Little Mr. is one hundred years old

Qing Huan pushed open the door, and the sound of water came from the bathroom.

He took a deep breath, walked slowly to the bathroom, stood outside the door, and called inside: "Ji Zhiqiu."

"..." There was no echo.

"Ji Zhiqiu."

"..." There was still no response.

"Ji Zhiqiu, I'm going in."

Qing Huan opened the door of the bathroom and walked in - the water from the shower was spraying out, but there was no one inside.

Qing Huan turned around and searched all over the room and the balcony, but there was still no one there, so he didn't give up and searched all the other rooms, but the result was still disappointing.

he's gone.

He appeared so suddenly and left so suddenly.

If what Grandpa Ji said is true, how did Ji Zhiqiu come back?After he came back, why didn't he go home to report his safety, but stayed at his place?Could it be that... he has something to hide?

Seeing Qing Huan sitting on the stairs in a daze, Xiao Lian walked over and said in a low voice: "Master, that... that Ji Zhiqiu, master... don't you find it strange?"

"Strange?" Qing Huan looked up at him.

"I found out when he came in..." Xiao Lian pursed her lips, "He's not the same as before."

"Different?" Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, and said, "He has studied in the military academy for so long, and there are always some changes."

"It's not that different..." Xiao Lian knelt down and grabbed Qing Huan's hand: "Master, didn't you really notice? He has become... very scary... he doesn't look like a person at all..."

"It doesn't look like a person..." Qing Huan murmured: "What do you mean... He is not a human being..."

Ruan Ruan also said, "Sir, I'm sure he's not human, but I can't tell what it is..."

Bai Zi also rubbed his head against Qing Huan's feet, and Qing Huan understood what it meant—it turned out that Bai Zi also noticed something was wrong.

No wonder, no wonder they behaved so strangely when I brought Ji Zhiqiu in just now.

If it was Qing Huan from before, he would definitely have noticed Ji Zhiqiu's weirdness, but now he has no sense of that aspect... so he has never noticed... Obviously Ji Zhiqiu did behave differently from before, but he only thought it was Because of the training in the military academy, but I didn't expect it to be...

Qing Huan remembered what Ji Zhiqiu had said to him, the way she looked at her so intently, and the last hug——

what is the problem……

That Ji Zhiqiu who disappeared in the desert, this Ji Zhiqiu who suddenly appeared in front of him...

Qing Huan took out his mobile phone and flipped through the message records - he had received so many messages from Lou Zhao and the others at that time, he just glanced at the content, and then set all the messages as read.

"Ji Zhiqiu...Ji Zhiqiu..."

Qing Huan read silently, and began to read Ji Zhiqiu's messages one by one.The first few messages are similar, they are all asking for their own news, but the later messages are like reporting their own whereabouts——

'I started to leave today, and I don't know when I will be back.However, Qing Huan, when I finish my mission and come back, I will definitely visit you. '

"Qing Huan, you don't know how big the desert here is, and all you can see is sand or sand. You haven't seen it before, have you?" '

'The farther you go to the center of the desert, the worse the signal is, why don't you reply to the text message? '

"Qing Huan, we encountered a sandstorm today, and I was almost buried in it... But, someone still died. '

'We're running out of water, but I can hold on. '

'Qing Huan, we found what we were looking for!I think we're almost done with our mission and we can get back to you then! '

'Qing Huan, maybe I shouldn't have come this trip. '

'Qing Huan, I think'...

The last message is obviously not finished!

Qing Huan scrolled down, but this was already the last message.

Why... why didn't I see it before... If I had the patience to read it, if I saw it earlier...

Qing Huan immediately called Grandpa Ji, and the old man answered the phone quickly——

"Hello, Qinghuan?"

Qing Huan cut to the chase and asked, "Grandpa Ji, I want to ask you, what exactly is their mission this time?"

"This..." Grandpa Ji hesitated.

"If you want me to help you find Ji Zhiqiu, you must tell me the truth."

There was silence over there: "Qing Huan, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that this is indeed a confidential mission."

"What level of confidentiality?"

"Class A."

"Okay, I see, Grandpa Ji, don't worry, I will help you find Ji Zhiqiu." After finishing speaking, before Grandpa Ji could respond to Qing Huan, he hung up the phone, and he directly dialed another number——

"It's so late, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to call me." There was a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice.

"I want to know, what is the content of the A-level mission you recently went to the *** desert?"

"That... How did Mr. Xiao know? I thought Mr. Xiao didn't want to get involved now."

"To be honest, a friend of mine disappeared during that mission, and I have to find him."

"My friend is missing?" There was a pause: "You mean that grandson of Lao Ji?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Xiao has a wide range of friendships."

"Can you tell me the content of the mission now?"

"Mr. Xiao should know that knowing the content of the mission means that you have to participate."

"I know."

"Okay." The other side responded very readily: "In fact, this mission failed. I was still thinking about how to invite Mr. Xiao. This mission is actually... to find the ghost city in the desert."

"Desert ghost town?"

"To be precise, we are looking for something in the ghost town..."

At two o'clock in the morning, in the dim night, a black off-road vehicle parked at the gate of the lakeside community. The door opened, and the young man with a backpack on his back got into the vehicle neatly. The vehicle started, and then disappeared into the endless people around the corner.
