"Supervisor Gu, are you still not leaving? It's going to rain heavily soon!" Chen Shi stood by the office door with a black umbrella and greeted Gu Qing. There were bursts of anxious footsteps in the corridor. The thick black rain clouds in the sky made the employees in the Tenglong Building panic and rush home.
Gu Qing looked up from the computer and smiled sweetly at Chen Yu."Don't worry about me. Go back quickly. I still have something to do.”
Chen Shi nodded worriedly and turned away from the door. However, after only two minutes, he turned back.
"Supervisor Gu, did you bring an umbrella?”
"Uh…I didn't bring it…"
"Then use mine. I have another one in my office.”Chen Yu placed his umbrella beside the bookshelf.
"Ah…Thank you!" Gu Qing looked at this kind-hearted fatty gratefully.
As the speech left, the building gradually quieted down. Gu Qing looked at his watch. It was almost seven o'clock. The wind outside the window was already raging. The sky was filled with dark clouds mixed with rumbling thunder, breaking the last ray of sunlight.
Gu Qing pushed the window open, and the noise of the cars on the street became much softer. Through the window glass, it seemed to be another world that had nothing to do with him. Xuan Gang, who was napping under the clothes rack, was awakened by the thunder. He slowly walked to the window and stood up on the windowsill, silently watching the first raindrop hit the window glass. For the past two days, Xuangang had not left Gu Qing's side. Gu Qing had no choice but to let him sneak into his office.
With a whoosh, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open. Gu Qing turned around and saw Liu Tianming wrapped in a cold wind. Liu Tianming was carrying a multi-layered food tray in his left hand, and his right hand was brushing away the few drops of water on his head.
"That was close! If he had been a minute late, he would have been drenched!”Liu Tianming shook his jacket again.
Gu Qing looked out of the window again. At this moment, the sky and earth were connected by the rain pillars. It was raining heavily!
"I don't have time to mess around. The food I got from the canteen in the bureau is just a little bit. Don't think it's rough.”Liu Tianming placed the food tray on Gu Qing's desk.
"It's already good enough that someone sent food over. Why would they complain that the food is not good?”Gu Qing smiled.
Liu Tianming opened the first layer of the food tray and revealed a whole roast goose. Xuan Gang smelled the fragrance and immediately ran to Liu Tianming's legs. "Take it, take it.”Liu Tianming spread a newspaper on the ground and placed the roast goose on it.
"You're so good to Xuangang, even better than Yuwen.”Gu Qing looked down at Xuan Gang, who was eating the roast goose.
" I'm just trying to suck up to it. I don't know if it will accept my kindness…" Liu Tianming smiled bitterly and opened the remaining food trays.
Although the stir-fried food in the canteen wasn't very exquisite, it was still steaming hot, so Gu Qing enjoyed it quite a bit.
"Did you find anything today?" Liu Tianming took two mouthfuls of rice.
" Nothing special..." Gu Qing picked up a piece of vegetable, but he didn't put it into his mouth. His eyes were looking around the ceiling. "With such a heavy rain today, I don't know how many places will leak water tomorrow…"
"Are you still thinking about Du Tingtao? Wouldn't it have been better to report to Pu Yuan earlier?”Liu Tianming was a little disapproving.
Suddenly, Gu Qing quivered and his expression turned grave. Liu Tianming was stunned. He was about to ask when Gu Qing made a gesture to keep quiet.
"I think I heard the howling of Chaos again.”
"Ah?" Liu Tianming pulled out his gun out of reflex.
" It seems to be very far away from us, but also very close to us…" Gu Qing's eyes were confused." Listen carefully. The sound is very rough, not as shrill as Hun Dun's scream.”
Liu Tianming pricked up his ears, trying to catch a trace of the voice that Gu Qing had described. However, it was completely futile. He looked at Xuan Gang. The big dog was still attacking his roast goose and tearing the goose's head off its body. Why didn't Xuangang hear it? Or would it not be afraid even if it heard it?
After a while, Gu Qing's expression gradually softened." I can't hear anything now.”She started stuffing vegetables into her mouth.
"How can you scare people like this?" Liu Tianming drank a mouthful of soup unhappily.
"Who scared you? There really was a strange howl just now!”Gu Qing had encountered too many strange things recently. He hadn't improved in other aspects, but he had become much bolder.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. Hurry up and finish checking the last four floors. I've picked all the locks that I'll need to pick for the rest of my life in the past two days.”
The rain did not show any signs of abating. The dense lightning tore through the dark night sky from time to time. Every time thunder sounded, Liu Tianming's right eyelid would twitch.
After spending three hours, Liu Tianming opened more than forty doors on two floors in one go. His hand that was holding the two small iron wires was already trembling slightly, but he still found nothing. Gu Qing patted his shoulder apologetically and said softly,""Let's rest for a while. There's only the manager's office on the last floor. There aren't many rooms. The 24th floor is the banquet hall.”
Liu Tianming sighed and nodded. He leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.
