Chapter 22 Voices in the Darkness

"Ding~ Destination arrived."

The elevator door slowly opened and closed. Shao Zifeng looked at the surrounding scene, and it was a bit incredible. He was obviously taking the same elevator, but the place he came out was no longer in the "Happy Sunshine Community". It looked like a long-destroyed amusement park, with sparsely populated nearby and overgrown weeds.

He forced the Tang Dao into his travel bag, and a feeling of sleepiness and hunger came.

It was already past eight o'clock in the morning. Shao Zifeng, who had been staying up all night, felt a little tired. He took out his cell phone to determine the location and walked towards the nearest bus stop.

...

"Ding~Mr. 9331, the detailed information of the task you received has been sent to your account email. Please complete the task as soon as possible and wish you a happy life."

Shao Zifeng, who was sleeping, was awakened by the text message prompt. Recently, he felt a string tense in his heart, and a sense of crisis reminded him from time to time, and someone was staring at him in secret.

He got up and put on his clothes. The sunset outside the window was hidden under the horizon. After looking at Qiuqiu who had not yet woken up, Shao Zifeng felt that today, he would probably not be able to complete the task. Although the reality is cruel, I have to say... After leaving Qiuqiu, he was just a belt.

Pick up the leftover bread in the morning and Shao Zifeng checked the details of the task.

"There have been frequent disappearances of family pets in Sucheng's 'Old Chang'anju' community recently. Many owners who lost their pets jointly initiated online help. The task requires that the cause of the disappearance of family pets be found, and the task executor is not allowed to contact the owner privately. After the task is completed, the platform will send someone to collect evidence, and subsequent rewards and items will be transferred from the platform to the task executor's account."

The details were not detailed enough, and Shao Zifeng rubbed his forehead with a headache.

The so-called family pets are individual evolutionary and mutated creatures that do not require contracts and are raised by ordinary people. Most of them have no combat power, but have some magical abilities, such as calming the mind, cleaning, and helping sleep.

But it is not absolute. There are some collectively evolved races that are also suitable for family pets. For example, the cleaning cotton evolved from dandelions is loved by ordinary families because of its soft and cute appearance and cleanliness talent.

Of course, most families raise family pets based on their appearance. A cute and practical family pet animals are often hyped up at sky-high prices.

Strictly speaking, Shao Zifeng's ball can be regarded as a family pet, which has no contract but is interdependent. Compared to the cute pets that were pampered by their owners, the current family pets are more like symbiotic relationships.

"Yeah~~"

A tender and cute cry awakened Shao Zifeng who was thinking and looked back.

I saw the sleepy Qiuqiu rubbing his eyes with his little paws, looking around, looking for something.

Suddenly, its eyes lit up and ran to Shao Zifeng quickly, spreading its two short claws, and hugging Shao Zifeng's calves.

Shao Zifeng bent down and held Qiuqiu in his arms and observed carefully.

After drinking the energy potion type i, Qiuqiu slept all day long. The scales on her body grew a little, and she had basically covered her naked skin. The brown and yellow scales added a hint of fierce temperament to the cute Qiuqiu, although her personality still had not changed much.

"Yeah~"

As if she was staring at Shao Zifeng, Qiuqiu protested with her little paws.

"Okay, I won't watch it anymore. Will we go out to play Qiuqiu tonight?" Shao Zifeng showed a "kind" smile, like an old father.

"Yeah~" Poor Qiu, Tool, Qiu didn't know that he was going out to work again, so he happily hugged Shao Zifeng's arm and acted coquettishly.

Shao Zifeng stretched out his clutch with satisfaction, rubbed the ball, and sighed in his heart, "It feels not as good as before."

......

At 10 o'clock in the evening, when Shao Zifeng went out, he saw the Tang sword in his travel bag. He hesitated for a moment and chose to bring it with him. Although he didn't know much about sword skills, he would just turn the turtle punch into the turtle knife.

As an n-tier city, Sucheng is open except for the occasional convenience stores and barbecue stalls, most of the shops close early.

It was a little cold in the early spring night. Shao Zifeng was wearing a hoodie and holding a "pioneering" in his arms. A small head poked out from his collar, and looked at the hilt in front of him curiously.

He carefully touched the hilt with his little claws. A slight suction came. The ball shivered and felt a little comfortable. He touched the hilt again and shivered again. Qiuqiu's eyes lit up. He happily released Shao Zifeng's neckline and held the hilt without letting go.

"Yeah~"

Shao Zifeng felt that his arms were getting warmer and warmer. I guess it was Qiuqiu's talent to absorb fire elements? He looked at Qiuqiu with a strange look on his face, and Shao Zifeng stroked it and continued to walk towards the East City.

The Dongcheng District where "The Old Chang'an Ju" is located is bordering the old city where Shao Zifeng is located. Although the name is Dongcheng District, it is not on the easternmost part of Sucheng. This is just a name given to the former old city.

Compared with the gradually declining old city, Dongcheng District is like the new sun, with more and more complete infrastructure and housing prices soaring. It can be said that no matter how poor a family buys a house, it is not much poorer.

At the entrance of the community "Old Chang'anju", Shao Zifeng felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the unkind gaze of the community security guard. Now the whole city is so strict. After trying to get in, Shao Zifeng, who was walking around the door with a hat, attracted the attention of the security guard.

Fortunately, he put Tang Dao in the corner early, otherwise, the ones facing him would be a group of fierce dogs.

After leaving the main entrance, Shao Zifeng retrieved the Tang Dao and prepared to surround the community to see if there was any entrance. The "Chang'anju" community covers a very wide area and is surrounded by high iron railings. The railings are covered with vines. In addition, the greening of the community is not as depressing as ordinary communities, the steel and cement are not as depressing as ordinary communities.

"Yeah~"

Just as Shao Zifeng was patiently exhausted and was about to go back, the ball on the neck suddenly twitched his nose, and Chusheng reminded him.

"Qiuqiu, what did you find?" Shao Zifeng asked in a low voice.

"Yeah~" Qiuqiu came out of his neckline, shook his little nose, and quickly ran towards a flower wall in the community.

Shao Zifeng followed carefully behind the ball, holding the scabbard in one hand and the long handle of the Tang sword in the other, and looked around vigilantly. This was a small park outside the community, with the shade of trees blocking the street lights in the distance, making it look dark.

"Yeah~" Qiuqiu stopped in front of the flower wall, pointed at a place with his little paws, and turned around and called to Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng came to Qiuqiu and slowly stretched his scabbard toward the vines on the flower wall, and picked the vines open. The iron railing below had been destroyed, revealing a hole for people to enter and exit.

Shao Zifeng squatted in front of the hole, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, covered the light with one hand, and carefully observed the ground. He saw that there were many dense small holes on the ground under the hole, as if someone had poked it out.

A few tufts of hair scattered around.

"Swisper~" the sound of the object being dragged is particularly clear in the quiet night.
Chapter completed!
