Chapter 67: The Mysterious Cave

  At a distance of three or four meters, Andrew couldn't see clearly who was on the tree.

  "Yes, I'm fine." Andrew wiped away his tears and replied with a sob.

  Just then, someone else came walking over from the other side of the lawn.

  "Andrew? Andrew, Andrew, the one with the camera." The man shouted as he walked, gradually approaching Andrew.

  Lin Xiao was watching from the tree as the person walked by, her heart secretly thrilled.

  The newcomer was Steve, the black kid who had wanted to borrow Andrew's camera and finally invited Andrew to go with him.

  "May... may we borrow it?" Steve walked closer, his sharp eyes caught Andrew's red eyes, and his words paused.

  "What?" Andrew looked up at him in puzzlement.

  "We've found something really cool, we have to record it!" Steve said with a bright smile on his face, revealing his two rows of neat white teeth.

  Andrew heard this and sobbed a few times, saying: "This...this isn't..."

  Everyone knows that when people cry, they tend to choke up while speaking, and Andrew is like that now.

  Steve looked at him and asked with concern: "Buddy, are you okay?"

  Andrew choked back his words, as if they were stuck in his throat.

  "Are you okay?" Steve looked at him with a worried face and immediately squatted down in front of him.

  "Yes, I am Andrew." Andrew finally calmed himself down and spoke up.

  Seeing Andrew seemed okay, Steve couldn't help but smile and extend his hand, saying: "I'm Steve, Steve Montagomez."

  Andrew looked at him and nodded, saying, "Yes, I know."

  He didn't extend his hand for a handshake with Steve, his self-enclosed personality made him dislike doing so.

  Steve was indeed a young man who intended to enter politics, and even if Andrew didn't shake hands with him, there wasn't any unpleasant expression on his face, instead he smiled and nodded.

  "Really?"

  Lin Xiao was watching from the tree and couldn't help but laugh as he jumped down from the branch.

  "Hey! Are you Steve?" Lin Xiao walked up and said with a smile.

  Just as Steve was about to bring up Andrew's cousin Matt, he looked up and stood up with a smile, extending his hand, saying: "Yes, Steve Montemayor, you're a friend of Andrew's?"

  Lin Xiao smiled and shook hands with Steve, shaking his head and saying: "Lin Xiao, I just happened to be here."

  Loosening his grip, Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at Andrew sitting on the ground, smiling: "You're Andrew?"

  Andrew only then realized that the person in front of him was actually the one who had hit him at the party, and he nodded nervously.

  "Yes, I am Andrew."

  "I've been noticing you for a long time, throughout the party, it's just you and that girl walking around with cameras. What's wrong?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

  "It's nothing, I'm fine." Andrew shook his head and stood up from the ground.

  Steve, who was standing by, suddenly remembered his purpose and blurted out to Andrew: "Matt and I were just messing around... we found this really cool thing."

  Andrew hadn't been paying attention until he heard Matt's name and looked at Steve saying, "Wait, you're with Matt?"

  Steve chuckled and nodded, continuing: "You'd think it would be fun to record it."

  "No, I just...I really don't want to..." Andrew stammered, trying to decline.

  But Steve just laughed and said, "Dude, come on! Let's record it, it's cool!"

  "I'm not sure." Andrew's face also showed a hint of hesitation, unsure whether he should agree or not.

  "Believe me!" Steve flashed that infectious smile at Andrew again.

  Andrew hesitated, and then Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up beside him: "Hey Steve, can I go take a look at that really cool thing with you?"

  "Of course, of course!" Steve laughed and nodded directly.

  "Andrew, go! It will be fun!" Lin Xiao urged Andrew.

  Andrew thought for a moment and then nodded his head.

  "Alright."

  Steve smiled and winked at Lin Xiao.

  Andrew picked up his camera and followed Steve into the forest.

  "You also know there's a bunch of girls here, right? But you're standing alone by that tree?" Steve said with a smile as he walked.

  "I'm very picky." Andrei forced a faint smile on his face, Steve's words had struck a sore spot, he thought, how could girls possibly like someone like him?

  Three people walked into the woods, Lin Xiao occasionally chatting with Steve for a few sentences, and sometimes asking Andrew a few questions about their school, Andrew's answers were always vague.

  After walking for a while, everything around him was pitch black, and Andrew felt a little scared.

  "Listen, I really don't want to..."

  But before he could finish speaking, Steve turned around and asked him, "Does that thing have lights on it?"

  Andrew had just said half a sentence when he replied and found the light switch.

  "Some, in this."

  With a "click", a beam of light from Andrew's camera shone onto the ground.

  "It's much brighter now." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

  After walking for about ten minutes, the three finally arrived at their destination. Here was a small steep slope, and they were on top of it. From this position, looking down, Andrew's cousin Matt could be seen holding his phone, shining its light onto the entrance of a hole in the ground.

  "Garrett!" Steve shouted loudly.

  However, among the people below, there was only one Matt, and some Garetti had already run away.

  After the three of them came down, Steve introduced Lin Xiao to Matt, and then the two of them were extremely excited to lie at the entrance of the cave, as if waiting for something, and even pulled Andrew forward, but Andrew was scared to death. In the end, it was Steve who ran over and pulled him over, allowing him to approach the entrance of the cave.

  Lin Xiao had been extremely excited since he arrived here, and he lay at the entrance of the cave with Steve and Matt.

  At this moment, a dull sound suddenly came from the bottom of the cave, like a shockwave, bringing a ringing sensation to everyone's ears.

  "Wait a minute, this is too weird!" Steve said with a laugh, grabbing Matt.

  "It's quite strange." Lin Xiao leaned in again, lying at the entrance of the cave and looking inside.

  He knew that under this cave was a mysterious substance that could give people the power of mind, what it was specifically he didn't know, in short, it was very mysterious.

  "Can you hear this voice?" Matt raised his head and asked Andrew.

  Andrew stood at the entrance of the cave with his camera, looking frightened. After hearing Matt's question, he replied, "I don't know, I guess so, it was really loud." ...
