Since the two girls entered the room, not a sound had come from within.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but let out a wry smile. Could it be because the two were too weak?
Just as he thought the two women might have met with an accident, he saw the tightly shut room suddenly open a sliver, and a small head peeked out, looking around.
"They... they're not dead?" Gu Yue was dumbfounded.
Ye Cangtian was also stunned.
They were fine?
Although the situation was peculiar, it also made him breathe a sigh of relief. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go and see!"
At this moment, Yao Bao'er, who was peeking through the gap in the door, saw two masked figures approaching and quickly closed the door.
"It's over, it's over, we've been discovered! Yanran, quickly... quickly help me hold the door."
Hearing Yao Bao'er's frantic murmurs from inside, Ye Cangtian, who had arrived at the door, couldn't help but smile wryly.
"It's me!"
"Huh? Boss? Is that you, Boss?"
"It is, open the door!" Ye Cangtian said helplessly.
Soon, the door opened. Yao Bao'er looked at the two of them vigilantly. Only when they took off their masks did she relax. At the same time, she pretended to be aggrieved.
"Boss, Bao'er was so scared. The two top experts from the Dark Association and the Bright Hall wanted to kill us!"
"..."
Ye Cangtian looked at the girl. Was she serious?
What was so special about two little girls that two top experts would be interested in them? Or had this girl done something?
He looked at Shangguan Yanran, who replied with a wry smile, "Bao'er snatched a purple stone. It seemed that the two people from the Bright Hall and the Dark Association were fighting over it at the time."
"I didn't snatch it, I picked it up!" Yao Bao'er quickly corrected.
"Cough, cough, what is it? Let me see!"
Ye Cangtian was amused and speechless, but he was also curious about what Yao Bao'er had snatched to be chased by two top experts.
Yao Bao'er nodded and quickly took out the purple stone she had "picked up" from her bag.
When Ye Cangtian saw the item, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise. He took the purple stone in his hand and then revealed a surprised expression.
This thing was similar to a crystal stone, but in terms of the purity of the energy it contained and its size, it was even better than those that dropped from the stone man captain he had killed before.
A purple crystal stone?
It seemed that the main hall was indeed in trouble, and there might even be more powerful stone men. These stone men were so strong that they had to be defeated by two top experts working together.
Although Ye Cangtian was not there, he could roughly guess what was happening through this purple crystal stone.
However, after two top experts painstakingly killed the stone man expert and obtained the purple crystal stone, they were snatched by these two weak girls who couldn't even lift a chicken before they could distribute it.
He wondered if those two top experts were spitting blood with anger at this moment?
Perhaps the battle in the main hall had not yet ended. Otherwise, with the strength of the two top experts, they wouldn't have let these two escape here.
Ye Cangtian chuckled, then lightly tapped Yao Bao'er's head in a scolding manner, "You, are you not afraid of death?"
Yao Bao'er felt a sting from the tap, rubbed her forehead, and asked expectantly, "Boss, can this purple stone be eaten? No, can it be exchanged for money?"
"Yes, it can be exchanged for a lot of snacks. I'll keep the item for now and give it to you when we go out!"
It wasn't that he wanted to covet this purple crystal stone, but having it on two ordinary girls was very dangerous.
After all, even ordinary crystal stones could emit a faint energy that stronger individuals might sense.
Seeing that Yao Bao'er had no objections, Ye Cangtian put it away. He also glanced around the room and asked, "After you entered this room, did anything unusual happen?"
"Unusual? No! The room was empty and there was nothing in it. It was just for a while that the door seemed to be locked from the inside and couldn't be opened!"
"No danger?"
Ye Cangtian frowned. He and Gu Yue exchanged glances, both finding it too strange.
Logically, as long as one entered a room and the door closed at the appointed time, some accident would occur within the room, leading to the death of the intruder.
But these two girls, after entering, were completely fine!
Gu Yue pondered for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Could it be because they are ordinary people?"
Ye Cangtian shook his head. There were many ordinary people who entered the ruins, and most of those armed personnel only used guns. After arriving at the ruins, they were no different from ordinary people.
But after entering the rooms, they still died inside.
He frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, "Could it be because they are women?"
Gu Yue's eyes also lit up. She knew what Ye Cangtian meant.
The statue outside was a woman. If this City Lord's Mansion truly belonged to that goddess, then perhaps there was a special mechanism within the city.
Women would not encounter danger in the rooms within the city!
Ye Cangtian touched his nose and then looked at Gu Yue, "Have any women encountered accidents in the rooms before?"
"It seems not!"
Gu Yue recalled carefully. Many major forces had entered the ruins. Although ninety percent of them were men, there was also a small portion of women.
But although those female mercenaries or assassins were attacked by stone men, they never seemed to have accidents in the rooms in the residential areas and commercial streets!
No one had thought of this before simply because there were too few women entering the ruins, and most of them were weak. Some died in the wilderness, while others were attacked by stone men after entering the city.
So, there were not many women still alive, and naturally, no one had noticed this situation.
"Perhaps what we guessed is true, or perhaps it was purely by chance that they were fine. However, it is estimated that both major factions will now be paying attention to them, which is a bit troublesome!" Ye Cangtian's expression was somewhat serious.
They snatched something from the Bright Hall and the Dark Association. It was unlikely that those people would let these two girls go.
Yao Bao'er curiously looked at Ye Cangtian and Gu Yue and mumbled, "What exactly are you talking about!"
It was as if she couldn't understand a single word!
Ye Cangtian looked at Shangguan Yanran, "You two should leave the City Lord's Mansion first and hide outside for a while!"
"What about you?" Shangguan Yanran was somewhat worried.
"Don't worry, your brother and I will be fine. You two have become targets for various parties now, and staying here is the most dangerous!"
"Alright then!" Shangguan Yanran also knew that staying here would be a burden.
"Boss, I'm out of food!" Yao Bao'er pleaded pitifully.
"I don't have any either! Don't think about it. After staying in this place for a few days, the rations carried by all parties have been consumed. We'll just have to endure it!" Ye Cangtian shrugged.
Yao Bao'er looked aggrieved. She regretted coming to this place. There wasn't even enough snacks!
It would have been better to stay outside. At least she still had some supplies in her car.
After staying in the room for a while, with only two minutes left until the next room closure, Ye Cangtian opened the door, preparing to take the two girls away from the City Lord's Mansion.
He didn't let Gu Yue follow. After all, he was appearing as Ye Cangtian of the Chinese Dragon Group. Gu Yue, as a new member of the Dark Association, following him would easily expose his identity.
He led the two girls around various side halls and was about to leave the City Lord's Mansion through the plaza.
However, he found a large group of people emerging from the main hall.
"Not good, we can't leave for now!" Ye Cangtian's expression was grave.
People from the Bright Hall and the Dark Association were coming out of the main hall. If he left with the girls now, wouldn't they be bumping right into them?
