Chapter 15: Keep Moving Forward

While I was still thinking about it, Mu Zihan was silent for a while, and then began to respond to Lin Shixuan in a low voice: "This ancient castle is getting more and more secretive, in fact, not only you, but I also have a discovery." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When I heard this, I was stunned, and then I looked at my friend in amazement, and thought to myself: I have been walking with him all this way, and how come I have not felt anything suspicious except that I feel that my steps are slow, and that I am a little frightened by the darkness. Mu Zihan was obviously experiencing the same thing as me, what did he notice that I hadn't noticed?

"What was the discovery?" I asked faster and more anxiously than Lin Shixuan, and I wanted to know what important clues I had overlooked.

"Although we couldn't see it clearly due to the lack of light, I still found that there were many muddy footprints in this tunnel leading to the twin towers, and judging from these footprints, they were definitely not left by the same person." Mu Zihan replied to me, and at the same time said to Lin Shixuan,

Then he explained: "Before coming here, I checked the weather in this area and determined that just yesterday, there was a heavy rain in this area. Although the weather is nice today and the sun is shining. However, due to the dense woods, the soil on the ground does not dry so easily and remains muddy. Moreover, since this tunnel is in a dense forest, you will inevitably need to pass through that small patch of muddy woods before entering it. Then in this way, you will definitely leave footprints with dirt. Siyuan, in the soles of my shoes and yours, there are also the same mud, and where we walked, we also left such footprints, which is the best proof. ”

"Could it be that there are still people entering the Twin Towers through this tunnel today?" After I understood what Mu Zihan meant, I couldn't help but be a little worried. After all, if the situation is really like what Mu Zihan said, then will there be several or even dozens of members of the "Butterfly" organization who are waiting in front of us, armed with loaded guns?

"Not just today, but not long before we came in, there were people walking through this passage." Mu Zihan squatted down, picked up something from the ground, crushed it on his fingers and said, "Because some of these footprints have not yet dried up." ”

Hearing this, I was really nervous, not that I was afraid, but after combining Lin Shixuan's discovery and the clues that Mu Zihan had mastered, I felt that since those people were not in the ancient castle, it was very likely that they were really in the twin towers in front of us.

If this is the case, then why should we go on, because this kind of obvious sacrifice may be in vain makes me feel that it is not worth it, so I say, "Wouldn't it be like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth if we continue to walk?" ”

Obviously, Lin Shixuan's thoughts may be similar to mine, after I finished speaking, without waiting for Mu Zihan to speak, he spoke first on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "I think what Siyuan said is right, so let's do it, I'm almost done here, you wait for me, after I get it, I will rush over as quickly as possible, and after we meet, we will go into the weird twin towers together to investigate." ”

"That's not going to work." Mu Zihan flatly refused to say.

"Why?" Lin Shixuan asked.

"Now that you have your tasks, you need to start monitoring the messages coming from the installed equipment at all times. Moreover, if Siyuan and I really have an accident, you must immediately drive away from this manor as soon as possible, and then immediately come here with the police and Interpol. In that way, maybe Siyuan and I will have a glimmer of life. Originally, I wanted to give this task to Siyuan, but unfortunately, this guy didn't even have a driver's license and didn't drive, so he had to cheapen you. "I feel that Mu Zihan talked about such a serious topic as if it was very relaxed, and even made a little joke about me.

Moreover, before we could speak, he continued: "Second, Siyuan and I can't wait that long at all. You don't know, the tunnels where the two of us are right now are surrounded by unknown mechanisms. We can move forward now by stepping on the footprints of those who went in before. If we stop and wait for you, in case someone inside suddenly comes out during this time, you haven't arrived yet. When the time comes, we will not be able to advance or retreat, and we will really have only one dead end. ”

"In that case, why don't you come back. Anyway, you've already determined that there really is a group of mysterious people living in this manor, so it doesn't matter if you check the twin towers or not. Besides, I've installed bugs and cameras in several of the main locations in the castle, which should be enough to monitor the manor. Lin Shixuan was obviously a little anxious, and said hurriedly: "After we go back, as long as we are sure that the people living here are really members of the 'Butterfly' organization, we can directly mobilize the special police and Interpol to sweep this place." ”

"Nope." After Mu Zihan was silent for a while, he continued to slowly lead me forward, and said, "Although what you said is right, and your method is indeed safe, it takes too long, and there is also a great risk on the other hand. ”

"The other side of the risk?" I couldn't help but interject: "Zihan, what are you referring to?" I think Officer Lin's method is relatively more reliable, and besides, isn't that what we originally planned? It may take a lot of manpower and time, but at least it can be safe. ”

I really want Mu Zihan to change his mind now and go home. Maybe before coming to the other side of the manor, or before acting, or even before hearing the conversation between Mu Zihan and Lin Shixuan just now, I was still fearless in my heart.

But when I realized that with each step we took now, the closer we got to danger, and that, at the end of this dark passage, there might be those members of the vicious "Butterfly" organization who were like outlaws, my heart really began to grow.

"Actually, before the operation, I mentally thought that the method of relying on bugging devices and other equipment monitoring was just a preparatory plan." Mu Zihan stopped and said in a low voice: "If this ancient castle manor is really one of the dens of the 'Butterfly' organization, it is impossible for them not to find out about the reconnaissance and monitoring equipment we have installed. Even if we had rushed over as soon as we found out that the equipment had been destroyed, I think they would have already fled. When the time comes, all our leads will be broken. Therefore, we must now move forward and truly determine whether this castle manor is one of the dens of the 'butterfly' organization in China. ”
