"Jingle Bell--"

The ear-piercing and familiar bell rang, and Su Cibei opened his eyes. For a moment, he thought that he was dreaming back to his school days, and that a roommate should come to pull his quilt and urge him to hurry down to do morning exercises together.In the next second, he found that there was a short fleshy leg across his stomach, and the little girl whose hair was about to explode into a chicken coop was sleeping soundly next to him.

...It seems that Gu Yanze's emotionless way of reciting is also quite useful.

At least managed to hypnotize them both.

There was the sound of children playing outside the window, Su Cibei propped up his upper body and looked down from the window, just in time to see them sitting in a row on a plastic stool waiting for their aunt to wash their faces and wash their hands.The children in the yard looked like a huge crowd, and of course the aunt couldn't get over it, and the older children became her little assistants.

After wiping his face, he took a small washbasin and began to wipe the faces of other younger brothers and sisters.There is no crying or jumping in line. The children are very well-behaved. They will laugh and laugh with their friends, and they will obediently rub their necks when it is their turn.

The whole scene has a lively hustle and bustle, which makes people have a sense of real life substitution, and it is easy to forget that they are actually ghosts, not living human beings.

but--

Su Cibei turned on the screen of the mobile phone, and the line of sight on it showed exactly 12 o'clock.

Twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when the ghosts are most powerful, so they can support the entire orphanage scene.Including the small bungalow downstairs as a kitchen, a small yard where children can play, and the big tree with luxuriant branches in the yard.

Other than that, the outside world still looks like chaos.

Su Cibei wiped his eyes, got up and straightened his clothes, ready to check on the condition of the children next door, and then went downstairs to wash up.Although he didn't know what he was washing with in the illusion, it always felt a bit uncomfortable not to wash.

People, sometimes don't care about so much.

As soon as he put on his coat, before he could go out the door, he heard a loud shout from downstairs.

"Yuanyuan, where did you go, you bastard! Come down to wash your face and eat!"

...Damn boy?

Su Cibei was stunned, he turned around silently, and just happened to see the little guy whom he had slept in his arms as a little loli last night, quickly turned over and stuck his head out of the window.

"Come here, Aunt Pan, I'll be down right away! Don't take away my boiled eggs!"

The little... boy with long hair reaching to his waist, neatly pulled a cowhide band from his wrist, stretched out his hand to flick it, and then tied himself a ponytail.Then he patted the pink and tender lace skirt, ran out of the room da da da, and when passing by Su Cibei, he asked friendlyly, brother, do you want to pee together?

…together, pee, shall we?

Su Cibei rejected his invitation with complicated emotions, and drifted to the next door like a wandering soul, full of vicissitudes and grievances.He was deceived by the big guy in women's clothing again, and once again...

I feel like I'm stuck with this stalk for the rest of my life.

Why is this happening?

On the other side, Gu Yanze, who was finally busy with his official duties for the time being, waited not for a compliment after reading a fairy tale, but——

Su Cibei: "You big pig's trotter:)"

Gu Yanze:? ? ? ?

After a while, the judge who entered the door with a stack of urgent documents met his superior's serious gaze.

"Lu Pan, in the cafeteria of Hell today..."

The judge cheered up: "What dishes are there in the cafeteria today? Are you finally willing to go to the cafeteria for a meal?"

He looked kindly like an unfilial girl who saw him go on a hunger strike to lose weight for many days and was finally willing to eat.

"My lord, I'm not bragging. The cafeteria in our underworld is definitely the top of the Three Realms. There are many and rich ingredients. From ordinary single-order meals, to buffets and even diet meals, as long as you think about it, there must be something suitable for you."

The judge bragged about the cafeteria in the underworld in various ways, and even reported the name of today's dishes to Gu Yanze on the spot, just to make him visit the cafeteria more and eat more good food.Like half-bitten pancakes and hard yellow steamed buns, this kind should not appear in the majestic Yama's recipes!

Those who don't know think that they are abusing Hades in the underworld!

Thinking of what he accidentally saw some time ago, Gu Yanze carefully took out a half-left pancake fruit and put it aside to heat up and eat it, the judge felt extremely sad in his heart.

Is the underworld going bankrupt?

He had struggled for thousands of years to secure his position as the current judge, and he really didn't want to look for a job again.

woo woo woo woo……

Gu Yanze was terrified by the judge's strange eyes staring at the ground, he hesitated, "Then, you can help me pack two big pig's trotters today."

Judge: "Braised or stewed?"

Gu Yanze: "...All of them."

They all greedily called him a pig's trotter, probably because they want to eat it very much, right?

……

"Good morning, how are you feeling now?"

After venting his anger on Gu Yanze, Su Cibei calmed down and walked into the room. The five children had already woken up.Due to their physical condition, they did not join the breakfast party downstairs, but gathered around the table in the room and ate their breakfast.

White porridge with pickled vegetables and a boiled egg is simple but for the orphanage, it is already the best breakfast that can be produced with all its efforts.

"Brother doctor is good", "We have recovered a lot", "My head doesn't hurt anymore, and my body doesn't burn anymore"...

The children answered his questions in a hurry. Su Cibei was not at ease, so he took their temperature again, and after confirming that all the fever had subsided, as long as they took the medicine well, they would be fine, and asked them to put the bowl there. Help them lift it down.

