stepped on the soft ladder and climbed up the ladder, and when he reached the secret door, Zuo Xiaonian subconsciously paused. After a moment of hesitation, Zuo Xiaonian stretched out his hand and pushed the secret door open.

In the warehouse on the second floor, the secret door in the attic is indeed not locked, and it only takes a little effort to push it open. Because he was worried that the person who called the head would find out, Zuo Xiaonian deliberately lightened his movements when he pushed it away.

The candy house below is brightly lit, but the warehouse on the second floor is dim.

Because the warehouse itself is a confined place, and there is nothing inside the window, the attic is frighteningly dim. The dim second floor, because there is no light, so you can't see anything, and in addition, I don't know how long the wind has passed, the air in the attic is unpleasant.

In the turbid air, it seems that something is mixed in, and it smells a little sweet but there is an indescribable smell.

The dim place made Zuo Xiaonian hesitate, she was not sure if Xiaoquan had come up here, if not, she always felt very dangerous to enter such a place rashly. I was going to leave first, and then I found someone else to come and look for someone together. Who knew that when she put this hand to the side, she actually touched something.

After picking up the thing and carefully identifying it by the light below, Zuo Xiaonian found that it was a shoe.

And it's the shoes that Koizumi wears on his feet today.

Springlet.

Koizumi, that little guy, ran to the attic.

A child ran into such a place, and something happened to him. But how is it good. There are tangled hearts, but after some entanglement, Zuo Xiaonian finally got the courage to climb up.

In such a place, if you are careful, you should not be able to get into trouble.

stepped on it directly and then went up to the attic, Zuo Xiaonian did not go under the light of the secret door.

There is still some light that can seep up through the secret door without closing, and as long as there is light penetrating in, the darkness will not be so complete.

Stand there for a while, and wait until you get used to it a little. Zuo Xiaonian groped his way forward.

This attic is not completely dark. Somewhere there's something that glows. Because after taking a few steps forward, Zuo Xiaonian vaguely saw a glimmer of light coming from in front of him.

The light wasn't very sufficient, but it was enough for an unlit attic.

Because I saw the light. So Zuo Xiaonian hurriedly walked there. The closer you get to the light, the clearer it becomes. When you get to the light source. Only then did Zuo Xiaonian see the glowing object clearly.

There were several computers, each with a corner of the candy house on its screen. The computer in the middle is monitoring the outside of the candy house.

The owner of this candy house. Sure enough, it's hiding here, monitoring everything in the house.

Scanning the monitoring on the computer one by one, Zuo Xiaonian, who was still a little surprised at first, quickly frowned.

This candy house belongs to the owner, even if she doesn't want adults to come in, it's just a candy house for children under the age of ten.

No matter how strange it may seem to the outside, her store is in charge of her, and she can run her own candy house below, so why hide on the second floor where there is no light, and monitor everything in the candy house through this monitor.

The strange practice is incomprehensible, especially when Zuo Xiaonian found that some of these monitors could still be moved, and he couldn't understand what the candy house owner meant.

There were a lot of doubts piled up in his heart, and Zuo Xiaonian, who was also in doubt, didn't forget to look at the monitor in front of him with wide eyes.

There is no one in this attic, Zuo Xiaonian can be determined. When she came up, she was so loud that if anyone had found out, it would have been discovered early in the morning.

There was no one in the attic on the second floor, so where would the shopkeeper and Koizumi be where she guessed?

Because he felt that he couldn't understand, Zuo Xiaonian looked at the computer screen in front of him with wide eyes, wanting to see if these monitors distributed in the candy house had captured anything.

Unfortunately, no, no suspicious footage was captured under the monitors. Just when he couldn't find anyone's trace and was puzzled, Zuo Xiaonian found that there was a person standing behind him.

