"Uncle Duncan, I'm going to school!"

Nina staggered down the stairs to a cheerful greeting, turned and waved in the direction of the second floor, and then ran towards the gate.

The day off is over, and today is the day to go to school again.

But before she could reach the door, Nina suddenly stopped, and she saw a figure shaking behind the shelves not far ahead, and a figure came out, it was Shirley.

"Ah, Shirley," Nina stood up happily and beckoned to the girl in front of her, "I said where you have been, and are you going to leave?"

"Together?" Shirley blinked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"Go to school, it's ten today..." Nina said subconsciously, but reacted halfway through, with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, "Ah, sorry, I forgot....

Shirley wasn't her classmate, she wasn't in school, and the previous pleasant experience of getting along on campus was just a scene, Nina knew it, but it was something that really happened, and many times, she would still forget.

The expression on Shirley's face also became strange for a while, and her eyes showed apologies again, but she quickly recovered and shook her head gently: "I won't go with you, I'm in that school... The 'investigative activity' has been completed.

"Yes," Nina pursed her lips, quickly returning to her usual smiling appearance, "I'm sorry, I forgot." Then I'll go first?"

Hmm," Shirley nodded, but then added, as if remembering something, "yes, Nina,.... I'm going home today.

"Home?" Nina was stunned for a moment, it seemed that only two days had passed, and she had taken Shirley as a member of the place as a matter of course, so much so that she couldn't react when the other party mentioned the word "go home", "You're not here?"

"I have to go home, I'm only staying here temporarily," Shirley said, waving her hand, saying what she wanted to say a long time ago, "I told Mr. Duncan too, and he agreed."

Nina didn't say anything for a while, just a little dazed, and only hesitated after a few seconds to speak: "That.. Will you come back later? ”

But if you can, you really don't want to come in the future, and even want to steal a ticket to run to avoid the limelight.

The idea of running away from the bottom of her heart appeared in Shirley's mind for a moment, but then she seemed to feel a sight falling on her through the floor on the second floor, and she quickly subconsciously shrunk her neck: .... I'll come to you when I have a chance in the future, after all, my house is not far away, ha, haha."

Nina tilted her head, for some reason she always thought Shirley's reaction was strange for a moment, but soon she didn't think much of it, she was happy again, because the other party promised to "come to me when you have the opportunity", so she waved her hand happily, turned around and ran out of the door like a gust of wind, and disappeared into the street outside the antique store.

Shirley watched a little stunned as Nina ran away with a gust of wind, and after a moment it suddenly reacted and realized that there was a figure standing on the stairs not far away, looking at her calmly.

She quickly turned around and bowed in greeting with a politeness rarely seen in her life: "... Good morning, Mr. Duncan!"

"You're much more polite now, that's what a girl your age should look like," Duncan said lightly, slowly walking down the stairs, "Tell Nina?" You're going home today?

”.... Explain it," Shirley lowered her head, and didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear that the big guy would regret what he said if he was unhappy, "You also agreed, I can leave today." “

"Why are you nervous again? Yesterday was fine, can your nervousness reset every morning?" Duncan shook his head with a smile, stepped forward and patted Shirley's slightly thin shoulder, "Relax, I never said that I would confine you somewhere, I just invited you to be a guest here for two days, and you can naturally go back when you want to go back, and you can come at any time when you want to come."

"I ..... I see," Shirley nodded repeatedly, and then a little helplessly. Actually, I'm not so nervous, it's that the dog is nervous all the time, as long as you get close, it's instinctively nervous, and then its nervousness will be transmitted to me.

"Ahh Well, it can't be helped, its nervousness seems to stem from the Dark Demon's keen sense," Duncan shrugged, then looked at Shirley again, "But don't you really think about it?" You can stay here. The place where you and your dog live seems to be a little shabby, and it's not safe enough after dark, but it's a very safe place in comparison. ”

A subspace shadow said that his lair was a safe place, which was both reasonable and outrageous, but Shirley couldn't find a point to refute this sentence after thinking for a long time (mainly because she didn't have the courage to refute it), so she could only let out a string of smirks in the end: .. Ahaha...

