Black-bellied academics are always duplicity

And if he wasn't in the basement, where would he be? Could they check into a room and just see a kid standing there in pajamas, rubbing his eyes and asking them, "Brothers and sisters, what are you doing?"

At this time, Xiao Qinghan opened the door of a room next to him, and the furnishings inside came into view. The room is very spacious, and all kinds of furnishings are exquisite and elegant. The cloakroom is also full of famous brand clothes, but Ji Tangxi always has a feeling , Finding a book in such a place will be exhausting, there are dozens of drawers in the cabinet...

Xiao Qinghan said while looking around: "We will definitely receive the task in a certain room, it's impossible to just search for it like this, this way of finding may not be complete for a few days and nights."

Don't mention how much Ji Tangxi agrees, but it's a pity that even if they walk here casually and pick up something from time to time, they still don't get any task reminders and have to leave temporarily.

Now there is no movement from other people, and they don't know the progress of others. After walking forward for a while, the wall on the left will come to an end, and after that is the railing. Standing here, you can see the scene of the hall.

The field of vision is much wider at once. Most of the places in the hall are vacant, so it won’t look crowded. There are only a few flowers and plants on the edge. There is a huge crystal chandelier at the top of the house, but the light is not particularly bright. In their position, it is not dazzling.

"I'm convinced, I can't find any clues," Han Wenxi said to Xiao Qinghan when other people also came out of the room, "We will not really let us look for a needle in a haystack in such a big house, right? The space is much larger than that on the second floor, in case they also learn from TV dramas, they can create a small mezzanine on the floor."

Team leader Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Even if it's really designed like this, I will definitely tell you. Is anyone of you going to the study?"

"I don't even know where the study is, and there is a third floor in this house." Shen Zehai motioned to the stairs not far away, "According to my experience, the study is likely to be on the third floor."

"Then let me go and have a look." Lu Zhiheng said.

"I'll go too," Shen Zehai said, "I said it's my turn to hook up with an NPC this time, or is it your goddess?" He said and looked at Xia Ning who came out from behind.

"Come on," Goddess Xia said without changing her expression, "I'm not interested in five-year-old children."
Those two people walked to the third floor, and the others continued to look room by room, miraculously, they still didn't find anything, no one, and no task, as if they were the landmarks of a place when they were traveling on vacation. Visit inside the building.
After a few minutes like this, they finally received a message from Shen Zehai on the communicator, it was still voice, and they were full of excitement, "I'm going, you guys come up quickly!"

"This kid won't really see the NPC in the study, right? It seems that he fell in love with him at first sight?" The team leader said while leading everyone up to the third floor.

The area of ​​the third floor is similar to that of the second floor, but the layout is more three-dimensional and clear, because there are very few rooms here, and signs are hung on the door of the rooms to explain: study room, music room, studio, movie projection room, billiard room, etc. Among them, the study room seems to have the largest area.

They entered the study room, and not far away, they saw Lu Zhiheng and Shen Zehai strolling in front of the bookshelf, among them Ah Hai was actually holding a boy in his arms.

"Whose child is this?" Team leader Xiao couldn't help being a little stunned, isn't it that Ah Hai's speed of hooking up with NPCs is too unusual, and he hooked up as soon as he saw it?
"After we came in, we looked around here, and then we saw this child sitting there reading a book. He asked who we were and what we were here for. I saw that this child was good-looking, so I picked him up." Shen Zehai pinched the boy's face as he spoke.

This kid is pretty good-looking, with big eyes and white skin, just like a painting, but that's not the point, the point is--
"Did you ask him where the book is?" Xiao Qinghan asked.

"He didn't ask, I asked," Lu Zhiheng said a little speechlessly, "When he saw the child, he picked him up and chatted with him. I couldn't bear it anymore so I asked, but he said," Lu Zhiheng spread his hands, "No See."

Team Leader Xiao resisted the urge to look up at the sky and said to the boy, "My kid, why are you here? Where are your parents?"

"This is my home," the boy said. "Mom and Dad have gone out, and I don't know when they will come back. They often don't come home all night. I came here to read because I was bored."

"Oh," Team Leader Xiao didn't want to ask if he could understand, but just said, "Then if we want to find something here, do you know where to find it?"

"I don't know this, but my little one may know. He is very smart and cute. He often plays with me. He told me to come to the study room to read more. If I read well, my parents will be happy. Maybe I will come back stay with me."

