Excessive ferocity due to caution

Xiao Hong pouted and carefully walked onto the podium.

Zhao Yi stood aside and observed silently.

The first thought of an ordinary person would be... that the female administrator is mentally disturbed, actually letting children come into contact with such bloody things!

Although children from farming families may occasionally come into contact with these things.

But the purposes are different.

One reason is for food and clothing.

This is a relatively simple motivation based on desire.

The female manager in front of us is clearly cultivating a morbid mentality towards child abuse and murder.

The former is about meeting needs.

The latter is a psychotic disorder.

But in fact, the female administrator's abnormal behavior conveniently overshadowed another easily overlooked issue.

That's what's wrong with Xiaohong and these children.

Seeing the little white rabbit being skinned and blood splattering, the children did not scream or feel uncomfortable.

They even smiled and clapped in unison.

Although Xiaohong was unwilling to dissect the white rabbit, it was not because of fear.

This suggests that these children have certainly encountered similar situations before.

"Aunt Liu... I really don't want to..."

Xiao Hong's voice was trembling with tears.

Zhao Yi's eyes were fixed on Xiao Hong's hand.

Very stable.

Even under such circumstances, Xiao Hong's hand holding the knife barely trembled.

To achieve this, one needs not only exceptional mental fortitude but also a long period of practice…

But speaking of which...

Why would you let a child practice holding a knife?

Seeing Xiao Hong's worried face, Liu Meimei said sternly:

"Little Red!"

"Have you forgotten the rules of Miracle Orphanage?"

Xiao Hong trembled upon hearing this and quickly put on a fake smile.

[Orphanage Rule #1: Children adopted by the orphanage must always keep a smile on their face.]

[For those who violate this rule, the First Miracle will occur.]

She took the knife and stabbed the little white rabbit randomly a couple of times.

The little white rabbit stopped moving.

Blood flowed onto the podium, leaving a strange mark.

Xiao Hong placed the knife on the podium.

Seeing Xiao Hong's listless attitude, Liu Meimei began to scold her severely!

"Useless thing!"

"You've really brought shame to the orphanage!"

"Go to the dark room and reflect on your actions!"

"Oh, and by the way... you're not allowed to eat today!"

Xiao Hong was scolded by Liu Meimei and cried. Tears streamed down her face, but she still controlled her facial muscles and maintained a stiff and strange smile.

She packed her brightly colored schoolbag and left the classroom.

The other children cast sympathetic or mocking glances at Xiaohong.

The rest of the time, they all came up to peel the skin off the little white rabbit. The bell rang several times, but Liu Meimei showed no sign of wanting to leave get out of class.

Some of the children were ruthless; although they didn't skin the rabbit, Liu Meimei still gave them great praise and encouragement.

Some children showed resistance and fear, so Liu Meimei criticized them severely and punished them.

Finally, after all the children had finished their dissections, the morning was over.

The classroom reeked of blood.

White rabbit fur.

A bright red, tattered rabbit.

They were thrown everywhere.

After Liu Meimei announced the end of get out of class, the children rushed to the cafeteria.

"Did you see that?"

"You don't need to spend as long in a class as I do."

"But the important thing is the way the class is conducted!"

"Teachers must maintain their dignity and be fair in their rewards and punishments for students to respect them."

After Liu Meimei finished speaking, Liu Mang suddenly asked:

"Excuse me, administrator, what is the 'little black room'?"

"What are the rules and regulations of the orphanage?"

The female manager glanced at him:

"The small dark room is in that abandoned construction site next to the playground on the south side."

"As for the rules of the orphanage... those are made for the children in the orphanage, and have nothing to do with you."

"You can attend classes according to the schedule this afternoon..."

"Remember... you must be strict with the children; the more lenient you are, the more you are harming them!"

After she left, Liu Mang immediately said to the others:

"I need to go to the small dark room."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't explain it... I feel uneasy."

Faced with everyone's questions, Liu Mang looked extremely unwell.

At noon, the group went to the cafeteria for lunch. Meng Huo suddenly said:

Where did Zhao Yi go?

The three looked at each other and shook their heads.

"have no idea."

Wu Daquan said:

"Zhao Yi just said he had something very important to do, and then he left..."

"This guy is really... his level is so low, yet he's running around everywhere. It's really worrying."

Meng Huo seemed to be deep in thought.

After lunch, there is a two-hour lunch break.

When they returned to the apartment, they found Liu Mang sitting on the sofa, his face ashen.

"Liu Mang, how's the situation over in the small dark room?"

Seeing Liu Mang's expression, Meng Huo guessed that something had probably happened.

Liu Mang licked his dry lips and said:

"Little Red from Class One... is dead."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Dead?"

"How did he die?"

Liu Mang recalled Xiao Hong's death with lingering fear.

"I don't know... I did a quick inspection of the scene, and there were no signs of struggle."

"What's terrifying is that Xiao Hong's skin had been peeled off from head to toe and neatly folded to the side..."

She herself sat upright at an old school desk in the dark room, facing that dark corner...

"It was too eerie there, I didn't dare go closer to take a closer look..."

It is undeniable that these players have already achieved considerable skill.

There are also some props.

However, their experience also taught them that the difficulty of dungeons above Hell level is based on the highest strength member of their team.

What is an insurmountable difficulty for Meng Huo, is naturally much more difficult for those of lower levels!

After hearing Liu Mang's account, Wu Daquan immediately expressed his thoughts:

"Could it have been that female manager who did it?"

Liu Mang rubbed his head and denied it:

"It shouldn't be."

"Remember when she was skinning the rabbit? Even to a layman like me, her technique looked clumsy."

"With her skinning technique, there's no way she could peel Xiao Hong's skin off intact..."

At this moment, Meng Huo continued:

"The time and place don't match either."

"She has an alibi. When we went to the cafeteria, she was eating. After we finished eating, we left, and she was in our sight the whole time."

"So this was probably not done by the female manager."

Just as everyone was pondering, the door was suddenly opened.

The sound startled everyone!

They looked in the direction of the sound and found Zhao Yi eating an ice pop.

"Depend on!"

"You scared us to death!"

Wu Daquan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was Xiao Hong's ghost chasing after Liu Mang to claim his life..."

Liu Mang immediately became displeased and glared at him, saying:

"Can't you speak properly?"

"I didn't kill her, why is she coming after me for my life?"

Wu Daquan chuckled awkwardly:

"Hey... I was just worried about you, wasn't I?"

"There are so many of us, and you're the only one who saw her body. Something unexpected could have happened... After all, this is an extremely difficult dungeon..."

"What if she starts to hold a grudge against you?"

"Even if she doesn't come during the day, she might just end up in your bed at night..."

"You fucking...!"

Liu Mang got up to punch Wu Daquan, but Li Qi stopped him:

"calm!"

"calm!"

"He was just trying to be kind..."

Just as everyone was arguing and bickering, Zhao Yi popped the popsicle out of his mouth and said:

"XDM, I've found an important clue."

Everyone immediately stopped and turned their attention to Zhao Yi.

"HXD, what clue did you find?"

Zhao Yi took out a piece of paper from his pocket:

"Here, this."
