The Midnight Owl

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became tense. Seeing this, Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she burst into tears. She hurriedly stood in front of the four of them and spoke softly to the gardener: "Master Peng, they are all young master's friends. If you have something to say, talk to them..."

The gardener's temper was already on the rise, and the pruning shears swept towards Mrs. Chen's shoulders sideways. Although they didn't really "cut", they were so powerful that they pulled Mrs. Chen away at once.

Mrs. Chen staggered a few steps and nearly fell.

The four partners' hearts tightened, and Xu Wang even said directly: "You're coming after us, what's the point of bullying Mrs. Chen!"

Aunt Chen saw that the atmosphere did not ease, but escalated, and she wanted to speak again, but a big hand was pressed down on her shoulder.

Driver Zhang.

He didn't act excessively, just like patting his shoulders, quietly conveying invisible pressure: "Sister-in-law Chen, don't forget, you are paid by President Chi."

His voice was low, even revealing a trace of coldness, and he was a completely different person from the driver Zhang Ge who had been hospitable before.

Mrs. Chen's lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

In the end, she left silently.Looking back at that look before going out, apart from apology, there is also helpless pain.

The driver Zhang watched Mrs. Chen go away, then turned around, leaned against the door frame, and looked at the house quietly, as if he was sure that the gardener alone could properly take care of the four of them.

"The nagging person has finally left." Peng Yuanding picked his ear with his free hand, and exhaled comfortably.

Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin, under the cover of the sofa, secretly tapped their respective weapons for preparing for battle——<[武] Money Dart>, <[武] Dangerous Slingshot>!

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng are still waiting and watching. They are ready to fight, but how to fight this battle requires the opponent to make the first move.

The driver Zhang suddenly took a step back, from leaning on the door frame to standing outside the door.In the next second, the pruning shears carried by Gardening Peng began to grow in size.

The scissors were already much bigger than ordinary scissors, and when they swelled again, they became as long as a person, and when standing up, they were as tall as Peng Yuanding!

Peng Yuanding changed from carrying it with one hand to holding it with both hands, and instantly opened his scissors, and cut towards the four partners fiercely!

The giant pruning shears now don't need Peng Yuanding to move forward at all, the length of the cutting blade is enough to cut off four of them with one scissors!

Two of the four partners turned to the left, and two turned to the right. They all rushed to the ground, and the sharp blade swept across their heads, and "click" cut nothing!

Qian Ai was the first to get up, swinging his arms vigorously in the direction of Peng Yuanding, his movements were as chic as a hidden weapon master in a martial arts novel!

In an instant, a brand new hundred-yuan bill flew out of his palm. The bill was so thin that it was almost sharp, and it rushed straight to Peng Yuanding's face with a murderous look!

Peng Yuanding was stunned for a moment, but he quickly raised the pruning shears and blocked them firmly!

Qian Ai has been in a daze since he finished throwing the money dart. He thought it was a regular "money dart" made from copper coins. Why is it really a hundred yuan bill?Throwing each one out, is it fucking the enemy or piercing your own heart!

When the banknote hit the pruning shears, there was a crisp "clang" like metal colliding!

The blocked money dart fell to the ground lightly, and its posture in the air was still nothing more than a thin banknote.

After Peng Yuanding defended, he immediately switched from defense to offense. He didn't look for anyone, so he looked for Qian Ai, and the big scissors cut it all over!

Qian Ai immediately repeated the same trick, fell to the ground and rolled, and rolled directly to the fish tank in the corner!

The gardener wanted to chase after him and continue his attack, but suddenly he couldn't move any further. When he lowered his head, the sole of his shoe stepped on a puddle of glue. It was super glue that couldn't be pulled apart no matter how hard you tried!

【Owl: Someone used <[Defense] Impossible to move an inch> on you~~】

Qian Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a grateful glance at his military adviser who was sending charcoal in the snow.

