The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 625
The dim sum shop is not too far from the hot pot restaurant where Xiaochen is, only two blocks away.

Although it is 10:30 in the evening, for the city of Modu, it is far from the time to rest.What's more, today is Christmas Eve, and the atmosphere of the whole city is cheerful, so that there are more pedestrians on the road than during the day, but most of them are young people in fashionable clothes.

A huge and diverse group of people like Yuan Mu and the others are actually quite eye-catching.So the few people who came along the way still accepted the baptism of many eyes. Not long after they left, the eyes of the oncoming young man obviously showed some surprise, so Yang Yang felt a little strange, and then he heard and A little girl he passed by exclaimed: "Wow! So handsome!"

"That's right! White hair! How could it be dyed! It's so handsome!" The other girl who was walking with the little girl arm in arm heard her companion's exclamation, and also shouted.

It doesn't matter if they shouted like this, but Yang Yang and the others knew immediately that there was a person behind him, and this person was none other than Baihu.Speaking of which, after Bai Hu was sent to the dim sum shop by Yuan Mu in the morning, he obediently stayed in front of the table that Yang Yang found for him all day, and never walked around if it was not necessary. If he didn't bother Yang Yang and the others, it would cause trouble to others.

Except for occasionally helping out and coordinating the cooperation between monsters, Baihu's presence in the shop is almost equal to zero.

Such a guest is welcome wherever he goes.Yang Yang naturally wanted to entertain him well, but unfortunately, the news brought by Yue Bing was too sudden, they were not prepared at all, they were caught off guard, and before they had time to think so much, they completely forgot about his existence.

However, he didn't seem to be angry.Yang Yang looked at the white tiger with guilt on his face, sighed helplessly, and turned to look at Yuan Mu.Obviously, it is the best choice for him to communicate with Baihu at this time.As for myself, as long as I take it quietly and be a mute.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Mu stepped forward and said to Bai Hu.His tone was very gentle, and there was no sense of reproach in his expression, but Baihu still couldn't help but get nervous because of the crowd watching.

He stammered and said, "I... I see that you are all going out, so... I wonder... Is there anything that needs me." After he finished speaking, he found that everyone's eyes didn't change. I was impatient, so I added another sentence at an extremely fast speed: "Don't worry, I won't trouble you, I just..."

"Then follow along." Before he finished speaking, Yuan Mu said, "We still believe in your ability."

This sentence was like a Dinghaishenzhen needle, which made Baihu's flustered expression calm down instantly. He looked into Yuan Mu's eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."

This little episode didn't affect anything. After Baihu joined the team, they continued to move forward, and it didn't take long before they came to Xiaochen's backyard.Xiaochen had obviously gotten the news. He opened the door when he heard the movement, and after seeing everyone coming in, he immediately asked, "What's the matter? Did you find anyone?"

"No." Yue Bing shook her head, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "I went to the dim sum shop to ask, and they haven't been there all day today."

"Ah!?" Now it was Xiaochen's turn to be surprised, she had already looked at her backyard when Yue Bing knocked on the door, and there was no one there.In other words, when Yuan Mu and the others came back with Yun Chang and Yun Yuan, there was no one in the yard.

Although Chi Dun and the others live here, Xiaochen is only the landlord after all, not the jailer.Where the tenants go is their freedom. Sometimes they meet and tell them, but if they don't, she won't ask.Besides, Yun Chang and Yun Yuan, who live here with her, will not go out casually if they want to recover from their injuries. Lu Ax is a dead house, and asking him to go out is the same as killing half of his life.

The remaining little fox and Chi Dun, although they often go out, have always been on a relatively fixed route. Although it is an eventful time, these two people are not big figures, and they are not of much use value. Even the enemy probably won't stare at them Go up to them both.So few people care about their whereabouts.

Xiaochen didn't see anyone, and thought it was Lu Ax who followed the little fox and the others.After all, today was Christmas Eve, there was an event in the dim sum shop, and Lu Ax and Yang Yang had a good relationship, and Little Fox and Chi Dun worked next door to the dim sum shop, so she thought maybe the three of them went to the dim sum shop to play.This kind of thing has happened before, so she didn't care about it. In addition, she has been at Hong Yuan's side for the past few days, helping her sort out information in various places, and she hasn't closed her eyes for several days. I went to sleep and didn't care about other things.

