Luoyang took Zhan Zhao and others to a strange place - the entrance of an abandoned underground passage in City S.

This underground passage should have been built many years ago, and is located in the corner of a factory building in an abandoned private factory on the outskirts of S City. Bai Yutang stared at the dark entrance and asked Luoyang: "The bearded man you mentioned lives in this cave?"

Luoyang nodded and shook his head, saying, "This is just the entrance, his house is very inside."

"Living in the underground road?" Ouyang Chun touched his chin in confusion, and his face showed some confusion. To be honest, he was not very clear about what Zhan Zhao and the others were investigating, but it seemed to be related to this case, so he didn't ask much and wait and see what happened.

Luoyang moved away a pile of seemingly messy waste paper boxes next to it, and a small cabinet was exposed behind it. There was an old-style oil lamp and a box of matches in the cabinet. He skillfully lit the oil lamp. Luoyang looked up at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao and said, "Let's go." After that, he carried the oil lamp and walked into the entrance of the underground road first.

As the most primitive residence of mankind, the cave has been forgotten by people. This former home not only does not leave any warm memories in our consciousness, but has inexplicably been covered with a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.

The three of them walked slowly along the dusty □□, as Yangyang slowly walked in, Zhan Zhao was surprised to find that Luoyang was not afraid at all. Few children were not afraid of the darkness. Humans were afraid of darkness, caves, and most unknowns... This also caused most of the initial nightmares of humanity to carry a long tunnel that was dark and endless. They all led to the distance, and what awaited us at the end of the tunnel would be unprecedented dangers.

Due to years of disrepair, several places in the underground passage have seeped into the ground water. The sound of water droplets falling on the ground becomes extremely clear under the unique cage effect of the tunnel. It is accompanied by the footsteps of the four people, forming a wonderful echo, as if something is coming from behind, following closely.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao in a curious voice: "Is this tunnel connected with the last one?"

Zhan Zhao nodded: "It's all right, this piece of authentic tunnel has a network structure and the terrain is very complex."

Luoyang, who was walking in front, said: "Everyone should follow closely. There are many forks here, and it will be bad if you get lost.

Zhan Zhao smiled and asked Luoyang if there was a three-fork in front, with both the left and the middle blocks, and only the right one was connected?"

Yang Yang was shocked and opened his eyes wide when he heard this, "How did you know? You have been here before?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, without answering, but asked: "Yangyang, have you always come alone before?"

"Yes." Luoyang nodded, "Uncle bearded and dad took me through a few times, and then most of the time I came alone."

"Law Wen has also been here?" Bai Yutang interrupted and asked.

"Yeah." Luoyang nodded. Soon, everyone turned around and saw the three-point intersection mentioned by Zhan Zhao just now, so they walked into the path on the right. This fork was narrower than the one just now. The three of them lined up and continued to walk in. Zhan Zhao asked Luoyang again: "Yangyang, aren't you afraid of entering this dark hole alone?"

Luoyang looked back at Zhan Zhao in confusion: "What are you afraid of? There are no one here, so there are only two or three little mice at most."

Ouyang Chun, who was walking at the end, couldn't help but be surprised: "In this kind of place, the more courageous adults must consider when they come in alone. This child is really brave."

Bai Yutang noticed Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, then leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice: "Maoer, what's the problem?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head gently, glanced at Bai Yutang, and signaled - let's talk later.

The four of them walked forward for a while and then heard Yang Yang say, "It's almost here."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "There should be a relatively large vertical shaft in front of it that can reach the ground, so the space will be relatively large, but the entrance of this vertical shaft has been sealed, right?"

Luoyang tilted his head and looked at Zhan Zhao: "How come you know everything?"

Zhan Zhao reached out to touch his head and smiled: "Is your bearded uncle usually here at this time?"

Luoyang shook his head: "He should not be there at this time." As he spoke, a large rusty iron door appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with a ring-shaped rotor handle on the door. Luoyang took two steps, held the iron ring, and pulled it down hard. With his movements, the rotor slowly turned one square, and then a "creak" sound, and the thick door opened.

Behind the door was a dark room. Luoyang walked in with an oil lamp, jumped up, pulled a rope hanging from the center ceiling of the room, and then the lights in the room lit up.

