Chapter 20 You are my only milk!
Jian Yue was very excited when he received the pardon from the president.
It's really effortless!!
Early in the morning, Shen Yushu had to visit the old lady, so he went with her. After coming back, Shen Yushu had meetings and documents to deal with, so he had to go back to the study. Naturally, Jian Yue went to ask Aunt Zhang for the key to the warehouse.
Unexpectedly, I met Tiantian on the road.
Tiantian's eye sockets were purple and her steps were a little unsteady.
Seeing her shaky figure, Jian Yue went over to help her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tiantian was also a little excited when she saw him: "Butler Wang!"
She held Jian Yue's hand tightly and said, "Butler Wang finally found you!"
Jian Yue frowned and said, "What happened?"
“No, no.” Tiantian looked around and whispered, “Actually, after I came back yesterday, I discussed what you told me with my boyfriend. We usually light lanterns at night, but we didn’t last night. Although it was a bit dangerous, we managed to avoid it because we usually exchanged a lot of things in the mall with our points. But we found that…”
Jian Yue was curious: "What did you find?"
"I just... I found out that they took the lanterns from the villagers yesterday." Tiantian's voice was trembling: "Those who were wandering and crawling outside the room yesterday were all the villagers!"
She would never forget it.
The scene she saw yesterday was that her sister next door borrowed lanterns from Widow Li's house. In the past, she also hung lanterns, and she would fall asleep every time the lanterns were burning. Yesterday, she couldn't sleep because the lanterns were not lit. She secretly looked out through the gap in the window and saw a scene that she would never forget. Outside the window, a twisted figure was clinging to the gap in the door opposite, staring at her sister who was sleeping soundly on the bed!
She couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
The head of the twisted figure turned almost 180 degrees, its long hair scattered messily on both sides of its cheeks, its face looking at her with empty eyes, their eyes met, the corners of her mouth stretched into a grin, then she suddenly turned around and crawled towards her in a twisted manner!
Tiantian described to Jian Yue with red eyes: "Then she... yes, then I used the props from the mall... and you know how terrible it was..."
Jian Yue said thoughtfully: "Sure enough, there is something wrong with the lantern."
The audience in the live broadcast room were also amused to see his reaction:
"You're using people as guinea pigs for your experiments."
"I was wondering why you were so kind yesterday."
"The anchor girl is crying, and you're actually thinking about this?"
“The straight man is hopeless!!!”
Tiantian said: "What should I do, Steward Wang? I don't even dare to sleep at night now."
Jian Yue said seriously: "Don't be afraid, it's easy to solve."
Tiantian's eyes lit up: "How to solve it?"
Butler Wang is indeed the most reliable man!
Under Tiantian's gaze, Jian Yue said seriously: "You sleep during the day."
Tiantian: “…”
Jian Yue is a bit busy now, so he said, "Please pay more attention to me in the evening. I have something to do with Aunt Zhang now."
Tiantian has almost become Jian Yue's little follower now. When they were in the yard before, Jian Yue said that there might be something wrong with Brother Dao and the others, and she was a little scared, but her boyfriend said that there couldn't be any problem. She went up the mountain with Brother Dao and the others early this morning. She used to follow them, but she didn't sleep well the whole night, so her boyfriend let her rest in the house.
Not long after she fell asleep, she thought of Widow Li's face again and ran out in fright.
"Butler Wang, are you looking for clues?" Tiantian summoned up the courage to ask, "Can I follow you?"
Jian Yue looked at her seriously: "I am working. What's the matter with me bringing people from the archaeological team with me when I am working? This will make my boss question my professional ability!"
Tiantian immediately said: "My card skill is about to cool down, I'll let you use it for free."
Jian Yue: "But then again, capable people will never be questioned anywhere. If you want to follow me, just follow me."
Tiantian: “…”
The audience in the live broadcast room were very happy, but some viewers were not very happy:
"What's the point of her being so timid?"
"Don't hold back again."
"That is to say, and the warehouse copy doesn't require teleportation."
Jian Yue couldn't see the discussions in the live broadcast room.
Jian Yue found Zhang Ma at the back of the kitchen. He took the initiative to walk over and said, "The carpenters will come to repair the house. I see that the warehouse has fallen into disrepair. Mr. Shen asked me to take someone to tidy it up. Can you give me the key?"
