Chapter I

Next Chapter

At night, a woman with a roll of parchment came to an old street in the center of City X. At this time, the old street seems to have fallen asleep with the night, and most of the shops on both sides of the street have maintained the decoration of the old Republic of China, but now the doors are closed, revealing a strange silence.

Lu Qiao'er is only in her early twenties, dressed casually, wearing a black peaked cap on her head, a pair of charming Danfeng eyes hidden under her broken hair, red lips and white teeth, a little thin, those deep eyes look ahead, I don't know what I am thinking.

"Damn! What about the museum? ”

After seeing the situation in front of her clearly, Lu Qiaoer picked up the parchment roll in her hand again in disbelief and looked at it a few times, the soothing evening breeze blew through her ears along the corner of her eye, picking up the sideburns on both sides, and it was also a beautiful picture.

It's just that as soon as the words came out, the image of a beautiful woman plummeted, but there was a kind of boy's heartiness.

Lu Qiaoer is an orphan, and after the death of her adopted grandmother, she was left with only an old building that could barely live in her, and this letter was picked up in front of the old building, and it was packed in an envelope, which was only marked "Lu Qiaoer".

She was born with yin and yang eyes, able to see things that ordinary people can't see, and she has been fatherless and motherless since she was a child, so she has been abused and disliked by her peers. In order to make herself look no different from ordinary people, she gradually developed an arrogant and uninhibited appearance, but in fact an indifferent temperament, and hid her true emotions under a mask. In this way, she didn't have a close friend until she graduated from college.

So in this case, Lu Qiaoer really couldn't think of anyone who did such a prank.

Although I don't know who sent it, Lu Qiaoer still brought it home.

After Lu Qiao'er opened the envelope she picked up, it contained this parchment roll and a note.

"Dear Miss Lu Qiao'er: I am Su Ze, the entruster of your parents, and I am entrusted by your parents to hand over a collection to you, please go to No. 10 Liming Road with a parchment roll at ten o'clock the night after tomorrow, and I will be waiting for you there."

Originally, Lu Qiaoer didn't believe that there were still good things in the world that fell off pies, and besides, he was an orphan, so how could he suddenly come up with such a collection and hand it over to him.

Looking at the note, Lu Qiaoer laughed disdainfully, and directly threw the note and wool rolls into the trash.

However, now Lu Qiao'er was holding the parchment scroll that should have been discarded by her, and arrived as promised according to the time on the note.

"I was definitely not attracted by the museum, I just came to find out the news of my parents."

Lu Qiao'er comforted herself like this, as if this could eliminate the only bit of shame left in her heart. But as soon as the words came out, they were blown away by the evening breeze and disappeared into the night, so fast that people couldn't catch them.

She was more cautious, and after getting the envelope before, she began to look for information, but in the end she found that there was no place at No. 10 Liming Road on the map, which caused Lu Qiaoer to wonder if she had made a mistake. But the sonorous notes on the note seemed to indicate to her that the owner of the letter had no hesitation at the time.

In the end, Lu Qiaoer learned through the mouths of some old people that No. 10 Liming Road was hidden in the old street of X City.

It's just that Lu Qiao'er didn't notice that behind a towering tree not far from her, a pair of cold eyes had been staring at her for a long time.

"You are Lu Qiao'er, the daughter of Teacher Lu in Lu Fengcheng, right?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from behind Lu Qiao'er, a little hoarse and at the same time with a hint of indescribable charm. Lu Qiao'er looked back, and she didn't know when there was a person standing behind her.

The man looked like he was in his thirties, with a pair of peach blossom eyes on his sharpened face, extremely thin lips, and a slightly upturned corner of his mouth just right. The figure is not tall, wearing a white tuxedo suit and a white hat, which looks very strange under the shroud of this dark night.

Letting Lu Qiao'er look herself up and down there, Su Ze didn't show any impatience at all. It's just that the smile on his face all the time and the slightly narrowed eyes are like an invisible mask, which makes people can't see any flaws, and at the same time looks a little weird.

Somehow, Su Ze's appearance actually made Lu Qiaoer feel like an old fox.

"Yes, you are Su Ze who asked me to come this time?"

Lu Qiao'er frowned slightly, and her tone was very unkind, a large part of which was due to cover her weakness.

In fact, she didn't know who her real father was, let alone his father's name.

"Yes, then I'll go straight to the topic, Miss Lu, please follow me."

Xu is himself is a character who does not like to talk much, and in the face of Lu Qiaoer's inquiry, Su Ze only gave a simple answer, turned around first, and took the lead into an alley on the left, and the reason for the deep night was that he couldn't see what was in the alley.

A hint of vigilance flashed in Lu Qiao'er's eyes, and she followed up only to find that there was a deep path hidden inside.

It's so mysterious, isn't it just a façade for this museum?

Lu Qiao'er thought like this, but her face was still the same, but she was a little more vigilant in her heart, and she secretly clenched the dagger hidden in her pocket.

"Miss Lu, don't be nervous, this collection is only a long time old, so the environment in which it is located is so different."

I don't know why, Su Ze, who was walking in front, suddenly said this, as if he was explaining the doubts in Lu Qiao'er's heart just now. But Lu Qiao'er was sure that he didn't say that at all during the whole process, and Su Ze didn't look back, so how did he know?

Lu Qiao'er coughed lightly and did not answer.

The trail is long and narrow, barely wide enough for two adults to walk side by side. Surrounded by towering stone walls, the old street is crowded with people every day, but this remote corner is really hard to notice.

The two of them were silent, walking one after the other, and the sound of the occasional step on the loose stone slab on their feet seemed a little abrupt in the silence of the night. Su Ze walked very slowly, and Lu Qiao'er couldn't help but slow down his pace when he saw this.

I don't know why, in this case, Lu Qiaoer has always had the feeling that someone is following them.

At first, Lu Qiao'er thought it was Su Ze, but after Su Ze appeared, the feeling still lingered.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of gentle footsteps behind him, Lu Qiaoer's ears moved, and at the same time, his eyes rolled to the lower right corner without a trace, and he felt a strong air flow coming towards him.

It's just that when Lu Qiao'er turned around abruptly and turned on the small flashlight she took out of her pocket, her back was empty, as if it was just an illusion on her part.

What the hell is this place so wicked?

A gust of cold wind hit, and Lu Qiao'er suddenly shivered.

"Miss Lu, is there something wrong?"

Lu Qiao'er turned her head again and saw that Su Ze didn't know when he stopped, and was standing there looking at herself, with that decent smile on her face.

It's just that after seeing too much of that smiling face, Lu Qiao'er felt disgusted.
