Chapter 102: Do you remember Lao Cao?
"Sister Yu, something is wrong."
Li Changan hurriedly called Ran Swordfish.
Since Xiao Fantasy's "Shadow Yan" pointed to Xiao Douding, and Xiao Douding said the information that the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil" was no longer in the Tranquility Society, then Li Changan definitely chose to trust.
Even if it is finally determined that this information is fake, it needs to be investigated.
"What?"
Ran Jianyu, who received Li Changan's call, was confused by his headless words.
However, she knew that Li Changan was not a purposeless person.
Since he said that there is a problem, I am afraid that this problem is not small.
"'Boundary Analysis Red Pupil' may be gone."
"How is that possible?!"
Ran Swordfish's voice on the phone suddenly became a few points higher.
"Better confirm." Li Changan said in a deep voice.
"Wait for me."
Ran Jianyu did not hesitate, and after replying with a short two words, he hung up the phone.
And Li Changan's movements also alarmed the rest of the Quiet Society.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Zhu, who was the most gossipy, saw Li Changan pacing in the basement hall for the first time, and couldn't help asking.
But Li Changan did not explain the reason to her.
Before it's completely decided, there's no need to panic and make everyone uneasy.
And after Baizhu, Lao He, who had just woken up, found Li Changan on the first and third floors, and also came to the basement.
"How?"
looked at Li Changan, who looked a little wrong, and looked towards Bai Zhu.
"I don't know. God babble. β
Bai Zhu blinked.
"Lao He, do you have one recently. I can't help but think of a familiar person, but every time I really want to remember him, I can't grasp the feeling? β
Seeing Lao He who appeared, Li Changan asked.
Hearing this, He Yongnan was stunned.
After rubbing it lightly against his chin twice, his expression gradually became serious.
Obviously, he feels the same way as Li Changan.
Originally, I thought it was just an illusion, but when both people have this feeling, there must be a problem.
"Yes?"
It's Bai Zhu, with an expression of "I don't understand what you're talking about".
Soon.
Ran Swordfish rushed back.
It seems that he came back on a caracal wolf, and he didn't put it away.
After seeing the three people in the basement, he said "follow me" and strode to the appliance room.
"Sister Yu, according to the rules, except for the captain, only the deacon is qualified to open the door of the utensils room, right?" Li Changan asked.
"Zou Ping?"
Ran Swordfish frowned and quickened his pace.
Coming to the appliance room, she quickly opened the door.
Soon, a few people saw a dark ball quietly placed on the table in the center of the appliance room.
Li Changan was stunned.
Still there?
Ran Swordfish looked at him with some surprise.
"What are you looking for?"
Bai Zhu couldn't help but ask curiously.
But immediately, Li Changan pursed his lips and strode towards the "boundary analysis red pupil".
"Chang'an, what are you doing?"
Lao He was startled, and just wanted to step forward to catch him, but was stopped by Ran Swordfish reaching out.
Saw.
Li Changan walked to the stage and stared at the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil" on it for three seconds.
Reach out and grab it.
It's not a phantom.
But in the stunned sight of the three people at the door, Li Changan smashed the ball in his hand to the ground without hesitation.
Click!
At the moment when the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil" touched the ground, it was like an ordinary glass ball, shattering into countless tiny glass slags.
"This"
"How is that possible?!"
Bai Zhu and Lao He couldn't help but lose their voices.
Li Changan turned to look at everyone with a calm face.
His eyes were bloodshot, his lips trembled, and he said in an extremely hoarse and dry voice:
"You guys. . . Remember Lao Cao? β
DiDi ββ!!
"Bastard!!"
He Yongnan frantically slapped the steering wheel of the van, constantly making an irritating and heavy honking sound.
Compared with the noise outside, the car insurance inside is unusually quiet at the moment, and it is a little weirdly quiet.
Xiao Huan, who was lying on Li Chang'an's lap, raised his head and looked at Li Changan cautiously, just looking at his expression, he couldn't see anything, and he seemed to be extremely calm.
