The little boy looked at Attorney An as if he were an idiot.
Attorney An felt a little embarrassed by the look.
But recalling the boss and Yingying's reactions to that green stone,
He stared at the little boy with a determined look and said:
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll enjoy it."
Even if the amount wasn't enough, giving the little boy a hit shouldn't be a problem.
Attorney An ignored the men drinking and watching the site, and instead continued to delve deeper into the mine. He had been busy in the hospital for half a day, using hypnosis and coercion to extract the information he needed, so he no longer needed to capture anyone for information.
Years ago, mine areas all over the country were basically synonymous with "chaos," but things had greatly improved in recent years.
Of course, whether it was chaotic here or not didn't affect Attorney An anyway, as he had a top-notch bodyguard behind him.
Deep inside the mine, there was a cave. This shouldn't have been part of the mining area, but there were devices fixed to both sides of the cave for descending.
"What are they mining below?"
The little boy asked, walking to the edge of the pit.
It was too simple; it didn't look like a mine.
"Excavation in other areas caused this place to crack. The boss's son sent people down to investigate, and they came back with a green stone, thinking they'd struck a jade vein because their ancestral graves were smoking.
Heh, it really was their ancestral graves smoking, but it backfired.
The boss's son took some workers down with equipment, and none of them came back up.
Afterward, the boss sent more people down. This time, some came back up—eight went down, four came back, one died instantly, and the other three went crazy.
Accidents in the mines are generally sensitive, and the boss himself had a sudden heart attack and was sent to the hospital. For now, the matter is being covered up."
There were many twists and turns in the world, black and white, light and dark, and Attorney An didn't bother to explain them to the little boy. The most important thing was to take advantage of this brief "window of opportunity" to get things done. Otherwise, when official and private teams entered the area, it would be much more troublesome to do anything.
Attorney An shook his hands, and the flesh immediately receded, turning them into two skeletal hands. He looked at his flawless white bone hands, then looked down below, and smacked his lips.
To use such exquisite hands for rock climbing,
Was truly a waste of talent.
"Going down?"
The little boy walked up to Attorney An and asked.
"Nonsense, of course, we have to go down."
"Okay."
The little boy nodded,
Reached out and hugged Attorney An's waist.
"Hey!"
Attorney An didn't even have time to say a second word before he felt his feet leave the ground instantly, followed by a dizzying sensation, entering a state of rapid free fall.
The little boy hugged Attorney An,
And jumped!
As recklessly as could be!
The cave wasn't too deep, but that was relative to a mine. They fell for quite a while. When they were about to land, the little boy used his waist strength, detached from Attorney An, and landed first. Then, he spread his arms, and Attorney An landed in the little boy's embrace.
"Okay."
The little boy tilted his head down,
Signaling Attorney An to get down.
Attorney An left the embrace of his "pillow partner" and straightened his clothes.
There was a lot of accumulated water at the bottom of the pit, reaching the ankles. Fortunately, there was a small path, only half a person tall, so they didn't need to play any more choice games.
They walked inside, bending over, for a short while, when the little boy's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he reached out to grab Attorney An, who was walking in front.
"Are you enjoying it?"
Attorney An asked expectantly.
The little boy twitched the corner of his mouth,
And said:
"There's a special smell."
"You're being quite subtle."
Attorney An continued to walk inside. Suddenly, it opened up, revealing a circular pit. There was a drop-off here, and the accumulated water was even higher.
Attorney An stepped down, the water already reaching his knees. He shined his flashlight around and could clearly see green reflective objects on the pit walls in front of him.
Hey,
They really found it,
It felt like it came without any effort at all.
But Attorney An didn't get carried away. Although the boss's son and the group of workers were just ordinary people, they were all experienced underground workers who had been through "storms."
There must be something wrong down here.
The little boy walked out from behind Attorney An.
He was relatively short, so the water level had already passed his thighs. However, he seemed very calm and even took the initiative to dive into the water. Soon, he surfaced, along with the corpse of an adult male beside him.
The corpse had been soaked so much that it felt like a piece of bread thrown into boiling water.
The facial features were no longer visible.
Attorney An pulled the corpse in front of him,
Not minding the appearance of the corpse or the nauseating smell,
But,
After examining it,
Attorney An still shook his head.
He couldn't find the cause of death.
Although the corpse had become a giant, if the death was caused by external injuries, some traces could still be found.
