Excessive ferocity due to caution

As get out of class was about to end, Zhao Yi heard screams coming from other classrooms on the same floor.

Zhao recognized the voice as belonging to Wu Daquan.

Judging from the strength of his cry and what followed, Wu Daquan should not be in any danger.

However, they must have suffered some degree of physical or mental torment.

After the afternoon classes ended, the children rushed to the cafeteria like hungry ghosts, while Zhao Yi and his friends returned to their apartment.

The orphanage's curriculum is not full.

With six classes a day, they have plenty of time to explore this instance.

However, it gets dark very early here.

It was completely dark by around six o'clock.

The moon is bright and the stars are few; the lamplight is dim.

In some places on the same floor, there were no lights installed in the hallway.

This made the already eerie school building even more unsettling...

After hundreds of children left, only six players remained.

In the dim light, Meng Huo leaned against the iron railing leading downstairs and lit a cigarette.

He is a typical artsy young man.

He has an average appearance, but the more you look at him, the more handsome he seems.

The way he smoked was just like a beast in human clothing.

They are on the third floor.

As the teammates gradually gathered, Zhao Yi also came out of the classroom.

The six people present looked at each other.

Only Zhao Yi and Meng Huo were uninjured.

Everyone else had some of today's "spoils" on them.

The worst off was Wu Daquan.

Because his teaching quality was substandard, the class monitor of Class 6 chopped off the fingers of his left hand!

It's hard to imagine that a child of a few years old could lift him up with one hand, press him against the wall, and then precisely chop off his finger with a knife!

His face was deathly pale, and the fingers holding the cigarette trembled violently.

"Did you find out anything?"

The group walked towards the apartment together. On the way, Meng Huo asked the others questions.

Li Qi looked at the fingernail that had been pulled off his left hand and said with a distressed expression:

"Those little lunatics, they don't say a word..."

"They fall silent as soon as you mention the school rules..."

The white-cut chicken and Liu Mang, who were standing nearby, quickly chimed in:

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Me too!"

Meng Huo shifted his gaze to Zhao Yi.

The latter kept his head down the whole way, looking at his own shadow, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

"Zhao Yi, what did you discover today?"

Zhao Yi raised his head and asked the crowd:

"Has anyone asked these children about their past?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Someone spoke first, and it was Wu Daquan, whose finger had been chopped off!

"I asked someone..."

Wu Daquan gritted his teeth and said.

Today, only one child's affection for him increased to "like".

The reason is that the child was bullied and ostracized by other children for many years.

She saw herself in Wu Da's whole body.

So she actually developed a sense of kinship with Wu Daquan, this "useless teacher"!

Wu Daquan attempted to continue having a relationship with her... no, I mean, to develop a relationship with her.

So the two chatted for a long time.

Among them, Wu Daquan asked about the children's parents.

The other party told Wu Daquan that her parents died in an accident.

At this moment, the poached chicken also said:

"The parents of the children I asked all died in accidents!"

"Me...my end is the same..."

Li Qi, the red-haired woman with scars, looked unwell.

Everyone checked...

I was immediately terrified!

These orphans at the Miracle Orphanage...

Was he truly an orphan due to an accident, or...?

In this world...

Are there really that many surprises?

Seeing that Zhao Yi remained silent, Meng Huo actually took the initiative to ask:

"Zhao Yi, what do you think?"

Zhao Yi yawned and gave a brief reminder:

"Don't you consider the possibility that these children might be lying?"

The others were taken aback.

Meng Huo understood the implication in Zhao Yi's words.

"You asked that too?"

"Hmm... I asked many children, and they all said that their parents died in an accident."

Zhao Yi gazed at the dark path ahead and continued:

"But I think they lied..."

The image of a white-cut chicken with an afro is even more explosive after hearing it.

"Will worrying about this help us complete our main quest?"

Meng Huo:

"have."

"And it's very big."

The group looked at him, their gazes questioning.

Meng Huo glanced at Zhao Yi and said:

"Our biggest problem right now stems from the unknown."

"This dungeon is different from previous low-difficulty dungeons; it's ending on the first day, and we still don't know the real source of the danger..."

"Those children seemed abnormal, and even showed unstable hostility towards us."

"But right now, they are clearly an important source of information for us!"

"The veracity of their statements directly impacts whether we can survive and clear this dungeon!"

The group suddenly realized!

Zhao Yi looked at their expressions and shook his head slightly.

Meng Huo is at least somewhat intelligent.

Zhao Yi didn't actually care about the fact that the children were lying.

What he really cared about was the children's motives for lying.

