Final Chapter: Hope (4)

With a heavy heart, Fleur walked out of the house. She stood in the middle of the crossroads, not leaving, scanning her surroundings over and over again.

Everything here was all too familiar to her. But for some reason, she always felt a little strange.

In the past, most of the townspeople at this time would have gone out for a walk and chatted with their neighbors. However, at this time, the streets were not only empty, but there was also a very obvious atmosphere of gloom and fear.

Fleur thought to herself: "This 'lazy town' is really quiet, terrifyingly quiet. ”

After a sigh, Fu Hui picked up the suitcase with one hand, grabbed the music box Gu Chengzi gave her with the other, and went in the direction of Lao Xu's house.

At first, her "running away from home" was somewhat angry. After all, it was her home, and if she left there, where else could she go? But she never expected that Gu Chengzi not only stopped her, but also kindly helped her point out where to go.

Moreover, Gu Chengzi said that "surrounded by machinery" implies that he is being monitored by laziness and is in a very dangerous situation. At the same time, he said, "It's so important to me, I've been listening to it since I was a kid to sleep." As long as I listen to its unique music, my heart will gradually calm down".

If it were someone else, I guess it would just feel like it was just an ordinary plea. But their brother and sister are like glue, and they know very well what each other's habits are. Fleur is sure that sleeping with a music box is not one of his many habits. And the "unique music" and "gradual calming of the heart" that he refers to also seem to imply something very important.

She desperately wanted to open the music box and make sure it wasn't what she thought it was. But just before she left, Gu Chengzi also specially instructed, "The parts in this music box are a little loose, if you lose it halfway, it will be difficult to find, let's open it when we get to Brother Xu's house." ”

Therefore, Fleur had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and open it after seeing Lao Xu.

After a while, Fleur came to the door of Lao Xu's house, and after knocking on the heart-soothing bell hanging on the edge of the door, she heard a rush of footsteps. As soon as the door opened, I saw Lao Xu's eyes wide, looking at her in surprise and confusion.

"Little Fleur, why are you here?" he asked.

"Brother Xu, I don't want to see that Gu Chengzi, so I ......"

Lao Xu nodded and said, "Oh~ I understand, the two brothers and sisters were angry and ran away from home, right?" ”

Fleur couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "Yes, I'...... Is it a runaway...... Can I stay at your house for a few days?"

Lao Xu spread out his hand and said with a smile: "Of course you can! Very welcome! There is a guest room on the next floor, which is just right for you." After that, Lao Xu leaned his back against the door, closed his waist with one hand, and made a gesture of "please" with the other.

After Fleur entered the door, Lao Xu carried her suitcase and led her to the room on the next floor. The dΓ©cor of this room is nothing special, but it looks extra warm under the golden sunlight.

And her impetuous heart, after stepping into the room, seemed to be much calmer, and she said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Xu, this room is really good." ”

Lao Xu shook his head helplessly and said, "Seriously, there has to be laziness in the words of thanks." ”

"What?!" Fleur suddenly frowned and glared at him viciously.

Lao Xu was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he quickly explained: "Yes...... That is true. The room on this floor is usually not in or out, so it has always been dusty, and it is no longer suitable for people to live in!

I've renovated my home inside and out, and I've cleaned up this room. ”

Fu Hui immediately loosened her brows, her eyes rolled sharply, and she said slowly: "Brother Xu, when I heard you say this, I realized that everything in the town is much cleaner! Why?"

Lao Xu pointed to a cylindrical intelligent machine in the room, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it's because of it." When I came back, it was there, a vacuum cleaner, very powerful, and it sucked all the dust out of the room. ”

"I see," Fleur exclaimed...... "it seems that Lazy is about to implement his philosophy once and for all." ”

After settling down with Fleur, Lao Xu turned around and planned to go downstairs to continue his tea. But just then, Fleur picked up the cylindrical telekine in both hands and moved it to the other end of the aisle. Then, he pushed Lao Xu back into the room and locked the door.

Lao Xu looked at her in horror and said eagerly: "Little Furui, I'm not the kind of person you think!

Fleur glanced at him, then took the music box out of her bag and handed it to him. When Lao Xu saw the music box, his eyes blinked quickly, and he asked suspiciously.

"Isn't this the music box I gave to the city before?

"He said it's broken, and you have to fix it. ”

"Repair? I don't know how to repair! This is a specialty of another town, and the structure inside is so sophisticated that I don't dare to move it." ”

"Something from another town?!"

"yes, from the market in which town? Anyway, I won't fix it. By the way, why did the city let you bring it?"

Fleur frowned slightly, as if a big word of sorrow was written on her face, "I don't know either." Maybe it's because of what's inside!"

"What's that?"

