Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Long-Distance Conversation
“Brother, don’t move yet,”
Lin Yi heard him. The man said his leg was injured, and indeed, trying to stand up could be very dangerous for him.
“Alright then,”
He heard the hunter’s voice clearly once again.
In fact, just moving a little was a big challenge for the hunter.
If he wasn’t mistaken, his own thigh likely suffered a fracture or some other kind of injury.
But in this darkness, he couldn’t determine that.
“Big brother, what should we do now?”
“Don’t rush, let me take a good look,”
As he spoke, he crouched down, then put his hand into the mud trap.
And the depth just covered his wrist.
After pulling his hand out of the mire, he inspected it closely, noting it was covered in black mud that must have been accumulating there for a long time.
Even, it smelled somewhat foul.
He pressed firmly and then stood up, stomping his feet twice, but found the ground beneath was very solid.
“Brother, speak to me again,”
He once again spoke into the void.
“Okay, did you hear what I said?”
The voice, as usual, was still crystal clear.
It was as if this person was right in front of him, but he couldn’t see anything before his eyes.
Could this be some kind of spatial voice transmission?
Yet, when he thought about it, that couldn’t be right. If they were truly in different spaces, normally, the voices wouldn’t carry over.
“What’s the situation?”
Just then, he felt Ling’er arriving beside him, and he turned his head to glance at her.
Ling’er untied the rope from her body, then turned to look around.
“Why is everything a mud trap here? And didn’t he say there was a scent of medicinal herbs? But why can’t I smell it?”
“Yes, I felt the same when I first came down.”
“How about now, can you find me?”
The hunter’s voice came over once again, Weiwei helplessly shook his head; so far, he hadn’t found anything.
It seemed that what he needed to do next was to keep searching the surrounding area to see if he could discover anything else.
“Brother, I still haven’t spotted any trace of you, but don’t worry, I reckon there must be another entrance. You must have fallen in through that spot,”
“Oh, okay, I understand. Just be careful, all of you.”
“Who are you talking to?”
Ling’er suddenly turned around and asked Lin Yi.
“I was talking to that hunter. What’s up, didn’t you hear him?”
“What? What hunter? I just saw you here talking to thin air. Hei Lang, did you hear it?”
Upon hearing Ling’er’s words, Hei Lang just silently gazed at him.
Then, he just gently nodded his head.
“You’re not going to tell me that you only heard big brother’s voice and didn’t hear the hunter’s voice at all?”
“I really didn’t hear it. I only heard his voice, not a second person’s. Are you guys joking with me?”
For some reason, when Ling’er said that, she suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
Could it be that she was actually seeing a ghost?
Both men could hear it, but she couldn’t hear anything at all.
If nobody could hear it, then maybe her ears were the problem, but how could she hear one voice and not the other?
“Ling’er, are you sure you didn’t hear anything?”
Lin Yi didn’t think Ling’er was joking with him.
And under these circumstances, who would be in the mood for jokes?
Ling’er didn’t answer; she just shook her head slightly.
“Brother, can you hear me speaking now?”
“Oh, I can hear you, brother, go ahead.”
“Did you hear Ling’er speaking just now?”
“What? Ling’er was speaking? You mean that girl? Did she come down too?”
“What do you mean? You didn’t hear her voice?”
“No, wasn’t that just you speaking with the brother? There wasn’t another person’s voice, was there?”
“Ling’er, speak again.”
“Hey, Hunter Big Brother, can you hear me? Can you hear me speaking? I’ve come down.”
Ling’er continued speaking there.
“Brother, did you hear that?”
“No, I didn’t hear anything. What am I supposed to hear if you just called me?”
“Big brother, this is bizarre, what’s happening?”
Hei Lang and Lin Yi were the clearest about everything that had occurred so far.
But all of this seemed inexplicable.
“I’m not sure either. Right now, they can’t hear each other’s conversations, but they can hear ours. What does that tell us?”
“Big brother, isn’t this like seeing a ghost? Moreover, we can clearly hear both of them, but they can’t hear each other. What does this mean?”
“Don’t worry, let me think, my mind is a mess. So much has happened all at once, I really can’t figure it out.”
Lin Yi said this as he closed his eyes slightly and began pacing back and forth in the mud.
Ling’er was utterly confused and didn’t know what had happened. Coming here, she suddenly felt as if her ears weren’t as reliable as before.
She knew Lin Yi was thinking, but as he did, Ling’er’s ears were constantly alert for any slight sound around them.
She could hear what seemed like the sound of dripping water in the distance that appeared and disappeared intermittently.
“Hei Lang, did you hear that? It seems like there’s the sound of water dripping.”
“Yes, I heard it too when I came down. But if you’re still for a bit, you might not hear it as clearly. You can hear that sound now, but you can’t hear his clear conversation?”
