Chapter 303 "Just Who Are You?"
I, Rou Yi, and Jennifer didn't want to linger in the plaza either, so we closely followed the fatty into the passage. The passage was dark and damp, shrouded in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, and our footsteps echoed through the endless darkness ahead.
The faint green light provided limited illumination, and we could only rely on the faint light from the phosphorus stick in the fatty's hand to grope our way forward. The fatty kept telling us to be careful, to stay as close as possible, and not to separate too far.
Rou Yi and Jennifer also followed the fatty, proceeding cautiously all the way, until we finally arrived in front of a small room.
The fatty glanced into the room, and then he suddenly froze in place, his expression somewhat terrified, as if he had seen something that made him uneasy.
I quickly pulled him to my side and whispered, "What's wrong?! Is there something inside?"
The fatty took a deep breath and said to us, "There seem to be two corpses inside."
"Corpses? What's wrong with corpses? Isn't this place full of corpses?" I felt the fatty was overreacting. "You weren't this scared when you saw so many corpses in the plaza just now."
"No... it's not." The fatty stammered, "Those two corpses are different from the people in the plaza. They... they're wearing modern clothes."
Hearing the fatty's words, my heart skipped a beat.
It was very likely that someone had already been here before us.
Who could it be?
People from Organization Z, or other forces?
Or perhaps...
Han Yu's body?
Could it be that Han Yu was already dead?
I suddenly remembered that when we were climbing the mangroves, the sense of unease in my chest suddenly disappeared. Could it be related to Han Yu's death?
No wonder the fatty was suddenly so nervous. He probably also thought that one of the two corpses might be Han Yu's.
It wasn't a solution to remain silent like this. The room ahead was the only way forward, and if we didn't move forward quickly, that "woman" and the things in the plaza might catch up at any time. This potential danger kept us on edge.
"Why don't I go in and take a look?"
I patted the fatty's shoulder, indicating that I would go in first.
But the fatty stretched out his arm and blocked my way. He gritted his teeth and said, "No need, I'll go. It's alright, the fatty has to accept it sooner or later if one of those two corpses really is Han Yu."
It was alright to let him go.
Before going in, the fatty instructed us again, "You guys wait for me here. Only come in after I confirm there's no danger. It's still a bit strange that these two corpses appeared here."
Jennifer wanted to go in with the fatty, but the fatty stopped her and refused.
I said to Jennifer, "It's okay, let him go. If there's any danger, I'll be the first to rush in and save him."
Jennifer nodded at me, and then let the fatty go in. We stared at the fatty's every move from outside the room.
After the fatty went in, he first stood in front of the two corpses and looked at them for a long time. Then he squatted down and carefully examined them.
After a while, he said to us outside the room, "Rou Yi, Jennifer, come and take a look."
The fatty didn't call my name, but I subconsciously followed behind Rou Yi and Jennifer, wanting to go in together.
Just then, the fatty suddenly shouted excitedly, "Young Master! You... don't panic, help us keep watch in case that old hag chases us. We'll be caught off guard if we're ambushed!"
I waved my hand and joked, "Okay, okay, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
After Rou Yi and Jennifer went in, the fatty pulled Rou Yi to observe the two corpses, whispering to each other while looking, their voices so low that I couldn't hear them clearly.
It felt like these three were plotting something.
The room was too dark. Through the phosphorus stick, I could vaguely see the faces of the fatty and Rou Yi. Their expressions were ugly, and their brows were tightly furrowed.
Judging from their expressions, one of the corpses should be Han Yu's.
Seeing that they had been delayed in the room for too long, I looked back and forth in the passage for a long time and didn't find any danger, so I also walked into the room.
"What's the situation with these two corpses, fatty?"
When the fatty saw me coming in, he suddenly became nervous. He immediately stood up, protecting Rou Yi and Jennifer behind him, and at the same time drew his hunting knife, pointing the tip of the knife at me, and asked in fear, "Who... who exactly are you?"
