The surroundings were quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the clicking of dead branches and leaves with the soles of their feet. Xiyou strolled behind Qi Zhao, carefully observing the movements around her. A crow flew past, accompanied by an ominous "Ahhh" sound,

Xiyou couldn't help but feel creepy. The gray weather was not suitable for staying in such an eerie place.

A mouse quickly scurried past Xiyou's feet. Xiyou was so frightened that she stepped back and screamed. Her unsteady steps almost made her fall. Fortunately, Qi Zhao had quick eyes and quick hands and used a scabbard to support the girl's shaky body.

Only then did Xiyou reluctantly stand still.

"I didn't expect you to be so timid. I saw you fighting the White Walkers before, and I thought you were very brave." Qi Zhao threw away the cigarette butt and smiled crookedly. His stubbled face was not slovenly, and he had a unique mature manly look.

spirit.

Xiyou hurriedly stood up and thanked Qi Zhao, tidied up her clothes embarrassedly, and glared angrily at the mouse that ran away, and then with a shyness of being poked into the center of things, she said: "Girls are always afraid.

Animals hiding in the dark, this is an instinctive reaction."

"That's it, it's true." Qi Zhao specially drawled his voice when he spoke, as if he really understood. Xi You stopped explaining and leaned down to continue searching for any clues.

"But you actually know how to go to DX Academy." Qi Zhao took a peek at the girl's serious look and said casually.

Xiyou raised her upper body to take a breath, half-crouched aside and looked at the burly man. Then she lowered her head and continued searching while saying: "After all, it can be considered a dream." The girl's tone was light, as if she was saying

Something that has nothing to do with oneself, or perhaps a slight sense of inexplicable loss.

Xiyou wore trousers and knelt down without scruple to study a strange wear mark on the ground. The mark was still very clear, as if it had only occurred recently, but how could such a brand-new wear mark appear for no reason in such a deserted place?

Where are the marks? Unless it’s...

She raised her hand to signal Qi Zhao, wanting him to come over and take a look. After Xi You called repeatedly, Qi Zhao looked away before looking at her. He walked past nimbly, and also squatted down to check the subtle things Xi You found.

clue.

Xiyou looked up and said, "This should be a trace that was created recently. It seems that someone has indeed been to this place." Hearing this, Qi Zhao nodded with relief and said, "Yes, he has the potential to become an investigator."

Xiyou continued to check the nearby lawn, and found a total of dozens of fresh traces. Long and thin friction traces snaked upwards, all pointing to a factory building to the right of the center of the factory.

Viewed from a distance, most of the red paint on the outside of the factory building has been worn away, and the remaining dilapidated remains are around the walls. The four sides of the factory building are covered with cement, with only a large chimney on top, and the iron locks have been oxidized and welded.

Dead door and a small window on the side.

Xiyou and Qi Zhao obviously can't go up the tallest chimney, and the door is impassable. If they want to go in, they can only go through this window. This should be a light-transmitting window for lighting, or for ventilation, which is higher than the ground

The small and narrow window of about three meters only allows smaller people to pass through.

Qi Zhao and Xiyou looked at each other. Through Qi Zhao's deep eyes, Xiyou knew that she had to complete this hard task. Looking at the dark building inside, her heart couldn't help but beat in panic.

The glass was very dirty inside and out. Even if the outside was wiped clean, the inside could not be seen clearly. It was all gray and there was no light at all. Xiyou lay on the glass and listened to the movement inside for a while. It was unusually quiet. There should be no one there.

But all the new traces on the ground pointed to this factory, and she really didn't want to go in if she could.

Xiyou stared at the window in a daze, silently rolling up her sleeves, but made no next move. Qi Zhao looked at her and asked, "What? Aren't you going in?"

"Huh - of course I have to go in, but I have to be mentally prepared." Xiyou took a big breath to calm down her mood and breathing, "But how do I open the window?" Xiyou lowered her head and looked at the man who was a lot shorter than her.

They all called together and knocked on the glass a few centimeters thick in front of them.

"Can't you pry it open?" Qi Zhao raised his head. Fortunately, the girl was wearing pants. Otherwise, at this height, the bottom of her skirt would be clearly visible. Sometimes he was quite puzzled by his female alien companions, wondering how they wore skirts and

High heels can easily run on the edge of life and death.

Xiyou shook her head, looked at the rusty window eaves, and said: "It's already rusty, and there will be a sound when you pry it open. If there is really something inside, then it won't alarm the snake." Just as Xiyou thought silently.

When trying to do this, an object thrown from the ground suddenly flew out from one side. Xiyou used the water element to catch it. When she looked closely, she saw that it was an object that looked like a pen.

"This is?"

"You press that button, and then draw a circle along the window." Xiyou did as he was told, pressing the button at the end of the 'pen', and a green laser instantly emitted, drawing a circle along the window, and the glass was drawn along the route.

Opening it, Xiyou took off the round glass and placed it beside her, then looked at the pen in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is too convenient.

"Hey." Hearing the call from below, Xiyou looked over. Qi Zhao made a sign to get in, and then continued: "The light pen in your hand can be used as a flashlight by injecting some mental power. Next, rely on

is you."

Xiyou stared at the light pen for a moment, and the front part of the pen radiated a wide range of light, just like a strong flashlight. Everything around her became clearly visible, but it was only in one direction, and the rest was still dark.

Xiyou breathed out, with a trembling final sound. People are inevitably afraid of the darkness in position 2, and Xiyou was not the same. Her heart beat faster than usual, and she secretly wrapped herself with water elements, although it was nothing.

It was useful, but it also brought her some inner comfort.

Suddenly laughter came from the ground behind him. Qi Zhao lit another cigarette and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'll be waiting for you here. If anything happens, I will save you. Don't worry."

Xiyou took a deep breath and jumped into the darkness. When she stood still, she took pictures with the light pen in her hand. She was now in a very large square room, but there were only countless bunk beds in it.

and desk cabinets, and nothing else.

Xiyou covered her mouth and nose. The surrounding air produced a lot of dust due to her jumping, which made her nose feel very itchy. Xiyou endured the discomfort and gradually moved forward.

Walking to a corner of a bed, Xiyou leaned over and touched the ground. There was no accumulation of dust here. The ground was very smooth. If you look carefully, you can see some traces of dust being pushed away. Here and on the grass outside

The traces are very similar. It seems that she has come to the right place. This is where those fresh traces gather.

Finally, with the help of the metal shelf placed under the window, Xiyou put her left hand on the table, kicked her body upwards, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and stepped firmly on the window eaves, just as she was leaving.

In an instant, her light pen illuminated a corner that she had never cared about.

An obvious person's handprint fell in the middle of the dusty ground. It was not the place she touched. The handprint was very clear and there was no dust on it. It was not caused by the people who lived before. There was someone in this place!

The poisonous snakes that kept flying interrupted Xiyou's thoughts. Xiyou jumped back and raised her right hand in the air. The water element continued to condense into a wall of water, sealing the window she had just escaped from. Countless poisonous snakes hit the wall of water.

, unable to move or jump out of the window, the commotion subsided slightly.

Seeing Xiyou flying out of the window, Qi Zhao was surprised at first, but soon recovered. He put out the cigarette in his hand, looked at Xiyou who was on the ground and was about to get up, and asked about the situation inside.

"It's full of snakes."

Qi Zhao frowned slightly, understanding in his heart.

Xiyou continued: "There is someone else, there must be someone, I saw the fingerprints."
