The sudden question caught Lin Xiaoxiao off guard.
Thinking that there might be other reasons, she was confused by Qianye's words about whether he believed there were ghosts...
"Huh? What?"
Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously wondered.
Just when Qianye wanted to continue explaining, he suddenly caught some strange sound, and finally swallowed the words as they reached his lips.
[Don’t talk yet, listen to see if there are other sounds around you.]
Get a reminder.
Lin Xiaoxiao also shut up.
According to Qianye's wishes, he focused on his ears.
Very slightly...
If it weren't for this extremely quiet situation, coupled with the fact that the field of vision was slightly obstructed and the hearing was amplified, it might not have been discovered.
It's footsteps...
Although it is not obvious, it is gradually becoming clear.
This means that the person is approaching in your direction...
Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was suddenly tugged, and her head went blank. She didn't know how to explain why she came to this place if she was discovered.
Climb over the barbed wire fence and open other people's windows.
He looks like a thief no matter how he looks!
[Turn off the flashlight, hide behind the left wall behind you, and don’t make any noise.]
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned.
A rather helpless Qianye reminded him again.
After hearing what Qianye said, the former reacted belatedly, hurriedly turned off the flashlight, and then groped to the place indicated by Qianye...
Fortunately.
Although this alley is narrow, it is still clean. There are no plastic bags or mineral water bottles on the ground, which are prone to making strange noises.
Otherwise, Lin Xiaoxiao might be clumsy and might cause some trouble...
After hiding.
Lin Xiaoxiao instinctively buried her head between her arms, shrinking like a hedgehog, praying that she would not be discovered by the management here.
Regarding this.
Unable to observe the surroundings normally, Qianye asked him to raise his head, forcing Lin Xiaoxiao to open his eyes so that he could see who was approaching...
The person making the footsteps should be a male.
Moso made a slight movement.
Probably the other party also sensed that there was someone in this place and was trying his best to control his strength and approach this place.
manager?
Or something else?
Qianye didn't know.
After all, even if it is weird or something, the whereabouts and movements may be close to people...
Not long.
A black shadow slowly appeared in Lin Xiaoxiao's sight.
Qianye understood very well that when he could see the black shadow, then the black shadow could also see him.
So he deliberately asked Lin Xiaoxiao to choose the darkest position in the environment, so that the opponent's line of sight could be obstructed by the environment...
"I didn't have a flashlight, so I just walked here in the dark."
"Either he is very familiar with this place, or he is not a normal person..."
Qian Ye thought secretly.
If the other party belongs to the latter identity.
Then he and Lin Xiaoxiao are not very safe now...
After coming out of the invitation world and entering Lin Xiaoxiao's body, Qianye's abilities gained from becoming a monster were suppressed a lot.
Him now.
There is no guarantee that this ability can ensure the safety of himself and Lin Xiaoxiao...
"After we finish this matter, we have to ask Lin Xiaoxiao to go home and get the source of the curse."
"It's still a bit risky just by yourself..."
Make up your mind about what to do next.
Qianye is also preparing to mobilize his abilities at all times...
The black shadow felt very familiar to him, as if he had seen it before, but because Lin Xiaoxiao could not see the face clearly with his naked eyes, Qianye could not determine the identity of the other person.
Compared to Chino.
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed much more nervous.
If Qianye hadn't been with her in her body, Lin Xiaoxiao might have been unable to bear the mental depression and ran away...
She was told to open her eyes.
As he watched the black shadow getting closer and closer to him, his throat almost jumped out of his chest.
"anyone there?"
Unexpected.
The black shadow shouted.
He sounded like a young man, which made Qian Zhi's feeling of familiarity more and more serious, and his suspicion that the other party was weird allayed.
"Strange, I heard it here just now..."
The black shadow muttered to himself.
It seemed like he was talking to himself, but also like he was talking to Lin Xiaoxiao who was hiding in the corner.
The other party must have seen the windows pushed open by Lin Xiaoxiao. He moved slowly towards the windows.
During this period, the shortest distance between the black shadow and Lin Xiaoxiao was just one turn.
Even if you turn around, you may find Lin Xiaoxiao hiding behind the corner, and then the two will meet.
