i have a museum of curiosities

As Yingnan was successfully "conquered", Zhang also finally gained confidence.

No matter what they will face tonight, with these two main players, it will definitely be a lot easier.

"Master...Master..." Under Li Li's "teaching", Yingnan finally admitted the status of master and servant.

"Gap girl, is he... I mean master... is he really that powerful?" Yingnan asked in a low voice, tugging at his torn sleeve.

Perhaps remembering Zhang Ye's previous warning, Lia Li gently broke free from Yingnan's hand, and took the initiative to take a step closer to Zhang Ye, putting distance between Yingnan and Yingnan.

"You..." Yingnan looked at Liafi in disbelief.

"Yingnan, do you have a name?" Zhang Ye asked in a low voice.

"Well... I did have a name when I was created, but I was too stupid, so I gave it up." Yingnan muttered in a low voice, but his eyes glanced back and forth between Zhang Ye and Li Lie.

"His name is 'Cai Zhu'." Li Li put his head next to Zhang Ye's ear and whispered.

"It's another Japanese name..." Zhang couldn't help curling his lips, and said in a low voice, "Xu Caikun's secondary illness is in the advanced stage..."

"Hey, Gap Girl! What are you doing?"

Apparently Yingnan disliked Liaie's behavior of telling Zhang Ye his name.

"Yingnan, let's call you 'Xiao Hei' from now on! It's simple and easy to remember, with a clear meaning. It's cute and arrogant, with a touch of playfulness and intimacy... Otherwise...'Black Sauce' is also fine!"

Yingnan: "..."

Li Li directly covered his forehead with his hands.

My master is really not in the second class... he is a funny comparison!The same lines can be used twice... and it doesn't matter whether the lines match the actual content... What a talent!

"What do you think, Blackie?"

Yingnan: "..."

"It seems that you like it very much, Xiao Hei."

Yingnan: "..."

"Master, I'm very pleased, Xiao Hei. Why don't you dance for fun, Xiao Hei."

Yingnan was gnashing his teeth and was about to have an attack, but at this moment, Lipe suddenly spoke.

"Master... have you forgotten something?"

"Huh? Forgot what?" Zhang Ye scratched his head, not knowing why.

"Your girlfriend!" Lia Li reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, I don't have a girl..."

Ok? ? ?
Jiang Tingting! ! !
Zhang Ye's face turned pale instantly, and countless beasts were running wildly in his heart.

Maggill, how could I forget her!
Get her out of here quickly, or she'll...

and many more!

No, you can't let it go!
In the system space, there is Li Qiuchan who is more beautiful than Jiang Tingting...

The system space is so big, Jiang Tingting must have seen it at a glance!There is also a beautiful woman in my system space... She will definitely think that I am a treasure in the golden house... I will not be able to explain it clearly at that time, and I haven't figured out the matter of the Museum of Treasures... Besides, I still have to go and talk to her right now. Ling Xiaotao's reunion is even more important. After all, Jiang Tingting is not in any danger in the system space, but Ling Xiaotao is facing a novel of ghosts!

So, to sum up - Jiang Tingting can't let go!At least not now...

Zhang Ye, who calmed down, showed an awkward smile on his face, "Oh...she's in a very safe place, we don't care about her for now. Find my other companion first..."

"Female?" Li Li asked back.

Zhang Ye's face turned red instantly.

"Bah, scumbag!"

Zhang Ye: "..."
.
With the "guards" of Lia Li and Xiao Hei, Zhang Ye never encountered any other strange stories or strange things along the way, and they quickly returned to Building 8.

However, there was no sign of Ling Xiaotao in front of the building in Unit 3.

"Where did that girl go..." Zhang couldn't help but frowned, "Didn't you say you would wait for me to come back..."

"Master, there is a very strong 'Taoism' aura left here." Lia cracked in a low voice.

"Huh? Taoism?" Zhang Ye was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood, "Ling Xiaotao? Has she fought with others? No, since it is Taoism, the opponent must not be human!"

"Who is the most powerful strange story in Xu Caikun's novels?" Zhang also turned his head to look at Lian Li and Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei shook his head, and said: "I don't know! According to the original outline, the final boss should be the 'Dark Lord', but Xu Caikun once changed the story line, and I was eliminated by the protagonist in the middle and late stages. So..."

Zhang Ye nodded silently, and then looked at Lian Li.

"I don't know either." Li Li shook his head, "I was 'extended' before the final battle."

Hearing the word "Exceeding", Xiao Hei's face showed obvious envy.

"I'm going!" Zhang couldn't help but yelled strangely, and said, "It's such a short life! Xiao Hei, I can actually see the expression on your face is envy! You are so dark all over, how did you show such an expression? No, I mean... how can we see what your expression is?"

