Grandpa made a plate of dumplings with his own hands and carefully prepared four main dishes. Lin Ze also cooked a sweet and sour yellow croaker, but his skills were average. In the end, all the dishes on the table were eaten, leaving only this dish.
Remaining.
After that, Lin Ze watched the Spring Festival Gala with his grandfather all night, and made a video call with his parents who were far away abroad to say New Year greetings. He waited until after eleven o'clock, then excused himself to go to bed early and returned to his bedroom.
After closing the door, Lin Ze locked it, then went to the window and pushed it open. After taking a look, he found that no one was passing below, then he easily climbed over the edge of the window and climbed down the pipe.
Lin Ze's bedroom was located on the seventh floor, more than 20 meters above the ground, but this was not a problem for him. It only took less than ten seconds for Lin Ze to stand on the ground smoothly.
There were almost no people hanging around outside on New Year's Eve, so Lin Ze quietly walked around to the back of Building 7 and climbed up the pipe again.
When passing 305, he happened to see Ren Wan through the window, wearing a cutie and hot pants, lying on the bed with her back to him, seemingly playing with her mobile phone.
The next second, Lin Ze felt the phone in his pocket vibrate suddenly.
He glanced down and saw the message prompt on the phone interface through the gap in his pocket, but it was a WeChat message sent by Ren Wan.
"Happy New Year"
After a slight pause, Lin Ze withdrew his gaze and continued to climb up, reaching the window of 405 with brisk hands and feet.
The room was pitch dark, and you could only vaguely see a figure lying on the bed. The window was unlocked and opened with a slight push.
Without hesitation, Lin Ze easily climbed over the window edge and jumped into the room. When he landed, his footsteps were silent. The person on the bed was completely unaware that there was an uninvited guest in the room.
As his thoughts moved slightly, light particles condensed in his palm, and a long knife suddenly appeared. The silver blade shone with an icy luster in the moonlight.
Slowly walking to the bedside, Lin Ze looked intently at the figure above, but it was a middle-aged man with unshaven beard and messy hair, who looked to be in his thirties.
The light in the room was dim, but Lin Ze had excellent eyesight and could easily see the appearance of the middle-aged man. Although he was much haggard, he looked exactly like the man in the wedding photo hanging on the wall. He was obviously the owner of 405.
Xiao Ke’s father Chen Hai.
It seemed that he was having a nightmare. Chen Hai frowned tightly while sleeping and his breathing was slightly short.
Through the moonlight, you can clearly see multiple bruises on Chen Hai's arms, shoulders and calves.
This scene made Lin Ze's eyes flash with a strange look.
Just when he was confused, Chen Hai suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a tall figure standing in front of his bed. He subconsciously wanted to sit up and shout loudly, but Lin Ze hit him hard in the mouth with the blade of a knife.
He lay down on the bed again with a groan, and swallowed the exclamation back into his throat.
Lin Ze would not show mercy when dealing with a guy who could even attack a child. After slapping Chen Hai, he immediately said in a low voice: "Be quiet, I have something to ask you!"
However, Chen Hai didn't seem to hear what he said. He just hugged his head and huddled in the corner of the bed, his body trembling constantly. He trembled and murmured in a low voice:
"Please! Stop hitting me!"
"I know I was wrong!"
"Spare me! Please spare me!"
The fear contained in the voice was obvious.
Looking at the strange situation in front of him, Lin Ze couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
After discovering that there might be a monster hidden in Xiao Ke's home, he speculated that it might be the influence of the monster that caused Chen Hai's mood to change violently, and he would often fight against Xiao Ke.
But now it seems that things may not be as he imagined, and Chen Hai seems to be the one being beaten.
After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Ze took a step forward and reached out to Chen Hai, trying to calm him down. However, his expression suddenly changed and he turned to look at the door of the room.
Squeak!
The sound of the door shaft turning was particularly abrupt in the silent night.
The door slowly opened, revealing the figure behind it.
In the silent darkness, Xiao Ke stood quietly behind the door, looking directly at Lin Ze, his pale face seemed to glow dimly in the moonlight.
Compared to the daytime, Xiao Ke had a more gloomy temperament at this moment.
However, what attracted Lin Ze's attention more was the ferocious monster standing next to Xiao Ke.
It was a monster the size of a motorcycle, like a vicious dog. Under its yellowed fur were streamlined muscles, which seemed to contain explosive power. Its legs had sharp claws like sharp blades, which were deep when standing.
Digging into the tiles on the floor, staring straight at Lin Ze, his beastly eyes were full of cold and cruel cruelty, and his eyes were eager to devour anyone.
monster
[Attribute: Furious]
[Telvi level, lower level monster]
[Trait: Steel Claw]
"It is indeed a monster of the rage type." Lin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.
On the other side, after Xiao Ke and the giant dog monster appeared, Chen Hai's body trembled more and more violently, almost burying his entire head in the pillow, repeating "stop hitting me", "please" and so on.
He spoke as if he was frightened.
After seeing Lin Ze's figure clearly, Xiao Ke was obviously stunned, with doubts appearing in his eyes.
