Chapter 614 Passage

The man ignored the woman, rushed into the passage, closed the door, and ran forward immediately.

After running about fifty meters, he encountered another night watchman. "Did you see anyone pass by?"

"A person? Who? I'm standing right here, and I haven't seen anyone go through. This passageway can only be opened from the inside, so how could anyone have gone through?"

"Really?"

"No, I'm not seeing things. How could I not see someone? Besides, the passageway outside is only so big. I can see even a fly flying by, let alone a person."

The man was still worried. "I heard knocking outside, so I opened the door, but I didn't see anything. However, Hua Niang was lying on the ground. She said she was sleeping in bed."

"Could there be a mistake?"

"impossible."

The two exchanged a glance, and both became serious.

"Let's go take a look."

The two walked back together, and Du Mingxian watched them search for the person inch by inch from within the space, as if she, the one who had entered, was a fly, leaving no crevice unchecked.

Seeing them like this, she laughed; it was quite amusing.

After the two searched repeatedly and found that there was really no one there, they were finally relieved.

"I was terrified. I really thought someone had come in. Last time someone took advantage of the loophole, the people upstairs were already very unhappy."

"That's what I'm saying. Forget it, let's just keep watch like before. There's definitely no one there. Maybe the people outside just want to know how the door was opened."

"So what if you know? If you don't open it from the inside, you can't open it from the outside."

"Alright, let's each take our positions."

The two separated again; one stayed at the door, while the other returned to his original spot.

Du Mingxian took a nap in the space, glanced at the time, and saw it was three in the morning, the time when people are most sleepy.

She secretly tossed a handful of sleeping pills from her spatial storage. The man's breathing, which had been relatively steady, became heavy and rhythmic, and he fell into a deep sleep.

She quietly emerged from the space, her heart pounding, and moved forward little by little.

Perhaps these two people were particularly confident in their passage, not worried at all about being caught, and believed that the door could not be opened from the outside unless it was opened from the inside, so they slept very soundly.

This gave Du Mingxian an opportunity; after giving the second person a dose of sleeping pills, she quietly moved forward.

The guarded passage was lit, but as she went further in, the passage became darker and darker. She put on her night vision goggles and quietly made her way forward.

When she walked ahead and felt she could walk about three miles, she found herself at a fork in the road.

She crouched down to observe carefully. One side of the ground was slippery from being stepped on, while the other side was untouched. It was clear that no one usually walked on it, so she chose the path that people usually took.

She walked for several more miles, but there were no fancy caves or anything like that. She came to the end, where no one was guarding the place, but she couldn't find a way out.

There was no other way but to enter the space again.

As noon approached, the door opened from the outside, and several men entered, walking step by step inside.

Du Mingxian watched them leave, and then watched them return with food. She felt relieved that she had chosen the right place.

These people are quite cunning. They can only open up from the inside, but once they get here, they can only open up from the outside. They're like rats, always moving around underground, which is very annoying.

After watching those people leave and then close the passageway door, she was troubled again.

This time, knocking from the inside won't work; the people outside will definitely become suspicious. Besides, she saw that there was more than one person guarding the outside, making it very difficult for her to get out.

Du Mingxian slept in the space, then slept again, and became somewhat disoriented between day and night. She could only tell whether it was day or night by looking at the time and watching the people get their food.

That day, Du Mingxian finally discovered a problem: how did the two people in the passage, who had been there the whole time, solve their toilet problem?

Eating, drinking, and defecating.

Food and drink were no problem; they could open the door, and the women outside would prepare for them. Korah and Saha probably didn't go outside; when she looked out, no men came out.

So the two of them resolved the issue inside the passageway.

Thinking of this, Du Mingxian quietly retreated, and after drugging the two men, she shot them directly in the heart.

After the people died, she made a point of cleaning them up and removing the blood from their bodies, making it look as if they had died in their sleep.

After doing all this, she returned to the inner door and went into the space to wait.

It was time for the men to go get their food again, but today was a bit of an exception. One of the men who had gone out to get food came back and said to the guards standing outside, "You two hurry in, the two men on guard inside are dead."

The two guards exchanged a glance, neither willing to go in. "Our duty is to stay here, in case someone comes out through the passage..."

“We’re all in the passageway now, and only our own people know about it. If you come in now to carry away corpses, who can get out of here? A ghost?”

Du Mingxian: "..." Ghost.

That's her.

But she is human.

The two guards thought it made sense; their brothers were all inside. If they went in and carried them out, they could leave without anyone coming. So the two went in and carried the men out.

After they left, Du Mingxian quietly emerged from the space and finally exited the passage.

If it weren't for her spatial ability, she would have died inside long ago.

After emerging from the woods, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she found a secluded spot and hid to keep watch.

A short while later, the men carrying the corpses came up first, and after a while, the men came up one by one with a bowl of food, and the passage door was closed again.

The two guards at the passage also said, "Go back and tell our master that two people inside the passage have died. Should we send more people over? It's unsettling to have no one guarding it."

"Don't worry, we'll tell our master when we get back and ask him to send someone over."

"Well, I don't know how someone could have died in the passageway out of the blue. It's really strange."

"Go back and carry the bodies back to take a good look at how they died."

After a few words, the men carrying the food left immediately, without any delay, as if afraid the food would get cold, and left very quickly.
