True Beta needs to attack Alpha

It has been proved that it is not feasible to wait for a rabbit. Su Ye can only refine the original simple and rough plan: "We wait like this. We don't know when we will wait, so let's take the initiative."

"Buyu, you go to the dean's office to look for clues."

"You two go to Aunt Liu's dormitory and see if you can find anything."

"Leave this bunch of kids to me, maybe they can know something."

The four of them split up again, Chen Buyu, Le Xiang and Sui Yuanju all sneaked around like thieves, only Su Ye openly groped on the children's beds under the pretext of being a nurse, and even got to say something.

Because Su Ye is completely in the mentality of "a dead horse is a living horse doctor" at the moment, so his way of saying is quite casual: "Do you know that there is a basement here?"

Staring at Su Ye's action of picking his own pillowcase, the boy curled up at the corner of the bed nodded aggrievedly: "I know..."

The girl in the next bed gave the boy a dissatisfied look, lifted the quilt and got up, and corrected Su Ye: "That's not the basement, that's—" The girl paused, and scratched her hair in distress: "What is that?" ? I can’t remember, it’s not the basement anyway.”

The other children also stuck their heads out from under the covers, echoing the girl and saying, "Second Sister is right, that's not the basement!"

"How can a younger brother be born in the basement? Mom said it was a palace."

"Brother Su is so stupid, only a house built underground is called a basement."

"Yes..." The boy who spoke first nodded in agreement, following the words of his brothers and sisters, "It's my brother's palace, not the basement."

Realizing that these children knew far more than he imagined, Su Ye immediately corrected his attitude.

He slowed down his rummaging, and instead focused on the children's reply: "Who is the younger brother you're talking about?"

"A younger brother is a younger brother."

Su Ye: "..." Very well, there is nothing wrong with this answer.

He asked again: "Aside from 'brother', what else is there in the palace? "

"What else is in the palace, we don't know, only my brother knows."

Su Ye: "..." Very good, there is nothing wrong with this answer.

"Haven't you been to the palace?"

The girl who was called the second sister by the other children wrung her fingers, she no longer had the eloquent appearance before, and looked as low as a cub abandoned by a mother beast: "No, we are not mother's biological children, so we cannot go to the palace."

"Brother, palace, mother, and these children..." As if there were invisible threads connecting unrelated words together, Su Ye pondered for a moment, then said again: "Mom is..."

He wanted to ask "Who is Mom?", but after realizing that he was likely to get the answer "Mom is Mom", he changed the way of asking: "Where is Mom? Has she visited you and your brother?"

The little boy blinked in surprise, and said as a matter of course: "Mom is here, it's not like you haven't seen her before."

"Hmm..." The other children nodded in agreement and rushed to answer: "Mom is a good person, she has been taking care of us."

"My brother protects my mother all the time, and my mother protects us all the time. Mom is the best mother."

"Although we are not mother's biological children, mother still takes us in and treats us very well."

After patiently waiting for the children to finish praising "Mom", Su Ye asked, "Is Mommy Aunt Liu?"

The children shook their heads in unison: "Aunt Liu is Aunt Liu, and mother is mother."

The scorching sun at noon revealed the astonishment on Su Ye's face: "?" Aunt Liu is not her mother, so is the dean her mother?Isn't this dungeon too fashionable, and a male mother...

However, just as he was about to continue asking, the hinge of the door creaked harshly.

Aunt Liu, who was standing at the door, glanced at Su Ye and the children with stagnant eyes, her perennially stern face was as stiff as a playing card: "I let you take a nap, not chat."

"Xiao Su, come out and prepare dinner with me."

Su Ye, who was still full of thoughts, was reluctantly called away by Aunt Liu, and he could only comfort himself to ask questions after taking a nap tomorrow.

Fortunately, being busy kept the time from being difficult, and the hour hand of the clock quickly pointed to the number "10" - the time to go to bed. Su Ye, Chen Buyu, Le Xiang and Sui Yuanju were finally able to gather around the table to summarize the meeting.

Su Ye first relayed the information he found to other people, and then expressed his own speculation: "The "mother" in the children's mouth is obviously the key NPC, as long as we find her, we can hope to enter the basement.As for the younger brother in the basement, nine out of ten are the reason for the dungeon. "

"However, I still have two things that I can't figure out. First, those children said that I have seen "Mom", but whether it was the previous seven days or the two days after the reset, I have never seen anyone except Aunt Liu and the dean. living things outside. "

"Second, since the "younger brother" is locked in the basement alone, it means that the "younger brother" should be a very dangerous existence. "

"But the children say that 'brother' protects 'mother' and 'mother' protects them..."

