She frowned when she looked at me like this. After thinking about it, he still came over with some hesitation and said to me cautiously, "Aren't you going to try that method with me?" We've got to find your 'mom and dad'. ”

"Then I can't leave my brother here who is in a coma." I shook my head, "I'm not at ease. It's not safe here, and I can't afford to lose even the slightest chance of losing him. ”

Xiaomo hesitated again: "Then it doesn't matter what happens to your 'parents'?" ”

I choked. Actually, Mom and Dad didn't lose it, in fact, they were in another room upstairs. But how am I going to explain it to her now? Say "I'm sorry, almost our whole family suspected you and colluded to lie to you"? ……

I suddenly thought of what my mother said, "Xiaomo smiled at us before the recording", and suddenly felt a pang in my heart, and for some reason suddenly felt that I couldn't let Xiaomo guess that "Mom and Dad" had been found, so I immediately pretended to be serious: "Xiaomo, you're right, I can't let go of my 'Mom and Dad', but I really can't leave my brother behind, so ...... Can you please help me find my 'mom and dad'? Because I can only ask you now. ”

Xiaomo looked at me, half a sound, she nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys are waiting for me here, okay?" I'll go back as soon as I go, don't run around. ”

"Okay." I nodded and watched her walk away in three steps.

At that moment, there was a noise on the other side of the stairs. I looked up and saw that Crumbs had actually come down the stairs?!

"How did you find this one?!" I was amazed. Because there is more than one road in this secret passage, there are several intersections to choose from, and Xiao Mo has been taking us to get here smoothly, and according to the complexity of the terrain, people who come in for the first time like Shatter will definitely get lost.

"Actually, I've been following you and your brother all the time." Shattered pouted, and tilted his head in Xiaomo's direction, "Where did she go?" What happened to your brother? ”

"It's not because of you, Xiaomo fainted with the anesthetic you gave her." I gave me a broken look, patted her beside me and motioned for her to sit down next to me, "Xiaomo went to help me find 'Mom and Dad', hey, by the way, don't tell her that we have found it, the reason is very complicated, it's hard to say now...... Hey, don't I look bad, Xiaomo helped me like this, and I lied......" After saying that, I buried my face in my knees a little uncomfortably.

"It's a little. I don't know exactly why you did this, but I'm sure you wouldn't do it for nothing. With that, Crush sat down beside me and patted me on the head.

"Anyway, why do you keep following us? Wouldn't it be nice to just come up and walk with us? I lifted my head and looked at her strangely.

"Because I faintly heard what Xiaomo said that he only wanted to tell you one, and even my younger brother Jun was not allowed to bring it, I felt that it must be very suspenseful for you to bring me another one...... But it's really a little uneasy to let you go, although I'm very sorry for Xiaomo, but I still have the cheekiness to follow......" After speaking, she scratched her head a little embarrassed and looked at me, "It seems that we are actually all bad people." ”

I sighed, feeling more and more uncomfortable, and the guilt of betraying my friend grew stronger, and I simply buried my head again and tried to ignore it.

After being silent for a while, Fragment changed the topic: "In other words, this anesthetic can't actually last too long, it can only last for half an hour at most, and your brother will wake up in about fifteen minutes." Did you have any plans at that time? Anyway, I can't remember the way back. ”

"Uh...... Just wait here for Xiaomo to come back, and by the way, what kind of method did she use to find my 'mom and dad'? It shouldn't be possible to have a monitoring room in such an old building, right? I said sullenly.

"It's hard to say, maybe it was installed later. Did she say how long it would take to be back? Crushed held his chin.

I shook my head, and suddenly a strange feeling lingered in my heart, in addition to the guilt I had just had, for some reason I suddenly felt a little more panicked, as if I sensed that something was about to happen.

"Shattered, can you help me watch my brother? I went up there to see what was wrong. I suddenly looked up and said to Shatter.

Shatter looked at me a little blankly: "Huh? Yes yes yes ...... But do you remember the way back? ”

I nodded: "My brother has a mark...... When he wakes up, if Xiaomo hasn't come back yet, you can ask him to bring you up immediately, okay? I'm sorry, but I'm really sorry......" With that, I nodded gratefully at her, and then quickly rushed down the long staircase.

It doesn't take as long to go up as it did when it came down. I watched my brother glue to the wall at every corner, and silently complained in my heart about the young master who was still such a waste of supplies in this situation, and climbed the last few steps breathlessly, feeling like my legs were about to be broken by me...... In one breath, I went straight back to the room where Xiaomo asked me to enter the original recording.

The room was still so dark and empty. Sweating and exhausted, I slipped out of the stairs and took my flashlight to the same entrance my brother and I had entered, only to be shocked to find that it had been re-locked.

I stared for a moment, and then climbed the stairs and pushed the door—it was securely locked. I couldn't help but thump hard, and the heavy door only made a dull and small sound, which seemed to be soundproof.

"." I couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. Descending the stairs and shining a flashlight around again, trying to find some other exit.

Naturally, it was in vain.

At this moment, there was another sound from the bottom of the stairs, and I hurriedly and vigilantly shone a flashlight over there. I saw a black shadow crawl out of there, and it was actually Xiaomo again.

I was noticeably more frightened this time than the last time. And in addition to being frightened, there was also some guilt mixed in - I promised to wait for her there obediently, but I still ran away. But it's really weird that she can catch up so quickly......

Xiaomo walked towards me slowly, his expression seemed to be a little colder and harder than usual: "Glutinous rice, you are not well-behaved, you actually ran out without permission." Didn't you say that I wouldn't run around when I waited there? It's really careless, and when you came in, you left a mark. As he spoke, he held out his right hand, on which were several torn band-aids.

“……！！” Oops, the band-aid for the road sign was torn off?! The first thought in my mind was what to do with Shatter and my brother next? The second thought is that it's really rude to do this, am I upsetting her? ……

"I'm sorry...... Are you glad we left the route without permission? After all, here's something classified...... It's so rude for us to do this, I'm so embarrassed, and we won't do it again. I immediately bowed sincerely and apologized, hoping that she would forgive me.

"Glutinous rice, you are really a good boy in essence. So can I ask you not to go out just yet? When I'm done with some things, can I let the three of you out? Xiaomo came over and grabbed my hand, his tone softened suddenly, and then dragged me down the stairs.
