Seeing that the sun was about to set, Luo Luo stopped letting her imagination run wild. She stood up and checked the equipment on her body. There had been no movement from the museum during this period of time. The thing that she was most worried about did not happen. Her powerful sleeping potion should have taken effect by now. According to her observations over the past few days, in about fifteen minutes, the old man who guarded the entrance would go in to collect the trash, and that would be her best chance.
The girl silently counted the time in her heart. When the old man stood up, she also jumped out of the yard. However, her luck today did not seem to be very good. When she landed, she coincidentally bumped into a young couple who had just finished eating and were taking a stroll. When the two saw the cloaked man descending from the sky, they were instantly shocked. They subconsciously opened their mouths to scream, but in the end, Luo Luo each delivered a karate chop to them.
The girl broke out in a cold sweat. The house she had chosen as her observation point happened to be at the corner of two alleys. She had placed all her attention in the direction of the museum and neglected the two people walking toward her from the other alley. Fortunately, she was fast enough to knock the young couple unconscious without alerting the old man who had already turned his back on them.
Lolo apologized to the old man in her heart. She dragged the unconscious young couple into the yard as fast as she could. When she turned around, the old man was already at the entrance of the museum. He was taking out a key from his pocket, ready to unlock the rusty lock on the door.
The girl did not dare to delay. She bent down and jumped onto the wall opposite the road. After passing through the yard of two households, she used a mango tree as cover to approach the guardhouse. When she landed, she was less than twenty meters away from the old man. Mutt was the first to be alerted.
San Xian was the first to be alerted. When he turned around and saw the girl, he was stunned. Perhaps he had lived a peaceful life for too long, so he did not roar to warn his master. When he realized that something was wrong, the rookie Braveheart was already in front of him. The distance between them was too close, and it was too late for San Xian to warn his master. Luo Luo did not kill him. She watched as the dog opened its mouth and tossed the remaining drops of sleeping potion into its mouth.
Mutt's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground without a sound. On the other side, the old man's reaction was even slower. Even when Mutt fell to the ground, he was still focused on unlocking the door. The girl knocked him unconscious from behind. The key fell from the old man's hand. She grabbed it just before it hit the ground and opened the door to the museum.
A rotten and moldy smell assaulted her. It was different from what she had imagined. The environment in the museum was terrible because no one had taken care of it. It had only been three years, but it was already ruined beyond recognition. There were cobwebs everywhere, and various weapon models were strewn all over the place. It looked like a huge battle had just happened. The wooden floor showed signs of being soaked in water. The rotten smell when she opened the door was most likely from that. It was uninhabitable here. Not to mention a month, even a day would be uninhabitable.
After that, Luo Luo went to the second floor. The situation here wasn't much better than the first floor. There were no signs of people living here. However, the girl didn't give up. Most people who encountered a situation like this couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the information they received. However, Luo Luo noticed a detail.
She realized that something was missing from the abandoned museum. The rookie Hero remembered very clearly that the old man had brought the vegetables and meat he bought from the market into the museum in the afternoon. Now, she had searched the whole museum but could not find the bags of food. In fact, with the terrible environment here, there was no place to store the food. If no one came to pick it up after two minutes after the old man put it down, the food could only be given to the rats and cockroaches in the museum.
Unable to find any useful clues on the second floor, Lolo turned around and went downstairs again. This time, she was extra careful, paying special attention to any hidden secret rooms or cellars under her feet. However, she still found nothing. When she walked to the window, she happened to see an inconspicuous house across the street. An orange kitten that was napping on the balcony caught her attention.
The girl remembered that about five days ago, the old man who guarded the door brought back two kittens from the junkyard. One was orange, and the other was gray. The orange kitten looked a bit like the one on the opposite balcony, but Luo Luo couldn't be sure, because the orange kitten that lived in the junkyard looked dirty. Its fur was all in bunches, and it was as thin as a stick. Now, the orange kitten on the opposite window sill looked cleaner. Its fur had obviously been trimmed, and its belly seemed to be a little rounder.
However, Lolo then noticed that its right hind leg was bandaged. If she remembered correctly, the orange kitten in the junkyard had an inflamed wound in the same position. It seemed to have been inflicted when it fought with other stray cats for food.
This meant that the kitten on the balcony was most likely the one she saw at the junkyard five days ago. Lolo thought for a moment and realized what was going on.
How could the cautious Divine Hall make such a low-level mistake? Letting an old gatekeeper purchase a large amount of daily necessities from the market every day was bound to arouse suspicion in the eyes of those who were observant.
However, the Temple actually didn't have a good way to cover it up. Obviously, these people couldn't show up easily, and their daily consumption in Gudilesi could only be supplied by the old man. In this case, it was almost impossible to make the old man look flawless. Therefore, the Temple simply beat the old man at his own game and drew everyone's attention to this abandoned museum.
Because the old man had been guarding the door of the museum for the past three years, he didn't allow anyone else to enter, and he had to enter the museum every day to deliver food and collect garbage. Therefore, a normal person would definitely think that these people were hiding in the museum, but in fact, their real hiding place was in the residential house behind.
Lolo had just discovered that the back window of the museum was facing the backyard of the residential house. As long as the old man opened the window every time he delivered food, the people in the yard could easily climb over the wall and come in. Naturally, it was the same when he delivered garbage.