The children obediently agreed, but Su Cibei found that they had been looking downstairs with envy.

"What?" Su Cibei chuckled, "Do you want to play with them? Not yet, take a good rest for a day, and when you recover from illness, brother will bring you new toys, okay?"

Although these children are also fierce ghosts, their hostility is much lighter than that of others. It is estimated that they were kept in the room because of illness and did not experience what happened before the fire ignited.Their obsession may be due to their unwillingness to die without knowing why, and their reluctance to leave their companions in the orphanage, so they turned into ghosts.

If possible, it is better to let them reincarnate as soon as possible.

This idea turned around in his head, before Su Cibei could figure out what to do, he saw the girl in the lead shook her head, and said softly:

"No need, it's good that my brother is willing to come and treat us. We don't want to go down to play. If we are sick, we should recuperate obediently and get well soon. We are just a little regretful. Someone will come to us to adopt a boy today. .”

"If he is adopted, then today will be the last breakfast we can have together. I hope he can live a better life after he is taken away."

……

Will someone come to adopt a child today?

Su Cibei was stunned when he suddenly heard the unexpected news. Before he came, he had Googled the fire in the orphanage.In the police report, there was no mention of the person who wanted to adopt the child. He was not the one who died, and he was not the one who survived.

So, did he not come today, or did he escape successfully after the fire, and no one knew that he had been here.

In other words, is he the arsonist?

Confused speculations flashed through his mind, and Su Cibei suddenly heard that when the boy named Yuanyuan ran into his room last night, he said that the reason he couldn't sleep was because the brother he liked was probably leaving, He is a little uncomfortable, but he can't show it in front of others.

So he came to his room, because his room was special.

When Yuanyuan mentioned his room, she used a smiling tone, the kind of proud look unique to children when introducing her secret base to others.So at first he didn't take it seriously, but now that he thinks about it...

Why is his room special?

Why did that person knock on his door yesterday? If you want to get out, shouldn't you knock on the orphanage's door?

When he knocked on the door, he shouted, I don’t want to die, don’t lock me out, does that represent the room Su Cibei was assigned to, in a sense, it means safety or exit?

Su Cibei felt that he might have caught a trace of the truth, so he knelt down and asked the little girl.

"Did the yard say who was adopted? Wait, did the adopter come over and take him away?" Why did you leave in such a hurry, you had to leave in a hurry in the morning, and you didn't even have time to eat? ?

"I don't know yet," the little girl shook her head, "They said that the man wanted to adopt a seven or eight-year-old boy to play with his daughter, and he was required to be able to speak basic English. The only one who met the requirements in our yard was Lin Haoyu and Li Yue. The dean said that he wants them to go there together and let the other party—”

"Cough," a low-pitched cough came from outside the door, and the dean came in with a basket.She was wearing a crumpled blue shirt, and her slightly hunched back seemed even more arched.

"Doctor Su, stop working here, go down and have breakfast."

She turned her eyes around the children in warning, and the girl who spoke immediately covered her mouth and obediently said nothing.

Su Cibei glanced at the timid look of the children, he didn't embarrass them anymore, but helped them put away all the dishes after eating.

The dean walked ahead carrying a basket full of dishes, and the dilapidated wooden stairs creaked as she walked.There were fine black traces that gradually spread along her steps, "clack-cluck--", the mahogany floor was engulfed by flames, and the edges were engulfed by flames, and as far as the eye could see, it was surrounded by a dazzling red.

The scorching heat came faintly, and the dean suddenly stopped and turned to look at Su Cibei.

The face that looked like dried orange peel was burnt black at this moment, half-melted fat was dripping down, and the two eyes had turned into black holes.

Su Cibei's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers slowly tightened, and the yellow talisman was held in his hand, wrinkling.

The dean opened and closed his mouth, which was burnt to the point where only his teeth remained.

"Doctor Su, I shouldn't have said these things to you, but since the children mentioned them, I will just say a few words. The child to be adopted today is Lin Haoyu, the one who invited you here before. Now There are not many people who are willing to adopt children, and that gentleman immediately took a fancy to him, and I was surprised when he said he would take him home."

"But here, there are too many people without a home. Everyone wants to have a home, and someone to spoil them. Let's go. You can only choose one, and recommend whoever performs well."

"How can we have this ability? It's just a matter of fate. What happens in the end depends on them. Those who should go will go, and those who should stay will naturally stay."

Finally, she muttered something meaningful.

"Sometimes, the more anxious a person is, the easier it is for him not to get it."

Su Cibei stopped and watched the dean tremblingly walking out of the door. Those horrible scenes just now seemed to be just hallucinations, flashed by and left nothing behind.

But he couldn't help coughing lowly, and stretched out his hand to cover his neck.It's been a long time, but as long as you get close to this kind of place where the fire once burned, your neck will still subconsciously throb, as if you have returned to the beginning, seeing the dying self lying in the thunder fire.

"Dudu-"

The sharp sound of car horns pulled Su Cibei out of his past memories. When he looked up, he happened to see a black car driving into the small courtyard of the orphanage.

A tall man in a suit got out of the car and greeted the dean warmly.

Su Cibei walked quickly to the door, and when he saw the man's face, he was stunned.

The adopter is a foreigner?