But as his spirit animal, Xiao Fan can clearly feel that Li Changan's heart is like waves.
This inner fluctuation has even affected his "soul".
The "spiritual balance" in the consciousness space is trembling slightly.
But these seem to have been ignored by Li Changan.
The same was true of Ran Swordfish sitting next to him, and no one could tell what she was thinking at the moment.
Only Bai Zhu, who was sitting by the window on the other side, covered his eyes with his hands, and his body twitched.
The car finally started again.
But it didn't bring any relief to the people in the car.
"Meow."
Xiao Phantom whimpered softly, and his paws carefully pulled Li Changan's clothes twice.
Li Changan, who came back to his senses, also noticed the trembling of the "spiritual balance".
He took a deep breath and finally opened his mouth to break the eerie silence in the carriage.
But his voice was still hoarse.
No, it should be said more hoarse.
"I should have noticed it a long time ago, and when I came back from the last time I went to Lao Cao's house, I should have noticed it when I had doubts in my heart."
He did have a little skepticism at the time.
But when tempting Lao Cao, he cleverly used the simple and lame excuse of "adopting an orphan" that can find out the clues at a check, and dealt with it.
"It's better to say. It was a dereliction of duty on my part, the captain. β
As Li Changan broke the calm, Ran Swordfish also spoke.
How long has Li Changan joined, and how long has she known Lao Cao?
Even she couldn't notice anything, let alone Li Changan?
That day, Lao Cao asked her for leave, but she didn't notice it at all.
"Whew"
Bai Zhu, who was sitting on the other side of the Ran Sword Fish, Bai Zhu, who was biting his lip, finally couldn't control himself anymore and cried lowly.
And the cry is like a broken river embankment, completely out of control.
"Uh!!! Sister Yu!!! β
Bai Zhu hugged Ran Jianyu violently, "Old, old Cao, old Cao."
"It's okay, it's okay."
In the rearview mirror, He Yongnan showed a very ugly smile.
"It's still some, bamboo, not yet."
I just don't know if his words appease the bamboo, or appease himself.
Whewββ
Lao He slammed the steering wheel, and the car made a thrilling sharp turn.
Outside the car, there was the angry scolding of passers-by.
Not necessarily?
The sky grew darker, and wisps of dark clouds hung silently overhead.
The dilapidated sports car was parked in front of the old-fashioned residential building where Lao Cao lived.
Several people got out of the car one by one and looked up at the balcony upstairs.
Ran Swordfish controlled his emotions and walked straight to the corridor.
Li Changan put Xiao Phantom on his shoulder, and followed behind Ran Jianyu with Lao He and Bai Zhu.
Tuk, tuk, tuk.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Walk to the door of room 403.
Li Changan crossed the Ran swordfish and knocked lightly on the door.
Knock knock!
The dull sound did not bring a trace of ripple to the stagnant silence.
Boom! Boom! Knock knock!
Li Changan continued to knock, but still didn't get any feedback.
The four of them stood silently at the door and waited for a few minutes.
These few minutes have been so long for them.
"Or, perhaps, the 'Boundary Analysis Red Pupil' was taken by that guy from Zou Ping, and Lao, Lao Cao just, just skipped work" Bai Zhu whispered timidly.
But as he spoke, his voice faded away.
If it is Zou Ping, then why does everyone forget the existence of Lao Cao?
With such an ability and such an effect, a person appeared in Li Changan's mind.
Fei Chengqing, and his six-tailed spirit fox.
When facing the insect cocoon in the woods behind Yanzi Mountain in the west of the city, Fei Chengqing made it impossible for everyone to see the existence of the insect cocoon with just one sentence.
And Lao Cao, who is also a spirit beast master with the attribute of "knowledge", may have known the adage of "seeing is knowing, knowing is knowing".
It's just that with his ability, it shouldn't be enough to make everyone in the Tranquility Society forget about him.
But if you add "boundary analysis red pupils", it will be difficult to say.
"Who?"
After a long time, it seemed that because they had stood at the door for a long time and had not left, there was finally a voice from inside the door, an unfamiliar voice.
