Su Meng rejected Wei Ting’s good intentions. She was not so weak that she could not even climb a hill. Moreover, Wei Ting was a patient. She did not want to let him fall again because of her.
With a place to lean on, Su Meng quickly climbed up. Only when she climbed up did she realize that there was a cave that was half the height of a person. The edges of the cave entrance were neat. It did not look natural, but more like it was artificially dug.
Wild grass grew around the cave entrance. It seemed that no one had come for a long time. No wonder the cave entrance couldn’t be seen from below.
“Let’s go. It’s inside,” Wei Ting said as he raised his feet and walked inside. Su Meng followed closely behind.
Although the cave was dark, it was still spacious. It was more than enough for one person to walk inside. However, it wouldn’t work if two people walked side by side. Wei Ting was afraid that Su Meng wouldn’t be able to see the road and fall. He held the flashlight in one hand and held Su Meng’s arm in the other. Su Meng didn’t resist.
Su Meng calculated the distance as she walked. After walking for about six meters, Wei Ting led her around a big bend. The area around them suddenly became wide open, and the two of them could stand up straight.
They should have reached the end of the road. Su Meng turned on the flashlight herself and shone it in all directions. There were many stone pillars in the cave, which were polished very smooth. It was very quiet in the cave. Su Meng heard the sound of water dripping. It was very soft, but crisp. However, when she looked around with her flashlight, she found that the ground was dry and there was no water.
She walked around the wall and confirmed that there was no path inside. Where did the sound of water dripping come from?
“Is this the place that you said was strange?” Su Meng looked around inside. This place did give her a feeling that something was wrong. She could see that the placement of these stone pillars was a formation, but she could not immediately determine what it was used for, because it looked like it had been there for a long time. She needed time.
“Here, my men found a skeleton behind the stone. He had just moved the stone away when the skeleton was revealed, but he suddenly disappeared.” Wei Ting pointed to the innermost part of the cave and said to Su Meng.
Su Meng understood. So it was his subordinate who had been lost and he was asking her to help look for his subordinate.
“It’s impossible for a living person to disappear for no reason. Didn’t you guys look in the cave?” Su Meng lit up her phone and looked around the inner wall of the cave. She found that although this place was very spacious, there was no second way out.
“Later, we searched the entire cave. We didn’t miss a single corner, but we still couldn’t find him. It was as if he... disappeared into thin air. One of my men has come into contact with feng shui and has some experience. He said that there was something strange here,” Wei Ting said faintly.
When he was investigating, his men said that the human traffickers traded here, so they came here to look for clues. A total of two people came, but one person suddenly disappeared for no reason. The person who came out was quite frightened, saying that there was something strange about the cave eating people.
The person who came out had been helped by a feng shui master before, so he was particularly confident in this kind of thing.
Later, he personally came to look for the person, but he did not find any clues in the vicinity.
The strange thing was that there was no second exit in the cave, so there was no case of him slipping away. He searched for a long time in the cave, but could not find anyone. He did not run into any danger. In his eyes, this was an extremely ordinary cave.
If it was not for the fact that his subordinate had suddenly disappeared, he would not have believed that there was something wrong with this cave.
After confirming that there was no danger in the cave, he asked Su Meng to come over to take a look.
Firstly, Su Meng’s ability was indeed very strong. After all, he had seen Su Meng solve many strange things with his own eyes. Secondly, he could have the opportunity to be alone with Su Meng, and he would protect Su Meng from the side.
“Just take a look from a distance. There’s no need to be so close.” Wei Ting saw Su Meng walking towards the skeleton, following closely by her side.
Su Meng raised her hand and made some calculations. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine now.”
Wei Ting seemed to trust Su Meng now. After hearing that she was fine, he no longer tried to dissuade her. He just followed quietly by her side so that he could protect her at any time.
As they got closer, Su Meng finally saw a pit on the stone wall. There was a skeleton sitting in the pit. This skeleton was actually a child’s.
A child had died in this cave. Su Meng’s face instantly darkened. If the human traffickers had traded here in the past, then wasn’t this child abandoned here by the human traffickers?
