Liu Zhida had naturally heard the sound of the elevator running before, but he didn't expect that the elevator happened to stop on the floor where he was now. The moment the elevator opened, Liu Zhida was startled, and then reached out to open the door next to him.

But what I didn't expect was that the people in this room seemed to have a good habit of locking the door when going out. After pushing it twice, the door didn't move at all.

Seeing that someone was about to come out of the elevator, Liu Zhida quickly looked around, and was finally forced to jump helplessly to the top of the corridor. He spread his legs to catch his body, and gently held his body with his two hands.

He held on to the light at the top of the corridor.

At the same time as he jumped to the top of the corridor, two young men wearing special office uniforms came out of the elevator. They were talking and laughing as they walked to the door that Liu Zhida had not opened before, took out the key, opened the door and left.

Entering, neither of them noticed a person lying above them.

When all the lights in the corridor went out, Liu Zhida jumped down from the top of the corridor. After rubbing his swollen calves, Liu Zhida quietly came to the door and put his ear to the door to listen to the sounds inside.

"Hey, tell me, what is our minister going to do? A large number of people went out yesterday and haven't come back yet, and today he asked us to transport things for him. Could it be that he embezzled the money from the headquarters?" One of the men asked doubtfully.

.

"Please keep your voice down, are you afraid that others won't hear you if you speak so loudly? Yesterday, I knew a little bit about our minister asking people to go out. I heard that there are some treasures hidden in the sea, and the minister asked people to come over just for the treasure.

But, after these people went out, they encountered a ghost ship on the sea, and none of them came back." Before another man said this, he went to the door to listen to see if there was anyone outside. After confirming that there was no one outside, he

Talked to that person.

"Ghost ship? Isn't that a legend? How could it be true?" the man said disdainfully, obviously thinking that his companion was joking with him.

"Legends are based on real events. Otherwise, how would you think such a thing would exist? In addition, I also tell you that the thing we lucked out today has a living mermaid inside. I heard it when we moved it before.

"The voice is gone." The other person lowered his voice and said to that person. Unfortunately, no matter how low your voice is, Liu Zhida can still hear it clearly.

Although he could hear clearly, his mind was a little confused now. Ghost ships, mermaids, and treasures under the sea were all flooding into his mind, and he would not be able to process them for a while.

"Mermaid? What does the minister do with that?" the man asked.

"It is recorded in the book that this mermaid is also called a shark, and the tears of this shark are pearls. There is also a rumor that eating the meat of this shark can make you immortal. I guess the minister

I want to sit in his seat for a long time." As soon as this man finished speaking, his companion covered his mouth.

"Be careful, what you said today is known to God and earth, you know it, and I know it. Otherwise, no third party should know about it, otherwise our lives will be in danger." Listening to the tone of the man, it was obvious that he was a little panicked.

"Don't worry, they are all going out to look for that ghost ship right now. It's just you and me in this special office." The man laughed and said, but he didn't know that there was another observer outside the door.

It was a bit interesting. Liu Zhida smiled slightly, left the seventh floor and walked up the stairs to the eighth floor.

There was no door at all on the eighth floor. It was just a wall. Liu Zhida looked at the wall and smacked his lips. It seemed that he was prepared to prevent thieves like him from coming in for a day trip.

Knocking on the wall, he found that the wall was not very thick. However, for safety reasons, Liu Zhida gave up the investigation of the eighth floor and turned around to go back.

Two minutes later, Liu Zhida returned to the fifth floor. He reached out and was about to open the stairwell door when a faint sound came into his ears. It seemed to be the sound of some kind of engine. It seemed that there was someone in the hotel.

A large-scale machine.

Driven by curiosity, Liu Zhida let go of his hand and walked downstairs slowly, following the sound to the first floor.

A few minutes later, Liu Zhida came to the first floor. The stairwell on the first floor was one or two times larger than the stairwells on the floors above. Even the door was much larger. Liu Zhida looked out from the window and saw only the outside.

There is a spacious corridor that leads directly to a door in the distance. The door is now open, and outside is the scene behind the hotel.