Xiao Hei shook his head in doubt, expressing his ignorance.

"It's really strange..." Zhang Ye frowned slightly.

"Perhaps...just because we are all fictional characters in the novel?" Liaie guessed, "As long as there are related 'settings', no matter how incredible and illogical it seems, it can be justified."

"Very bold guess." Zhang also nodded, "So... is it possible that Xu Caikun's novel is also like this? As long as it conforms to the setting and the logic is self-consistent, the big boss can also be changed at will?"

"What does this mean?" Li Lie has gradually been able to keep up with Zhang Ye's leaping thinking.

Zhang Ye curled his lips and said helplessly: "It means that everything is possible. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Taoism..."

"I understand." Lie Li said.

"I also... know a thing or two." Xiao Hei also said.

The corner of Zhang Ye's mouth curled up, and he said, "It means, I picked up the treasure?"

Lia Li gave him a blank look, then stretched out his hands as if grabbing something in the air, moving slowly.

Xiao Hei on the side directly "melted" to the ground like water, and then a pitch-black shadow covered the surrounding area with a radius of more than ten meters.

Watching the two monsters talk about their respective skills, Zhang couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.

Conquering the Gap Girl was just a whim of his own, and it could even be said that he was playing with it. He only thought about how he could show off after subduing the Gap Girl. At most, he was just thinking about how to take the initiative in tonight's action.But he didn't expect that both Lia Li and Xiao Hei had special skills that Zhang Li didn't have, and even... maybe he could really be their... master?
Just when Zhang Ye was secretly feeling emotional, Lian Li had withdrawn his hands, and Xiao Hei had also returned to his original state.

"A-level Taoism." Li Lie said solemnly, "It can easily seriously injure me."

Zhang Ye's brows slowly furrowed.

According to Jiang Tingting's previous judgment, the gaping girl is just a B-level strange talk, but right now Ling Xiaotao's aura of A-level Taoism remains in front of the cave in Unit 8 of Building 3 where Ling Xiaotao once stayed!

This can only show one thing: the strange story Ling Xiaotao encountered was at least A-level, at least!
Because there is another even more frightening possibility, that is, the monster Ling Xiaotao encounters is far superior to her, but her strength is A-level, so she can only use A-level Taoism!
The latter guess was too scary, and Zhang had never seen Ling Xiaotao make a move, so he couldn't judge her upper limit.So this speculation can be ignored for now.

After thinking for a while, Zhang also looked at Xiao Hei.

"I... can't tell!" Xiao Hei said in a low voice, "But I can show you what happened!"

"Huh?" Zhang Ye was taken aback, thinking: Does Xiao Hei still have the ability to "reappear scenes"?

Just when Zhang Ye was puzzled, Xiao Hei turned into a black mist again, and the scene in front of Zhang Ye suddenly changed.

A distorted black shadow stood beside Zhang Ye. Judging by his figure, it should be Ling Xiaotao——No way, everything in the scene that Xiao Hei transformed was black, and he couldn't see clearly at all.

Ling Xiaotao has been waiting in front of the building of Unit 3 as agreed with Zhang Ye, but at some point a mist rose around her, and then a slender figure appeared.

Although the figure was also pitch black, it could be seen that the figure was still in the shape of a human being, but was thin and slender, and he could vaguely see that the other party was wearing a large robe.

Ling Xiaotao obviously also noticed the other party's existence, and she seemed to have used some kind of Taoism to prevent the other party from moving forward.Perhaps Ling Xiaotao's Taoism was too powerful, and Xiao Hei could only simulate it with a black mist.

It was a door about Zhang Xu high.

The next second, the door opened, and black shadows emerged from the door, heading straight for the thin figure.

Zhang was also a little stunned. He inexplicably felt that he seemed to have seen this scene before, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of the slightest clue. Only the familiarity in his heart reminded him that all this was true.

Soon, the slender figure was surrounded by various figures.But that slender figure was neither arrogant nor impatient, and gently raised a short black stick in his hand.

"Whoohoo-"

A series of lightning-like black shadows passed over the figures that emerged from behind the door, and then those figures shattered and turned into black dust.The last black lightning directly hit the door summoned by Ling Xiaotao.

The gate shattered.

Ling Xiaotao took two steps back and knelt on the ground, obviously injured.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists tightly.

The slender figure raised the short stick in his hand again, but Ling Xiaotao suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed directly into the building hole of Unit 3!
The screen ends here.

Zhang Ye took a deep breath, nodded towards Xiao Hei who transformed into a human again, and then said in a low voice, "I'm going in to save people now, do you want to go together?"

