But Mom and Dad couldn't have left us to leave the secret passage without permission, and I guess it all had something to do with this huge gravity-defying clod of earth in mid-air, because there was only one place to hide them.

So how do you get to that skywalk? I frowned slightly, it was too far away to make it clear, but it was surmising that the entrance should be in the secret passage that Xiaomo took me to before.

But then it's a bit of a problem. Because if my current speculation is correct, it means that my parents, mothers, and uncles must have followed Dean Lu into the door at the third staircase to the left. Then I guess I also found the small door under the staircase and the secret passage, and then maybe I got lost in the bends in the secret passage, and I accidentally stumbled into the air passage. But now that the door has been closed by Xiaomo, if I go back and knock on the door, even if Xiaomo is willing to open the door for me, it will definitely restrict my activities - I still can't go to my parents.

There must be other entrances to the secret passage, and there are several sunken stairs upstairs that I haven't checked, so maybe there really is more than one. I'm going to go back and have another look.

But just as I was about to turn around and go back, I glanced around again, and suddenly I thought the scene was very strange.

How to say, if this secret passage is really built for the mayor to avoid pursuit, then it stands to reason that it should be impossible to set up a dead end in such a large space, unless it is a labyrinth-shaped small secret passage. Because if you are really hunted down, it is not entirely impossible to think about the possibility of fleeing here in a panic. Moreover, there are many exits in the general secret passage to confuse the pursuer, so that the other party cannot judge which exit the target escaped from, so as to buy time for escape. So according to my opinion, instead of setting up a dead end, it is better to draw out an extra exit, even if it is not used to escape, it can also play a role in blinding.

The more I thought about it, the more it made sense, and I began to fumble around the wall, carefully observing the small holes in the wall. Finally, I stopped at one place - only the small hole here was slightly blown by the wind.

I first pushed the wall, and then tried the "impact method" that Xiaomo taught me, but there was no response at all. Just as I was a little discouraged and began to doubt my reasoning, I suddenly aimed at the kerosene lamp on the wall.

As if thinking of something, I reached out and turned the kerosene lamp in the same direction.

Sure enough, as the kerosene lamp turned at an angle, the wall in front of me began to slowly slide to the side, opening a small secret door to my left.

Sure enough, there are always a few ways to open the secret passage. I turned on my flashlight and carefully illuminated the path while looking at the skywalk in the distance and calculating the direction.

What should I do if I get lost...... There seemed to be a lot of forks in the road, and it was my first time going in......

No matter what, now Mom and Dad are important, and I have to rely on this to meet them. I secretly cheered myself up and walked towards the secret door.

As soon as I entered, I cautiously looked inside the secret door. Sure enough, there was also a kerosene lamp in the corresponding position on it, but it seemed to have burned out, so it was not lit.

I reached out and turned the kerosene lamp around, and the secret door was closed again. Now, except for the faint light through the small holes, all that is left is the light from the flashlight in his hand.

I took a deep breath and turned my head to walk inside. The secret door wasn't stuffy at all, maybe because of the small holes in the wall. The secret passage that Xiaomo took us through before was a little stuffy, and it should be far away from the wall with air holes.

After a short walk, I came across the first fork in the road. I chose the intersection against the wall, because at least through the blowholes I could look at my position from the outside to see if my direction was off target. And most importantly, even if I find out that I have taken the wrong path, I can go back the way I came.

But soon I realized that I had to leave the wall, because the road in the direction of the wall was blocked. Then, after a few more curves, I felt it, and a small glimmer of light reappeared in front of my eyes. I hurriedly went up and looked outside, hoping to determine where I was again, but found that I could see very limited things from this position, and I couldn't see the clod of dirt and the skywalkway.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but I had to continue to walk forward helplessly, hoping to reach the air aisle by luck.

Actually, Mom and Dad, they don't necessarily really be on that clod, maybe they got lost in the secret passage and are still there. But the feeling of panic before must not be fake, they must have encountered something. And now, in my opinion, the most likely place for them to "encounter something" is on the big clod.

The more inaccessible you are, the more anxious you become. I wish I could go through any of Doraemon's doors and reach Mom and Dad at once. But in the current situation, I can only carefully identify the direction step by step, and uneasily calculate whether I have deviated from the route.

When I turned the corner and I didn't know how many forks in the road, I suddenly stepped on something, and I shone it with a flashlight in confusion, and something appeared under the light that made my heart tremble.

Dean Lu's USB flash drive. It was the important USB flash drive handed to Dr. Lu by the director of the building in the residential area of D City, and I remember that it was taken by my uncle in the end......

So my uncle actually walked through here?! So I'm going in the right direction so far?! I was suddenly full of confidence - maybe if I continued on this path, I would really be able to see my parents soon.

couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly picked up the USB flash drive, if it wasn't for the mud, I really wanted to kiss it fiercely. Carefully wiped it a little clean with the corner of the garment, and carefully put it into the close-fitting pocket.

I shone my flashlight around again, and when I made sure that nothing else was missing, I continued to walk cautiously, but if I looked closely at the moment, I couldn't help but speed up my steps a little, and my eyes became a little more enthusiastic.

I didn't encounter anything for the rest of the long way. Gradually, I began to wonder a little again: Did I still go wrong? At this time, I happened to hit another wall, and I couldn't help but rush forward again to squint and look out. Even if I can see a limited amount of things, I may be able to discover something valuable.

Sure enough, I saw that clod!! It was not far above my head. But there was no shadow of the aerial walkway. Could it be that they're all in the dead end of what I can see right now?

Anyway, I need to keep going up, even if I can't find the entrance to the skywalk all at once. However, as long as you are at the same level as that clod, the chance of finding it will still increase, but it may take a little more effort.

I picked myself up again and walked forward. This time I deliberately picked some uphill paths, hoping to get to the dirt clod layer early. But soon, for the first time since I entered the secret passage, I encountered a dead end.

Looking at the high wall in front of me, I was dumbfounded - is this asking me to go back?! But...... I've walked so many forks in the road that I've forgotten which way I got in......
