"It sounds like..." Yi Yao said hesitantly, "could it be that Brother Baomu misunderstood something?"
Seeing that Yi Yao didn't believe her, Xiao Lan tilted her head and asked, "Then what do you think is strange about him? Is he just overly sad?"
"Although I don't know Xiao Kong very well, he didn't seem to be such a sentimental person in the past, and..." Yi Yao lowered her voice, "I have heard some rumors that may not be accurate..."
Xiaolan leaned her head over, looking like she was gossiping.
"What rumors?"
At this time, Yi Yao actually hesitated. Xiaolan waited anxiously for a long time before Yi Yao carefully looked around and made sure that there was no one around at midnight, and finally spoke.
"You still remember that our factions have been investigating internal spies recently, right?" Yi Yao looked at Xiaolan with a connotative look on her face, and after finishing speaking, she pursed her lips, as if to say, "You understand, right?"
?”.
Xiaolan's brain went around slowly for several times, and finally found resonance in Yi Yao's eyes.
"Ah..." Xiaolan shook her index finger and her eyes widened, "What do you mean..."
"Shh! -" Yi Yao completely lost her dignified temperament when she first appeared on the scene, and transformed into a little boy chatting with Xiaolan, "Don't let others hear you!"
Xiaolan quickly covered her mouth and nodded understandingly.
It turned out that the people in Wu Geng Tian actually suspected, or at least had suspected, that Xiao Kong was a spy.
"But why...did he do anything?" Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know the specific situation," Yi Yao sighed and said, "But it is said that the evidence from Wu Geng Tian seemed to be relatively clear, but for some reason, the move to purge the sect suddenly stopped.
We, the expatriates, have no way of knowing the inside story of this."
Xiaolan bit her lip and thought about it.
Just because you expats have no way of knowing, doesn't mean I can't know either.
"As for the smell you mentioned..." Yi Yao continued, "I can't think of any reason... could it be that you have really seen small holes?"
Xiaolan pressed her temples and thought hard.
The suspicious director, the suspicious hole, the suspicious explosion...
There should be a connection between all of these.
Before Xiao Lan could clear up her thoughts, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang, making the two of them tremble. Xiao Lan took out her cell phone, looked at it, and hurriedly pulled Yi Yao to the stairwell on one side of the corridor.
"It's Brother Baomu," Xiaolan pointed to the phone and said, "It seems they have arrived."
"Answer the phone quickly," Yi Yao said, "I'll watch the door."
Xiaolan pressed the call button with a click, and the noise of her companions instantly flooded into her ears.
"Xiaolan! You finally answered the phone!" The first thing that broke into my eardrums was Qin Yin's voice, "We thought you were lost too!..."
"I've been busy just now and didn't look at my phone..." Xiaolan then noticed the red message prompt on WeChat and said, "And I...wait, Sister Xiaoyin, why did you say that? Also?
Who lost it?"
"Who else can there be?" Qin Yin sounded so anxious that he almost cried, "Taoist Priest and the others are all gone!"
Xiaolan almost choked on the breath that came up in her chest. She was speechless and stood there for a long time before she regained her ability to speak.
"Tao... Taoist Master and the others..."
"They are all gone, we..."
"Okay, okay, Xiaoyin, don't worry, give me the phone," the fool answered the phone over there and said, "Xiaolan, we have arrived at the hotel, but the Taoist priest and the others are not here at all."
"They...are all missing?" Xiaolan's trembling voice attracted Yi Yao, "That sister Xia Hua, and Li Muyuan..."
"They are all gone," the fool's voice was a little hoarse. "The landlady said that she didn't know when they left. It was several days ago. She heard that it was very quiet upstairs, so she knocked on the door.
Knocked on our door and found that the door was not closed and no one was left."
"After all, it's possible that it happened on the day we left." Baomu's voice was a little distant, but it came through clearly.
Xiao Lan suddenly realized, "Ling Luo said that Lao Mu can't feel Uncle Luo's existence. Could it be because..."
"Don't scare us," Baomu said, "Didn't Wu Ren say they are fine?"
"Where are Miaozhen and Zhuge Shou?" Xiaolan asked, "Are they still there?"
"They're all gone," the fool said, "but the luggage is still there, and there's not even a trace of packing up and leaving in the room."
Yi Yao also heard the content of the call, and her expression became serious.
"First of all, based on the strength of these few people, they should not have been kidnapped," Yi Yao said, "Maybe it was out of their own free will."
"But if they really plan to go somewhere, they won't fail to notify us." Xiaolan said.
"Xiaolan, who is next to you?" the fool asked warily.
"Oh, it's Uncle Yi," Xiaolan said, "I've been staying with Uncle Yi."
"What's going on over there?" the fool asked.
"If there is any danger, come back quickly!" Qin Yin shouted loudly, "If you lose it too, I will...I will not live! Ah!...Taoist Master!..."
The collapsed Qin Yin was dragged aside. The sighing fool and Baomu returned to the phone. The fool said, "Xiaolan, you must pay attention to safety."
"Uh-huh," Xiaolan said seriously, "Brother Fool, the situation here... is more complicated. I can't explain it for a while. I'll tell you on WeChat later."
"That's okay," the fool said, "Can you come back in the evening?"
"No," Xiaolan asked obediently, "Can I stay out overnight?"
I feel like a junior high school student who wants to go out for the night, but needs to ask his parents for leave.
"Is something going to happen?" Baomu said.
"I will take care of myself," Xiaolan said, "Grandpa Qiao's condition is almost stable. I will go find you when things here are over."
The phone was hung up, but the people on both sides of the phone fell into the same melancholy.
"What's going on?" Yi Yao said, "And it sounds like... no one else from the Nine Sects has arrived here either."
Xiaolan shrugged feebly, "Obviously."
"It's strange, there is definitely something wrong," Yi Yao looked at her cell phone, "But I didn't receive any messages at all."
"I'm worried..." Xiaolan wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. She lowered her shoulders and said a little discouraged, "Uncle Yi, you think... we may have entered a trap, right?"
