Welcome to the lock demon tower

By the time Qiao Que returned to the villa sullenly, many mission workers had already returned and were gathering in the hall, discussing something.

Almost everyone frowned.

Qiao Que looked around: "What's wrong?"

It was the girl whose arm was scratched who answered him. Her arm was wrapped in clean gauze, and her complexion looked much better. She was grateful to Qiao Que and the others, so she spoke with a little affection: "It's like this, just now It didn't take long for everyone to gather in the hall, and they discovered that the oil painting photo... had changed."

"Change?" Qiao Que asked with question marks all over his head, and went up the stairs to look at the huge photo.

There are more people in the photo.

On the open space in front of the empty big villa, a smiling little girl appeared, with a face full of sunshine, a few spaces away from the woman in black.

Twisted braids, oval face, two shallow dimples on the face.

"This is... the fried third child?!" Qiao Que shouted as his body was cold, and the air-conditioning swished out.

Teammate next to him: ...

While we can understand your surprise, what's the novelty of calling it?

The bandaged girl thought she had misheard: "Fried... what?"

Qiao Que choked, and then briefly told them what happened just now.

Two teammates looked at each other in surprise, and blurted out: "The so-called restored photos..."

Qiao Que touched the picture frame. Since the little girl appeared on the picture, it can be roughly seen that this should be a family portrait, not a single picture of the woman in black.

And the remaining vacancies...

Apparently reserved for the other kids clamoring to play hide and seek.

So far, a main line of this world has been clearly displayed in front of them.

"It's not about filters and beauty!" Qiao Que reasoned in the wrong direction and was hit hard.

Zhao Kexin: ...

If it was me, I would quit!I mean it!

Why do women make it difficult for women!

……

Before dinner, it really started a thunderstorm.

The sky has completely darkened, the sound of the wind is mixed with rumbling thunder, heavy rain is pouring, and there are streaks of lightning from time to time.

The dinner menu was still rich, and the woman in black didn't show up, only two maids with smirking smiles helped everyone prepare the meals.

Under the envious and admiring eyes of all the girls, Qiao Que was still gnawing on the whole wheat bread and vegetable salad, with a firm expression on his face, and even ten cows could not be pulled back.

Zhao Kexin reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the deliciously fried steak, with a resentful expression: This cruel world!

When everyone returned to the hall, the woman in black was sitting in the middle and reading stories to the children.

She was sitting gracefully, her voice was soft, and her expression was full of kindness. A group of little carrots surrounded her, well-behaved and quiet, listening fascinatedly, and children raised their hands to ask questions from time to time.

"Teacher, why does Big Big Wolf want to eat sheep? Little Huihui looks more tender?"

"Teacher, why does Nezha use lotus root for his body? Can't he use potatoes? I like potatoes..."

"Teacher, can Bald Qiang's chainsaw be able to saw Xiong Da's body?"

……

Qiao Que carefully peeked at Jiang Luchi: ... Is this some kind of Chinese-made dark system implant?

Jiang Luchi's temples throbbed, pretending not to hear.

In fact, the scene in front of me should have been a very warm scene.

However, it is probably due to the large space in the villa and the old circuit. The dusty Italian chandelier above the head emits dim and sallow light, and even the darkness in the corners cannot be completely dispelled.

The lightning and thunder outside flashed brightly through the window from time to time, instantly illuminating people's faces in pale and cold tones.

It's inexplicably creepy.

Seeing them from the corner of the eye, the woman in black covered her mouth and chuckled, closed the heavy book in her hand, and said to the children, "Okay, that's all for today, the teacher will take you upstairs to sleep."

Reluctantly, the children dragged a long tune "Ah—" but they didn't seem to dare to disobey the woman's words. They stood up obediently one by one, and followed behind the woman, like a long tail .

She walked up to the taskers and said with a smile: "Come on, distinguished guests, I will take you back to your room."

Walking to the stairs on the second floor, the woman put down the hand holding the child beside her, laughed happily a few times, then raised her voice, bent down, and said to all the children: "Now, go to sleep by yourself. Remember the teacher If so? Good boy, you are not allowed to go out at night, otherwise, you will die a miserable death. Do you understand?"

A few children showed fearful expressions on their faces, and they replied neatly: "Okay——"

Then they held hands and walked towards the room on the right side of the stairs one by one.

The woman turned around and showed a strange expression to the taskers standing on the other side: "Then, I wish you all a sweet dream."

……

Qiao Que sat on his bed, taking things out of his huge backpack.

Dried beef, pickled peppers, chicken feet, and pork jerky were scattered all over the floor.

Biting the potato chips in his mouth, he complained tremblingly: "I bet, what the woman said just now must have been to us... Well, Brother Chi, Sister Kexin, you all eat, I was in the supermarket It is absolutely safe, healthy and pollution-free!"

Zhao Kexin put a mask on his face, squeezed the flesh on his waist, then looked at Qiao Que, indignantly: "What to eat! I won't eat! Go away, go away, seeing your white waist Thin, young and beautiful goblins get mad."

Qiao Que took a bite of potato chips stuck in his throat: "Sister Kexin, I'm a man, you can't describe me like that."

Zhao Kexin glanced at him: "Heh. What kind of gender do little goblins have?"

Qiao Que: ...

Then why don't you dare to say Brother Chi!

