Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

"Maybe yes, maybe no?" Gao Yao's expression was momentarily confused. He looked at Nangong Qinghe's back, and his dim eyes lit up again. "Chenzi, we must learn to trust our captain."

Gao Yao then patted Lin Xiaochen on the shoulder.

Faced with life and death, everyone is afraid; their profession destined them for a life of unrest.

“…Mm.” He Xiaochen responded softly.

"Xiaochen, come help me." Her teammate's call dispelled a lot of worries in He Xiaochen's heart, and she turned around to help her teammate move things.

Nangong Qinghe stood tall and straight, like a pine tree, exuding a cool and aloof aura. Her long, slender fingers gripped her phone as she listened quietly to the conversation on the other end.

"Qinghe, have you found Xixi?"

Shui Muting's voice came from the other end of the phone, revealing deep concern.

Nangong Qinghe looked up at the towering, mysterious mountain peak, her brows furrowed. "Not yet."

"Haven't they gone in yet?"

"Hmm," Nangong Qinghe replied in a deep voice.

Shui Muting continued rambling on on the other end of the phone.

"Mom, I understand. I will definitely bring my sister back safely."

Nangong Qinghe comforted Shui Muting for a few words and then ended the call.

Seeing that Nangong Qinghe had ended the call, Gao Yao quickly stepped forward and asked, "Captain, are we going up the mountain now?"

"Wait for Qianrui to bring the person over."

Gao Yao asked in confusion, "Vice-captain? Who's he leading?"

"They've arrived." Nangong Qinghe's obsidian-like eyes swept over the two people in the distance, his noble demeanor making him seem out of place on this village road.

Gao Yao sighed inwardly. His team leader was truly something else. He had heard that his sister was also very beautiful and seemed to be in the Forbidden Mountain as well. The team leader must be under more pressure than anyone else.

The forbidden mountain was a fact known to everyone inside; almost everyone who went in died.

The only time they came out alive was when the expedition team was less than 150 meters from the foot of the mountain.

Several of them went insane.

Qianrui was very tall, and the man he was dragging along was acting suspiciously.

He kept shouting, "A ghost! A ghost!"

"Come here!" Qianrui shouted, pulling him along.

"Boss, he seems to have gone mad..." Qianrui's expression was grim.

This man was from Hehuan Village. It took a long time to find his whereabouts. According to the villagers at the foot of the mountain, he was going home for a funeral, apparently because his mother had passed away.

This man is Li Dazhuang, Zhang Ronghua's son.

After Zhang Ronghua was strangled to death, he was notified to go home, and he naturally knew that his mother had bought him a wife.

But what he least expected was that the person who notified him said that his wife had been possessed by Qin Ruolan and had killed his mother.

He returned to the village in a daze, only to find himself on the night Gao Lin was killed.

So he hurriedly ran down the mountain to escape for his life.

"According to the local people down the mountain and our investigation, Li Dazhuang is definitely not a good person. He had previously committed the crime of trafficking women. But every time we tried to arrest him, he would run into the forbidden mountain. The police had no choice but to stake out the area. However, the forbidden mountain has too many hidden exits, making it very difficult to catch him."

Qianrui was an impatient person. Thinking of the information he had investigated and the innocent women who had died, he stepped forward and kicked them.

"Did I tell you to run? Where can you run to? Don't play dumb with me." Li Dazhuang tried to run away, but was kicked to the ground and could only groan in pain.

Gao Yao felt pain just looking at it; everyone knew that the vice-captain was incredibly strong.

Qianrui still didn't believe that Li Dazhuang was really crazy, and suspected that the kid was faking it.

"Boss, he's definitely faking his madness to avoid legal punishment!"

He wanted to kick it again, but Nangong Qinghe stopped him.

Nangong Qinghe glanced at Qianrui and said in a deep voice, "Tone it down. You need to change your fiery temper. There are people walking by on the street..."

Gao Yao immediately agreed and nodded in agreement.

After being reprimanded, Qianrui immediately calmed down, but still had an angry look on his face as he glared at Li Dazhuang.

The next second, Nangong Qinghe walked up to Li Dazhuang, her slender figure slightly bent, her eyes sharp, and she bent down to step on Li Dazhuang's hand, saying, "Take us up the mountain, or I'll break your hand."

His voice was deep and cold, and the oppressive feeling made it hard to breathe.

"..."

Gao Yao was almost speechless with shock. Was this what the captain was like? He was actually a big fan of Nangong Qinghe, and he had been transferred here for this mission. This was his first time getting so close to his idol.

Qian Rui curled his lip in unsurprising surprise; he knew it!

All you do is lecture me!

The boss is clearly more ruthless than me!

They were all members of the Spirit Group, a state-established organization that was also unknown to outsiders.

My job is to deal with all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Legitimate organizations have discipline and rules, and therefore should never use violence against ordinary people.

But their leader was an exception; those inside called him the Living Yama.

At this moment, the Living Yama was enraged. Seeing that Li Dazhuang was not answering his question and was still muttering to himself, he stomped his feet harder, and a "crackling" sound could even be heard.

And the howling of wolves in the haunted house.

Li Dazhuang's!

His face contorted in pain, and unable to bear it any longer, he finally spoke, "I...I'll take you there! Don't kill me!"

He would rather be locked up in jail than face this horrible man.

"If you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this. Lead the way."

Nangong Qinghe withdrew her foot, her eyes indifferent. "Qianrui, chain him up."

"Yes." Qianrui excitedly dragged Li Dazhuang to find the chain. He knew that brat was faking it.

Gao Yao watched the play in shock.

Holy crap, he was really faking it!

"set off!"

......

......

"Boss, when are we going down the mountain?" Qiao Feng was enjoying a rare dinner. He swallowed his food in one gulp, as if he hadn't eaten for three days.

Come to think of it, it'll be over in less than three days, or maybe it will be soon.

He was gnawing on chicken, his mouth covered in oil.

These were chickens from the village chief's backyard, and he killed them. Although he was terrified, he still fulfilled his duty as a man.

Actually, it was because all three people were watching him that he forced himself to kill them. He can brag about it when he goes down the mountain later!

"Right, right, when are we going down the mountain, boss?" When the topic of going down the mountain came up, Nangong Qian also put down her chopsticks and couldn't help but look at Jing Li.

You'd be traumatized if you stayed in that shabby place for even a second longer.

Perhaps only Yu Manwen has ever been the most comfortable.

Just thinking about the scene of the black fog gives me goosebumps.

"Anytime is fine, you can leave now." Jing Li ate the chicken leg slowly and leisurely, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

The three of them promptly gave her one of the chicken legs and rewarded the person who cooked it with the other.

"Us? Aren't you coming with us?" Nangong Qian grasped the key point.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng stopped eating, looking puzzled.

After finishing chewing the chicken in her mouth, Jing Li said, "Of course, I told you before that I have something important to do."
