Let the system try to save the world

"What, this is impossible..." Xitong subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he lowered his head, he saw traces of paint on Gu Yugui's body.

"I just finished an art class with the kids." Gu Yugui flicked the paint on his white shirt nonchalantly. "It doesn't matter. The paint will disappear soon anyway."

"So this is what the ban means." Xitong understood.

"what do you mean?"

"Nostalgia is empty and I just recite poems after hearing the flute. When I return to my hometown, I feel like a person who has lost himself in the past." Xitong did not say directly, "Have you heard this poem before?"

"I've heard of it." Gu Yugui said, "Have you also watched the gods play chess?"

"I did see the God of Time, but He seemed to have lost something." Xitong did not comment. "Are there any other prohibitions in the orphanage?"

"No nighttime travel is allowed." Gu Yugui said mysteriously, "Because there are monsters that eat children at night."

"This doesn't count."

"Huh...? Does it mean we are not allowed to pluck the flowers in front of the dormitory building?" Gu Yugui pointed to a dry bush in the distance, where a few empty fertilizer bags were thrown. "But those flowers have already died, so it should be okay to pluck them."

"Well, so we have to find a way to get them open again." Xitong smiled, "Then..."

"Pull out the flowers."

"Come with me." Gu Yugui brought Xitong back to a dormitory. "It's unclear what the enemy and us are now. Let's rest in my dormitory first."

"Do you live alone?" Xitong observed the layout of the room. Gu Yugui's bed was in a corner of the room, and there was a row of cribs under the other wall.

"Well, there were some younger children before." Gu Yugui helped Xitong put several cribs side by side, "but since the director left, no new children have been sent here. There are only older children around my age now."

"They really trust you." Xitong said casually. He lay down in the crib with his clothes on. He pointed at the poster on the wall and asked, "Huh? What is that?"

The poster on the wall was a two-headed cartoon character with white hair and a green battle suit, riding on an even more cartoonish horse.

"Vampire Knight, didn't you watch it when you were a kid?" Gu Yugui took out two steamed buns wrapped in toilet paper, still warm from his clothes, "Here, I'll give them to you. I see you haven't eaten much all day."

"Thank you." Xitong didn't care whether it was clean or not. He swallowed the colorful buns made into little rabbits and little bears in two bites.

"Speaking of which." Xitong swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun, "If time could flow backwards, would these foods be..."

"Don't say anything." Gu Yugui turned his back, "I want to sleep."

"The nutrients we digest come from..."

"Just shut up. Kids need ten hours of sleep."

"What kind of monster comes out at night?" Xitong had to ask.

"Today... it should be the green person." Gu Yugui thought for a moment, "Don't even think about touching that person, you'll fall asleep soon."

"I'll wait a moment." Xitong shook his head. He sat cross-legged on the bed. The spiritual energy here was even more dense than that outside. He wondered if it was because of the presence of the dragon.

Gu Yugui did not try to persuade Xitong anymore. He covered himself with the small floral quilt from the orphanage, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

The sun quickly set in the east. The scenery was wonderful. If Xitong was outside, he would definitely take a few more glances at it, but he was not in the mood for that.

Just as Gu Yugui said, Xitong didn't even have time to resist before an irresistible sleepiness took over his brain. He lost control of his body and fell on the bed.

Xitong was woken up by the noise. Someone in the corridor was banging a gong or some similar instrument, driving all the children who were still wandering outside back to their dormitories.

Xitong touched his heart which was aching from being awakened suddenly. He looked at Gu Yugui, who was also sleepy and had messy hair, and asked him what happened with his eyes.

Gu Yugui rubbed his eyes. His newly awakened brain was still not working. He thought for a while before saying, "Today is adoption day."

"That doesn't make sense." Xitong asked, "If time goes back, what happens to the extra children? Are they sent back by their parents?"

"No one can leave here." Gu Yugui had a strange expression on his face, and his voice gradually became lower. "Or rather, only... can leave."

The teachers at the orphanage checked the number of people who should be in the dormitory one by one. Xitong waited until the two little buns in his stomach were completely digested before it was his and Gu Yugui's turn to go to the dormitory.

Xitong jumped out of the window gently when the teacher pushed the door. He hung on the windowsill by his arms, looking at the sand in front of the orphanage with boredom while waiting for the inspection to be over.

Something seemed to have changed in the sand compared to before. When everyone was locked in the dormitory, Xitong actually saw a figure outside.

Shen Fuguang was holding his signature sharp sword, and he was wasting it by digging the dirt pile under the corner with the sword, which had a sharp blade.

The color of that mound is different from the surrounding area, and its tone is darker than the loess.

No, Xitong stepped on that piece of land yesterday. The soil there was no different from the surrounding ones, it was also the common yellow soil.

It's that mound of earth that's leaking water.

"Gu Yugui, why are the windows open? It's not time to leave the windows open all night yet."

"Teacher, I can turn it off myself." Gu Yugui deliberately said loudly, "I want to get some fresh air for a while."

This is really terrible. There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and we are in a dilemma.

Is it better to have a fierce battle with Shen Fuguang who is holding a sword or let the teacher find out that there is an extra person in Gu Yugui's room?

Xitong gave an ugly smile, he let go of his hand, and swung upside down into the room on the first floor of the dormitory.

Fortunately, there was no one in the dormitory downstairs, the lights were off, and there was only a strong smell of dampness and dust.

The furniture and cribs in the room were covered with plastic sheets, and toys and other small items were packed in boxes.

Was this child adopted? Xitong groped his way to the only table in the room. He squatted down and took out a cartoon code book from the box. On it was a picture of a popular Vampire Knight cartoon character.

Xitong didn't have to spend much effort. He easily opened the code book by judging the wear and tear of the keys.

Most of the notebook was blank. Xitong turned to the last page. He urgently needed to know what happened to the owner of the notebook.

There was a large stain on the last piece of paper. Xitong sniffed it gently and found it was dark black blood that had been oxidized.

He turned to the previous page.

"Brother Meng said I'm going to become an angel."

"But I don't want to be an angel. Angels only give gifts to obedient and cute children."

"I always felt that I must have done something wrong, that's why my father didn't want me anymore."

"But Brother Meng told me that this is not the case."

“If someone does something wrong and treats you badly, you should study hard, work hard, and live a better life than him.”

"You must be brave enough to fight back..." The words at the end became messy and unclear because the owner's strength was getting weaker and weaker.

"Will I become a Vampire Knight tomorrow..."
