Chapter III
The pajamas on Bai Yao's body only exposed her long neck and slender hands, and the sunlight shone obliquely, illuminating her originally white skin as transparent as jade, Jiang Shao glanced at her, and his throat narrowed: "That, Bai Yao, you go and change your clothes first." Jiang Shao's face hidden under his hat could not see any expression, and his voice was as cold as the melting snow on the high mountain and splashing down the cliff.
Bai Yao didn't know where she should go to change her clothes, so she went to the previous room with the mentality of giving it a try, and found that there were really a lot of clothes she could wear in the closet.
Jiang Shao waited in the reception room for ten minutes, and at a glance, he saw a wave standing at the door. The girl in front of her was wearing blue and white short-sleeved sweatpants and five-point loose sweatpants of the same color, revealing a white slender leg, and her hair was tied up casually with a leather band of a blue ribbon, like a wave containing countless energy, and like a light and white cloud.
Jiang Shao took his eyes off her and said indifferently: "Let's go." Bai Yao didn't know how the fourteenth floor worked, in these fourteen high-rise buildings, there were countless rooms, rooms, corridors, and halls were interspersed among them, forming an extremely complex pattern.
"Are your eyes the same as the sunset tower I saw?" Bai Yao can remember the legend that in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand ancient buildings.
Jiang Shao cherished the words like gold: "Hmm." The perfunctory meaning between the words could be felt by Bai Yao staggering him several steps.
She frowned, her mouth pursed, and she was no longer bored. Jiang Shao's so-called taking her was to take her around the ancient building, from the first floor to the thirteenth floor, Jiang Shao did not speak during this period, but Bai Yao was not impatient at all.
Because, the inside of this ancient building is a little incredible. They stopped at the staircase from the thirteenth floor to the fourteenth floor, and Bai Yao found that they had been walking for almost two hours.
"You can't go up to the fourteenth floor." Jiang Shao was serious and said to Bai Yao with a glance. Bai Yao led his neck to look up, the sky was bright, but it was foggy above, and he couldn't see anything.
"Why? What's on it? Jiang Shao didn't answer her on this question, turned around and walked down: "There are many rules in the building, you will slowly get familiar with it in the future, and you will never be able to go up to the fourteenth floor." β
"Also, that, sometimes don't ask about things you shouldn't ask." This is the second time someone has warned her, Bai Yao was unconvinced, and a sneer squeezed out from between her teeth.
And Jiang Shao was already about to go down to the twelfth floor, and Bai Yao shouted, "Where are you going?" Jiang Shao turned his head: "I'm done taking you, I'm going back to sleep, you can go back to the room too." After speaking, Jiang Shao didn't give her extra time to react, and ran away first, as if Bai Yao was standing there like a flood beast, and fled in the wilderness.
Bai Yao: "......" This is to take me? I have to say that Jiang Shao's perfunctory intentions towards her are really undisguised.
However, the so-called strangers in the building are stranger than the other, Bai Yao looked at the empty corridor helplessly, and Bai Yao didn't bother to care about anything.
As for her room, if she didn't think about it, the room where she woke up before was where she would live in this Sunset Tower in the future.
She sighed and went downstairs, going back to the room she had been in from memory. But what she didn't know was that the moment she turned around, the stairs leading to the fourteenth floor behind her slowly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
"Bai Yao, you have read all the information, you first familiarize yourself with us, and this task should be practiced." Bai Yao stayed on the fourteenth floor for two days, and finally officially intervened in the task in the building and became a veritable member of them.
Ten years ago, Zhao Xing, who was only twenty-five years old, married Hu Sanrong, who was almost fifty years old, and became the successor mother of the Hu family.
The Hu family has a lot of money, and Zhao Xing has nothing. Five years ago, Hu Sanrong died of illness, and the box that Zhao Xing was looking for is said to be the burial goods that accompanied Hu Sanrong to the tomb at the beginning.
"Zhao Xing opened the tomb regardless of public opinion, but the box was no longer in the tomb, and she felt that her adopted son had taken it first." At this time, Bai Yao followed Li Ganhe in a rather large room, the room was exquisitely decorated, and there was a fireplace on the side, revealing a strong Western taste.
The five of them sat on a couch together, and in addition to Li Ganhe, Qin Ya, Jiang Shao and Bai Yao themselves, there was still one person left who had just met today.
The person who spoke just now is called Jiang Jiazhu, who is more than one meter tall, wheat complexion, and tendon meat, and looks like he doesn't need money to open a gym at home.
"It doesn't matter if it's a box or not, just get her back." Qin Ya carefully guarded the nail art she had just done, and said casually.
Li Ganhe glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "I think she cares about this thing so much, we also have to pay more attention." Bai Yao listened to their conversation, and the more she listened, the more wrong she became, and she couldn't help but interject: "Wait a minute, don't you guys want to help Mrs. Hu find the box?" Four pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Qin Ya was the first to laugh, looking at her like a new continent: "Don't you know what we're going to do?" Li Ganhe frowned: "Jiang Shao, didn't you explain it to her?" Now everyone looked at Jiang Shao, Bai Yao was very angry, this young man who looked a little autistic showed her how magnificent and rich their building was, and he didn't speak more than five sentences halfway.
