Chapter 559 Becoming a Family
“The first question, what do you like to eat?”
“Meat.”
“The second question, what flowers do you like? ”
“Brain flower”
"...The third question, where do you live?"
"Rooms 12, 7, 8, 34, 2, 6, 32, 32nd Floor, Building 72, Thirty-Nine Fong."
< br>Liu Sheng was confused as he listened.
It’s a good thing the old lady can remember such a long list of numbers.
“The fourth question is some common sense questions. When was the capital of warehouses established?”
The old lady looked at Liu Sheng deeply.
Liu Sheng looked back innocently, smiling in a strange and harmless way.
After a long while, the old lady spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "Ten years ago, one day, we all 'woke up'."
Mao Wa also snarled softly to express her agreement. .
【Ten years ago? Wasn't it the year of the Si Tianjian Incident? 】
This thought flowed through Liu Sheng's heart, and the expression on his face was as usual.
“The fifth question, how did Mao Wa become your family?”
The old lady didn’t think much and said slowly: “Everyone who knows me knows that I am in the warehouse. I picked him up a few days after the capital was established."
"Then. It wasn't raining heavily, nor was it snowing. He was just thrown into the trash by someone. His tearful appearance made people feel soft, so they took him home."
As she spoke, she gently took him home. Stroking Mao Wa's hair, Mao Wa nestled in her arms, looking extremely peaceful.
Liu Sheng frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Why was that fur baby... abandoned at that time?"
The old lady said calmly: "Because it was not completely purified."
"The warehouse was then The city has just been established, many containment models are still being adjusted, and the city lord has just been selected...many like Maowa are wandering around before they are completely purified. After all, not all such strange creatures can be as docile as Maowa. "
Thinking of Mao Wa's violent aura when he stayed in the room, Liu Sheng had some objections to the word "docile", but he could understand what the old lady meant.
"Speaking of which, do you still have a city lord?" Liu Sheng asked curiously.
The old lady got up, walked to the window, opened the clean floral curtains, and pointed in one direction.
Liu Sheng looked in the direction she pointed, and saw only the shadows of countless tall buildings in the darkness. He didn't know what the old lady was referring to.
"Over there is the City Lord's Mansion, which manages our 108th community."
[Corresponds to the 108th Street in Chang'an. 】
“Are there East and West cities?”
"Yes, we usually buy groceries, dance, etc., right there."
"Dancing?"
"What? Can't we have some recreational activities?" The old lady narrowed her eyes. , a fierce light shot out.
"Okay, okay." Liu Sheng said hurriedly.
【The retirement life of this weird thing is quite rich. 】
The old lady snorted coldly.
Liu Sheng blinked and showed a sincere smile.
"Okay, the phone questions are set up."
As soon as these words were spoken, as if for verification, the phone suddenly rang, tearing apart the brief silence.
Under the cold gaze of the old lady, Liu Sheng pressed the speakerphone.
A cold mechanical voice sounded: "Welcome to call, please answer the question after a beep."
The old lady sneered: "Quite straight to the point."
Of course the other party wouldn't Hearing what the old lady said, she just cursed anxiously: "Damn it, what's going on? I have to answer questions even after making a phone call!"
However, due to the influence of some strange signal, the other party's voice also appeared. A certain distortion that cannot be discerned.
The old lady was used to it, so she let herself go and saw what Liu Sheng had set up.
drop!
"What do I like to eat?" the mechanical voice asked.
"You?" The other party was confused for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, you, you eat meat, you must eat meat. Who among us doesn't care about eating meat..."
" Correct answer!"
"Hey, next question..."
"Why are there still more!!!" The other party was also furious.
But the mechanical voice still asked the next question calmly.
After all the questions were answered, the old lady picked up the phone and called the other person by name: "Lao Cai, what's the matter?" "Oh, Sister Wang, is it too troublesome to call your home? Can you call me?" I’m sweating all over my forehead.”
“Aren’t you afraid that those things will keep coming into the phone? You know, not to mention how difficult it is to deal with, it’s just very annoying.”
"Yes, yes, it's a harassing call..." the other party responded, "But it's okay, I can finally get through it. You always refused to answer it before, and you had to ask the neighbors to call you..."
Although this strange thing was anxious, he talked endlessly.
So the old lady said coldly: "Let's get to the point."
"Oh, it's urgent. Do you want to take this order?"
"What to do? "
"What else can I do, just do some cleaning! It's such a mess now, there are a lot of people coming..."
Liu Sheng listened silently, but saw the old lady looking at him inexplicably because of these words.
【Does the old lady think we are doing a good job in cleaning? 】
Liu Sheng glanced at the now bright and warm living room, silently satisfied.
【We do have some experience now. 】
"Okay." The old lady responded.
The other party immediately became happy and said: "It would be great to have you, senior cleaning..."
"I asked my granddaughter to go for me."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Sheng and the other party They were all shocked.
The other party was silent for a moment and said hesitantly: "You...your granddaughter? You, the new one?"
"Yes."
The old lady didn't deny it, and Liu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. He heard her say again:
"It's a rare opportunity, so I want her to show her face."
"Hiss... But today's work It's not easy..." The other party was a little embarrassed.
【Cleaning? Isn't it just a matter of cleansing? How difficult can it be? 】
“She’s fine.” The old lady said.
[Sure enough, grandma has great confidence in us. 】
【Look at this house, can you not have confidence? 】
"Oh, that's okay." The other party seemed to know the old lady's temperament, so she obeyed, "Then let your granddaughter get the tools and see you at the city lord's mansion."
Then the phone hung up. Broken.
Liu Sheng looked at the old lady and asked curiously: "Why do you want me..."
The old lady said directly: "You have done so much, don't you just want to find your companions?"
Liu Sheng nodded slightly, showing no fear. I expected the old lady could see it.
"When I came back, I heard that the people who were caught were sent to the city lord's mansion by people from the community, so you can go there to look for them."
"Thank you." Liu Sheng said sincerely.
“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me, cleaning is not an easy job.”
With that said, a black card was handed to Liu Sheng.
The old lady said calmly: "This is my work permit."
Then.
“These are my work clothes and tools.”
“Why are the cleaning tools guns and ammunition?”
"Why can't we use guns and ammunition for cleaning?"
Liu Sheng was confused by this rhetorical question. The old lady finally thought of explaining:
"The floors and toilets we are cleaning are not "
"What is that?" Liu Sheng asked curiously.
"It's something that comes up from the abyss." The old lady said calmly.
Liu Sheng was shocked and could not hide his expression for a moment.
The old lady continued: "We monsters are already too close to the abyss. Although we have recovered some sanity after purification, it is inevitable that we will gradually get closer to the abyss as time goes by, and we will get closer and closer. ..."
"But because of this, only we can clean up those things in the abyss."
Liu Sheng felt a chill in her heart, and suddenly realized that the role of dragon veins may be more than just that. It is as simple as suppressing the warehouse and suppressing the strange things.
And these strange things are not just as evil as she once thought.
[No, we changed this idea very early. 】