Gu Qing was standing opposite Liu Tianming with her arms crossed and leaning against the wall. She was wearing a white business suit today, and a short skirt that didn't reach her knees revealed a pair of fair and slender calves. Liu Tianming looked up from the bottom, and Gu Qing's figure was even more slender and tall, with an extraordinary temperament. Gu Qing noticed Liu Tianming's gaze and blushed slightly. He unnaturally pulled down his skirt. Liu Tianming immediately felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned his face to the other side.
At this moment, Gu Qing's phone rang. She picked it up and it was Yuwen.
"It's raining so heavily today. Are you still in the Tenglong Building?”
"Yes, we haven't checked the offices on the last two floors. It shouldn't take long.”
"Why don't you stop investigating? Hurry up and go home!”Yuwen suddenly said firmly.
"What? Why?" Gu Qing was puzzled.
"When the world is filled with rain, it is the day when the Ethereals are at their strongest. It's too dangerous in the building. You'd better hurry…"
The call was suddenly cut off! Gu Qing looked down and saw that his phone was out of battery.
"What did Yuwen say? "Liu Tianming stood up and patted his butt.
"He said it was dangerous here and told us to go home. Then his phone died.”
"We're just one level away. Let's hurry up and investigate before we leave. Who knows, if we miss today, we might miss another crucial clue!”In fact, Liu Tianming didn't care if he had to finish the investigation today. However, when he saw Yuwen calling Gu Qing, he was a little unhappy and conflicted.
"Then…wait for me. I'll go down and change my phone battery before coming up.”Gu Qing hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Xuan Gang followed Gu Qing to the elevator. Liu Tianming sat down again and continued to smoke his half cigarette.
22... 21... 20... Every time they passed a floor, Gu Qing could see a trace of light moving up through the gap between the two elevator doors.
" Ding…" As the elevator stopped, Gu Qing took a step back.
They had already reached the 18th floor, but why couldn't they see the light when they looked out through the crack in the door?
Xuan Gang stood in front of Gu Qing and barked at the door.
The moment the elevator door opened, a black shadow flashed past the door at an extremely fast speed. The lights from the corridor shone into the elevator.
Gu Qing's heart sank. Although it was only for a split second, she still saw a green eye of the black shadow!
Xuan Gang stepped out of the elevator first. Gu Qing struggled for a while before following him out.
The street lights were all on, and the entire corridor could be seen at a glance. There was not even a piece of paper on the clean ground, let alone people.
Gu Qing began to regret not calling Liu Tianming down. She ran to her office in a panic and took out the key to open the door.
The battery was on the table. Gu Qing was anxious and took a lot of effort to open the back cover of the phone. She only let out a sigh of relief when the phone was replaced with the battery and the words " China Mobile " appeared on the screen. She was about to call Liu Tianming to come down. Now, she did not dare to take the elevator alone.
However, she did not notice that her body had been enveloped by a black shadow!
The black shadow's appearance was so sudden that even Xuan Gang, who was always alert, did not notice it. The black shadow suddenly grabbed Xuan Gang's hind leg. Before he could scream, he was thrown out of the door by a huge force!
The muffled sound of Xuangang hitting the wall alarmed Gu Qing. She turned around in surprise.
Heavens! What kind of monster was this?
The first thing Gu Qing saw was a huge bronze shield. The rough edge of the shield was two meters tall, and there was a ferocious beast head carved in the middle. A pair of large black feet appeared under the shield, covered in thick black hair. Gu Qing had yet to see what was behind the shield. Right now, she only wanted to step back, but her legs were trembling.
The monster took two steps forward and slowly moved the shield away. Gu Qing screamed. What appeared in front of her was a monster with a wolf head and a human body that was covered in black fur. Its body was abnormally tall, and the most terrifying thing was its teeth! It had two thick and sharp teeth that pierced through its lower jaw and hung below its knees. Then, a sharp spike rose up.
The monster stared at Gu Qing with its sharp blue eyes. Suddenly, it bent its body slightly, opened its hands, and let out a long howl. The hoarse howl echoed in the building. Gu Qing covered his ears and suddenly remembered the strange whistle he heard when he was eating. It was the same as what he heard now.
The howl only lasted for a few seconds before it was interrupted by an angry bark. Gu Qing was pleasantly surprised to see Xuan Gang rise from behind the monster and pounce on the back of the monster's neck. Xuan Gang was thrown against the wall outside the door, but fortunately, he was not injured. Perhaps the monster's strength was not comparable to Hun Dun's. After a moment, Xuan Gang turned around and pounced back.
Although it was not as strong as Hun Dun, the monster was much more agile than Hun Dun. Seeing that Xuan Gang's sharp teeth were about to reach its throat, it did not dodge at all. The bronze shield in its left hand whistled at a strange angle and instantly blocked Xuan Gang's attack. From Gu Qing's perspective, that thick arm should have been broken long ago if it was waving backward in such a way. How could it have such a great strength to block Xuangang?
Xuangang's attack failed, so he stepped on the shield with his claws and used the momentum to roll over the monster's head. He fell in front of the monster with his back facing it. When its hind claws passed by the monster's face, it suddenly kicked back. Its target was actually the monster's eyes! The monster's reaction was still very fast. It tilted its head back and slashed at Xuan Gang's abdomen with its one-meter-long white sharp toothbrush.
