Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 563 Abyss Project
With a single sentence, Jiang Cheng dispelled his concerns, "If we were together, you wouldn't have survived until now."
"That... Pi Ruan, what exactly is it?" the man asked warily. "Also, what exactly is your purpose in coming here?"
Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment. "I can only answer your second question. I'm here to solve the supernatural events in the mine."
On the way back, Jiang Cheng tried to analyze it from another perspective. Assuming that the child was lying, then what was his purpose, and the purpose of the person behind him?
To divide the team internally and bury the hidden danger of mutual suspicion in their mission, it must be like this.
But after careful analysis, Jiang Cheng felt that this possibility was very low.
At least, Pi Ruan shouldn't be chosen, after all, he still had some trust in Pi Ruan. If he had to choose, it should be Chen Qiang or Huai Yi, these newcomers.
So... what the child said was probably true.
Moreover, Pi Ruan's performance was indeed problematic. Not only did he knock down two strong men, but when he saw that he was going back to the tent to get something, he also suggested following him.
Jiang Cheng suspected that the real Pi Ruan was already dead, and the one in the team now was a ghost in disguise.
But they hadn't entered the tunnel yet, so how did the ghost find them?
Could it be that the ghost impersonating Pi Ruan had nothing to do with the supernatural events in the Grey Stone Mountain Tunnel, and it was an independent ghost?
According to the boy, the ghost's face was rotten. Could there be some clues hidden in this?
His thoughts were chaotic for a while, but after returning to the team, Jiang Cheng's expression was as if nothing had happened, and he said calmly, "Sorry for the wait, everyone, let's go."
Just as Jiang Cheng was thinking and walking, Huai Yi quietly leaned over and asked in a low voice, taking advantage of the others' unpreparedness, "Did you clean everything up?"
Jiang Cheng looked up at him.
Huai Yi carried a backpack and asked, shrinking his neck, "Didn't leave anyone alive, right?"
"I just went back to get something," Jiang Cheng replied.
Huai Yi showed an expression that said, 'You don't need to explain, I understand everything,' and at the same time, the fear in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Cheng couldn't be suppressed.
In his opinion, Jiang Cheng must have gone back and killed all these people.
As expected of Scarlet Deep, killing people was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, and after returning, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat faster, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Cheng had something on his mind and was too lazy to care about what Huai Yi thought.
He didn't plan to share the fact that there was a problem with Pi Ruan for the time being, but chose to continue observing, after all, he couldn't determine whether there was only one ghost mixed into the team, or more.
Moreover, he hadn't figured out the ghost's purpose.
If possible, he would leave the ghost who killed Pi Ruan in the instance forever, which would be considered revenge for Pi Ruan.
The ghost disguised as Pi Ruan seemed to be fine. According to Fatty later, after he left, he even argued with Fu Fu.
But obviously his mouth wasn't as good as hers, and he was sprayed with dog blood, and several of his parents were dragged into it.
Later, it was Lin Wan'er and the man named Luo He who came forward, one pulling one, to end the farce.
......
At the other end of the forest, the man from before was leading a few people down the mountain in a hurry. His face was hurried, and there were streaks of blood on the back of his hand from being scratched by branches.
He was taking a shortcut that wasn't often used.
Soon, they walked out of the forest.
After coming down from a steep slope, there was a relatively wide dirt road.
Although it looked dilapidated, it was already the only way to drive into the mountains and to the gold mine.
Not far away was the police checkpoint.
Several cars were parked on the side of the road, and several tents were set up nearby.
"Captain Wu!" the man hurriedly ran towards the tent. The police outside led the man into the tent, where two people were sitting.
One man and one woman, the man was probably in his early 30s, and the woman was about 25 years old, wearing a black windbreaker that looked very capable.
The identity certificate in his hand was borrowed from the man, who said it was just in case.
"Feng Bin," the man said, "What's wrong?"
After taking the mineral water handed over by the woman, Feng Bin first took a few big gulps, and then told the two of them about his encounter with Jiang Cheng and his group, and the rotten-faced ghost.
Hearing this, the woman raised her sharp eyebrows. "There shouldn't be anyone from us around here. We haven't received any news."
"That's right." Feng Bin hurriedly took out the identity certificate Luo He gave him, handed it to the man, and said, "I just felt that they were not right, so I paid special attention and borrowed his identity certificate."
"If he hadn't shown his identity certificate, I definitely wouldn't have let them go." Feng Bin behaved very modestly in front of these two people, because the police outside were very polite to them, and he naturally assumed that these two were leaders from the police team.
After seeing Luo He's identity certificate, the man called Captain Wu and the woman next to him both showed puzzled expressions.
This identity certificate looked like a Night Watcher's identity certificate, the same as theirs, but there were subtle differences.
The man was sent down by the executive department of the Night Watchers, his name was Wu Yue, a Grade B specialist.
It was right to call him Captain Wu, because he was the captain of the Night Watcher team, and the young woman was his team member.
He pinched Luo He's identity certificate, and the texture in his hand was very familiar. This identity certificate should be real, but what puzzled him was that next to the gold mark of the Night Watcher's logo, there was also a pair of deep red wings.
Looking at it for a long time, the wings became more and more strange, like a pair of eyes.
He had never seen such an identity certificate, at least not in the executive department. Could it be... a special department directly under the headquarters?
With doubts, he slowly opened the identity certificate. Inside was a man's photo, gentle and refined, holding a black-covered book in his hand.
The holy light shone on him, like a pastor.
Below the photo were a few lines of words, which seemed to have been too long, and the font was blurred. Wu Yue needed to get very close to barely see part of it clearly.
"Abyss Project member: Luo He."
"Selected family: Luo Family."
"Whether to approve: Yes."
"Belonging: Night Watcher Scarlet Deep Team."
"Number: 3."
"Level: s."
"Permissions: s."
"Confidentiality level: Top secret."
"I watch in the dark night, hoping that more people will sing the dawn - Night Watcher."
Seeing this, Wu Yue's fingers trembled, his eyes fixed on the words below the photo, "What's the situation? Night Watcher Scarlet Deep Team..."
"S-level member..."
"Luo He."
......
A group of people stood on an open space. In front of them was a dark cave entrance. The cave entrance was larger than imagined, like the giant mouth of a ferocious beast.
It seemed that this was the entrance to the gold mine.
Rails were laid outside the cave entrance. The rails should have existed for a long time. Under such humid conditions, the sleepers underneath were severely corroded.
