A police car sped to a tower in the suburbs and slowly stopped.

The two police officers quickly got out of the car, and their eyes were simultaneously cast towards the towering tower.

The slightly bloated police officer, affectionately called Lao Zhao by his colleagues, frowned and muttered in confusion:

"Old Li, an alarm sounded in this remote place. This is really strange."

The thin police officer next to him, Lao Li, nodded slightly in agreement:

"Yes, there have been a lot of strange things happening recently. But compared to the neighboring city D, our Hope City is still relatively peaceful."

Lao Zhao continued to analyze: "Yes, although we have so-called 'monsters' appearing here, they seem to be only trying to steal money and have no intention of hurting anyone."

Lao Li added: "The supernatural beasts in City D are different. There are so many of them, and every time they appear, they are there to hurt people. In comparison, the situation here is still under control."

Old Zhao shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:

"Although what Lao Li said is true, at least D City has the Armored Warriors guarding it. There are quite a few of them, and they can always deal with the threats of the mutant beasts in time. And we hope that the city... Alas, it would be great if we could also have such heroes guarding it!"

At this point, a trace of admiration and yearning appeared on Lao Zhao's face, as if he had already outlined the images of those brave and fearless armored warriors in his mind.

City D is adjacent to Hope City, and the flow of information between the two places is relatively frequent.

Although there are no rumors of supernatural beasts and Armor Heroes in Hope City as frequently as in D City, the citizens have still heard about the situation in D City.

"You're right." After thinking for a while, Lao Li nodded and agreed with Lao Zhao's point of view.

They all knew in their hearts that if there were Armor Heroes in Hope City, then the monster from yesterday would have been no problem at all.

"Don't waste time, we have to go in and take a look." Lao Zhao decided not to delay any longer. He felt that this place had a gloomy atmosphere and wanted to complete the inspection as soon as possible and then leave.

The two pushed open the door of the tower and walked in. However, the scene before them surprised them.

The interior of the tower is filled with countless stone statues. These statues are in human form, but they look like monsters. They look scary, evil, dark, and chilling.

Lao Zhao and Lao Li stood at the door and observed for a while, but found that there was no movement inside. However, they were already trembling with fear from the stone statues and did not dare to go any deeper.

"This place is too weird, let's go." Lao Zhao decided to leave decisively. They quickly closed the door of the leaning tower, returned to the police car, and quickly left this haunted place.

Back in the car, both of them were silent, their hearts filled with confusion and fear.

They didn't know the origin of these stone statues, nor did they know what secrets this leaning tower hid. But they knew that they must never come to this place again.

……

"Huh!" Li Haotian stopped the car, took a deep breath, and prepared to take a short break at noon.

He successfully completed his boss's request in the morning, so he could continue to work until noon. Otherwise, according to his boss's strict standards, he would probably have been unemployed.

However, just as he was about to relax for a moment, his cell phone rang again.

Li Haotian's heart tightened, and he had a feeling that it might be another call from his boss. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was indeed his boss' call.

Although he was very reluctant, Li Haotian still answered the phone.

He knew very well the consequences of not answering the phone, so he had no choice but to deal with it.

"I'm telling you!" The boss's voice was filled with anger on the other end of the phone.

"I just received a complaint against you!"

Li Haotian was about to explain, but the boss didn't give him a chance.

"Don't waste your time talking to me!!!" the boss continued to roar.

"I don't care where you are or what you are doing!!! Now! Immediately! Go and deliver the package to Huan Huan Teppanyaki!!!"

Faced with the boss's roar, Li Haotian sighed helplessly.

He knew he had no choice but to obey orders.

"I see." Li Haotian responded and then hung up the phone. He shook his head helplessly, started the motorcycle, and drove towards Huanhuan Teppanyaki.

Although he was full of dissatisfaction and helplessness, he chose to accept the reality and continue his work.

......

Li Haotian arrived at Huan Huan Teppanyaki and stopped the car. He found that the barbecue restaurant was not far ahead. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo as a work record.

Then he picked up a letter and walked towards the barbecue restaurant.

When he was about to enter the store, a man who was rubbing his waist, Jiang Zhong, came out of the store. Li Haotian saw this and asked politely:

"Excuse me, are you the owner of this barbecue restaurant?"

Jiang Zhong looked back at the store and replied, "I'm not the boss, I'm Jiang Zhong. But Yang Huanying is, I'll go call her right away."

After that, Jiang Zhong shouted into the store: "Welcome, someone is looking for you."

After a while, a woman named Yang Huanying came out of the store. She looked at Li Haotian and asked in confusion: "I'm Yang Huanying, who are you?"

Li Haotian handed over the letter with a smile: "I'm the courier, this is your package, please sign for it."

Yang Huanying took the letter, confirmed it was correct and signed for it.

But, when Li Haotian left.

Looking at his back, Jiang Zhong frowned slightly.

"Li Haotian!?"

Yang Huanying also felt this. She looked at Li Haotian's back and felt a little confused.

"Why does this person...feel weird?" Yang Huanying muttered to himself.

She tried to find out what was wrong with Li Haotian, but she couldn't tell why.

She shook her head and put the matter aside for the time being.

After all, as the owner of a barbecue restaurant, she has to face all kinds of people and things every day. Maybe this is just an illusion of hers.
