Chapter 171

Because of the cooperation of the other party, Xu Ming finished his work earlier than expected today.

She had nothing else to do for the time being, and since the shadow dog that had finally broken free was having fun, Xu Ming decided to take the shadow dog for a walk outside.

Gu Yunshu came back first and brought everyone Xu Ming's latest notice - the demolition office will hold an internal meeting on Wednesday, and except for Qiu Yufei, all employees who do not have ghost talk tasks should be present.

When she came back, there were only Lu Yueling and Whale Fat Man in the villa. One was sitting in the living room, watching the house while watching videos on Xu Ming's laptop, and the other was looking for snacks everywhere while Xu Ming was away, and his potato-sized body was almost completely buried in the refrigerator.

Gu Yunshu brought the notice, and Lu Yueling looked a little confused.

"Wednesday... I want to watch the live broadcast tonight." She whispered, closed her laptop, thought about it and asked again, "What kind of meeting is it?"

Gu Yunshu took the blubber man who had been eating secretly out of the refrigerator, recalled Xu Ming's words, and repeated them word by word: "Build a new propaganda front and create a public opinion moat."

Lu Yueling: "..."

Her eyes became more confused: "Huh?"

"Oh." The blubber man struggled out of Gu Yunshu's fingers and patted his round body unhappily, "It's a discussion meeting on navy training."

"...Oh."

In fact, she still didn't quite understand, but Lu Yueling felt that she should make an expression of sudden enlightenment at this time.

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Is it important?"

"Yeah." Gu Yunshu nodded, turned back to the kitchen, put the fruits and vegetables that were turned out by the whale fat man back one by one, and said as he put them back, "The boss plans to unite with Hu Yang of Quan Weird Stories. Therefore, publicity is very important."

To put it bluntly, it is just like in the Butterfly Building, to gain Hu Yang's trust, support Hu Yang to take the position, and the two parties reach an agreement. While providing certain help to Hu Yang, use Hu Yang to watch the door...

At least from this situation, this method is still feasible.

Of course, not all weird stories have Hu Yang. But as long as conditions permit, they can also transplant Hu Yang into the weird stories-but this is a higher-level goal.

Lu Yueling nodded, not quite understanding. On the other side, Gu Yunshu had already sorted out the refrigerator and was going to the glass room to inform Niu Buge and the others.

Lu Yueling wanted to go play with Guo Shuyi and the others, so she hurried to follow them, intending to let Gu Yunshu and others send her into the ghost story. The whale fat man was left alone in the living room, doing a manicure for a while. Seeing that no one seemed to be coming for a while, he quickly climbed in, ran into the kitchen, and climbed up along the refrigerator. He

climbed all the way to the refrigerator, grabbed the handle and started pulling it out. After pulling for a long time, Wen Si did not move. Suddenly, he reacted and jumped back to the ground. In a few seconds, he squeezed himself into an adult's height and successfully opened the refrigerator door. But just as he opened it, he smelled the breath of a spirit outside the door. He quickly shrank his body and hid inside again. He

hurriedly closed the refrigerator door, and soon he felt the breath gradually fade away. Not long after, the sound of footsteps approached and walked into the kitchen step by step.

The whale man suddenly realized that it must be Xu Ming who came back.

He slept too much today and missed Xu Ming's going out. He only saw his body left at home. The movement just now should be Xu Ming who returned to his body in the sleepwalking state and went straight into the kitchen...

As if to prove its idea, Xu Ming's voice came from outside the refrigerator: "Sister Tong, Sister Tong - Oh, is Sister Tong not at home?

"What a coincidence, then I have to cook for myself! "

Bubble Man: "..."

What are you doing?

Inside the refrigerator, the bubble man poked his head out from behind the jam bottle with a confused look on his face.

Of course it knew Sister Tong, that is Panpan's mother. Panpan took her mother's surname, and both mother and daughter had the surname Tong.

When she hadn't remembered her own name yet, everyone called her Panpan's mother for convenience; as her memory gradually recovered, the name was gradually changed to the more convenient Sister Tong or Aunt Tong.

But that's not the point - the point is that the bubble man remembered that Sister Tong had told Xu Ming today that she I have to go out.

Panpan now goes to a nearby school to audit basic classes when she has nothing to do. Sister Tong is also not idle, and she goes to adult cram schools everywhere. Sometimes when she meets a dead person who is still conscious during a class, she will try to take him home, trying to give every dead person a home.

Today she went to a class. Because the class schedule is quite full, she will be back very late. She even said hello to Xu Ming last night. Now that Landor is autistic and Xu Ming is not very good at cooking, the food basically depends on her and Qiu Yufei.