It wasn't until Yue Bing knocked on the door that she realized what had happened.

"This thing is like this." After Xiaochen briefly described her whereabouts and what happened after she entered the yard, she looked at a few people and said, "This backyard is mine, so I naturally know what's going on in it." Everything, when I entered the yard, there was no one in the yard."

"When did you enter the yard?" No one would doubt Xiaochen's control over her own backyard.

It's okay if she's not there, but if she's in the yard, any movement in the backyard can't escape her consciousness. Since she said there is no one, it is true that there is no one.Yuan Mu changed his mind and asked, "The last time we saw Little Fox and Chi Dun was before we left with Yun Chang. It was around ten o'clock in the morning."

"Bai Ze and Ying Long took me to find the senior brother. After we found the senior brother, we spent some time on the way back here to get rid of those tails. When we came back here, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon." Such a big commotion Naturally, it is impossible for Yun Chang and Yun Yuan to be unaware. When they walked out the door, they happened to hear the discussion of several people, so after nodding to them, Yun Chang said, "I came about 5 minutes before you guys." here."

As Xiaochen spoke, she seemed to remember something, frowned slightly and said, "I also said why there are so many demons along the way, they have never set foot in this area, and I even took care of two of them."

"By now, things are almost clear." After listening to their words, Xie Zhi concluded, "Little Fox and Chi Dun were within five hours of us taking Yun Chang out and Xiao Chen in. disappeared."

"Is there any trace at the door?" After hearing Xie Zhi's words, Yuan Mu immediately asked, "Forcible entry or something?"

This is not the first time that this yard has been watched by people. The last time when people were watched, those people walked back to the empty door, and Lu Ax was so frightened that he yelled to move. Will it be the same this time?Because they really couldn't figure it out, Little Fox, Chi Dun and Lu Axe, why did they play Missing when they were so good at it?You can't tell them where they went, you have to leave without saying a word.

Since there is no reasonable explanation or reason for them to leave on their own, being coerced to leave has become the most reasonable explanation.

"No." Xiaochen immediately gave a negative answer when she heard the words. She looked at several people and said, "After Yuebing left, I immediately checked the things in the yard and found that there was no sign of anyone breaking in. , and there is no trace of fighting, which is why I was so relieved at first."

Chi Dun and a little fox.Although the combat effectiveness of the two of them is not very high among this group of people, they are definitely not the kind of people who are helpless when they are beaten. Among other things, they still have the ability to struggle a few times. If even Xiaochen, the owner, didn't see anything special, it can only be said that no one has ever been to this place.

"I didn't smell anything strange either." Bai Hu also spoke at this time, and his words gave Xiaochen the best support.As one of the Four Sacred Beasts, the White Tiger has a very keen sense of the aura of living beings. Otherwise, how could he find those non-humans in the West who sneaked into the Divine Barrier on the vast snow-capped mountains?

Whether it is Xiaochen or Baihu, their words have confirmed one thing, that is, the disappearance of the little foxes was not coerced, and everything they did was voluntary, at least without struggle.

"But... that's impossible!" At this moment, Yue Bing, who had been silent all this time, spoke, looking at the crowd and said, "Can you think of the reason why they left?"

Obviously, not only Yue Bing couldn't think of this reason, but everyone couldn't think of it either.

"There is another possibility." At this time, Yuan Mu suddenly spoke, he looked at Xiaochen, then looked at Lu Fu's room not far away and said: "They didn't leave, or they didn't leave through the gate. "

Almost at the same time, everyone understood what he said.

Everyone's eyes focused on the door of Lu Fu's room not far away, as if what was there was not a door, but a man-eating beast.It lurks in the darkness, patiently dormant, waiting for the opportunity to knock down all the creatures that approach it, and then pull it into the darkness of darkness.

This kind of imagination made Yang Yang shiver involuntarily. He turned his head to look at Yuan Mu, wanting to make sure of something, but found that the latter's eyes were focused on the steps in front of Lu Fu's gate.Just when he was curious that there was something worthy of Yuan Mu's attention, Yuan Mu suddenly pointed to that place and spoke.

"Look, that's the little fox's pot." He pointed to the place he was looking at, and said in a low voice.
