to blame

Ming Xia grabbed him, "Don't go in."

Song Qing didn't know, but he had seen all kinds of strange images that night with his own eyes. He knew that his ability was limited, and there was Song Qing who was always slowing him down.

"I don't think there's anyone in the house." Song Qing didn't want to go back just like that, and reluctantly grabbed the railing to negotiate with Ming Xia, "I'll just take a peek."

Ming Xia became a little impatient, how old is this kid, and why is he so curious?

There was a fluttering sound from behind, and something brushed Ming Xia's cheek and flew past, and the moment it brushed against her was cool and slippery.Before Ming Xia realized what it was, Song Qing next to him yelled, "Isn't it all gone? Why are there still?"

A large gray-white bird with the size of an adult owl flapped its wings and landed on the awning outside the villa window. It had fierce round eyes, a bright red beak, and... thick claws that were tightly grasping the railing of the awning. Xia's heart sank slowly.

This is really... the road to the enemy is narrow.

Luo Luo tilted his head, staring at Ming Xia with a pair of round eyes that seemed to be psychic, then opened his mouth and let out a very light and soft cry of "Roro Luo Luo".

Song Qing was also dumbfounded, and wanted to retreat, but Luo Luo was staring at her, and she didn't dare to move. She asked Ming Xia in a trembling voice, "It's been watching you...could it have been staring at you a long time ago..."

Outsiders don't know about Luo Luo's mark on Ming Xia, but when Song Qing said this, Ming Xia felt inexplicably that this one might be the one that wrote "There is food here" on him back then. That vanguard.

Luo Luo took two steps back and forth on the railing of the canopy slowly, and then rushed towards the window on the second floor without looking back.From Ming Xia's point of view, he couldn't see whether the windows on the second floor were closed. He could only hear a few scratching sounds, and then there was a crackling sound from the room, as if something had been knocked over.

Ming Xia grabbed Song Qing, "Let's go!"

Songqing's foot slipped and she almost fell.

On the second floor, there was a crackling sound from the room that Luo Luo entered, and there was an angry scream from Luo Luo, as if someone had squeezed his neck hard.Immediately there was another sputtering sound, which sounded like two wrestling people rolled from the second floor to the downstairs, knocking countless sundries down from a height.Then there was a loud bang, as if a huge person had slammed into the door heavily, shaking the door panel which seemed very strong at first glance.

Luo Luo hissed and screamed, with obvious anger in his voice.

There was another loud bang, this time it was unknown whether the cupboard had been knocked down, and the two people standing outside the courtyard wall heard the sound of porcelain crackling on the ground.In the darkness, something flickered past the window, glowing with a faint light, faint blue.Then the twilight slapped against the window with a snap.

All the glass shattered, and the harsh siren sounded in an uproar.

Ming Xia knew that neither of them could leave now.

Sure enough, soon a staff member of the property ran over sweating along the other end of the path with two security guards. The old town was still under quarantine, and Luo Luo's panic was still there, and there was no sign of trouble It's enough to make people tremble with fear.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" The security guards were holding guns in their hands.

Ming Xia helplessly spread his hands, signaling them to listen to the sound of ping-pong-pong in the villa.

These few people were also puzzled, but they had a better understanding of the situation in the community and knew who the people lived here.One of the security guards asked Ming Xia, "Are you here to find Mr. Qiao?"

Ming Xia nodded quickly, "As soon as we got to the door, we heard pinging and bangs from inside. The door hasn't been knocked yet."

Several people looked at each other, and the property owner gritted his teeth, "Why don't you... take a look first? Don't tell me something happened?"

"One more thing," Ming Xia hurriedly said, "We just saw a gray bird fly in from the window on the second floor."

Several people were startled, and a little confused. Such a big commotion really didn't seem to be caused by a gray bird.The property didn't dare to be careless, and sent a security guard back to report to the sixth group, and then called some people to come together.

As soon as the security guard left here, there was another loud shock in the villa, as if the entire wall had collapsed, and then suddenly fell silent for some reason.

The property management and security guards waited anxiously for a while, but no rescuers came, and fearing that something might happen to the homeowner, they took out the spare key and planned to go in to check it.

Ming Xia and Song Qing also cheekily followed.

The courtyard of the villa is overgrown with weeds, and the gravel path in the middle is almost submerged by weeds.Ming Xia once again felt that this place really didn't look like an inhabited house.

As soon as the door was opened, a stench rushed in, causing several people to retreat hurriedly.

Song Qing, who was standing beside Ming Xia, muttered softly, "Things...I'm afraid it's not very good..."

Clutching his nose, the property manager fumbled to press the switch on the side of the door.

The lights were on, and the room was full of chaos. On the wall facing the gate, a brightly colored landscape painting was hung crookedly. On the ground was a broken flowerpot. The potted plants were dead.The carpet was covered with shattered glass and porcelain, and the whole house looked like a typhoon passing through.Not only that, but it clearly looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.On the window sill, on the table, on the sofa... There is a thick layer of dust everywhere.Several potted plants on the corners of the house and on the window sills were dead, and dry yellow leaves fell all over the place beside the flower pots.

Ming Xia and Song Qing tentatively walked in behind the property management and security guards. The smell in the room was much stronger than the smell of dead cats in the yard. Even the property management staff began to doubt their own eyes. They asked the security guard in a low voice, "Joe Didn't the husband go home these days? How did it happen? You smell this... What is he doing at home?"

