Chapter 944 -594: The True Identity of the Strange Footsteps_1
Upon hearing the familiar rustling sound again, Leo Ray was startled and immediately commanded his subordinates to quietly position themselves along the right wall of the tunnel, listening attentively.
By carefully comparing the previous and current sounds, Leo Ray discovered.
Based on both the frequency of footfall and the messy multiple footsteps, he could confirm that these footsteps were identical to the ones that had just moved away.
This point was also confirmed by the gazes from Serena and Stella.
As assassins, Serena and Stella had undergone extremely rigorous training in hearing, making it virtually impossible for them to make a mistake.
Moreover, from the looks of Taylor and the others, Leo Ray learned.
There was also no success in detecting energy fluctuations, breath, or smell from the second set of footsteps.
Thus, an incredible answer emerged.
These two sets of footsteps, one after the other, were indeed from the same group of people.
“Well, they’ve appeared again? However, since entering this tunnel, it has always been a straight path extending deep underground, with no forks or even bends.”
At this point, a look of confusion arose on Leo Ray’s face: “If that’s the case, then why would the sound that had already moved away from me appear again from the front?”
Thinking about it, Leo Ray furrowed his brow slightly.
If the sudden first set of footsteps was like a pebble striking the water, causing ripples in his mind.
Then the second bizarre set of footsteps was like the arrival of a tidal wave, causing one layer of waves to crash over another in his mind.
At this moment, it wasn’t just the strange footsteps that bothered Leo Ray.
Even this tunnel, which quietly extended underground bathed in a creepy green light, had become increasingly unusual.
“It seems that my team has encountered some sort of trouble.”
Furrowing his brow further, Leo Ray focused his attention on the increasingly approaching footsteps.
Holding his breath and listening intently.
Clatter, clatter, clatter…
Accompanied by deliberately lowered and slightly chaotic multiple footsteps, they drew nearer and nearer.
Finally, just as the strange footsteps on the left side of the passage were almost parallel to Leo Ray and his team on the right, a change occurred.
This time, the invisible opponents didn’t simply brush past like the first time.
Instead, the sound suddenly ceased, causing the entire tunnel to become silent in an instant.
For a moment, the enormous cavern echoed only with the dripping sound of water seeping from the damp walls, occasionally falling into the surroundings.
“Did the other party stop?”
Under the dim green light of the damp walls, Leo Ray couldn’t help but feel a bit startled, thinking to himself: “Could it be that they’ve detected our presence?”
Thinking this, Leo Ray’s expression grew serious and his body slightly bent, readying a battle stance.
The various subordinates around him were also ready to strike at any moment, prepared to launch an attack.
Although doing so might reveal their location and cause their plan to find Benson to fail, it was better to strike first than to be struck passively.
However, just when everyone was itching for a fight and ready to confront the mysterious invisible enemies nearby,
Leo Ray suddenly stretched out his right hand in front of his chest, pressing his left fingertip against the center of his right palm, making a stop gesture.
Having quickly recovered from his initial shock, Leo Ray realized something.
If the other party didn’t notice them the first time, then it is highly possible they were still unaware of his team’s presence during the second encounter.
So, the reason the other party stopped was not because they discovered his team’s whereabouts.
“If they haven’t discovered us, then why would they suddenly stop? It’s truly baffling.”

“What’s even more puzzling is how in this straightforward tunnel, where it’s impossible to take a detour, the other party had already brushed past us once while we were moving forward, and yet they managed to do it again?!”
Under the dim green light cast by the damp walls, Leo Ray felt his mind fill with questions, his eyebrows twisted into knots.
Amidst this eerie and quiet semi-closed environment, he could even clearly hear the thumping of his heart beating within his chest.
Just as Leo Ray calmed his emotions and tried to relax himself,
Directly in front of him, the rustling footsteps sounded once more on the left side of the spacious tunnel.
Clatter, clatter, clatter…
They then continued in the opposite direction, eventually receding behind Leo Ray and his team.
Not until the sound had completely disappeared did Leo Ray take a deep breath involuntarily.
It had to be said that everything here was becoming eerier and more baffling.
“All in all, there are currently two main issues in front of me.”
“First, the true identity of the bizarre invisible footsteps; second, the reason for the invisible footsteps’s second appearance in front of us.”
Thinking about this, Leo Ray hesitated briefly before deciding to continue forward.
“I refuse to believe that those strange footsteps, which have already brushed past me twice, will reappear in front of me again.”
