Chapter 165 She has a relationship with the Azure Dragon God
Long Xiaoxiao ran all the way to the stairwell and followed the system's guidance up the stairs. Just as she was about to reach the floor where Tang De and Tang Xuan were, she suddenly heard another set of footsteps.
The sound of footsteps almost overlapped with her own and was getting closer and closer. Long Xiaoxiao was startled and subconsciously stopped what she was doing and listened carefully. She found that the footsteps were becoming more and more urgent and were getting closer and closer to her.
Someone is nearby!
Long Xiaoxiao suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction from which the footsteps came: there was nothing there.
Strange, the sound was clearly right next to me just now...
Long Xiaoxiao frowned, turned around and ran uphill again, but the footsteps that had just disappeared rang out again, still chasing closely behind her, as if they were only a few meters away from Long Xiaoxiao, but they did not appear for a long time.
Now Long Xiaoxiao was certain that someone was spying on her. She turned around abruptly, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Who is it? Don't hide! Come out now!"
The tone wasn't particularly intimidating, but it echoed in the empty stairwell, adding a touch of tension to the atmosphere.
The feeling of being watched grew stronger. Long Xiaoxiao frowned, pondering what to do next, when she heard a soft "pfft" sound the next second.
boom.
It was as if something was violently thrown away and then crashed into something else. The sound came from behind her, and Long Xiaoxiao quickly turned her head to look behind her.
It was a black blob, as if it had been burned, curled up in agony, and was ejected onto the wall behind Long Xiaoxiao. The white wall paint made the black blob stand out even more.
Long Xiaoxiao quickly moved closer, and just as she was about to look down for a closer look, a familiar voice broke the silence.
"Long Xiaoxiao?"
It's Tang Xuan.
Long Xiaoxiao suddenly turned her head and saw Tang De and Tang Xuan standing in the stairwell, both staring at her with meaningful expressions.
Long Xiaoxiao paused, then remained silent.
The system first emitted a sharp, loud bang, then quickly instructed Long Xiaoxiao, "Just say you're here for tourism, Xiaoxiao, quick!"
Long Xiaoxiao then slowly spoke, her tone and expression both calm and serious: "What a coincidence, sister, we meet again. Are you here for tourism too?"
With a soft and cute tone, Long Xiaoxiao even ran to Tang Xuan's side in a flash, craning her neck to look at Tang Xuan, her big eyes cute and clear.
In the past, Long Xiaoxiao would act cute and charming towards Yuan Wang and the others in this way.
Although she had only met Tang Xuan once in human form, the two had interacted before, so it wasn't surprising that Long Xiaoxiao remembered Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan looked down at Long Xiaoxiao, nodded, her expression largely unchanged, but then glanced at the black blob on the wall and asked casually, "What are those black things on the wall?"
Tang Xuan is not good at communicating with children. Although she is now suspicious of Long Xiaoxiao's identity as a child, she still tries her best to speak to her in a soft voice, even though Long Xiaoxiao does not understand her good intentions.
Long Xiaoxiao scratched the back of her head, glanced around for a few seconds, and then said decisively, "I don't know, it was like this when I came up, I didn't do it."
Tang Xuan nodded.
Tang De, who was standing to the side, quickly took the opportunity to bend down with a smile and raise his chin at Long Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, what a coincidence! Do you remember me? I had dinner with your Uncle Wu Zhang before."
Long Xiaoxiao certainly remembered, but she still pretended to be confused and said, "Really? I don't quite remember. I've eaten with a lot of people."
The child's innocent answer was impeccable, and Tang De was about to continue arguing with Long Xiaoxiao when Tang Xuan pulled him to the black object and began to examine it carefully with a serious expression.
It was exactly the same as the thing that had been thrown at their doorstep earlier, and it seemed to still be alive, but the lump in front of them was clearly dying, curled up and motionless.
Tang Xuan took out a storage bag specifically for collecting evidence, put the black substance into the bag little by little, sealed it, and turned around thinking of finding Long Xiaoxiao to ask her a few more questions, but found that she had already disappeared.
Long Xiaoxiao had already run away as soon as they turned their attention to the black substance, afraid that they would notice something was wrong.
The system said with annoyance, "I really shouldn't have taken human form."
After saying that, the system told Long Xiaoxiao everything that had just happened in the stairwell. The black substance appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a violent energy slam before it appeared, and immediately pounced on Long Xiaoxiao after it appeared.
Fortunately, the system had foreseen this and activated the talisman when Long Xiaoxiao transformed into human form. Under the protection of the talisman, the melanoma was burned and rebounded before it could pounce on Long Xiaoxiao, and finally became the appearance that Tang Xuan and the others saw.
As Long Xiaoxiao listened to the system's explanation, she felt she was getting closer to the truth, so she quickly asked, "Uncle, is this the key item for the array?"
The system was stunned by the question and hesitated for a long time before slowly denying it: "It doesn't seem like it. If that were the case, the array core here should have already loosened, but it doesn't seem to have changed much."
Seeing that the system had rejected her, Long Xiaoxiao immediately lowered her head and gave a dejected "oh," as if her enthusiasm had been greatly diminished.
The system quickly offered some words of comfort: "It's alright, at least so far things are progressing smoothly, and your humanoid identity hasn't been discovered yet."
Long Xiaoxiao was always an optimist. After listening to the system's comforting words, she felt that they made a lot of sense and became content again.
Inside the hotel, after cleaning up the black substance, Tang De and Tang Xuan returned to their room, not forgetting to hand the storage bag to other department staff for analysis.
As soon as he entered the room, Tang De's listless demeanor vanished, replaced by surprise and excitement as he exclaimed, "That little girl is here too..."
He trailed off towards the end.
Tang Xuan knew her grandfather's personality very well. Seeing that he didn't continue, she knew that this matter was probably very controversial, so she simply spoke first, her tone firm: "She has a relationship with the Azure Dragon God."
"Huh?" Tang De was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting that Tang Xuan would say his long-held suspicion so firmly.
Tang Xuan's tone remained calm, and the topic lightly shifted from Long Xiaoxiao back to the Azure Dragon God: "The Azure Dragon God wants us to find the energy gathering point to destroy. We only know about Linshui so far. Let's do another divination."
Tang De was still in a daze when his granddaughter pulled him back to the divination table.
