As she listened to the leaves rustling in the breeze, Qiu Mo felt a chill down her spine, almost making her scream out loud in the next second.
At this moment, Gu Nian's expression didn't look any better either. His normally warm face was now filled with worry. His brows were tightly knitted, and his mouth was pursed into a line. After thinking carefully for a long time, he couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.
"Let's go, we'll go once more!" After considering it for a moment, Gu Shenwei decided that perhaps they really didn't notice that they had taken the wrong path just now. Go on again. This time, you have to be careful not to let this happen again.
It had been a long night and there was no signal on their phones. They couldn't find Luo Hao in this deserted amusement park … Gu Nian couldn't believe it. If something really happened, what would Qiu Mo do?
Remembering his mission to go down the mountain, Gu Nian's expression became resolute. No matter what, he must not let anything happen to Qiu Mo!
"Alright." At this moment, Qiu Mo couldn't think of any other good idea other than walking around once more.
Thus, in the following period of time, Qiu Mo and Gu Nian purposely slowed down their pace, carefully checking if it was a straight line with each step.
Twenty minutes passed. Looking at the dog hole in front of him, Qiu Mo felt a sense of despair.
"What the hell is going on? What should we do? " Qiu Mo asked in a low voice.
Gu Nian frowned in silence. It was unknown what she was thinking. Qiu Mo also stood there silently.
For a moment, there was a breathless silence. The surrounding sound seemed to have frozen in an instant. The wind, the breathing … All that was left was silence, causing one's hair to stand on end.
"Why don't we dig out of that hole and have a look?" Qiu Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Everything started out wrong after this hole. There was a signal before he came in, but somehow it was cut off when he came in. Even the indescribable sense of pressure in the air only appeared after he had drilled his way in.
"Alright." Gu Nian didn't hesitate for a moment. She agreed almost without hesitation.
This time, Qiu Mo did not care about her image, she only wanted to leave this place. Therefore, she was almost unable to wait any longer, and immediately took the lead to enter the cave.
After Qiu Mo left, he did not make any sound for a long time. Gu Nian could not help but feel nervous and asked softly,
"How is it? What's the situation over there? "
"…" Qiu Mo was silent for a moment, before replying, "You, come here and you will know."
Qiu Mo's tone was strange, and he was even trembling slightly.
Gu Nian could not help being surprised and no longer hesitated. She also took a big step forward. The moment she raised her head, Gu Nian's heart sank.
This side of the wall was exactly the same as the other side. They had come back!
Unresigned, Qiu Mo took out his phone. However, no matter how high he moved, there was still no signal on the screen. Qiu Mo dejectedly put down the phone and sized up the boy in front of her.
After a moment of silence, Qiu Mo turned his head to ask Gu Nian, "Do you have a sabre?"
"What?" Gu Nian was frightened when she saw Qiu Mo gritting his teeth. Hesitating for a moment, Gu Nian felt that Qiu Mo shouldn't have hurt her or him. She took out the key from her waist, pulled out a small Swiss army knife, and passed it to Qiu Mo.
After Qiu Mo received it, he did not hesitate at all. He took two steps forward and ruthlessly cut a few deep marks on a tree in front of him.
Returning the sabre to Gu Nian, Qiu Mo lowered his head to look at the dog hole, took a deep breath, and quickly went back inside.
Gu Nian immediately understood what Qiu Mo was trying to do. He couldn't help but admire how smart this girl was.
In the next instant, Gu Nian drilled through. He quickly rushed to the front of the tree. When he saw the new scratch on the tree, he almost despaired.
"How is that possible?" Qiu Mo mumbled to himself. Right, how could this be possible? The two sides of the cave were completely the same world. Even the marks he had drawn earlier could be replicated in two different spaces.
This was simply too unbelievable. Qiu Mo froze on the spot, not knowing what to do next.
"How about this, one of us will stand outside while the other will stand inside. One of them was drawing marks on a tree, and the other was looking at what was going on there. " Gu Nian thought for a moment and suggested.
There was nothing else they could do, and they had no idea what was happening. They had no idea what was going on.
Qiu Mo thought for a long time. At this moment, besides agreeing, he really did not know what else to do.
Just as he said. Qiu Mo held onto his sabre and remained at the side. After making an agreement with Gu Nian on where to draw the line, Gu Nian went over to the other side.
"Alright." Qiu Mo knew that he had found the location.
Without any hesitation, Qiu Mo followed the previously agreed location information and heavily cut another deep mark on the tree trunk.
