I am Lapland’s rat!

People were coming and going on the street, and a couple was chatting happily in the corner.

Just as Wu Xian focused his attention on that area, a strange flying beast that was completely black, with a gray spot on its forehead, and wrapped in white cloth suddenly jumped out of the alley!

The young man was startled by the flying beast, and the man took advantage of the situation and hugged the woman.

Then, another man in a gray shirt rushed out of the alley with sweat on his face. He grabbed the couple and asked them something, and immediately chased the mole beast in the direction where it left.

"—?!"

But the most surprised person was not the couple, but Wu Xian who was leaning by the window and observing the street.

"Awang?!"

Wu Xian was really frightened.

He and Awang have known each other for three months, and they can be regarded as rat friends in the sewer. With such obvious characteristics, he can't admit his mistake!

"Awang is not dead yet?"

"Is he still being hunted?"

Wu Xian looked back at Du Qiao and found that he was focusing on solving his own pizza.

Wu Xian hesitated for about a second.

Then, he made up his mind, took a running start, and easily jumped onto the half-open window.

Then he jumped again, jumped out of the window, and ran quickly in the direction where Awang disappeared!

Awang saved his life.If it hadn't been for Awang, Wu Xian would have died at the hands of Lapland, and there would have been no such thing as following Duccio to the restaurant for pizza.

Forget it if Awang dies. A rat's life is worthless. Wu Xian can only mourn for him for three seconds.

But Awang is still alive, and Wu Xian still has to repay the favor... the favor.

The key is that a monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple. Now that he knows the location of this restaurant and what Lapland lives like, Wu Xian has many ways to get back.

He was also confident that Lapland would not be angry with him, because the fact that "the mole beast would come back on its own initiative after running away" was interesting enough.

"Awang, wait for me!"

"--Hey!"

By the time Du Qiao realized Wu Xian's intentions, it was already too late.

He was dumbfounded as he watched Wu Xian jump out of the window and run away without looking back.

No!

Did you promise not to run around?

If you want to run, why not run now?Haven't there been many opportunities before?

Just eat some pizza and drink enough before leaving, right?

"Ah...it's really just a mole beast, damn it! Why do I have the illusion that it's very smart!"

Du Qiao was a little annoyed.

——At this time, the communicator rang.

I picked it up and saw that the caller ID was still Miss Lapland.

Then he started to panic.

……

Wu Xian ran along the edge of the street following the familiar smell left by Awang, causing a burst of exclamations.

But no one can step on him. His experience as a stray rat in the past few months is not out of thin air.

While running, Wu Xian began to think about Awang's condition.

"The white cloth wrapped around his body is obviously abnormal...Awang was kicked away by Lapland. Logically speaking, he should be dead."

"It was lucky enough to survive. Someone rescued it?"

"But who would save a dirty rat? Even the most kind-hearted elementary school girl should know that a dead rat should not be touched."

"..."

There are many mysteries, but Wu Xian has no clue.

After all, he is just a rat, unlike humans who can talk and look for answers in many ways.

"……Um."

The smell has faded.

Wu Xian stopped in a dark corner, looked up at the unfamiliar street, and recalled that he felt that his running speed was not as fast as Awang.

How to do?

It was dusk.

Wu Xian raised his head and saw a young Luper carrying a schoolbag on the street, as if he was on his way home from school.

Wu Xian rushed over, startling young Luper.

However, the brave young man was not afraid of the mole beast at all. Looking at the mole beast that seemed to be in a daze in the middle of the street, the boy went up and kicked it!

"I'm super, Ha, don't kick me! Run! Ah Wang, help me!"

A sense of panic hit Wu Xian's heart. Wu Xian suddenly felt that he could jump higher and run faster, and various smells became clearer in his perception.

Moisturized!

Wu Xian ran in the direction of Awang's scent, startling the young man and causing him to fall to the ground!

Moisturized!

In panic, Wu Xian followed Awang's scent trail and ran quickly on the ground, the surrounding scenery turning into afterimages.

……

When the panic gradually subsided, Wu Xian noticed that Awang's scent clues had been cut off without warning.

"Where did I go, Shushu?"

Wu Xian raised his head and looked around.

Later, he discovered that this was a familiar place that he had just visited.

The aroma of bread overflowed from the shop, completely overpowering Awang's body odor.

"Why is it this bakery?"

Wu Xian was a little confused, and then he smelled a strong smell of blood.

There were voices in the bakery:

"Where's the key?"

"Not found! Look quickly, the key should be here!"

