Lao Gong is my food reserve

022 The Secret of the Attic

That being said, Jing Ze actually didn't believe it, if it was just because of this, it wouldn't alarm Chu Yixuan to come over in person.

Perhaps it was because the young man had already opened his mouth to solve the problem. The girl in the red skirt hesitated for a while, and finally bravely raised her head to look at the legendary powerful and unkind ruler of the Chu family: "Master Chu, my sister was indeed murdered by the Xiao family. Although I have no conclusive evidence, among the trainee bodyguards the Xiao family has recruited in recent years, every batch has disappeared inexplicably and their whereabouts are unknown. I have contacted the families of those people in private, and the Xiao family has not given a reasonable explanation so far. "

Those who can be selected by the Xiao family to enter the company and become trainee bodyguards are mostly young men and women with good looks, ordinary people with no family background, or weak practitioners without background.

Once something happened to these people, after the family members received a sum of compensation, most of them would not say a word.

The girl in the red skirt is called Xu Yiyi, and she lives with her missing sister Xu Nana. Both of them are low-level practitioners who have just awakened their talents.The elder sister saw that the salary offered by Xiao's recruitment was good, so she went for an interview. The younger sister wanted to be an ordinary person, got into a good university, and planned to find a clerical job after graduation, so she didn't come with her.

"My sister will contact me once a day to report her safety. A week ago, her mobile phone suddenly stopped working. She couldn't get through for three consecutive days. I was really worried, so I asked for leave. As a result, no one here They refused to let me in, and they refused to admit that my sister is the trainee bodyguard here."

Xu Yiyi was forcibly driven away, and happened to meet a few family members who also came to seek an explanation. Their children also entered the company, but their whereabouts were unknown and they lost contact, but no one was able to enter the Xiao's building.

"In the evening of that day, I received an anonymous letter, which contained a 100 million check and a typed letter, asking me to leave here after receiving the money."

Xu Yiyi looked at the check and realized that her sister was probably killed. After several days of planning and planning, she finally found an opportunity to sneak into the skyscraper of Xiao's house in the middle of the night, but there was no higher-level She could only plan a "haunted" supernatural event on the second floor in an attempt to get the police involved.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family had no intention of calling the police.

"I just used my mental suggestion to let those security guards see some mind-disturbing images, but I didn't do the rest, and I don't know why those people have been unconscious."

After Xu Yiyi finished speaking, she lowered her head, her eyes were a little red and swollen. Originally, she just wanted to find out the truth and seek justice, but in the end, she implicated other innocent people.

Just as she was silently repenting, a bag of pastries was handed to her: "Here, here you are."

Seeing her looking at him stupidly, Jing Ze simply stuffed the pastry into the other's hand and continued, "Eat it, I hear your stomach growling."

"Aze, I'm hungry too, what do you think should I do?" Mo Chenyi thought about it carefully, and wanted to laugh. He remembered that when he was in Panlong Town, the young man was very protective of food. Could it be... First love?

In fact, Jing Ze doesn't like sweets very much, and he used to have no scruples, but later found that eating too much sweets caused toothaches, so he restrained himself a lot.

This time he specially asked Chu Chu to help pack a large batch of pastries, naturally not for himself, seeing Mo Chen Yi looking at him with a smile, there was a hint of meanness in his smile, Jing Ze resolutely refused to talk to him, a pair of The big black and white eyes stared intently at Chu Yixuan, waiting for the other party's decision.

His intuition told him that the Xiao family must not be as simple as "haunted". From the time when Chu Yixuan arrived here, the other party should have been on the top few floors of this skyscraper.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yixuan said, "You all come with me."

The "you" he said naturally refers to Jing Ze and Xu Yiyi.

When Mo Chenyi heard this, he turned his head to look at his close friend quite unexpectedly. Based on his understanding of Chu Yixuan, the other party shouldn't take such "small things" and other things.These two kids don't know what's going on, how could he not know about those shady things about the Xiao family?

Although the Xiao family is also one of the four major ancient martial arts families in the imperial capital, it ranks last. Xiao Yuanjie is arrogant and ambitious. He only wants to make some achievements to prove himself, but instead he got into a dead end.

The number one security company in the country?The name sounds very loud, but in the eyes of the industry, it is just a joke.

Before Xiao Yuanjie's intern bodyguards became formal contract workers, in addition to routine training, they were provided to the "big shots" in Vanity Fair like items with clearly marked prices. Only those who are eliminated by the market, those who accidentally lost their lives have never heard of it.

It was because no one was killed, and the Xiao family paid a large amount of sponsorship money to the Practitioners Alliance every year, so the alliance turned a blind eye and did not interfere in the "household affairs" of the Xiao family.

