Chapter 88 - 4.11
Somehow, Jiang Jiamian recalled the beginning of the story that Naino had told twice - in an old manor in the dark forest, there was a man who had been sitting in a wheelchair all year round...
Jiang Jiamian silently glanced behind him. The rugged dirt road ended at his feet, at the edge of the forest. It was indeed impossible for the car to drive further in.
The forest in front of them was tall and dense, and there was no road ahead. Only in the wider tree space, and based on the slanting direction of the weeds, could he vaguely see the traces of someone coming in and out.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang Jiamian, we can only send you here. Dr. Yuan will not allow us to step into the forest. The only way left is for you and Naino to go in by yourself."
The two staff members watched helplessly. Naino walked into the forest with Jiang Jiamian in his arms, but they had no intention of following.
Naino held Jiang Jiamian over the weeds and gradually went deeper into the forest.
The figures of the two people quickly disappeared into the shadows of the trees behind them.
This forest looks like it has existed for a long time. There are towering trees that are as straight as small towers, and there are also clammy trees with winding and twisted branches and leaves in shapes that resemble a ghost.
It was still daytime at this time, but the dense branches and leaves almost blocked most of the light, giving the entire forest a dark, airtight, and oppressive feeling.
In the grass, insects chirped intermittently, one after another.
The dark green leaves seemed to be dripping with water, full of moisture, and thick tree wax even flowed on many wet tree trunks.