Even Ji Tangxi couldn't help feeling that she was such a poor baby.Xiao Qinghan continued to ask: "Where is your little baby? What is it like?"

"It's a bar dog, it's all white, and it can talk, but he often runs around, and I don't know where it is now."

"..." Xiao Qinghan was convinced, the difficulty of finding a dog is not much less than that of finding a book, okay?

"You can find a small piece of beef first, that is its favorite food, the beef is..."

Xiao Qinghan's heart suddenly rose to the throat, if you ask us to find something again and say you don't know where it is...

"You can find it in the kitchen on the first floor."

The team leader's heart sank immediately, "Okay, brothers, let's go to the first floor."

"Do you want to go with us?" Shen Zehai asked the boy.

"I'm not going, I still have to read here. If you find what you're looking for, you can come back and accompany me. I'm alone here most of the time. It's so lonely."

"Okay." Shen Zehai patted the boy's head again.

When they went down to the first floor, they really saw the approximate area of ​​the house. It was estimated to be at least a thousand square meters. There were swimming pools both indoors and outdoors, plus various outdoor entertainment facilities.
"If I were that kid, why would I be lonely?" Lu Zhiheng looked around with interest, "There are so many interesting things, but he actually went to the study to read. If I had his level back then, I would have... No, I studied very hard, so I was admitted to Yass."

other people:"……"
Strictly speaking, the kitchen of the house is not indoors, but a small room has been opened outside, but it does not affect the layout. It is very rich. As for the beef that the child mentioned, there are dozens of kinds at least.

"No," Team Leader Xiao suddenly thought of something, "Even if we can find beef, how should we find a dog? Just throw the beef over there and the dog will show up naturally?"

"It's hard to say, maybe it is," Han Wenxi said with a smile, "But we don't know which one is the best with so many beef here. Why don't we just put them all out and let him choose?"

Shen Zehai said: "Aren't you afraid that putting them together will affect the smell and affect the appearance of the dog? I think you should put them one by one. If the dog doesn't come out after 1 minute, put another one down."

Team leader Xiao said again: "..." No matter which of these two proposals are put into practice, they are foolish enough.

But it seems that there is no other way, but for the time being, just pick out a kind of beef randomly like Shen Zehai and put it on the table, and at the same time hope that the talking dog brother will show his face quickly.

Team leader Xiao looked at his watch, 1 minute, right? Then...

Before he finished thinking about it, a snow-white little dog suddenly appeared in front of him. It had such a small appearance, with big eyes and upturned nose, and his eyes were full of red hearts at the first sight, right?

"Ah!" Goddess Xia Ning screamed and rushed over to hug the dog!
"How do you do, Miss?" An equally immature voice sounded, feeling about the same age as the boy, and they reasonably guessed that the voice came from the dog.

This talking animal, well, I've seen quite a few of them when dealing with those strange beasts in the library.

"Little baby," Goddess Xia rubbed the puppy's head twice, "Can you tell us where the book "Deceitful Ways" is?"
"I know, but my master won't let me tell because it involves one of his secrets."
"Then how can we find that book?" Xiao Qinghan asked.

"Go to my little master," said the puppy, "he should be reading in the study on the third floor at this time."

Ji Tangxi: "..."

Can it work, the little boy asked them to go to the first floor to find the puppy, and now the puppy asked them to go to the third floor to look for the little boy?
However, there is actually nothing to complain about. The principle of plot games is to run around in one direction...

When they returned to the third floor, the little boy was still sitting there obediently reading a book. Shen Zehai immediately went over to pick him up, but the boy seemed quite happy, and missed him so much after not seeing him for so long.

"Little brother," Team Leader Xiao didn't bother to say this again, "do you remember any clues about that book now?"

If the child wanted them to go to the first floor to find the puppy again, then Xiao Qinghan would have skipped this level. Fortunately, what the child said was: "I kind of remember it now, it seems that I watched it in my father's music room before. I’ve seen him reading that book, and I can take you there to have a look.”

"Okay, that's troublesome."

So Shen Zehai went out with the boy in his arms, and came to the music room not far from the study room. The space here is also not small. There is a tall cabinet with various boxes on it, and several boxes are placed on the edge of the music room. There is a stand, and a piano, but there is no shadow of a book in any corner for the time being.

"Can you play the piano?" the boy asked with his arms around Shen Zehai's neck.
