escape death game

A pale face squeezed hard in the crack of the door, squeezed hard... and finally managed to squeeze in.

Lin Qiao: "..."

The child who managed to squeeze in stood by the bed, staring at Lin Qiao with a gloomy expression, and his eyes were terribly dark.

Lin Qiao said, "What are you doing here?"

"..."

The child didn't answer, but turned around and walked out the door.Fu Mian beside Lin Qiao sat up and said, "He's here?"

Lin Qiao nodded and said, "He wants us to follow."

There are no lights in the corridor, only darkness.The figure of the child melted into the darkness and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"and many more--"

Just as Lin Qiao was about to tell him to slow down, he saw a beam of light shoot out—it was the golden cufflinks on his sleeve.

The light from the cufflinks illuminated the road ahead for them. Through this light, Lin Qiao saw that the child had reached the corner of the corridor, and he and Fu Mian immediately followed up.

The child passed the dining room, bypassed the stairs, and finally stopped by the window of the hall without a sound. The light of Lin Qiao's cufflinks also flickered a few times before disappearing.

Darkness surrounded them again, only the cold moonlight spilled from the huge windows, illuminating the floor brightly.The child looked back at Lin Qiao and Fu Mian, and pointed to the window.

Outside the window was the front yard. Everyone should be asleep at this time, but there was a carriage parked in the dark courtyard, and there were a few people standing beside the carriage, as if they were talking about something.

Lin Qiao recognized one of them as a nun from the orphanage. She was holding a child in her arms, which was Little B who was supposed to be adopted tomorrow.

The few people had finished talking, and the nun handed the sleeping little B to one of the women.The woman kissed little B on the forehead, and carried him into the carriage.

Rolling rolls——

The wheels ran over the ground, and the carriage quickly drove out of the yard and disappeared into the night.After watching the carriage leave, the nun looked around vigilantly, instead of going through the gate, she went around to the backyard.

There was no one in the courtyard. Lin Qiao, who had witnessed everything just now, frowned slightly, and looked at the child again.

The child stood there in a daze, his eyes still fixed on the direction the carriage was leaving.Suddenly, two lines of liquid flowed from his eyes without warning... not tears, but blood.

Lin Qiao was silent for a few seconds before asking, "What's your name?"

The child opened his mouth silently, his mouth was empty, missing an organ that should have been there.

Lin Qiao frowned slightly, and saw the child make a hand gesture with him again, which seemed to be an "X".

"Little X?"

Lin Qiao remembered the way the children were named here, and called the child accordingly, but the child did not respond silently, as if he did not deny it.

Fu Mian said: "Is there anything special about him?"

Lin Qiao thought for a while, lowered his head and lifted Xiao X's pendant lightly, and said, "Can I have a look?"

Little X nodded silently, and Lin Qiao opened the photo frame on the top of the pendant.Embedded in the photo frame is a small photo of two children hugging each other.

Lin Qiao said: "This is..."

In the next second, the photo frame in his hand disappeared.When I looked up again, I found that Xiao X had suddenly disappeared.

"..."

Fu Mian observed Lin Qiao's expression and asked, "Did he leave?"

Lin Qiao said: "Yes, he left just as soon as I got his photo frame."

"That may be someone coming,"

Fu Mian said, "Let's go back first, so as not to be discovered."

Lin Qiao didn't have any objections, and was held by Fu Mian as he walked forward.He was thinking about Xiao X all the way, and told Fu Mian what he knew.

"If this little X is the twin from that year, then the truth may not be what the cook said."

Fu Mian analyzed, "Being adopted is not a good thing. One of the twins may have escaped, and the other one died."

Lin Qiao said: "It's possible, but I don't know if he is a younger brother or an older brother."

They walked towards the room, and when they were about to reach the corridor, Fu Mian suddenly grabbed Lin Qiao and said in a deep voice, "Look over there."

Lin Qiao immediately stopped, raised his head, and was slightly startled.

At some point in the dark corridor, there was another person, a woman, standing in front of the room with her head bowed, her hair disheveled, without saying a word.

"..."

The atmosphere fell into silence, Fu Mian and Lin Qiao did not rush forward, but looked at the woman from a distance.

The woman moved suddenly, she stretched out her hand to part her hair, revealing an expressionless face underneath...it was Yi Yuan.

"good evening."

Fu Mian and Lin Qiao: "..."

"I'm going to the bathroom,"

Yi Yuan said without any embarrassment, "But you didn't accompany me, boss, can you accompany me?"

Of course it is not safe to go to the toilet alone here, so Fu Mian and Lin Qiao had no choice but to accompany her there.

Yi Yuan walked in front with her hair down, turned her head and asked Fu Mian, "Boss, why did you come out in the middle of the night?"

Fu Mian did not hide anything and told her what happened just now.Yi Yuan was taken aback when she heard Yin Yang Eye, looked at Lin Qiao, and said, "Then... is this ghost child from the orphanage?"

Lin Qiaodao: "It should be, but his identity is not sure yet."

"If a child is sent away here every day, then it will be Little C's turn tomorrow."

Yi Yuan frowned and said, "I quite like that kid, he is the most obedient, can you stop these people?"

Lin Qiao said: "If you don't stop it, the rest of the children will suffer."

They came to the toilet on the first floor, Yi Yuan went in to use the toilet, Lin Qiao and Fu Mian waited outside.After a while, Yi Yuan came out again, and the three went back to their respective rooms.

One night passed, and the orphanage really lost a child the next day.The remaining five children sat together and finished breakfast. The dean found Lin Qiao and gave him a key.