That one...!

Forget it, I'll just say that, don't get entangled," Duncan knew what was going on as soon as he saw the other party's reaction, he waved his hand, "Go if you want, anyway, you already know how to connect with me now, if you find any new clues about those Sun Cultists, remember to call me at any time."

Shirley nodded silently.

After two days of dreaming, she finally got permission to leave here, a chance to get away from this terrible being, but when this opportunity did appear.... But she suddenly found herself at a loss.

Chatting with a "friend", living under the watchful eye of an "elder", a warm bedroom, bright lights, good food, and a peaceful life without having to fear nightmares or hide from the guardians.

Now, she has been cleared to leave.

For some reason, Shirley had a ridiculous idea-

A bright world briefly opened its doors to her, and now, the door was closing.

Obviously, not so long ago, this was a fact that she dreamed of, and now it is, she. It's just that.. Somewhat tangled.

In the midst of the psychic connection, she suddenly heard the dog's whispered muttering, "Our lives are going to get back on track, Shirley."

"yes, it's time to get back on track.

Shirley muttered softly in her head, and then she looked up to say goodbye to Mr. Duncan.

But at this moment, the expression on Duncan's face suddenly changed slightly.

In the dark, he sensed a flash of breath in the distance, which... One of his markes!

"Mr. Duncan?" Shirley noticed the sudden serious expression on the other party's face, and she suddenly became a little nervous.

"I sensed a breath," Duncan whispered without waiting for Shirley to finish, he looked up into the distance, "it seems to be coming from that direction."

Shirley didn't react for a moment: "A breath?"

"It was a little fire that I left for that little bug," Duncan lowered his head slightly, looking into Shirley's eyes, "Do you remember the umbrella freak who attacked you at the edge of the dream?"

Shirley was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened suddenly: "Is that the piece you put home?" .... But that's not in the dream world... ”

"Yes, that's the attacker in the dream world," Duncan's tone became meaningful, "but now I perceive that mark in the real world. “

Shirley glared, and she suddenly remembered what Mr. Duncan had said to herself in that nightmare:

Perhaps, it wasn't just a dream.

Shirley," Duncan's voice suddenly came, interrupting the girl's memories, and he lowered his head slightly, with a smile on his face, "Before you go home, will you go check with me again?" Of course if you don't ....."

"Go! Shirley replied without waiting for the other party to finish, so resolute that even she was startled, and then as if to relieve the embarrassment, she explained, ".. That thing appeared on the street after the fire, and it must have something to do with the fire......

Duncan pressed Shirley's shoulder: "Then let's go together."

"How do we get there?" Shirley inhaled softly, "Can you determine the exact location of that thing?" We're going to take the bus like last time......"

Duncan smiled and shook his head: "Now I have a more convenient way to get around.

Shirley was stunned for a moment, she was about to ask what the convenient mode of transportation was, and suddenly saw a shadow flying down from the staircase on the second floor, accompanied by a series of sharp and weird female voices: "To Erxian Bridge, take Chenghua Avenue.... . Big seat! There is a big seat in the back...

Melon seed drink mineral water! Put your feet on both sides!

The sudden appearance of the swift shadow and the sudden strange sound startled Shirley, and when she saw what it was, her eyes suddenly widened even wider than before: it was the strange pigeon! That pigeon can eat almost the same volume of fries as himself in one meal!

In the next second, under Shirley's stunned gaze, Ai Yi was already circling in the air one by one, green flames rising into the air in the air, and the white dove that was just a cute white dove a second ago turned into a terrifying spirit bone dove in the blink of an eye.

Shirley: "....!"

She stiffened her neck and turned her head, as if to confirm something with Duncan, but before she could speak, she felt a flower in front of her...

In the midst of Aya's constant pressing, "Big seat, big seat behind", the vortex like a flame door flashed, and in the next second, a swift white dove rushed out of the antique shop and flew straight into the distance.