He was a little nervous, worried that Aunt Zhang would not cooperate.
But Aunt Zhang did not hesitate. She was sitting in front of the medicine pot boiling medicine for the old lady. Upon hearing this, she handed Jian Yue a key without turning her head. Her voice was a little slow and had a unique sense of rotten wood: "Go."
Jian Yue's hands were shaking when he got the key. What he got was really a key!
He and Tiantian looked at each other, then turned and walked back.
Tiantian said as they walked, "Brother Dao took us to this warehouse before, but we couldn't get in without the key. Our archaeological team wanted to use the skill card, but it seemed to be protected by the system, and the skill card couldn't open the door. I didn't expect the key was with Aunt Zhang."
After listening to this, Jian Yue became even more certain that this warehouse must contain something that could advance the important plot.
Only when he walked to the warehouse could he see that it was a very large house. There were no windows on all sides and it was all closed. There was only a lacquered wooden door locked with a copper lock. He walked to the lock and opened it with the key in his hand.
Tiantian also held her breath with some anticipation.
As the door was pushed open, Jian Yue walked into the warehouse. The room was a little dark because there were no windows. He turned on the wall light. There was only a dim incandescent lamp in the room. There were rows of wooden shelves filled with some old objects, vases, chairs, pots and pans, and some old boxes containing some ornaments and jewelry.
It can be seen that the Shen family’s ancestors were very wealthy in the past.
The two men searched the warehouse thoroughly but found nothing useful.
You know, when we were in the archives, there were plot progress prompts as soon as we entered, but there are none here!
What happened...
Jian Yue frowned, feeling that something was not right.
Tiantian also said: "Butler Wang, I think this is just an ordinary warehouse, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong."
Jian Yue looked around the warehouse, his eyes calm, and said calmly: "Nothing is wrong is the biggest thing wrong."
He leaned against the door and thought for a moment.
Looking at Tiantian's searching figure, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly opened the system panel. Sure enough, the task bar did not show the completion of [Zhang Ma's Secret]!
Obviously I have the key.
He had clearly entered the warehouse, but the mission was not completed. What does this mean? It means that he did not get the real key and did not enter the real warehouse!
Jian Yue stood up and began to examine the ground carefully.
When he was a forensic pathologist, he had been to many crime scenes and seen countless cases. After entering the scene, the first thing the police would do, besides checking the victim, was to conduct an investigation.
The wooden floor is a bit old due to age.
Jian Yue walked carefully several times, looked up and said to Tian Tian, "Stand still."
Tiantian suddenly stopped in her tracks when she heard his words. She was timid and immediately became nervous: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jian Yue leaned over and knocked on the floor, waving at her: "Come here and listen."
Tiantian came over and knelt on the ground to listen. Jian Yue knocked on the floor and asked her, "What did you hear?"
"It's empty underneath!" Tiantian's eyes widened. After listening to it several times, she was finally sure: "Butler Wang, my major in college is architecture. I'm sure there should be another floor underneath this one!"
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you find the entrance?"
Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "If I can figure out the layout of the room, I can give it a try!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Then you try it."
The audience in the live broadcast room also expressed some emotion, and someone said:
"Where is the person who just said that girls are useless?"
"The difference between the anchor and you is that he doesn't look down on anyone."
"But in horror dungeons, teammates will sometimes turn against you and betray you."
"I hope the girl will be well forever!"
In the room, Tiantian searched for a long time and finally found a wooden board. She said, "Butler Wang, move this table and have a look."
Jian Yue helped her lift the table. As the heavy wooden table was moved away, a sealed wooden door was finally revealed. The door was embedded in the floor and was tightly covered by the table. Ordinary people could never find it.
Tiantian said happily: "Found it."
Jian Yue was not so happy. He looked at the panel of the task system, but there was no response. If the door was not found wrong, it meant that the key was wrong. This was not the key for the floor door.
really.
Jian Yue tried the floor lock with the key in his hand, but couldn't open it.
The sweet smile froze: "What's going on?"
Jian Yue stood up: "I'll go find Aunt Zhang."
This task really couldn't be completed so easily. He knew how could the system release a task that could be completed so easily? He was careless before.