"The archives are on the second floor, you can go there anytime."

The dean said, "But I will assign work after breakfast, please."

Lin Qiao said: "Thank you. By the way, is little B gone?"

The dean sighed, and said, "He was taken away by his adoptive parents last night, and I only found out this morning."

After he finished speaking, he left. Lin Qiao looked at his back and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"that……"

At the dining table, Zhang Lili whispered, "Did you hear anything yesterday?"

"I heard,"

Gu Fengdao, "It seems that someone is walking around, but it sounds very strange."

He looked at Lin Qiao next to him, fell silent for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Lin Qiao, I'm a little scared, can I move to your place..."

Lin Qiao glanced at him and said, "Don't ask me, ask him."

That "he" refers to Fu Mian, and Gu Feng was scared when he saw Fu Mian, and he shrank his head and dared not say a word.

He stopped talking, Cai Xi, who had been living with him all this time, was not happy, and opened his mouth and said, "What do you mean, you still despise me? Said you want to move out in front of me??"

"I did not mean that,"

Gu Feng said weakly, "It's just safer if more people gather together..."

Cai Xi sneered and said, "Forget it, you clearly want to hug your thighs, why are you talking so nicely?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Zhang Lili hurriedly said: "Stop talking, let's have dinner, we still have work after dinner."

Cai Xi glared at Gu Feng, and continued to eat his breakfast.

After breakfast, the dean assigned them the same tasks as yesterday. This time, Lin Qiao and Fu Mian took care of the five children, Yi Yuan went to the kitchen, Gu Feng cleaned the hall, and Cai Xi went to the utility room to tidy up the sundries.

Cai Xi became displeased when he saw the tasks he had assigned, and said, "Why do they all take it easy, and I have so much to do?"

"There's not much stuff in the utility room,"

Gu Fengdao, who went to tidy up the sundries yesterday, "As long as they are arranged in order, it can be done in one go."

Cai Xi snorted: "Really."

Although he was not very satisfied, he still had to do it. After complaining a few words, he went to the utility room.

The utility room is near the backyard. There is a big tree outside, and the shade of the tree just covers the windows tightly, preventing any light from passing through.

"What the hell..."

Cai Xi grumbled as soon as he came in, but seeing that there were really not many sundries to sort out, he became a little satisfied.

There were several cabinets in the utility room, some full and some empty.Cai Xi picked up some sundries scattered on the ground and stuffed them into empty cabinets, repeating this process. In just over ten minutes, he almost emptied the things on the ground.

"call--"

Cai Xi straightened his waist and let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that that kid Gu Feng didn't lie to him, the work here is really easy.

Thinking of this, he saw that there was another box in the corner, but he hadn't noticed it just now, and almost leaked it.

Cai Xi walked over there, the box was sandwiched between two tall cabinets, he had to squeeze in to get it.

"What the hell, why are these two cabinets so crowded?"

Cai Xi frowned and complained, bending down with difficulty, trying to lift the box up.

However, the box looked like a small wooden box, but it was surprisingly heavy.As soon as Cai Xi moved it, he couldn't move it, and he was immediately surprised.

"Why is it so heavy?"

He tried to move it a few more times, but still couldn't move it. Curious, he wanted to open the box and have a look.

The wooden box was unlocked and could be opened easily.But when Cai Xi opened it, he was taken aback again, because it was empty and there was nothing there.

The surprise in his heart expanded a bit, and he looked around, the utility room was dim, and there was no one else except him.

"...Forget it, I'm still going."

Cai Xi panicked inexplicably. He was about to close the box and leave here, but before he stretched out his hand, he heard a "click"——

Something fell from above and into the box.

Cai Xi lowered his head and saw the contents of the box clearly.

"what!"

He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, his eyes widened, and he stared at the box in shock—there was a pair of bloody eyeballs.

Tick, tick.

Blood slid down the cabinet and dripped to the floor.Cai Xi looked at the blood in horror, and slowly looked up...

A child sat on top of the cabinet, his head lowered, revealing empty eyes.

-

"Hahaha--"

In the courtyard, several children were happily gathering together to play, and only one child squatted beside him alone, holding his face in his hands and not saying a word.

Lin Qiao walked in front of him, squatted down and looked at him level, and said, "Why don't you go and play?"

"Don't want to play,"

The child shook his head, and said in a milky voice, "Little B is gone, no one will play with me anymore."

Lin Qiao said, "Are you Little C?"

Little C nodded and looked at Lin Qiao again.

The child's eyes are big, clear and clean.Lin Qiao looked at him for a few seconds and squeezed his little face.

"Let me play with you,"

Lin Qiao said, "But you have to tell me something first."

Little C's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "What does Big Brother want to ask?"

Lin Qiaodao: "How did you all get adopted?"

Little C stared blankly at him: "What is adoption?"

Lin Qiao was silent for a few seconds, and said, "How did little B get away?"

"that is……"

Little C tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Uncle Dean called him into his room last night, and left today."

"in the room?"

Lin Qiao's tone was slightly cold, "Does every child have to go to the dean's room before leaving?"

"Yes,"

Little C said, "Uncle will give us sweets and treat us very well, so we are going to say goodbye to him."

After he finished speaking, he wrinkled his face again, and said, "But I should leave tomorrow, and I don't want to leave."

Lin Qiao touched Little C's head, and slowly frowned.

He said: "Then you..."

"What are you talking about?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind Lin Qiao.

He turned his head immediately and saw the dean coming over with a smile, and said, "I want to hear it too, tell me too."
