Chapter 1218: Chapter 1217: There Are Still People Hiding

Fu Xuan Ge looked at him skeptically, seeing that he seemed quite confident, and said, "We’d better seek the opinions of others on this."

Luo Yirui nodded, turned, and headed in that direction with Fu Xuan Ge, but saw that Little Fatty was hesitating, unwilling to let Luo Yirui take the risk alone. Among these people, Luo Yirui was the greatest force of combat, quick-witted and the creator of many reliable plans. Once he left, Little Fatty felt like he had lost his backbone.

However, Little Fatty knew that Luo Yirui was determined to go, and seeing that Luo Yirui called him, he sighed and followed along.

After explaining the plan, the boys looked at Luo Yirui with admiration. He dared to go alone to find the Vertical Pupil and lure it over. No one present had this courage or this ability.

After discussing some signals with Fu Xuan Ge, Luo Yirui left with Black Coal Ball. They had to make the most of the time and leave before dark. Things had reached this point; once the Nie Family realized, they would certainly not let them go, so time was of the essence.

They directly passed through the second building, with Black Coal Ball taking the lead and Luo Yirui closely following behind.

Knowing that there were surveillance devices everywhere, Luo Yirui and Black Coal Ball refrained from speaking, but Luo Yirui could understand the information Black Coal Ball conveyed with its tail.

Walking very closely one behind the other, the monitoring could not capture the strange phenomenon of Black Coal Ball leading the way.

Black Coal Ball directly entered the first building, heading straight for the first floor, but without pausing, it proceeded directly into the basement.

In the basement, the pace of the human and cat slowed down. Here, it resembled a ’field’ shape, with four independent rooms.

Black Coal Ball lightly jumped onto Luo Yirui’s shoulder, gently rubbing against his face, whispering into his ear, "Each independent storage room has twenty cells, each containing a Vertical Pupil. The Nie Family calls such places hives."

Luo Yirui was stunned upon hearing this, feeling a profound sadness in his heart. Regardless of what these people did in the past, they were now stored like items.

"Huh?"

"What’s the matter?" Luo Yirui saw puzzlement on Black Coal Ball’s face.

"The numbers aren’t right; some haven’t returned yet. Strange."

"Never mind that now; let’s lure these out first."

Black Coal Ball’s tail moved, "There’s a valve over there. Closing it will stop the release of the hypnosis gas, and the Vertical Pupils will awaken. But I can’t guarantee that I can attract all of them, and if some aren’t drawn by me, you’ll bear the consequences." Black Coal Ball finished and jumped off Luo Yirui’s shoulder, walking forward with a feline grace, glancing back at him.

Luo Yirui immediately went forward to close the valve, seeing there was nowhere to hide, recalling seeing a small iron gate leading to a water valve chamber on their way down. The gate was not locked, so he turned back, intending to hide inside it.

Meanwhile, Black Coal Ball was getting ready to lure the Vertical Pupils. There were specific ’communication’ methods among the Vertical Pupils. The dilation of their pupils and the volume of the host’s roars were forms of ’communication.’

Soon after closing the valve, there was movement in the hive.

Luo Yirui glanced over and didn’t dare delay. He pulled open the small iron gate to hide inside, only to be startled by discovering two people already hiding in the water valve chamber!
