voice, "...not all."

"Okay, since Ms. Huyan is straight to the point, please tell me straight. What do you want to know?"

"You came out of Wuyangaran, right?"

"Yes."

"Wuyanjialan is a monastery for ascetic monks in the northern region. It was abandoned hundreds of years ago. Why did you go there?"

"curious."

"Curiosity? A monastery that has long been abandoned?"

Xie Yi looked at Huyan Caiwei with a smile: "Aren't you curious? If you're not, why bother to keep an eye on an ordinary person who came out of Wuyanjialan?"

"Ordinary people? Not necessarily," Huyan Caiwei looked at Xie Yi, "Wuyan Jialan was destroyed overnight, nearly a hundred lives were slaughtered, and the vicious aura spread in all directions, almost turning the surrounding area into a place of death. Can single-handedly go from Killing it out there, ordinary people can't do it."

"Is there such a thing?" Xie Yi was startled, when Li Zhu and him went to investigate the site, they didn't find anything wrong, and now that the stronghold has been completed, they haven't heard of anything unusual.

Huyan Caiwei saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and felt very puzzled: "You really don't know?"

"I don't know." Xie Yi settled down, recalling the layout he made when he first set up the camouflage barrier. "I didn't go deep into the temple, but I saw it at the foot of the mountain from a distance. It really looks like a ruin."

Ye Kun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Perhaps there are some masters who have lived through these hundreds of years."

"It's not impossible." Huyan Caiwei nodded in agreement.

"Is there anything else you two want to ask?"

"Yes!" Huyan Caiwei's voice suddenly rose an octave, startling both Ye Kun and Xie Yi.

"……Please say."

"Mr. Xie, do you really study bionics?"

"……Yes."

Huyan Caiwei's eyes lit up instantly: "I'm also very interested in this! I heard about it from Ye Kun before I came here. Mr. Xie, you are such a genius! I wonder if you are interested in communicating with me? I think There are really not many people in this world who can calm down and do research. Since Mr. Xie has never taught in China, I can introduce you to some principals BLABLABLABLA."

"Eh? Didn't you want to investigate Wuyan Jialan?"

Huyan Caiwei covered Ye Kun's face, and continued to talk with great interest: "I personally think that the university near our headquarters is good. The students are very smart, especially the students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. They are very hardworking. Thank you. Sir, if you go there, you will definitely be able to make a big difference. Alas, their principal has complained to me a long time ago. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is short of people, and the money can’t be distributed. If you go, Mr. Xie, he will be happy BLABLABLABLA”

Xie Yi's sleeve was pulled by Huyan Caiwei, and he looked helplessly at Ye Kun, who looked helpless and slipped away with oil on his feet.

Xie Yi lowered his head and decided to try to enter meditation.

"Yize, are you in samadhi?" Le Wuyi patted Xia Yize's arm hanging by his side.

Wen Renyu threw the packed backpack over his shoulder, and took out a bright flashlight.Except for the bright beams of light, everything is submerged in an ink color that seems to be able to swallow everything.

"No, I still can't see anything." Wen Renyu looked at Xia Yize, "It's not like an ordinary spell."

"Maybe it's not a technique at all? Didn't you say it was high-tech before, Yi Ze?"

Xia Yi disagreed with Le Wuyi's opinion: "It's hard to say... In any case, the things inside are not so easy to deal with."

"Do you have any ideas?" Wen Renyu held up the flashlight, resting his free hand on the handle of the gun at his waist.

"Not yet, let's take a look inside." Xia Yi rummaged through the backpack, "First of all, make sure we don't get separated."

Le Wuyi stepped forward to help, and after 2 minutes, he pulled out a few bundles of ropes from his bag.Xia Yi tied a silkworm knot on each wrist respectively, and then tied the other ends of the three strands together to form a mixed knot.

Wen Renyu tugged on the rope to test the firmness of the knot: "It's ok."

Xia Yi nodded, and handed the loaded magazine to Le Wuyi: "Take it, go to my right."

"Give it to me? What do you do? And I don't know how to use it..."

Xia Yi held the end of the rope in his mouth and strengthened the silkworm knot on his right wrist: "My right hand is uncomfortable, so you should use it for self-defense. I just need a knife."

The three slowly moved towards the center of the tower in a triangular formation. Wen Renyu was in charge of observing the situation ahead, and Xia Le was in charge of guarding the left, right and rear respectively.

I don't know how long I have been walking in the dark, almost like walking for a whole night, but the long corridor still hasn't come to an end.The thick and silent darkness is like an overwhelming mist, which makes people almost out of breath.

"Yi, Yi Ze, have we turned our backs?" Le Wuyi frowned and thumped his throbbing heart, "It doesn't look like this tower is that big from the outside!
