Chapter 17 Chaoyang: ???
At this point in time, Chaoyang couldn't think of anyone else who would break in except Chaolu.
But he remembered that he had left a mark for Chaolu, so why was she exposed?
"Could it be..."
Chaoyang frowned, and then a picture flashed through his mind.
After dinner in the evening, Baldy and Monkey each took a baby away, but instead of sending them back to the room directly, they took them on a tour.
In a nice way, they were considered one of our own, so naturally they had to familiarize themselves with the environment—even though the room they lived in was locked.
He remembered that when he was in the bald man's room, he staggered when the bald man put him down, causing the invisible pen in his pocket to fall out.
The pen cap fell off.
"Could it be... that she took the wrong turn at the corner, and then saw a fluorescent spot at the bald guy's door, so she thought..."
Is that the room he and Mibao are in?
Chaoyang: “…”
That's really bad.
"Brother Chaoyang, what happened?" Mi Bao, who had woken up, walked behind Chaoyang and tugged at the corner of Chaoyang's clothes.
Chaoyang looked solemn: "Chaolu came to find us, but it seems that Baldy and the others found us."
"ah?"
Mibao suddenly looked anxious and worried.
"What should we do? Can we go and save her?"
Chaoyang was helpless: "We can't even get out of this door..."
"Oh, yes, the door is locked." Mi Bao looked annoyed.
But soon her eyes lit up again: "Ah, I can find my brother! Brother, brother, are you awake?"
[Yes, I'm always here.]
The system speaks.
"Brother, is there any way you can open this door?" Mi Bao said anxiously, "We want to go out and save Sister Chaolu, but the door is locked."
Let me see...
The system looked at the current points, then looked at the system mall, and actually found something that could be redeemed.
[Got it! Master key for mechanical locks!]
Mibao's eyes lit up: "Really?! Brother is so awesome!"
[Of course. Wait a moment, I'll exchange it for you right away.]
The system is very proud.
Meanwhile, Chaoyang, who was watching Mibao mutter to himself, said: "..."
It seems that Mibao's condition is getting worse.
I actually thought a virtual being could help.
He sighed softly and took a step closer to Mibao. Perhaps he should remind Mibao and make him sober up.
"Mibao, I know you are anxious, but..."
“Yes!”
Before Chaoyang finished speaking, Mibao excitedly raised a freshly baked golden key.
"Brother Chaoyang, we can open the door and save Sister Chaolu!"
Chaoyang: ???
Wait, where did this key come from?
He was a little confused, and then subconsciously thought that it was the key to Mibao's house, and that Mibao was imagining that it was a master key.
until……
Meeple placed the key on the door, and then… the outside lock snapped off.
Then, Mibao pushed the door open a crack and turned to look at him.
"Brother Chaoyang, let's go."
Chaoyang: “…”
No, this... isn't this Mibao's fantasy?
Why did a master key really appear!?
Shocked and confused, Chaoyang stared at Mibao in amazement for three seconds before walking out in a daze.
Although...but...
The most important thing now is to let Chaolu escape safely.
So when he went out, Chaoyang almost instinctively cleaned up the mess and put the door lock back on to prevent anyone from discovering it.
Soon, the two little kids ran towards the source of the sound, but they took another route so as not to be discovered by the gang of bandits.
At the same time, Chaolu was also shocked. She really didn't expect that she would be exposed because of this!
"Chaoyang, you big idiot, how did you mark it?"
She couldn't help cursing as she ran.
Fortunately, she is a sports student with good physical fitness. Although she is not familiar with this shabby place, she still runs very fast and leaves the adults behind her far behind!
But as I just said, she is not familiar with this place.
so……
As she ran, she found herself in a dead end.
Chaolu: “…”
It's over.
Now the whole army is going to be wiped out.
As she listened to the shouting and footsteps becoming increasingly clearer, she leaned against the wall and broke out in a cold sweat.
If I get caught later, is it better to kneel down and beg for mercy or kowtow repeatedly?
Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly heard some strange noises above her head.
She raised her head in confusion, and then saw... the iron mesh of the ventilation duct above was removed from the inside, and then a small head poked out.
"Sister Chaolu!"
Mibao looked at her with sparkling eyes, then stretched out his hand towards her.
“Come up quickly!”
Chaolu was shocked, but there was no time to ask any more questions, so she quickly stepped against the wall to gain leverage, jumped up and grabbed Mibao's hand.
However, Mibao's strength was definitely not enough, so Chaoyang quickly reached out and grabbed her other arm, and the two little kids worked together to pull her up.
As soon as we pulled the person up, the bald guy's gang arrived.
Chaoyang quickly put the metal net back, and then the three little ones huddled aside and didn't move.
"Strange, where are the people?"
The bald man looked around with a flashlight in confusion.
"I clearly saw that thing running towards here."
What the hell?
Others also ran over and looked around with confusion on their faces.
Yes, they all saw that person running so fast running towards this side, so how come he disappeared?
"Boss, maybe that person was originally a beggar who lived here?" Monkey began to analyze. "I just asked the brothers on patrol outside, and they said there was nothing unusual. This means that he might have been here all along."
The bald man narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean... the other party is very familiar with the terrain here, so we can't find him?"
The monkey nodded.
When the bald guy heard this... he thought it made a lot of sense.
"It's possible." The bald man touched his chin. "I smelled a foul odor when I first opened the door, and the man looked very thin. He might really be a beggar who has been malnourished for many years."
Zhaolu who was hiding above: "..."
You are a beggar.
She stinks because she was splashed with urine by an unrefined adult!
She is short and thin... Damn, a twelve-year-old girl should look so majestic and powerful!
"Forget it, what kind of trouble can a stinky beggar cause? Let's all go back."
The bald man finally waved his hand and said.
"Go back to bed!"
Everyone thought so too. A skinny beggar who was scared and ran away when he saw people was just like a rat in the gutter. There was nothing to be afraid of.
At most, mice will steal food in the middle of the night.
It’s okay, they will hide all the food later!
So the crowd left in high spirits and calm was soon restored.
It was only at this time that the three people huddled in the ventilation duct breathed a sigh of relief.
