The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 434 - 327: Clues Pointing the Way (Part 2)

Chen Qinghan listened, then took out Ou Chen’s ID and showed the photo to Mike.

"It’s him, it’s this person!" Mike was somewhat excited.

After the excitement passed, Mike looked at me and Chen Qinghan, his expression froze for a moment, "You didn’t come back to update the marks."

"That’s right, we didn’t, we went to the wolf’s den." Chen Qinghan admitted frankly.

"Did you discover anything?" Mike’s attention was successfully diverted, and he no longer fixated on the illusion, his gaze falling onto Ou Chen’s ID.

"We found two backpacks, two people’s IDs, one was a cowboy hat, the other was this man, his name is Ou Chen, both were members of a team from a few years ago, and in the end, they were the only two left from that team." I didn’t mention the old letters and last words, just said that the cowboy hat and Ou Chen last went to the city center.

"Do you believe what he said?" Mike calmed down, "I don’t know the team you’re talking about, they’re certainly not our people."

The Ancient City surfaced a year ago, so the cowboy hat and Ou Chen went in while the Ancient City was still underground.

Now that the Ancient City has surfaced, they are unharmed, and still living inside the city, which is truly surprising.

"Let’s assume he really can survive on light, in these years, he would have had enough time to escape. Even if there was no chance before, after your people came in batch by batch, didn’t he have a chance to leave?" Chen Qinghan asked.

"Yes, he seems very familiar with the Ancient City, and deals with the giant mantis without any panic. If he really wanted to leave, he would have long found the crevice where we came up." Doctor Du said.

"Could it be... he’s restrained by the light source? Can’t go too far?" Huang Zaijiang guessed.

"If so, the light source is not harmless, why does he urge us to do something?" I asked casually.

Unexpectedly, my question plunged the others into silence, each lost in thought. For a moment, no one spoke, and only footsteps echoed in the dark passage. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

We exited the dark passage and returned to the stone house to pick up Wang Le and Gu, but when we entered, the room was already empty.

The backpacks and equipment were gone, as if they left not in a hurry.

"Could it be they found it unsafe here and moved to another place?" Huang Zaijiang wondered, scanning the empty room.

If it were as he said, Wang Le should have left a mark or a ’message’ to tell us where to find them.

Chen Qinghan examined both inside and outside the house, finding no other footprints or animals, so Wang Le and Gu probably did not encounter any unexpected attack.

"Let’s check over by the city wall." Finding nothing through his inspection, Chen Qinghan called everyone to move on to the next search point.

The underground routes are relatively safe, if Wang Le really thought the stone house unsafe, the only place he could take Gu is there.

We returned as quickly as possible to the crevice under the city wall, the ropes we had secured before were still there, as we didn’t know our return time when we came up, so we hadn’t removed them for easy retreat.

Before leaving, Chen Qinghan had made marks, if someone had disturbed the ropes, he would have noticed, but now they were just as when we left them, indicating that Wang Le and Gu had not returned.

"Tsk, strange, where could those two have gone?" Huang Zaijiang was a bit anxious, he was closest with Wang Le, and now that Wang Le is missing for no reason, he was fretfully sucking his teeth.

"Search again." Chen Qinghan got up first and walked back, "Let’s look for clues around the stone house."

Correct thought, half the effort; wrong thought, twice the work. We thought Wang Le and Gu would hide back in the underground routes, so we directly came back to find them, not searching in the area around the stone house.

Now we have to go back and start looking for clues again, Mike started harping on the idea again, suspecting that Wang Le and Gu had hallucinations and went who knows where following them.

I still disagreed with his idea; they are ordinary people, all in the Ancient City, if there are hallucinations, then everyone together.

However, Chen Qinghan seemed to have another idea after listening to him, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "It might not be hallucinations, how did we climb the rock building?"

Huang Zaijiang immediately replied: "That foreigner called us."

Chen Qinghan said nothing more, leaving time for us to think for ourselves. Huang Zaijiang’s eyes rolled around, thinking for a moment and said: "Did someone call those two away?"

Doctor Du refuted: "They don’t know anyone else in the Ancient City, even if someone came to call them, they’d leave a mark to inform us before leaving, otherwise, they were kidnapped."