If it wasn't caused by external injuries,
Then,
Was there something wrong with the air here?
"Hey, go ahead and see if you can pry off a few pieces of that green stone from the pit wall and bring them back."
Attorney An instructed the little boy.
The other party was a zombie,
And the stone was corpse poison. For zombies, it was considered a tonic.
As a precaution, Attorney An was unwilling to risk himself. Furthermore, he believed in the little boy's abilities.
The little boy nodded,
And began to move forward quickly.
The accumulated water below couldn't stop his movements.
With him as the center,
Waves rippled outwards.
The corpses of the victims, wearing worker uniforms, appeared one after another nearby.
Attorney An was still holding up his phone to illuminate the little boy,
But somehow,
The flashlight function of the phone suddenly malfunctioned.
"Damn, is it water damage?"
Attorney An took the phone back and patted it. The phone light quickly returned, but when he held it up again, he couldn't see the little boy in front.
"Hey!"
Attorney An shouted.
"Plop!"
A muffled sound came, like a fish falling into the water, followed by the sound of splashing.
Then,
There were successive "plops" and "plops."
Attorney An turned to look at his side. He shone the light over and saw a black object like a snakeskin bag falling onto the water's surface.
Then,
The "snakeskin bag" suddenly split open, and black worms as thick as chopsticks scattered across the water's surface.
At the same time,
From within the giant corpse beside him,
These worms were constantly emerging.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
Snakeskin bags continued to fall,
The number of black worms around was increasing more and more.
They began to gather, they began to swarm, and then they pounced on Attorney An together.
For a moment,
All sorts of thoughts flew through Attorney An's mind,
But he quickly made a decision.
He turned around,
And ran!
Because there was a lot of accumulated water below, it was difficult for Attorney An to run very fast. Moreover, he could feel that his skin had already been climbed upon by those black worms.
An extremely itchy sensation immediately came, and Attorney An staggered, then simply fell into the water.
The itchy feeling began to dissipate. Attorney An could feel a thick layer of "grease" above him. This was certainly not real grease, but the manifestation of those black worms stacked together.
However,
What made Attorney An breathe a sigh of relief was that these worms seemed to only be able to stay on the surface of the water and couldn't go down.
Was it because of buoyancy?
This time, it was really embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do. First, there were too many worms, and second, they weren't ghosts after all. Attorney An had many ways to deal with ghosts, but he was really at a loss for this kind of "biological weapon," and he didn't dare to bet with his own body.
The boss was already carbonized and lying in bed. If something happened to him, and he also lay down to hibernate, who would be in charge of the bookstore?
The old Taoist?
Holding his breath,
Because the water level was really not high, Attorney An could only keep his back as close to the ground below as possible, and then began to try to move.
Fortunately, the terrifying number of black worms above didn't continue to move with him.
Attorney An also found it difficult to distinguish the direction at this time, only knowing that he had to get as far away from that area as possible.
Finally, after sensing that there were no worms gathering in the water above him, Attorney An surfaced, quickly taking a breath, and at the same time, preparing to submerge again.
But,
When he took a breath,
He suddenly saw that small figure sitting in front of him!
"Hey!"
Attorney An shouted.
If the little boy was there, he could drive away those worms, and then he would be safe. It wasn't that Attorney An always liked to use people as shields. When you really think about it, Attorney An was probably the one in the whole bookstore who had the best relationship with the little boy.
The little boy was a zombie, and those worms definitely couldn't burrow into his skin, so the damage to him could be basically ignored.
Hearing Attorney An's call,
The little boy turned around,
Attorney An saw that the little boy was holding a green stone the size of a sea bowl,
And the little boy's face was also glowing green, with a look of intoxication.
Damn,
He was high.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Attorney An shouted,
Just like shouting to an addict: You must control your Ji Ji!
The little boy looked at Attorney An, a strange smile appearing on his face. He reached out and broke off a piece of the green stone the size of a fingernail.
"Bang!"
The little boy moved very quickly, directly pinching Attorney An's chin, exerting force with his fingertips, forcing Attorney An to open his mouth.
Attorney An never expected the little boy to attack him, so he had no defense at all!
"Ugh...ugh ugh..."
Attorney An struggled.
The little boy used his other hand to bring the green stone to Attorney An's mouth,
At the same time,
He lowered his voice and said slowly:
"This,
Good stuff,
You eat."