Xuan Gang seemed to be very afraid of that pair of sharp teeth. He immediately gave up on the backward kick that was about to succeed. His two front claws hooked onto a large clothes rack beside him. After swinging out a beautiful arc in the air, he dodged the sharp teeth that were standing upright. After the clothes rack was brought down by Xuan Gang's weight, it was silently cut into three pieces by the sharp teeth!
After the clothes rack broke, it fell to the ground with a few clangs. Gu Qing was shocked. The clothes rack was made of stainless steel. Although it was hollow, it still had some weight. How could it be cut into three pieces? The monster's fangs were so sharp?
After Xuangang landed on the ground, he immediately protected the place where Gu Qing was standing. He looked at the monster's open chest and immediately showed the demeanor of an expert in offense and defense. The monster's attention was immediately attracted by Xuangang. It took half a step sideways and swung the bronze shield back to its chest. The shield hit its chest with a dull bang.
As the monster moved, the exit of the office behind it was revealed. Xuan Gang's eyes flashed and he barked softly. He actually made a human-like gesture. Gu Qing immediately understood Xuan Gang's intention. It wanted him to rush out of the door!
Before Gu Qing could think further, a bolt of lightning struck down from the window. The black-furred monster that was illuminated by the lightning instantly launched an attack. Its sharp teeth rushed straight towards Xuan Gang's head like a spear. Faced with the incoming danger, Xuan Gang did not dodge from the side but chose to retreat in a straight line. The monster's momentum did not decrease as it approached Xuan Gang step by step. In the blink of an eye, it brushed past Gu Qing. Not only did Gu Qing feel the sound of the sharp teeth cutting through the air, but he also smelled the thick smell of blood from the monster!
The small office was only six meters square. Xuan Gang only took a few steps back and was already pressed against the wall. Gu Qing ran to the door in a few steps and looked back. She saw that the monster's fangs were less than half a meter away from Xuan Gang. She cried out in surprise and forgot that she should run out of the office immediately. Seeing that he had successfully lured the monster away, Xuan Gang jumped on the spot, crossed the large desk to the left, and landed on Gu Qing's seat. The monster couldn't stop its momentum, and its tusks stabbed into the wall.
Gu Qing thought that the monster's teeth would be stuck in the wall, but who knew that the monster's teeth would pierce through the wall like a hot knife into butter. It was extremely easy! Then, the monster shook its head, and Long Fang swept out from the wall with a cloud of dust. Xuan Gang did not seem to expect the monster's fangs to be so sharp. He jumped off the chair in a panic to avoid the attack. He did not dare to confront the monster head-on again. He ran towards Gu Qing in a sorry state, and the back of Gu Qing's office chair was easily cut in half by Long Fang.
Seeing that Xuan Gang also needed to escape, Gu Qing realized that she was blocking the way. She quickly turned around and ran. As she ran, she threw off her high heels and didn't forget to call Liu Tianming.
He made a mistake in his haste. Gu Qing didn't call Liu Tianming, but Yuwen Shuxue.
"Hello? Are you guys back?" Yuwen shouted anxiously.
"Help! There's a…a monster that wants to kill me.”Gu Qing said breathlessly, but immediately realized that it was useless to look for Yuwen. Yuwen was lying in the hospital, how could he save her?
"What is it? Hun Dun appeared again?"
"No…not Hun Dun! It was a long-toothed monster with a large shield!”Gu Qing ran to the elevator and heard heavy footsteps behind her. She didn't need to look back to know that the monster was chasing after her.
"Shield? Fangs?" Yuwen paused for a moment before he screamed," Is it a monster with a beast's head and a human body, black fur all over its body, and teeth as long as its body?”
"This is it!" Gu Qing answered. It was obviously too late to wait for the elevator. She was running to the 22nd floor through the fire escape because Liu Tianming was there.
"Chiseltooth! You guys actually encountered the Chiseltooth!" Yuwen's voice was extremely anxious.
"What is it? A table?" Gu Qing's mobile phone had a bad signal in the fire escape.
"Chisel! Teeth!"
"Chiseltooth, right? It doesn't matter what it's called. The question is, what should we do now?”The sound of the monster breaking through the fire door came from under her feet. Gu Qing was already panicking.
"What else can we do? Let Xuangang hold it back, you and Liu Tianming run!”
Gu Qing looked down and saw that Xuan Gang was right behind her. He probably didn't want to face that monster anymore.
"Liu Tianming is not with me now. I have to find him quickly!”After saying this, Gu Qing hung up the phone. She pushed open the fire door on the 22nd floor and ran desperately to the corner of the corridor where she had separated from Liu Tianming.
However, there was no one there.
Gu Qing was so anxious that she was about to cry. She paced back and forth in the corridor in a panic. She called Liu Tianming's cell phone, but it was still busy!
Without any warning, a pair of long white teeth suddenly protruded from the wall behind Gu Qing!
