Chapter 259
I did not believe the little girl meant us any harm.
Her ability to express herself was limited, which made everything she said ambiguous.
But when I tried to confirm my interpretation with her, she shook her head again.
I began to grow anxious. Seventh Master’s life and mine were at stake.
“What does that shake mean? Did I misunderstand, or are you trying to say something else?” I asked, gripping her shoulders.
“I don’t know.” She kept shaking her head. “Someone buried something here. Something very dangerous.”
Seventh Master crouched down and calmly asked, “Girl, when you say here, where exactly do you mean? Nearby? This building? Or the exact place where we’re standing?”
She shook her head again. It was obvious she desperately wanted to tell us something but could not get it out. “I don’t know. Something was buried here.”
After thinking for a moment, I said to Seventh Master, “Why don’t we find another way out? This little girl doesn’t mean us any harm, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
