Recalling the shops she had seen on the shopping street, Ran Mingzhu actually fell asleep in the room of this strange hotel, and she had a very shallow dream, in which she chased the figure of a man in black, and she couldn't see his face clearly, because the man had a very strange clown mask on his face.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock at the door, not loud but urgent. She was pleasantly surprised from her dream, and first subconsciously looked around, only to recall that she was already in the demon world at this moment.

She shook her head, trying to sober up, then walked to the door and whispered, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Little Flower!" The voice of the cat demon girl came from outside the door.

When Ran Mingzhu heard this, she quickly opened the door, and she and the cat demon girl looked at each other and smiled very tacitly. But the smile was still on her face, and she remembered that she had forgotten to cover her face with her hat, and now her appearance was completely reflected in the eyes of the cat demon girl.

"You are ......" The word human did not pop out of the cat demon girl's mouth, she covered her mouth so as not to make too much noise due to being too surprised, and then beckoned to Ran Mingzhu and said, "Follow me!" ”

Ran Mingzhu walked down from the third floor with her, and there was really no hotel owner at the counter, and the guests in the lobby didn't know when they all dispersed, leaving only a few small lights to illuminate at this time, and the whole hotel seemed to be asleep.

The two of them made it to the backyard without any problems, and the warehouse she had always dreamed of getting into finally appeared in front of her.

"Thank you!" Ran Mingzhu nodded at the cat demon girl and said.

"The boss shouldn't come to the counter for two or three hours from now, but you have to hurry up, he's often nervous!" The cat demon girl said playfully, then took the key out of her waist pocket and opened the lock on the warehouse door.

Ran Mingzhu walked into the warehouse, and the cat demon girl did not follow her in, but closed the door again. Seeing that she didn't want to disturb her, she heard her footsteps slowly walking away, and then Mingzhu put her mind at ease and lit the small lamp hanging from her waist to find the entrance to the secret passage.

Because Ouyang Xiaoleng had marked the specific location of the entrance and exit of the secret passage to Dong Muya after finding the secret passage, she had already memorized them, and naturally it was easy to find the movable floor at the entrance.

She pushed the floor and jumped into the secret passage, the small lamp hanging from her waist brighter in the cramped space. She walked all the way down, and after walking for a while, she entered the flat body of the secret passage.

The walls of the secret passage are made of stone, and the air inside is a little thin and damp, with occasional droplets of water dripping down, and you can faintly smell some strange smells, like rusty metal. It's so quiet and the echo is so good that the sound of water droplets, breathing, and footsteps is amplified indefinitely.

Walking alone in such a place, it seems impossible to say that you are not afraid, but the excitement and anticipation in Mingzhu's heart drive the fear away from her heart. She felt that everything was going too well, and it seemed to be a sign that she was destined to be reunited with her father and bring him back home in Japan.

For as long as she could remember, she had never seen her mother smile when she was awake. Her mother only occasionally smiled in her dreams, and when she grew up, she guessed that it must be because she dreamed of spending time with her father.

Directly opposite her, another light flashed by, she thought it was just a hallucination, but soon she realized that it was there. The other party may have panicked at her appearance, and paused for a moment before starting to quickly retreat.

Ran Mingzhu took out a charm from his pocket and shouted, "Who are you?!" ”

In the secret passage, her voice continued to echo, which also made her bolder, and if she used the charm here, it would definitely increase a lot.

But the man did not answer her question, nor did he intend to stop, but fled faster in the opposite direction to her.

"Who are you?! You stop me!! Otherwise, you're welcome!! Ran Mingzhu didn't know where to get the courage, silently reciting a spell to conjure a waiter in the form of a big dog.

The big dog ran down the secret passage, chasing the flickering light source in front of him, and the owner of the light source stopped running away after seeing the big dog, but stopped.

I saw him raise his hand suddenly, and I don't know what kind of spell was used, which instantly made Ran Mingzhu's waiter start to spontaneously combust, and finally turned into the spell just now, but the edge of the spell has been burned. As soon as he shook his head, he extinguished the lamp he was carrying, and disappeared in the darkness.

There was only the sound of Ran Mingzhu's footsteps in the secret passage, but she didn't want to give up, but continued to move forward. She came to the place where the big dog attendant had been set on fire, and next to her broken charm, she was surprised to find another charm.

