Chapter 75 Puppy
The puppy waddled over to Brother Xiaosheng.
Brother Xiaosheng squatted down and reached out to stroke the puppy's soft fur.
Only one left, he thought.
A few days ago, he accidentally found three puppies trapped in a wall beam. After some confusion and worry, Xiaosheng learned from his junior Yan Zhen that the puppies were not trapped, but temporarily hiding in the beam, waiting for his daily feeding.
Xiaosheng felt relieved and came to feed the puppies every day. The puppies were very smart and well-behaved, and usually hid well. As long as he approached their hiding place, the puppies would run out happily.
These three puppies are not rare breeds, but standard mutts. In fact, Xiaosheng couldn't tell what kind of dogs they were. They have light brown fur and big black eyes. They have a baby voice and are quite cute.
If possible, Xiaosheng really wanted to take all three puppies home, but his mother and sister were allergic to cat and dog hair, so he had no conditions to raise pets. So after making sure the puppies were safe, he went to the local forum and post bar to post messages asking for adoption.
Just one day after posting the post, someone sent a private message saying they wanted to adopt the dog. After Xiaosheng mentioned some common adoption requirements, such as not abandoning the dog and taking the dog to see a doctor, the other party agreed to all of them. Then they agreed on a time and place to meet and hand over the dog.
When Xiaosheng saw the address, he found it was a convenience store next to No. 4 Middle School. He arrived at the location early with his dog in his arms as agreed, and ran into Teacher Li.
Teacher Li was the junior math teacher at No. 4 Middle School, and the teacher of his juniors Liu Xingquan and Yan Zhen. He was a strict and old-fashioned person, and the students were very afraid of him. Xiao Sheng's junior math teacher was also Mr. Li, and he was often scolded by Teacher Li. Now seeing his former strict teacher, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly said hello to the teacher in a proper manner.
Teacher Li had been staring at the dog in his arms since he entered the convenience store. He said, "This dog..."
"Oh, Mr. Li, this is for the adoptive parents."
Teacher Li did not move his eyes away, staring at the puppy in his arms.
Xiao Sheng felt a little scared by his gaze. After the awkward silence lasted for dozens of seconds, he suddenly thought of a possibility and asked tentatively, "Emperor Mufasa?"
The atmosphere became somewhat suffocating.
Teacher Li's gaze could almost pierce him to death, and then he stretched out his hand: "Yes."
The first puppy was taken away by the majestic "Emperor Mufasa".
The second puppy was adopted by a handsome young man. The stranger's ID was "Burning 2233". He circled the cutest dog in the dog photos taken by Xiaosheng. After a conversation, they met at the entrance of the community park. The netizen wore a baseball cap and a bright sweater. He was tall and had girls turning their heads to look at him.
The fashionable guy didn't say much and took the puppy away directly. Xiaosheng thought his face looked familiar, and then a girl next to him excitedly told him that this was Xie Ran, a recent internet celebrity.
Brother Xiaosheng doesn’t care whether the person who takes the puppy away is a teacher or a celebrity, as long as they treat the puppy well.
Now, there is only one puppy left.
In Xiaosheng's eyes, it was natural that this puppy could not because it was the ugliest of the three puppies. When the mother dog was still alive, it could not compete with its brothers and sisters for milk, which led to it not only being ugly, but also very thin, and its hair was a bit sparse. Various comprehensive factors combined together made it even uglier.
Although the puppy is a little ugly, it is good at trying to please people by tucking its tail between its legs. Every time it sees Brother Xiaosheng, it wags its head and tail and asks for a hug. This makes Brother Xiaosheng determined to find a good home for it. However, it is too ugly, and Brother Xiaosheng has been shouting for adoption in various local forums and forums for several days, but no one is interested.
Xiaosheng's followers also failed to keep the dog at the critical moment. Some of them had pets at home and could not keep the dog, or their parents did not agree. Just when Xiaosheng thought that the ugly dog was going to be ruined in his hands, the third adopter sent him a private message.
“I want to keep this dog.”
After another routine conversation about pet adoption requirements, the third adopter, "For the Legion", agreed to everything. The difference from the previous two adopters was that the other party asked Brother Xiaosheng to deliver the dog directly to his door.
"Room 1206, Qingfeng Building." Xiaosheng read the adopter's address. He checked and found that it wouldn't take too long to walk there. So he put the puppy in a pet bag and carried a bag of dog food to Qingfeng Building.
Qingfeng Building is an apartment building facing the street.
When Xiaosheng arrived, the message room was empty and the door was wide open. Xiaosheng went straight in and walked through the aisle to the elevator.
After entering the elevator, he pressed the button for the 12th floor. Just as the door was about to close, a hand reached in and stopped the door from closing. It was a hand wearing a leather glove, which looked slender and soft. For an ordinary person, the fingers were a bit too slender. Xiaosheng couldn't help but take a few more glances. Those were hands that were born to play the piano, he thought.