Through a computer screen that was not turned on on the side, Zuo Xiaonian saw a person standing behind her, and she suddenly turned around in shock and saw Ling Menglan who appeared behind her.

suddenly appeared there, as quietly as ever, Ling Menglan has appeared like this many times, because she has never brought harm to Zuo Xiaonian, so she is no longer vigilant about Ling Menglan's appearance. As soon as he saw Ling Menglan behind him, Zuo Xiaonian turned to look at her.

When the two looked at each other, Ling Menglan raised his hand.

The direction of the finger was indistinct in the dark.

There.

Ling Menglan was motioning to her for something.

Because it was pitch black and there was no light, Zuo Xiaonian couldn't see anything. After looking there and finding that it was all dark, she turned around and shook her head at Ling Menglan in confusion.

I shook my head because I couldn't figure it out. And after she shook her head, the pocket where the mobile phone was placed suddenly lit up, and her mobile phone automatically turned on the flashlight mode when no one was operating.

This light frightened Zuo Xiaonian, but when she found that her mobile phone was lit up and she didn't hear any other movements, she had the courage to take out her mobile phone, and then took pictures in the direction that Ling Meng Lan pointed.

The attic that was originally used to store the inventory was nothing, and if it weren't for the computer still lit up behind him, such an empty space would look like a discarded use.

It's no wonder she's so free to come up and walk here, and she doesn't stumble over anything.

The flashlight on the mobile phone was asked to be turned on, but the range that this flashlight can illuminate is limited after all. What Ling Menglan was referring to was in this direction, because Ling Menglan told him, so Zuo Xiaonian had the courage to go up step by step.

The candy house below is also considerable, but the attic on the second floor seems to be larger. Groping his way forward. I can't remember how many steps I walked, and the light of the flashlight suddenly hit a door.

It was a closed door, and it was strange that the closed door suddenly appeared here.

When the flashlight shone on a door, Zuo Xiaonian walked up briskly and gently pushed the door standing in the attic with his hand. Unexpectedly, with such a light touch, the door was pushed open. Pushing open the small gap, a gust of yin wind also poured out because of this small gap, which poured out not only the wind, but also a strange smell.

I can't tell what it tastes like. But Zuo Xiaonian felt uncomfortable.

for the door is hidden. So after pushing open this gap, Zuo Xiaonian poked his head a little and looked inside. A faint yellow light could be seen coming out of the back of the door, and although the compartment was pitch black, the back of the door was lit.

The dim yellow light did not blow away the shade here. On the contrary, it makes people feel even more weird and chilling. Under this dim light. Zuo Xiaonian could see the stairs leading below.

The stairs go straight down. The staircase between the two fronts must have to go to the bottom and turn around to see what is underneath.

Seeing the staircase hidden behind the door, Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Would you like to go in and have a look?

After some struggle, she finally pushed the door open in front of her. Walked down with light steps. didn't want to mention the people below, so Zuo Xiaonian turned off the lighting mode of his mobile phone, and just walked down the stairs with the light from underneath.

It's not like the soft ladder from the candy house, here is a real staircase made of cement slate, go down the steps step by step, Zuo Xiaonian's footsteps are deliberately put to the lightest. According to the area of the partition on the second floor, after a little estimation of the area of the candy house, I think this place is under the same eaves as the candy house. It's just that in the middle, the shopkeeper built a wall, and divided it into two places, the left and right.

One was used as a candy house outside, while the other was hidden for unknown purposes.

The stairs under his feet were not long, but Zuo Xiaonian had a lot of effort to get to the bottom. There are still a few flights of stairs to go down to the bottom, and I am afraid that this time I will never recover. To be honest, Zuo Xiaonian's heart was extremely entangled at that time, but when he was entangled, he heard the child's thin choking sound, and Zuo Xiaonian's heart was touched at that moment.

Fear and fear made him forget about it at that moment, Zuo Xiaoyoung walked down the stairs, and then looked over carefully.

The dim light, that was the light emitted by the candles, and in this closed secret room shrouded by the candlelight of the candles, Zuo Xiaonian saw such a frightening scene.

