There is a lucky cat in the dream

Chapter 232 The Attic
An Huai hugged the backpack tightly, saying that he could do it.

Ye Chixu pursed his lips and let out a breath, determined to ignore him and go into the shop by himself.

This small stationery store is not a boutique store that is more popular nowadays, it is just a small rectangular store of more than ten square meters.

The sides near the walls are filled with pens and notebooks and other items that can easily be placed on shelves.

In the middle, there are two rows of shelves symmetrically, and some stationery and some small boutiques that can be hung for sale are placed.

"How can you find so many things in this store?" Anhua followed closely behind Ye Chixu, his hand holding the bag trembling slightly, showing that he was a little nervous at this time.

"I mainly want to find a place like notebooks or posters." Yechixu walked closer to the shelf and found that there was a small compartment selling small boutique ornaments.

There are also some stationery that special students need more in this grid, such as rice paper, sketch paper and a series of things for art students.

"It seems that the possibility of finding something in this is relatively high." Ye Chixu flipped through the stack of rice paper and said.

Seeing her move her hand and continue to look at the deep shelf, An Huai also flipped through the things in front of her eyes: "What can I find here?"

"I don't know, you also said that the things inside are too complicated." Ye Chixu unscrewed the innermost door and found a wooden straight ladder inside.

She turned to An Huai and said, "How is it? Do you want to go up?"

"What?" An Huai walked behind her and glanced inside, "Wow, where did you get the ladder?"

"There must be something on it." Ye Chixu patted the two vertical woods of the ladder and said, "How is it? Do you want to go up and have a look?"

"Let's say goodbye." An Huai slid back the shoulder strap of the travel bag, "You see, there is no power supply in this shop. The light is already very dark when you walk here, not to mention you have to go up to the second floor."

"Then look for the switch." Ye Chixu leaned out from the door and looked left and right.

She pulled An Huai in, and the two of them huddled in a small corner under the straight ladder, and then closed the door.

"What!" An Huai was a little frightened.

After the door was closed, the small compartment directly lost its light source, and the two of them were completely plunged into darkness.

"If the switch is not outside the door, it should be at the door." Ye Chixu stretched out his hand and groped on the wall behind the door.

"Sister, are you so courageous?" An Huai whispered behind her.

"I'm not very courageous." Ye Chixu stepped up and touched it again, as if he had reached the edge of some kind of rope.

The door to the inner room was an old-fashioned wooden door, which usually has a glass seal on the top to let in the light from the outside.

The glass on this door is half covered by the shelves outside. In addition, the light outside the door is not very good, so very little light can be cast into the inner room.

Ye Chixu gained the ability to enhance night vision during the novice trial, and this little light is actually enough for her.She also saw the glass block before closing the door boldly.

For example, now, she can vaguely see the outline of the rope on the top.

"You should be taller than me, right?" She pulled An Huai from behind and said.

"What's the matter? Of course! It's true that I'm a little cold, but it's not like I'm less than 1.7 meters."

Mentioning this, An Huai couldn't help but speak up.

"Okay, you hook that rope." Ye Chixu pushed him onto her body, took off the cat bag, and carried it behind her back, "Right here, reach out."

"Ah? Ah!" An Huai was placed where Ye Chixu was standing before, and tremblingly stretched out her hand to touch it.

Through the little light that came in from the outside, Ye Chixu could see An Huai's arms stretched out timidly.

"Go up, go up a little more." Ye Chixu urged.

"Ah...Okay." An Huai squeezed his fist, stretched it up vigorously, and his fingertips touched the thin rope.

"I... I got it." He trembled.

Ye Chixu patted him on the back angrily: "When you reach it, just pull it down!"

"Oh... oh, good." An Huai was Ye Chixu giving an order and an action.In response, his hands were pulled down at the same time.

The dim light flooded the entire compartment in an instant.

"This place is really a toilet." Ye Chixu squinted his eyes to adapt to the light, and turned his head to see a squatting toilet further inward.

"Ah?" An Huai finally opened her closed eyes, passed Yechixu and saw the squatting toilet behind, and a faucet that was still dripping, and there was a bucket below it.

"Why is there no sound from the dripping faucet?" he asked blankly.

"Why don't you... take a closer look." Ye Chixu asked with raised eyebrows.

"No, I can't." An Huai quickly looked away, and turned to look at the light bulb that he had pulled off the string just now, "How do you know that the string turned on the light?"

"No way. You don't even know about this?" Ye Chixu was startled, she knew Anhuai's actual age, how could he never use this kind of pull cord switch?
An Huai looked blank: "Huh? Do I need to know?"

Even if his family is rich, he should wear blue and white school uniforms based on his age.

There was an old teaching building in the school she attended before, which was built 40 to [-] years ago, and this kind of pull-cord switch was used.

Could it be that he was completely brought into the memory of the current character?

"I did it because the old teaching building of our elementary school used this kind of switch." Ye Chixu explained to him anyway.

"Then how did you know that this place should be a toilet?" An Huai tilted his head to look at her.

"Because this kind of old house doesn't have a toilet, and if there is a toilet, it's in the innermost...and I'm still on it, maybe it's a warehouse for storing things." Ye Chixu didn't know how to explain it to him in detail, and he could only ask if he asked again. Explained intuitively.

"Okay then." An Huai was no longer interested in pursuing the question. He pointed to the ladder and asked, "What should we do now? Do you still want to go up?"

"It's hard to turn on the light, of course we have to go up." Ye Chixu saw that he had no intention of going up at all, so he had to wrap the cat with him and prepare to climb up by himself.