Go through the yard.
Jian Yue found Aunt Zhang who was boiling medicine, and bent down and said, "We went to see the warehouse, but after we sorted out the first floor, the door of the warehouse on the second floor couldn't be opened. Could you please give me the key to the second floor as well?"
Aunt Zhang paused in her action of fanning the medicine furnace, which seemed to indicate some surprise. She slowly raised her eyes to glance at Jian Yue and said, "No."
Jian Yue did not panic, but just said: "This is what Mr. Shen agreed to. I am just helping the boss to solve the problem. Please don't embarrass me. I am just following your instructions."
Aunt Zhang refused to listen. She looked at Jian Yue, her dark eyes turned redder, and her voice became sharper: "The second underground floor cannot be opened. This is the rule left by our ancestors. Even if it is Mr. Shen's order, it cannot be opened!"
Jian Yue frowned.
The audience in the live broadcast room also expressed some emotion:
"This Zhang Ma is very difficult and stubborn."
"Yes, someone from our group died trying to steal a key."
"Mrs. Zhang's condition for killing someone is to steal her things."
"The host must not even think of this. He doesn't even have the skills to defend himself."
“I feel like it’s hanging.”
"There is no other way except stealing because."
"This is going to be difficult..."
The audience rarely began to worry. The further they progressed in the dungeon, the more difficult it became to proceed. The conditions for the ghosts to kill people also became easier. Any wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.
Jian Yue still wanted to reason: "Auntie Zhang, we are not going to move the things in the warehouse, but the warehouse has been in disrepair for a long time and it is easy to collapse. We are just renovating it and will not embezzle anything."
Aunt Zhang said coldly, "If I say no, it means no. This is the rule left by our ancestors!"
Just as she was about to stand up and chase them away——
A golden card was triggered and took effect. It flew through the air and a line of words appeared:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Gossip: Aunt Zhang has a crush on Old Man Liu from the west of the village. When she has nothing to do, she often pawns things in her house to help Old Man Liu! ]
[Skill cooldown time 12 hours]
“…”
The air seemed to become quiet in an instant.
Jian Yue and Zhang Ma looked at each other. Zhang Ma's face changed. She snorted and said, "What evidence do you have to slander me? Even if you report it to the old lady, she won't believe you!"
The audience in the live broadcast room also saw the card skills:
"Damn, she can hear it."
"Wait, she's not afraid of this gossip."
"It's over, it's over."
"Host, you can't threaten the NPC now. The mission is going to fail!"
Just when everyone was talking about it and thought that Jian Yue was finished, Jian Yue did not panic after hearing what Zhang Ma said, and the two of them looked at each other for a while.
Just when Aunt Zhang wanted to chase him away.
Jian Yue stepped forward and said, "Look at what you said. To be honest, I felt close to you the first time I saw you. I felt that you were a bit like my grandmother. It's a pity that my grandmother is not around. From now on, you will be my only grandmother. I see that you have worked hard in this house. It is only right for you to pawn your things. I haven't had time to show my filial piety to you, so how could I possibly go and complain? Don't you think so..."
Just as Aunt Zhang was distracted, a roll of something was handed to her. She looked down and saw that it was real cash.
Eyes met.
The air was silent for a moment.
Under Jian Yue's gaze, Zhang Ma's old face showed a bit of satisfaction for the first time. She slowly put away the money, took out a key from her waist and handed it to Jian Yue, saying, "Hey, kid, you're such a fool. You come here and bring something with you. Okay, okay, you young people really have to work. I'm an old woman and I don't understand these things. I have to stay up late for the old lady. Go and do your own thing!"
The silver key fell into Jian Yue's hands, and the system announcement was refreshed at the same time:
Side quest: [Zhang Ma's Secret]
Mission reward: Warehouse key.
Done!
After the system announcement was updated, the live broadcast room fell into deathly silence:
“What the hell!?”
"No, so she can be bribed?"
"What was the point of us risking our lives to steal the key?!"
Another wave of viewers are already laughing:
"You guys have good stamina."
"The host also recognized a grandmother. I stopped laughing in the lobby, and the players next to me thought I was crazy."
"Damn it, I won't read the guide for Wanfu Village unless he publishes it from now on!!"
