Lin Xin lay on one side, asleep by the fire like everyone else around him, except he could hear people whispering furtively.
He didn't know the identities of these individuals, but from their conversation, it sounded like they had other plans and weren't truly part of the group heading to the Underworld.
From their words, it seemed they intended to leave the group now, and before doing so, they planned to sabotage the team leader.
And the target appeared to be that kind girl, Ma Qiuqiu; it sounded like they planned to lay hands on her.
Lin Xin turned over and heard several people quietly get up and walk out of the mushroom tree house into the open. Soon, there were faint sounds of footsteps crunching in the snow outside.
He got up, thought for a moment, and decided to follow them.
In the middle of the night, once outside the small house, the wind and snow swirled around, blanketing everything in white.
