After Sun Baozi finished speaking, he pulled Yang Jun towards the dark place in front. Sun's skill at guessing poker cards had already gained some fame in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and now there was really no other way out, so everyone could only follow him. After walking for a while, they indeed found a trampled xenon lamp bowl. This suddenly gave everyone a bit more confidence.

  Unfortunately, the good scenery didn't last long. After walking forward for a very long time, they didn't discover any more damaged xenon lamps. Xiong Wanyi was the first to lose his patience and said to Sun Buzi: "Don't go any further, Sun Dasheng, do you still dare say that you've never gotten lost before?"

  Actually, Sun Baozi had already started to lose confidence in his heart, but he still had a strong hint in his mind that only by doing so could he get out. However, after being stirred up by Xiong Wanyi, the little confidence Sun Baozi had was almost completely consumed.

  Sun Baozi stopped in his tracks, looking at Xiong Wanyi with a somewhat stubborn expression and said: "I'm not walking together with you? It's not like I said, whatever happens, I won't run away, we'll all take the blame together, what are you afraid of?"

  "Sun Baozi, do you have a plan or not? Are you thinking of..." Xiong Wanyi said halfway through when he suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the position behind Sun Baozi. Sun Baozi immediately reacted, quickly turning around and following Xiong Wanyi's gaze to look over. Just then, in the thick fog, a dark entrance appeared faintly visible.

  Sun Baozi walked a few steps towards the direction of the cave entrance and looked even clearer. They had already reached the end of this cave, just a few meters away from the wall of the cave, another inner cave appeared, which was as high as one person. Now everyone's eyes were staring at this cave entrance, and Xiong Wanyi was the first to ask Sun Baozi: "What is inside here?"

  Sun Baozi's eyes stared at the entrance of the cave, and his mouth replied: "Do I look like someone who has been here before? Even if you ask, you shouldn't be asking me, should you?" As he said the last sentence, Sun Baozi had already shifted his gaze to Yang Xiao, as if waiting for his response.

  After seeing the entrance of the hole, Yang Wei's expression became somewhat unnatural. He took a deep breath and said to Sun Bi: "I haven't heard that there is such an inner cave in the yin-yang pulse either. I've been down several similar yin-yang pulses, but this situation, it's also my first time encountering it."

  In Sun Wuzi's eyes, Yang Xiao's words seemed somewhat insincere, as if there was something he didn't want to say out loud. However, judging from Yang Xiao's character, when they arrived at the entrance of the cave, he didn't take a defensive stance, which suggested that this inner cave wasn't too dangerous. But after seeing the inner cave, Sun Wuzi seemed to have suddenly realized something. He looked at the inner cave again, then at Yang Xiao, and a sly smile, unique to old foxes like him, appeared on his face.

  But after understanding, Sun Baozi's curiosity about the inner cave became more and more intense. Since he couldn't get the information he wanted from Yang Xiao's mouth, he had to find out through other means. Sun Baozi took a glance at Yang Xiao, then looked at the inner cave in front of him, and suddenly opened his mouth to shout: "After following for so long, are you going to show up? Not that I'm saying it, but originally I didn't want to disturb you, however now this riddle seems like it can only be solved by bothering you..."

  As soon as Sun Baozi finished speaking, all the investigators at the People's Survey Bureau, except for Yang Xiao, turned around to look behind them. However, there was no sign of anyone in the hazy scene behind them. Just when everyone thought Sun Baozi was bluffing, a vague figure emerged from the fog beside them.

  As the distance drew closer, the figure's appearance became clearer. It was Aiko, who had been crouching in the corridor yesterday after witnessing the bloody scene, vomiting. But now Aiko no longer wore her police uniform; she was dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit, with something similar to night vision goggles on her eyes. Aiko had a bulging backpack on her back and a pendant made of some unknown stone hanging from her neck. In her hand, she held an Uzi micro-submachine gun equipped with a silencer.

  After showing up, Aiguo smiled at Sun Baozi and said: "I thought I hid it deep enough, no one would ever find out in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, you, Sun Juzhang, still discovered me. Can you tell me what flaw you found? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

  Sun Baozi chuckled and said, "Can't sleep? Call me, I've been having insomnia lately too. The person who used to chat with me is now lying in the hospital, and I'm worried that no one will talk to me. You showed up at just the right time! It's not me saying it, but this is fate!"

  Ai Guo took a glance at Sun Baozi and said, "What about Liu Bu Zhen then? Aren't you afraid he'll run away? There's only one of you upstairs, I can barely keep an eye on him, let alone Liu Bu Zhen."