Human motivations for lying can generally be divided into two types: active and passive.

Deliberate lies stem from desire.

Passive lies, on the other hand, are often due to one's own predicament or predicament.

This predicament or awkward situation can be divided into two types:

The first reason is that they cannot tell the truth, so they lie.

The second reason is that they don't know the truth, so they lie.

Based on Zhao Yi's observations and judgment, the children at the Miracle Orphanage lied out of passive motive.

So, is it that they can't say... or that they don't know?

Zhao Yi wanted an answer.

because,

This will directly link to another clue he found!

The first priority now is to figure out the real source of the danger so that they can prepare to take precautions!

Back in the apartment, they quickly cooked some instant noodles. Suddenly, they heard the sound of a key turning in the lock at the door. Everyone was startled and stood up abruptly, looking towards the door.

Only Zhao Yi sat on the sofa, continuing to eat his noodles.

The woman standing by the door is the manager.

The streetlights outside cast her shadow behind her, sending it into the room.

Liu Meimei stared blankly at Zhao Yi.

A strange and inexplicable feeling.

"Zhao Yi, come with me."

Zhao Yi put down the noodles in his hand, picked up a bottle of soda, and left with Liu Meimei.

The five people in the room stood by the window, watching Zhao Yi and Liu Meimei's retreating figures into the darkness, a very bad premonition sweeping through their hearts...

Wu Daquan slumped in the corner, muttering to himself:

"It's over..."

"We've lost a teammate..."

Liu Mang, who was standing nearby, got up and went to his bedroom.

He was afraid that if he stayed in the living room any longer, he would lose his temper and stab Wu Daquan!

That son of a bitch, his mouth is as sweet as honey.

...

The orphanage was very large.

But there weren't many people inside.

At night, desolation and deathly silence become the theme of the orphanage.

This place is like a graveyard.

Snapped!

Arriving at Liu Meimei's office, she turned on the light and sat down in her soft chair.

The pale light cast shadows on her face.

"You killed the class monitor of Class One, that unlucky kid?"

Her tone was icy, like that of a demon ready to devour people.

Zhao Yibing didn't care and shrugged, saying:

"Manager Liu, you're the one who told us... if students do something wrong, they should be severely punished!"

"I was just following the rules and regulations of the orphanage."

Liu Meimei squinted.

There's a dangerous light flashing.

A chilling aura and murderous intent enveloped Zhao Yi, and the incandescent light above his head began to flicker incessantly.

This murderous aura was tinged with a great deal of restraint.

The female manager's attitude... is intriguing.

Finally, the murderous aura dissipated.

She took out a notebook and began to write and draw mechanically.

"It's my fault for not explaining this to you beforehand..."

"But I still have to remember this."

"If your performance isn't good enough later, I'll prioritize eliminating you."

The female manager's words are worth pondering.

She didn't mean to remove you from your position.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she omitted the last three words.

"remember……"

"No matter what mistakes these children have made, you cannot harm their lives, understand?"

Zhao Yi didn't answer, seemingly testing the woman's bottom line.

Liu Meimei placed the notebook on the table and went to Zhao Yi.

Eyes facing each other.

"I'll say it again... Killing is forbidden inside the Miracle Orphanage."

"This time, it can be considered my dereliction of duty..."

"If there's a next time, you'll definitely regret what you did!"

Zhao Yi shifted his gaze and glanced at the notebook on the table.

Then he nodded.

"I understand... There's another thing I'd like to ask you about, Manager."

Liu Meimei sat back down in her chair and closed her notebook.

"explain."

Zhao Yi asked:

"Is it possible for me to know anything about the parents of these children?"

"This is related to my teaching."

Liu Meimei said coldly:

"No comment."

As the female manager was speaking, her toes, clad in high heels, accidentally bumped into a cardboard box under the table.

Zhao Yi noticed this and said:

"In that case, I'll head back now."

I said goodbye to the female manager.

When Zhao Yi left the office, his gaze carried a rare seriousness.

...

Studio.

Holy crap! Did you guys see that?

What do you see?

That female manager's notebook!

Notebook? Where can I find a notebook?

...The people upstairs are beyond saving, just bury them!

How can you drive on this crappy road?

Damn! Didn't you guys notice? The handwriting on that female manager's notebook!

Hmm... Now that you mention it, it sounds familiar... Where have I seen it before...?

It's on the mirror in the apartment bathroom!

The "Help!" sign on the mirror is exactly the same as the female manager's handwriting!!

PS: Okay.

More than 6000 words today.

Come on!

Keep up the good work tomorrow!
