Chapter 48 The Orphanage

The urban area where silver players gathered was still lively. Lin Qiao sat by the window, watching the pedestrians coming and going downstairs without saying a word.

squeak-

The door of his room was pushed open, and someone walked in, it was Fu Mian.

"Let's have something to eat,"

Fu Mian walked to the window, put one hand on Lin Qiao's shoulder, "Don't be hungry."

Lin Qiao responded, and when he turned around, he saw Fu Mian put several dishes on the table and served him another bowl of rice.

Those dishes were all to his taste, Lin Qiao froze for a moment, and looked at Fu Mian.

"I did it,"

Fu Mian said, "I think you might like these."

He pulled Lin Qiao to the table and sat down, and brought him some food.

Lin Qiao ate silently, and after a while asked, "How is Yi Yuan?"

"She's in the attic."

Fu Mian said, "There are Mu Jing's things there, she will go and have a look when she is in a bad mood."

Lin Qiao said, "Mu Jing?"

"It's the person she liked before."

Lin Qiao nodded, and asked a few seconds later, "Were they together before?"

"No, Yi Yuan is unrequited love."

Fu Mian said, "Before she had time to confess, Mu Jing met with misfortune."

Lin Qiao didn't speak, and silently swallowed a mouthful of rice.

Fu Mian saw that Lin Qiao was in a bad mood, so she kept changing topics while chatting with him.Lin Qiao listened to the man's words and slowly finished half a bowl of rice.

"I do not want it."

"Just eat this little?"

Fu Mian said, "Eat more."

Lin Qiao: "No."

Fu Mian picked up the bowl and wanted to feed it to him directly, but Lin Qiao turned his face away and suddenly covered his eyes.

"what happened?"

Seeing the young man's painful expression, Fu Mian immediately put down the bowl and got up to check on him.

Lin Qiao frowned as if his eyes had been sharply pierced by a needle. After a while, he said, "My eyes hurt...it's fine now."

"Did something go in?"

Fu Mian said, "Let me see."

Lin Qiao moved his hand away, his eyes were red and watery.Fu Mian observed for a few seconds and found nothing unusual, so she kissed his eyelashes and said, "There seems to be no problem, does it still hurt now?"

"It just hurts a little bit,"

Lin Qiao said, "It may have been splashed with oil...I don't want to eat."

"Okay, okay, don't eat if you don't eat."

Fu Mian smiled slightly, and wanted to pinch the young man's face, but was avoided by the other party.

Lin Qiao said: "I want to go to the next world quickly."

He paused, and then said: "In case Xiao Keai can be found..."

Lin Qiao didn't say the remaining half of the sentence, because he himself felt that there was little hope.

Fu Mian didn't say anything, just said: "Okay, let's go together."

Lin Qiao looked at him, and stretched out his hand without saying a word.

Fu Mian pursed her lips, held his hand, pulled him into her arms, and kissed him on the lips.

-

The light in the attic was dim, and Yi Yuan sat with her knees hugged, looking at a heavy diary in front of her.

The cover of the diary is dusty and has not been opened since the death of its owner.Yi Yuan reached out her hand several times to touch the diary, but retracted it again.

Time passed little by little, and finally, Yi Yuan sat up straight and took the diary in her hand.

A page of the diary was opened, and the white paper turned yellow. Yi Yuan couldn't help crying when she saw the familiar handwriting.

She covered her mouth and slowly turned the diary backwards.Every bit of daily life recorded in the diary is in her eyes, but what she wants to see more is what happened to that person before the accident.

Not long after, the diary stopped on one page, and Yi Yuan was slightly taken aback.

[9.6, sunny]

[I may have fallen in love with someone. 】

These words pierced her eyes like needles, Yi Yuan gritted her teeth, her eyes were slightly red.

【He is a very reliable person. Although he is young, he always manages with ease, as if everything is under his control. 】

[I looked at him, as if I saw a light. 】

"Go to your light,"

Yi Yuan whispered, "Fortunately, I didn't confess to you back then."

[11.2, overcast]

[I met him again, great.He said that he is only a bronze player, I am really worried about whether he can go on in the future, I want to help him. 】

[12.13, light rain]

【He's improving really fast, and he's stronger than the players at the same stage. It seems that he's strong enough to stand alone without me noticing. 】

[Speaking of which, when I just met him, he was also very reliable. 】

Without saying a word, Yi Yuan turned a few pages back.

[2.21, heavy rain]

[He seems to hide many layers of masks, whoever is around him, what kind of mask he will wear... But I hope I am the special one. 】

Yi Yuan paused when she turned the pages. She read the diary carefully before turning a page.

—The back is blank.

"..."

Yi Yuan frowned slightly, and she turned a few pages in succession, but all she saw was blank.

"It shouldn't be,"

Yi Yuan murmured, "Obviously that day is November..."

She was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly turned to the last page of the diary.There, she saw the familiar handwriting again.

[11.11, sunny]

【He's a devil... no, he's a god. 】

——The diary is here, and it is completely over.

"..."

Yi Yuan frowned, she tried her best to figure out something from this short line of words, but she soon found that she couldn't see anything.

Da da da--

There were footsteps approaching outside, Yi Yuan closed the diary, looked up and saw Lin Qiao appearing in front of her.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Qiao looked at the diary in her hand and said, "This is it?"

"It's Mu Jing's diary,"

Yi Yuan didn't hide anything, "I'm here to have a look, how about you?"

"I came to you,"

Lin Qiao said, "I'll go to the next world later to see if I can meet Xiao Keai."

