Returning to the mining village, Yan chuckled at the sight of the deserted town. The miners, once abundant when he first arrived, had left in search of other work due to the collapse of the mines. The villagers, suspected to be part of the revolutionary army, had vanished since emerging from the tunnels, likely recalled by an order.
Then, Yan encountered a familiar face.
“Ah, you’re still here?”
It was Tom, who had been helpful when Yan first came to this place. He was carrying a large backpack, seemingly filled with tools and clothes.
“I dropped something important. Have you seen a pendant by any chance?”
“A pendant? Haven’t seen one. Anyway, you should leave soon too. Heard rumors that an investigative team will swarm in soon. No good getting tangled up in that.”
It seemed some miners had caught wind of a potential revisit by the investigative team.
As Yan nodded, Tom waved and left the mining village.
“See you next time if there’s a chance!”
“Yes.”
With Tom’s departure, the mining village became a ghost town, devoid of any human presence.