The man had not used a spell, but the same spell as her, which only the Demon Hunter knew how to use, and although the spell was also broken, the pattern on it was still faintly recognizable.

"Father!" Ran Mingzhu blurted out.

She was sure that this spell came from her father, Ran Tianyou, and who else could draw the spell so accurately. My mother has long said that although my father's talent and ability are not the strongest among demon hunters, he is definitely able to give full play to the knowledge he has mastered, and his hard work and rigor are beyond anyone's ability. She picked up the charm, carefully put it away, and continued to speed up her pace until she reached the exit at the other end of the secret passage.

After finding the trap and opening the exit, she exited the secret passage. But what greeted her was only the bright moon in the purple sky, and the figure she had been waiting for for a long time did not appear.

This must have been outside the royal city, full of bushes and huge rocks, but her mood was more desolate than this. She stood there, spinning in circles, feeling dizzy and not knowing what to do.

If he had been able to detect that the man in black was most likely his father and call out his name, he might have been able to keep him. But all this can only be if, that may be the figure of the father has long disappeared without a trace. She unconsciously touched her pocket, convinced that the spell was still there, and that it was a proof that everything that had just happened was real, and not just a hallucination of hers.

Father, there must still be somewhere.

Ran Mingzhu returned to the secret passage and returned to the Sparrow Hotel along the same path, and her whole heart felt empty. What she didn't expect was that the cat demon girl was waiting for her outside the old warehouse.

Seeing her, the girl showed surprise on her face and said, "Thank God, I saw that you never came out, so I came to look for you in the old warehouse, but you were not there, and I was worried about whether something happened to you." ”

At this time, seeing the pure face of the cat demon girl Yu Xiaohua made Ran Mingzhu feel very kind, and she hugged the girl and cried.

The cat demon girl patted her on the shoulder, took her by the arm, led her back to the hotel, and led her into a small basement in the hotel. There is only a small lamp in the basement, and the space is small but cozy, where there is a small table and a small chair in addition to a bunk bed.

She let Ran Mingzhu sit on the lower bunk, and then gently pedaled up the ladder and patted the person who was sleeping on the upper bunk with his head covered. A pair of cat ears that were exactly the same as her came out of the quilt, and by the light, Ran Mingzhu saw that it was a very cute cat demon boy, the freckles on his face were particularly cute, and his round and big eyes were very similar to Yu Xiaohua.

"Sister, why are you waking me up?!" The cat demon boy complained, and then suddenly realized that there were other people in the house, and he pointed at Ran Mingzhu and shouted, "She...... Who is she?! ”

"It's my friend, don't worry about it so much! You go to the kitchen to make a cup of milk tea, and use the tea leaves we brought from Miancheng. When the cat demon girl spoke to her brother, her tone became stern.

"Yes!" The cat demon boy was surprisingly obedient, jumped from the bunk to the ground in a very light manner, rubbed his eyes that were still a little worried, and walked out of the room.

After a while, a smell came from outside the door, and then the boy walked in with a cup of hot milk tea. Seeing his sister pointing to the girl who came with her, he nodded and handed her the milk tea.

"Drink! Drink it and you'll be in a better mood! The cat demon girl smiled and said to Ran Mingzhu.

Ran Mingzhu took a sip of the warm cup, she had never drunk such a sweet and delicious milk tea, whether it was the taste of the tea or the concentration of the milk, it was just right, and the proportion of the blend must be very particular, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to make such a delicious milk tea.

She reacted that the cat demon girl and her brother were just staring at herself enjoying the sweet milk tea, but they didn't make a cup of the same for themselves, so she asked, "Why don't you drink it?" ”

"Because you need milk, if you take too much, your boss will find out." The cat demon girl explained.

"I'll buy it for you!" Ran Mingzhu blurted out that she was just about to pay for it.

The cat demon girl shook her head and said, "Although we are poor, we are definitely not beggars, and we stayed in this hotel so that we could have a place to stay and find our savior." ”

Ran Mingzhu then understood why the cat demon girl refused to accept her money before, so she said to her: "Friends can also give gifts, if there are good things, they will share them together, this is not out of my pity for you." Although it was the first time we had met, for some reason there was an indescribable sense of intimacy in you. ”

"I'm sorry, we are from Miancheng, we don't know much about these truths, and we misunderstood your kindness!" The cat demon girl said apologetically.

"Don't call me you...... Just call me Pearl, Pearl is my name! ”