"Then...be careful." An Huai opened the compartment door first, and then helped her hold the ladder, "I'll wait for you downstairs with your cat."

Ye Chixu: "..."

She sighed imperceptibly, pinched the vertical bars on both sides of the ladder again, and stepped on the first step.

"Come on!" An Huai encouraged her.

Ye Chixu didn't want to look at this boy who was afraid of the dark anymore, she strode up and climbed up, thinking that luckily she got this ability by doing a task before.

In fact, after that mission, she had never encountered any dark night mode, and gradually forgot that she still had this skill.

It wasn't until today that she clearly felt what it means to have too many skills without overwhelming her body.

The light bulb is mounted on the landing, right next to the top of the ladder.Ann's position in this position can also allow the upper floor to receive some light as much as possible.

The second floor is really a warehouse. Ye Chixu can see that the size of the warehouse actually corresponds to the entire area on the first floor through the light from the stairs.

Looking up, you can indeed see the roof.

The bungalows here actually have this kind of gabled roof with tiles, and many shops have a separate floor and an attic-like space on the second floor for storage.

Ye Chixu saw a protruding beam not far away, and correspondingly found a lamp hanging from the top, and then followed the connected wires to find its switch.

This switch also had a pull cord, but the space above it was relatively low, so she could pull the pull cord easily.

The light bulbs in the attic are better than those in the stairwell. They are white tungsten lamps that illuminate the entire attic at once.

Come to think of it.

The lights on the stairs are just for lighting to make it easier to climb the stairs, plus a toilet.And the light on the second floor has to take into account their need to find things.

After pressing the floor to confirm that it was indeed solid, Yechixu left the ladder and stepped onto the attic.

It's just that every time she takes a step, the floor will creak.

"How's it going? Are you okay upstairs?" An Huai asked after hearing the voice.

Ye Chi Xu moved, wanting to lie down on the stairs and return to him.

What An Huai saw downstairs was her long hair that had fallen down earlier, which made him scream out in fright.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chixu finally showed his face at Xiao Fang's mouth.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." An Huai waved his hand, and pressed his chest again, "I just looked at your black hair hanging down first, and thought of some horror movies I've seen before."

Ye Chixu: "..."

"Didn't you know that it was me who went up?" She was really almost speechless by An Huai.

"I knew it was you who went up! If I didn't know it was you who went up, I might have run out by now." An Huai was still in shock, and even his tone was a little fluttering.

Ye Chixu had no choice but to gather up her hair and throw it back.

"Do you want to come up? The attic is much brighter than the one below." She invited seriously.

"No... no more." An Huai took a step back and pressed the wooden door, "I'll guard the door for you below, what if we both go up and someone closes the door from the outside?"

"Fine……"

Ye Chixu shrank back, and An Huai heard her moving upstairs again.

"How can a girl be so courageous..." He pressed his chest that was still thumping, and he couldn't understand, "Isn't she so timid before? She didn't even dare to enter a spicy hot shop... that place The lights are still on..."

The cat bag in front of him moved, which made An Huai tremble again.

In this kind of place, which he was afraid of from the beginning, any disturbance can scare him.

"Meow~" the kitty called softly in the bag.

"What's wrong, kitten?" Anhuai opened the bag and put his head inside. He felt that he urgently needed to suck the cat to relax.

Unexpectedly, the cat in the bag jumped out from the bottom, bumped his forehead and ran up the straight ladder.

"Ouch!" An Huai yelled while covering her head.

"Oh!" This was his scream when he saw the kitten flying up.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chixu asked from above.

"Your cat ran up!" An Huai put his feet against the door and lay down on the ladder, "It ran so fast! How can such a small cat climb so well?"

Upstairs, Ye Chixu was still looking for things. She didn't know what she was looking for, but there was a thought in her heart that kept driving her to look for things.

"What kind of cat..."

As she muttered, her hands kept moving.

The sound insulation effect of the second floor is quite good, so she couldn't really hear An Huai's voice on the first floor.

"Meow~"

The cat cub let out a soft cry behind her, startling the unsuspecting Ye Chixu.

"Why are you here?" She turned her head and hugged the cat.

The cat smacked his lips: "Nonsense, would you have found me if I didn't come?"

"That's true." Ye Chixu rubbed his head and said, "I actually don't know what I have to come up to find... maybe some props that can be used to fight monsters?"

The last time she felt like this was when she was climbing the stairs while dreaming and found the briquettes.

"Don't even think about it, there is no props in this place that we can find to deal with them." The cat patted her paw.

"Then what am I here to find?" Ye Chixu stopped, "Is it something they also want us to find?"

"The boss said before that this map should be pieced together from the places they collected that may hide things."

The cat jumped onto a shelf and slowly pulled a cardboard box.

"I think what they are looking for may not be a complete whole at all, but some scattered fragments. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have inductions in so many places."

"You guessed it yourself? Or did Xun Fengbai tell you something?" Ye Chixu stared at him and asked.

"He just told me his little guess." The kitty patted the box and said, "I don't have any skills, but luck is the best."

Ye Chixu followed his guidance and pulled out the box: "You mean it's in this box?"

"I think there's probably something in it." The cat stepped on two paws alternately awkwardly, and he didn't dare to lick his own paws easily in other people's places, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"If you think there are, then I'll look for them carefully." Ye Chixu opened the box and took out the items one by one, "Do you think they chose these places for projection?"

"Yes." Mao Zai nodded, "We may have set up some other illusions as cover, but the locations where we are doing the mission now should all exist in reality."

"So after we go out, can we find these places in reality?" After Ye Chixu finished speaking, he felt that this seemed a bit unfeasible.

Locations of projection sources may come from all over the country.
