Early the next morning, the weather cleared up, and Haicheng, which was hit by heavy rain, quickly returned to normal after a brief hectic period.

Lu Wangzhi woke up earlier than usual, because Zhuang Sui prepared breakfast with great joy every day, and every time he asked him what he would eat tomorrow when he was satisfied, he unknowingly forgot to find another house.

But he was also a little embarrassed after eating for so many days.

Although breakfast can be finished in two or three bites, as a layman, Lu Wangzhi also knows that the process takes a lot of time, and no matter how proficient Zhuang Sui is, he has to get up early to prepare.

"Why is it so early today?" Zhuang Sui was a little surprised when he heard the sound and turned his head.

"Well, I want to see what I can do to help." Lu Wangzhi rolled up his sleeves and walked to the counter, looking around with interest, but saw porridge being cooked on the stove, and golden stuffing that had been kneaded on the counter Heart, Zhuang Sui is holding the rolled dough in his hand, and is putting stuffed heart buns in one by one.

Lu Wangzhi was a little dumbfounded: "Is this... soon to be ready? What time did you get up to get ready?"

"It's not too early." Zhuang Sui smiled and motioned him to come to his side, "Come and pinch."

Lu Wangzhi imitated his technique and pinched ten bald buns, took advantage of the time of waking up to change clothes and wash, and put the rested buns into the steamer when he came back.

At the same time that the quicksand buns are steamed, the porridge in the casserole is also ready. Zhuang Sui puts fresh fish fillets in it, sprinkles green onion and peanuts for seasoning and serves.The minced fish porridge is delicious and sweet, and the quicksand bag is soft and delicate at the entrance. The egg powder hung upside down on the coat rack overnight woke up after smelling the smell, but when he intended to throw it on the dining table, Zhuang Sui waved it with his big hand and made a rattling sound. The buttocks fell to the ground.

Zhuang Sui didn't eat much, and there were still a few buns left after the two of them finished eating, and they packed them up and took them to work.

Because of the torrential rain all night, puddles of stagnant water were everywhere on the Central Axis Square, and some small decorative potted plants were smashed to pieces by the rain, and the ground was covered with soil and broken leaf residues.

Dan San guessed that he ate rotten fruit secretly from nowhere last night, and he is not fully awake yet, so Zhuang Sui walked around the flower bed at the entrance of the unit. Suddenly something moved.

A small messy animal rolled out, closed its eyes and collapsed on the ground, its dirty paw touched the toe of Lu Wangzhi's shoe, and it was completely motionless.

Lu Wangzhi froze all of a sudden. He retracted his feet carefully, squatted down half a meter away, looked around for a long time but couldn't see what it was, so he called Zhuang Sui: "Come and see what this is."

Zhuang Sui walked over and took a look: "It looks like a stray puppy."

Dan San hopped over in a daze, and when he saw the little thing, the whole bird woke up in an instant, cooing around the puppy, and patted it with its wings from time to time.

"Do you like it?" Zhuang Sui was startled, "No...it's not food, don't eat it." He quickly rescued the puppy from under the bird's beak where the egg was scattered. Although it was faint, it was obviously not an ordinary small animal.

**

The puppy was woken up by poking eggs.

After waking up, it was taken aback by Dansan. Not afraid of the difference in size between the two sides, it bared its teeth and barked at Dansan fiercely.

Dan San will be scared when he meets a sparrow, but when the puppy barks aggressively, he is frightened and flies back to the rich tree to play dead.

Lu Wangzhi was burning quicksand bags for David. He heard the sound and looked over. The puppy seemed to be a little afraid of this strange environment, and looked around in panic. When he saw Lu Wangzhi, his eyes lit up, and then dragged his weak body to Lu Wangzhi's feet. .

It bit Lu Wangzhi's trousers, and the latter's face froze immediately.

David quickly ate a bun and licked his fingers. Seeing this, he let out a snort: "It seems to want you to go somewhere with it."

