The old data room has been dusty for a long time and is located at the end of the third floor of the old office building. It is said that what is stored in it are valuable treasures, some say it is the county records passed down from generation to generation, some say it is the treasure map left behind by ancient noblemen, some say it is the long-lost secret manuals of martial arts. Although the more the rumor is evil, if those individual treasures circulated to the market, will cause a violent storm, but it is true.

The rumors of the data room have been attracting many people in the industry, from far and wide to come from all directions, to witness the appearance of the legendary treasure, but without exception were dedicated gatekeepers blocked at the door, even the treasure of the treasure cover did not see.

If a road intersection with a "No Passing" sign, then there must be someone to break the rules and choose "I want to pass".

A Tao and A Qi are such people.

Both of them are history lovers who like to watch cultural relics, the country's major museums have been able to close their eyes to draw down the exhibits, foreign cultural relics dare not say all, but the visibility of the top-ranking has also visited. That is to say, the heritage that can be visited as a "tourist" section, has reached its limit.

As the two do not have the expertise in archaeology, directly to dig out the artifacts or something, they have self-awareness, so they will target, and lock in those who can not easily show the artifacts, such as in the restoration of research, such as a private collection of artifacts, such as the existence of artifacts in this old data room.

At night, even the most overtime-loving laborers have left work, and the entire office building is left with only the janitor, as well as two uninvited guests.

A Tao surveyed the building itself as "old", some doubts asked: "here, really have the legendary level of treasure?"

While observing the route of advancement, A Qi responded, "I don't know, anyway, the forum says this is the place."

"Then in case we pounce, isn't it a waste of effort?"

"Isn't that how we all came all the way here. According to you, if we spend the wasted time and work part-time, we will live a well-off life." A Qi seems to have a strong interest in this adventure, "Anyway, I think, even if you do not get anything in the end, but enjoy the whole process, is not also quite good?"

"Hmph, what good words have let you finish alone." A Tao does not have the optimistic spirit of his companion, but since he has come, he can only accompany.

According to the plan, the first cut off the takeout ordered by the doorman, and added a bit of material to it, enough for him to pull the amount he could pull in three days, all at once. As expected, the dry and thin old man, with a faster pace than usual, ran towards the toilet.

Next, it was time for the unscrupulous two to visit at will. Because they came early to step on the spot, they can be in the middle of the night without turning on the lights, straight to the data room. I don't know if it's because of high expectations, even with the dust flying in the air, there is a sense of history.

The legendary data room is unusual, like entering a heritage supermarket, with a wide range of artifacts randomly piled up together. But for the two people with high eyesight, most of the things could not yet enter their eyes. But soon they found the object that was enough to make a declaration of "not a bad trip".

It was a scroll that exuded an aura of "I am a national cultural relic" that made people want to look at it from afar but also want to play with it.

A Qi made a wink, and A Tao immediately understood. The two men skillfully put on gloves, as if untie the girl's lapel, and gently untie the rope on the scroll.

"I heard that there is a treasure map here, could this be it?" A Qi fantasized as he unrolled the scroll.

Ah, Tao scoffed, "You guy, just think of taking risks. Maybe it's a secret book, the kind that can make people immortal."

"Come on, it's even less reliable than mine. Hey, hey, maybe it's-"

"Good for Kang!"

"Still you know me!"

When the scroll was fully unfolded, there was nothing in it that the two fantasized about, not even a little bit of dip. There are only some unreadable symbols on the scroll, formed by the formation. In the two "what are you looking at me, I do not understand" when the formation suddenly emitted light, and when the light dispersed, a huge figure appeared in front of the two.

Now both of them understood that they had inadvertently broken the seal on the scroll and released something extraordinary.

The demon looked around, then locked his gaze on the two men and opened his mouth to ask, "You are new here?"

New indeed, but even more so illegally.

Thinking that maybe things weren't as serious as they seemed, Azi took a chance and asked, "Next, are we allowed to make a wish?"

"Yes, no problem." The demon looked like he was holding back a laugh, "Say, how do you want to die?"

A Tao immediately fell to his knees and cried, "I don't want to die yet!"

The demon kindly laughed, "I don't have the means to make you immortal."

Just as the devil was thinking about how to torture the two unlucky people in front of him, a sound suddenly came, the sound of the toilet flushing, the sound itself was nothing special, but it had the effect of silencing the whole building.

Then came the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. It was the janitor, wearing a white sweatshirt and baggy beach pants, stepping on flip-flops and hunching over, who was walking step by step towards the data room.

At this point, the devil's eyes changed, and the man who was unbearable just a moment ago was now nervous. He looked at the two people kneeling on the floor, and opened his mouth to ask something, but was too afraid of a certain answer to ask.

"Click," the door of the data room was opened, and the grandfather looked toward the room, finally staring at the demon with lazy eyes.

The demon winced and hurriedly greeted the grandfather: "Your old man is still on the front line?"

The Grand Master ignored the demon's greeting and asked indifferently, "What are you doing out here?"

The demon was speechless for a moment, then suddenly pointed at Ah Qi and Ah Tao and sniped, "These two guys, sneaking into the data room, don't know what to do. I saw that you have not appeared, afraid that they stole something, so I came out!"

The grand master nodded and said, "Okay, you go."

As soon as the Moncler outlet store words fell, the demon was like stepping into a ghostly foot retracted, a slip of smoke back into the reel, and put the rope properly tied.

As if just to send away a sales of health care products, Moncler outlet breeze to the two young people and said, "You two also go."

Understanding that they have recovered life, A Qi and A Tao hastily thanked the grandfather and then scampered away with their heads. But the threat of death is lifted, and the restless heart jumped up again, looking back on the previous experience, but also feeling "this trip is worth it"!