With the room like this, the property management and security guards hesitated a little, and didn't want to go any further.They opened the door to check mainly because they were afraid that the owner would be in danger, but the current situation does not look like there is an owner.

"What do you two mean?" The property owner asked Ming Xia directly, "It's been less than a month since Mr. Qiao moved here, and he hasn't had any friends come to visit before."

This means asking the owner's friends to come up with ideas.

Ming Xia was a little hesitant, but Song Qing planned to go in and take a look. When the sixth group came over, the place might be sealed off, and there would be no news at all.

"Go in and take a look." Song Qing ignored Ming Xia who was pulling him from behind, and said with an anxious expression, "We won't mess around with things to damage the scene, just to see if there is anything wrong. With such a big commotion, in case someone If you are injured, let's rescue it as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the property and security guards had nothing to hesitate.Several men stood at the door to discuss, Song Qing and the security guard checked the first floor, Ming Xia and the property went upstairs.Song Qing proposed this mainly because he felt that the conflict occurred on the second floor of the villa at first, and then all the people (or beasts?) who fought rolled to the first floor. He suspected that Qiao He was hiding somewhere on the first floor—he came to The purpose of this is to see what Qiao He looks like, whether it is normal or not.

Ming Xia and the property owner walked up the stairs, and found that the house had been almost destroyed and turned into a rough house. The solid wood stair handrails were all broken, and the walls were also full of cracks.The two couldn't get in when they reached the stairs, because the wall on one side had completely collapsed, and the corridor at the stairs was blocked by bricks and broken wood.

The two had no choice but to come down again.

As soon as he walked down the stairs, he saw the security guard stumbling out of the restaurant, looking panicked like a ghost chasing after him.

"Oh my god, it's scary," the younger security guard grabbed the sleeve of the property with a pale complexion and stammered, "Hurry up and call the police!"

Song Qing also followed, standing at the door of the restaurant and beckoning to Ming Xia.His face was pale, and he seemed to be shaking all over.Before Ming Xia could reach his side, he was grabbed by his outstretched arms.

The two glass doors of the dining room have long been shattered, even the door frame is gone, Ming Xia can see clearly the situation in the restaurant without going any closer.Just on top of a pile of broken bricks and tiles, decoration materials, pots and pans, there was a huge boa constrictor corpse standing upright.

The snake's body was ripped apart, but a pair of men's feet protruded from the huge snake's mouth. Black leather shoes and dark gray trousers seemed familiar.

Ming Xia felt nauseous for a while, turned around and ran out.

The sixth group came very quickly. They methodically sealed off the villa and began to survey the site.Ming Xia and the others also had a sixth group to record their statements, and they were not allowed to leave after the recording was finished, but they were asked to wait aside.It wasn't until it was dark that Nan Jiang brought his people out.

Ming Xia was sitting tremblingly on the curb, wandering into the sky, when he saw a big hand stretched out in front of him, Ming Xia was stunned for a moment before realizing that it meant to pull him up.

Nan Jiang's hands were warm, but his expression was frighteningly cold, "I told you, don't hang out outside after dark."

Ming Xia asked him back, "Didn't you make me forget everything about that night?" He was actually trying to trick him.He had some doubts about this matter, but he didn't know how to prove it.

Nan Jiang laughed, "I didn't make you forget this sentence."

"What about the others?" Ming Xia was slightly annoyed, "You still did something wrong."

Nan Jiang didn't deny it either, "Yaoxi District has its own secrets. There's nothing you can do about it. Tu Qing shouldn't have let you stay in the shop that day."

Hu Lao and Song Qing both said the same thing.Facing so many insiders, Ming Xia felt a kind of displeasure at being kept out, "Since there is danger, why can't we inform in advance?"

"Because," Nan Jiang looked at him with gentle eyes, "all the dangers you know will only stay here. And you will leave sooner or later."

Ming Xia looked at him for a moment, then looked away slightly uncomfortably.A little farther away, Song Qing was being questioned by Li Youran with a bitter face, and by looking at his expression, he knew that he must be scolded.

"I know what you're talking about," Ming Xia looked at him, "but, is this 'circle' drawn on the outskirts of the old city really reliable?"

"I've thought about it before. But..." Nan Jiang looked up at the dark night sky above the villa, and said casually, "Who can say what hasn't happened yet? Reliable." Just rely on it, if it is unreliable, find a way to repair it, strengthen it, and make it reliable."

Ming Xia looked at his sharp-edged side face and was a little dazed, "I thought...you came here to reprimand me."

"I want to train you." Nan Jiang didn't deny this, he turned to look at Ming Xia, "Are you worried about Mr. Hu?" Before Ming Xia nodded, he turned into a sarcasm again, "You too Don't think about it, how could Mr. Hu be so stupid?"

Ming Xia, "..."

Looking at his depressed face, Nan Jiang shook his head, with a slight smile in his eyes, "Forget about your curiosity. You are going to go back to the outside world after all."

Ming Xia subconsciously asked him, "What about you?"

"Me?" Nan Jiang looked at him with a moment of melancholy, which seemed like Ming Xia's illusion.Then he replied in a very calm tone: "I will probably keep guarding this circle."

"How long has it been?" Ming Xia was a little at a loss, how could he not even change jobs?

"It's always been...it's there, and we're here."
