Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

They came to Allen's residence, explained the situation to him, and asked him for help. After listening, Allen frowned and seemed a little hesitant.

"This is not an easy task," Allen said. "It may take some effort to find Amos."

"But we have no other choice." Han Xiaodong said, "We must find the 'lost object'."

After a moment, Allen nodded. "Okay, I'll do my best to help you," he promised, "but you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Han Xiaodong and Leon asked in unison.

"I need you to pay me." Alan said bluntly, "After all, I have to eat."

Han Xiaodong and Leon looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Alan was not a selfless person, but they reluctantly accepted his conditions.

"Okay, we promise you." Han Xiaodong said solemnly, "As long as you can help us find Amos, we will definitely give you a reasonable reward."

"It's settled then." Alan smiled, "I'll find a way to find Amos."

So, they agreed on a plan of action. Allen told them that Amos usually traded in some secret places, and his whereabouts were secretive, making it difficult to track his specific location.

"We have to start from some secret passages in the market." Allen suggested, "Those passages are some of the underground world's communication channels, and maybe we can get some useful clues."

Han Xiaodong and Leon nodded. They knew that this would be a risky operation, but they were ready.

They immediately left Allen's residence and headed for a secret passage near the market. This was a forgotten underground world filled with various characters and forces, and ordinary people rarely came here.

They walked through the narrow passages, feeling the gloom and mystery of the underground world. Occasionally, faint noises and whispers came from the shadows, which made people shudder.

Finally, they came to the end of the passage, in front of a dilapidated door. Alan motioned for them to wait for a moment, and then he carefully pushed the door open.

Behind the door was a dark passage with dim lighting, and only a weak light barely illuminated the road ahead. Allen led Han Xiaodong and Leon through the passage quietly, always on guard.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound at the end of the passage, as if someone was talking. Alan stopped and motioned for them to squat and hide.

They crouched in the shadows and peeked at the end of the passage. They saw several figures talking, and one of them had a familiar voice.

"Amos's trading point is nearby." A deep voice came, "We have to be careful not to alarm him."

"Yeah, I heard Amos is not someone you can easily mess with," another person said warily.

Han Xiaodong and Leon's hearts moved, they knew that this time they were one step closer to their goal. They quietly walked out of the shadows and approached the end of the passage stealthily.

Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded in the passage: "Who's there?"

Han Xiaodong and Leon were shocked, they were discovered!

They immediately hid in the shadows, and Alan nervously pulled them, signaling them to wait quietly.

Several people came over, searching the passage with flashlights. Their footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Han Xiaodong and Leon felt a little nervous.

Just as they were about to get closer, suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the passage.

"Run!" Allen shouted loudly, then pulled Han Xiaodong and Leon and ran quickly to the other side of the passage.

They ran through the passage, the sound of pursuers coming from behind them. Alan led them expertly through a series of side passages and tunnels, trying to throw off the pursuers.

A sudden chase left them with lingering fears, but they knew that this was only a small part of the challenge in their search for the "lost things". They needed to move on, find Amos, and get more clues about the antiques.

"It's not safe here, we have to leave as soon as possible." Alan warned, looking around vigilantly.

Han Xiaodong and Leon nodded, and they followed Alan and stepped back into the passage. At this time, their steps were more cautious, always ready to face possible dangers.

Alan led them through a series of complex passages, sometimes even requiring them to crawl through some narrow passages. Their clothes were covered in dust from the walls, but they did not stop because they knew that greater challenges were ahead.

Finally, they came to the end of the passage, and a dilapidated iron door appeared in front of them. The iron door was rusty and looked like it had not been opened for a long time.

"This is Amos's trading point," Allen said. "We must be careful not to alarm him."

They carefully checked the surroundings and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. Alan carefully opened the iron door. The iron door made a dull sound, as if reminding them that everything ahead was full of unknowns.

After the iron door opened, they entered a dim room filled with all kinds of strange objects, with paintings and tapestries hanging on the walls and thick carpets on the floor.

In the center of the room, a figure sat behind a long table, holding an ancient document in his hand, seemingly busy with something.

"That's Amos," Alan reminded quietly.

Han Xiaodong and Leon felt a tightness in their hearts, they knew that their target was right in front of them.

"What are you doing here?" Amos raised his head and glanced at them with sharp eyes.

"We're here to see you." Han Xiaodong stepped forward. "We have something we want to discuss with you."

Amos frowned, seeming displeased by their arrival. "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If there is nothing else, you'd better leave."

"Please listen to us." Leon also spoke up, "We are here to inquire about the 'lost things'."

When Amos heard the name, something strange flashed in his eyes. "How did you know about this?" he asked.

Han Xiaodong and Leon looked at each other, and then Han Xiaodong said: “We heard that you have some antiques in your hands, and we hope to get some clues.”

Amos was silent for a moment, as if he was considering whether to tell them some information. Finally, he sighed and said, "The Lost Thing is indeed a very valuable antique, but I don't have it."
