C23 (1/2)

Looking at my grandfather's messy bedroom, I felt pain and anger, my heart was so sinister that it made me want to go berserk. No matter what, I didn't expect that someone would come to my grandfather's room to steal from him on his death.

However, Grandpa was a thrifty man. There was nothing valuable in the room. Other than the bedding and clothes, there was almost nothing else. The only mysterious thing was the things in the wooden box.

I remembered that when I brought my grandfather home, I immediately left his wooden chest here. However, right now, this box is already completely empty. I originally wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but I never thought that I would have lost it all before even taking a look.

I sat down weakly and looked around, tears streaming down my face.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a hint of bright red in the corner. Walking up to take a look, it turned out to be a wad of bills, with over ten thousand pieces scattered on the ground, wrapped together with the messy bedding.

”How could this be?” I was shocked. So much money and the bedding together, I can't believe that the damn thief didn't see it. Then, why didn't the thief steal the money?

When I thought of this, my heart thumped, and without saying anything further, I started to carefully tidy up the room. I wanted to confirm what I had lost, but after organizing everything, I couldn't help but feel a little dejected, because even I didn't know what was inside my grandfather's room.

However, I am certain that this thief definitely did not come for money, because, when I was packing my grandfather's things, I discovered a jade pendant. I have already seen it once when I was very young, it should be worth some money, but this jade pendant was thrown aside.

But if thieves don't do it for money, then why?

After cleaning up my grandfather's room, I sat in my room in a daze as I thought about this matter carefully. In the end, my gaze fell on my grandfather's wooden chest.

Could it be that the thief was after his grandfather's' Fan Yin '?

I shook my head as I thought about it. I wasn't too sure. Even though my grandfather's Wolf Bristle was valuable, it was so valuable that it would attract the attention of thieves.

Or was it the copper bowl and the compass?

In any case, in my opinion, the copper bowl and compass must be quite old. I don't know if they were worth the money, but if the thief really did want the money, then he shouldn't leave behind the money he just needed to take them, right?

I couldn't figure it out!

”Meow!”

Just at this moment, a light and mournful cat cry sounded by his ear.

I turned my head to look and saw a completely black cat with green eyes sitting beside me. It had emerald eyes that were looking straight at me.

To be honest, I don't like cats, especially black cats, because on our side, black cats are ominous and mournful.

But now that Grandpa is gone, isn't this black cat reporting for funeral? I sat there powerlessly, not in the mood to pay any attention to it, and lowered my head to think about the theft at home.

”Meow!”

Just as I was about to get up and kick the black cat out of my sight, I heard a rustling sound from all around me, as if thousands of bugs were crawling across the ground.

At the same time, the black cat's fur suddenly exploded, its tail standing erect like an antenna. It no longer looked at me, but turned to the other side, its front paws continuously digging into the ground while letting out low growls from time to time, as if it was about to face a great enemy.

I was shocked and instinctively looked back.

However, it was fine if she didn't look at it. When she saw me, she was immediately startled.

This sound was like the tidewater flowing. It was not the sound of insects crawling, but the sound of countless strange snakes.

These snakes were pitch-black in color and did not have the slightest bit of luster. They stuck to the ground like shadows. Their two soybean-like eyes emitted an evil light that made my scalp go numb. My entire body felt cold and I found it difficult to breathe.

More importantly, there isn't just one of these strange snakes. There are countless of them densely packed on the ground, surrounding me and the black cat like a tidal wave. In just a short moment, they formed a circle less than two meters in length.
