I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

The young man overheard the conversation around him. His doubts deepened, and he felt increasingly that the place these people were describing was strikingly similar to the location Ling Xiao had previously asked him to find. So he told them about it and decided to try his luck.

They arrived at the outskirts of Beijing around 5 or 6 p.m., and by the time they reached the dilapidated temple, it was 8 or 9 p.m. The surroundings were pitch black and silent, with only two red lanterns swaying faintly in the wind, as if they were the only signs of life in this abandoned temple.

At the entrance of the dilapidated temple, weeds grew rampant, spreading wildly and enveloping the area like a green ocean. These weeds were extremely lush, some even taller than a person's knees, and they intertwined to form a natural barrier, making it difficult for anyone to approach.

"It's really strange that this place hasn't been demolished yet." Black Bear's voice was quite soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Jieyuhua gestured for silence; the people inside seemed to be making some kind of bedtime rant.

"How many days has it been? Is that woman playing us for a fool?"

"So she doesn't want the machine anymore?"

"Damn it, I'm almost out of money."

"We haven't found that kid yet. It would be troublesome if he were dead."

"What's the trouble? You won't need to look for him if he's dead."

"The money is gone, but finding the person will be enough to ensure I live a comfortable life with both a son and a daughter for the rest of my days."

"Damn it, you're so vulgar."

"From what I'm hearing, it sounds like they're looking for the young master," Black Bear said, listening intently through the doorframe.

With a glance from Jieyuhua, Heixiazi pushed open the door and went inside.

Knocking on the door? Even if you were praying to Buddha in the middle of the night, would you need to greet him and ask, "Have I come in?"

"Who goes there?" Several men in black stood up immediately, but they weren't on high alert.

"Have you guys seen this guy before?" Hei Xiazi took out a photo of Ling Xiao that Cheng Yu had developed and showed it to them, which made the group wary.

"Don't know him? What, did this guy offend you? To be honest, we specialize in shady dealings. Are you guys looking for thugs? We're experts at finding people." A man in black who looked quite experienced stepped forward, squinting, and offered a cigarette, while also glancing at the group out of the corner of his eye.

"Talking about fighting and killing in front of gods and Buddhas... isn't that a bit taboo?" Black Bear said, taking the cigarette.

"Even gods and Buddhas have to settle scores and avenge their grievances! Don't you think so?" the man tempted.

"Alright, we do have some grudges, but how can I trust you?" Black Bear pretended to take the bait.

"You should have said so earlier! We have a grudge too. Look, isn't this person just like yours?" Only then did the man take out the photo that Cheng Xiaoli had given him and show it to Hei Xiazi and the others.

"Hey, this kid, tsk, so you didn't find it either? What's the use of that? This kid's slippery." Black Bear looked quite disgusted.

"How could it be useless? We brothers are at our wits' end, short of funds. Once the funds are in place, we're sure to find the right people." The man lowered his posture considerably, revealing their predicament.

Cheng Yu glanced at Xie Yuhua, who simply made a light throat-slitting gesture, and Cheng Yu immediately took action.

These men in black had no idea which sentence they had said wrong, but Xie Yuhua did. He remembered that He Jun had said they were the original organization of the cult, so when he first said he was coming to find them, he didn't intend to spare their lives.

Xie Yuhua cautiously looked around again, trying not to miss any corner. However, after a thorough examination, he found that apart from the mysterious machine, there seemed to be nothing else of value in this place.

With a slight frown, Xie Yuhua fell into deep thought. After a moment, he decided to contact the gatekeeper who had left his contact information earlier, hoping they could take the machine with them to study it.

They still couldn't find the child. Xie Yuhua suggested taking another look at the villa, but there was nothing there. Now, no one knew where to look for Ling Xiao.

"Actually, maybe Lingzi is on her way. If we wait a couple more days, she might be back." On the way back, the fat man tried to comfort her, sounding somewhat unsure.

Unfortunately, there was no response, and the group's attitudes became somewhat negative, with an indescribable feeling of unease lingering in their hearts.

So, Xie Yuhua locked himself in his room, not leaving for days. Every day Ling Xiao remained missing, he was restless and anxious. Every minute and every second was torture; as long as Ling Xiao was nowhere to be found, he couldn't sleep peacefully, nor could he swallow even a single bite of food. The tightly closed door was like a barrier, isolating him from the outside world, but it couldn't stop his deep worry and concern for Ling Xiao's safety.

He kept tapping his fingers on the exquisite watch on his wrist, his eyes fixed on the dial, as if he could use it to contact Ling Xiao, who was far away on the other side. Each crisp tap was like an echo of the anxiety deep within his heart, but as time ticked by, there was still no response.

One text message after another flooded his phone. The dense text was filled with his anxiety, but the messages seemed to have been thrown into an abyss, leaving no reply, as if they had sunk without a trace.
