Chapter 260: The Monster in the Chest

The sun's rays shine on the ground with the shadows of the branches and leaves, and the light and shadow are intertwined.

"Xia Mu, don't worry. We're just going to find out what the hell is going on. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Xia Mu and said lightly.

"Even so, I still can't believe you."

Xia Mu was a little hesitant.

After all, it's about leaking information about your employer, and it's hard to convince yourself to do so.

"If that's the case, then...... You can go and see for yourself what the goods are. If it's just ordinary goods, how about I pay you the same as my employer? ”

Chen Beibei looked at Xia Mu and said slowly.

It is understandable that Xia Mu was reluctant to disclose that information, so Chen Beibei did not force him on this matter.

However, for those goods...... Xia Mu himself is also curious, right?

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys.

I guess it's hard to control my curiosity.

Since this is the case, then let him take a look for himself, if it is a monster, presumably Xia Mu will take the initiative to find him.

"Why do you have to look at those goods?"

Xia Mu asked.

"Suspicious, isn't it? And it's unknown whether the contents will have an impact on this town, right? ”

After Chen Beibei said these words, he turned around and left, because, he knew, Xia Mu would definitely go to see it.

The old fisherman who lives not far from this town, if he is implicated because of the strange things inside, then Xia Mu will blame himself very much.

Moreover, in the past, those mysterious goods had completely aroused Xia Mu's curiosity.

……

At night.

Xia Mu has never been able to fall asleep alone, which has something to do with what Chen Beibei said during the day, and it also has something to do with the exclamation from the box he heard before.

For such a long time, Xia Mu has been responsible for registering information for those mysterious cargo boxes covered with black cloth.

It's the same every time, you can't touch it, and you haven't even entered the most storage place where the boxes are located.

"Those Fuso merchants have always been suspicious."

Xia Mu got up from the bed.

Then I walked towards the warehouse where the goods were stored, the damp ground exuded a musty smell, and I was not afraid that the goods would rot if I stored the goods in such a place?

The door to the warehouse was locked with a large lock.

However, this did not make it difficult for Xia Mu, or rather, Xia Mu had already prepared for it.

Xia Mu took out a key from his pocket, this was the key that Xia Mu had asked the white dog to steal from those Fusang merchants a long time ago.

A long time ago, Xia Mu had already wanted to come to the warehouse and rescue the person who was locked in the container.

However, because I have not been able to strengthen this determination, I have been delaying and not coming, and of course, the people inside have always been alive, which is certain.

The white dog can look through the crack in the warehouse door to smell the smell of decomposing corpses inside.

I haven't tasted like this before.

Therefore, the people inside should be fine, and the Fuso merchants will not let her die so easily if they transport that person thousands of miles here.

Open the door to the warehouse.

It was pitch black inside, almost to the point where he couldn't see his fingers, Xia Mu only needed to take out his mobile phone and use it as a lighting tool.

Then the door was carefully shut.

In this case, as long as you don't stay too long, you probably won't be noticed.

Those Fusang businessmen are already very relieved about Xia Mu, and in the past, they would often come to Xia Mu's dormitory to check, but recently, they will not come at all.

In the warehouse, large and small boxes are piled up everywhere.

All the boxes were covered with black cloth, and they looked like they were black walls.

Xia Mu casually picked up the black cloth on the outside of a box.

The exterior of the pale yellow wooden box looks quite new, probably made of new wood. There was hardly a crack on the outside of the box, so even if the black cloth covering the outside of the box was lifted, there was still no way to see what was inside.

"There are no gaps...... Is it already dead? ”

Xia Mu thought so in his heart.

There is no gap in the cargo box, which means that if there are people locked inside, then they will definitely suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

Moreover, in the absence of gaps, even if the corpse decomposes, no smell will come out.

"It can't really be like that."

Xia Mu wanted to open the box, but the lid of the box was directly occupied with strong wood glue and the box, which also meant that once the box was opened, there would be traces.

This made Xia Mu hesitate slightly, after all, the risk of doing so was too great.

Being able to transport so many goods here has proved that those Fuso merchants are not ordinary people, at least in terms of financial resources, they are still relatively strong. Such a person, in such a place, if you want to kill someone, it probably won't be difficult.

Xia Mu covered the box with a black cloth again, at this time, he couldn't do this, and it wasn't just because he was alone.

Whether it's an old fisherman or a white dog, they can't afford to lose themselves.

And he can't let them leave his side.

Xia Mu began to knock on the boxes one by one, and then asked softly, "Is there anyone?" ”

"Anyone?"

"Anyone?"

……

Xia Mu didn't know how long he had been knocking, because he was just knocking on those boxes, so Xia Mu put away his mobile phone as well.

The light is in a dark place, and it is really eye-catching.

Xia Mu didn't want to be discovered by those Fusang merchants who had secretly come here, otherwise, things would have become very troublesome.

In the dark.

Xia Mu touched the boxes with his hand, moving slowly, and his voice was very low: "Is there anyone?" ”

"Hmm~"

An extremely subtle sound suddenly came from inside a box, and the sound was so small that Xia Mu wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Anyone?"

Xia Mu continued to ask tentatively.

"Hmm!"

The voice was a little louder, but it was indeed a low-pitched voice, as if it was afraid that the sound would be too loud to attract someone's attention.

However, this time, it was enough for Xia Mu to be sure that he had not heard it wrong.

The answer that came from the box was already certain that there was someone in the box, or rather, another spirit capable of speaking.

After all, there's no way you can stay in a small, airtight box for so long.

Just as Xia Mu was about to continue to communicate with the spirits in the box, the voice of his companion calling him came from outside.

It was the man who lived in the same dormitory as Xia Mu.

