The Alien Species in the City

At the front entrance of Mu Ningshuang's house, Hua Yueling knelt on the ground, studying the door lock carefully.

Before picking the lock, he was careful enough to observe the surrounding situation first. After all, the front door of the monitor’s house is facing a wide road leading to a distance. Pedestrians may pass by at any time, and the nearby houses are basically two-story buildings. In addition to ensuring that there are no pedestrians on the street, he must also make sure that there are no second floors in the surrounding area. people at.

Although she may have been overly cautious, Hua Yueling didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and there was nothing wrong with being careful.

He had been investigating early, and there was no back door for the monitor.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether he could invade from the window, but after careful consideration, he gave up this idea. Walking through the window is actually not as convenient as walking through the door.

It is much easier to pick a lock than to break a window. After all, he doesn't need to do it himself. Xiaoxue has said that she can help in this regard.

"Xiaoxue, it's up to you to pick the lock."

"Well, the master will take a look, just call it to others!" Xiaoxue was full of energy.

Take out the lock picking tool. The tool was not bought, but Xiaoxue personally guided and taught him to make it, specifically for lock picking. What surprised him most was that after making the lock picking tool, he even refreshed the task of turning on the manufacturing system, making ten things, finding a manufacturing drawing, and retrieving the complete manufacturing workshop scattered outside.

The task is not simple, especially after he asked Xiaoxue.

"Just insert it into the keyhole, nothing else?"

"That's right, the master is quicker. With the strength of others, he can pry it open in no time, and it is very simple."

Hua Yueling inserted the unlocking tool into the keyhole according to Xiaoxue's instructions, and kept moving, waiting for Xiaoxue's next prompt.

He was not so proficient in picking locks. Xiaoxue had taught him how to do it, and he had practiced it, but it was obvious that he couldn't pick a lock for a while.

Before he waited long, there was a soft "click" and the door lock was unlocked. Witly glanced around, Hua Yueling quickly opened the door after confirming that there was no one, and walked into the house quickly.

After closing the door, he locked the door again, just to be cautious.

"Don't worry now, you can search with peace of mind. Even if someone really comes back then, you won't find someone breaking through the door immediately."

The reason why I think so is because of Koyuki's explanation when accepting the task. Without her reminder, Hua Yueling would not have thought of this.

"The best thing for the owner to be careful is that the system will not release tasks for no reason, and the more this seemingly simple task, the more rewarding it is, the more likely there will be changes in the middle, leading to a sharp increase in the difficulty of the task."

"Variable..." Huayueling frowned slightly, thinking, "Xiaoxue, do you have a clue?"

"People don't know the specific situation. The system release tasks have systematic intentions, and they don't know. But the owner should be careful in everything, don't be careless."

This was Xiaoxue's reminder at the time, he kept it in mind.

Standing in the living room and looking around, looking upstairs along the stairs, he probably understood the structure of the squad leader’s house. He thought about where to start. According to his ideas, the most likely place to lose power was the squad leader’s room. , So it’s best to search there first.

"Let’s target the monitor’s room first,"

The goal was set, and he walked upstairs. Although it was the first time, he felt that the monitor's room should be on the second floor.

"Master, they have different ideas."

"Huh?" Huayueling's already stepped steps stopped in the air. Of course Xiaoxue had to listen to him if he had an opinion. "What do you think? Xiaoxue, just say it."

"The master does not need to rush to find the lost power. People have a feeling that finding the lost power too early is not a good thing for the master. Anyway, the master must stay here for at least 15 minutes. People think it is better to recover the lost power first. Complete other tasks."

"..." Looking down in thought, Hua Yueling whispered: "Xiaoxue, do you have that strange feeling too?"

"Master does it too?" Xiaoxue asked strangely.

"Not really, but vaguely reluctant to go upstairs."

Xiaoxue believes that her instincts are not wrong, and that girls' intuitions are always accurate, she thought.

After simple thinking, Hua Yueling decided to trust intuition and use it as a benchmark for her actions.

"If this is the case, then act according to Xiaoxue's and my own intuition, and finish the other tasks first."

"Ok!"

Xiaoxue happily responded.

After the first level of exploration, I have to admit that Huayueling’s anti-theft work is really good, almost all the lockable places are locked, and it took him a long time to pick the lock. Even with the help of Xiaoxue, he did part of it alone, which was the time wasted.

"Crack!"

The last drawer was opened, and Hua Yueling asked Xiaoxue to lock the lock again. He was here to take away the lost power, not to steal something. He didn't want to wait for the squad leader's family to come home and see a scene of robbers coming.

"This is the last one on the first floor, right?"

Around the first floor with the living room as the center, he checked all the places, not even a corner.

"Then go to the second floor."

Step on the stairs upstairs, all the way to the second floor, and check all the rooms along the aisle from beginning to end. The doors of the rooms were all locked, and when he arrived outside the door of the room at the deepest part of the corridor, Hua Yingxue, who had not spoken yet, reacted.

"The lost power is inside..."

Before Xiaoxue spoke the words, she whispered, as if she had discovered something incredible.

"Is there a problem?" Hua Yueling asked suspiciously.

Silence shrouded, Xiaoxue did not immediately answer his question, she seemed shocked, and she seemed to be thinking. She didn't speak, and Hua Yueling couldn't guess what happened.

"People finally understand why there are second and third tasks."

He heard a bitter taste in Xiaoxue's smile.

"Xiaoxue is talking about the two tasks of collecting the complete lost power and staying at the monitor's house for at least 15 minutes?"

"Yes." She shook her head in the video, and explained to him at a very fast speed: "After being investigated by others, the lost power in Mu Ningshuang's room is incomplete. The mission content includes Mentioned the need to collect the complete lost power."

"What does it mean to be incomplete?" Huayueling couldn't keep up with her thoughts.

"The lost power is like being torn off a large piece abruptly. If people guessed it right, the one torn off should be on Mu Ningshuang. It is estimated that she had noticed the master peeping at the lost power early on, so she did it long ago. Good preparation. When we arrived here, Mu Ningshuang received the message. If she was not expected to be wrong, she would be on the way back. If the owner does not leave at this time, she might be blocked at home."

"No, I can't back down because of this. Moreover, the lost power is carried by the squad leader, so I have to face her face-to-face sooner or later." Hua Yueling said firmly: "Even if the squad leader doesn't understand me, it doesn't matter. If you grab me, you will lose it. Grab the power!"