"As for what it is," Fleur said in a deep voice, holding the music box in front of her eyes, "you will only know if you open it and see it!"

Fleur looked around again, making sure there weren't any sapient machines, before she took a deep breath and slowly approached the box with her other hand. After a "click" sound, a beam of golden light shot out of the crack in the box. Seeing the dazzling light, the corners of Fleur's mouth suddenly rose slightly, and the boulder hanging in her heart finally landed.

But at the moment when the lid of the box was completely opened, a strong electromagnetic pulse suddenly erupted in the box. This electromagnetic pulse ran through the whole room, and all the intelligent machines were affected, and they all instantly sparked. To their shock, there were faint sparks in the walls around them.

Lao Xu exclaimed: "Little Furui, what's going on!"

Fleur reacted the same as him, but when she looked closely at the pattern of the spark, she immediately recognized it as a weapon. She sat down on the bed with weak feet, and who knows, the bed was also sparking, and it slightly electrocuted her.

"Brother Xu......" Fu Hui said uneasily, "This house is all equipped with weapons, and the lazy reconstruction turned out to be ......"

"Weapons, you mean inside the wall?!"

"Right...... And the number is staggering......"

When they walked out of the room, there was no place on the wall that did not spark. At this moment, Fleur looked down at the music box, only to realize that a small mechanism had been completely scorched. And underneath that mechanism was a golden fountain pen.

Fleur picked up the device and pulled out the pen with a little more effort, and the music box was immediately back in operation, and bursts of beautiful music rang out. She looked at the pen and was distracted for a while, until Lao Xu turned around and joined the ranks of the trance.

"It's diligent caressing

Heartbells. Lao Xu said sluggishly.

"Yes, I guessed correctly. Instead of killing Qinqin, the brother helped him escape. ”

"I understand what Chengzi means!" Lao Xu suddenly woke up, "He is afraid of others, especially laziness, and finds it and knows that he is not dead!

"Yes. But where is it hidden?"

"Hey, I've got a way for this!"

Lao Xu hurriedly dismantled the wooden plank on the staircase wall, opened the hidden hidden compartment, and carefully placed the diligent heart-soothing bell inside. But the moment they put the planks back on, all the sparkling machines were back in operation, and there was a loud knock on the door downstairs.

Amid the crisp music, one of the lazy men rushed to the compartment, only to see them casually studying the music box.

"Little Fleur, look, isn't this repaired!"

"It turned out to be because of the dust, thank you, Brother Xu. ”

"Who are you?" asked Lao Xu calmly.

......

At this time, on the other side, lazy subordinates also rushed to Gu Chengzi's house and surrounded him. A cacophony of machinery slid through the sky and landed in his yard, and as soon as the door opened, the men spread out like two ends, making way for a wide path.

Lazy walked through the crowd with an unusually solemn face, and stood in front of Gu Chengzi, his fierce gaze like two sharp swords was enough to pierce his body and mind.

"Lazy, what do you mean by that?" Gu Chengzi asked lightly.

"What do you mean, what did you give them?"

"They? I don't know who you're referring to. ”

"Furao and Brother Xu. That music box. ”

"Oh, that music box is broken, I'll ask Fleur to bring it over to Brother Xu for repair. ”

Lazy stared at him coldly, grabbed him by the neck with one hand, and shouted angrily, "Don't play tricks! I know you're doing something in it! What the hell did you give them!"

Gu Chengzi looked directly into his eyes fearlessly, and replied word by word, clearly: "Just, yes, one, one, music, music, box." ”

......

That day, Gu Chengzi twisted up and jumped down from the basement with one step. What surprised him was that all of Qinqin's actions were all acted, and he believed in Gu Chengzi's personality from beginning to end.

As soon as he left his lazy sight, the first thing he said was: "Chengzi, I can't hold on." You take my heart-soothing bell. After saying that, he diligently took out the heart-soothing bell from his trouser pocket and handed it to Gu Chengzi's hand, "Chengzi, the town will leave it to you in the future." ”

"Diligent, what am I going to do?"

Qin Qin immediately grabbed Gu Chengzi's hands and pressed a program called [State of Emergency]. Immediately afterward, two spray guns spun out from the basement wall, spraying thick blood at them. At the same time, a semi-finished mecha flew towards Diligence and enveloped him.

"Chengzi, I have already set up a place to live, as long as I can confuse his sight, I can escape. ”

"Confusing his sight?" Gu Chengzi pondered for a while, "I know what to do!

"Good. Please, Chengzi, don't give up hope. One day, everything will be fine. ”

......

Lazy punched Gu Chengzi in the stomach, and the pain was so painful that he almost fainted. But he came through strongly, squinting at laziness, clenching his angry fists, and admonishing himself:

"Don't give up hope. ”