"Why are there still electricity?" Ouyang Chun was a little surprised.

"Not only electricity, but also closed circuits..." Bai Yutang pointed to a TV on a table in a corner of the room and said.

Everyone looked around and saw that this was a closed space of about ten square meters. It was a first impression of neatness. Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "This kid has ever been a soldier?"

Zhan Zhao also discovered that the layout and neat decoration of the room did look like a person who had received military training, so he suddenly thought: "Xiaobai, will that number of 3-17-12 be related to the military camp?"

Bai Yutang stared at a bed against the wall in the room for a while, shook his head and said, "He should have received military training, but he may not have been a soldier."

"What do you say?" Ouyang Chun asked.

Bai Yutang thought about it and felt a little embarrassed, saying, "I can't say it, it seems that something is missing."

"Is it something related to the army?" Zhan Zhao said, looking around the empty walls and simple furnishings.

"Ah! Yes!" Bai Yutang suddenly realized, "Generally those who retire will retain some things in the army, such as military uniforms, medals, cups, etc."

"It may also be thrown away." Ouyang Chun said.

"No." Zhan Zhao shook his head, reached out and touched the wall gently, and walked slowly around the room, saying: "On ordinary people have only two reasons to maintain a very unsatisfactory living habit: one is extreme liking, and the other is extreme adaptation. For example, Xiaobai used to be an air force and enjoyed that feeling when he was in the army, so he retained some of his living habits after retirement, and his military uniform and everything related to the army were placed in a more prominent position because this is his glory. On the contrary... If he is a deserter, or the life of the army makes him unhappy, he will do everything possible to eliminate the traces of his life in the army... Keeping the habit can only be said that this lifestyle has become an instinct."

After listening to Zhan Zhao's narration, Ouyang Chun was still a little confused, so he asked: "What do you mean is he a deserter?"

"From his behavior, this militarized life has eroded his entire life. Generally, such a heavy impact is basically formed in childhood. In this era, where are regular soldiers recruiting young children... If they are adult soldiers, they cannot keep souvenirs without keeping their living habits."

"Many veterans who were stimulated by the Vietnam War rely more on military uniforms and guns than on their lifestyles." Bai Yutang agreed with Zhan Zhao's point of view and emphasized: "This person's life is more cruel than militarization!"

"What exactly is it?" Ouyang Chun's identity as an Interpol reminded him of many training methods related to terrorist organizations, but then he thought it was unlikely.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, smiled, and said, "I can only say that he has lived in a militarized management environment for a long time, so that he has completely adapted to this way of existence and cannot change it. He is extremely disgusted with it, but he cannot get rid of it." When he said this, Zhan Zhao had slowly turned around the room for almost three times. Finally, he seemed to have touched something, and gently tapped it on the wall twice, making a "dongdong" sound.

Bai Yutang's eyes lit up: "Hollow?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and took a step back. Bai Yutang stepped forward and tapped the wall a few times. He took out the key and picked it up in a gap in the wall. With a "click", a square stone slab was pried open and there was a hole behind it.

Bai Yutang reached in and pulled out a box, the size of a shoe box.

Ouyang Chun and Zhan Zhao both surrounded and looked around, and even Xiao Luoyang came up curiously.

Bai Yutang opened the lid and everyone was stunned. They saw a white skull in the box.

All three of them were policemen, and they could tell at a glance that the skull was not imitated, but belonged to real people. Zhan Zhao subconsciously looked down at Luoyang, and saw him standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck to look at him. Apart from surprise and curiosity, there was no sign of fear. Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao suddenly reached out and slapped Luoyang's shoulder. With a "bang", it shocked Ouyang Chun and Bai Yutang beside him. After looking at Luoyang again, he saw him looking at Zhan Zhao with wide eyes and puzzled, as if asking, "You call me?"

Bai Yutang also saw some clues, and thought about the last time he was watching in the orphanage, the fierce puppy was barking at Luoyang, and Luoyang seemed to not even frown.

Ouyang Chun took a breath and said to himself: "Will ordinary children be so brave?"