...Of course, the most expected thing is take-out.

Now the kitchen at home is mostly managed by Landor, and the new kitchen utensils are all matched according to his preferences. He doesn't seem to like others messing with things here, and Xu Ming is very considerate of this and usually doesn't let others in.

The fat man remembers clearly that when Sister Tong and Xu Ming asked for leave last night, Xu Ming agreed so straightforwardly and vowed that he would never be hungry...So what does her mumbling to herself mean now?

...And it doesn't make sense if you think about it carefully. Who can talk to themselves so loudly that you can hear them through the refrigerator door?

The more the whale man thought about it, the more puzzled he became. The next second, he heard a loud "clang" outside - as if something had fallen heavily to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Xu Ming's mumbling again: "Oh my God - why am I so careless! I actually dropped the pot on the ground!"

...Just, it was super loud.

It was so loud that it couldn't be ignored.

After a pause of a few seconds, he inexplicably added: "It's a newly bought non-stick pot! It's said to be very useful!"

After a moment of silence, he added again: "The non-stick coating on it has fallen off, a large piece of it has fallen off! "

The three words "a large piece" were emphasized.

However, after the words fell, it was still quiet outside. The fat man quietly put his ear against the wall of the refrigerator, but heard nothing except the groaning of the shadow dog when it moved.

... Even stranger. Inexplicable.

The fat man tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Turning around, he found a box of unopened sliced ​​cantaloupe. His eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore. He rushed over and began to tear the tape on the fruit box.

After just two pulls, there was another "ding-dong" sound - as if more things fell to the ground.

Xu Mingchao's loud muttering to himself then sounded again:

"Oh, more things fell on the ground!

"The whole shelf was touched. I was so careless!"

"The cutting board, the colander, the butterfly knife... the knives also fell, and they were neatly arranged..."

After that, there was silence. Still no response.

The whale fat man tilted his head in confusion, and soon turned his attention back to the fruit box in front of him, and continued to work hard to eat the melon.

... Outside the refrigerator, Xu Ming looked at the kitchen utensils scattered on the ground, looked at the tightly closed compartment door not far away, and looked at the shadow dog squatting behind him with a happy face, but his expression became more and more solemn.

There is no reaction even now... It seems that the situation is a bit serious.

Or wait and try walking farther away? Maybe Landor will think that he is gone and will take the initiative to come out to clean up...

Then he has to find a way to catch him in time. This is a bit difficult. Otherwise Ask Gu Yunshu and the others to help?

Xu Ming thought uncertainly, leaned over and quickly picked up the kitchen utensils on the ground and hastily put them on the sink.

Because he thought he would use them to make a Landor trap later, Xu Ming did not bother to clean them up. Thinking that he had not eaten yet, he turned around and walked towards the refrigerator again. The whale fat man who was tearing the seal of the fruit box in the refrigerator froze, and the next moment, he heard a slight sound - Xu Ming opened the door of the freezer below.

"I remember there should be frozen dumplings... um, what is this? "

Xu Ming poked his head into the refrigerator and pulled out a frost-covered package. After a careful look, he found that it was the seasoned steak he had bought before.

Compared to dumplings, the chicken fillet seemed to be more delicious. It's just that it needs to be thawed first, which is a bit troublesome.

Xu Ming pursed her lips, stood up with the bag, walked to the sink and started to add hot water, without noticing the suddenly widened eyes of the shadow dog behind her.

- Until the hot water was finished, she was about to throw the bag of chicken fillets in.

Xu Ming was startled by her arm being pressed down from behind, and turned back subconsciously, only to find that the shadow dog behind her had changed his appearance at some point.

...turned into a bear the size of an adult.

Before she could react, the bear suddenly reached out and lifted her up by the waist, turned around firmly, carried her all the way out of the kitchen, and gently put her down.

With a snap, the chicken fillet in her hand was taken away. With another bang, the kitchen door in front of her was closed.

Through the transparent kitchen door, Xu Ming could see clearly - he saw the bear took a few steps back alone, suddenly shrank its body, its outline squirmed and shrank, and soon turned into a black monkey again.

The monkey was not big, but its movements were very flexible. While jumping up and down, he had already prepared a bowl of salt water, and carefully put the chicken fillet to be thawed in it. While waiting for it to thaw, he started again. It quickly started to clean up the kitchen utensils that were randomly placed on the counter. After finishing, it opened the refrigerator while talking to itself, as if it wanted to find some other ingredients that could be used. Its eyes swept across the refrigerator's refrigerator layer, but it was obviously paused...

