Xiao Xiao rode his bicycle to the west where Tianma pointed.
Searching all the way, he believed that they would always be able to find the monster that got them lost again.
...
Even in the summer morning it is already bright.
However, there are not many pedestrians on the street.
At this time, most office workers and students on vacation are still asleep.
There are more elderly people on the street carrying vegetable baskets to buy groceries or doing morning exercises.
…
Xiao Xiao carefully searched the places he passed along the way.
He didn't let go of alleys, alleys, behind big trees, in bushes, even trash cans.
…
The early morning mist has dissipated.
I heard the sound in my ears.
A scorching sun high in the sky is scorching the earth, giving people the illusion that the asphalt road is about to melt.
…
Xiao Xiao stopped by a fountain in a small square.
"Little frog."
He called softly, without asking, but using an imperative sentence, "Go and stay in the water for a while."
…
"Qua-"
The frog god who wanted to refuse fell silent after seeing Xiao Xiao's serious eyes.
There was some unwillingness on his face.
Now is obviously not the time to let it soak in water so easily.
With every minute of delay, it becomes more difficult to find that idiot.
…
"Little frog."
"I don't want you to get down first if you don't find her."
Xiao Xiao looked around, and with quick eyes and hands, he picked up the frog god squatting on the front rail of the bicycle and put it into the water.
"You are no better than before, so you should pay more attention."
If the Frog God was still the popular Frog God with many believers in the past, Xiao Xiao would not have to worry at this time.
But, it's not.
Even the frog god who has shrunk several times in size, and even needs to sleep to reduce the loss of demonic power, still wants to be so "willful".
…
The frog god, who was instantly surrounded by water, blinked blankly.
However, the feeling of comfort all over his body prevented him from deceiving himself.
It was indeed about to be scorched by the hot summer sun.
The skin feels like it's going to be dry and cracked.
Now that it is soaked in water, all the cells in its body are cheering for joy.
It couldn't help but sink a little.
Only half of the eyes are exposed.
…
After a few breaths, the frog god, who had somewhat relieved his urgent need, suppressed the desire in his heart and moved his body to jump out of the water.
But he was easily pushed back into the water with one finger.
Frog God:......
It looked up.
Xiao Xiao looked at it with a smile on his face.
"Little frog, soak for another five minutes."
…
The Frog God and Xiao Xiao looked at each other for a while, then silently sank to the bottom of the water.
A string of bubbles floated up.
…
"Okay, come out."
Before Xiao Xiao's voice fell completely, the frog god had already jumped out of the water.
It did not rush to jump onto Xiao Xiao's bicycle, but first shook its body on the tiles beside the pool. Water droplets splashed around, reflecting the crystal and colorful light in the sun.
Then, the frog god squatted back to its old position - on the front bumper of the bicycle.
…
"let's go."
The wheels turned, and a slight breeze blew over my ears and cheeks.
It is especially comfortable in a sultry environment.
…
However, Xiao Xiao is not afraid of the heat, and now is not a comfortable time.
Did that monster run so far?
He could imagine the pitiful appearance of Lingzi running out of the yard, running out of the alley, and being helpless on the street, frightened by the slightest disturbance.
So, it's really not a good habit to run around when you're scared.
…
Now I don’t know where the monster ran in panic? Where is it hiding?
…
The situation of Qingxing was just as Xiao Xiao thought.
In the middle of the night, a shrill dog bark pierced the silent sky.
He suddenly woke up with a look of fear on his face.
My mind is still in chaos.
Out of conditioned reflex, it just ran away.
…
A beam of light from a car light came over.
By the time Ningxu reacted, it had already landed on the lamp post of the street lamp.
The car quickly disappeared around the corner.
The surrounding area returned to darkness and quiet.
…
Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, Qingxing:...
Where is this place?
Why is it here?
The previous memories automatically flowed through its mind, and Qingxiao understood.
It was so frightened that it ran to a strange place again.
…
It is late at night and there is no one on the street.
He was trying to find his way home.
…
But its sense of direction is really bad.
The further he walked, the more confused he became, and he was always frightened for all kinds of weird and trivial reasons.
Just like that, the night gradually faded away, a hint of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and the quiet streets began to smell of people.
The whole world is slowly waking up.
…
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible to move forward.
After taking a step, I was so frightened that I didn't know where I had deviated from the route.
However, it originally had no route to speak of.
…
Finally, Lingxu hid in a building just like the previous time.
Seeing an open door, it ran inside.
The closed environment around it finally gave it some peace of mind.
…
Xiao Xiao stopped the car under a big tree.
His eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
There was no news from Gu Diao either.
He himself didn't find anything.
Where on earth did Xingxing go?
…
"Quack~"
The frog god drooped his head and looked depressed.
Xiao Xiao was just about to open his mouth to comfort the depressed monster, but the conversation in his ears made him close his mouth.
He followed the sound and looked over, seeing two cleaning ladies.
Someone walked into the building just now, and a few words of their chat floated out in the short time it took for the automatic door to open.
…
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What?"
"There's something wrong with the freight elevator at the back."
"What went wrong? Did you report it to the property management?"
"Of course it reflects."
"Oh, that's not the point. You don't know-"
"I don't know what's going on with that freight elevator? It's always going up and down, as if someone is pressing the floor button."
"But the elevator in the surveillance video is clearly empty."
"Do you think it's scary?"
"Maybe the elevator is broken."
"But if the elevator breaks down, doesn't it usually stop at one position and then the door cannot be opened?"
"How can it go up and down like this?"
"And if there wasn't anyone inside, it would really be like a normal elevator."
"So weird?"
"yes."
"What about the property?"
"They have already called someone to come and repair it."
"Didn't they try to stop the elevator?"
"I'm afraid of damaging the elevator."
"I think it's better to wait until the professional maintenance personnel come."
…
After the two cleaning ladies walked away, Xiao Xiao got up from the sofa on one side.
He had heard something he cared about before, so he parked the car and walked in.
The building is very user-friendly, with sofa seats for people to rest on one side of the hall.
He just sat there and listened to the conversation between the two aunts.
