Seeing this, Yuan Muye was a little surprised, and said calmly, "Do you know the consequences of continuing forward?"

He didn't delay and quickly replied, "I know, but..."

His eyes gradually became firmer, as if he had chosen to follow Yuan Muye no matter what.

"Forget it. Stop."

Yuan Muye said.

These words immediately made him feel relieved, as if all the pressure was gone.

"Okay, Section Chief Yuan."

Xu Tao agreed without hesitation.

He had been betting in his heart whether Yuan Muye would really let him go. If he really went, it would be a dead end.

As it turned out, he won the bet.

He retreated, and Yuan Muye said at this time, "Don't act rashly. Stand by and wait for Director Liu to arrive."

Everyone responded.

At this time, Yuan Muye had already felt a biting chill.

This biting chill swept over him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

Time passed by, and finally, a figure walked out of the mist. This figure was none other than Director Liu.

Yuan Muye looked in the direction Director Liu was walking. Director Liu was alone.

There was no one behind him, and he was injured, giving the impression that he had encountered a crisis, and a very serious one at that.

At first, everyone saw a figure approaching.

They were obviously caught off guard and unprepared.

When they gradually saw the figure clearly, they all ran up.

Yuan Muye remained standing still, not moving. He was wondering what was going on.

Normally, seeing their superior in this state, they would definitely go up and ask.

But Yuan Muye remained unmoved.

After waiting for a while, he slowly stepped forward.

At this time, everyone saw that Director Liu was injured, and they all looked worried.

Yuan Muye naturally pretended to be very worried and asked directly, "Director Liu, are you okay?"

Director Liu had scars on his face.

Director Liu's heart stirred a little when he saw Yuan Muye.

After a while, he slowly said, "I'm fine. How is the situation on your side?"

"Everything is normal. Nothing major has happened."

"That's good. I encountered some situations on my side, so I was delayed."

"What happened on your side?"

Yuan Muye asked directly without holding back.

Plus, he didn't trust him in the first place, so he pressed for an answer.

Director Liu paused for a few seconds before slowly saying, "We encountered some unexpected situations on the road. One of the evil ghosts was very strong, at least level eight or higher. We were almost completely wiped out. If the others hadn't protected me and let me retreat alone, it would have been impossible for me to leave alive."

He spoke with a look of grief.

Then he said, "I'm sorry to those who died."

Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "Director Liu, they should protect you."

Xu Tao and the others also said, "Director Liu, please don't blame yourself. Those of us in the Paranormal Bureau are always prepared to sacrifice ourselves."

Everyone spoke one after another.

Director Liu's emotions seemed to be soothed all of a sudden.

His gaze suddenly fell on Yuan Muye.

He asked, "Section Chief Yuan, if you were there, maybe so many people wouldn't have died."

Yuan Muye: "..."

Yuan Muye chuckled in his heart, "My abilities are limited. If I had gone, the result would have been the same."

"Did you see Section Chief Chen on the way?"

Yuan Muye was worried about Chen Tianang's safety.

So he asked.

"Didn't see him? Hasn't Section Chief Chen arrived yet?"

Director Liu asked.

Before Yuan Muye could speak, Xu Tao quickly replied, "Not yet. We don't know how long it will take for Section Chief Chen to arrive."

The two had a simple conversation.

Yuan Muye was still a little worried.

Could this Director Liu have done something to Chen Tianang?

"You guys quickly bandage Director Liu."

Yuan Muye gave an order.

The others quickly started to get busy.

Director Liu suddenly asked, "Section Chief Yuan, when are we going to take action?"

"Director Liu, you have the highest rank here. It's up to you to arrange it."

Yuan Muye said indifferently.

But he still added, "Try to wait for Section Chief Chen to arrive before we take action together."

Director Liu thought for a while and said, "Okay, then we'll wait for him."

In this situation, Director Liu didn't have much choice.

After all, everyone who was with him had died.

If he rashly gave orders and took great risks, the others might not be willing to do it.

So the safest way was to not give any orders himself.

And listen to Yuan Muye first.

Everything was moving forward steadily.

After waiting for a while, about ten minutes, Yuan Muye asked everyone to try to contact Section Chief Chen, but there was still no news.

Yuan Muye asked Xu Tao to take out the map, studied it, and understood the route that Section Chief Chen was taking. Then he said, "I'll go take a look. You guys wait here."

He also briefly explained the situation to Director Liu.

At first, Director Liu was unwilling.

But Yuan Muye's attitude was firm. He really wanted to go.

Seeing that there was no way to stop him, Director Liu had no choice but to agree, and told Yuan Muye to come back soon.

Seeing that Yuan Muye was going, Xu Tao quickly said, "Section Chief Yuan, I'll go with you."

After thinking about it, Yuan Muye agreed.

Before leaving, he told Director Liu to take the others away from the ghost cave to avoid any accidents.

Director Liu agreed to everything.

Yuan Muye didn't delay and started walking in the direction that Section Chief Chen was coming from with Xu Tao.

Yuan Muye was very fast, worried that something might happen to Section Chief Chen, so he walked very quickly.

He moved with lightning speed all the way.

Xu Tao couldn't even keep up with Yuan Muye's pace.

In the end, Yuan Muye carried Xu Tao forward. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they entered a barren land.

The cold wind was blowing all around.

Giving people a feeling of piercing cold.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Muye said, "Stop."

Xu Tao agreed and didn't dare to say anything.

He already felt that there was danger here.

It was safer to follow Yuan Muye.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Muye seemed to sense a familiar aura here. He asked Xu Tao to search the nearby area for any traces of Section Chief Chen.

After hearing this, Xu Tao looked embarrassed and said, "Section Chief Yuan, I can't do it. I'm afraid I can't complete the mission on my own."