"That's needless to say?" Li Li's voice was unquestionable.

"I also want to know why I was created and why I manifested in this world." Xiao Hei said.

Zhang Ye grinned and said, "Okay! Then let's solve this puzzle together."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yedang turned around first, and looked towards the dark building hole.

"Xu Caikun lives in 1301, right?" Zhang Ye asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Li Li replied.

Zhang also nodded and walked towards the cave.

The moment his left foot stepped into the building hole, the sensor lights in the corridor turned on instantly, and Zhang also saw the elevator lights at the end of the corridor turn on.

The elevator showed that it was coming down from the 13th floor, and Zhang Ye couldn't help being shocked.

13th floor?Isn't it the floor where Xu Caikun lives?Why did we come down from the 13th floor as soon as we entered the elevator?Is it a coincidence... or a supernatural event?
Zhang couldn't help but look back at Lia Li and Xiao Hei beside him, and laughed at himself.

I've been following these two monsters around me, do you still care about any supernatural events...

The elevator is still running, and it has reached the seventh floor, and Zhang Ye's face is also a little more dignified.After thinking about it, he took out the "Kaleidoscopic Ring" and put it on his left hand, and on his right wrist was a string of golden bells—the "Xilei Golden Bells" that could summon lower-level spirit bodies.

After getting ready, Zhang also walked slowly to a place two meters away from the elevator, and was on guard.

6, 5, 4, 3, 2…

Soon to reach the first floor, Zhang also subconsciously put his left hand on his chest.

At this moment, Lia Li let out a light gasp in vain, and Xiao Hei's expression changed instantly.

"how……"

The word "了" was still in his mouth, and the elevator door opened.

A young man wearing a white vest, flip-flops, and carrying two bags of garbage slowly came out of the elevator.

"Xu Caikun?!"

Zhang Ye let out a low cry, and before he had time to think about it, he was about to come forward to say hello, but a crackling voice sounded.

"Master... this is a phantom."

"what?"

Zhang Ye was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xu Caikun.The other party didn't seem to see anything.

Zhang was not convinced, so he stretched out his hand to pat Xu Caikun's shoulder, but unexpectedly, his hand passed through Xu Caikun's body without stopping.

"This is……"

Xu Caikun walked slowly to the entrance of the building, then looked outside, and muttered in a low voice: "It's raining heavily..."

Then hurriedly ran out of the cave.

Zhang also froze.

rain?
It rained that night?
And according to Xu Caikun's reaction, the rain should not be light.

But the problem is... In the surveillance that Jiang Tingting showed her earlier, Xu Caikun's body was obviously done!

By the way, monitoring!
Zhang also hurriedly looked up.

Empty corridor ceiling, no surveillance cameras at all!
no monitoring...

Where did the surveillance video on Jiang Tingting's phone come from? !
Zhang Ye suddenly felt a chill rise from behind.

After waiting for about 2 minutes, Xu Caikun quickly ran into the corridor.Without any accident, he was completely soaked.

"Unlucky... I didn't hear that it rained today..."

Xu Caikun grumbled, and walked quickly to the elevator.

Seeing this, Zhang also hurriedly followed.

However, a strange thing happened, the elevator showed that it was on the 13th floor!
Zhang couldn't help but frowned.

Since Xu Caikun came down, no one has used the elevator at all, and I even checked it out, and it has always stayed on the first floor!How could it suddenly become the 1th floor?

At this time, Xu Caikun spoke again.

"It's really strange... Didn't the family of the opposite door go back to their hometown? Why did the elevator stop on the 13th floor? Could it be that they can't come back because of the heavy rain?"

The building Xu Caikun lives in is a standard two-household building, that is, there are only two households on each floor. Except for Xu Caikun who lives in 2 on the 13th floor, there are only three neighbors living in 1301.

So here comes the question: Xu Caikun just went to take out the garbage, and the family of three in 1302 returned to their hometown. How did the elevator stop to the 13th floor?

The elevator quickly reached the first floor, Xu Caikun grumbled, and took a step forward.

"Maybe I don't know whose child's prank..."

However, in Zhang Ye's eyes, the elevator was just like in the previous surveillance video, it was pitch black and there was no light.

Seeing that Xu Caikun had entered the elevator, Zhang couldn't help hesitating.

To enter, or not to enter?

If you enter, what kind of danger you will face... is still unknown; if you don't enter, then it is very likely that you will never find out the secret of Xu Caikun's disappearance!

Zhang Ye gritted his teeth, and whispered to Lian Li and Xiao Hei: "Go, let's go in!"
