Chapter 123 Fireworks Night Work at the Ghost Building (Additional Update 23)
Night has fallen.
This was supposed to be the ghosts' favorite moment.
However, today, the cabin where ghosts are kept appears to be exceptionally clean.
Swish.
rustle.
In the corridor, there was the sound of rattling, and from time to time there was the sound of metal colliding with bells - this was the sound of keys colliding.
The ghosts trembled and huddled in the corners.
Starting in the afternoon, a terrifying demon descended on this mountain hut.
It grows countless tentacles, squirming wantonly in the dim light.
It captures all ghosts along the way and stuffs them into a green pocket.
Behind the demon, in the huge green pocket, countless ghosts were writhing miserably.
Click click click.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a key opening the door.
Squeak——!
The door was opened a crack.
The next second, an egg covered with unknown patterns was rolled up by a tentacle and thrown in.
The ghosts trembled in panic.
This heralds the coming of that demon.
Hanabi opened the door to the room and found that Benben was not surrounded by ghosts.
It scratched its hat in distress.
Those ghosts were so scared that they did not dare to have any desire to attack, so they ignored Benben's "taunting".
Hanabi put up the vines, looked around the room, and announced: [I'm here to clean the room! ]
The ghosts were all silent and did not dare to make any sound.
Hmm.
Since these ghosts don't bother me, there is no need to catch them.
Hanabi walked into the room with her roots squirming and started cleaning happily.
Xiao Caocao is in a good mood today.
At the end, it did not forget to wax the wooden floor with mucus.
Squeak.
Hanabi rolled up Benben and squirmed towards the door.
It was dragging a bag made of vines behind it.
Inside the bag are a group of ghosts who have given up their struggle.
Hanabi, arrest all the troublemakers.
After Xiaocao left, the hiding ghosts cautiously poked their heads out.
Just when they wanted to celebrate each other's survival, the door was suddenly opened.
A seal hat poked out from the crack in the door: [Don't get it dirty, I'll check it out later. ]
After saying this, Hanabi left with peace of mind.
In the study room on the first floor, Zhou Lufan looked at Professor Ouyang's research materials.
The tail feather of the ghost dragon was placed in front of Professor Ouyang, with a stone emitting blue light underneath it.
This is what Xiao Xi calls the ghost stone.
Ouyang Xun kept looking at the information, and the only time he spoke was to ask Zhou Lu about the whereabouts of the ghost dragon.
After the Pact of the Dead was completed, the ghost dragon attached itself to the tail feathers. Even if its body was destroyed, it would no longer have any impact on it.
So after Zhou Lu returned to the academy, he took the time to visit the secret mountains and rivers.
He buried the little tit's body on the mountains and rivers, which was considered as letting the little tit go home.
Ouyang Xun didn't show much regret about this, but took out a magnifying glass and looked at the tail feathers carefully, and then continued to look through the information.
There seems to be some huge secret hidden here?
Zhou Lu recalled what he saw and heard in the cave at that time.
I didn’t feel anything unusual at the time.
“Don’t take it to heart, that’s what teachers are like.”
Jiang Shuqi, standing next to him, said softly.
“He always gets carried away when doing research, and unknowingly he will complete the students’ research.” Jiang Shuqi recalled her student career, the corners of her mouth raised slightly. "Speaking of." She looked at Zhou Lu again, "Do you know about Lin Dong's disappearance?"
Finally.
Zhou Lu's heart moved.
Lin Dong is also a rising star of beast control. Coupled with his huge fan base, his disappearance can be said to have attracted everyone's attention.
In the days after Zhou Lu came back, this case was being discussed enthusiastically in all the online forums that he could access.
So during those few days, either to soothe his mood or to avoid the limelight, Zhou Lu did not show up during the whole process.
Looking back at the entire process, Zhou Lu suddenly felt that he seemed to have left many flaws.
There is no way, it is the first time to do this kind of thing, even if you have been careful, there will still be some oversights.
But he has made up all kinds of reasonable reasons for this.
The most important thing is that he has no superficial connection with Lin Dong.
But what surprised Zhou Lu was that the investigators seemed not to even visit the relevant personnel.
Gradually, this matter came to an end.
Now, in addition to fans still clamoring, the official definition is that he is missing and is still under investigation.
Zhou Lu immediately understood that someone was preventing the matter from continuing to investigate, probably because the immortal was involved.
Jiang Shuqi suddenly mentioned this matter, which surprised Zhou Lu.
Fortunately, his expression management has always been good.
“I heard about it.” Zhou Lu said calmly, “I had a beast-control duel with him, and the ghost dragon won.”
The status of the little tit’s tail feathers has been clearly shown Zhou Lu had already reached a contract with the dead, so Zhou Lu didn't hide it completely.
Sincerity is sometimes the best disguise for lies.
What Zhou Lu said was true, and he naturally had a clear conscience.
“I didn’t expect that he would disappear.” Zhou Lu said, and even maliciously speculated, “Isn’t it because he was defeated by me?”
Jiang Shuqi helped him Adjusting her glasses, she smiled and said, "Maybe it's true."
She seemed to want to say something else, but at this moment, a black ghost suddenly appeared in front of her.
Jiang Shuqi was obviously shocked, and the books in her hands fell to the ground.
[Ding, mission failed]...
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Zhou Lu's ears.
This is the system prompt for failure to kill Jiang Shuqi.
Before Zhou Lu could react, a net bag quickly caught the ghost.
[Owner! I'm done cleaning! ](*^▽^*)
Hanabi, who had a full harvest, happily showed off her achievements to her master.
The green pocket woven with vines is full of all kinds of ghosts.
I wonder if I can learn a few skills this time.
Zhou Lu thought to himself, leaned over and rubbed Hanabi's hat, and said with a smile: "Then let's take a rest first."
Hanabi patted the leaves to show that she wasn't tired.
As he spoke, it released the shackles of the pocket and released all the captured ghosts.
The ghosts rushed out like the wind and disappeared into the darkness in a short time.
As if running away from some scary guy.
Hanabi looked at these escaped ghosts and held up her hat.
It looks so interesting...
Would you like to catch it again?
Benben sensed Hanabi’s thoughts and immediately shook wildly to express his dissatisfaction.
Its vibration formed a certain resonance with the Hanabi vines, and it actually made a sound like a bell.
This transformed Hanabi's tail into a rattlesnake's tail.
"I understand!"
At this moment, Ouyang Xun slammed the table.
He looked at Zhou Lu excitedly and said, "We'll set off tomorrow! Go there and have a look!"
"Huh?" Zhou Lu, who was about to settle the reward, was a little dumbfounded.
