Chapter 174: Found
After dinner, Gong Piqing and Hades stood on the balcony of this family and looked out the window, the yellow light emanating from each house illuminated the snow outside, and everything was as beautiful as their Chinese New Year's Eve on earth.
For Hades, every Chinese New Year's Eve, the Mill Institute will provide a hot dumpling to the overtime staff, and the dumplings will eat some processed notes, which are the additional rewards of the Mill Institute for their overtime workers; As for the Gong Pi Celebration, he feels that it is like Christmas in Xiguan Renai Mental Hospital, because last year's Christmas was also snowing heavily, and the huge Christmas tree was hung with colorful lights, and he and other patients gathered around the Christmas tree, waiting for the nurses on duty to give them Christmas gifts......
In short, the scene in front of them is a scene that can make people forget their troubles, and the warmth brought to them by this family is really like their own home.
The two of them stood on the balcony and looked out together, one wanting to connect what they had experienced since they came to the Demon Realm, and the other wanting to ask the family if they knew the monster in a proper way.
Eventually, Hades read Gong Piqing's meaning and gently touched him on the shoulder, "If you want to ask, just ask, maybe the people here know what it is." ”
Gong Piqing was a little helpless, "How can I ask...... They don't understand what I'm saying, how do they know what I'm saying? ”
Hades did not speak, turned around and gestured with his eyes to the two children, a man and a woman, who should also be in kindergarten or elementary school, and were now gathered around a table, drawing on paper with colored pencils.
"You asked me to draw it for them?" Gong Piqing felt that he understood the meaning of the Hades.
Hades shook his head, and took out a piece of paper from behind him, and on the paper was the appearance of the monster drawn with a black colored pen, although it was drawn with a children's colored pen and a separate color, but the painting reflected all the characteristics of the monster, and it was like pasting the picture of the monster on the paper!
Gong Piqing was so shocked that his mouth subconsciously grew into a circle, he didn't know when the Hades King finished painting this picture, and the Hades then handed the paper to Gong Piqing's hand, "I'm mute, you go, don't say anything, take this painting to them, if they know each other, they can judge what it is from their expressions." ”
Gong Piqing hesitated, "In case this is not a good thing, will it scare them if I show them this painting?" Or do they make them think we have bad intentions? ”
Hades sighed and said from his consciousness: "Otherwise, there is no way, if you don't ask, we may never know what that monster is, although it hasn't chased it yet, but I always have a hunch that it won't let us go, if you ask now, maybe it is possible to solve this puzzle, so we can only bet and make a bet with the goddess of fate." ”
Gong Piqing hesitated a little, and almost walked out of the balcony with the painting several times, but he eventually retreated.
"If you want to go, it's up to you, I won't say more, the painting is in your hands, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't figure out what the monster is in the end, anyway, it has nothing to do with our mission, at most we will set off the next day after sleeping here, don't forget that what we have to do is to be Columbus in the demon world, the sooner we finish visiting the country of machines, the sooner we can go back, and we can avoid the pursuit of that monster one day earlier, if that monster can chase and kill us to Earth...... Hmph, I'll call them both together to teach this thing a lesson! ”
Although the Hades King has already said so, Gong Piqing still looks like he can't make up his mind, in fact, if this family is just a passer-by relationship with them, he will take it out, the big deal is to scare strangers, and then he didn't ask anything, but now, this family is like a benefactor to Gong Piqing, Gong Piqing doesn't want to bring trouble to his benefactor, because for him, painting this monster is like a source of disaster.
"They should have cleaned up our beds, aren't you going to sleep?" In the end, Gong Piqing didn't plan to show the painting to the family, but chose another topic.
"If you're tired, go to sleep, I can't sleep, I have to keep an eye on this neighborhood at all times, if that monster catches up, we have to evacuate as soon as possible, we must not cause trouble to this family, the population density here is too large, and the battle must not happen here." Hades said to him unconsciously.
"Then you won't rest all night......" Gong Piqing didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by the Hades King: "Okay, don't worry about me, you go and rest, let's take shifts, you rest now, and when I get tired during the day the next day, I will squint a little for a while, and then you will keep an eye on me." ”
After saying that, he gently pushed Gong Piqing and pushed him into the living room behind the balcony.
