Chapter 984 Lost and Hide and Seek

"It's not convenient today, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Aunt Yu will always remember the help that Li's mother provided.

Ever since Xiaoya got into trouble, Li's mother has been accompanying her and taking care of her.

Master Xiao was also recommended to her by Li’s mother.

Otherwise, after knowing Master Xiao’s age, she really wouldn’t consider it.

How can there be such a young master?
As it turns out, there is such a young master.

Fortunately, she did not miss the master.

Although she gave away her jade bracelet.

Even though the jade bracelet is an old item handed down from ancestors, it still has extraordinary meaning.

However, things are dead, and people are alive.

As long as my daughter is fine, everything is worth it.

She will prepare a better jade bracelet for her daughter later.

"That's great. I'm looking forward to this meal."

Mother Li smiled and waved to Mother Yu and the others, "Then we won't disturb your family anymore. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Aunt Yu, Uncle Yu, and Yu Xianya."

Li Yan turned around and followed Xiao Xiao who was already going downstairs.

……

Unit building entrance

"Well, Li Yan, Aunt Li, goodbye."

When Xiao Xiao and Li's mother, who had fallen behind, came up to them, Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said goodbye to the two of them.

"Well, Master Xiao, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time."

Mother Li knew that Master Xiao still had things to do next, so she didn't say much, but bowed again to express her gratitude, "Thank you."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "I'm not doing this for free either."

The other party has already paid the corresponding compensation.

"I am leaving."

Xiao Xiao turned and left.

It seems that the tracking of Gu Diao is not going smoothly.

……

"Xiao-"

Li Yan swallowed the rest of his words.

He also knew that Master Xiao was going to chase the guy who had just escaped.

Although he had many doubts, he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, not only is he in the same school as Master Xiao, but he's also in the same major and class.

He has decided to go to Dormitory 417 again tonight.

Even though he kept telling himself not to be anxious, his heartbeat that kept beating faster than usual made it difficult for him to calm down, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

I'm really not calm.

……

Because of the incident with Little Starry Sky, he began to realize that the so-called myths and legends are not necessarily false.

His long-held perception had changed.

Guardian angel.

Even though he was so old, he couldn't help but feel a little envious of the child Xiao Mantianxing.

But, after all, it was just hearsay.

After all, he saw nothing.

This time, he saw the balcony glass shattering with his own eyes.

The abnormality happening before our eyes was even more shocking.

He really wanted to know more details about what happened today.

If the timing wasn't right, he really wanted to run up and ask Yu Xianya what the monster she saw looked like.
……

"Gu Diao, how is it?"

"Have you caught up?"

Xiao Xiao sensed the breath of the Gu Diao and moved towards a certain direction.

"Jie Jie~"

Gu Diao's usually domineering and sharp voice was filled with some doubt and anger.

Missing?
Xiao Xiao was stunned.

Then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

I didn't expect that the monster was so capable that it could escape the tracking of the Gu Diao.

However, judging from its smooth running movement just now, this monster is probably quite good at hiding its body?

"Wait until I get there."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but quicken his pace.

A monster wouldn't just disappear for no reason.

Now that it is hidden, all we have to do is find it.

So, next, is he going to play hide-and-seek with a monster? The thought flashed through Xiao Xiao's mind and a smile appeared on his face.

……

This is an old neighborhood.

Unlike the new residential areas that have dozens of stories high, the apartment buildings hidden behind the trees are only six stories high.

Lush vines cover the mottled and crumbling walls.

A huge black shadow stood on the roof of an apartment building with its wings folded.

Sensing Xiao Xiao's approach, "Jie~"

A dark shadow swooped down.

The wind was howling, and Xiao Xiao's hair on his forehead was flying wildly, and his clothes were fluttering.

The black shadow stopped in the air in front of Xiao Xiao.

The wind gradually died down.

"Gu carving."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the apartment building where the Gu Diao had stopped before, "Is this where we lost the trace of the Leopard Sniper...?"

"Jie Jie~"

The Gu Diao lowered its head and nodded with an inappropriate joy.

Damn it, the monster's figure was clearly in its field of vision just a moment ago.

I didn't expect that the monster would disappear into thin air just for a moment while it was distracted while replying to its master.
No breath at all.

It's like disappearing into thin air.

The pupils of the Gu Diao shrank, and the scarlet blood color became even more intense.

……

Xiao Xiao reached out and patted the Gu Diao lightly, then deliberately bent its head a little, silently calming the monster whose aura was gradually becoming more and more violent.

"It's okay, just keep it hidden for a while."

"We'll find it."

……

In fact, he was not very surprised by this result.

After all, he was deeply impressed by the monster's quick escape using the force he had hit him with.

There was no testing or fighting, it was just so quick and neat.

It was also because of this that he was not careful enough and let the monster escape.

If the monster hesitates even a little, it will not be able to leave.

……

This time, the monster keenly noticed the moment when Gu Diao's attention was slightly diverted because of talking to him, and successfully disappeared from under Gu Diao's nose.

"Hide and seek?"

Xiao Xiao muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, "I am the best at this."

He has always had a keen eye for observation and can always notice some details that are easily overlooked, so he can always quickly find his friends who are hiding in different places.

"This time, I'll come and have some fun with you."

"Sniper."

……

"Gu Diao, come back."

"Jie Jie~"

……

Xiao Xiao walked towards the apartment building.

He doesn't walk fast.

Climb up the stairs one step at a time.

Just as Gu Diao said, he didn't sense any breath at all.

The breath belongs to the sniper.

……

Standing at the bottom of the stairs on the sixth floor and looking up, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but stop and cover his nose with his hand.

The scene before him made him twitch his eyes, frown slightly, and show a bit of disgust on his face.

The door of the resident on the left side of the sixth floor was filled with all kinds of garbage.

I don't know how long it has been there, but it gives off an unpleasant and disgusting smell.

……

Is this still habitable?

Xiao Xiao was deeply skeptical.

You'll be fainted by the fumes every time you open the door, right?

He looked at the doors of the other two houses.

Don't they have any objections?
Or is it that this family refuses to change despite repeated warnings?

He stared at the door on the left that looked a bit run-down due to peeling paint, thinking that it would be difficult for the other two families to have such a sloppy neighbor.