But the development of the plot is very dramatic...
Just like the old-fashioned romantic dramas of the past, the male and female protagonists can see each other with just one action, but they refuse to take that step even to the death.
Lin Xiaoxiao was on tenterhooks.
The dark shadow gradually left her side again...
"It is true that someone has been here. Could it be that he went to the other side..."
The black shadow paused in place as if thinking, then walked towards the other side of the alley after some hesitation.
Min'an Road is not a simple straight alley.
There are also many separate small forks in it that can lead to other places...
The obtrusive thing like eyes finally disappeared from my sight.
Only then did Lin Xiaoxiao dare to exhale loudly, trying to calm down his heart that had been pinched just now.
[It’s okay, you don’t have to be like this, you’ll get better once you get used to it. 】
Qianye said trying to comfort him.
But these words were particularly harsh to Lin Xiaoxiao's ears.
"familiar?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Is it possible...that I will have to do this kind of thing more often in the future?!"
Lin Xiaoxiao did not say these words, but kept doubting herself and what Qianye said in her heart.
Her steps became stiff.
When I think that I, an innocent little girl, will have to be coerced by Qianye to do such sneaky things as today, I feel gloomy about my future life.
【Don’t be stunned and follow.】
"Follow me?"
[That’s the guy who went out just now. He is the only person we see here. He may have some secrets hidden in him, and maybe he can get something else. 】
Qianye explained seriously.
But this sounded like a bolt from the blue to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Are you kidding me?
I was so nervous just now that I didn't even dare to express my anger because I was afraid of being discovered by the other party. Wouldn't I just be seeking death if I followed him now?
Lin Xiaoxiao still wanted to refute and discuss.
But the next second she heard Qianye's unpleasant threat, and she could only bite the bullet and obey...
...
The opponent's walking speed is not very fast.
After Lin Xiaoxiao touched it, it took less than two minutes to see the guy's back...
She gritted her teeth and paid great attention to her footing, fearing that she would step on something strange and make a sound.
Qianye still appreciates this aspect of Lin Xiaoxiao.
Although people are stupid, they are not too careless when doing these things. Careful girls are really cute...
And the facts prove it.
It was the right choice to follow up.
Lin Xiaoxiao maintained a certain distance behind the black shadow, which allowed him to see the opponent's movements and at the same time increased his safety factor...
It didn't take long.
Qianye and Lin Xiaoxiao discovered something was wrong with this black shadow.
Although the other party seemed to be looking for something here, after walking a short distance, he would take out some strange powder from his pocket and sprinkle it on the ground, as if making a mark.
Qianye had not discovered this before.
Maybe it's because when they first met, Chino's mind was focused on the other person's appearance...
Ask Lin Xiaoxiao to squat down and touch a handful of powder on the ground.
Then hold it in front of your eyes and observe.
The powder was white, a bit like chalk being ground up. Lin Xiaoxiao touched it casually, and his fingers were stained, and he couldn't get it clean even by wiping his clothes...
The taste is a bit strange in comparison.
If you simply smell it, there are some flavors that seem to be some kind of condiment put into the food.
But after smelling it carefully, you can notice that behind the fragrance, there is also a harsh smell of burnt ash...
"What the hell is this?"
Qianye said that he had never seen it.
He had never heard of any powder that looked like this.
Lin Xiaoxiao followed him all the way, and the black shadow didn't do anything out of the ordinary other than spreading such nonsense.
Until we came to another blocked barbed wire fence...
In Lin Xiaoxiao's surprised eyes.
The black figure climbed over the barbed wire fence with great agility, patted the dust on his hands, then turned around and left at the corner of the alley.
"this......"
"He also sneaked in?"
Lin Xiaoxiao did not expect this.
She originally thought the black shadow was a manager or something.
As a result, I never thought that the other party, like me, would enter Min'an Road without being allowed...
Otherwise, when will it be our turn to climb over the barbed wire fence?
And just when the shadow left the alley, the dim yellow streetlight on the street shone on the other person's face.
Even if it was only for a moment, Lin Xiaoxiao and Qianye could still clearly see who that person was...
"Jiang Liang?"
"What is he doing here?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned again.
