I am Look, Hakka Man A-Yong and A San, Buasong went to burn the corpses, another Hakka People was curled up on the ground and groaning, Tang Yumo was killed by Fatty and Xiao Ting Left and right sandwiched in the middle, there is no way to make any waves. He winked at Fatty, turned around and walked towards Jack. Unexpectedly, Fatty misunderstood what I meant and followed me here. I had no choice but to turn around and face him: "You stay with SisterTang, and I will have a few words with Jack." Fatty spat. "Are you two fucking Kiming? Why are you winking at me?" It made me angry. If Xiao Ting hadn't been in front of him, I would have sprayed him with shit, no, spit on his face. Confused. Jack was not polite. They had always looked at each other, so he immediately replied after hearing Fatty. "Shi." Fatty After hearing this, he immediately turned around and walked towards Jack, with a tense look on his face. When I saw this situation, I really felt like kicking FatMan. At this point, we are still thinking about internal strife. Although we are not worried about Tang Yumo being able to escape now, the trouble we are facing is not only Tang Yumo and Hakka People, but also the weird creatures in Underground Cavern , and these weird things about Tang Yumo. I put out my arm to stop Fatty. "This is what I thought too, what do you think?" Fatty looked at me with his big eyes for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Sure enough, they are both gay." Watching Fatty turn around and leave, the flesh on my face trembled violently. I don’t know how I walked up to Jack. The moment our eyes met, we actually felt a little unnatural. "Grass" I cursed fiercely. Just for Jack. "What's the matter?" Jack's expression looked like he had eaten a fly. His face turned blue and white. He endured it for a while before he nodded slightly to me. Mouth to me: 'What do you think of Tang Yumo's words? Use embouchure. '
I frowned. To communicate through lip-reading, two people must face each other; while eye contact isn't necessary, they still need to closely observe each other's mouth movements. After being teased by Fatty earlier, I found myself feeling uneasy about this intimate form of communication with Jack. Fortunately, the surrounding firelight was bright enough that we didn't have to lean in too close to see each other's lips clearly. Otherwise, I would have had to balance my irritation with Fatty by cursing him while trying to talk to Jack.
"What can we say? It's all nonsense. We're just struggling to find evidence to refute her lies. But I don't believe they can't get out, and I certainly don't believe they'll stay trapped in the Underground Cavern forever. If we keep following them and controlling them, there will eventually be a way out."
Jack fell silent for a moment.
"I know some of what she said isn't a lie."
"Which parts? It seems you've been hiding a lot from me."
"Aren't you doing the same?"
Seeing Jack's nonchalant and self-righteous expression left me somewhat speechless.
"It's been proven that Awakened Ones have long lifespans."
I tried to steady my emotions; otherwise, I couldn't guarantee the accuracy of my lip movements.
"You guys... do you have Awakened Ones?"
Jack shook his head.
"We don't. An Awakened One appeared in Europe once. They, the Hakka People, aren't a monolith; not all Awakened Ones are willing to become beasts. One Awakened One ended up in Europe and was taken in by an organization; this happened before World War II. We got this information by chance."
"So the Secondary Mutation is real."
"That hasn't been confirmed, but it can't be disproven either."
"Then how do you know that this Awakened One has a long lifespan? Is he still alive? Where is he?"
"He has been in Europe. We don't know anything else."
I fell silent for a moment, organizing my thoughts.
If Jack wasn't lying—and I leaned towards that perspective—there was no reason for him to deceive me or provide false information. It would harm everyone, and he wouldn't be spared either. Therefore, the awakened one he mentioned, who had ended up in Europe, was likely hiding in either the UK or Russia.
After World War II, the European continent lay in ruins, with only the UK and Russia remaining unconquered by the Fascists. If this awakened one could survive in Europe, the chances of them hiding in either England or Russia were the highest. Considering the close and frequent exchanges between Americans and the British, both at governmental and civilian levels, I concluded that this awakened one was in England. Moreover, Jack likely knew more information.
"The lifespan of an awakened one is quite long. What about ordinary Hakka people? Are they significantly different from awakened ones? How do they compare to you and me?"
My question prompted Jack to ponder deeply, as if searching through a database for information he could share with me. This only reinforced my belief that he was still withholding something regarding this issue.
"There isn't much difference between you and me," Jack began to respond more sparingly. He seemed worried about letting something slip that he didn't want me to know.
"Then it seems that the secondary mutation of awakened ones has some credibility. They might really not intend to leave here. I don't recommend we let them lead us around; we should seek another way out."
"I have a suggestion. Let's search for our lost specimen; perhaps there we will find answers."
"You didn't just come up with this idea on a whim; you've been trying to get the specimen from the Valley for a reason, right? Don't you want to tell me now?"
"If we find the specimen, and if things are as we suspect, I think you will understand."
"Is there something wrong with the specimen?"
"Maybe yes, maybe no. We can only make a judgment after seeing it."
I thought for a moment and stared into Jack's eyes. "Your goal is across the dam, isn't it?"
"Compared to our lives, that place is no longer important. However, judging by how fearless the Hakka people seem, we might be in for quite a bit of trouble this time. Uncovering the truth will give us an opportunity to find a way to resolve our issues. Otherwise, we'll just be wandering aimlessly alongside the Hakka people. I believe Tang Yumo wasn't lying when she said those Long-Tailed Monsters won't just give up; they will continue to attack us."
"How will her things become stronger? What does that mean?"
"Do you think I would know? They are already strong enough; whether they become stronger or not doesn't make much difference to us. What I'm worried about is this thing leaving the Underground Cavern."
My eyes suddenly lit up.
"How could they leave? There are only two exits here, one of which is sealed, and the Pit Vortex clearly cannot be used to escape. Is it possible that there is another exit? Otherwise, why would Tang Yumo still be worried about them getting out?"
At this point, I suddenly realized that not only was Tang Yumo concerned, but Jack was also worried about this issue.
A chill ran down my spine. Could it be that I was right, and there was indeed another exit, and Jack knew about it?
In an instant, Jack's recent behavior flashed through my mind, especially his expression when we entered the Underground Cavern. Yes, he had been far too composed this time, more confident than any of us.