Mo Chenyi didn't think that Xu Yiyi's sister was killed because she refused the unspoken rules, but the thing upstairs was obviously more troublesome.

"Thank you, Master Chu." Seeing that Chu Yixuan seemed to be planning to help, Xu Yiyi immediately bowed gratefully.

Jing Ze seemed to glance at Mo Chenyi inadvertently. Compared with Chu Yixuan, the micro-expression of this purple-haired fox is more worth exploring. He was just suspicious at first, but now he is almost sure that the Xiao family did appear. Big deal.

The elevator went all the way to the top floor of the skyscraper. The moment he stepped out of the elevator, an astonishing chill rushed over his face. Jing Ze's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes locked on the destination instantly. The black mist that ordinary people could not see spread little by little against the ground Come out like devil's minions.

Some familiar feeling.

Jing Ze looked away as if nothing had happened, and secretly observed the three people beside him.

Xu Yiyi didn't notice anything yet, but felt a little cold, rubbed her arms with her hands, and muttered that the air conditioner was so low.

Mo Chenyi obviously couldn't see the black mist either, relying on his intuition, he was able to dodge the black mist pretty much.

Jing Ze's eyes finally fell on Chu Yixuan, and an imperceptible golden color flashed in his eyes. It was joy and a tinge of admiration. Thanks to being a real dragon, Hei Wu made a detour when he saw him.

"Ah Ze, follow closely." Chu Yixuan didn't miss the look of the "little apprentice" looking around, just thought he was young and curious, but this place is obviously not a place suitable for young people to explore.

"Oh." The boy responded obediently.

Although Jing Ze said so, his eyeballs were still floating everywhere. In this floor, except for the four of them, there was no trace of other people. Judging from the trajectory of the black mist spreading, this A conglomerate of filth is the large conference room a few meters away.

Mo Chenyi walked in front of the crowd, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, put them on, and pushed open the heavy carved wooden door.

Jing Ze glanced at the pair of gloves, which were equipped with a special magic circle defensive magic weapon. It seemed that this guy was quite cautious. After the door was pushed open, he finally saw what was inside, his pupils shrank slightly, no wonder he was at the entrance of the elevator. At that time, I felt a sense of deja vu.

The huge conference hall was empty all around, and there were nine wooden statues in the center. Arrived, the formation is more complete, and has been modified.

"This formation was originally used to summon evil gods. The layout has been revised twice, and now it looks more like..." Mo Chenyi observed it solemnly, and came to the conclusion, "By plundering other people's vitality And talents, to supplement their own deficiencies. Moreover, the formation builders have obviously noticed that the formation has been discovered and have cut off contact."

Jing Ze looked at the purple-haired fox a little bit unexpectedly, and then heard Chu Yixuan's voice coming from his ear: "Everyone thinks you are not doing a proper job, but you have not lost the Mohist's unique skills."

Mo Chenyi immediately teased humbly: "Master Chu is absurd, compared to you, I'm just superficial."

Jing Ze put one hand in his pocket, and was about to step forward, but Chu Yixuan quickly grabbed him, "Ah Ze, don't move."

"Hmm." The boy's eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the slowly moving black mist on the ground. There were still traces of the enchantment here, indicating that the top floor of this skyscraper was in a state of isolation and sealing before. It is estimated that Xiao The people at home only recently realized something was wrong.

He wasn't sure how long this formation had been in place, just looking at the black mist that was about to condense into a solid body, it had obviously swallowed the lives of many innocent people.

What a crime.Jing Ze secretly sighed, if he hadn't helped Xiao Zhantian back then, perhaps there would be nothing to do with the Xiao family today, after all... the talents of this big family are not very good.

"Is there a way to remove it?" Chu Yixuan asked.

"It's a bit tricky." Mo Chenyi looked solemn, "We must find the person who set up the formation."

Jing Ze came back to his senses, and happened to hear the conversation between the two, guessing: "Did someone from the Xiao family do it?"

Chu Yixuan and Mo Chenyi didn't deny it, the answer has basically surfaced, and there is no other possibility except for the Xiao family's internal thieves.

"Wait a minute, Master Chu, Young Master Mo, what do you mean, my sister and those who disappeared for no reason lost their lives because of this thing?" Xu Yiyi folded her arms tremblingly, still unable to stop trembling.

Jing Ze sighed softly, stepped forward to hold her arm, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you downstairs first." After staying in this place for a long time, even he felt oppressed. I also quite appreciate this kind of people who are pure in heart and have kind thoughts, just do a good thing casually.

Xu Yiyi stubbornly shook her head: "No, I can't leave yet, the real culprit hasn't been caught yet."