Yi Yuan said, "Are you with the boss?"

Lin Qiao nodded.

"There is no reason why people who have never died can meet again..."

Yi Yuan smiled lightly and said, "I'll go with you."

This was the expected answer, Lin Qiao said: "Then you clean up, we will see you later."

Yi Yuan nodded and watched Lin Qiao leave.

The attic was deserted again, Yi Yuan looked at the diary in her hand, her mind was slightly distracted.

She wanted to recall the appearance of the owner of the diary, but time had already washed away that person's face. No matter how hard she tried, all she could remember was the way Xiao Keai, who was completely different from that person, smiled at her in front of the amusement park.

The young man's smile was clean and pure, but at that moment she felt an inexplicable shock... just like the trembling and despair when she learned of Mu Jing's death many years ago.

"...you bastard,"

Yi Yuan touched the cover of the diary and said in a low voice, "I declare that I don't like you anymore."

Then she put down the diary and walked out of the attic without looking back.

-

It was dark, and a train stopped at the platform.Before Lin Qiao got close, he heard a burst of beating and cursing.

"What the hell are you, you dare to contradict me?!"

At the entrance of the train, a burly man was punching and kicking a young man. The young man was covered with bruises, and he hugged his head tightly, without saying a word.

"Don't think it's great to survive! I'm going to become a silver player, you—"

As the strong man said, he wanted to punch the young man on the head again. Lin Qiao looked at the pale young man who was about the same age as Xiao Keai, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to grab the strong man's wrist.

The strong man only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, he turned his head with a loud cry, and saw that it was only a slender young man who grabbed him, and immediately said angrily: "What are you——"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Fu Mian next to Lin Qiao, and he was taken aback, with a frightened look on his face—then ran away without looking back.

"..."

Lin Qiao said, "He seems to be very afraid of you."

Fu Mian said lightly, "I don't recognize him."

"I remember his name is Xu Chang,"

Yi Yuan said, "In one world, the boss just happened to kill a predator, and was scared out of his wits, and has been avoiding the boss since then."

Lin Qiao looked at Fu Mian and said, "It sounds like you were scary before."

Fu Mian: "No way, look how kind I am to you."

Yi Yuan: "..."

At this time, the boy had slowly got up from the ground. He looked towards Lin Qiao and Fu Mian, said "Thank you" in a low voice, and then limped into the train.

As long as you get on the train, the player's injuries will heal on their own.The bruises on the boy's body disappeared quickly. He sat silently in the corner, peeked out the window secretly, and found that Lin Qiao and the others had disappeared.

The boy withdrew his gaze in disappointment, nestled in his seat and fell asleep.

woo-

The train traveled for a day and a night, and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

There is a tall building halfway up the mountain, hidden among the mountains and forests, with only a corner exposed.Lin Qiao looked around at the foot of the mountain, and found that besides them, there were five other players—the strong man named Xu Chang and the boy he bullied were also among them.

Fu Mian suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It smells like a predator."

Yi Yuan was taken aback, Lin Qiao looked at him and said, "Who is it?"

"It's hidden too deep, and I can't find it for the time being."

Fu Mian said, "Be careful first, if he wants to kill someone, he will show his feet."

Lin Qiao nodded, and followed him to the building halfway up the mountain.

It was about two or three hours' journey from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain. Before they got close to the building, they heard a burst of children's laughter.

Lin Qiao looked up and saw a sign hanging in front of the castle-like building - Ilya Orphanage.

There was already a person standing in front of the orphanage, it was an elegant middle-aged man, he wore a monocle, and smiled slightly at everyone: "Welcome to come here as volunteers of the orphanage, I am the director Andrew, please join me Come."

"We are here to do missions, who is going to be a volunteer..."

Someone muttered something in a low voice, but Andrew didn't hear it.He smiled and led everyone into the orphanage, bypassed the front hall, and went straight to the backyard.

There were seven children playing in the backyard. Andrew called one of the children and introduced to everyone: "This is little A. He will be adopted tomorrow. This is the last day he will stay here."

Little A stared at everyone with his round eyes for a while, then quickly ran back to play with other children.

"So cute,"

A girl named Zhang Lili asked, "Are there seven children here?"

"Yes, there were more than 20 before, but they were all adopted."

The dean smiled and said, "The children here are all lucky, and they are very attractive."

He clapped his hands and walked towards the seven children: "It's time to eat, let's go, let's take the guests to the restaurant."

The dining room is spacious and the tables and chairs are neatly tidied up.The fat cook served delicious dishes, and the seven children sat in a row, eating quietly and obediently.

"Sister, look at them, they are really good."

Zhang Lili excitedly grabbed her sister Zhang Aiai and said, "I want to pinch their faces."

Zhang Ai'ai said: "You have to be careful, don't get too close to them, you might die at any time."

"But they're really cute..."

Only the two sisters were chatting at the dinner table. Lin Qiao listened, and suddenly heard a different cry amidst their conversation.

"Ugh..."

He was slightly taken aback, and when he looked around, he saw a child standing at the door of the restaurant, crying with his head bowed.

Fu Mian said, "What are you looking for?"

"There's a baby crying over there,"

Lin Qiao said, "Who is he?"

"..."

As soon as he said this, Fu Mian was silent for a while.

Lin Qiao: "What's wrong?"

Fu Mian said, "Where is that child?"

Lin Qiao pointed to the door of the restaurant and said in a low voice, "It's right next to the door, still crying."

Fu Mian looked over there, and said in a low voice, "Honey, I didn't see anything."

"—there's no one there at all."