The chamber was boxy like a giant gift box, with nothing in it, and the only thing that could be called furniture was the chairs, large and small, that were placed all over the room. Chairs are the ones you see most often on the market. Four corners, one back, or placed in the corners, or two or three side by side,

Each chair is placed in a regular manner, and on these regular chairs, a child sits on it.

Children dress up as dolls, and everyone sits in their own chairs.

Somehow, the children sat there like lifeless dolls, and they all had a bag in their arms.

That bag Zuo Xiaonian had seen, and the candy that was given away by the candy house before was in such a bag. Koizumi likes the candy in this candy house very much, so the bag is also held in his hand all day. Every child carries such a bag in his arms, and it is obvious that the candy in this bag is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Eyes swept over the child on the chair in the room, Zuo Xiaonian's heart sank, and she was wondering what the situation was like in this candy house, but she heard the child's choked voice. She had heard it just up the stairs, and when she came down, she didn't pay attention to the cry when she was surprised by the room full of children. At this time, the cry was heard again.

The cry came from her left side, and she still hadn't seen what was going on on her left side. Because of this cry, Zuo Xiaonian immediately poked out his head, leaned against the wall to stabilize his figure, and then stretched his neck to look in the direction where the choked cry came from.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw Zuo Xiaonian, I was stunned there.

I saw that Koizumi asked someone to tie him to a chair, and Xu felt that the child's crying was too noisy, so she asked someone to stuff a piece of cloth in her mouth. And next to the tied Xiaoquan, a hunched woman wearing a shabby blouse was there, with her back to Zuo Xiaonian and I don't know what she was doing.

However, from Koizumi's expression, it can be guessed that what that woman is doing now must be extremely terrifying.

At least for a child, it's terrifying.

was tightly bound, and the little girl naturally couldn't break free, but Koizumi kept writhing her body in fear, tears couldn't stop staying, and the "woo" sound overflowed from the blocked mouth.

The child's crying, even if it was blocked by the cloth, would be annoying to listen to it for a while.

was busy with the things at hand, and after a while, the woman raised her head, walked to the side of Xiaoquan in a few steps, and said with a dry smile: "Hehe, don't cry, don't cry, Auntie will dress you up beautifully in a while." ”

While saying this, the woman walked towards Koizumi. When she turned around and walked away, Zuo Xiaonian saw her holding a pink dress in her hand.

The dress is very cute, and it is a princess style that even the little girls like. Holding the skirt in her hand, she walked up to Koizumi, and it was obvious that the woman wanted Koizumi to wear this beautiful dress.

But for some reason, the child was unusually frightened, and the choked voice became heavier and heavier, if it wasn't for the mouth to be blocked, the current Xiaoquan must be crying.

Her choking, her fear, the woman continued to hold the dress and gesture at Koizumi's body as if she hadn't seen it. While gesturing, the woman said with a dry smile.

"Pretty, really pretty, the most beautiful doll or something. Look at this little face, look at this look. Little one, why do you think you're so pretty? A man laughed and muttered to herself, probably remembering something that made her excited, and the woman let out a strange laugh in the middle of the conversation.

While smiling, she hugged the dress tightly into her arms, and after taking a heavy breath, the woman said, "Little guy, I really like you." So stay, stay with these brothers and sisters. Don't you like my sweets, little one? Then stay, after staying, you can be like this brother and sister, with a never-ending sugar. ”

For the love of sweets, that's child-specific. But staying in such a terrifying place, how could Koizumi nod. The child's tears were like a dam bursting from the embankment, but the fear did not cause any pity for the man.

The more Koizumi cried, the more excited she became, and when the excitement reached a certain point, this person was no longer limited to holding that piece of clothing.

Slowly approaching Koizumi, little by little, looking at the child, the woman smiled and said, "You little guy, you are really beautiful." Not only is it beautiful, but it also looks delicious. Hehe, it looks delicious. (To be continued......)