She experienced too many firsts in her life today. While her world view was constantly being refreshed, the appearance of Jiang Liang also made her brain complicated.
A sunny and handsome boy.
Regardless of behavior or other aspects, it can get almost full marks...
Just after he transferred to another school, he was favored by many girls, and he seemed particularly gentle when chatting with him.
But how could such a person come to Min'an Road in the middle of the night?
"Is it possible...Jiang Liang also feels that Min'an Road is not as simple as the news says, and he has relatives or friends who happen to live here..."
"He came in out of worry?"
Lin Xiaoxiao found countless reasons for Jiang Liang in her heart.
But when applied to the other party, these reasons seem illogical and extremely forced.
[Okay, don’t think too much, your classmate is not simple to begin with. 】
[If you have this little time, think about how you would get out of this damn place without a trash can...]
Qianye's voice rang in Lin Xiaoxiao's ears.
This brought her out of her trance.
"What's not simple..."
"Isn't it your fault that you can't get out?"
"If you didn't ask me to come to this place, why would I want to think about this kind of thing?"
Inadvertently, Lin Xiaoxiao said what was on his mind.
By the time she realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, it was obviously much too late.
What should be heard and what should not be heard.
Qianye has heard everything...
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered his head, fearing that Qianye would be angry with him and do something terrible, so he dared not say a word.
But what she didn't expect was.
Chino doesn't seem to care...
In his complaint, the other party seemed to be just thinking about Min'an Road.
Sighing, Lin Xiaoxiao had to think about how she could climb over the barbed wire fence that was almost twice as tall as her without using a trash can.
"Something is wrong."
"Assuming that someone really wants to hide what happened on Min'an Road, then there shouldn't be just such a simple barbed wire fence..."
While Lin Xiaoxiao was trying various ways to get out and go home, Qianye briefly reviewed tonight's actions.
"Before, it was because of Lin Xiaoxiao's height and physical fitness that I had some misconceptions about the protection here."
"But the way Jiang Liang turned around just now..."
"Any healthy and normal male can easily climb over a barbed wire fence of this height and without anything else added to it."
"Even if it is a little shorter, it will only take a little effort at most..."
I kept thinking back to Jiang Liang's ease and ease just now.
There were many other thoughts in Qianye's mind.
With the help of Lin Xiaoxiao's peripheral vision, he carefully observed the edge of the barbed wire fence, hoping to find the result of his guess...
"No, it can't be done."
"I can't get over it at all..."
Panting, Lin Xiaoxiao fell from the barbed wire fence again.
Due to the limitations of height and weight, she had no way to climb up like this without the help of external force.
Besides, he is usually just an obedient student.
I have never tried anything like this, let alone any other experience...
There was a pause.
Qianye turned his attention to the lower right corner of the barbed wire fence and tried to tell Lin Xiaoxiao another method.
[Go and look at the location on the right...]
【Yes, it’s right here.】
[Squat down, grab the grid, and try to pull it with all your strength.]
[If it doesn’t work, you can push it...]
bump!
Lin Xiaoxiao did it according to Qianye's way.
Although she didn't understand what the purpose of this was, when she pushed the barbed wire fence hard, a hole suddenly broke in the originally wrapped mesh, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.
Looking back, the pushed-out grid looked like a dog cave door.
The edges seem to be stuck with glue, and there is an inexplicable plastic feel after being pushed away.
Of course, he looks a bit embarrassed...
Lin Xiaoxiao still managed to get out with the help of this "dog hole".
"Why is this happening here?"
"Is it because someone sawed it open a long time ago and then glued it back on again?"
She looked at the "dog hole" she had dug out, and was very puzzled.
【There is a high probability that it is not.】
[Possibly, this was originally a door reserved for people.]
Qianye said slowly.
The function of these barbed wire fences was exactly what he thought, it was just a formal process.
Otherwise, with this kind of layout, without anyone watching, you can basically go in and out whenever you want...
"What exactly is going on?"
Came here for a visit.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't understand anything, but had a lot of doubts.
It made her feel like a clown.
Qianye didn't explain much at this time, but just replied lightly...
[I think it’s better for you to go home first. If you arrive later—you might be discovered sneaking out.]
