Viscous blood slid down the edge of the sharp axe, and the old man stared at Little C in Lin Qiao's arms with gloomy eyes, unable to detect any emotion.

Fu Mian shielded Lin Qiao with one hand, while Lin Qiao drew out the dagger from his waist and looked at the old man vigilantly.

"..."

After a brief silence, the old man turned around slowly, kicked the head off the ground, and walked towards the distant forest with his back bent.

His figure was quickly covered by the night, and the nun seemed to have finally reacted, and turned around and rushed into the orphanage.

Just now when the old man rushed out and hacked the old couple to death, Lin Qiao covered Little C's eyes. The child only heard the nun's scream, and was so frightened that he curled up into a ball in his arms.Lin Qiao didn't want him to see the tragedy, so he exchanged a glance with Fu Mian, turned around and walked back.

The rest of the orphanage was woken up by the nun, and they were gathering in the lobby at this time.The dean was also among them. He listened to what the nun said expressionlessly, and turned his attention to Lin Qiao and Fu Mian who had just stepped into the gate.

"Since everyone is dead, there is no other way. I will go out later and give them an explanation."

The dean said, "But little C is no longer a member of our orphanage, and someone is taking care of him anyway, isn't it?"

Little C listened in a daze, but hadn't reacted from the words.Lin Qiao patted his thin shoulder, looked at the dean and said, "If you don't do anything, more and more people will die here."

The dean smiled slightly, and said, "You can look for people after they die. It doesn't matter."

After he finished speaking, he whispered something to the nun, and then walked out.

The sound of a carriage came from outside the orphanage. Lin Qiao turned his head and saw the dean loading the bodies of the old couple into the carriage and driving away.

"..."

After the dean left, the nun didn't know where she went.Yi Yuan looked at Little C in Lin Qiao's arms, and said, "Are you all okay?"

"fine,"

Fu Mian said, "I need your help later, go to the archives room to find a file."

By the way, he told everyone what happened just now, Yi Yuan frowned slightly, Zhang Aiai cried out in surprise, and said, "Then...you guys are causing trouble!"

"But I think they're doing the right thing,"

Her younger sister Zhang Lili whispered, "I also want to guard those children, how pitiful they are..."

"How pitiful!"

Zhang Aiai patted her and said, "What are you thinking about, those are NPCs! The most important thing is to save your own life."

Zhang Lili stopped talking, and Yi Yuan asked, "Where is the file room?"

Fu Mian said, "It's on the second floor."

The children's room was not far from the file room, and Lin Qiao didn't send little C back to the room, but let him sit on the stool in the file room, so as not to run around.

There are more than a dozen iron frames standing in the archive room, and each frame is filled with materials.Some of those materials were very new, while others were tattered and yellowed, exuding a musty smell.

Several people divided different areas and rummaged in their respective places.There are so many materials in the archives, and Zhang Aiai became dizzy after reading it for a while, threw the paper in her hand, and complained: "How can I find this!"

"Be patient,"

Zhang Lili comforted, "If we can find the information about the twins, maybe we can leave here earlier."

Zhang Ai'ai said: "That's what I said, but there are so many materials here, just the few of us, we have to step on dog shit to—"

"what!"

Gu Feng next to him suddenly called out.

"I found it!"

Zhang Aiai: "..."

Gu Feng shook the ashes on the paper, spread it out on the table, and said, "Look, the time of these twins matches, but the photos are missing."

It was an old file, which recorded a pair of twins adopted by an orphanage more than ten years ago.However, due to the age, most of the information was eaten by bugs, leaving only a few intermittent records.

There is a photo attached to the file, which is a group photo of two children.The photo was blurry, and the faces of the twins could not be seen clearly, but Lin Qiao still recognized that this was the group photo he saw on Xiao X's pendant.

He said: "It is indeed the twins."

The names of the twins are written next to the photo, but unfortunately the notes are blurred, only their surnames can be seen... It seems to be a "Xiao".

Lin Qiao looked through the file, but there was very little information recorded on it. The last page of the file stated the date they left and the names of the oriental couple who adopted them.

"It's nothing,"

Gu Fengdao, "What should we do, shall we continue to search?"

Lin Qiao didn't speak, he stared at the file thoughtfully.

Fu Mian suddenly asked, "Where's Little C?"

Lin Qiao: "..."

He turned his head and found that Little C, who was sitting on the stool, had disappeared without a sound.

Lin Qiao immediately ran out of the file room, and found that Little C was standing in the corridor, not far away.

The nun was taking a few children in the room downstairs. Little C called "sister" a few times in a childish voice, but got no response.He wanted to go to play with his little friends, but was pushed out by the other kids and fell to the ground.

Lin Qiao walked over, Little C looked left and right, and found that his little friends had all walked away without looking back, their big eyes were filled with tears, and they cried out with a "wow".

Lin Qiao bent down and picked up Little C, patted his back to comfort him.Little C hugged Lin Qiao's shoulder sobbingly. Lin Qiao wiped away his tears and said, "Don't cry."