  "Just now I was a bit afraid, but suddenly I figured it out——" Sun Baozi squinted his eyes at Ai Guo, paused for a moment, and continued: "You're not staying in Xuanhu for Liu Bu's sake. Since he knows the location of the underground yin-yang vein here, you, or rather your people, won't let him go. If it were usual times, you might not have had the strength to deal with him. But now that he's fallen into a great misfortune, if you don't take advantage of him, it wouldn't be in line with the style of your Religious Committee. By the way, judging from the timing, it should have been the previous chairman Min Tianyuan who arranged for you to come to Xuanhu to find the center of the yin-yang vein. Who's in charge of you now? Is it Huang Baozi or our Director Hao's older brother?"

  When Sun Baozi was speaking, Aiguo's eyes were getting bigger and bigger. After Sun finished speaking, the smile on Aiguo's face had disappeared. He paused for a moment before looking at Sun Baozi with a cold gaze and said: "I understand now, you have planted someone in our committee, otherwise it would not be possible to know such details."

  "You don't understand," Sun Baozi smiled indifferently and said, "Do you need to use an undercover agent for such a small thing? A phone call can clarify everything. Besides, what's my background, shouldn't you know? Is there a better undercover agent than me?"

  After finishing, Sun Baozi looked at the pendant on Ai Guo's neck and said: "However, your committee really has good things. Is that thing on your neck the one that keeps those monsters from getting close? Do you have any extras? Can you also give me two?"

  Ai Guo took a look at Sun Baozi, didn't say anything, and instead stuffed the pendant into his own clothes.

  "Cut the crap, let's get to the point." Sun Wukong smiled and continued, pointing into the cave: "You should know what this place is, right? Not that I'm saying it, but just a few hours ago, I saved you once. Let's not mention whether you're grateful or not, tell me what's going on inside the cave, and I'll consider us even."

  Aige glanced at the dark entrance, then looked at Yang Xiao unintentionally, before smiling and saying: "This place was originally a hiding place for a powerful demon, but it was eliminated by someone a long time ago. However, legend has it that the person who eliminated the demon left their weapon here, which is now considered to be a divine artifact. Although it's just a rumor, we need to verify it on our side, so I was sent to Xuanwu to investigate the whereabouts of this divine artifact. But after being here for several years, the entrance to the yin-yang pulse has always been closed. Unexpectedly, you guys have only been here for a few days and accidentally opened the entrance to the yin-yang pulse."

  "Oh, you're saying that the treasure of the Dragon Slayer is hidden here..." Sun Baozi chuckled and said to Ai Guo: "You yourself said it, how much of your mythological stories can I believe?" After finishing speaking, Sun Baozi looked at Yang Xiao again, paused for a moment, then said: "Whatever is inside doesn't matter, anyway we'll all follow you in to take a look. Big Fruit, don't lose face in front of me, I have so many investigators under my command here, if they don't do it, I won't either."

  Ai Guo glanced at the people behind Sun Baozi, including the fierce-looking Xi Men Lian and Xiong Wanyi, and let out a soft sigh before saying: "Since you've already discovered this place, I won't be able to stop you. However, let's make one thing clear: no matter what we find inside, it will be split equally between our two families."

  "Actually, I didn't plan on having it all to myself," Sun Baozi said with a smile: "I also think we should split it half and half."

  It's probably because Aiko came at the wrong time and didn't see what happened after Sun Baozi agreed to Liu Bu. Now that she has the oral promise from Deputy Director Sun, she nodded and said, "Then how do we go? Who goes in first?"

  Sun Baozi smiled and made a 'please' gesture, saying: "Ladies first..."

  Aiqi didn't hesitate, gave Sun Baozi a cold laugh and walked into the inner cave with ease. This time, Sun Baozi had Ximen Lian and Xiong Wanyi follow behind her, while the rest of the people followed closely behind the three of them. Yang Xiao stayed at the back, suppressing his footsteps.

  Upon entering the inner cave, I discovered that it was a world apart from the outside. Inside the cave, there wasn't a single wisp of fog, and everything was crystal clear. Strange rocks stood tall, while outside the fog obscured all growth, but inside, a lush landscape unfolded before my eyes, with almost every visible thing enveloped by flowers and grasses.

  After Aiko came in, she didn't use a map or anything. She directly identified the direction among the piles of strange rocks and led the investigators from the Public Opinion Bureau to an open area. At first, I thought she wanted to take a break here, but unexpectedly, Aiko pointed at the small path between the two piles of strange rocks on the other side of the open area and said: "Do you see those two signs? If we go past them, you'll be able to see what I'm talking about..."

  The sign she was referring to was on two piles of strange rocks, each with a huge stone that had been chiseled flat and carved with several characters. On the left stone were the words: "Enter this gate", while on the right stone was the couplet: "Death but no rebirth..."