Because the lights in the corridor were always on and there were three or four cameras on both sides, Liu Zhida did not have the courage to find out. Instead, he hid under the window and closed his eyes to look for the sound of the engine.

Closing his eyes and amplifying his hearing, the roaring sound of the engine penetrated his ears. This sound came from below, which meant that there was another layer underground.

Liu Zhida opened his eyes and groped around in the darkness. Except for the big iron door, there were only stairs around the stairwell. Liu Zhida searched for a long time and couldn't find any secret door.

Smacking his lips, Liu Zhida put his ear against the big white wall in front of him and listened. The sound of the engine was very close at hand, only a wall away from him, but he couldn't find where the entrance was.

After thinking for a while, Liu Zhida turned around and went up the stairs.

He reached the fifth floor as quickly as possible, then opened the door and walked quietly to the door of his room, opened the door and walked in.

After lying on the door and listening to the noise outside for a while, Liu Zhida breathed a sigh of relief when no one was there.

He came to the window, opened the window and the screen and looked down. Here was just the back of the hotel. There was a small alley with several garbage trucks parked inside. There were a pair of black bags on them, which should be

Daily garbage from hotel residents.

Liu Zhida was relieved that there was something to buffer him. He opened all the windows, got out of the window and jumped out. In just a few seconds of falling, his body completed the inversion and turned from the original face downwards.

It turned into a back-down position, and finally the whole person fell face-up onto the pile of rubbish.

He turned over and got out of the garbage truck. The pungent smell made Liu Zhida cough violently. In order to prevent others from hearing him, he covered his mouth and ran quickly outside the alley. After looking around, he determined the direction and ran towards the hospital.

passed.

Liu Zhida was a little anxious, because he wanted to quickly find the source of the engine noise in the hotel, so the speed of his feet was getting faster and faster. If anyone saw him at this time, they would find that his feet were already off the ground.

If he were given a pair of airplane wings, he would probably be able to take off from Wuhu.

A few minutes later, Liu Zhida arrived in front of the hospital. He scratched his head and walked into the hospital door.

Liu Zhida didn't dare to take the elevator. His current appearance made people think too much, so he simply went upstairs from the stairs.

Arriving at the door of the ward, Liu Zhida pushed the door open and entered.

At this time, Li Minghao was meditating to consolidate his cultivation. Suddenly something broke into his consciousness and slowly approached him. This person also had the smell of a garbage dump.

Li Minghao was consolidating his cultivation with his eyes closed. He couldn't open his eyes immediately now, so he had to wake up Tang Dao with a thought.

I saw a flash of red light next to Li Minghao's bed, and then Tang Dao, glowing with red light, floated in front of Liu Zhida and placed it on his neck.

Liu Zhida was shocked and quickly raised his hands: "Well, Minghao, one of my own, I have something to do with you."

At this moment, Li Minghao just put his mind away and opened his eyes. However, the first words he said when he opened his eyes were: "Liu Zhida, why did you go to the garbage dump instead of waiting in the hospital?"

Liu Zhida was speechless for a moment: "You put your knife back first, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Li Minghao made a move with his hand, and Tang Dao flew back to his hand: "Just sit down, you smell so bad, I'm afraid you'll get sick if you sleep for a while."

"...Li Minghao, you uncle, forget it and sit down if you don't want to. Let me tell you what I have seen and heard in the branch during this period of time." Liu Zhida sighed and stood up.

He told Li Minghao everything he saw and heard in the branch.

After listening to Liu Zhida's story, Li Minghao smacked his lips: "Now it seems that there is something wrong with this branch director Xiao Zhanqiang. I originally thought he was the same as the previous person in charge of the Northwest Region, but now it seems that the fat man is weak.

.”

"Then what should we do now, find the source of the engine noise or confront him directly?"

Li Minghao raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhida: "Are you stupid? We are on someone else's territory now. Even if you confront him directly, it will be of no use, and you may cause unnecessary trouble to yourself. Collect evidence first.

Well, when we return to the headquarters, just hand it over to Xiong Xiaoguang and let him handle it."

