The Labyrinth of the Monsters-Chapter 53 – Farewell Ancient Village
White Rabbit led Wu Dahai and the others to the slope of Ancient Village.
The mourning shed outside the ancestral hall had been dismantled, leaving only some firework debris and wreaths on the flat ground. The group pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and arrived at the ancient well in the courtyard.
"It should be here." White Rabbit was not very sure. She lowered her mask and reached out her hand to Electric Mouse. "Give me the rune circuit."
While White Rabbit was speaking, Chubby Jun quickly approached and stole a glance at her, blushing instantly - she was indeed a cute girl, with a small tiger tooth, which was his type. If only she didn't dress like a little girl, and had a more Japanese sweet girl style, she would be perfect.
Chubby Jun was lost in his thoughts when Electric Mouse took out a round object from his pocket, about the size of a compact powder, very thin, with an estimated thickness of 1cm.
Everyone was unconsciously attracted to this exquisite object. It was made of silver metal, with tiny grooves similar to integrated circuits engraved on it, and constantly flashing lights flowing in the grooves. In the middle of the route, there was an "eye" totem, emitting a texture that was both ancient and mysterious, as if it came from an ancient civilization where technology and magic coexisted.
"What is this?" Gao Yang's curiosity was aroused.
"We call it a rune circuit." White Rabbit held it in her hand. "This thing is very rare and has great uses. Thanks to you five today, we were able to get it."
"Hmph, with this piece, our organization now has two rune circuits." Wu Dahai said proudly.
"What is it used for?" Gao Yang continued to ask.
"I'll explain later, let's go out first." White Rabbit held the rune circuit and reached it into the air above the well. Only a buzzing sound was heard in the air, and a beam of light shone from the bottom of the well.
White Rabbit retracted the rune circuit in her hand and smiled as expected. "Yes, it's the same as the previous underground domain."
White Rabbit turned around. "One by one, no rush. Electric Mouse, you go first, I'll cover the rear."
"No problem." Wu Dahai struck a handsome pose and leaped towards the well. He didn't fall into the well, but instead ignored gravity and floated in the orange-yellow light that shot out from the well.
After a pause of about two seconds, a swoosh sound was heard, and Wu Dahai followed the trajectory of the light and soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
Gao Yang understood that this was a high-tech "elevator".
"Next." White Rabbit said.
"I'll go!" Wang Zikai eagerly jumped into the beam of light and quickly "ascended".
Next were Officer Huang, Chubby Jun, Qing Ling, and Gao Yang.
When Gao Yang jumped into the beam of light, he immediately felt weightless. Then, a strong yet gentle magnetic field carried him rapidly upwards. In front of his eyes were high-frequency flowing particle energy, and he felt a bit trance-like during the whole process. Soon, he reached the "boundary" of the sky, and then passed through a long underground tunnel, only to see a bright light.
Regaining his senses, Gao Yang found himself back in the courtyard in front of the ancestral hall in Ancient Village. If it weren't for the collapsed ancient well under his feet, he would have doubted that he hadn't moved at all.
Gao Yang automatically detached from the beam of light, and soon, White Rabbit also came out along the beam of light. She operated the rune again, and the beam of light disappeared, closing the passage.
"Welcome back." White Rabbit smiled.

"We were underground all this time?" Officer Huang asked.
"Yes, you can understand it as a sealed space 1,000 meters underground, but it's far from that simple. I'll explain in detail later." White Rabbit put on her mask again. "Are you guys hungry?"
The five of them looked at each other and then said in unison.
"Yes!"
Find the original at ".
"Yes! Let's have barbecue! It's on the company's expense!" White Rabbit happily waved her hand. Suddenly, she remembered something and looked down at her bare feet. "I also need to buy a pair of shoes!"
...
The five of them left Ancient Village, and this time they successfully passed through the small forest without any strange "standpoint domains" blocking them.
On the side of the rural road, Officer Huang's police car was indeed still parked there.
Next to the police car was an orange sports car, with a long and low body, and a slightly longer rear platform. The car's lines perfectly matched aerodynamics, and it looked fashionable and avant-garde.
"McLaren!" Wang Zikai excitedly rushed over. "Wow, I've always wanted one, but my dad thinks it's too expensive and won't buy it for me!"
"Hey, bro knows his stuff." Wu Dahai walked over and casually took out the car key, and with a "beep", the car door opened like a pair of mechanical wings.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Who would have thought that this ordinary Wu Dahai was actually a second-generation rich kid?
Wu Dahai threw a flirtatious look at Qing Ling. "Qing Ling, do you want to ride in my car?"
Qing Ling couldn't be bothered to look at him and bent down to get into the back seat of the police car. Gao Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then followed suit and got in the car."Your name is Chubby Jun, right? You're quite broad, so sit in the passenger seat." White Rabbit said as she also climbed into the back seat of the police car, sandwiching Gao Yang in the middle. Gao Yang sat upright, unsure of where to place his hands.
"Wow, it's my first time in a police car, I'm a bit nervous." White Rabbit was in high spirits, chattering away like a little girl about to go on a picnic.
"Do you want me to put handcuffs on you for a more authentic experience?" Officer Huang joked.
"Yes, let me try." White Rabbit was very excited.
Officer Huang actually threw a pair of handcuffs over: "Here."
White Rabbit caught the handcuffs, immediately cuffed her left hand, then grabbed Gao Yang's right hand and "click", cuffed it as well.
"What are you doing?" Gao Yang was surprised.
White Rabbit waved her small hand, "Don't we look like a couple of bank robbers? The kind that are on the run! No, no, no... murderers! Murderers are more thrilling! I've even thought of the ending. The police car overturns, you die trying to save me from the police, leaving me with a large inheritance. In the future, I can only spend money like water while mourning."
Gao Yang was speechless.
You said Wu Dahai was childish before, but I think you're even more so!
Laughter filled the police car, while the luxury car worth more than 20 million was ignored by everyone except Wang Zikai.
"Bro, can I sit in the passenger seat?" Wang Zikai's eyes were wide open. It was the first time he had seen him speak so humbly to someone. This was the power of money.
"Get in the car." Wu Dahai sighed deeply, shaking his head enviously: "Damn, Gao Yang is the real winner in life."
The police car drove off first.
Wu Dahai started the engine, and Wang Zikai shouted, "Holy shit! This is awesome! A 900 horsepower car is really different! It can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.8 seconds, and it can reach a top speed of 380 kilometers per hour when unlocked! The sound of this engine is so satisfying..."
Wu Dahai couldn't be happy at all: "If you really like it, I'll lend it to you for a year."
"Really?" Happiness came so suddenly that Wang Zikai was moved to tears, "Bro, don't say anything else, from today on, you are my best brother, Gao Yang can only be second!"
"Alright, alright." Wu Dahai waved his hand listlessly while driving, "What's so fun about a car? A life without girls is meaningless."
