Thinking of this, Li Rui felt a chill run down his spine. Was this person really talking to the statue? Could it be that the statue was alive?
"General, I think it would be better for us to implement the next step of the plan as soon as possible."
Gradually, Li Rui found himself getting a bit bored. This person had been talking all along, and he hadn't heard any response. It seemed that this person was truly foolish.
With that thought, Li Rui leaned against the statue. Fine, let it be for now. If things got out of hand, he could quietly leave or knock the person out directly.
"Alright, alright, General, don't worry. I will do as you say. Yes, yes, this is what I should do..."
Li Rui did not hear any response; he only heard the person flattering and agreeing from where he stood. Strangely enough, that odd feeling surged back into his heart, and the emotions he had just calmed down were once again tumultuous.
Li Rui gently searched around behind the statue but found nothing unusual. Forget it; he probably wouldn't see anything now. He would come back to check when he had time.
Thinking this way, he decided to leave quickly. The longer he stayed here, the more uncomfortable he felt, and that strange sensation grew stronger.
Just as he was about to leave, his clothing brushed against a nearby stone. The originally soft sound became exceptionally clear in such a quiet environment.
"Who!"
The person's tone turned cold as he asked sharply behind the statue while slowly moving closer to it. He hadn’t expected to be followed by someone and realized that this person seemed to have been here for quite some time.
With that thought, a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes. The secret here absolutely could not be revealed to anyone; the only solution...
Thinking this way, he gripped his weapon tightly in hand, ready to kill that person at any moment.
Li Rui never expected to be so unlucky. Just as he was about to leave, he was discovered. Looking around, he found no place to hide, and the person was getting closer and closer.
Just when he didn't know what to do, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside, seemingly indicating that someone was rushing this way.
With no other choice, the person had to leave in a hurry. If more people found out about this place, it would definitely ruin everything!
He glanced at the statue with a troubled expression before turning to leave.
Li Rui patted his chest, still feeling shaken. He recalled the gaze he had inadvertently seen earlier, as if it could tear him apart—dark and terrifying, giving the impression that it could take a life at any moment.
He stood in front of the statue and couldn't see anything unusual about it. He had no idea what that person was muttering about.
He walked around the statue several times, touched it here and there, and occasionally knocked on it, but still found nothing. There were no mechanisms or anything similar in sight.
Stopping in front of the statue, Li Rui looked at it carefully. For some reason, he felt as if the statue was also watching him, its gaze cold and malicious.
Li Rui thought he might be losing his mind or that he had been infected by that person's strange behavior, leading to all sorts of unfounded thoughts.
To avoid further trouble, Li Rui quickly left the area. Once outside, he sensed that everyone seemed to be looking for someone. After asking around, he learned that ammunition had gone missing.
Li Rui felt it would be better to leave this place. After clarifying things, he turned to leave but was suddenly stopped by someone:
"Stop!"
The voice was all too familiar to him; it belonged to the person who had been talking to himself by the statue. Li Rui frowned, realizing that he hadn't seen what he looked like at that time, so the person probably didn't know he was the one behind the statue.
He kept staring at Li Rui, making Li Rui feel uneasy because he noticed that the more he looked, the darker the person's expression became. Just when Li Rui felt something was about to happen, the person turned and began searching in another direction.
After he left, Li Rui realized his palms were sweaty and his face was a bit paler than before. He recalled the look in that person's eyes when he had scrutinized him, feeling as if he had been targeted by a sharp tongue.
It was like lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce and bite you when you least expected it; that person's gaze gave him just that impression.
Li Rui let out a sigh of relief; thankfully, he couldn't leave like this now.
With everyone searching for ammunition, if he left at this moment, wouldn't it clearly indicate that something was wrong with him?
Thus, Li Rui not only decided against leaving but also joined in the search. However, he wasn't particularly invested since he was the one who had taken the ammunition; whether they found it or not would yield no results for him.
Halfway through the search, another team approached them. Originally, each team was searching independently without interfering with one another, but the person who had spoken by the statue suddenly called out to stop them:
"Stop! Please submit to a check."
The other party was also looking for ammunition and naturally did not want to comply upon hearing his words. With an unfriendly expression, they replied,
"On what basis? We are also searching for ammunition. Why should we be checked?"
"Because I am the person in charge of this operation." Lu Lin sneered, raising his head arrogantly as he looked at Yu Shen. He had always found Yu Shen displeasing and often caused trouble for him; it was only natural that he would take this opportunity to deal with him!
"Lu Lin, don't go too far!" Yu Shen said angrily. Usually, Lu Lin would find trouble for him and set traps, but now he was openly bullying him. Did he really think his temper was that good?
So his name was Lu Lin! Li Rui noted this name in his mind, determined to investigate this person and his background.
The leader on the other side was named Yu Shen, who was also a proud person. He had always disapproved of Lu Lin's methods, and now that he was being blocked by him, he was already holding back his anger. Hearing that Lu Lin wanted to search his team only made him more furious.
"I don't agree. You have no right to search my people. If you keep pestering me, I won't be polite to you."
"Oh, I want to see how you won't be polite to me," Lu Lin said, stepping back and raising a hand to command, "Search them!"
Yu Shen naturally refused. Lu Lin had always been arrogant, and they had always been rivals. If he really let Lu Lin search his team, Lu Lin would definitely become even more arrogant in the future, and he wouldn't have the face to continue in this line of work.
The two sides immediately started fighting. In an instant, the area was filled with smoke and the sounds of screams and fighting echoed everywhere.
Li Rui was astonished, nearly dropping his jaw. No way, they just started fighting like this? These two were too impulsive; they didn't even think about the consequences. However, Li Rui didn't care about them. The more fiercely they fought, the better it would be for him. He wouldn't help either side and just stood aside with his arms crossed, watching the show.