The next second, it reached out without hesitation, picked up the blubber man, opened the kitchen door, and threw him out directly.

When the blubber man was thrown out, he was still holding the sliced ​​cantaloupe he had just shaved out. He was still dazed for two seconds after landing. After a moment, he turned his head gently, and met the indescribable gaze of Xu Ming next to him.

Blubber man: "..."

Another silence. It slowly raised its hands: "Um, do you want to eat melon? "

…" Xu Ming ignored it.

She just closed her eyes and took a breath in restraint. Then she looked at the kitchen vigilantly, and after confirming that the monkey inside was busy with its own things and could not take care of her for the time being, she retreated step by step and carefully.

After retreating about five or six steps, she suddenly turned around and accelerated suddenly. In a blink of an eye, she had rushed to the stair compartment, and then without hesitation, she raised her foot and kicked!

With a "bang", the compartment door opened. The man behind the door looked up in confusion, revealing a pair of empty eye sockets.

——Sure enough!

Xu Ming's mind suddenly moved.

Under normal circumstances, Landor and Shadow Dog are two independent individuals, but only under one circumstance can he fully master Shadow Dog's five senses and even completely control Shadow Dog's actions...

That is when he puts his consciousness completely on Shadow Dog.

At this time, he himself is unable to perceive the external situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, while Landor was still Without any reaction, Xu Ming stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

Just as he grabbed it, he saw Landor closing his eyes belatedly, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to normal.

When he regained consciousness, an obvious embarrassment appeared on his face. His brows twitched slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to pry Xu Ming's hand away. Just as he was about to move, he seemed to realize something and held back. He just held back his strength and stubbornly stood there, refusing to move.

"I know you are worried... but don't worry."

He spoke stubbornly, his voice was not loud, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something: "I'm just in the awkward period, it will be over. I can handle it, really."

"Come on, who is in the awkward period and says so many things in one breath? Do you think you are a seahorse, giving birth with a puffing sound?" Xu Ming was determined not to let go, and pulled the man out with all his strength. Half of his body was sticking out of the door during the action. Turning his head, he saw the blubber man sitting not far away with a piece of cantaloupe in his arms. He looked at this side blankly and took a bite of the melon.

Xu Ming: "..."

So you really ate it, right??

He took a breath and opened his mouth to call the man over to help. Unexpectedly, the blubber man didn't respond as soon as he spoke, but the shadow dog in the kitchen came running over happily - without Landor's control, it It switched back to the most basic big dog state, and the moment it approached, it raised its front legs out of habit and was about to pounce on Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was startled and dodged subconsciously. During the movement, he heard a "ding bang" sound, as if something fell to the ground.

The next moment, there was a "puff puff" sound.

Countless moths rushed out from the corners of the compartment.

At the same time, countless tiny whispers flew out.

Like snowflakes, they were disturbing and surrounded Xu Ming in a blink of an eye.

——"I want to see her, I want to see her very much." ——

"So happy, so happy."

——"I want to go out, I want to go out. Why don't you go out?"

——"I don't like cats. ”

——“Please don’t touch my kitchen.”

——“Why are you so bad? It’s so bad.”

——"Don't cause trouble for her."

——"You are causing trouble for her again."

——"Can you be quiet, can you be quiet, can you be quiet."

——"Why can't you do anything?"

——"You are nothing like her."

——"...It's better to die."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Xu Ming's chest still trembled unconsciously the moment he heard this sentence.

And in just a moment, his fingers were broken off by Landor.

He was very careful and did not hurt Xu Ming, but he did not give her a chance to attack again - but in a moment, his figure immediately faded. He disappeared directly in front of Xu Ming.

Xu Ming: "..."

Xu Ming: "...???"

"Don't worry. I just became invisible." The whale man trotted to the door of the compartment with the melon in his hand, and immediately comforted him when he saw the situation. Facing Xu Ming's questioning eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and added: "From the breath, it should be going upstairs."

Xu Ming: "…………"

"Thank you." She said, turned around and ran upstairs. Afraid of being embarrassed, she deliberately brought the shadow dog with her. After a few steps, she turned back again and stretched out her hand to draw a virtual circle in the air.

"Help catch those moths in Landor!" She said quickly, "If you can't deal with them, find Niu Bu Plow them! Don't let them run away!"

"...Ah?" The whale fat man was stunned, "But I'm still eating melons?"

Xu Ming took a deep breath.

"You've eaten enough." She said word by word, and after she finished speaking, she turned around neatly and ran upstairs again.