"My companion is calling me, I'll come back to you next time!"

Xia Mu leaned on the box and said hurriedly.

Then he hurriedly ran out and locked the door of the warehouse again, although his companion was also a relatively good person.

However, it's better not to be known about such a thing.

"Xia Mu, why did you come here?"

When his companion saw Xia Mu, Xia Mu had already locked the door and hidden the keys in his pocket again, so Xia Mu's expression was relatively calm.

"Just take a walk, what's the matter with you?"

Xia Mu looked at the companion and asked rhetorically.

The companion slowly approached Xia Mu, and then said softly, "Recently, there are a few new girls on Chunyu Street, do you want to play together?" ”

"It's better for you to go by yourself, and I still have to keep my money and take it home."

Xia Mu said lightly.

For places like Chunyu Street, although Xia Mu is not repulsive, even many women in it are indeed very beautiful.

But that's just pretty.

It's a kind of beauty that is pleasing to the eye, that kind of beauty, you can look at, and if you give some money, you can touch it. And after the end, that kind of beauty is still standing there quietly, and then waiting for others to watch and enjoy.

It doesn't belong to any one person.

It is precisely because of this kind of non-belonging that Xia Mu does not have any nostalgia for Chunyu Street.

"Well, it's boring."

Xia Mu's companion left the warehouse below a little dejectedly and walked towards Chunyu Street alone.

……

The white dog took advantage of the old fisherman's nap to sneak out of the house, opened the door with his front legs, and when he went out, he gently closed the door with his hind legs.

The speed of the dog's movement is still quite fast, after all, some ordinary people used to use dogs to hunt hares.

The white dog ran towards the small town of Scarborough.

Yesterday, it had already told Xia Mu that it was going to persuade those two little monsters to come and live with Xia Mu.

Relying on his keen sense of smell, the white dog quickly found the pepper and the mussel essence.

It is in a relatively hidden place on Spring Rain Street.

"Wang~"

The white dog barked softly at Jiaotu and the mussel essence, trying to attract the attention of Jiaotu and the mussel essence.

However, Pepper Tu and Mussel Essence apparently did not have an interest in a dog.

The white dog slowly walked to the side of Jiaotu and the clam spirit, and then said in a human voice, "Little monster, let's talk together." ”

The white dog suddenly spoke, startling Jiaotu and Mussel Spirit.

"You ......"

The mussel spirit hurriedly withdrew from the state of surveillance and retreated behind the waste wall.

"What the hell are you?"

Jiaotu covered his little heart, looked at the white dog, and asked it.

The white dogs have already spoken in human voices, so naturally they don't plan to hide their identities in front of Jiaotu and Bengjing.

"Like you, you're a youkai."

The white dog said lightly.

"Yokai ......"

Jiaotu carefully looked at the white dog, it was an old dog, the white fur had lost its luster and turned dull.

Even the eyes seem to be covered with a layer of gray.

"You...... You're old, aren't you? ”

Jiaotu looked at the white dog and said slowly.

"It's just a teenager, compared to you, maybe ...... Smaller, bar. It's just that dogs have a shorter lifespan, so they look older now. ”

White Dog explained.

"That'...... We...... The lifespan of the body is also relatively short, why do we still look so young now? ”

Jiaotu looked at himself and the mussel spirit, and the two of them now looked like they were only sixteen years old as a human being, and there was no trace of aging at all.

"Your body is smaller, and you have more aura hidden in your body than mine, so you can slow down the aging of your body. As long as you have enough aura, even if your body is huge, you can do it to your level, and some big monsters can even survive for tens of thousands of years without aging at all. ”

The white dog looked at Jiaotu and Mussel Jing and said slowly. However, when the white dog said this, his eyes were very dim: "I'm just a dog who has acquired a little aura by chance, and I can speak human words, but I can't even transform into a human form, so I ......"

Jiaotu saw a sad look in the white dog's eyes.

Probably because I got older and had to face death, I guess that's why it's like this.

"What's your name?"

Jiaotu looked at the white dog and asked softly.

"Xiaobai."

The white dog replied.

Xia Mu has always called himself like this, so this is his name. Although now that he is older, the name sounds a little inappropriate.

"Xiaobai, do you have anything to do with us?"

Pepper asked.

"Let's go somewhere else, there are too many humans in this place, and if they see you talking to a dog, then it will arouse their suspicion."

The white dog looked at Jiaotu and said to her.

Jiaotu was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he agreed: "Bengjing, this place will be handed over to you." Don't let those women be taken away by strange men alone. ”

"Well, Jiaotu, don't worry. But......" The mussel's gaze fell on the white dog, and then continued, "You have to be more careful yourself." ”

"Okay."

After Jiaotu finished speaking, he followed behind the white dog and left Chunyu Street together.

The White Dog took Pepper to a wooded place, which was already out of the town of Scarborough and barely noticeable.

"Here it is."

The white dog suddenly stopped, and Jiaotu also stopped.

"Well, now it's time to tell me, what are you looking for us for?"

Jiaotu lifted the hem of his kimono a little, then leaned against a tree and sat down, the blue kimono was more colorful than the grass in midsummer, and it looked refreshing and clean.

The white dog was slightly stunned: "If such a monster follows Xia Mu, he can rest assured." ”

"What are you thinking?"

Jiaotu's refreshing voice sounded, and the white dog shook his head, driving those chaotic thoughts away from his mind.

Now is the time to convince this beautiful little monster to follow Xia Mu.

You can't be half-hearted!

"I want to ask you for one thing......"

The white dog's gaze met Jiaotu's, and said in a very sincere voice.

Jiao Tu took out a light blue silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead because of the hot weather when he was walking just now: "What's the matter?" If I can help you, then I'll do my best! ”
