my practice game

Chapter 96 Xiao Ke
The strength in the game is steadily improving, but in reality Lin Ze is living a peaceful life. Apart from reading books and surfing the Internet every day, he is helping his grandfather with housework.

Time gradually passed in calm, and soon came the New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Lin Ze was sent out by his grandfather to purchase the ingredients to be used tonight.

When passing through the atrium downstairs, he accidentally saw the little girl named Xiao Ke sitting alone on the bench last time, staring blankly at a few children of the same age playing ball not far away.

Under the soft sunlight, the girl's already slightly pale face became more transparent, which made people feel pity.

Lin Ze paused slightly, then turned and walked towards Xiao Ke, and sat down on the bench.

Xiao Ke was startled, and instinctively shrank back, until he saw Lin Ze, and then relaxed slightly.

"Why are you here alone?"

"Dad, Dad has gone to work." Xiao Ke replied weakly.

Then Lin Ze heard a loud fasting sound.

"Don't you want to eat biscuits?" Lin Ze glanced at the animal biscuits tightly clenched in Xiao Ke's right hand, and asked softly.

Xiao Ke hesitated for a while, then slowly shook her head: "This is Duoduo's dinner."

"Who is Dodo?"

".dog."

Lin Ze nodded and patted her on the head: "Wait for me here."

After that, he got up and left, went to a convenience store not far away to buy some snacks such as bread, biscuits and candies, put them in bags, then returned to the bench, and gently put the things in Xiao Ke's hands.

"Happy New Year!"

Xiao Ke was a little dazed, staring at Lin Ze in a daze, before holding the bag tightly after a while.

Seeing this, Lin Ze smiled slightly and said, "Go home and go eat with Duoduo."

"En." Xiao Ke nodded, looked up at Lin Ze again, and said in a low voice, "Thank you brother."

Seeing Xiao Ke running into the gate on the first floor with small steps, Lin Ze sighed softly, got up and left.

There is a living supermarket a hundred meters away from the community, with a complete range of ingredients. Because of the Chinese New Year, there is a dense crowd of people inside. It took Lin Ze a lot of time to buy all the things his grandfather wanted. After arriving at the long queue in front of the cashier At the end, the long wait in line began.

Without wasting time, he waited and browsed the forum and Weibo online, trying to find out if there were any abnormal phenomena suspected of being haunted by monsters.

It's a pity that Lin Ze's hometown is only a third-tier city, the weather is calm, and the things that can be found on the Internet are basically trivial things. However, half a month ago, a murder case occurred in a local high school. A teacher who was on duty at night was found dead in the On the playground, the murderer has not yet been found. This incident has caused an uproar in the local area, and many people are still discussing it online.

"Is it a simple homicide, or was it done by a monster?" Lin Ze pondered deeply.

While he was thinking about it, a pleasantly surprised voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Lin Ze!"

Lin Ze looked up and followed the sound, and saw Ren Wan looking at him with surprise on his face.

"What a coincidence!" Glancing over the shopping bag in Lin Ze's hand, Ren Wan happily asked, "You live near here too?"

"It's in the neighborhood in front." Lin Ze was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Ren Wan again so soon. The world is really small.

"That's really a coincidence, and I live in Building 7 too!" Ren Wan smiled happily, paused, then turned her head and whispered something to her friend, who looked at him with slightly ambiguous eyes. She glanced at the two of them, then walked away with a smile, while Ren Wan stood where she was, chatting with Lin Ze.

"I didn't expect that we lived in the same community!" Ren Wan said with a smile, her heart jumped with joy, it was a fateful encounter.

"Did you move here recently?" Lin Ze asked. He has lived in the community since he was 8 years old. Basically, everyone in the community is familiar with him, but he has never seen Ren Wan.

Ren Wan smiled and said, "Yes, our family just moved to this community at the beginning of the year."

While the two were chatting, Lin Ze quickly settled the bill and left the Life Supermarket with his bag.

Ren Wan abandoned her friend very shamelessly, and returned to the community with Lin Ze.

When passing by the smart express cabinet in the community, Ren Wan stopped to pick up a courier. The courier box was not small and obviously heavy, and it was very difficult for Ren Wan to hold it with both hands.

"Let me do it." Lin Ze took the cardboard box with one hand and held it in his arm.

"You are so strong." Ren Wan glanced at Lin Ze's arm in surprise, only to find that the muscle contour on it was very obvious, "Do you often exercise?"

"I run a lot." Lin Ze responded casually, and walked into Building 7, "Which floor do you live on?"

"305!"

The two chatted and took the elevator to the third floor. As soon as they walked out of the elevator door, Lin Ze felt the strange atmosphere in the air.

It is the unique breath of monsters!

His complexion remained unchanged, and his footsteps returned to normal after a slight pause. He followed Ren Wan with his things and walked towards 305.

The monster breath pervading the corridor was very weak, but when passing by the stairs, Lin Ze obviously felt that the breath became much stronger all of a sudden, and escaped from the stairs leading to the upper floor.

305 happened to be located near the stairs, Ren Wan took out the key and opened the door, then turned her head and smiled at Lin Zeyan: "It's all right here, I can do the rest by myself, thank you today!"

"You're welcome." Lin Ze shook his head, pretending to be casual, "I didn't expect you to live here. There are people like that upstairs. You must be very troubled on weekdays, right?"

He remembered that his grandfather said that Room 405 upstairs was exactly Xiaoke's home.

"Yeah! There's a lot of noise up here!" Ren Wan said angrily, "That man is a scumbag. He drinks outside and doesn't take good care of his daughter. He often beats her on weekdays. Xiao Ke is such a cute child. It's really inhumane to be able to do it!"

"The police should have restrained themselves after they came to mediate, right?"

"It's a bit restrained, but in the past few days at 12 o'clock in the evening, there was a muffled sound from above, which lasted for about ten minutes before stopping. I suspected that the man was hitting Xiao Ke again, but when I saw Xiao Ke during the day When I was there, there were no new scars on her body, and she didn't answer when I asked her what happened, it was really confusing." Ren Wan said doubtfully.

"That's it." Lin Ze nodded thoughtfully, then raised his head and smiled, "Okay, you go in, I have to take things to grandpa, so I'll go back first."

Ren Wan took the box and said with a smile, "Okay, let's make another appointment when we have time!"

"it is good."

After bidding farewell to Ren Wan, Lin Ze walked straight to the elevator, until he heard the loud sound of closing the door behind him, then turned around and stepped on the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

Going up the stairs, the smell of monsters in the air became more and more intense, and finally reached its peak in front of the gate of 405.

"A monster?"

Lin Ze murmured softly. He was still thinking about how to find the monsters just now, but he found out in a blink of an eye. Was it because he was lucky, or were there more and more monsters in reality?

And I didn't expect the monster to be in Xiaoke's house.

"Could it be related to Xiao Ke's domestic violence?"

While meditating, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening from the house next to him, so he stopped staying. He took a deep look at the door of room 405, then turned around and quickly left the fourth floor.

When he returned to the atrium, Lin Ze found that there was no one on the bench, and Xiao Ke didn't know whether he had gone home or ran to other places.

Standing in place thinking for a few seconds, Lin Ze walked to the bench, squatted down and checked it carefully, but found no residual monster breath, and his face could not help showing a contemplative look.

　Now the starting point seems to be unable to see the comments and this chapter. It is estimated that it will be restored after the festival. The next seven days will be a stand-alone machine. Thinking about it makes me feel stuck
