Chapter 20: The Golden Goblin (18)
"Eh, there's something here. Just when Victoria and Eren were silent, Ai Yue, who was idle on the side, suddenly shouted.
Ai Lian looked towards Ai Yue, but because the light in the room was not very good, his vision was a little blurry. I just vaguely saw Ai Yue running towards Ai Lian with a stack of papers in her hand.
Ai Yue handed the things in her hand to Ai Lian, and then sat down gently beside Victoria.
"Well, where did you find this?"
I flipped through the yellowed paper in my hand, and it turned out to be some newspapers that had been issued before.
"Ah, I found it in the next room, stacked neatly on the table. Ai Yue replied casually, and by the way, she took out a pack of small snacks from her pocket and ate them one by one.
"Well, where are you hiding this cookie? Ai Lian was a little speechless, and always felt that Ai Yue had been eating more and more recently, was that the one coming?
"It's a girl's. Secret. Dense. Ai Yue shoved the biscuit in her hand into Victoria's hand, and then cutely stuck out her tongue and said to Ai Lian.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you. Ai Lian sighed, anyway, the dim sum was bought for Ai Yue, he didn't eat such fancy gadgets.
Two girls sit on the bed, you and I share small snacks one by one.
Eileen sat alone at the table, flipping through the yellowed newspaper in his hand repeatedly.
"The Great Thieves Regiment Wanted for Ten Years, the Siamese Cat Thieves Regiment is finally caught!"
"The leader of the Siamese Cat Thieves Gang Miluo Cat is still missing!"
"Shocked! The treasure looted by the Siamese cat thieves in ten years is gone! According to incomplete statistics, this treasure is enough to buy a small kingdom!"
There was a whole stack of newspapers, and only the news about the Siamese cat thieves was cut out, leaving only the headlines one by one.
"This... Eren covered her face, letting the fragments of her head gradually converge.
"No... One more piece of shard... No, two?" After a moment of contemplation, Eren gradually sorted out the fragments he had gathered so far.
"What fragments?" Ailian's voice reached Ai Yue's ears, startling Ai Lian.
Ai Lian waved her hand and didn't say anything, after all, she couldn't understand it when she told Ai Yue.
"This is the newspaper of five years ago... An emotionless, cold voice came, and before she knew it, Victoria was already standing behind Elian.
"Wow... Alan was startled, "Victoria, don't be so scary!"
Victoria ignored Allen, but stared straight at the newspaper in Allen's hand.
"What's wrong? you know what's going on? Siamese Cat Thieves written on it?" Allen frowned when he saw Victoria's brow, as if he remembered some bad memory.
"A little. Victoria said briefly.
After spending a long time with Victoria, Eren has become a little accustomed to Victoria's way of speaking. Once she entered that state of being unattended, it represented that Victoria was thinking now.
"It's reliable. Eren looked at Victoria, who had her head down, not knowing what to think, although she didn't know where to start, but she just felt a little relieved.
No longer staring at Victoria, Eren turned her head and saw Ai Yue, who was already lying on the bed, her snow-white calves peeking out of her slightly rolled up skirt.
"I haven't been reassured here. Ai Lian said, covering his head.
"What's wrong?" Ai Yue asked, sensing Ai Lian's gaze, tilting her head.
"Clothes are going to get dirty. Ai Lian nodded Ai Yue's little head and said. "I'm not going to wash it for you anymore. β
"Ehβwhy? Isn't Eren my husband? Isn't it natural for a husband to help his wife do the laundry?"
"Not really!" said Elian, who hurried out of the room, ready to take a look at the rest of the small building.
As for Victoria, she won't be gone now.
With Ai Yue by her side, Ai Lian was not worried.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
On the third floor, the dust here is even more choking. With a wipe of his hand, Alan can bring up a large cloud of dust.
"This must be the attic. Elian said to himself.
It's said to be an attic, but it's more like a warehouse. However, using an entire floor as a warehouse is a bit of a luxury.
But in Ellen's sight, there was nothing.
The entire third floor seemed to have been completely emptied, empty, with nothing but dust raised from time to time.
"Even if you move, it can't be cleaner than this. After inspecting the back and forth, Elian regretted to find that there was really nothing here.
A blank third floor?
Eren seemed to think of something again, but what was it?
The bits and pieces in his head seemed to be mixed together, which gave Elian a little headache.
"No, I can't put it together, the two most important pieces are missing. "Eren finally gave up thinking, and when he really couldn't think of it, Eren didn't intend to die, it would only make him more confused.
Just as Eren was about to leave, Ai Yue's screams came from the second floor.
Yikesβββββββββ
"Not good!" Eren's heart moved, and he snatched the door and went straight to the second floor.
"What's wrong?" Before Ai Lian could run to the room where Ai Yue and Victoria were before, he saw that Ai Yue and Victoria had already run out of the room.
The two of them were running towards Elian, as if they were dodging something.
"There... There's something in that room!" Ai Yue hid behind Eren's back with a snort, and although Victoria didn't say anything, her whole face turned pale with fright.
Unlike the fair cheeks of normal days, Victoria's cheeks are now more of a colorless pale.
"Thing, bugs?" said Ai Lian, taking the hands of the two of them, and slowly reassured.
Ai Yue hates bugs the most, this is something Ai Lian knows, but she didn't expect to hate it to this extent.
"It's not that kind of thing! Although the bugs are scary, the things in it are more annoying than the bugs. Ai Yue whispered with a slight tremble.
Victoria on the side also shook her little head according to Ai Yue's words, and the white wide-brimmed top hat with lace ruffles on her head also swayed gently with her owner's mood.
Even Victoria, who has been expressionless and doesn't care about anything, has something to be afraid of.
To be honest, Elian suddenly felt the urge to go into the room and see what was inside.
Even the demons of the abyss will exude a unique red glow.
