Chapter Seventy-Five: In the Cave

  Just as Xiong Wanyi was about to pull the trigger, Sun Baozi suddenly changed his mind. He blinked and said: "Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back to the office."

  When Sun Baozi spoke, he saw that the several investigators from Wushi had taken down the long wooden box behind their backs. After opening it, inside was a shotgun similar to Remington, but this shotgun had an added drum magazine, which made Sun Baozi's eyes widen in shock. Ximen Lian beside him said: "Now you know how much we envy the people of Wushi?"

  Sun Baozi nodded and said, "Go back and tell Ouyang to prepare a set of this for me too." After finishing speaking, Sun Baozi blinked his eyes at one of the five-room investigators whose name he couldn't remember, saying: "You, whoever you are, keep an eye on things from up there and inform Director Xie. Have them bring the people who fainted upstairs. But don't let them get close to the black hole. Also, if we six can't make it back within six hours, contact the bureau. Whatever, since you're not going down either, lend me this outfit of yours."

  The investigator hesitated for a moment, considering Deputy Director Sun's face, and somewhat reluctantly handed over the shotgun he had just gotten used to, along with a spare drum. Afterwards, the investigator also took off his waist pack containing talismans and various tools, but this was something that Sun really couldn't use. Just as he was about to refuse, Ximen Qing from behind saw his intention, took the waist pack for him, and said: "Sun, your waist isn't suitable for carrying this, I'll carry it for you, if there's anything you need, just ask me." Without waiting for Sun's agreement or disagreement, he first tied the waist pack around his own waist.

  When Sun Baozi was taking over, Old Mo found a large reel of rope in the corner with someone. After straightening it out, it was about 400-500 meters long. These ropes had been soaked in tung oil and showed no signs of deterioration after many years. They were products from Liu Xiang's era, unexpectedly, after testing their sturdiness, even someone as heavy as Sun Baozi could slide down the rope without any problem.

  The people in the second room tied a stone to the rope and threw it into the black hole to test its depth. A muffled sound came from below, indicating that the stone had hit the ground. After pulling the rope back up and measuring its length, they found that the seemingly bottomless pit was only less than thirty meters deep. At this time, Wang Shaoran from Room Five took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out black pills the size of soybeans, distributing them to everyone. As he handed them out, he said, "These are Blindness Pills. Each person takes one pill and holds it in their mouth without swallowing."

  After everything was ready, Sun Baozi asked Xiong Wanyi to bring Liu Butong over. Ximen Lian and the others understood what Sun Baozi meant, so they started bustling about, preparing to tie a rope around Liu Butong's body before sending him down. Unfortunately, they still misunderstood his intention. After glancing at them sideways, Sun Baozi also came over, pretending to help, and took advantage of Liu Butong's unsteadiness on his feet to suddenly turn around and bump him into the black hole with his buttocks.

  With a scream, Liu Bu's entire body disappeared into the darkness, and a layer of red mist floated up from the darkness, but it only took a moment for this layer of mist to disappear into the darkness as well.

  Sun Baozi stood at the edge of the black hole, shouting loudly downwards: "Old Liu, are you still alive? I'm not kidding, if you want to stay alive, give me a response! The brothers are thinking of ways to pull you up!"

  After a good while, a faint voice came from below: "I'm almost dead, Sun Juzhang, is this what you call letting me off?"

  Sun Baozi sighed and said, "You say it's not good to stand there, why do you have to stand in such a dangerous place? There are many people and hands, don't mention bumping into each other, if one slips with their foot, they can fall down themselves. Old Liu, I was worried about you just now, look, you fell! Not that I said it, as long as nothing happens to you, it's fine, wait a minute - I'll go find someone to help you right away."

  After Sun Baozi finished speaking, he turned around and made a gesture to Ximen Lian and the others. The other side understood and lowered the rope down. Ximen Lian was the first to slide down along the rope, and after landing, he shouted up at the top: "It's okay below, can't find Zhang Mingyu and Du Qizhe, come down one more person to help search together"

  When Ximen Chain's voice fell, Old Mo and another investigator slipped down one after the other. After they went down, they talked to Ximen Chain for a few words, but their voices were too small to hear what they were saying. However, it was probably related to finding the previous two investigators.

  After a while, Xi Men Chuan's shouting voice came out from the black hole again: "Sun Jue Chang, you'd better come down, it seems like there's something wrong down here, come and take a look"

  After hearing Ximen Chain's shout, Sun Ao's eyebrows raised, and he muttered to himself: "What's going on down there? Do I have to go down..." After muttering, he looked at Yang Yue behind him and said: "Old Yang, why don't you go down and take a look first?"

  At this time, Yang Xiao was staring at a ball of darkness in the cave, and after hearing Sun Buzi's words, Yang Xiao looked at Sun Buzi with a smile that was not quite a smile. It seemed like he had something to say, but before speaking, he suddenly changed his mind. After smiling, Yang Xiao didn't need any rope, and he jumped into the black hole by himself. Then, he saw a white figure disappear into the darkness.

  Just as Yang Xiao descended to the bottom of the cave, Sun Baozi followed without a word, carrying his shotgun with shells on his back. He grabbed the rope and hooked his legs around it, and his large body followed Yang Xiao's shadow down to the bottom of the cave.

  When Sun Peng's legs touched the ground, his body swayed and he had already grabbed the shotgun behind him. At this time, several people in front of him were startled, no one expected someone to follow Yang Xiao down so closely. Xi Menglian, Lao Mo, and another investigator all looked at Sun Peng with a terrified expression, not knowing what it meant for the muzzle to be pointing at them.

  After seeing that there was no danger, Sun Baozi put away his gun and looked at Ximen Qing and several others, saying: "I'm not the one who said it, but Ximen Daifu, what's going on downstairs? Why did you have to call me down?"

  At this time, Ximen Lian also furrowed his brow and listened to Sun Baozi's question. He pointed at Liu Bu Zhen who was half-lying on the ground and said: "When I came down, I saw him lying on the ground, Zhang Mingyu and Du Qize were nowhere to be found. Later, Old Mo and the others came down, and we three were busy with this, but still couldn't find Zhang Mingyu and Du Qize."

  "Is it to get me down to help you find someone, huh?" Sun Aozi secretly called out in shame. At first, he thought Liu Bu really had the ability to counterattack and controlled Ximen Lian and several others, forcing them to deceive him into coming down. He didn't expect that getting him down was just to ask for his help in finding someone.

  It's probably because he was in the dark that the scenery around him became clearer, and the sand under Sun Baozi's feet was very soft, so Liu Bu didn't die from falling. Although he couldn't see too far, it was still much better than not being able to see anything on top.

  Ximen Lian repeated the directions he had given to Sun Qiang, who listened attentively with narrowed eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he looked at Ximen Lian and said, "Isn't it just about finding someone? That's not difficult, is it?"

  After finishing, Sun Baozi shouted loudly at the top: "Come down! Let's work together to find someone?" As soon as his voice fell, there was a response from above, and then more than a dozen investigators slid down one after another along this rope. After these people came down, they went straight to Sun Baozi.

  "Zhang Mingyu and Du Qizhe, the two brothers, still haven't been found," Sun Wuzi looked at the investigators in front of him, paused for a moment, and said: "We will now start searching intensively, we can't split up into groups, everyone must stay together. If anyone gets separated, they must return here immediately. No matter what, preserving our lives is the top priority."
