She walked down the stairs slowly, and another shadow flashed past her.
Almost in sync with the shadow, Lu Cai quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed the black shadow.
The black shadow was originally moving at a very fast speed and was about to disappear into the darkness, but it was pulled to a stop.
Lu Cai grasped the object in his hand, and the last bit of hesitation vanished. As long as it was a physical object that could be touched, there was nothing to fear—
Thinking about this, he exerted force with his fingers, tightened the other person's shoulders, and pulled him back.
Despite trying hard, he couldn't pull it free. The other party was also exerting force in another direction. The two of them were in a stalemate, and the scene seemed to be still.
Both sides were stunned, neither of them expected the other to be so strong.
In a flash, the two men attacked together. Lu Cai slashed forward with his dagger, and the shadow raised its sharp claws and grabbed at Lu Cai's face.
Seeing the sharp claw approaching, Lu Cai changed the direction of the dagger and chopped towards the claw.
The sound of flesh and blood being torn apart was exceptionally clear in the darkness. In the dim light, Lu Cai could vaguely see four slender, shriveled fingers detaching from a thin, flat palm.
A stream of sticky pus splattered out from the broken finger, and a strange sour smell filled the closed basement.
The sour smell of the unknown liquid inevitably reminded people of its corrosive properties. Lu Cai retracted the red barrier, a faint red light passing over her skin as she prepared for defense.
The shoulder she was holding tightly suddenly disappeared, and she took two steps back to guard against the pus.
When I looked up at the scene in front of me again, the black shadow was no longer visible.
After standing quietly there and making sure that the thing was gone, Lu Cai took a step forward and squatted down to look at the slime on the ground.
It was still very sour, like the sour smell of rotten food, mixed with the stench of the sewer.
Lu Cai wrinkled his nose and looked at the dark mucus on the ground. The light was too dim to see the color clearly.
Standing up again, she walked to the closed door.
There was no handle on the door. Cai Lu gently touched the door frame with his fingertips, and the data fell from his fingertips onto the door, passing along the edge of the door, looking for the location of the door lock.
In fact, you can just punch it, but hitting the door directly will only make a small hole. If you want to remove the door, you will have to spend some effort to make the small hole bigger.
Of course, if you rely on supernatural energy to invade and infect and destroy the gate, that's possible, but it's time-consuming.
Lu Cai felt that without copying and infecting the other party's data, her data could be mixed in and acted quite smoothly. Finding the door lock and breaking it with one punch was a relatively quick method.
Finally, the red data is gathered in the center of the right side of the door panel.
The door lock was half on the door and half embedded in the door frame. Lu Cai planned to break the lock on the door, remove it, and the door would open.
After stretching his fingers, Chief Lu raised his hand, clenched his fist, and punched the door lock.
With almost no effort, the door lock was knocked down with one punch, and Lu Cai pushed the door open.
This room is not bad, at least there is a light bulb, although it is red.
Looking at the red lights covering the walls and the floor, Lu Cai lamented the visual pollution and the nervousness... This KB game really gives players the ultimate gaming experience -
Compared to the previous room, this one was much simpler, with just a bed and a table. At first glance, it was spotless, with no place for even a person to hide.
Lu Cai walked around twice and found that this room must be cleaned regularly.
Although the wooden boards were worn, they were not stained with gray, and the bedding was neatly folded and placed on the wobbly bed.
After searching for a while and finding nothing, she opened the pillow and saw a pocket sewn with rags on the zipper on the back of the pillowcase.
After turning it over, I found that there seemed to be some papers stuffed inside the rag pocket.
Cai Lu reached out and pulled out the notebook tucked into the pillowcase. It was a notebook that was common on the market in the early years.
It was very thin and torn. She flipped through a few pages and saw crooked handwriting everywhere, probably someone practicing calligraphy. She flipped through the pages again, and the last few pages were still blank.
Until I turned to the last page, I saw a crooked pencil handwriting on the cover, with a large, twisted word - paragraph.
Lu Cai raised his eyebrows. It was "Duan Ce" again?
After all, he is the only main character with the surname Duan.
After taking a few more glances at the scene in front of her, she felt that Duan Ce should not end up so miserably.
Putting the notebook back as it was, she prepared to leave.
There is no other entrance to this house except the one we came in through.
Lu Cai frowned and walked out of the room, returning to the dim environment.
Could she be wrong?
Just as she was thinking this, she paused, raised her eyes, and slowly turned to look at the room in the door frame.
This location, this decoration...
Standing outside the door and looking into this secret room was the same room where she had stood in the foggy corridor and watched the hunchbacked security guard die.
However, the tall wooden table has become a table board... and the corner where the bed board is placed...
That corner is where the crystal coffin is placed.
Lu Cai frowned and walked back. She walked to the edge of the table, squatted down and knocked on it for a while, then lifted the board. She also knocked on the concrete floor below for a long time. After confirming that it was solid, Lu Cai stopped.
She felt that the main plot of this copy was within reach.
