As soon as he came into contact with the half piece of paper that fell out, Ling Tianmao felt that it was different from the book in his hand. This half sheet of paper should be no shorter than this book, but its paper is not as brittle and fragile as the paper in the book.

He took the paper in his hand and looked at it carefully, and there were a bunch of patterns and symbols that Ling Tianmao had never seen before.

"Isn't this the key your grandfather said......?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen that thing. Still, what do you mean by shopkeeper? My grandfather also opened a store? ”

"Uh...... This one...... It's just that a shop owner I knew before I came here happened to be called by this name, and I just saw your grandfather's name and subconsciously called it out. Realizing that he had slipped his mouth, Ling Tianmao hurriedly found a reason to prevaricate, "What do you think of this piece of paper?" ”

"I haven't seen any of these symbols on it, but it's likely the key my grandfather said, or what the guys were looking for tonight."

Ling Tianmao suddenly remembered something, reached out and pinched the corner of the paper, ready to tear it off.

"What are you doing!" Dahl had just finished shouting and discovered an amazing scene, this piece of paper was made of cowhide, Ling Tianmao had already used a lot of force, but the paper didn't even show the slightest sign of deformation.

"It seems that it should be the thing he said, isn't it true that your grandfather wrote it in his notebook, he has tried many methods, but he has not been able to destroy this thing."

"So what should we do now? Didn't he say that this was the key to what would cause the catastrophe to be? It's better not to let anyone know about this kind of thing, or why don't we keep it here? ”

"No, it was safe to put it here before, but if you look at the people tonight, they obviously already know that this thing is hidden in your house. And they seem to have found the other half, what if they come here and find it? ”

"Then you'd better find a way! Wait any longer, it's going to be dawn! Although he didn't know the exact time, Dahl felt like they had been in this underground passage for a long time.

Hearing Dahl's reminder, Ling Tianmao also realized this, and quickly put the notebook back in its place, stuffing the half of the paper back into his body, and before thinking about how to deal with this thing, putting it by his side made him feel more at ease.

Ling Tianmao crawled back to Dahl's living room, closed the door of the tunnel, and at the same time shuffled the order of the books on the shelves again, and then hurriedly returned to Dahl's room and closed the door.

As soon as he had done all this, he heard the footsteps of Dahl's father outside the door.

While glad that he had returned to the room before Dahl's father woke up, Ling Tianmao was also thinking about how to deal with this bunch of problems in Bandle City.

From his personal point of view, both aspects are to be taken into account at the moment.

One is that now that the group has set their sights on the Dahl family, as their "soul mates", what should they do so that the Dahl family, who have already lived an ordinary life, will not be involved in this matter anymore, and now they have no ability or need to deal with these things.

The second is that he has to think about how to ensure that this piece of paper is not discovered by others in the short term. The other beings in this world have nothing to do with him, but he needs this world to function steadily until he finds all the elemental cores and returns to Earth. Who knows what the disaster in the book is, what if the whole world explodes after the key is used?

"Why don't you give this to the Bandel City officials?" Dahl was also very troubled by this, especially after witnessing what Sowes had done to his father, and he really didn't want his family to be harassed by others anymore.

"No, it's too unsafe to do that, didn't you hear them say today that they've found half of the keys? Thinking about Teemo's performance tonight, I suspect that the thing he's looking for is the stolen half of the key. This has proven that the guards of Bandel City are basically useless to this group of guys, and handing them over to the authorities is no different from giving them away. I think the most important thing is not to let them know the whereabouts of this piece of paper. ”

"It's easy not to let them know, we just take the paper and leave, but then my family will be in trouble."

"yes, so we have to think of the best of both worlds."

As the two of them spoke, Ling Tianmao felt like he had fallen asleep in a daze.

"Knock knock knock", Ling Tianmao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a knock on the door outside the room, "Sir, come out for breakfast." ”

Last night's tossing made Ling Tianmao in a very bad state, with heavy dark circles on his eyes. Finally, he staggered to the table and sat down, but his eyes were unconsciously closed. When Dahl's mother handed him a buttered loaf of bread, he shoved it straight into his nose.

"It's hard for you, the yodelers' room is uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that we offended Uncle Sowes, you wouldn't have had to run over and squeeze this little room. ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Ling Tianmao shook his head vigorously to make himself sober up, "It's my own problem, to be honest, the room is quite comfortable to live in, much better than the inn opened by that old guy." ”

Dahl's parents seemed to think that Ling Tianmao was comforting them, and did not talk about the issue again, but only sighed softly.

"Oh, by the way, when I went out just now, I saw two or three more guys nearby that I hadn't seen before, sir, you better be careful lately, don't go out." Dahl's father, who was drinking milk, seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

This sentence made Ling Tianmao stop drowsing at all, he wasn't sure if these guys were focusing here just to find what he had in his hand or even sure that he was hiding here, no matter what, he had to take some measures quickly.

After breakfast, Ling Tianmao returned to Dahl's room, but he no longer had any sleepiness. He opened the window and looked outside, and sure enough, as Dahl's father had said, a man in a cloak was standing at the intersection, looking out of the house, intentionally or not.

"Damn, these guys are so fast, we can't stay here for long, Dahl, maybe we're going to leave in two days."

"It's okay for me to see my parents...... It's just that I don't want these guys to come back and harass them after we're gone, like Grandpa said, they deserve some peaceful life. ”

"I know, don't worry, I'll definitely finish this matter before leaving. In fact, I already have a plan. ”