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, reached out to pinch Luoyang's arm, and asked, "Yangyang, does it hurt?"

Luoyang blinked and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."

"Maoer, what are you doing?" Bai Yutang was confused by Zhan Zhao's actions. He was about to ask a question when he saw Zhan Zhao raise his hand and pinch his arm.

"Hiss..." Bai Yutang grinned his teeth in pain. He was about to glar at someone, but he heard Zhan Zhao say softly: "I use the same strength."

Bai Yutang and Ouyang Chun were both shocked. What was going on? This child didn’t know how scared or hurt!

Zhan Zhao squatted down and looked directly at Luoyang and said, "Yangyang, are you very strong?"

Luoyang thought for a while and nodded: "Yes."

Bai Yutang also remembered that Luoyang once tore a puppy open and beat Yu Qingyan seriously injured with bare hands. Moreover, the iron gate just now was not something that ordinary seven-year-olds could pull.

Zhan Zhao stood up, turned to look at Bai Yutang, and asked, "Who have you thought of?"

Bai Yutang was stunned and said after a long time, "My brother..."

"Brother's strength is more powerful than ordinary people." Zhan Zhao nodded, "and he felt a dull pain and had no sense of fear."

Ouyang Chun, who was beside him, listened for a long time and asked Bai Yutang: "Is it your brother's son? That's your nephew? Then you still adopt it, this relationship is too messy."

Zhan Zhao looked at him weakly and thought to himself that Ouyang Chun still had a sense of humor. Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang waved his hand firmly and said, "No, the one with the surname Bai will not look so dark! If you want to recognize your relatives, it is also the one with the surname Bao!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao pinched him again.

"But do you remember that my elder brother was not like this before, but only changed after he was rescued." Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "And... his situation is not as good as Yang Yang,"

Bai Yutang nodded, his mind was messy, and his chest felt blocked. He shook his head, lowered his head and took out the skull for Zhan Zhao, and asked, "It should be a man?"

Zhan Zhao took it and took a look: "Adult man."

"It seems that there is something in the box." Ouyang Chun said, pointing to an envelope at the bottom of the box.

Bai Yutang took out an envelope and felt a thick stack of things inside. He opened the envelope and poured it out, pouring out a stack of photos.

These photos have been a long time ago. In black and white, there are photos of more than a dozen teenagers, like camping because the background is a bush. These teenagers are a bit weird. They don’t have the smiley faces that ordinary children should have when camping, but their faces are expressionless.

"It seems to be getting bigger!" Zhan Zhao reached out and pulled out a few pictures and said, "These look like they look five or six years old, and they are seven or eight years old here, and these pictures are almost ten years old."

Ouyang Chun also took a few photos and looked at it. After a long time, he took a breath and said, "What a terrible expression..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both agreed with him. How can I describe this expression? I am completely unhappy, lack of expression, facial paralysis, and even the face of a living dead person.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other suddenly as they looked at each other - this expression seemed familiar, and Bai Jintang's face, who had just come out of the sterile room after being rescued, felt really similar at first.

Just then, a "clang" suddenly came from the door, as if something hit the iron door.

Everyone was shocked, and Bai Yutang rushed out in an instant and shouted, "Stop!"

Zhan Zhao was anxious and shouted and chased out: "Xiaobai, don't run around, you will get lost!" But Bai Yutang was already chasing a dark figure in front of him, rushing over. Seeing that he ran farther and farther away, Zhan Zhao became wise in anger and shouted: "3-17-12!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow suddenly stopped. Bai Yutang rushed over, pressed him down and put handcuffs. After hearing the numbers, the black shadow seemed to have been lit with acupuncture points, without any reaction. Even Bai Yutang who handcuffed him felt strange.

"Uncle bearded!" Luoyang wanted to rush up, but was hugged by Ouyang Chun. "You said you would not catch him..." Luoyang protested against Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao touched his hair and whispered: "Don't worry, as long as he didn't do anything bad, we won't hurt him, we just have some words to think about it."

Luoyang looked at Zhan Zhao's eyes and finally calmed down.

Bai Yutang reached out to pull up the man in black on the ground and took him back to the room. Under the light, the few people saw the appearance of this beard clearly for the first time.
