Chapter 210 Investigating the Town.
Jun Luochuan and Su Yao knew that passively waiting in this mysterious town was tantamount to waiting for their doom. So, they made up their minds, like two brave falcons, to take the initiative and uncover the shocking truth hidden behind the seemingly peaceful town's mysterious veil.
The morning sunlight, like golden swords, tried to pierce the gloom hanging over the town, only to find its power utterly insignificant. The dappled sunlight fell on the town's streets, but could not dispel the deep worry that shrouded their hearts like a heavy haze. Jun Luochuan's expression was solemn; his deep, unfathomable eyes shone with a resolute light, like two stars burning with an inextinguishable flame.
“Su Yao, this investigation may be an adventure full of thorns and traps. Danger is like a beast lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce and devour us at any moment. But we have no choice but to bravely uncover the secrets hidden in this town, like fearless warriors.” Jun Luochuan said in a low voice, his voice deep and powerful, like a muffled thunder rumbling from the depths of the earth.
Su Yao nodded vigorously, her firm gaze carrying a hint of tension as light as a veil, but more so, an unwavering determination as firm as steel. "Don't worry, I, Su Yao, am not a coward. Even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles, I will never hold anyone back."
Their first stop was the town's library, a place that seemed like the slumbering lair of an ancient behemoth. The library appeared old and dilapidated, as if relentlessly forgotten by time. Its weathered walls, like the wrinkles on the face of a weary old man, told tales of the past.
Stepping into the library, a thick, pungent smell of old books filled the air, a suffocating, oppressive odor that seemed to carry the decaying scent of time. Su Yao couldn't help but sneeze, the sound particularly jarring in the quiet space.
"The smell here is so strong, it's like the stench of decay emanating from an ancient tomb. It's almost making me faint," Su Yao complained, her wrinkled nose resembling a small steamed bun.
Jun Luochuan ignored her complaints. His gaze, sharp as a hawk, darted swiftly between the bookshelves as he focused intently on finding any clues that might hold crucial information.
After a difficult search, like looking for a needle in a haystack, Jun Luochuan finally found a yellowed ancient book in an inconspicuous corner. The cover of the book was worn and blurred, like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes, about to tell the stories that had been sealed by the dust of time.
"Su Yao, come and take a look at this. Maybe this is the breakthrough we've been searching for." Jun Luochuan called out excitedly, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Su Yao quickly moved closer, and the two of them huddled together like two little animals seeking warmth, as they began to carefully study this ancient book full of mystery.
After leaving the library, they rushed to the town's nursing home. The elderly people there all seemed taciturn, like lonely statues, and they barely responded to their questions, as if their voices were nothing more than an insignificant breeze to them.
"Why are all these old people like this? They're all like silent gourds, they won't say a word no matter what you ask them," Su Yao said with some frustration, her pouting lips looking like they could hold a small oil bottle.
Jun Luochuan frowned, his tightly furrowed brows resembling two intertwined ropes. "Don't lose heart, Su Yao. Even if there is darkness ahead, we must believe that there will always be a glimmer of light, and there will always be a breakthrough waiting for us to discover."
Just when they felt lost and directionless, like being adrift in a vast desert, a mysterious figure appeared before them like a ghost...
