"Ding~the destination arrives."

The elevator doors opened and closed slowly. Shao Zifeng looked at the surrounding scenes, a little unbelievable. He was obviously sitting on the same elevator, but the place where he came out was no longer in the "Happy Sunshine Community". It looked like a long run-down place here. The amusement park is sparsely populated and overgrown with grass.

squeezed the Tang Dao into the travel bag, and a burst of sleepiness and hunger hit.

It's already more than eight o'clock in the morning. Shao Zifeng, who had stayed up all night, felt a little tired. He took out his mobile phone to determine the location and walked to the nearest bus stop.

...

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

Shao Zifeng, who was sleeping, was awakened by the text message prompt. Recently, his heart seemed to be tightened, reminding him of a sense of crisis from time to time, and some people were staring at him secretly.

got up and put on clothes. The setting sun outside the window was hidden under the horizon. After looking at the ball that hadn't woken up, Shao Zifeng felt that today, there is a high probability that he will not be able to do the task. Although the reality is cruel, but I have to say...Leaving the ball, he is a scorpion.

Picking up the leftover bread in the morning, Shao Zifeng checked the detailed information of the task.

In the "Old Changanju" community in Sucheng, there have been frequent cases of missing family pets recently. Many owners who have lost their pets jointly launched an online help. The task requires finding out the cause of the missing family pets, and the executors are not allowed to contact the owner privately. After the mission is completed, the platform will send someone to collect evidence, and follow-up rewards and items will be transferred from the platform to the account of the mission executor."

The detailed information is not too detailed, Shao Zifeng rubbed his forehead with a headache.

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

But it’s not absolute. There are some collectively evolved races that are also suitable for family pets, like the clean cotton that evolved from dandelion. Because of its soft and cute appearance and clean talent, it is loved by ordinary families.

Of course, in most families, keeping a family pet beast depends on its appearance. A cute and practical family pet beast is often fired at a sky-high price.

Strictly speaking, Shao Zifeng's ball can also be regarded as a family pet. There is no contract, but they are interdependent. Compared with the previous cute pets relying on their masters to spoil their lives, the current family pets are more like a symbiotic relationship.

"嘤嘤嗷~~"

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

I saw the ball with sleepy eyes, rubbing his eyes with his small paws, looking around, looking for something.

(‘-ω??)

Suddenly its eyes lit up, and it quickly ran to Shao Zifeng's side, opened two short paws, and held Shao Zifeng's calf.

Shao Zifeng leaned down and held the ball in his arms, and carefully observed it.

After drinking the energy potion type I, the ball slept for a whole day, the scales on his body have grown a little, and the bare skin has basically been covered. The brownish-yellow and some reddish scales add a touch to the cute ball Fierce temperament, although his character still hasn't changed much.

"嘤嘤嗷~"

looked a little shy as if being stared at by Shao Zifeng, the ball raised his small paw in protest.

"Okay, don't watch it, let's go out to play the ball tonight, okay?" Shao Zifeng showed a "kind" smile, like an old father.

"嘤嘤嗷~" Poor ball, tool, ball didn't know that he was going out to work again, and happily hugged Shao Zifeng's arm and acted like a baby.

Shao Zifeng stretched out his clutches contentedly, rubbed the ball, and sighed in his heart, "The hand feels not as good as before."

......

At 10 o'clock in the evening, when Shao Zifeng went out, he saw the Tang Dao in his travel bag, he hesitated, and chose to bring it. Although I don’t know how to use the knife, it’s not enough to transform the Wang Ba Quan into a Wang Ba Dao.

Sucheng is an N-tier city. Except for occasional convenience stores and barbecue stalls that are still open, most of the shops are closed early.

The night in the early spring was still a bit cold. Shao Zifeng was wearing a hoodie with "Tibetan" in his arms. A small head protruded from his neckline, looking curiously at the handle of the knife in front of him.

I carefully touched the handle of the knife with my small paw, and there was a slight suction, and the ball shuddered, unexpectedly, it was a little comfortable. When I touched the handle again, it shuddered again. The ball's eyes lit up, cheerfully. Loosen Shao Zifeng's neckline, holding the handle of the knife and not letting go.

"嘤嘤~"

Shao Zifeng feels that his arms are getting warmer and warmer, thinking it is the talent of the ball to absorb the fire element, right? A strange look at the ball holding the handle of the knife with a look of intoxication, Shao Zifeng kicked it and continued to walk to Dongcheng District.

"Gu Changanju" is located in Dongcheng District, bordering the old city where Shao Zifeng is located. Although it is called Dongcheng District, it is not in the east of Sucheng. This is just a name relative to the old city.

Compared with the declining old city, Dongcheng District is like a rising sun. The infrastructure is getting better and better, and the housing prices are soaring. It can be said that families who buy houses here cannot be poor no matter how poor they are.

At the gate of the "Her Changanju" community, looking at the poor security of the community, Shao Zifeng was a little embarrassed. Now the whole city is so strict with the investigation. After trying to enter without success, Shao Zifeng, who wore a hat, turned around at the door, caused the security to be disturbed. note. UU reading

Fortunately, he put Tang Dao in the corner early, otherwise, now facing him is a group of murder dogs.

After leaving the main entrance, Shao Zifeng retrieved the Tang Dao and planned to surround the community to see if there were any entrances. The "So Changanju" community occupies a very large area, surrounded by tall iron railings, and the railings are covered with vines. Plants, plus the greening of the community, do not have the feeling of depression brought by the steel and cement in the general community.

"嘤嘤~"

Just when Shao Zifeng's patience was exhausted, and when he was about to go back, the ball on the neckline suddenly twitched his nose, the newborn reminded.

"Ball, what did you find?" Shao Zifeng lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

"嘤嘤~" The ball came out of his neckline, shook his little nose, and quickly ran towards a flowered wall in the community.

Shao Zifeng cautiously followed behind the ball, holding the scabbard in one hand and the long handle of the Tang sword in the other. He looked around vigilantly. This is a small park outside the community, and the shade of the trees shades the street lights in the distance. It looks dark. of.

"嘤嘤嗷~" The ball stopped in front of the flower wall, pointed at a place with a small paw, and called back to Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng came to the ball, and slowly pushed the scabbard toward the vine on the flower wall, and opened the vine. The iron railing below has been destroyed, revealing a hole for people to enter and exit.

Shao Zifeng squatted in front of the cave entrance, turned on the mobile phone flashlight, covered the light with one hand, and carefully observed the ground. There were many dense small holes on the ground under the cave entrance, as if they had been poked out by someone.

A few strands of hair were scattered around.

"Shasha~"

Shao Zifeng's cold hair stood up.

The sound of objects being dragged is particularly clear in the silent night.
