I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 22 A family’s funeral ()

"what----"

The screams were so penetrating that they entered the room, causing the lights above to flash.

Xiaobai held Xia Qimiao's wrist tightly. Although the temperature he felt was similar to her own, it gave her infinite warmth.

"Maybe something happened to someone," she swallowed, "We're not going out...are we?"

"stay home."

There were no tenants to choose from outside, so Xia Qimiao didn't want to join in the fun.

Judging from Xiaobai's dream just now, this family is all victims.

The role played by the Zhang family's mother-in-law is not yet clear, but she should be quite prestigious. Since she has rejected her proposal, it is unlikely that the others will agree.

As for the perpetrator, she was completely out of the consideration of her tenants, and she was not a fool who would put a time bomb next to her.

Hearing this, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand.

She didn't notice that she had exerted too much strength just now, and her sister's wrist was red from her pinching.

Xia Qimiao didn't care much about it. She put down her sleeves to block it and ignored it.

"Sister, please go to sleep. I will keep vigil next time. I will not let anything go." Xiaobai stood up and promised confidently.

Xia Qimiao didn't respond. She took out an aperture, threw it up and expanded it to the size of the bed.

[Props-A-level light prison]

Description: The maximum radius is one meter. The size can be adjusted according to the user's wishes. The maximum maintenance time is 8 hours. Each copy can be used once. A small area is automatically formed within the light range, which can automatically resist all attacks, pollution, and erosion from the King of Creatures and below. It cannot be moved after use. No entry is allowed without permission from the prop owner.

Evaluation: I can get out from the inside, but I can’t get in from the outside. (from an unknown wing)

"Let's have a good rest together." Xia Qimiao didn't use it before because she didn't have enough information and thought she would have to spend two days here. But now that there is new progress, the decisive battle should be possible tomorrow.

The light was warm and made Xiaobai feel at ease.

It's just that she just woke up and couldn't fall asleep yet. She hesitated for a while and asked: "Sister, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Oh, oh," she turned over and faced this way, "Sister, can I ask you a question?"

"ask."

"Why did you choose to help me?" She finally asked what she wanted to know most. The most useful thing in her body was her talent, and she reached out to her without knowing it.

She is obviously strong enough to act alone, but she still brings along her scumbag.

There was no reply for a long time, and when she thought the other party had fallen asleep, she heard the answer.

"You remind me of my brother."

When Xiaobai heard this, she subconsciously touched her long hair. She wanted to ask herself if she looked like a boy, but she quickly realized that this was a stupid question and shut her mouth before she said it.

"About your age, a bit stupid, weak, and a crybaby."

Why does it feel like I'm scolding her? I'm not sure. Let me listen again.

"Sometimes you are surprisingly insightful, brave and tenacious."

This feels like a boast.

"I hope that when someone meets him, they can give him a chance to live."

Hearing this, Xiaobai sincerely wished: "Sister, you two will definitely live happily for a long time."

Then she heard a laugh.

"There's nothing we can do about it, he's already dead."

"Go to sleep, Xiaobai, see you tomorrow."

Xia Qimiao also had a dreamless night in the copy. Fortunately, her talent is not what Xiaobai dreams of, otherwise it would be useless.

There were still four hours left in the aperture, and she had no intention of putting it away. It was a prop that could only be used once per copy, so she had to maximize its value.

She just left it there, and if she encountered a tricky monster, she would lure it here so that she could stand inside and fight it.

But it shouldn't be too difficult. There is only one person on the opposite side, and on her side, there are the Zhang family and so many players, so they won't be able to beat them in a group fight.

If you can't beat it, it's not an E-level copy, and it's recommended to change it to S-level.

She went out and found a row of footprints on the incense ashes in front of Xiaoyang's door. Looking at the direction, she walked from the house to the outside.

He was out last night, was that scream his?

act recklessly.

Xia Qimiao took a look and saw that the hands of the clock on the wall had already pointed to eight, but she was the only one getting up.

She turned on her toes and walked towards Xiao Yang's room, only to find that the middle-aged man was not there either, and it was empty.

She saw fragments of the calendar in the trash can, with burn marks on the edges.

Sure enough, there is a time reminder in the copy.

She looked around the room. There were no signs of violent fighting, only the bed was slightly messy.

She circled around and turned to dial 102.

An earth-shattering howl broke the tranquility of the corridor. The door of 102 was opened, and a stumbling figure ran out. It was the middle-aged man, with panic written on his face.

Seeing someone standing outside the door, he became even more frightened, and ran past her and rushed into 101.

Xia Qimiao had very good eyesight and saw that what he was holding was a piece of wood. He wondered if it was the same piece of wood as in Xiaobai's dream.

"Neither is he?" She asked casually when she saw Zhang's mother-in-law coming out slowly.

"No."

"In what order did you check people?"

Zhang's mother-in-law glanced at her, her eyes so blurry that she couldn't distinguish between right and wrong: "Malicious."

Xia Qimiao was taller than her and could easily look over her head. There was one more person in the room, no, to be precise, there was one more corpse.

Xiao Yang curled up next to the coffin in a weird posture. It was a posture that normal people could not assume unless the bones were broken.

It doesn't matter whether she has no empathy or she is cold and ruthless. When Xia Qimiao saw his body, she didn't feel any pity, nor was she sad like a rabbit dying or a fox dying. She just felt that he deserved it.

She didn't want to waste her eyes anymore, so she looked at Zhang's mother-in-law instead and smiled: "Don't you think the room is too small now? It's a bit crowded to put three coffins."

"I have a new house for rent here, in Happy Home. This is a well-known real estate in the world. It has a beautiful environment, harmonious neighbors, and happy residents. It is the best choice for renting."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a long sigh, which sounded like the sound of wind rubbing against leaves.

"I already have a place to go," Zhang's mother-in-law still refused, but she relaxed, "But when the matter is over, you may be able to ask her."

Just who? Xia Qimiao originally wanted to recruit the whole family and then charge per person, but it seemed that the plan was going to come to nothing.

But she was not discouraged and still smiled: "Okay, in order to celebrate the contract we are about to sign, I can point it out to you."

"...It's covered in human skin, so it can't be discovered that easily."

Xia Qimiao heard that this was a tactful questioning of her, so she made a gesture of invitation.

"It's just a foreskin, not a real person. There are flaws everywhere."