The elevator door opened and a man stepped into the elevator. He wore a deerstalker hat and a long dark windbreaker. Xiao Sheng thought to himself that if he had a pipe in his hand, he would look exactly like Sherlock Holmes. He looked at his face curiously and was stunned: the man's face was wrapped in dense bandages, without a single bit of skin exposed. From Xiao Sheng's angle, he could only see a brown eye.
Is this some kind of weird detective cosplay? Xiaosheng recalled the movies, TV shows and animations he had watched, but he couldn't think of any similar characters.
The elevator door closed and the elevator began to slowly rise.
Brother Xiaosheng asked, "Excuse me, which floor are you on?"
The bandaged man didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and pressed "8".
The elevator was very quiet, with only the mechanical sound of the elevator rising.
"bite……"
The elevator door opened and the bandaged man walked out. His windbreaker brought a slight breeze. When the elevator door closed again, Xiaosheng saw a key on the ground.
Was it the Bandage Man who dropped it?
Brother Xiaosheng
The elevator corridor in front of him was empty.
Xiaosheng chased out of the elevator, walked through the hallway and came to the corridor, looking around. The corridor was empty. He walked along the corridor from beginning to end, and all the doors of the residents were closed. There was no house number. Even if he shouted loudly, no one answered.
He put the key back in his pocket and prepared to go downstairs and hand it to the reception desk later.
Returning to the elevator, he pressed the elevator button.
No lights were on.
Five minutes later, there was no sign of the elevator stopping.
Ten minutes later, there was still no sign of the elevator stopping.
Brother Xiaosheng stamped his feet impatiently. Since the broken elevator in this building wouldn't stop, he would take the stairs from the emergency passage. The bandaged man had just pressed the "8th" floor, so he just had to climb up 4 floors.
He pushed open the door of the emergency passage. The stairwell was very dark. Xiaosheng cursed the property management and started to climb up the stairs. The property management of this building was definitely not doing their job properly. There was no floor sign in the stairwell, so he could only identify it by himself.
After climbing up 4 floors, he took a breath and finally reached the 12th floor.
When he arrived at the corridor on the 12th floor, Xiaosheng was dumbfounded again.
This floor was exactly the same as the 8th floor, with all the doors of the residents' rooms closed. None of the doors had house numbers or room labels.
All exactly the same.
How do I find Room 1206?
The property management of this building can really go to hell.
Xiaosheng took out his cell phone, looked through the message this netizen left for him, called his number, and the cell phone rang with a busy tone. He looked over and saw that there was no cell phone signal.
He put his phone back into his pocket angrily and shouted the netizen's name loudly: "For the Legion! For the Legion! For the Legion! You are..."
The puppy, who had been quietly staying in the pet bag, suddenly started barking.
It barked very shrilly and sharp, with a threatening sound. Xiaosheng was stunned. His grandfather had raised a dog, and he knew this kind of sound. It would only come from a dog that thinks there is a threat to its life.
At some point, tiny black specks began to twist in the air, like an optical illusion.
The bright lights in the corridor suddenly flickered. Bang! The lights at the far end of the corridor suddenly went out, one after another! Darkness surged in like a tide.
The puppy screamed miserably.
As the lights went out one by one, what appeared was not natural darkness, but an invisible black fog, rushing towards him at the other end of the corridor.
Brother Xiaosheng turned and ran.
His heart was beating fast.
escape.
Run away immediately.
He rushed into the emergency passage and rushed down. He didn't dare to look back. In front of him were rows of stairs going down. He ran down, ran down!
…
He didn't know how long he ran.
Now he was out of breath and his legs were weak from running.
This is not right, he thought.
He felt like he had already run up at least 15 flights of stairs, but he still couldn't see the sign at the bottom of the building. All he could see was an endless stream of stairs going down.
I should have run to the bottom of the stairs a long time ago.
Brother Xiaosheng stopped. He really couldn't walk anymore.
He carefully pushed open the door on the side of the stairwell, and what appeared before him was the same floor corridor as before. It was exactly the same as the 12th floor and the 8th floor.
All the doors of the residents' rooms were closed. None of the doors had house numbers or room labels.
All exactly the same.
…
The puppy whimpered in its pet bag.
He stood there, feeling uneasy.
Xiaozhen sat in front of Boss Han's desk.
He was commissioned by Antian Xin to come to see Boss Han today. Because Antian Xin currently only had one head, he had to be absent from work for a long time at his regular job at the local human company.
An Tianxin didn't want to lose his decent job in the local area, so he entrusted Xiao Zhen to find Boss Han to settle the matter, calm the anger of the human boss, and save An Tianxin's job.
"I'm a little busy right now. Something happened in this building." Boss Han looked quite anxious. "Let's talk about Antianxin later."
This was the first time Xiao Zhen saw Boss Han with such a troubled expression. Based on his intuition and sense of trouble, he didn't want to ask Boss Han what happened in the building. So he sat on the sofa and looked at the furnishings in Boss Han's room boredly.
Then, his eyes were attracted by the surveillance camera hanging nearby, which showed a high school student walking into the elevator.
When the high school student's face appeared, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother Xiaosheng?"
