Luo Nan was stupefied when he heard this. He finally understood the most crucial problem. He looked around the treehouse and was silent for a few seconds before he finally made a decision. "Let's go back first."
Looking at the projection album in his hand, he hesitated for a long time before putting it back in place to avoid destroying the original layout of the treehouse. He then closed the bionic bark on the viewing window to make sure that no one would discover it.
Luo Nan's gaze turned to Xie Junping after he finished doing all this. Xie Junping immediately raised his hand and swore: "I will absolutely not mention the treehouse to outsiders. This matter will rot in my stomach."
Luo Nan didn't say a word. He just bowed once more. Ever since Luo Nan had solemnly expressed his thanks last time, Luo Nan had displayed an even more respectful attitude towards Xie Junping. Frankly speaking, this made Xie Junping quite happy in his heart.
Luo Nan was the first to walk down with Xie Junping following behind. Perhaps it was because he was in a refreshed mood, but an inexplicable idea popped up in Xie Junping's mind. He borrowed his courage to poke Luo Nan's shoulder:
"Brother Nan, if you don't mind … can I leave a camera?"
"Huh?" Luo Nan suddenly turned around and stared at his face.
A person's mentality was strange. In the past, Xie Junping would definitely be nervous at times like this, and he might not even be able to speak a complete sentence. But after feeling Luo Nan's respect, his courage rose correspondingly. His train of thought became clearer under Luo Nan's gaze:
"I mean, Brother Nan, don't you think this house is a bit too clean? There were many mosquitoes in the wetland, and it was very humid. If it was not cleaned up for a few days, it would be impossible to see. But look at this place. It's clean and refreshing. Of course, it's beautiful, but I'm afraid … "
Luo Nan's eyes didn't blink at all. He spoke with a hoarse voice, expressing Xie Junping's unspoken meaning: "Someone has already discovered this place, and they've been living here for a long time?"
"Ahem, I'm just saying. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
After all, there's an 80% chance that Gear's AI cleaning system won't be able to reach here. "
Luo Nan didn't speak again, but his gaze drifted a bit. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a few seconds, he turned around and slowly walked down. His fingers were stuck to the inner wall of the tree hole until he reached the beginning of the stone steps.
"It's here. There used to be a door here, but now it's been filled with bionic materials and sealed."
Xie Junping shone the light on the surface and observed it for a while before agreeing, "Maybe this is a normal door left behind when the Sand Continent was still around. Then the water level rose and it was destroyed. "
"The water level is rising …"
Luo Nan's voice grew hoarser and hoarser. It was as if a blade was stuck in his throat. It became more and more difficult for him to speak: "When did the water level rise?"
Xie Junping went online to search for information. "Around 1987. At that time, the underground rock strata had ruptured, and an underground river had changed its course, causing the average water level of the wetland to rise by nearly half a meter. The lake area where the Withered Tree Sandbar was located had risen by a full seven meters. Uh, 87 years … "
It seemed that Senior Sister Bo Qingwen had died due to a difficult childbirth, which happened 80 years ago. In any case, it was impossible for her to remodel the tree hole seven years later.
Once his thoughts were sorted out, Xie Junping hissed.
"There really is someone!"
"Yes, there really is someone … … Who is it?" Luo Nan responded with a hoarse voice. He slowly bent down and touched the narrow secret passage that was clearly excavated later.
Xie Junping came to a realization. There was also this passageway. There was a ninety-nine percent chance that it was excavated at the same time as the sealing of the door. It was also done to avoid the rising water level and make it easier to enter and exit.
This explained the difference from Bo Qingwen's original design.
Xie Junping saw Luo Nan bend over, seeming to be pondering over the structure of the secret passage. He shone a light beam to make it easier for Luo Nan to investigate. But when the light beam shone over, Luo Nan realized something was wrong.
Right now, Luo Nan was indeed pondering, but his fingers were unconsciously digging at the junction between the tree hole and the secret passage. This monotonous movement was not so much a result of inertia, but rather a representation of extreme emotions.
Before, Luo Nan was heavy and sad, but he was relatively calm. His occasional ups and downs were like the night tide of the seaside. It was the rhythm of normal emotions.
But right now, he was suppressed and irritable. He was like a wounded beast that saw the enemy that injured him intrude into his territory. He was filled with irritation and even savage emotions.
Xie Junping was really worried that Luo Nan would dig out his fingernails. He gingerly shook the light beam.
The change in light startled Luo Nan and he suddenly turned his head.
Xie Junping shockingly saw that Luo Nan's eyes were blood red right now. The blood red wasn't from soaking in tears, but from the accumulation of berserk emotions. It was as if he wanted to devour someone!
Xie Junping felt his calf cramp when he saw this. He unconsciously took a step back.
However, Luo Nan's emotions seemed to have calmed down a bit under the illumination of the light. He stopped his monotonous, hair-raising movements and spoke in a low voice:
"Senior, where were we just now?"
"Uh, there's someone living in the tree hole. They sealed the front door and even dug out a secret passage that leads to the laboratory."
Luo Nan shook his head: "The underwater corridor is a dead end. It's normally completely unobstructed. It's too conspicuous for outsiders to come in. Therefore, it can't be anyone else. It can only be an internal member of the society or the laboratory. "
Xie Junping thought about it and agreed. This made more sense.
But when he thought deeper, there was such a person in the Order Club. He normally lived and socialized within the club. But when no one was paying attention, he would quietly pass through the underwater corridor and enter the tree hole. He would engage in some shady business. The most important thing was that this span of time could have lasted for seven to eight years. Ten years. All the way until now … … Just thinking about it made Luo Nan's heart go cold.
Xie Junping suddenly had a thought: Motherfucker. It can't be that someone suddenly came in from the other side while they were drilling the secret passage!
Or maybe they could swim and come in from the viewing hole … …
The thought was born. He looked at the pitch-black entrance of the secret passage and the spiraling staircase behind him. His entire body felt unwell.
Luo Nan didn't seem to think too much. He slowly stood up and bowed towards Xie Junping: "I'll have to trouble Senior with the matter of the camera installation … … If there's someone, if there's still someone, I want to see just who in the world it is!"
Xie Junping was actually a bit flustered in his heart. But having Luo Nan by his side was more or less comforting. He took a deep breath: "Okay. I'll install it right now!"
"...... You have ready-made tools?"
"Uh, I brought a bit."
Xie Junping was a bit embarrassed, but he still took out two miniature cameras the size of rice grains from his wristband. This group of second-generation rich kids would sometimes play with absurd tricks. They relied on these.
This sort of portable miniature machine couldn't be any simpler to install. They just needed to find a position with a relatively wide field of view, press it, and it would stick. It wouldn't fall off easily.
Xie Junping used both cameras: "This little toy can achieve real-time video transmission. A single camera can work for over three months. Actually, looking at the degree of cleanliness, if we're lucky, we should be able to get results in a day or two. "
While Xie Junping was working, Luo Nan walked up and down the entire tree hole space. But he didn't discover any more clues. His mood was clearly even more depressed right now. He didn't say a word as he made his way through the secret passage and entered the underwater corridor.
Xie Junping followed cautiously. He kept the surveillance screen open at all times for fear that a murderer who had been hiding for many years would suddenly jump out from behind him!