"Dad, who is it?"
"yes, Dad, who's coming?"
Immediately afterwards, there was the innocent voice of two children, a man and a woman.
Li Changan and Ran Swordfish glanced at each other.
"Mistaken?"
Bai Zhu rubbed his red eyes and said expectantly.
"Daddy doesn't know."
The man inside the door spoke again, and then said to them, "You are in the wrong place"
"Lao Cao."
Ran Swordfish directly interrupted his words.
The tone was calm, as usual, and there were no waves.
Inside the door, there was a sudden silence.
After a few more moments, a heavy, tired sigh came.
"Team fish, you're still here."
The familiar voice, like a finger, tugged at the heartstrings of the four people outside the door.
Smack
Hearing this familiar voice, tears dripped down Bai Zhu's smooth cheeks and fell to the ground, breaking into several petals.
"Lao Cao"
Bai Zhu's lips trembled and he shouted.
Bamboo, you're here too. I'll get my salary in two days. Lao Cao's voice was still full of exhaustion.
"Good, good!"
Bai Zhu bit his lip and nodded heavily.
"Fish team, Chang'an, Lao He, I'm a little tired, I just want to rest and rest, give me five, no, three months, I'll be back."
Soul Vision!
Li Changan quietly activated his soul vision, and his heart trembled.
Saw.
The seemingly ordinary door is covered with dense, messy, and strange white silk threads.
"Lao Cao, we're here to invite you." Ran Swordfish spoke again.
"Invite?"
"Chang'an said that we want to invite everyone to dinner, everyone gathers together, not to do tasks, we are just here to invite you." Ran Swordfish's tone was still calm.
"Whew"
Bai Zhu hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any more noise.
This potluck. Can we really get together again?
"No, I'm sorry, Chang'an, my body is now true. It may indeed be a little inconvenient. β
"Old Cao" Li Changan also spoke.
Don't wait for him to finish.
"Roll !!!"
Lao Cao was suddenly angry, and his voice was hoarse and he yelled.
The next second.
As if he had changed again, his tone suddenly softened, and he pleaded:
"Please, give me another three months, and I'll be back in just three months. When the time comes, I will definitely try to take over the task and return all the debts I owe, and return the 'Boundary Analysis Red Pupil' intact to see it, for the sake of all my colleagues, you will give me three months of time, so that I can spend another three months with Xiaoli and the children."
"Okay." Li Changan preempted Ran Swordfish and agreed to him.
"Thank you, thank you Chang'an." Lao Cao said gratefully.
"Lao Cao, please let us in and have a glass of water, you won't invite us to a glass of water when we come here, it's a little not enough of friends." Li Changan said in a relaxed tone.
"You're still lying to me!!"
Lao Cao roared wildly, and his voice seemed to be mixed with the chirping of some special creature.
Li Changan gave Xiao Fan a look.
"Meow!"
The little guy will understand, and without hesitation, he will pounce and directly destroy the door lock with a gentle claw.
Bang!!
Li Changan kicked the door of the room.
When they saw the scene inside the door, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
Saw.
Dense white silk threads covered the entire room.
In the thick silk thread, the skinny old Cao was tightly bound in the silk thread with his eyes closed, and he had a strange satisfied smile on his face.
And the body of the old Cao Spirit Beast Seven Star Spotted Butterfly swelled several times, as if it had been blistered, and the whole body was swollen.
Meanwhile.
A bright red flexible eyeball, extending out a dark red thread like a nerve like the meridians around the eye, deeply pierced into the body of the seven-star butterfly.
As the door opened, the red eyeballs seemed to come to life, looking at the four people outside the door.
At this moment, a mixed and clueless whisper suddenly sounded in the ears of several people, affecting the thoughts of several people.
Their intrusion did not make Lao Cao angry.
An eerie smile appeared on his face.
"You see, I'm just weak. I don't really have anything at all. β
The white silk threads gushed out with every movement of Lao Cao's mouth.
At the same time, a rancid smell of erosion also permeated.