After speaking, Li Minghao paused: "Oh no, you came to me to open the so-called secret door."

Liu Zhida chuckled: "That's right, I can't open it, but you should be able to."

"Why did you open the secret door? Do you think there is anything important in there? Even if there is anything, it should have been taken away. After all, the people from the third department will take over the branch's laboratory tomorrow."

"It's an emergency and they probably won't have time to deal with the aftermath. We should still be able to find something."

"Okay, then I'll sacrifice my rest time to run with you." Li Minghao sighed softly and got out of bed, changing into black clothes.

"Hey, why are you wearing half sleeves instead of your windbreaker?" Liu Zhida looked very surprised when he saw that Li Minghao had changed his clothes for the rare occasion.

Li Minghao rolled his eyes: "It's not like you don't know that my windbreaker was lost in the battle, so I can only wear this half-sleeved one. I thought I wouldn't use it, but I didn't expect it to actually come in handy.

Let's go and come back quickly."

When the two left, they didn't take the stairs, but flew out of the window.

Flying is different from running. Li Minghao increased his speed, and the two of them arrived at the hotel in the blink of an eye and got into the house through the window of Liu Zhida's room.

After closing the window, Liu Zhida came to the door, leaned against the door and listened to the sound for a while. After making sure that no one was outside, he slowly opened the door and invited Li Minghao to come to the corridor with him.

Without further ado, the two of them quietly came to the first floor. Liu Zhida pointed to the big white wall on the left: "That's right here. You can clearly hear the sound of the engine from behind, but it just can't be turned on."

Li Minghao stretched out his hand and touched the big white wall: "No wonder you can't open it. This is a defensive circle. When it is not attacked or no one opens it, it simulates the state of a wall. It's okay if I have the talisman.

Do it a little bit...let me try it."

He sighed, closed his eyes, and channeled his energy into the big white wall.

Sure enough, under Liu Zhida's gaze, the big white wall gradually disappeared and was replaced by a golden magic circle. What's interesting is that in the magic circle, a bunch of imperial characters were slowly rotating in a circle, and in the middle

The thing was covered by Li Minghao's big hand and only a small part could be seen, which seemed to be one word.

Next, Liu Zhida saw a small white thin line in the magic circle, which should be Li Minghao's true energy. He saw that the small white thin line came into the magic circle and touched everywhere.

After touching it, it got familiar with the situation here, and then it seemed to have selected the target and rushed straight towards the rotating imperial character.

It seems that this journey is not far, but Li Minghao consumes a lot of energy, but after identifying the breakthrough point, he can greatly reduce the energy consumption.

The white thin line came to the bottom of the imperial characters and waited for a while, then seized the opportunity to pass through one of the imperial characters, and then accelerated to pass through all the imperial characters in the outer circle.

Then, Li Minghao increased the output power of his true energy, and the white thin line expanded instantly, and the imperial characters also shattered in an instant, followed by a crisp sound, and the entire magic circle responded.

It broke and turned into golden particles falling to the ground.

After the magic circle disappeared, a long staircase hidden behind was revealed. At the end of the staircase, a rumbling sound was heard.

Li Minghao opened his eyes and fell forward. Liu Zhida quickly caught him with his quick hands and eyes: "Why is it so difficult to break the magic circle? If I had known, I wouldn't have come to you."

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Minghao waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just the first time I use my true energy to break the formation. The more times I use it, I'll become more proficient, and I won't be in this situation today."

, hurry in, they will soon find something wrong here."

"Yeah." Liu Zhida felt that he couldn't reach it even if he held him for a long time, so he simply carried Li Minghao on his back, performed Qinggong, and quickly went down the stairs.

At the end of the stairs is a large iron door with no keyhole and only a card slot.

Now Liu Zhida was in trouble. Although he could open this kind of thing, he needed some big tools and a lot of time. In this situation, it was impossible to open this door.

Li Minghao glanced at the door and said to him: "If you don't let me try, we will be discovered anyway, so there is no harm in giving this door a knife."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Liu Zhida knelt down and put Li Minghao down, and then hid far away, for fear that something would hit him again later.
Chapter completed!
