I gently shook my little confused head, put down the book in my hand, stood up gently, and began to walk slowly around the room.
Walking back and forth in the room seems to relieve my anxiety at this time.
But my brain did not stop thinking at this time, but continued to think carefully.
[Since it is said that people with attribute powers must be able to learn the shadow form, then it proves that the person who just peeked at me must be a powerful shadow power user...
If that's the case, then the real culprit in the urban legend is most likely a shadow ability user. Based on his abilities alone, as long as the investigation is clear, he can sneak into other people's homes quietly in time, and there is no chance of being discovered.
Sex?
Then the problem comes.
He just chose to keep peeking outside the door. What on earth was he thinking? Why didn't he dare to come in? What was the reason? Could it be...does my house have a special layer of protection? Is it for some other reasons?
If this house has a layer of protection, can we ensure our own safety as long as she and I stay here? 〕
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a breath of air. Piles and piles of questions kept wandering in my mind. I felt that my forehead was a little hot at this time. It seemed that if I continued like this, it wouldn't take long before it would automatically
crash.
"Gulu..."
[If he has actually entered this house, what should I do?]
When I thought about this problem, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and a chill came to my heart.
I don't know how long I stared at these things in front of me. After I came to my senses, I shook my head gently and continued to rummage through the boxes and cabinets looking for books, trying to divert my fear.
Fearing that something might happen, my whole body was highly tense, and some nervous sweat began to slowly appear on my forehead.
Suddenly, I heard a "squeak" sound. I was looking for a book and was frightened. I sat down on the ground and looked at the source of the sound involuntarily.
"I've changed it..."
At this time, Chen Mengting gently opened the wooden door and whispered to me shyly.
"Um?"
Sitting on the ground, I patted the dust off my butt, stood up and pretended to be calm, and turned my head to look at her.
"Hey? What's wrong with you?"
Chen Mengting looked at me sitting on the ground in front of her and couldn't help but tilted her head, suppressing a smile and asked me.
"nothing……"
I smiled bitterly and sighed, and I could only keep repeating one sentence in my heart...
[If you scare people, you will scare them to death.]
After I finished complaining, I noticed what Chen Mengting was wearing. I saw that she was wearing my white body shirt. The two huge bulges on her chest and the exposed belly button couldn't help but surprise me. With such a dress, most people would not notice it.
I'm afraid it might be a little bit over the top.
On her shoulders, she wore a white and gray sportswear, and her pants were a pair of black casual pants. The light gray sneakers seemed like the shoes I wore when I was a child.
Generally speaking, Chen Mengting's combination is not ugly. At this time, she has the flavor of a married woman and looks very mature.
"How's it going? Am I... good-looking?"
Chen Mengting, who was a little shy, rubbed her hands gently and asked me hesitantly. As she twisted, the two protrusions began to shake slowly.
"Well, it suits you quite well."
I gave Chen Mengting a thumbs up and a hearty smile to her, but I can
I clearly felt that my nose was a little warm, as if something was about to flow out.
"That's good……"
Holding the hem of her clothes, she lowered her head slightly and whispered in a mosquito-like voice. Such a shy look made her even more adorable.
"Um."
Although I didn't hear clearly what she said at this time, I still politely responded with a "hmm" in case she said anything troublesome.
I raised my head and took a deep breath, then turned my head again and continued to rummage on the bookshelf.
…
"Tick-tick-tock."
Time passed like this bit by bit, and Chen Mengting just looked at me and continued to search.
"Tsk...can't find it..."
After looking through all the books, I couldn't help scratching my head, and then sat down on the bed. Looking at the dazzling array of books in front of me, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and mutter to myself.
"Um...need...need my help?"
Chen Mengting gently poked her head, and when she was finally able to speak, she shyly asked me.
"No need...I've already looked for it, and it's true that it's not there. It seems that these things are a bit confusing..."
When I said this, I accidentally glanced at the watch on my wrist. At that moment, I seemed to remember something.
Looking at the watch, I suddenly stood up, hit my left palm hard with my right hand, and then said to myself excitedly: "I see... I actually forgot a very important thing."
The problem. I finally understand!”
