Li Sui Town News 8
Spirit pet looking for spirit pet...
Chu Li lowered his eyes and looked at his fingertips.
After all, she still couldn't be sure that she could draw a suitable spirit pet with 100% certainty.
But combined with Jiang Xizhi's words, no matter what attributes this spirit pet has, it can perform telepathy.
This is a good idea, at least... she can determine the specific location of the spirit pets.
Thinking about this, Chu Li calmed down a little. She slowly closed her eyes and felt the endless energy in her chest.
After a moment, the familiar blue-purple face appeared in her mind.
Before the card drawing system could speak, Chu Li spoke first: "I want to draw a card."
Although she didn't know what kind of furry creature she would draw, it was enough for her to find spirit pets, no matter what level.
After receiving the player's command, a vortex suddenly appeared on the blue-purple surface and kept spinning.
Chu Li was a little distracted and unable to concentrate.
After a moment, a white light suddenly fell from the sky and rushed towards Chu Li.
Chu Li subconsciously opened her arms to catch the spirit pet, but because it was falling so fast, the spirit pet fell straight into her arms.
She stumbled, and then came the system's mechanical and cold congratulations—
[Congratulations to the player for drawing a rare Samoyed card and unlocking the superpower - keen sense of smell! ]
Chu Li was stunned and his eyes fell on the Samoyed in surprise.
The Samoyed's pure white fur was exposed to the air, and its tongue was open and breathing out air. It noticed that its owner was in a daze, so it patted Chu Li's shoulder with its paw, and then rubbed Chu Li's cheek with its face.
The scene gradually became illusory, the card drawing interface suddenly disappeared, the moon was in the sky, and the pouring moonlight happened to fall on a man and a dog.
“Woof——”
Samoyed's voice brought Chu Li back to his senses.
She paused for a moment, picked up the Samoyed, adjusted its body, and placed it on the ground.
Under the cold moonlight, the pure white Samoyed flapped its tail.
Chu Li reached out and touched its head. The next second, the Samoyed barked at her a few times, then ran out of Youning Courtyard.
Her palm was empty and Chu Li was left standing. She was stunned for a while, her eyes fell on the back of the Samoyed, and the superpowers that the system had just mentioned echoed in her mind.
Suddenly, she frowned and ran away quickly.
There is a tacit understanding between spiritual pets, and the same is true between spiritual pets and their owners.
Chu Li wanted to ask the Samoyed to help find the missing furry creature, but before he could say anything, the Samoyed already knew what Chu Li was thinking.
Samoyeds are large dogs that can run very fast. Chu Li had walked this kind of dog before and could barely keep up with it.
Chu Li watched the Samoyed not far from him running out of the town of Lisui, through the woods he had passed through a few days ago, and then stopped in front of a mountain.
It turned its head and barked at Chu Li.
Found it.
Chu Li understood, took a breath, and raised his hand to touch the Samoyed's head.
The next moment, she looked up at the top of the mountain.
It was already dark, and the road conditions in the mountains were unclear. But in the cold moonlight, Chu Li could vaguely see the outline of the building on the top of the mountain.
She frowned, and after a moment, a burst of messy footsteps came from behind her.
Turning around, he saw You Chengze leading Jiang Xizhi and others running out of the darkness.
When he got closer, Chu Li could clearly see the worry on the faces of others.
"Did your Excellency find anything?" Jiang Xizhi noticed Chu Li's expression and asked.
Chu Li paused, then shifted his gaze to the building and asked, "Is there anyone living on top?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The cicadas chirping all around continued for a long time, prolonging the silence.
"Mayor Jiang, it seems you are still not sincere enough." Chu Li's face was angry and his voice was a little colder.
Jiang Xizhi looked a little embarrassed and lowered his eyes.
The deputy mayor beside him hesitated to speak and secretly glanced at Jiang Xizhi several times, extremely worried that Jiang Xizhi would reveal his true identity.
Chu Li frowned slightly and lost her patience in waiting for an answer. She bent down and prepared to lead the Samoyed to the top of the mountain.
As soon as he took a step, he heard Jiang Xizhi sighing behind him: "No one lives here anymore."
"But my spirit pet sensed that there is someone here." Chu Li turned around and said firmly.
"That's impossible!" The deputy mayor became anxious after hearing Chu Li's words. "The residence up there used to be home to a veteran cadre from our town. He worked diligently for many years, but later passed away from overwork. We buried him ourselves! Stop talking nonsense, you little brat!"
The deputy mayor's voice was a little loud, and the Samoyed on the side instantly sensed the hostility. It stepped forward, blocked Chu Li, and barked at the people waiting.
Jiang Xizhi in front of him raised his hand and shook his head slightly, "Don't be rude."
After saying this, Chu Li felt his gaze on her again.
"What he just said is indeed true." Jiang Xizhi paused, "But your guess is unreasonable. Why not go up and find out what's going on?"
As he spoke, he nodded slightly and walked towards the other side of the mountain road.
The deputy mayor, who was following behind Jiang Xizhi, continued to talk. Chu Li didn't need to listen carefully to know that he was denouncing Jiang Xizhi's decision.