"How is it?" Qiu Mo asked excitedly.
"Come and take a look." Gu Nian's voice was a little muffled, so Qiu Mo couldn't hear her clearly. She could only obey and go over.
He excitedly ran to Gu Nian's side. Qiu Mo happily thought that he would finally see what he wanted to see, but unexpectedly, he saw an identical mark on the tree in front of Gu Nian!
"How is that possible? How did it happen? "How is that possible!?" Qiu Mo cried out in alarm. She could not hold it in any longer. This incident was simply too weird. It completely overturned Qiu Mo's view of the world for the past 20 years.
"Just now, it seemed to have appeared out of thin air. And just like that, it appeared, inch by inch. "As I expected, this mark is the same as the one you drew just now." Gu Nian had already digested this matter and spoke with a calm voice.
Qiu Mo did not answer, but tacitly agreed to Gu Nian's conjecture. For a moment, both of them fell into silence.
"If I'm not wrong, is this... Wall-Hitting Ghost? " After a while, Qiu Mo cautiously asked. It was as if the words would become a fact if spoken out loud.
"But the Wall-Hitting Ghost would only circle around a fixed area, there's no reason for it to be copied from a place separated by a wall."
Gu Nian had already thought of this possibility a long time ago. It was just that in theory, there were some things that didn't make sense. He felt that this situation wasn't just simply a matter of beating the wall with ghosts.
"To be honest, I really want to push down this wall and see what's going on!" Qiu Mo looked at the wall and said helplessly.
Me too. Although he didn't say it aloud, Gu Nian was thinking the same thing. However, reason told him that he could not do so. There must be a reason behind the current situation. They could not cause any damage here, or else there would be a lot of trouble.
Thinking about the way Officer Xu looked at them in the police station, Gu Nian couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear and relief. Luckily, they didn't do anything to get caught by Officer Xu. Otherwise, it would have been unimaginable …
He couldn't find a solution to the problem, nor did he know the reason behind the current situation. Qiu Mo thought of Luo Hao, who was still waiting for them. He wondered how Luo Hao was doing now …
"Does the Mao Mountain Sect not have any magical equipment to use?" Qiu Mo did not give up and asked Gu Nian.
"There is, but …" Gu Nian looked troubled.
"But what?" Hearing that there was a way, Qiu Mo's eyes lit up. No matter how difficult it was, as long as there was a way, she would do her best to give it a try!
"However... "I don't have it with me …" Gu Nian's voice became softer and softer until it sounded like the buzz of a mosquito. However, Qiu Mo still heard it.
"…" Qiu Mo was speechless. He would at least carry the Divine Seal Brush and the Divine Seal Book with him when he went out. He was the head disciple of the Mao Mountain Sect, but he actually didn't bring any magical equipment with him when he went out …
Please, can you be more professional, please!
Gu Nian rubbed her nose awkwardly, feeling a little annoyed. He originally thought that nothing would happen today when he went out with Luo Hao and the others.
"Oh yeah, I heard that when we encounter the Wall-Hitting Ghost, as long as we keep walking, we can leave with our eyes covered. Do you want to give it a try?" Qiu Mo said again.
"But …" Looking at the dark forest, Gu Nian felt that this method was very dangerous.
"Let's give it a try, what else can we do?" Qiu Mo looked expectantly at Gu Nian.
Gu Nian hesitated for a moment. She knew that there was no other way, so she might as well treat it as if it was a fight to the death.
"Fine." Gu Nian finally agreed.
Although he decided to give it a try, he still had to consider their safety. Gu Shenwei looked around but didn't find any usable tools. Helpless, he could only break a branch from a nearby tree, neither too long nor too short. It appeared to be about one meter long.
Qiu Mo didn't know what Gu Nian was up to, but he just stared blankly. When he saw that Gu Nian had broken a branch, Qiu Mo felt a little strange.
"What do you want the branches for?"
"Wait a minute, we'll each grab one end of the branch. If we lose it, we'll be in trouble." Gu Nian replied, then thought of another question.
"What are we going to use to cover our eyes?"
"Eh …" Qiu Mo was stunned, she had not thought of this question before.
Looking around, Qiu Mo sadly found that there was nothing else she could use. She spread out her hands and helplessly said, "Why don't we close our eyes."
"…" Gu Nian curled her lips. "When a person is afraid, they won't be able to resist opening their eyes. Are you sure you can do that?"
"I... I can try! " The more Qiu Mo spoke, the softer his voice became. It was obvious that he was not confident and the words he said did not have much credibility.
