Zhang Rong was right. Gou Dan couldn't speak.
Since he couldn't speak, the person calling me in my dream definitely wasn't him.
Besides, a living person definitely couldn't appear in someone's dreams like that.
Then, if it wasn't Gou Dan either, who could it be?
"We found Gou Dan inside this cave just now."
Zhuge Ming said, "Could he have been living in there all along? Caves are warm in winter and cool in summer, after all. He's human too. Without somewhere to shelter in winter, he could easily freeze to death."
Zhang Rong nodded, but then looked puzzled again. "If Gou Dan has been living in the cave all along, and there's someone inside calling for Chen Mo, then they've been living under the same roof. Gou Dan should have seen this person."
Shi Xiu said, "Could this person be the reason Gou Dan has survived until now? Could he be that supernatural force? And could this person... still be inside right now?"
The five of us looked at one another, all waiting for someone else to suggest going inside to take a look.
We were all curious, but we were all scared too.
"How about we go in just a little..."
"We won't go too far..."
"Just one look..."
The five of us agreed at once. With a single flashlight, we huddled together and ventured deeper into the cave, trembling with fear.
This cave didn't look naturally formed. There were faint signs that it had been excavated.
But for several kilometers around, only villagers from Zhang Family Village and Tang Family Village had ever lived in this area. Shen Siwei's family, along with the people who later wiped them out, had all lived in Tang Family Village, so this cave must have been dug by the original inhabitants