What a headache.
Chu Li raised his hand and frowned.
She took a deep breath and took a step to follow Jiang Xizhi's steps. The next second, a hand appeared in her sight.
In that slender and clearly textured palm, a white handkerchief lay quietly.
Chu Li was stunned for a moment and looked at the owner of the handkerchief.
You Chengze's eyes were not on her. He pretended to be indifferent and looked straight ahead with his lips tightly pursed. The seemingly natural movement seemed extremely awkward to Chu Li.
She had been so distracted by her pet today, searching everywhere like a spinning top, that she hadn't really paid much attention to herself. Now that she had a direction, she realized she was already sweating profusely.
The taciturn person is quite considerate.
Chu Li thought to himself, took the handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face and said thank you.
-
After crossing the mountain road, everyone walked all the way to the back of the mountain.
Pushing aside the dead trees and weeds, the narrow road became wider and wider until the ground was exposed, and then everyone stopped.
Jiang Xizhi was talking to a few minor officials when he saw those men groping for something on the rock wall at the foot of the mountain.
Chu Li was confused, but before he could ask, a creaking sound echoed in the air.
She subconsciously covered her ears and hugged the Samoyed tightly.
When the sound died down, Chu Li looked towards the source of the sound.
A wooden lift suddenly appeared in front of her at the edge of the steep rock.
Chu Li's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh.
"The mountain road is rugged, and there are bound to be ambushes by wild beasts at night. It would be better for you to take this ride." Jiang Xizhi curled his lips slightly and said politely.
After he finished speaking, he took a torch and lit the burning flame, then strode forward and inserted it into the side of the lift.
Chu Li looked at You Chengze, and after exchanging glances, they walked into the elevator tacitly.
The area of the lift platform is not large, and it is already a bit crowded to accommodate Chu Li, You Chengze and others.
Jiang Xizhi had already arranged for the rest of the people to guard downstairs.
As the mechanism started, the lift shook for a while. The Samoyed at the feet was frightened and moved hurriedly to Chu Li's feet.
Chu Li was not used to the lift, and his balance was unstable at the moment. He finally touched the handrail to steady himself and prepared to comfort the Samoyed at his feet.
The next second, You Chengze leaned over and picked up the Samoyed on the ground.
After the lift stabilized, Chu Li heard a chuckle beside his ear.
She was stunned and looked at Jiang Xizhi who was laughing. Then she heard the man say, "The relationship between the two distinguished guests is really enviable."
Chu Li: ? ?
What look?
You Chengze is such a dull guy, so boring. He can't stand me every day, so how can I have a good relationship with him?
Chu Li laughed awkwardly. To avoid a dull moment, she said, "No, he just prefers furry things."
When Jiang Xizhi heard this, the smile on his lips widened, and he inexplicably felt as if he saw through everything but didn't say it out loud.
The misunderstanding deepened.
Chu Li glanced at Jiang Xiting, whose attention was not here, and quickly changed the subject, asking Jiang Xizhi, "Has your father ever come here with a spirit pet?"
“I’ve been here.”
Jiang Xizhi's voice was clear, not as deep as before. He looked at the scene outside the elevator.
Following the line of sight, a vast river stretches across the roads. High in the sky, thick fog lingers, which looks extremely strange.
"This mountain is filled with rare fruits and an endless supply of game. In the past, it was a favorite place for the town's residents to forage." As Jiang Xizhi said this, his brows relaxed, and his tense body seemed to relax a lot. "But the disappearance of children in recent years has made everyone afraid to set foot here again."
"What's the connection between the missing children and this mountain?"
Jiang Xizhi was silent for a while, "My father took his pet to investigate for a while and found that all the children disappeared here."
"You actually hid it from us for so long?!" Chu Li was shocked. "If that's the case, why don't you continue looking? Why did you stop us from coming up?!"
Just as Chu Li finished questioning, a shrill baby cry suddenly came from his ear.
She covered her ears almost instinctively.
It was that terrifying voice again.
Chu Li let out a light click of his tongue, and before he could even stand firm, the baby's voice instantly penetrated into Chu Li's ears, like a sharp blade about to pierce his eardrum.
Covering your hands no longer has any effect.
Chu Li's legs went weak and he fell onto the stage.
The piercing sound caused the blood in her body to boil, and her internal organs seemed to be about to explode.
Chu Li felt extremely uncomfortable and subconsciously clung to the wooden stake.
As the elevator continued to rise, the baby's crying became more and more shrill.
She could hardly bear it any longer and had to find a way to deal with the crying.
Chu Li was thinking, and the next second, a brute force pulled her clothes. She was confused and turned around to see Jiang Xizhi who was also in great pain.
"Chu Li...quickly, use this talisman paper."
Jiang Xizhi's voice was intermittent, and coupled with the crying of the baby, Chu Li couldn't hear clearly what this person was trying to say.
The man next to her tried hard to maintain his balance and threw the brocade bag on his waist into her arms.
"Chu Li! Quick! It's too late! Use the talisman paper!"
Jiang Xizhi exhausted all his strength and shouted in a hysterical voice.