Duan Ce is the owner of the hotel. In this simple secret room there is a calligraphy book with the word "Duan" written on it.
What secrets does this hotel have?
As she pondered this, Lu Cai felt a chill on the back of her neck. She quickly jumped up and slashed with her dagger. The long rope was severed by the blade. Lu Cai stepped back to gain a clearer view of the person approaching her.
He had a hunched body, shriveled limbs, a face covered with wrinkles, and his gray hair was tied behind his head with a black hairnet.
The hotel's housekeeper, the woman who had strangled Duan Ce in his previous life, was holding a rope that would have been around Lu Cai's neck if he hadn't noticed.
Lu Cai had a gloomy face and sharp eyes, and was wary of the woman in front of him.
The cleaner chuckled and said, "Little girl, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to do what you're here for." Lu Cai said in a calm tone, and secretly immersed the supernatural energy into the ground under his feet.
Hidden beneath the ground, the red color slowly expanded, silently covering the entire house.
Until the energy hit a square stone and was abruptly blocked.
It is the direction of the bed board.
"You may not be very old, but you have a big temper." The cleaner smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face doubled.
Lu Cai looked at the rope in her hand and said, "I think my temper is pretty good now—"
The cleaner walked to the bed with a smile, squatted down with difficulty, and folded the quilt and pillow that were in disarray on the bed.
He watched her tidy the bed quietly. After the cleaner breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Cai asked her, "Who lived here before?"
The cleaner looked at her and smiled: "Do you think people are born good or bad?"
Cai Lu raised his eyebrows. What? Did he want to debate with her here about "whether human nature is good or evil"?
"Some people are born evil, and are called evil. Some people are clearly evil, but no one punishes them..." The cleaner didn't care whether Lu Cai answered or not. "Some people were evil in their previous life, but they do good things in this life..."
Lu Cai opened his eyes wide and quickly regained his composure.
There was too much information in this passage, so she calmed herself down.
"Is the person living here surnamed Duan?" Lu Cai gripped the dagger in his hand tighter. "What's his relationship with Duan Ce? Is he Duan Ce's child?"
The Duan Ce she mentioned was the scumbag Duan Ce who had a wife and daughter in the side story.
The person in this house might be surnamed Duan, and the person strangled by the cleaner was the scumbag Duan Ce. At that time, the woman said something - what did that child do wrong?
Born evil, this made Lu Cai think of Tingting.
Yes, Tingting’s surname is also Duan.
Add to that the scumbag Duan Ce, and there are two generations of villains in their family...
The person imprisoned here also has the surname Duan, but the cleaner in front of me said, "Some people are said to be evil from the moment they are born."
Born bad.
Lu Cai couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
The cleaner's laughter was low, and in this small room, it sounded like the humming of a ghost.
"When you die, you will naturally know the truth—" The cleaner slowly raised his head with a cold look in his eyes.
Lu Cai watched the old woman twist her neck, the bones breaking with a cracking sound, and the corners of her mouth cracked.
When the cleaner crawled to the ground, Lu Cai instantly retracted his supernatural energy, like a flower suddenly closing, with the red petals quickly curling inward.
The humanoid monster lying on the ground was extremely fast and was about to crawl in front of Lu Cai in the blink of an eye. Looking at the approaching monster, Lu Cai jumped back and escaped from the barrier.
Then a red light enveloped the other party, and the cleaner twisted his body and rammed the red barrier frantically.
Lu Cai was very aware of her own supernatural energy. The battery symbol on her wrist had begun to heat up. This barrier wouldn't last much longer...
Moreover, Lu Cai might have a boss battle...
Thinking of this, she felt a little sad. If her energy was used up, she would have to sacrifice her body to the heavens later.
Lu Cai's mind raced, going over all the characters in his mind. Finally, his eyes lit up: "Is the person locked up here a hunchback boy?"
The struggling cleaner suddenly quieted down. Lu Cai didn't expect that he had guessed right.
Then the hunchbacked boy can't be the son of the scumbag Duan Ce. Are they brothers?
Taking advantage of the cleaning lady's momentary silence, Lu Cai ran to the bed. Just as she had lifted the table top, she also lifted the bed. Then she reached out and groped around on the floor. She didn't find any gaps or secret compartments, but it felt incredibly warm.
This... a naturally heated kang? That hunchbacked boy is quite good at building a nest for himself. It's indeed warm sleeping here.
With her palm pressed against the ground, she injected a stream of data into the ground and explored downwards along the source of heat. She felt that the thing that had just blocked the supernatural energy was deep underground.
"You can't find it." The cleaner, who had given up struggling, slumped on the ground, watching Lu Cai's actions, still grinning.
"Is it this one that made a deal with you?" Lu Cai asked her.
In the end, the other party just grinned and didn't answer.
Cai Lu frowned, looked at the cleaner twice, then turned to the ground, raised his fist, and hit it hard.
The author has something to say:
Congratulations to Lu Cai for winning the title of “House Demolition Expert”!