"Damn it, those lunatics in Saluzzo..."

Wu Xian hurriedly ran into the bakery and saw that the fat shopkeeper had already fallen on the counter, his head tilted to one side, and blood was pouring out from his neck, overflowing from the wooden counter, and then flowing out again. to the ground.

Chapter 9 Shushu is very lucky!

"You can escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade, uncle."

Wu Xian observed three seconds of silence for the deceased uncle.

I don't know if this uncle is really a civilian involved in a family dispute, or if he is just a well-disguised spy.

From what Duccio said, Wu Xian knew that the Saluzzo family was looking for a lost key, and that the key seemed to have been stolen by another family.

This matter was handed over to Lapland, who left the negotiation and key-finding work to Duccio, who was solely responsible for the fight.

But all this has nothing to do with Wu Xian. Let humans solve human affairs. His goal is just to find the missing Awang.

After another look at the uncle who was still staring blankly, Wu Xian jumped from the bakery floor to the wooden counter, carefully avoiding the blood.

As a rat in Syracuse, he saw many corpses.

The front desk of this bakery is simply separated from the kitchen for processing bread and the storage room for storing sundries at the back by a few wooden boards. Standing on the counter, Wu Xian can clearly hear the sounds coming from the storage room. the sound of.

"Can't find it! Did the Scone wolf cub transport it?"

"Impossible! Saluzzo's madman has been staring here, and there is no way that Scone's people would have a chance to come in! If we hadn't calculated mentally and unintentionally..."

"Okay, stop talking, hurry up, don't miss every corner!"

There are three voices in the storage room. One has a rich voice, like the leader of the other two.After he made the final decision, the other two people fell silent, and there was only the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

This also corresponds to the three body odors Wu Xian smelled. It seems that there should be no one in the kitchen.

So, Wu Xian jumped off the counter with confidence and got into the kitchen through the gap under the movable wooden door.

As expected, there was no one in the kitchen. On one side of the table were a few pieces of proofed dough covered with a wet cloth. On the other side was the stove. There were only a few sparks left in the charcoal fire in the fuel bin.

There is also a back door to the kitchen. The door is wide open at this time, and the door lock shows signs of being broken. It seems that uninvited guests broke in through the back door.

Needless to say, Wu Xian ran directly to the back door.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he sniffed, there was no scent of Awang coming from the deserted alley.

"..."

Somewhat disappointed, Wu Xian returned to the kitchen.

"Although I have considered the situation of returning without success...but I am still very unhappy."

Wu Xian jumped onto the dough-making table and sighed inwardly.

Awang's clues ended here. As a rat, his only way to find rats was by smelling them.

If you can't smell it, you can't find it.

How to do it?Should we go back to Duccio and Lapland directly now?

"Zhushu, I'm so unhappy! I really want to have more skills, instead of just being wet!"

Wu Xian felt a little irritable. He also knew that a bright future was in front of him, but he was still a little worried about gains and losses.

Looking at the round dough covered with a wet cloth in front of him, Wu Xian stretched out his paws, imagining it as a sandbag for decompression, and pulled hard.

pain!

He didn't expect that there would be hard objects in the dough. Wu Xian felt that his paws were a little bruised. He retracted his front paws as if he was electrocuted and checked. Fortunately, there should be no fractures.

"I'm interested in wrapping stones in the dough, right? You didn't die unjustly, uncle!"

Wu Xian's mood was even worse now.

But soon, he suddenly realized something and calmed down.

Think about it, who would put hard objects in the risen dough?It makes no sense!

Taking another closer look, there was something in the dough that he had pulled out a deep mark.

It was already dark at this time, and the last bit of sunset light filtered through the wide-open back door and shone on the dough, making the contents inside shine with a faint silver light in Wu Xian's eyes.

Silver light?

Wu Xian immediately cheered up and jumped onto a large piece of dough. Using his raw racial talent, he dug a dent in the dough in a few seconds.

That bit of silver light gradually revealed its true form——

It was a silver key, not too small, about half as long as Wu Xian's claws and as thick as Wu Xian's claws.

There is a clear sapphire dotted on the back end of the key. Even Wu Xian, who has no knowledge of this aspect, knows that this gem must be priceless.

"..."

Wu Xian looked at the key and was stunned for at least two seconds.

Then it reacted - isn't this the key that Lapland and Duccio were looking for!

And this is what the three people who are still searching through boxes and cabinets in the storage room need.

The uncle actually hid the key in the risen dough!

If they had searched for a while longer, they might have come back to the kitchen and checked inside the dough.