"Huh? What's the problem? What do you understand? Why don't I understand?"
Chen Mengting blinked slightly and asked me with a puzzled look on her face.
"I never understood the reason why the black shadow I saw just now was outside the door, and then I blindly analyzed it for a long time. Only now did I suddenly realize it, phew... what a mistake!"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but grin slightly, and then showed a self-deprecating smile.
"Ah? What shadow, what problem..."
Chen Mengting couldn't help but feel a little dazed when she heard this. She was so confused that she quickly asked me.
"it's actually really easy."
Having said this, I gently raised a finger and explained to her with a smile: "Just now I saw a black figure with red eyes outside the window. He looked at me for a while and then disappeared. Then I
I have been analyzing it for a long time, still thinking about why this guy didn't come in to assassinate you or me. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure it out. It wasn't until just now that I understood one thing."
"whats the matter?"
Chen Mengting blinked her confused eyes and looked silly at me.
"You have said before that he must kill someone at twelve o'clock. But it is still early, far from twelve o'clock in the evening, so at this time, you are safe."
I sat gently on the bed and analyzed it carefully.
"Oh...I see, I understand."
Chen Mengting nodded slightly and answered with a vague understanding.
I curled my lips and ignored her answer. Instead, I turned my head and looked at her again: "Do you need me to explain it again?"
I asked very kindly.
“No, no, no…”
Chen Mengting, who was a little shy, waved to me quickly when she heard this, with a wry smile on her face.
"I just want to know now, when did your friend die? Was it at midnight or at noon?"
I did not continue to explain my understanding to Chen Mengting, but suddenly changed the subject and continued to ask her questions.
"This has happened all this time..."
Chen Mengting pursed her lips slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she answered me softly.
"Has this happened before? Then we'll be in trouble now."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help frowning, smacking my mouth and talking to myself.
"What's wrong? Did something happen again?"
Chen Mengting looked at me with a puzzled face and asked softly.
"Oh, you are really a stupid girl..."
Looking at her confused look, I couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly.
"What happened?"
Chen Mengting continued to ask with a puzzled look.
"It's okay. You go to rest now and force yourself to sleep for a while. At seven o'clock in the evening, I will wake you up. Then I will go to bed in the building, but you have to wake me up at eleven o'clock."
When I said this, I stood up and tidied the bed where I was sitting, and said to her softly.
"Why? Is it for safety reasons?"
She frowned in confusion and asked me in confusion.
"Yes, because there are two of us now and we don't have enough manpower, so we have to work in shifts and sleep day and night. Of course, this is the only way to prevent someone from sneaking up on you."
I gently stroked my chin and explained softly to her.
"Well, I understand."
After hearing my words, she was about to turn around and go into the house to rest, but I stopped her again.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Mengting couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw my actions, and couldn't help but ask.
"You just sleep on this little bed. Don't stay too far away from me. Otherwise, if something happens suddenly, I won't be able to save you. Do you understand?"
I stood up gently, pointed to the small bed I just sat on, and said very seriously to her.
"Um……"
Chen Mengting nodded to me gently.
"Also, you must call me if there is any situation, you know?"
I looked at her very nervously and said very seriously.
"I see."
Chen Mengting suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and while answering me, she nodded lightly with red cheeks.
"Why are you blushing? Are you okay?"
I looked at her suddenly rosy cheeks and couldn't help but asked with some confusion.
"Um...can I...not take off my clothes?"
Chen Mengting's cheeks were as red as apples and she asked me cautiously.
"You don't need to take off your clothes, just sleep in what you are wearing. This will save you the trouble of having to get dressed in a hurry if there is an emergency. Wouldn't that be more troublesome?"
I waved my hand gently to her and explained to her helplessly.
"That's good."
She nodded slightly, took off her shoes with her face flushed, lay directly on the small bed, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep slowly.
…
After settling Chen Mengting here, I picked up the manuscript I brought with me, then returned to the seat at the door, and began to read the entire manuscript carefully. Now, every bit of information is crucial to me.
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
As time passed by bit by bit, goosebumps spread all over my body. I was still afraid...I couldn't help but be afraid.
