Xinghai entered the ventilation duct, which is a very strange environment for it. There are cool metal walls on the top, bottom, left, and right, and there is a straight passage in the front and back. Its cheeks, blowing backwards.

It lowered its head and noticed that the metal wall below was covered with a thin layer of dust, and the paw prints left by several rows of small animals stretched from one end to the other end, disappearing around the corner. The paw prints are very messy, there are two directions, and it seems that they are not left by the same small animal.

Xinghai raised one of his front paws, tilted his head and stared at it for a few seconds, and then put the paw next to one of the paw prints. After a little comparison, the size and shape seemed to be very close.

"Bad boy..." it muttered to itself.

At this time, an anxious voice came from below the passage: "Where is Xinghai? Where did Xinghai go?"

The sound was distorted through the tight metal wall, but it was immediately confirmed that it was Zhang Zian's voice.

Xinghai shouted down without hesitation: "Zian, Xinghai has come in!"

After shouting, it stared at the metal wall under its feet, quietly waiting for Zhang Zian's response.

"Be careful, Xinghai." His voice came again.

Xinghai was a little disappointed because he didn't get the expected compliment, but "be careful" seemed good.

It doesn't know that there is anything to be careful about, because there is nothing in the passage except itself, if there is anything, it is just dust floating in the air, faint paw prints on the metal wall, and a few tiny hairs of any color. Yes, white, black, yellow, gray...

What should I do next?

Xinghai thought about it carefully, but he had no clue. Seeing that Zhang Zian was in a dilemma, it decided to come in impulsively, but it didn't know what to do after it came in.

It felt stupid, thought of Fei Na and Lao Cha again, and felt very envious in its heart. If they were here, they would definitely act without thinking. Old Tea is always calm, no matter what happens, he just smiles lightly, and then solves it easily with his profound wisdom and superb martial arts; Fina is only interested in shiny things, and is always interested in other things or people. He had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he was saying don't bother me, go as far as you can... Maybe except for Zhang Zian.

what to do? Do you want to go out and ask Zian, Lao Cha and Fei Na to come in again?

Meow~ I feel so ashamed!

Xinghai wrinkled his nose and sniffed it like old tea, but he couldn't smell any strange smell. Maybe it was there, but he couldn't tell it apart. After all, he wasn't a cat, and he didn't have such a keen sense of smell.

In short, first choose a side and walk around, if there is any danger... then run away.

It looked down at the paw prints again, and one of them looked clear and fresh. It came from the front and went to the back, so it decided to follow this line of paw prints to look for it.

The passage was narrow and dark, making it feel like it was back in that horrible black box. If it was darker and narrower, it would definitely want to run away. Even now, it felt terrified, as if it had stepped into an endless tunnel that narrowed and narrowed until it was completely trapped.

It didn't want to just run back, because it would be embarrassing. Although Zhang Zian would definitely comfort it, saying that it was okay, as long as Xinghai came back safely, it was still embarrassing. And it really wants those bad boys to correct their mistakes, not to steal things, and to be a good boy, so that they will definitely meet someone who really likes them.

Xinghai walked carefully, looked down at the paw prints, and then looked up at the front. Dim light came from the passage ahead, it was sunlight that had been refracted several times and became weak. It misses the leisurely time in the pet shop very much, it is always so peaceful, it can lie in the warm sunshine and close its eyes and take a nap, even if there is any problem, there will be Fina and old tea to solve it.

It moved its ears, and could vaguely hear the conversation between Zhang Zian and Lao Cha through the metal wall.

It couldn't hear what was being said, but the sound itself reassured it.

Step by step, the light ahead became brighter and brighter, but Zhang Zian's voice became weaker and weaker.

The fork in the road has arrived.

The ventilation duct is divided into four here, leading to the front, left, right, and top respectively.

Xinghai looked up, and the light came from above. On the roof far away, the ventilation fan rotated at a constant speed, with a low humming sound, smashing the sunlight to form mottled and changing light and shadows. Send it down.

It squatted at the fork in the road, looking blankly at the three passages forward, left and right, not knowing which one to choose. There are paw prints left in every passage, and it really wants to find them all, but it is afraid of getting lost and will never find its way home.

This building is so big and complicated, it's like a maze, and Zhang Zian is like a small grain of sand in the maze, and itself is another smaller grain of sand.

But it has to choose a direction. If it just retreats like this, wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain?

At this moment, a faint sound entered its ears.

hiss

It sounded like something sharp on metal.

Xinghai felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. It thought about it carefully, and sometimes Fina would lose her temper because the food tasted too bad, and the sound of paws scratching the metal food bowl was somewhat similar to this.

The sound came from the passage ahead. It thought about it and decided to choose this path. However, just as it took a step, its body seemed to have encountered an invisible wall and was blocked.

Xinghai stretched out a front paw, and pressed a few times in the air in front of him. There is indeed an invisible wall in front of him. The air can flow and the dust can fall. It seems that only it can't pass through.

It thinks of the new parrot elf. It seems that it has encountered this situation on the roof of the pet shop. It seems to be imprisoned by the game settings or something. Even the old tea with great wisdom has taken a long time to recover Free to leave Zhang Zian's side.

How to do it?

Another soft sound came from the depths of the passage ahead.

Xinghai didn't want to wait any longer, thinking was not its forte, so it closed its eyes, and when it opened them again, it had teleported forward for a short distance, leaving the fork behind, and appeared on the invisible road. On the other side of the restriction, no new paw prints were left on the floating dust of the metal passage, only the air contracted and expanded correspondingly due to its sudden disappearance and appearance, rolling up subtle vortices invisible to the naked eye.

"Xinghai hide-and-seek is the best." It whispered to itself.

It trotted up and pursued in the direction where the sound came from.

At the same time, the screen of Zhang Zi's mobile phone in his pocket lit up, and the "Pet Hunter" game started by itself, but the game interface flickered a few times as if disturbed, and then quit by itself.

The screen went off, as if nothing had happened.
