บท 259: I'd Rather Not Sneak Around

(MC POV)

It's been a while since I last had to sneak around like this.

Honestly though, when I followed the tracking inscription I put on that guy, the last thing I expected was to find a giant ruin like this.

Judging by the age on the stone, this place might possibly even predate the forming of the Beiyang country, quite a curious place indeed.

Oh, I knew the Crown Prince placed some kind of tracking talisman on me already. That's why I came here directly on purpose so that he could investigate it and send some people down to take care of this place in case I can't or don't want to.

If I find it too bothersome or whatever, I'll just stick the talisman on some random guy and leave it to them.

Right now I'm just walking through this series of tunnels a good distance away from Death Pass town, the entrance of which was suspiciously left unguarded.

Not sure if that was deliberate on their part or I managed to catch them in between shifts?