Only then did Lu Wangzhi realize that the puppy was pulling back vigorously. After David explained, it let go and barked twice, as if in response to David's words.

Lu Wangzhi looked at David in surprise: "Do you know what it is talking about?"

David looked the puppy up and down: "It seems that it has just awakened its spiritual intelligence. Although its spiritual power is very weak, it is already considered a spiritual body."

As a starved ghost, David also belongs to a spirit body, so he can naturally understand what the puppy means.

"Then why does it want me to follow it?"

David floated down from mid-air, communicated with the puppy in a low voice for a while, and suddenly frowned strangely.

"It said that it ran out from Xinghuan Square, where there are water ghosts eating people. Last night, a girl passing by was dragged into the water when a passing girl was saving it. It wanted us to save people."

Ye Tianshuang, who grabbed the last quicksand bag next to him, and Lu Wangzhi looked at each other.

"Water ghosts? But ordinary ghosts are not under our control. We can report them to the Security Department or the Operations Department." Ye Tianshuang said, "And even if what it said is true, it's been a night, and it's probably time to save people now. The daylilies are getting cold."

The puppy seemed to understand what they were saying, and then clinging to Lu Wangzhi's trousers, the only person in this place made it feel close, Lu Wangzhi didn't dare to move, and looked at Ye Tianshuang as if asking for help.

Ye Tianshuang: "How about I contact the Operations Department directly? Maybe they will send someone to take a look..." But she herself felt that it was impossible. The huge vertical compass in the middle suddenly clicked, and the big pointer turned rapidly at the same time, and a sharp alarm sounded immediately.

The startled Zhuang follower came out of his office.

"what's the situation?"

With half of the quicksand bag still stuffed in his mouth, Ye Tianshuang stared up at the compass, his expression changed when he saw the position pointed by the largest needle, he swallowed the bag with difficulty, and said loudly: "...it's Xinghuan Square .”

Everyone was surprised and turned to look at the puppy. Zhuang Sui walked over and picked it up. He didn't think it was dirty. He turned around and glanced at the compass. The Xinghuan Square embedded in the north of the central axis looked like a Like a Tai Chi disc, the feng shui pointer belonging to it is turning crazily counterclockwise, and even the pointers of the surrounding buildings are shaking slightly.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with what the puppy said, but since the alarm has sounded, there must be something wrong with Xinghuan Fengshui. Well, I'll take it to have a look, and Ye Tianshuang is responsible for reporting." Zhuang Sui said Go out first.

When passing by Lu Wangzhi, the puppy whimpered at him, and Lu Wangzhi followed in a few steps: "I'll go with you."

**

Xinghuan Plaza is not far from Fengshui Department, and it takes three stops on the central axis line.The two came out from the exit, and the puppy broke away from Zhuang Sui and ran to the other side, beckoning them to follow.

On the other side of the exit is the channel where the water accumulated. When they arrived, the water had not been cleared, and it looked neither muddy nor deep. The bottom could be seen at a glance of more than ten centimeters, so there was no one there.

"It's just ordinary rainwater." Lu Wangzhi said, water ghosts are generally drowned people, and most of them like to move around the area where they died. There are water ghosts.

The little dog whimpered and lingered helplessly on the edge of the stagnant water, obviously also feeling quite puzzled.

Lu Wangzhi even took off the hair rope and tried to use soul energy to attract nearby spirit bodies, but nothing came of it.

He and Zhuang Sui looked at each other, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that it rained too much last night, and it misread it?"

Zhuang Sui lowered his head in thought, caught something out of the corner of his eye, raised his right hand and observed in the dim light.

Because he had just hugged the puppy, his hands were not clean, and there were mottled gray spots mixed with the traces left after the water stain dried up, which was very inconspicuous, and it was no different from ordinary dirt if you didn't look carefully.

Zhuang Sui rubbed those gray dots with his thumb, and a subtle golden light was fleeting on his fingertips, and the gray dots turned into powdery smoke and scattered into the air.