He obviously looks better!

Although it was so dark outside that you couldn't see your fingers, it was still early enough for everyone to do nothing for a long time.

Zhao Kexin hummed and took out a helmet that looked very cyberpunk from the box.

With colorful lights, it looks very advanced at first glance!

Qiao Que was accurately poked, and his expression was incomparably shocked: "Sister Kexin! Has your contemporary Buddhist cultivation technology developed to this level?"

Zhao Kexin: ...? ? ?

Qiao Que frantically leaned next to her: "What is this? Your new weapon? Oh my god, it's so cool! Can you let me touch it? Just for a moment! Can you shoot Thunderbolt with your eyes? Can you play the Great Compassion Mantra? Does this weapon have a name? ?”

Zhao Kexin stroked his little curly hair affectionately, felt that it felt better, and couldn't help rubbing it twice: "Come on, read to my sister: light, beauty, tenderness, skin, beauty, appearance, appearance."

Qiao Que: ...?

438: "Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Qiao Que felt that he had been deceived, and his heart was broken: But this thing looks like... wait?Camel!

438: "Hmm! The new host I brought fell asleep. I'm here to check on your situation."

Qiao Que was excited again: I miss you so much!

438 was moved: "Be more considerate. Hey, it's better for you, the newcomer I brought... not only the skills are not practical, but also the brain is not very smart."

Qiao Que's proud face: Hehe... What's his skill?

438 can't explain it in a single word: ...the top of his head can glow in the dark.

Qiao Que: ...

438: He also dislikes his own abilities, so he wears a blackout nightcap to sleep at night. You see, he fell asleep at this point.

Qiao Que felt the same way: how could there be such fresh and refined skills!

It is simply not as good as Wang Dazhuang!

438 sighed with a frowning face: "My host luck is still so bad... Oh, it's not about you... I'm really afraid that he won't be able to complete the task."

Qiao Que also sighed, and explained in detail what happened in this world: I am also afraid, this world is too difficult, and I will not be able to use my abilities and spells.But... I have Brother Chi, and with Brother Chi, I will be able to pass the level perfectly!Didn't you see, Brother Chi is so--so amazing!

438: ...

That's right, it's good that you have Brother Chi.

Married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother!Not as good as the light bulb next door!Ah!

Here, Zhao Kexin was wearing a steel helmet beauty instrument. Before Qiao Que could speak, seeing his expression becoming lively again, he couldn't help laughing: "What? Your system wants to chat with you again?"

Qiao Que nodded happily: "Yes! He said that he would secretly pay attention to our side, and if it was really too scary, he would sing to me and meow like a cat."

438: ...I never said that!

Zhao Ke felt sad: "That's great. My system is not as good as a Taobao after-sales service, it's just a robot. Hey, Jiang Chu, are all your customer service AIs the same? Are you sure there are no real people?"

Jiang Luchi looked at the cheerful Qiao Que, and said thoughtfully, "This is the work of the technical department. They are all the same artificial intelligence system. But... there may be exceptions."

……

Qiao Que thought about it, and finally put on the little Swiss Army knife.

Zhao Kexin strapped on the watermelon knife as usual, and asked suspiciously: "Let's go out to do missions, what are you doing with the nail clippers?"

Qiao Que was speechless: "Self-defense..."

It was so dark outside, all the lights were turned off, and the lightning and thunder outside the window stopped at some point, the whole world had no light source, and it was silent.

Qiao Que comforted 438 in his heart: Look at the camel, its light bulb skills are not completely useless.

438: Thank you, I was comforted.

Zhao Kexin took out her phone and wanted to turn on the lighting function, but Qiao Que stopped her: "Sister Kexin, save some electricity." After all, when they first came to this world, they found that there were no sockets in the whole house, and they couldn't charge their phones.

As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and ignited the spiritual fire in his hand, forming a praise full of special effects.

Zhao Kexin: ...

Qiao Que was a little proud: "I asked Master, and it turns out that the middle finger is not needed for spiritual fire. You see, I can also light it with my thumb. Doesn't it look more civilized?"

438: ...That's not right, whoever sees someone wants to give their love.

With the faint light of the spirit fire in Qiao Que's hand, the three of them stepped up to the third floor lightly.

With just one glance, Qiao Que looked overjoyed at Jiang Luchi.

The third floor was unguarded, and the conspicuous brass lock that hung outside the attic door during the day also disappeared.

This at least shows that there is a high probability that their speculation is correct.Night is the condition for entering this attic.

However, Jiang Luchi frowned, and the expression on his face was not very relaxed. Years of experience in fighting abnormal life forms gave him a very keen intuition.

When the three of them approached the heavy iron gate, he suddenly reached out his hand to stop Qiao Que, who cheerfully relaxed his vigilance, his whole body tensed up, and he assumed a fighting posture.

Then, his eyes slowly turned to the window.

On nights when there is no moonlight, the sky and the earth seem to be covered with a layer of black shading cloth.

And outside the window facing the attic door, from the beginning to the end, there was a person hidden in the darkness quietly floating.

The woman who was dressed in pitch black, with only her pale face and eyeballs remaining, was quietly looking at them from the window.

The long black hair automatically melted into the night like seaweed without wind.

"My distinguished guests, I've said it. Disobedient children will die a miserable death."