The giant dog monster next to it roared, grinned at Lin Ze, revealing its sharp canine teeth, showing hostility. Its huge body leaned forward slightly, as if it would pounce on Lin Ze at any time.
Seeing this, Xiao Ke quickly hugged the giant dog monster's neck and whispered to comfort him: "Be good, Duoduo, big brother is a good person, you can't hurt him."
With Xiao Ke's comfort, the giant dog monster unexpectedly calmed down and no longer assumed an attacking posture. However, the beast's eyes looking at Lin Ze and Chen Hai were still full of unabashed violence and cruelty.
This scene made Lin Ze slightly startled.
After calming down the giant dog monster, Xiao Ke turned to look at Lin Ze, his eyes passed over the red lotus in his hand, his expression darkened, and he whispered: "Brother, are you here to deal with Duoduo?"
Lin Ze was silent for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "It is a monster and may endanger your life!"
Monsters feed on human beings' negative emotions. It would not be bad if it were simply this. At least it would reduce a lot of negative energy in the world. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In order to get more food, monsters will actively lure humans and increase their negative emotions.
Some monsters can even suck human energy and even take away their lives.
There may be harmless exceptions among monsters, and Lin Ze would not deny it entirely, but at least the monsters he has encountered so far are violent and murderous creatures, so he does not intend to take a chance on whether the giant dog monster will hurt Xiao Ke in the future.
After listening to Lin Ze's words, Xiao Ke shook his head and hugged Duoduo's arms tighter.
"Duoduo won't hurt me. He has been with me since he was a child. Because of his presence, I don't have to be beaten by my father anymore!"
"So the scars on your father's body were caused by Duoduo?" Lin Ze raised an eyebrow.
"I was the one who asked Duoduo to do it!"
Xiao Ke pursed her lips tightly and looked gloomily at Chen Hai, who was shivering on the bed.
"Let daddy also feel the pain of being beaten!"
The room suddenly fell into dead silence.
After a long time, Lin Ze finally broke the silence: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ke."
After the words fell, his figure had disappeared from the place. When he reappeared, it was beside Xiao Ke. The lightning in his palm reached out. With a light knife, Xiao Ke was knocked out and sat down with support.
At the corner of the wall.
Only then did the giant dog monster react. It immediately became furious, opened its mouth wide open, and let out a deep roar. At the same time, it revealed its sharp canine teeth and bit Lin Ze viciously.
Facing this blow, Lin Ze just gently raised his arm to block it in front of him. After the light flashed, his body was covered with a layer of pale white aura armor, which just blocked the bite of the giant dog monster.
Lin Ze's armor spiritual skills have not yet been fully cultivated, and what he has condensed now is just a layer of aura armor that has no physical form. Even so, it is more than enough to resist the attack of the giant dog monster. The latter is only a lower-level monster after all.
The giant dog monster bit hard at its bloody mouth. Its sharp canine teeth pierced a large dent in the spiritual armor, but it was still unable to break through it. It couldn't help but become more anxious and furious. It raised its right forelimb and sent it hard towards Lin Ze's head, with its sharp claws.
An icy cold light shone in the moonlight, tearing the air and making a harsh whistling sound.
Lin Ze's expression remained unchanged, and he slashed out with his sword. In an instant, he saw a cold light passing through the void at a very fast speed. The giant dog monster let out a mournful cry, and its right forelimb shot up into the sky with bursts of blood, but it was cut off with a clean cut.
The severed limb flew out and hit Chen Hai on the bed. Scarlet blood spread all over his body. He screamed in fright and fainted.
Bang!
On the other side, the screaming giant dog monster was kicked in the side by Lin Ze. It flew backwards like a cannonball and landed heavily in the center of the living room, smashing the glass coffee table into pieces.
After receiving this blow, the giant dog monster suddenly had many small wounds on its body, and its whole body became dripping with blood. It stood up unsteadily, and before it could see its surroundings clearly, a blade burning with blazing flames gradually enlarged in its field of vision.
.
Poof!
The fire blade sank into the giant dog monster's neck and slashed past it. The latter's body froze, its ferocious expression instantly sluggish, its whole body fell to the ground, and its head rolled three to four meters away.
In the dimness, it was vaguely visible that the cruelty and cruelty in its eyes receded quickly like a tide, and it regained its clarity. It glanced longingly in Xiao Ke's direction, and then its eyes lost their luster and became silent.
Silence returned to the living room.
Lin Ze dispersed the flames on the soul knife and glanced at the corpse of the giant dog monster inexplicably.
The whole battle process was very easy. It was very easy for him to deal with lower-level monsters now. He didn't even need to release the soul knife. He could easily kill them by just activating the soul knife's characteristics.
It's just that the monsters he killed tonight were a bit special, which made him feel a little emotional.
Before this, Lin Ze had never thought that monsters could actually get along well with humans, even if it was only temporary.
While thoughts were swirling, a large shadow suddenly spread on one side of the living room wall, followed by the scavenger's figure emerging from it, bowing to Lin Ze and saluting:
"Happy New Year, Mr. Crow!"
This sentence made Lin Ze slightly startled. After a moment, he replied with a Happy New Year and then asked:
"What's going on with this monster?"
