Maria’s words prompted Charlie to ponder the possibility of Morvel Bazin’s existence more seriously than ever before. Initially, this question had seemed somewhat ludicrous.

The ‘Apocalyptic Book’ offered no accounts of anyone living for over a thousand years, making this a blind spot in Charlie’s knowledge. Even the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ lacked any mention of the Eternal Green Pill.

Maria herself represented another gap in Charlie’s understanding, let alone Morvel Bazin. Though direct evidence regarding Morvel Bazin’s current status was lacking, Charlie couldn’t afford to take this matter lightly. Caution was paramount. He turned to Maria and said, “I wholeheartedly concur with your perspective. Since we’re already here, there’s no reason to turn back now. Why not proceed as you suggest and investigate together?”

Maria knew Charlie wouldn’t easily give up, and the fact that he was willing to take her along was already a significant concession. She nodded without hesitation. “Agreed! You have my full support.”

Charlie nodded in acknowledgment and then sighed softly. “Given our circumstances, descending from this point isn’t practical for the two of us. Let’s turn back and venture into the mountains in the opposite direction from the town where Morgana appeared.”

“Very well,” Maria obediently agreed. “I’m at your disposal in all matters.”

With a consensus reached, Charlie wasted no time. He swiftly exited at the next ramp after the spot where Morgana had descended, continued forward for dozens of kilometers and disembarked from the highway at the town where Morgana had left.

According to the map, this town had only one rugged mountain road leading to the outside world in addition to the expressway. The beginning of this mountain road was near a mountain named Chiandao

Mountain. It extended further to connect with the entrance and exit of the highway. If one didn’t access the expressway here, they could continue driving ahead to reach a national road.

Morgana appeared on the road between the starting point of Shiwan Mountain and the midpoint of the town.

Jagoan drove to the location where Morgana had last been seen and decided to hike into the mountains from there, following the general direction of Morgana’s abandoned car, in hopes of discovering any clues she might have left behind.