At the same time, Kuang Jinxin had been aiming his weapon "Dangerous Slingshot" for a long time. When the gardener looked down at the glue on the soles of his shoes, he pulled the slingshot with all his strength and released it!

The sharp pebbles galloped away.

Unexpectedly, it missed by an inch, brushed past the opponent's calf, and hit the door frame.

Kuang Jinxin was annoyed, if Chi Yingxue used this weapon instead, he would definitely hit a hundred shots!

"It seems that I have underestimated you." The driver Zhang, who had been standing outside the gate, took off his coat, showing his muscular muscles, and walked slowly into the room, came to the single sofa, bent down, grabbed the sofa with both hands and lifted it vigorously Suddenly, without a moment's hesitation, he slammed towards Wu Sheng and Xu Wang!

The two of them were excited, and ran to the side!

The sofa hit the ground heavily, breaking many floors!

At the same time, the gardener directly opened the pruning shears, placed the soles of his shoes and the glued patch, and cut hard!Actually cut the glue!

After regaining his freedom, he immediately rushed to Qian Ai, and cut the latter's neck!

Qian Ai flashed fast, the blade cut on the fish tank behind him, and the fish tank was cut into pieces with a "bang"!

Broken glass, turbid water, together with the tadpoles and the frog in the same tank, all poured onto the ground. In an instant, the tadpoles kicking their hind legs and struggling were all at Qian Ai's feet!

Qian Ai's stomach twitched.

In the next second, those little tadpoles started to grow forelimbs!Right on the water-stained floor, forelimbs were born, tails shrank, and finally turned into tiny young frogs!There were quite a few of them, jumping directly to Qian Ai's feet!

The other three partners who were fighting with the driver felt their scalps tingle when they saw this.

Qian Ai was going crazy, frantically flicking his legs, trying to get rid of them!

Wu Sheng dodged the driver's punch here, and the <[武] A Thunderbolt from the Sun> in the pencil case flashed in his mind, and he weighed it quickly, but he still didn't use it.

This weapon is different from darts or slingshots, it is difficult to control the lethality and range.

If what happened at this moment, and Chi Yingxue in the dark room, had some kind of "communication", then if the weapon spread too far and the lethality was out of control, would it cause substantial harm to Chi Yingxue?

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, he can't take risks on his teammates.

"Squeak-"

In the chaos and noise, the sound of the door opening was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

The voice came in from the yard outside the door. There was only one door in the yard, which was the hanging flower door leading to the inner house.

The four partners were startled, not knowing what happened.

The banter sounded in the ear again, looking at the excitement and not being afraid of big troubles——

【Owl: You only have one chance in the inner house. After 15 seconds, the door will close. Don’t miss it~~】

The four looked at each other across the air, and tacitly saw the same word in each other's eyes - go!

They had to enter the inner house, Chi Yingxue was there, and the "East Wing" indicated by the badge was also there!

Wu Sheng dodged the pruning shears that were sweeping towards him, and decisively clicked <[Anti] Flying on the Grass>!

As the prompt sounded, he lightly stepped on his foot, and the whole portrait stepped on the magnetic levitation!

But soon he frowned - this armor can only be used by himself!

Time was running out, he didn't have time to think, stretched out his hand to pull the nearest Xu Wang, and carried it directly to his shoulder, the soles of his feet felt the wind, and rushed out of the house with a "swoosh" and went straight to the vertical flower gate, so fast that the driver and the gardener had no time to react!

Xu Wang felt dizzy for a while, and thought he was going to bounce back to reality. When he realized that he was picked up by Wu Sheng, he fell to the ground in the next second. Wu Sheng pushed him into the open door: "Hold the door, I will Go pick them up!"

12 seconds left.

The open flower door has begun to slowly close.

Xu Wang immediately supported it with both hands, using all his strength to fight against the gate!But he couldn't stand it at all, he almost exerted all his strength, and the door was still closing slowly according to his own speed.

