Chapter 216: Do You Feel Ufortable?


    Fatty, who had charged into the forest, kept constant attention on the situation behind him. After the things on the stone te revived, they wouldn’t let them go so easily. The Doctor’s serious expression proved that.


    “Doctor,” Fatty asked without stopping, “Why aren’t those things chasing after us? Plus… the red barrier has disappeared as well.”


    Jiang Cheng ran fast. As Fatty turned his head around, Jiang Cheng moved another few metres ahead of him.


    “If you really want to know, you can turn back to look.” Jiang Cheng’s voice entered Fatty’s ears. It didn’t sound that clear because they were running.


    Jiang Cheng only slowed down when they reached the edge of the forest. Fatty gasped for air as he followed the Doctor carefully. His beady eyes looked around. The Doctor was worried about something. He knew that Chen Ran might be lying in an ambush at the edge of the forest. The Doctor kept Su Xiaoxiao alive to lure him out. Based on the conversation between the Doctor and Su Xiaoxiao, it was Chen Ran who initiated this mission. He had the newspaper article with the clue. No wonder he looked so confident.


    “Doctor,” Fatty leaned over to ask, “Could Chen Ran have obtained all the clues?”


    “No clue.”


    “Then…” Fatty suddenly shut up because he noticed Jiang Cheng tense up. Thetter’s eyes were focused in a specific direction. Fatty followed his gaze. A handsome figure sauntered out from behind a tree, “Brother Hao, Big Brother,” Chen Ran put his hands in his pockets and grinned, “Long time no see.”


    Fatty looked around to find a weapon. Even a wooden club or a stone would work. Chen Ran left a deep impression on him. Su Xiaoxiao was a trained fighter, but she was like a toy in Chen Ran’s hands. Just as Fatty thought they were about to fight…“I’ve been looking for you guys.” Chen Ran asked concernedly, “I didn’t expect you to have entered the forest.” He smiled, “So, did you find anything?”


    Fatty was startled. He wondered if Chen Ran had lost his memory or if he had schizophrenia.


    “We didn’t discover much.” Jiang Cheng replied lightly, “We found the white te, which could have been called an altar. We also watched a show near it.”


    Chen Ran raised his brow, and his grin grew wider, “A show?”


    “That’s right. Two conceited idiots worked together to scam their friends. Unfortunately, their scam was exposed. In the end, they had a falling out. One died, and the other escaped.” Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Ran and sighed regretfully, “It’s a shame that Brother Chen has missed it.”


    Fatty shivered when he heard that. He had to admire the Doctor’s way of scolding people.


    “Is that so…” Chen Ran narrowed his eyes. “Based on what Brother Hao said, it was a shame for me to miss it.”


    “It’s fine.” Jiang Cheng shrugged, “I’ll be sure to inform you if I run into such idiots again.”


    “Then, I’ll have to trouble Brother Hao.”


    “You’re wee.”


    Fatty’s brain buzzed. It felt like a beehive had been stuffed in it. Even as he walked back with Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran, he still hadn’t recovered. It confused him. The two were like two lions in the same territory. However, things changed in an instant. Jiang Cheng hugged Chen Ran’s neck, and Chen Ran cupped Jiang Cheng’s waist. They were like brothers who met after years of missing each other.


    “Brother Chen, what’s your opinion of this mission?” Jiang Cheng looked at him with passion and kindness.


    Chen Ran thought about it and answered, “Based on what Brother Hao said, the white stone te should be a kind of altar. Its use is to revive the dead.


    “Of course, the things that got revived can’t be called humans anymore. They are merely monsters in human skins.” Chen Ran hugged Jiang Cheng’s waist tightly. He smiled, “What about Brother Hao? What do you think?”


    “My opinion is not as worthy as yours.” Jiang Cheng replied, “I’m too ashamed to share it because I’m still not certain of it.”


    “Is it because you’re missing some clues?” Chen Ran asked with intrigue.


    “Yes.”


    Chen Ren nodded and said sincerely, “I didn’t know you entered the forest before this. I didn’t dare to enter it to search for you. Therefore, I only walked around the edge. However, somehow, I stumbled across some clues.


    “It’s on the stone pir close to the first stone door. It’s a carved painting.” Chen Ran smiled, “Who would have thought there’d be a clue there? If I didn’t walk around out of boredom, I would have missed it.”


    Jiang Cheng gave Chen Ran a thumbs up. “Brother Chen is definitely not a cunning man. You are willing to share such an important clue. If I didn’t know you well, I would thought you’re a bastard who has the newspaper article with the clue and uses it to scam others!”


    “Haha… Brother Hao sure likes to joke.”


    Fatty could see Chen Ran’s face darken. His grin became ghastly. His right eye kept twitching.


    Fatty once asked the Doctor in private if he was beaten up when he was in school. Fatty believed that if one of his ssmates had the Doctor’s sharp tongue, they would be beaten up all day, every day. However, the Doctor imed that he was well-respected by his peers and the teachers.


    Fatty had personally experienced the Doctor’s mad tongue. Therefore, he dropped the issue. After all, Jiang Cheng also imed that he used his charm to take over Chen Xiaomeng, causing thetter to voluntarily give him the newspaper article.


    “Is this the clue?” Jiang Cheng knelt before the stone pir.


    Chen Ran nodded. “That’s right.” Momentster, Chen Ran added, “Brother Hao, can you move your arm away from my neck?”


    Jiang Cheng pulled Chen Ran in. Thetter had to kneel down with him. It was very ufortable.


    “Does it make you ufortable?” Jiang Cheng gasped in shock.


    “I don’t mind it.” Chen Ran shrugged. Then, he shot a nce at Fatty who was hiding in the side. He smiled, “I’m afraid that Big Brother might feel ufortable seeing us like this.”
