"I want to try." Qiao Sang looked at his aunt and said firmly.

Although the person who issued the task might be a difficult person to deal with, her intention in accepting the task was to train the ability of her pet, and she did not consider the person who issued the task.

The aunt shook her head secretly and didn't say anything more to dissuade him.

She pointed to the right and said, "It's the room at the back. Go ahead. I won't follow you in."

"good."

Qiao Sang came to the door of the designated room.

The door was ajar, but out of politeness she knocked anyway, but there was no response.

I knocked again, but still no one answered.

Knock again.

"Are you annoying? The door is not closed. I told you it's the innermost room, but you kept knocking." A strong voice came from inside the room.

Qiao Sang: “…”

The task publisher feels very difficult...

When I pushed the door open, a strong and unpleasant smell of medicine hit my nose, mixed with a special smell of an old man.

Although it was a hot summer day, the room felt damp and cold.

An old lady with silver hair, high cheekbones and a wrinkled face was half lying on the bed near the window.

Before Qiao Sang introduced himself, the old lady asked, "Do you have a ghost pet?"

Her eyes were very sharp, and she looked like an old lady with a bad temper.

"Yes, it's a treasure-hunting ghost." Qiao Sang came to the bed and answered.

In order to ensure the privacy of both parties, the Beast Taming Center will not disclose the specific information of both parties.

"Search~"

As if to prove its existence, the little treasure-hunting ghost appeared above Qiao Sang's head and shouted.

The old lady was distracted for a moment when she saw the little treasure-hunting ghost that suddenly appeared, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

After a moment's silence, she picked up a photo from the bedside and handed it to Qiao Sang. Qiao Sang took it and looked at it. The photo showed a girl wearing a floral dress and having two dimples when she smiled.

The blue lamp-shaped pet in his arms is the Ghost-Sucking Lamp.

The old lady just handed over the photo and didn't say anything.

Qiao Sang felt that he had to ease the atmosphere, so he said, "The girl in the photo is really pretty, I wonder who she is?"

Under normal circumstances, the photos handed over at this time are the person's own.

Although the girl in the photo smiles so sweetly, she doesn't look as difficult to deal with as the old lady does now.

But as for people, there are definitely huge changes when they are young and when they are old.

Considering the ghost-absorbing lantern she is holding, it is not difficult to infer that the girl in the photo is the old lady.

Qiao Sang silently praised his own wit.

She pretended not to know who the person in the photo was. The old lady would definitely be secretly happy to hear the compliment. After all, women, even when they are old, always want to hear others praise their beauty.

At that time, the old lady will say in person that this is her.

Then, you can pretend to be surprised and praise the old lady a few times, so that she will feel satisfied to the extreme. Are you still afraid that she won’t give you a good review in the end?

“This is my granddaughter.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Why don't you follow the normal plot! "Last month, my granddaughter took the ghost-absorbing lantern out to play, and she never came back." At this point, the old lady paused and suddenly became sad: "Now my granddaughter is gone, and the ghost-absorbing lantern is gone too."

Qiao Sang's heart trembled. His granddaughter is gone? !

What this means is...

She considered it slowly and asked softly, "Did the police have any clues later?"

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "A bunch of useless guys. If I had any clues, why would I issue the task?"

Qiao Sang felt heavy in his heart. This mission actually involved another person...

It is understandable that the Ghost-Sucking Lantern cannot be found after it has gone far away, as it is a ghost-type pet and its whereabouts are inherently strange. But if it cannot be found after the person disappears together, it is not an ordinary lost case.

After all, surveillance is ubiquitous in society now, and people cannot become invisible, so how is it possible for them to disappear on the spot?

The ringing of a bell pulled Qiao Sang back from his thoughts.

It’s the old lady calling.

"Hey, Nannan... I've taken the medicine. Grandma is fine..."

Because the room was extremely quiet, Qiao Sang could vaguely hear the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

It's a girl, and her voice sounds about the same age as the girl in the photo.

After the old lady hung up the phone, Qiao Sang hesitated and asked, "Is it your granddaughter calling?"

"Um."

"May I ask how many granddaughters you have?"

"one."

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds before she asked, "So what do you mean by starting to say your granddaughter is gone?"

The old lady looked over with sharp eyes: "She later went to Lianke District with her parents. What are you thinking about?"

Qiao Sang: “…”

She wants to change her mission...

“…”

"The right side of the lamp stand of my ghost-absorbing lantern is missing a piece. It was broken when it saved me when I was 28 years old. There is also a red fingernail-sized mark on its head. It was left by the low-quality dyeing cream I used on it when I was young. And..."

The subsequent conversation went somewhat smoothly.

During the conversation, I don’t know if it was because the old lady had a contract with a ghost pet, but the little treasure-hunting ghost kept floating around the old lady, as if it felt something attracting it.

…

Qiao Sang walked out of the room and came to the door to put on his shoes.

The aunt who had been staying in the living room came over and stared at Qiao Sang for a while and said in a low voice: "I think you should change your task."

Qiao Sang looked up and asked in confusion: "Why?"

In the conversation with the old lady just now, she also learned that this aunt was hired by the old lady's son to take care of her, and they were not relatives.

But even if this is the case, if there is no special reason, this aunt should be on the side of her employer.

If it was because of the old lady's strange temper, she remembered that she had made it clear at the beginning that she didn't care.

The aunt turned her head to look at the inner room and lowered her voice again: "The old lady doesn't have much time. By the time you find the ghost-absorbing lamp, it will be of no use. I just want to remind you because you are still young."

Qiao Sang was a little stunned. Although the old lady looked very old, she spoke with full energy and seemed to be in good spirits.

Moreover, his eyes were very sharp, and he didn't look like he had not much time left.

Besides, when she knocked on the door at the beginning, the old lady said something that clearly showed that she had heard the conversation between her aunt and her in the living room.

How can a dying old man have such good hearing?

Although her room smelled of medicine, but...

etc……

Qiao Sang suddenly felt something was wrong.

The old lady's room was at the very back, a certain distance away from the living room. The aunt's voice was still at a normal, low volume. The door was ajar at first, but the gap left was negligible.

When she first came, the aunt went inside to find the old lady to confirm her identity.

But she didn't hear any of their conversation, which showed that the sound insulation was quite good...

But why can't she hear clearly while the old lady can hear clearly at the same distance? Qiao Sang took a deep breath and asked slowly: "Do you think the old lady can hear what we are talking about now in her room?"

Auntie was stunned for a moment: "How is it possible?"

At the same time, the old lady lay down on the bed and covered herself from head to toe with the quilt.

A faint voice came from inside.

"You think I can hear everything I think..."