He glanced downstairs and saw that the dean had returned.The children happily ran to him, and he smiled and stroked the head of one of the children, picked him up, and kissed him on the cheek.

For the next day, Little C was squeezed out by the entire orphanage.At lunch, he wanted to sit back in his seat, but was pushed away by the friend next to him. He could only watch helplessly as his bowl was also taken away, and licked his fingers in hunger.

Lin Qiao hugged little C back to his side, and said, "Why didn't you tell me when you were hungry?"

Little C lowered his head and said nothing, tears rolled in his bright eyes.Lin Qiao knew that he still wanted to be with his little friend, so he didn't say anything, but patted his head and said, "Let's eat."

He sat Little C beside him and fed him his lunch.The child felt a little uncomfortable at first, but then he obediently sat beside Lin Qiao, occasionally looking at his little friends, and lowering his head again.

After lunch, the dean hurriedly left the orphanage again and never came back.It was night soon, and Lin Qiao and Fu Mian were going to sleep with the children just like yesterday. The nun wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak again.

Little C climbed back to his little bed, nestled in the quilt and looked at Lin Qiao. Lin Qiao wrapped the quilt for him and said, "Sleep, I won't go."

Little C nodded and closed his eyes obediently.

Lin Qiao turned his head, and was pulled to his side by a hand, wrapping his arms around his waist.

"Baby, when did you treat me so well?"

Lin Qiao glanced at Fu Mian and said, "I have always been very good to you."

Fu Mian smiled and said, "Yes, it's of course very good to let me kiss and hug you."

He squeezed Lin Qiao's jaw, and leaned over to kiss him again.

Lips and teeth touched, breath entangled, Lin Qiao slightly grabbed the clothes on Fu Mian's shoulders, and said vaguely: "There are others—"

"What are you afraid of?"

Fu Mian said, "They are all asleep, let's keep our voices down, be good."

Just then, the door of the room opened.

Fu Mian: "..."

Lin Qiao: "..."

Yi Yuan, who was the first to come in: "..."

Yi Yuan moved aside to block the sight of the people behind her.Lin Qiao leaned back quickly, keeping distance from Fu Mian.

Fu Mian held Lin Qiao's hand, and said to Yi Yuan, "What are you doing here?"

Yi Yuan looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and said, "Zhang Lili and I also want to guard these children."

Zhang Lili poked her head out behind her, and smiled embarrassedly at the two of them.

Lin Qiao said, "Where are Gu Feng and Zhang Aiai?"

"The two of them don't want to come over and stay in the room together."

As Yi Yuan said, she walked over lightly, "Are the children asleep?"

Lin Qiao nodded, Zhang Lili turned around and closed the door.At this moment, Lin Qiao suddenly saw a huge black shadow flashing across the corridor, and suddenly stood up.

Fu Mian said: "What's wrong?"

"There's something out there!"

Lin Qiao whispered, "I'll go out and have a look."

"I will go with you."

Fu Mian said, "Yi Yuan, you are guarding the children here, and no one can open the door."

Yi Yuan immediately said, "Understood."

Zhang Lili obviously didn't see the black figure, and stood at the door in a daze.Lin Qiao and Fu Mian rushed out, the corridor was empty, Lin Qiao looked around and saw that huge black figure slowly disappearing at the end of the corridor, it seemed to be dragging something.

"there."

Fu Mian said: "I can't see it, it should not be a monster, but a ghost."

Lin Qiao held his hand and ran to the end of the corridor with him. Their speed was not slow, but the huge black shadow moved slowly—even so, Lin Qiao and Fu Mian still couldn't catch up with it.

The black shadow moved in the orphanage. Its limbs were thick and its figure was unusually tall, like a giant.And it is holding a thumping child in its hand—it is Little X.

Lin Qiao and Fu Mian closely followed the huge black shadow, which seemed to deliberately lead them to a certain place, bypassed the second floor, came to the first floor, and finally disappeared in an extremely hidden corner.

Lin Qiao stopped, grabbed Fu Mian, and said, "It's gone."

Fu Mian said: "Go and have a look, be careful."

This corner was hard to spot, and they had never been here before.The two walked over slowly and found out that there was a small door there, which had been opened.

Behind the small door was a long staircase. Lin Qiao and Fu Mian cautiously walked down the staircase. They walked for an unknown amount of time before stepping on the ground.

There was an extremely unpleasant smell floating in the narrow underground space. Lin Qiao's cufflinks were shining. He looked at the ground and saw a pool of blood red.

Lin Qiao said: "There is blood."

The blood splattered intermittently, spreading all the way forward.Lin Qiao and Fu Mian followed the blood for a while...and stopped again.

At the end of the dark space, there is a tightly closed door. The door is thick and huge, and it is tightly sealed with a special lock.If you want to open the door, you have to put your hand through a hole to touch the lock inside.

This was a lock that Lin Qiao couldn't pry open, because a severed hand was stuck in the hole, and blood trickled down the door, staining half of the door red.

There was a body lying down in front of the door, and there was no sound.The light from the cufflinks illuminated the old man's face... Lin Qiao frowned slightly.

It was an old man, the old man in the forest they had just seen this morning.
