"Walk."

The two led the people out of the basement and all the way back to the surface.

After arriving on the ground, the two went straight to the village chief's residence.

At the door of the village chief's residence, Ma Sha stopped.

He turned to Bruning and said: "There may be danger in the house, we'd better be prepared."

"What are you going to do?"

Bruning asked.

Ma Sha thought for a moment and said, "You guys wait outside, I'll open the door."

After all, he is a villager, and when faced with the relics of his ancestors, he is much stronger than outsiders like Bruning.

Another point is that the people in their village are all recognized by their ancestors, unlike outsiders like Bruning.

Therefore, it would be more reliable for him to open the door than for Bruning and others to follow directly.

"good."

Bruning nodded without objection.

Afterwards, he took the members of the special operations team and waited at the spot, while Ma Sha walked forward cautiously.

Everyone is on high alert.

Not long after, Martha arrived at the door of the house.

When he gently grasped the door handle, Bruning and others were immediately on high alert.

Then, under their vigilant gazes, Masha grabbed the door handle and slowly opened the door to the village chief's residence.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on the crack in the door, motionless.

Everything goes well from now on.

Martha opened the door as wide as possible without any obstruction.

In the distance, Bruning and others also saw anything strange.

In an instant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Masha didn't say much, turned around and entered the village chief's house.

After entering, he first looked around, then turned around and said to Bruning and others: "It's okay, come in."

Bruning led people into the village chief's house.

After everyone stood still in the room, they carefully observed the situation in the room.

After looking around, Bruning didn't see anything strange.

But Masha suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Bruning observed this and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The relics of our ancestors are missing."

Ma Sha said with dull eyes.

"Ancestral relics?"

Bruning said doubtfully.

"Yes." Ma Sha nodded slightly, "The ancestors once left a painting in our village. It was the relic left by the ancestors. It was originally blamed on the wall of this room, but now..."

Ma Sha pointed to the bare wall as he spoke, "There's nothing on it."

Bruning and others all looked in the direction of Martha's finger.

Sure enough, there was nothing on that wall.

On the bare wall, there was nothing except the outline of a painting.

And from the outline of the painting, we can see that the painting Martha mentioned must have been hanging here for a long, long time.

Long enough to leave a mark.

It can be clearly seen that the wall where the painting was hung is obviously cleaner than the surroundings.

"Where will he go? Have he been taken away by the village chief and others?"

Bruning asked.

Ma Sha shook his head and said: "I don't know, but generally speaking, it is impossible for the village chief to take it off the wall."

"You mean, the village chief won't take the paintings out of the village?"

Bruning asked.

"Yes." Martha said with certainty.

"Who could that be?"

Bruning frowned in thought.

Ma Sha guessed: "I'm wondering if it could be that guy."

"Oh?" Bruning turned to look at Martha.

"But I'm not sure, after all, it's unlikely."

There was obvious uncertainty in Masha's tone.

"Why do you say that?"

Bruning asked.

"Because only the village chief can control the ancestral relics, and no one else can. If that guy can rob the ancestral relics, then he should be much stronger than me now, but..."

After listening to Martha's words, Bruning understood.

That means the He Zhou clone is incapable of snatching away the painting.

The only person who can take away the painting is the village chief.

Of course this is just speculation based on all known information.

If there are differences in the middle situation, then this conjecture may not be true.

For example, the Hezhou clone is indeed much stronger than everyone imagined.

"But I think the biggest suspect is that guy. The village chief probably won't take the painting out of the village."

Ma Sha said after thinking for a while.

Bruning said: "In short, this painting is not here now, there is no need for us to waste time here."

Ma Sha nodded and said, "Let's go back first."

Bruning heard the words and looked at the time.

Now another hour has passed since we were in the basement just now.

It will take nearly three hours to go back.

So now it's time to go back.

"Let's go."

Bruning turned and left.

A group of people followed him out of the door.

Everyone quickly arrived at the place where the speed car was parked and got on the speed car one by one.

Then the flying car slowly took off and flew all the way towards the military base northwest of Paradise City.

Martha and Bruning didn't speak to each other all the way until the plane landed.

But as soon as the flying car landed, Bruning went to make arrangements to contact the president of Shilong Company.

It wasn't until the morning that there was a response from Shilong Company.

Bruning sent someone to call Martha into the conference room.

"I'll talk to that guy later."

Bruning said to Martha.

Ma Sha asked: "What is his relationship with Shilong Company?"

"I don't know yet."

Bruning was actually not sure what the relationship was between Hezhou's clone and Shilong Company's Tian Benxiong.

However, judging from the last time Tian Benxiong refused to tell the whereabouts of He Zhou's clone, the relationship between the two should be unusual.

At this time, a staff member came to Bruning and said: "Commander, the communication equipment is ready and can communicate at any time."

"Okay, let's get through now."