Li Ganhe probably also knew Jiang Shao's temperament, sighed resignedly, and began to slowly talk to Bai Yao.
"There were many strange beasts in the ancient flood period, and the strange beasts were ferocious and often fought, and it was an extremely chaotic era, and this situation lasted until the birth of human beings."
"After the birth of human beings, because they were too weak, they were often affected to death in the war of alien beasts, and then the alien beasts were in chaos, and the war broke out, Nuwa Niangniang took pity on her descendants, so she sealed the alien beasts in the artifact. This is the famous record of strange beasts in the mountains and seas. β
"But as a thousand years have passed, the seal has weakened, and some alien beasts with weak abilities and weak effects have escaped from it, and our mission is to reseal these alien beasts back into the Divine Record."
"Mountains and Seas Strange Beasts? The Book of Mountains and Seas? Bai'er was puzzled. What she has lost is only the memory of her own experience, and the common sense still remembers.
"Poof, the Classic of Mountains and Seas was compiled by humans, and the Records of Mountains and Seas and Strange Beasts are artifacts." Qin Ya sneered. Bai Yao's mind turned and he exclaimed, "Mrs. Hu is a strange beast? What kind of beast is she? Qin Ya raised her eyebrows, smiled without saying a word, and looked at Bai Yao with a not-so-serious appreciation in her eyes.
"It's a nine-tailed fox." Li Ganhe stood up: "Okay, let's go, Jiazhu, you and Yaya are in a group, Bai Yao and Jiang Shao." Li Ganhe's words seemed to be in Jiang Jiazhu's arms, his eyes lit up, and the whole person became happy, and leaned over to Qin Ya's side: "Hehe, Yaya." Qin Ya looked careless to everyone, but before Jiang Jiazhu got close, her face immediately turned cold, and her feet kicked over mercilessly: "Get out." β
"Yaya." Jiang Jiazhu was frightened and didn't dare to move. Qin Ya hooked her hand, hooked Jiang Shao over, and walked quickly to the door, without looking at the man standing in a daze: "Jiang Shao, my sister is in a group with you." β
"Eh, Yaya?" Jiang Jiazhu shouted unwillingly, looking lonely, but Qin Ya and Jiang Shao were unmoved.
Jiang Shao didn't like to be touched, so he broke free of Qin Ya's restraints and raised his eyes to meet Bai Yao's eyes. Bai Yao's heart tightened, and immediately said, "You guys, you guys are OK." "These two are one indifferent and the other is weird, and it is best for them to be together, lest she panic.
Bai Yao slandered in her heart. The young man's face was always hidden under the big black hat, Bai Yao blurted out, he only stopped for two seconds, and then followed Qin Ya out, seemingly indifferent to such an arrangement.
"Am I ruining your business?" Bai Yao and Jiang Jiazhu stood side by side on the soft, sun-drenched street, and the breeze slowly blew the ends of their hair, bringing softness.
Yesterday's storm seemed like a dream, and the city was once again shrouded in bright sunshine, the sky was as clear as a wash, and the appropriate shade of blue cloth was occasionally dotted with a white cloud, quiet and beautiful.
"No, Yaya, she didn't want to stay with me in the first place." Jiang Jiazhu touched his head and showed a mouthful of big white teeth stupidly.
"Do you like Qin Ya?" Jiang Jiazhu smiled, becoming more and more honest: "Yes." It didn't seem polite to continue to dwell on this topic, Bai Yao looked left and right, and kicked the pebbles on the road for a while.
"Have you sealed a lot of strange beasts?"
"Well, there are probably a dozen of them, but now that the seal of the Mountain and Sea Alien Beast Record is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid that soon those extremely powerful alien beasts will come out, and we are already looking for other ways." Jiang Jiazhu's face became solemn when he said this, and the naΓ―ve spirit disappeared.
"Something else?" Bai Yao was puzzled.
"Here we are."
"Huh?" Bai Yao and Jiang Jiazhu stopped together, in front of them was a towering building, and when they looked up, they could only see a dense glass window like fish scales, like a standing glass monster.
The top of the glass window is inlaid with large red letters: Huarong Co., Ltd.
"Hu Sanrong started from scratch when he was young, and now his company has been involved in the three major industries of jewelry, daily chemicals and electronics, and its assets in its heyday can rank among the top three in the entire Sunset City." Bai Yao listened to Jiang Jiazhu's explanation, looked at the building in front of him and lost his mind: "This is Hu Sanrong's company?" β
"No, to be exact, it's the nine-tailed fox now." Jiang Jiazhu's face was awe-inspiring: "You don't know my ability yet, right?" Bai Yao turned her head suspiciously, but when she turned her head, her face changed greatly, and her pupils instantly narrowed.
The surroundings were empty, and you could still see the neatly arranged trees on both sides of the street and the high-rise buildings in the distance, but Jiang Jiazhu had long since disappeared.
"Jiang Jiazhu?" Bai Yao shouted in disbelief. Jiang Jiazhu's figure slowly appeared in the air under her nose.
"My ability is invisibility, and I'm responsible for finding out the news." Jiang Jiazhu smiled gently at Bai Yao: "Are you ready?" It's time to get to work. β
