Chapter 046 Basement Stairs
"The food is getting cold, eat quickly." Su Ming said.
After that, Su Ming shouted behind him: "Xia Xiaoyu! It's time to eat!"
"Here I come."
As soon as Su Ming opened his mouth, Xia Xiaoyu ran out from the corner behind him, pulled out a stool and sat down next to Su Ming.
She was stunned for a moment, then stood up and went to the kitchen to get some rice and chopsticks.
Su Ming felt pity when he saw this scene. Xia Xiaoyu's special ability was really terrible. No one could pay attention to her and she was the only one who could take care of herself.
"Next time when it's just the two of us, I'll cook for you." Su Ming said to Xia Xiaoyu who came back and sat next to him.
"Hmm? That sounds really happy." Xia Xiaoyu tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks and smiled mischievously, "Can I understand this sentence as you want to take care of me? Now you haven't fallen in love with me, so I can also understand that even if you don't live here, you still want to take care of me?"
Su Ming frowned, searching his mind for reasons to refute, and Xia Xiaoyu took the opportunity to continue talking.
"You want to find an excuse? I'll find one for you. Just say you want to repay me for taking care of you." Xia Xiaoyu paused, "I can accept this reason, but I will treat your words as 'I want to take care of you' in my heart. Is that okay?"
"Of course not. Your tricks won't work on me."
Su Mingru blocked the opponent's attack like an iron wall.
That's right, he has gradually adapted to Xia Xiaoyu's routine. To deal with this woman, he just needs to be shameless. There is no need to pretend to be a gentleman in front of her, and there is no need to consider her feelings.
On the contrary, if you care about her feelings and deliberately follow her words, you will fall into her gentle trap.
Xia Xiaoyu shrugged indifferently, then changed the subject and asked, "Did you find out anything from her?"
"Flora is the illegitimate daughter of the Osborn family." Su Ming replied, "But I still don't know why she proposed to me. The only thing I can be sure of is that she is attracted by my identity as a member of the Investigation Bureau. But there is nothing to guess, she will tell me later."
"You are wrong. In addition to your status as a member of the Investigation Bureau, your strength is also very attractive."
"That's not my strength. I killed the Metro Stalker with a dangerous trump card."
Xia Xiaoyu frowned when she heard this and guessed, "The containment object?"
"It can almost be understood as a storage object." Su Ming replied.
"When you use it, it attacks indiscriminately, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Because you asked me to take Flora away that time, I guess the prerequisite for using it is that there can be no companions around. It's normal to associate this with indiscriminate attacks."
"I really can't hide it from you." Su Ming sighed.
His past has almost been exposed by Xia Xiaoyu. She saw through his identity as a time traveler at a glance, and now she has also deduced the limitations of the use of the annihilation mode.
Now Su Ming’s only little secret is his super intuition.
"Now that you have seen through Flora's intentions, do you still want to accept her proposal?"
"Of course not, but I think I might be able to help her." Su Ming pondered.
Xia Xiaoyu was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you just want to help others?"
“Not exactly.”
"So there is a purpose?"
"I guess so, but I do want to help her."
“There are so many poor people in the world, you can’t help everyone.”
"You don't need a reason to help others. I helped her this time, and maybe she will help me next time." Su Ming said, "Didn't you help me too?"
Xia Xiaoyu blinked and said nothing more.
…
As the days of cohabitation passed, Su Ming gradually adapted to living under the loving gaze of Flora and Xia Xiaoyu.
But when Su Ming was stared at by Flora, he would often think of the sudden change of her expression that night. At this time, in Su Ming's eyes, Flora's affectionate gaze became cold.
A week has passed since they moved into this house. After Flora and Xia Xiaoyu entered a state of forced love, Su Ming would check the innermost door of the basement every day as requested .
Behind the door was a small storage room with poor lighting and was very dark.
According to the intelligence, after the cohabitants fall in love, after a period of time, unusual changes will occur behind this door, and the storage room will eventually turn into a staircase leading all the way down.
If you want to test the limit of your fear, you must enter that abnormal stairwell. They live here just to enter this stairwell.
Just this morning, Su Ming discovered that something was wrong with Flora.
Normally, Flora always keeps a calm and happy mood when doing things. Although she may become melancholy occasionally, she will never be as uneasy as she is now.
Flora now looks like she has lost her soul, and she is distracted even when cooking.
And it's not just Flora, even Xia Xiaoyu's condition is quite strange.
Su Ming sat at the dining table, looking at Flora's back in the kitchen, and said lightly: " Flora , the food seems to be burnt."
No response.
Su Ming stood up and walked behind Flora, patting her shoulder gently. Flora shuddered violently and turned around as if frightened.
When she saw that the person behind her was Su Ming, she was stunned for a moment, took a long breath, and forced a smile and said, "Are you hungry? Breakfast will be ready soon."
"It's burnt." Su Ming pointed at the frying pan.
Flora frowned when she turned around and saw the burnt egg on the edge of the frying pan: "Sorry, wait a few more minutes and make it again right away."
"Flora, what's wrong with you? I feel like you've been distracted lately. Is it because I revealed your identity?"
Flora stared at the ground with a confused expression.
"No, it's not about that. I've been hearing a girl's voice lately."
"A girl's voice? What kind of voice? What did she say?" Su Ming asked.
"It was a faint voice... It seemed to come from a very far away place. I could only vaguely hear it was a girl's voice, but I couldn't hear the specific content."
Su Ming was shocked and thought, has it entered the second stage now?
He turned to look at Xia Xiaoyu and asked, "Did you hear the sound too?"
"Well, the sound like being blown away by the wind makes me very concerned." Xia Xiaoyu said absentmindedly.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming immediately turned around and ran to the basement to look at the innermost door in the basement.
This time, after he opened the door, what he saw was not the small storage room, but a spiral staircase leading downward.
The staircase finally appeared!
Su Ming immediately took out his cell phone and called Sylvie: "Minister, the staircase has appeared!"
"Did you see that?"
"Um."
"You sound quite calm."
"Uh... okay, what should I do next?"
