Chapter 1222 The news brought by Yake!
......
Said a few words casually.
Jax then decided to part ways.
"When the stars meet, we are competitors after all."
"If we stay together any longer, we might attract the attention of those guys."
Jax's expression grew cautious. "I'm new here, and I don't want to run into them so early."
"Just, go ahead?"
I can tell.
Senior Jax participated in the star meeting.
The warlike factor that had been hidden for many years was fully aroused.
I can't wait to meet other contestants, collect treasures, and challenge the top ten with greater strength.
Jax.
An invincible generation in the abyss world.
He casually picked up a street lamp and suppressed the other strong men so that they could not raise their heads.
Moreover, in a meeting of all the stars, he only lost to the god-like sword master, Yi.
Even in this meeting of stars with the participation of countless powerful people from all over the world, it still has the courage to seize the first place.
The three nodded.
Medusa, who had been silent all the time, also expressed her respect by watching them go.
She knew it.
If Jax hadn't arrived in time.
Three of them.
Perhaps only Li Yao still has a chance of escape.
"Two things." Jax tore open a space tunnel and looked at Li Yao.
"The old guys at home are very optimistic about you, especially Li Yao. While competing for the quota, pay attention to your own safety."
"Also, if the three of you get together... well, it's best to act separately. Three SSS-level treasures are still too conspicuous. If you keep them together for too long, something bad will happen."
"At least..."
"You will only be qualified to join us after you are confident in dealing with a strong opponent like the one just now."
After saying that, Jax stepped into the space tunnel.
Completely disappeared here.
"What?" The nun couldn't help but grumble when she saw Jax leave. "Just watch it, why did you have to mention it, 'especially Li Yao'?"
"It seems as if we are just incidental."
......
"Okay, we're almost there! Look, that house over there! The one with the Japanese gate! Yes, that's the landmark."
I confirmed where she pointed and nodded. It was just as the minister had told us. The pine and persimmon trees that stretched out from the courtyard were a perfect example of Japanese style.
"Such a luxurious house...will there be a dry landscape garden inside..."
"It's possible! Let's go!"
She probably only wanted to get the money. She asked me to take the introduction materials, but she walked into the yard quickly by herself. She saw that the gate was open and rushed in without caring whether there was a doorbell.
It would be terrible if there was a ferocious dog that would attack people without its owner watching. I thought about this and hurried towards the gate.
"ah!"
Just then, I heard a scream. I was shocked and rushed through the door.
"Miiko!"
Had she been attacked by a ferocious dog and become a victim of its teeth? The thought of a wound on her fair and tender skin filled me with uneasiness.
I was worried about her.
Miiko was being harassed by a slightly yellow Labrador Retriever. The dog licked Miiko's face with its tongue. Miiko put her head on the ground and giggled.
"Oh! It's so itchy! Hey, Glacier! This dog seems to be very friendly!"
"You're playing a trick on me again, I..."
"I didn't mean to tease you this time! Because the dog suddenly pounced on me."
"Yes, yes...Is that so? It's not on a leash either, so it seems to be true."
"Really? Huh?"
When Miiko said "Eh," I also felt a strong sense of disharmony. Somehow, I felt a strange feeling of discomfort in my heart.
What's going on? I felt uneasy. An indescribable panic. Suddenly, an image of an old man reaching out his hand feebly emerged in my mind.
I wanted to quickly eliminate this strange feeling, so I asked her the reason for this disharmony.
"The door is open...that door."
"And the dog wasn't on a leash, was it? Eh, eh?"
"Is this dog... trained?"
I tried to come up with my own ideas, but the fog in my mind wouldn't clear. Miiko stroked the dog's chin while explaining a situation that couldn't be explained by training.
"First of all, the first point. Maybe you don't know, but Labradors have the habits of hunting dogs. When they see something they are interested in, they can't help but chase it. If they are trained to be guide dogs, they usually won't run away from home casually, but this dog is obviously not one of them. This is easy to see."
After listening to her explanation, I finally got rid of that feeling of disharmony.
"Well, the second point is the dog's own personality, right? If it was a guide dog, it wouldn't have pounced like that. This dog would definitely pounce when it saw someone on the road."
"That is to say," I just said this, and a bad premonition came over me again. A chill down my spine.
I hope that won't be the result. I prayed while thinking carefully about Miiko's words.
"So it's not normal for the door to be open."
"Then, then a visitor came and opened the door and went out... and the door was left open like that... T-That's possible, right? Right, Miiko...?"
I raised my objection. I hoped she would say, "Yeah. If a visitor opened the door and left, that would make sense." If she rejected my idea...
This is the only possibility in my past experience.
"No. This possibility is very low. Because this dog is so friendly to strangers, it means that the owner is raising it very carefully. Look, its fur is very smooth and beautiful. The owner must be very careful not to let it run away. What if the dog runs out and gets hit by a car? Even if it is not intentional, it may hurt others. And."
"And, and?"
"If it's a visitor, the host will probably see him off. At that time, he will definitely check whether the door is closed properly."
"Um... so, so."
I prayed that she wouldn't say anything I didn't want to hear, but it was no use.
"There's no way out. Maybe someone has collapsed inside."
"But, but, aren't there always stories like that? It's about a dog that finds its owner collapsed and goes to ask for help. If something serious happened, the dog should behave even more strangely..."
"That's just a plot in a TV show!"
"...I know! Let's go!"
There's no way this could happen.
The owner inside had collapsed. This shouldn't have happened. To confirm the truth, I opened the door. It was not locked!
Is this why I can't see the visitor off... No... That's absolutely impossible.
The more I shouted in my heart, the stronger the uneasy factor became. I suddenly remembered the minister's words.
"Oh, right. I heard that the old man collapsed once because of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Don't make him angry... Since I'm not the one going, I won't tell you anything, okay?"
There was a reason. A reason for people to fall down and lose important things.
No. That's too weak. We must be overthinking it.
The door to the living room was open. I was about to go in, but Miiko passed me. In the middle of the room filled with antiques.
"Uh……"
She ran over and rubbed her eyes several times. I couldn't believe what I saw. I kept screaming, trying to deny what was happening.
"Miiko? Huh? Why? Why? What's going on? Is there still hope? Is there still hope? Is there still hope?!"
"You can't tell just by looking at it... Wait a minute."
