Chapter 266 The defense battle begins
Zhou Bai followed behind Wu Chong's mother.
The team members who were patrolling along the road nodded respectfully when they saw her, and then continued to walk forward.
Zhou Bai looked at her back, still unable to connect the person walking in front of him with the crazy person that the old patriarch said.
He followed Wu Chong's mother all the way, and didn't stop until she returned to his room.
However, she entered the room extremely fast, as if she was afraid that someone would see what was in the room.
But Zhou Bai couldn't see the layout of her room clearly, only when she closed the door, he saw that there seemed to be an iron cage on her desk.
Zhou Bai approached her door, but saw her figure blocking the front of the table.
When she walked away, she saw a piece of cloth covering the cage.
Zhou Bai could only walk back in doubt.
While walking, I kept thinking about whether I had missed any key information.
Wu Chi and Wu Chong are all coveting the rooms with red notes.
Wu Chong's approach is to collect information and train undercover agents.
As for himself, he put on a mask with green faces and fangs, and when the mist came, he went to find the secrets of these rooms.
Wu Chi chose to secretly study these rooms in the dead of night.
He would put his hand close to the wooden doors of these rooms every time.
What is he doing this for?
Zhou Bai always felt that these rooms with red notes on them should be the key to his solution.
However, so many people are exploring the secrets of these rooms, but it seems that no one can really succeed.
Zhou Bai himself also had no clue.
With a stomach full of doubts, he walked back to the storage room in Wu Ying's room.
Wu Chong was hidden in the pile of debris by Zhou Bai and Wu Chi. At this time, he was still in a coma and did not wake up.
After Zhou Bai went to check it out, he slipped out of the room again.
He was taken away by Wu Hu today, so he can't get back through the mouse hole, but has to go in through the main entrance.
So, after Zhou Bai came out of the storage room, he walked to the door of Wu Ying's room.
But in my heart, I still feel that something is missing.
He stood at the door and knocked lightly on the door.
When Wu Ying opened the door, he realized that the mouse had disappeared.
During the daytime, the mouse would either stand in front of the mouse hole, or hide in the debris pile.
But when Zhou Bai went in to see Wu Chong, he didn't see it.
Zhou Bai faintly felt that something was wrong.
But the place where the mouse originally lived was taken over by someone, and it seemed normal to find a new place for itself.
The door in front of Zhou Bai was opened, and Wu Ying's small figure appeared in front of Zhou Bai.
"Little black cat, why did you go out for so long today before you came back?
Are you hungry?
I left a lot of delicious food for you. "
Zhou Bai saw that Wu Ying had a happy smile after seeing him, so he could only go in for the time being.
He sat on the table, holding a large fried dough stick in two cat paws, and sorted out his thoughts while gnawing.
The cage in Wu Chong's mother's room appeared in his mind.
Then, think about the missing mouse.
However, Zhou Bai really couldn't figure it out, if Wu Chong's mother really had that mouse in her cage, what would she do to catch it?
Throw out the old house?
Or, just kill it?
Zhou Bai felt that there should be some key information that he didn't know yet.
After finishing his breakfast, he sneaked out again while Wu Ying was studying.
However, when he went to the door of Wu Chong's mother's room again, he saw that there was no one in her room.
Moreover, the cage that was originally placed on her desk was nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Bai went back to the storage room and searched every corner, but he still couldn't find the mouse.
The more Zhou Bai thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. In the afternoon, when Wu Ying went to the old patriarch to check his homework, he slipped out again.
However, this time he searched almost the entire Wu family's old house again, but also did not see the mouse.
Zhou Bai came to the evening feeling a little uneasy.
Although he no longer had to hide from people outside, Zhou Bai still habitually jumped into Wu Ying's back basket.
Then follow her to the courtyard on the first floor.
Wu Chi was still the last one to come to the yard as usual.
However, he came late this time because he had to transfer Wu Chong to another place first.
As his accomplice, Wu Hu came a little earlier than him, and stood beside the old patriarch in a hurry and panting.
Zhou Bai stuck his cat's head out of the basket this time.
Then saw the old patriarch with a cold face, turned to look at Wu Hu, and then started the preparation process for today's defense battle.
Wu Chong did not appear because he was kidnapped by Zhou Bai.
Presumably someone asked about Wu Chong's whereabouts today, but the old patriarch prevaricated him.
So the people present did not raise any questions because of Wu Chong's disappearance.
However, compared with other people who are more distant, the state of Wu Chong's mother seems a bit unusual.
There is not much expression on her face.
There is no tension or rush, but it seems to be immersed in your own world.
What happened around her had nothing to do with her.
Zhou Bai's gaze stayed on her somewhat numb face for a while.
I felt something was wrong.
However, I really can't find a way to solve my doubts.
I can only keep telling myself to be more careful tonight.
He moved his eyes away from Wu Chong's mother, and then continued to focus on the preparations ahead.
After everyone took their own weapons and stood in their combat positions, Zhou Bai jumped out of Wu Ying's back basket.
His main combat position today is at the top of Wu's old house.
So, after he jumped out of Wu Ying's back basket, he ran directly along the stone steps to the meeting hall.
Behind him is the courtyard where the Manwu clan gathered.
And his little black figure, riding the night like this, shuttled through the huge old Wu family house.
On the top of the old house, except for some decorative green plants, there is only one conference hall.
Zhou Bai found a position where he could see the left and right sides, and then hid himself.
Outside the chamber, Wu Hu still had two people guarding him.
However, compared with the defensive strength in other places, this place seems to be much lax.
Zhou Bai hid in the shadows, and not long after, he heard the roar of the monster, which began to echo in the mountains again.
