Downstairs of Jiren Hospital, beside a bench, Casey and Freddie were sitting here.
Freddie told Casey what he knew about Guanling, basically the same as Casey heard from Logan.
Over the years, although Freddie had inquired about many things about Guanling, he had never really been to Guanling. The news he knew about Guanling was sorted out bit by bit from others.
And Freddie had a deep fear of Guanling. The more he investigated Guanling, the more he felt the horror of Guanling. He even suspected that his daughter's car accident was caused by the people of Guanling.
"Last point, I want to know how to enter Guanling," Casey asked while staring at Freddie.
Freddie turned his head and looked at Casey with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "Although I don't know why you want to go to a place like Guanling, I can tell you responsibly that none of those who entered Guanling could come out alive. Don't take any chances to yourself. That will only harm yourself."
A smile appeared on Casey's face and he said, "I've heard these many times. I know what I'm doing. If I really give up because of these rumors, I'm afraid I won't come to you."
Freddie sighed helplessly, and said, "I do know one way to enter Guanling. This is the only clue I have obtained since I searched Guanling for more than 20 years. The others are just rumors. What kind of Guanling really is, you will know only when you go in. None of the people who went in came out, so I guess that many of the rumors about Guanling were made up by people themselves."
"After getting the way to enter Guanling, I used to pay a very high price to commission a person who also has a great interest in Guanling and is willing to go in and take risks. I asked him to bring communication equipment and enter Guanling by the way I got, and try to pass back the information inside."
"There must be many people who want to go in and explore, and then pass the information back. However, the outside world has not received any information about Guanling for so many years, so I am sure that there must be means to interfere with communication equipment in Guanling."
"So I paid a lot of money to ask someone to get a set of communication equipment that can avoid interference. I was silly when I think about it now. The people in Guanling can definitely think of what I can think of. However, for so many years, there is still no news coming out, which only shows that Guanling is not afraid of any anti-interference equipment."
"It may be to replenish new blood. Guanling actually has a lot of strongholds in the outside world. They will have special people to look for targets in the outside world. At the same time, they will accept those who want to enter Guanling. Of course, if you want to enter Guanling, you also need to meet certain conditions. Not everyone can meet the conditions. Those people who want to go to Guanling would be screened according to certain conditions by the staff."
"The people of Guanling will send a group of people into Guanling on the 15th of every month. There will be this opportunity every month. Before that, you must find the staff of Guanling and pass the screening. On the 15th, the staff will gather these people and take them to Guanling together."
"The stronghold I know is in a bar on the outskirts of S City. There is an underground boxing arena and all kinds of people. If you want to find the staff of Guanling, you must have a secret sign with the boxing ring manager."
"The person I worked with went to the bar, and the code was right. Our communication equipment was normal until he found the clerk. However, the staff of Guanling will not disclose any information related to Guanling. From the feedback, I can only infer that he was communicating with people in the ring."
"And he seemed to have passed the screening, but since then, our contact has been broken, and our communication equipment no longer plays any role."
"Later I went to the bar and checked it, but I didn't find any information, and finally I couldn't muster the courage to check the code. For many years after that, I never saw the person who worked with me again."
After listening to Freddie, Casey probably understood the way to enter Guanling. Go to a bar on the outskirts of S, after checking the secret codes and pass the screening, they would be taken to Guanling.
Any communication equipment was useless in Guanling. Once people entered it, it was equivalent to being isolated from the outside world. There was no way for the outside world to know whether it was alive or dead.
So it sounded, Guanling was indeed a very dangerous place.
Just to find his father's whereabouts, Casey would go no matter how dangerous it was.
Guanling may be extremely dangerous for others, but for Casey, he might be able to get out. After all, he also had special features, otherwise he would not have the guts to find a place where there was a one-way ticket to hell.
"Tell me the specific location and secret code of that bar. It's the end of the month, half a month before the 15th. I hope I can catch up," Casey smiled.