Wu Sheng turned around and was about to run back, but Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin had already rushed out!

He immediately went up to meet him, picked up Kuang Jinxin while in the chaos, and headed back!

Eight seconds left.

He sent Kuang Jinxin in, turned around and went to pick up Qian Ai, but bumped into the driver Zhang!

The driver Zhang swung his fist, bringing the wind!

Wu Sheng leaned back and dodged a blow!

When did this person get behind him, he didn't even notice!

Qian Ai had already been thrown down by the gardener, who was riding on him, poking down with the pruning shears, but Qian Ai held his wrist tightly, preventing him from succeeding!

Qian Ai's face was flushed from exhausting all his strength, he knew clearly that time was running out, but when he glanced around from the corner of his eye, Wu Sheng was still outside the door.

"Leave me alone, you go in quickly—" Qian Ai shouted these words with almost the last bit of strength.

As soon as he yelled, he lost a little force, and the tip of the pruning shears was a little closer to his eyeballs.

Five seconds left.

Wu Sheng focused on his luck, kicked his feet, rushed over like a bullet, knocked away the gardener riding on Qian Ai with a "bang", picked up...uh, grabbed his teammates and ran towards the vertical flower gate!

Qian Ai couldn't keep up with his speed, and his shoes were almost bald!

Three seconds left.

The door leaf is only wide enough for one person to enter sideways!

The driver Zhang suddenly blocked the door!

Wu Sheng couldn't help cursing in his heart, but Jin Xin and Xu Wang inside the door were blessed at this moment, and kicked the driver's ass with both legs!

The driver staggered forward, Wu Sheng was in the blink of an eye, trying to avoid him with Qian Ai!

Finally arrived at the door.

Wu Sheng stepped in and pulled Qian Ai back, but he didn't.

When he turned his head, there was only an arm-width gap left in the door. Outside the door was Qian Ai, who was tightly hugged by the driver Zhang's thigh.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to join you."

Through the crack of the door, Qian Ai looked into the eyes of the three teammates and made a firm promise.

At the last moment, he grabbed Wu Sheng's hand that was pinching him, and pushed into the door!

time up.

The hanging flower door is closed tightly, not even a breath of wind can get through.

Fist wind came from behind.

Qian Ai didn't even look at it, and turned back to the attacker's face with a heavy punch!

The driver Zhang Xiang staggered and sat on the ground. Just as Qian Ai was about to jump on it, he suddenly felt an itchy calf.

Lowering his head, he rolled up his trousers, and a young frog was clinging to his calf. The moment he was discovered, it made a very small "croak".

Qian Ai was dizzy for a while, then his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

……

Inside the Chuihua Gate, the three partners tried their best to break the door, including brute force and stationery, but to no avail.I want to climb up the wall and look back, but I can’t climb up at all. There seems to be an invisible ceiling above my head, which I can’t break through. It’s exactly the same routine as the moonlight maze on 4/23.

The three companions leaned against the door, exhausted.

In front of them was the garden of the inner house, with flowers, grass, and trees, but none of them were alive.

The grass is yellow, the flowers are withered, and the trees are withered.

But all the flowers, plants and trees stayed at the moment of withering. The yellow grass was lying down, the faded flowers were drooping, and the dead leaves were still hanging on the branches of the trees, blocking the hazy sky.

Xu Wang looked at everything in front of him, unable to tell what mood he was in.

No one's yard looks like this.

Just like no one can disturb the lights, keep tadpoles in fish tanks, and the gardener's pruning shears will grow bigger.

This is not memory flashback.

Just like what Kuang Jinxin dreamed in the dark room was his own imagination, here is also Chi Yingxue's imagination, or in other words, Chi Yingxue's conscious world that combines reality and imagination.

Inner hell.

They were in Chi Yingxue's mind.

Facing Chi Yingxue to them... No, it was memory and pain that Chi Yingxue built, hell.