This movement was too subtle, and Lu Wangzhi, who turned his back to observe the structure of the passageway, didn't see it.

"It's not wrong." Zhuang Sui said.

"Huh? What?"

Zhuang's follower picked up something at the junction of the wall and the stagnant water. Lu Wangzhi took a closer look and found that it was a one-sided broken diamond earring. The style should belong to a young woman.

The two of them were trying to find out if there were any other clues, when a human voice suddenly came from the entrance of the passage: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Several people in uniform appeared outside the passage, some with brooms, some with small water pumps, and they were looking at Lu Wangzhi and Zhuang Sui suspiciously.

These people looked like Xinghuan's cleaning staff, Lu Wangzhi said calmly: "We were trying to pass through here, but the water was too deep to pass."

The person in the lead said, "I'm sorry, it rained too much last night, and the surrounding area is full of water. Wait a moment, you two, we can leave after we suck up the water."

Without hesitation, they quickly drained the stagnant water, and after a while, the passageway became much cleaner.

Zhuang Sui put away the earrings and picked up the puppy with one hand, and walked out of the passage with Lu Wangzhi.

Outside is the atrium rest area on the first floor of Xinghuan, Zhuang Sui said as he walked, "It's good now, the water has been drained, and nothing is found except this earring."

Lu Wangzhi thought for a while: "It would be great if I could see the surveillance around here."

Zhuang Sui is not very optimistic: "But it stands to reason that the disappearance time is too short. If no one reports the case, we can't apply for monitoring. And the puppy ran out by itself. After it left, whether the girl left by herself is also a problem. .”

Hearing this, Lu Wangzhi looked up and looked around, his eyes lit up when he caught a glimpse of the surveillance camera not far away.

"Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome." He said, "I probably have a way to adjust the monitoring."

Immediately full of curiosity, Zhuang Sui followed him onto the escalator, and as soon as he went up, he saw a storefront facing a store.There is a large Y-shaped logo on the gate, and the entire store has a large space. Through the glass window, you can see the new cars displayed inside.

Zhuang Sui recognized the sign. This is a store selling new energy vehicles, and the price is not cheap in his impression.

Feeling a little puzzled, Lu Wangzhi had already opened the door and walked in.

"..." Zhuang Sui was carrying a slumped puppy, whose fur was so messy that he didn't mind throwing it away, so he sighed and followed quickly.

As soon as he entered, a clerk greeted him: "Sir, your puppy... can't be brought into the store."

Lu Wangzhi raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when the two people who were looking at the car next to him turned their heads when they heard the movement.

Lu Wangzhi was because of his spiritual power that had not been fully recovered, while the other party was because of the limelight that was robbed by Lu Wangzhi in the Dingcun incident.

It was Ye Yipeng from the Action Department who was watching the car. He snorted, turned around and said to the sales manager beside him, "Can such a dirty dog ​​enter the store?"

The sales manager talked with him for a long time and finally got a full order. Seeing the situation, he raised his voice towards Lu Wangzhi: "Sir, pets are not allowed in our store."

The clerk next to Lu Wangzhi received the other party's signal, immediately turned his head to the door and raised his hand, and was about to ask Lu Wangzhi to go out, but at this time someone pushed the door and came in. When he saw someone coming, his expression changed, and the words slipped away from his lips. He turned a corner and quickly bowed his head to say hello: "Morning Huo."

The visitor nodded, seeing a few people at the door, frowned and said, "Why are they all gathered at the door?"

The clerk hurriedly explained: "I was telling this gentleman that pets cannot be brought in."

The man nodded, raised his legs and walked in. When he passed by Lu Wangzhi, he suddenly stopped the car and let out a snort.Then the clerk who had been paying attention to his movement was surprised to find that Mr. Huo showed a smile as if his face changed, and said in surprise: "Mr. Lu! What brought you here?"

It was rare for the clerk to see the other party showing such an attentive expression, so startled, the hand that asked someone to leave trembled slightly.