After Gong Piqing arrived in the living room, he happened to meet the woman who came out of the bedroom, their home must be a three-bedroom and a living room design, and the two children have always slept in separate beds, but today in order to leave a place for them to spend the night, the two children were deliberately squeezed into a bed, and a small bed was vacated for them to sleep, and now the woman has just cleaned up the bed for them, although Gong Piqing still doesn't understand what she said, but her gesture has clearly stated that she wants Gong Piqing to go in and see if she is not satisfied.
Gong Piqing's face was immediately replaced with a bright smile, he stretched out his hand to express his gratitude, but only to find that he was still holding the painting in his hand, the man had just come out of the kitchen after brushing the dishes and chopsticks, and as soon as he came out, he saw Gong Piqing holding the painting next to his head, and the eyes of the couple immediately gathered on the painting.
Gong Piqing froze directly, at this time he really wanted to slap himself in the face and ask himself why he didn't plan to ask the secret of the couple's painting, but why did he still hold this piece of paper in his hand!
He subconsciously stuffed the paper into a ball of waste paper and stuffed it into his pocket, and the woman whispered something that he couldn't understand, and he couldn't guess what she was saying from the woman's expression.
He seemed to run into the bedroom, this bedroom looked like the little boy's room, the small desk and the lamp were all blue, the couple in order to leave a place for the two of them to spend the night, the couple did not hesitate to vacate their children's bedroom for them, not to mention whether the family was worried about whether they would be unclean or something, even the well-behaved little boy did not express dissatisfaction with this, and even played rock-paper-scissors with Gong Piqing during the meal- This is probably the only place where they can communicate normally......
Eventually, Gong Piqing leaned against the closet, and he wanted to vent his incompetence by shouting, but he couldn't, because the couple gave him a sense of home for the first time.
It's just that the feeling of his house hasn't warmed up yet, and a sound from outside the door has made his nerves pwitch.
His heart calmed down suddenly, and he tried his best to listen to the sound of heavy footsteps coming from outside the door, they were now on the third floor, and the footsteps sounded like they should be on the first or second floor, the sound sounded heavy but slow, as if a bear child had to step down every step up, but he could also hear that the sound was not deliberately stepped on by some child, the person who made this sound was terrifyingly weighted, and it seemed to be deliberately covering up its steps.
"Did you hear that? Footsteps! Hades's voice suddenly came out of his head, and he leaned against the closet behind him with a slap.
"Hear me! Heard it! I hear you very well here! He replied with consciousness.
After saying that, he rushed out of the door in a panic, and as soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw the Hades running out of the balcony.
Hades was facing the door, staring at the door, the heavy but slow footsteps were getting closer and closer, how could it not sound like a normal person, because if it was a normal person, who could go up the stairs so leisurely?
It's clearly the sound of a hunter approaching his prey, and the hunter believes that he has something to do with it, so he deliberately slows down because he wants to enjoy the fear of his prey at the end of his life!
The couple was attracted by the sound of Hades running over just now, and the woman came over and tugged at the corner of Hades' coat, as if to ask him what was wrong and why he was so nervous.
But now, the footsteps sounded like they were almost on the third floor, and the ground under their feet shook every time the sound sounded, and if there were some grumpy people in this building, they would have opened the door and cursed into the stairwell.
"I saw it, it's it, ready to fight, to protect the safety of those around me at all costs!" Hades's voice suddenly appeared from Gong Piqing's mind, and in an instant, Gong Piqing's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had locked on the monster outside the door who was raising the iron hook against them.
In the next second, the iron door and the plywood door shattered instantly, and the heavy huge iron hook flew towards them with the sound of death breaking the wind, and the couple was thrown aside by Gong Piqing before they could come to their senses, and behind him, the Hades were controlling the heavy iron hook with his mental power, and the iron hook was suspended about twenty or thirty kilometers away in front of him, and it looked like it was almost hitting the Hades in the chest.
Gong Piqing raised his head and saw that the Hades King was also looking at him with a difficult face, "Why are you still stunned, come over and help!" There's something wrong with this hook! Will fly forward on its own! ”
