In the end, with the help of his companions, Morin finally made it to the top through the gap. He was starting to doubt why he had come. He didn't seem to have done anything valuable while he was with Lu Ping. He was just a burden and a burden to Lu Ping. On the surface, he seemed to be used to it, but he still minded it. Back then, he had become an assassin even though he didn't have a Force Spirit. Morin's heart had never lacked stubbornness and pride.
It was just that the realm of connecting all six spirits was too despairing, and Morin didn't have the mood to work hard to catch up at all. But he was still a little annoyed that he was always so useless and incompetent.
The gap was still an underground cave. This was in line with Lu Ping and Su Tang's memories. Back then, the organization they were in was clearly underground. It seemed like they had dug deeper than the organization.
When Morin was first pulled up, the others were quietly squatting nearby, paying attention to the terrain and on guard. After a while, when there was no movement, Ying Xiao pointed at the tunnel ahead.
The others nodded. Leng Qing took out a illuminating pearl, which gave some light to the pitch-black underground tunnel. The others followed one after another. Morin, who was the last, was focused on the remaining dregs on the ground. He picked some up and sniffed it carefully. Then, he took out a small bottle and put some of the dregs in it.
"Morin." The people in front saw that he hadn't caught up for a long time and called out to him in a low voice.
"Yes." Morin responded and caught up.
Lu Ping's "Hearing Through" perception had already spread out, but he didn't find anyone. After walking along the tunnel for a while, some dusty memories were gradually unlocked by Lu Ping and Su Tang.
"It's here," Lu Ping said.
The illuminating pearl in Leng Qing's hand could only illuminate a few meters of the long tunnel. There was a metal door on the stone wall to the right. Leng Qing walked forward but didn't find any windows on the door. Lu Ping's voice came again. "Below."
"Below?" Leng Qing bent down, and sure enough, she found a small window about the size of two fists at the bottom of the iron door, with a baffle on top.
Leng Qing turned around and glanced at Lu Ping, but did not ask any questions. After lifting up the small partition, she glanced inside with the help of the illuminating pearl. It was just an empty stone room.
Lu Ping and Su Tang continued to walk forward. Leng Qing took the illuminating pearl and walked to the front again. They didn't stop their perception, but there was no one in this tunnel or in the stone rooms with iron doors that appeared from time to time. At this time, Lu Ping stopped in front of a metal door on the left.
"What's wrong?" Leng Qing hurried over. This door didn't look any different from the others, and there were no signs of life behind it. The others were puzzled by Lu Ping's decision to stop here, but Su Tang was the only one who understood. This was the room that Lu Ping had been imprisoned in. Back then, her life here had been relatively free. She had been in charge of delivering food and water to Lu Ping and doing odd jobs.
Su Tang walked forward and touched the iron lock on the door. She exerted a little force with her Soul of Strength, and the lock broke. She then pulled the iron door open.
"What's so special about this room?" Leng Qing didn't enter rashly. She only sent the illuminating pearl's light into the stone room, and then stood outside the door and looked inside.
There were no furnishings in the stone room, only cold stone walls. A pillar of light fell from several meters above the ground, and a speck of dust slowly floated in the pillar of light.
Leng Qing had observed the previous stone rooms, and there was such a pillar of light falling. It was probably the air hole of the stone room, so she didn't find it strange. Lu Ping walked in at this moment. He placed one hand under the pillar of light, and felt the warmth brought by the sunlight. This was one of the few small pleasures he had in the organization.
Seeing Lu Ping's appearance, Leng Qing had already guessed that Lu Ping had been imprisoned in this stone room.
"There are traces of someone staying here." Morin's time suddenly came. He didn't blindly follow Lu Ping and Su Tang. Instead, he took out a illuminating pearl and started to observe the strange underground. After opening the door of one of the stone rooms, he found traces of someone staying here. When he touched the door lock, he realized that the lock was already unlocked.
Morin stretched out his hand to pull the door open, but immediately felt awkward. The weight of the iron door was beyond his imagination. He pulled it with such a small amount of strength, but the door didn't budge.
Ying Xiao had already stretched out his hand, and casually pulled the iron door open.
Morin walked in, and looked left and right. Xu Weifeng and Leng Qing also came over.
"There were people staying here. They might have just left." Morin said.
Leng Qing squatted down and carefully looked at the ground, and agreed with Morin's judgment. "It's very likely that they sensed your collection team approaching, and moved ahead of time."
"Then shouldn't we move faster?" Morin said, but turned towards Lu Ping and the others.
"They're coming." Lu Ping didn't sink into his memories for too long, and had already decisively turned around and walked out of his "former residence". They sped up and moved forward. They checked all the stone rooms they passed, and found that from here on out, every iron door had been opened.
Hair, bloodstains, the smell of medicine …
More and more traces showed that the other party had left in a hurry. Lu Ping and Su Tang already knew the path from here on out, and rushed in front of them.
The dining room, the back kitchen, the storage room … these were places that Lu Ping had never been to, but Su Tang, who sometimes had to do odd jobs, had been to.
And the place that Lu Ping was most familiar with was the laboratory that had brought him so much pain, but now it had been completely destroyed. In the entire underground, only this place had been thoroughly cleaned up.
"They might not have gone far." Morin said.
"Where's the exit?" Leng Qing asked.
"This way." Lu Ping and Su Tang continued to rush forward together. Four years ago, they had escaped from the underground from here. Four years later, they were on the same path again, but it wasn't to escape, but to chase. It was just that after rushing for a while and making a turn, there was no light that made them excited like four years ago.
Su Tang couldn't help but grab Lu Ping's hand, and Lu Ping held it tightly, pulling her as they rushed forward resolutely.
At the end of the tunnel, the collapsed frozen ground had completely sealed off this place. Clearly, this was the last move that the other party had made before retreating to buy time.
"Should we call the gathering team over?" Ying Xiao asked.
"No need." Lu Ping said as he let go of Su Tang, took out the Blowing Horn Chain Ring and wore it on his hand.
Su Tang moved to the side, and Lu Ping raised his head to take a look. Without hesitation, he threw a punch, followed by another.
The first punch was the Soul of Screams, which silently rushed into the frozen ground.