"So what kind of connection exists between these three parties? What roles did Aunt Liu and the dean play in it?"

"I do have some clues about the dean." Chen Buyu took out a thick stack of documents and distributed them to Su Ye and the others, "This is the file of all the children in [Rainbow House], marking their biological father, biological mother, birth date, etc. date and time of abandonment."

Le Xiang, who didn't know why, browsed the information at a glance: "Is there anything strange about this?"

"It seems normal, right? When I saw these files for the first time, I didn't notice any problems."

Under the illumination of the incandescent lamp, Chen Buyu's eyes were amazingly bright, "But, we ignored where this is."

"[Rainbow House] should be an orphanage for orphans and disabled children, so how could these able-bodied children with clear parents appear here? Even according to the laws of Longteng Kingdom, such welfare institutions as [Rainbow House] It is impossible for a court to exist.”

"So I read these files carefully again, and then I found that some children only marked their biological fathers, but not their biological mothers. I didn't think too much about it at the time, until I found something more interesting—" Chen Buyu picked up Empty pockets: "The pockets that hold these files are not simple."

"The number of files in each file bag is different. There are at most five files and at least one file, and the cover of each file bag is signed."

He lined up the file bags one by one, and his manicured and round nails slid across the handwriting left in the middle of the file bag with a marker: "Chen Xiaomei, Xie Lu, Zu Xialan, Liu Zhao..."

"Did you find out? They are all female names."

Chen Buyu concluded: "Healthy children who know their parents, healthy children who only know their biological father, illegal orphanages, file bags marked with women's names, and different numbers of files in the file bag. What can you think of?"

Su Ye, who quickly connected all the clues together, sank like water, and spit out two bloody words: "Surrogate pregnancy." Note 1" Lexiang: "Surrogate pregnancy? "

"That's right, it's surrogacy." Chen Buyu explained, "Many surrogates will abandon their surrogate children due to various reasons such as broken relationships, unable to pay the final payment, and sudden change of mind. It becomes an abandoned baby. [Rainbow House], I am afraid that it is a special place to take these surrogate abandoned babies."

Sui Yuanju not only failed to feel the sudden enlightenment of "seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mists", but he was even more confused: "If the dean and Aunt Liu are the caretakers of the children, then "mother" and "brother" play the roles of what a role.According to the children, they seem to be protectors? "

"But "mother" and "brother" should be mother and child, how did they get in touch with these surrogate babies? "

The heels of the palms pressed against the temples, and even Su Ye, who was active in thinking, was a little puzzled: "We can only be sure that there must be something wrong with "mother" and "brother". "

"So the top priority is to find a way to enter the basement..."

"Hush——" Le Xiang, who is sensitive to sound, suddenly put his index finger in front of Su Ye's half-opened lips, and whispered, "Did you hear that? There is movement next door."

Sui Yuanju groaned in his heart: "Next door? Next door is Aunt Liu's dormitory."

The four exchanged glances, then stood up and opened the door.Looking in the direction of the footsteps through the dim light in the corridor, they happened to see the back of Aunt Liu disappearing around the corner.

There was no need to communicate, they tacitly hung at a position 20 meters away, and followed Aunt Liu on tiptoe all the way until the other party stopped at the door of the basement.

"Here we come!" Chen Buyu tensed his muscles reflexively, ready to snatch the key.

However, what he didn't expect was that Aunt Liu had no intention of taking out the key to open the door.She slammed straight into the door panel, and then—passed through the door.

Le Xiang was dumbfounded: "..." The clown is actually me? JPG "What's going on?"

Sui Yuanju even muttered to himself: "I'm so stupid, really. I actually wanted to use snatching just now. How could I have forgotten that these unknown creatures might be able to pass through the wall directly?"

Chen? Had the same idea? Buyu seemed to have been shot in the knee with an arrow: "..." Stop scolding, I really haven't entered the dungeon for too long and have degraded.

Only Su Ye was calm, he pulled Chen Buyu to sit down: "Don't panic, we'll wait for her to come out."
