Night shrouded this ancient town, without the hustle and bustle of a bustling city, without the traffic jams, and without the colorful sky woven by thousands of neon lights.
Standing in the central square of the ancient town, I looked up and stared at an ancient stone pillar standing in front of me. There was a lifelike dragon carved on the wall, and an ancient clock was set on the top. At this time, the hands of the ancient clock were completely overlapped and perpendicular to the earth; in the ancient town, the lights of thousands of households had been extinguished.
The reason why I appeared here is because Chase assassinated Li Xiandi at the recruitment site at that time. Although he was seriously injured at the time, he managed to escape, so I followed him all the way here. In fact, I'm not in a hurry to capture it. Before cats eat mice, they like to tease mice.
Standing in place and looking around, I pouted the corners of my mouth, dodging and chasing towards an alley not far away.
After a while, a light was lit at the entrance of the alley, and a figure slowly moved towards the depths of the alley, and finally stopped in front of a red iron gate.
I hid in the dark, and when I saw the person coming, I found out that it was a girl.
The girl Bai Nen's palm pressed on the iron door and gently pushed it, but the door was not pushed open. I couldn't help but let out a small yawn and increased my strength, but the door was still closed.
"Bang bang bang..." With the sound of the knocker hitting the iron door, the girl shouted, "Dad, Mom, why did you close the door? Didn't you call me to keep the door?"
There was still no response in the courtyard.
I stood behind the girl and watched with cold eyes for a while, before letting out a light cough to attract her attention.
The sudden voice made the girl scream in surprise and suddenly turned to look at me. The light of the flashlight was shining directly on my face, and the light was so dazzling that I couldn't help squinting my eyes.
"Can you not point the light directly at me?" I said to the girl in a flat voice.
The girl also realized her rudeness, and quickly turned the light to one side, and apologized to me embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, you startled me by making a sudden noise behind me just now. I was in a hurry..."
"I know." I interrupted her explanation, staring straight at the ground beneath her feet.
Following my gaze, the girl looked down and found that there seemed to be a puddle of water on the ground. Moving the light to take a closer look, she screamed and hurriedly jumped away, her mouth half-opened in a daze.
I didn't speak, I walked to the door and knocked on the door for the girl, but there was still no movement in the yard.
I turned to look at her, the corners of my mouth moved, but I didn't know what to say to her.
"Who are you? Is there anything wrong with knocking on my door?" The girl suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at me vigilantly.
"I'm just a passerby, but..."
I hesitated for a moment, and continued to say to her, "If I guessed correctly, something has happened to your family by now."
"You are talking nonsense!"
The girl suddenly changed her face and raised her voice in displeasure. I think she must have misunderstood that I was cursing her family.
"I called an hour ago, and my mother told me to keep the door waiting for me?"
I was too lazy to explain, so I made a direct offer: "Try to make another phone call."
Although the girl was angry, she still angrily took out her mobile phone and dialed the number.
"Sorry, the call you dialed is temporarily unanswered, please try again later."
The girl did not give up and continued to call.
"Sorry, the call you dialed is temporarily unanswered, please try again later."
"I don't believe it anymore." The girl muttered bitterly.
"Sorry, the other party is temporarily inconvenient to answer the phone, please call again later."
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is off..."
The girl was dumbfounded, and said, "Why is it still turned off?"
Maybe the girl didn't notice anything wrong with the voice prompt coming out of the phone, but this little detail didn't escape my keen insight. The first two times were unanswered, then it was inconvenient to answer, and finally shut down.
From the locked door, it can be inferred that someone must be at home. For a long time, no one has opened up that they are powerless, or that they have encountered an accident.
An inexplicable panic quickly took over the girl's mind. Just when she didn't know what to do, my slightly hoarse voice sounded at the right time: "No matter what you see in a while, I hope you can stay calm."
The girl nodded lightly in agreement, but did not understand why she was so obedient to my words.
I didn't say any more, I took out a custom-made special universal lock pick from my pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and fiddled with it lightly. Then with a slight push, the door slowly opened.
The girl stared at my side face with wide eyes in disbelief. Because I had reminded her before, she would not let her cry out.
"Don't run around, follow me within one meter." I spoke again, and my tone revealed not a request but an order.
The girl nodded in agreement.
The yard was dark, and there was no light in the house, and the silence was a little scary. For the first time, the girl felt that the home she had lived in for 18 years could have such a scary side.
The footsteps of the girl and I were very strange in this quiet yard, and she could hardly breathe because of the oppressive atmosphere. Suddenly he took two quick steps and walked side by side with me, stretched out his little hand and grabbed my left sleeve.
A master's matchup can often decide the winner and loser in a single thought, and decides life and death. The girl grabbed my sleeve, which undoubtedly affected my speed and performance.
Although Chasing was severely injured by me, and his strength is far from my opponent, I did not despise him because of this.
All along, no matter how strong or weak the enemy is, I always despise the opponent in aura and respect the opponent in battle. So, I've lived to this day, and I'm still alive and well.
I frowned, and just as I was about to speak, a slight sound suddenly came from the wall on the left. I suddenly raised my right hand, and a bright light shot out from my palm.
"Meow-bang-" A scream was accompanied by the sound of objects falling to the ground.
It was a cat!
At this time, the girl held my left arm tightly with both hands, and her trembling body was telling the fear in her heart. However, she was also brave, at least she didn't scream.
I wanted to pull out my arm without leaving a trace, but I couldn't succeed by being held tightly by her.
"You release your hand first, or you may be hurt in a while."
My tone was very soft and soft, and later the girl told me that it was very warm in her ears.
The girl let go of me according to the words and continued to move forward.
Standing in front of the door, I stretched out my right hand and gently held it on the handle of the door, turned it slowly, and the door opened in response.
I slowly closed my eyes and listened.
"Go and turn on the lights." I whispered, the voice almost dragged out with my breath.
The girl went to turn on the light according to the words, she didn't seem to think much, let alone whether rashly turning on the light would be life-threatening.
The moment the light was on, I opened my eyes, and the girl's grief-stricken voice sounded: "Dad-Mom-Brother!"
I closed the door halfway without leaving a trace, moved my footsteps slightly, and came to the girl's side in the blink of an eye, helping her crumbling body.
There were three corpses lying on the floor of the living room, and they sat on the sofa with a solemn expression, staring at me. A pregnant woman with a big belly knelt in front of him. The pregnant woman's eyes were blank, but she was sobbing silently.
