When winter came, in Mirufiore's base, he didn't feel anything.I can't feel the slightest bit of cold, except that I can see the swirling snowflakes outside the window and the roofs of tall buildings wrapped in silver.That's right, I, a person who can only stay in this base all year round, can't understand the deep chill when I see people coming and going wearing the same thin uniform for thousands of years.

Most of the winter sky is gray, which makes people feel depressed.On days without sunshine, I have no interest in watching the scenery.The thick black clouds pressing down on the top of the tall buildings seemed to make me breathless.

The right eyelid has been twitching for several days.The left eye jumps for money, and the right eye is the opposite for disaster.

I don't know what happened to the world outside the window, but a bad premonition has been spreading in my heart.

Flip and flick the calendar, Christmas is coming.In previous years, Christmas was spent with the children in the orphanage, but it was clear that this year could not continue like this.

Just when I was thinking this way, Bai Lan actually gave me permission to go out.As if he knew that I would sleep with the children every Christmas Eve, he gave me special permission to go out in the afternoon of Christmas Eve and return at noon on Christmas Eve.

I have never had the right to question his decisions, but since he gave me a chance, I naturally won't let it go easily.I already feel lucky that I can spend the Christmas Eve with Bai Lan, how can I ask for anything else.So when the time came, I left the Mirufiore base and rushed to the orphanage without staying for a moment.

When the familiar rusty iron gate appeared in sight, I breathed a sigh of relief.The person next to me in the white Mirufiore uniform pushed open the door and invited me in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Sister Maria whom I hadn't seen for a long time.It's just that I haven't seen her for half a year, and she seems to have aged a lot.But she still held my hand with a smile, and the familiar warmth came up, and I almost burst into tears.

The people who accompanied Mirufiore who came to watch me (at least I thought so) sent me safely to the orphanage, and then scattered to stand guard and patrol in places with a better view.Sister Maria and I first went to a short prayer and then talked in the church.

The church, which is usually crowded with people, is unusually quiet at this moment.Sister Maria and I sat on the bench in the first row, and I leaned on her, telling stories about what happened to me during these days, my thoughts and my doubts.On the other hand, Sister Maria just smiled and listened to my story calmly.

"Thank you, Lucia." She stretched out her hand and rubbed my head. The uneven rows of wrinkles on her old hands made me feel a little more depressed.

We sat for a while, and she took me to visit those naughty boys before.The moment I walked into the yard, I felt so strange.The lawn where everyone was supposed to play together was empty.Some children even slammed the door of their own room when they saw me.

I'm sure I'm not mistaken, when the child saw me, there was a look of panic on his face.

But when I looked at Sister Maria suspiciously, Sister Maria just sighed deeply.

"It's really... the sky has changed..."

I didn't understand what Sister Maria meant. She patted my hand in relief and said, "Not only has your world changed, but the world outside has also changed."

Sister Maria's tone was very calm, and she told me the stories of the past few months.

Since the war between Pengele and Mirufiore, there have been more and more orphans caused by gun|fire incidents outside.That's not the most important thing.The most important thing is that Vengley has always been at a disadvantage.And as an orphanage that Gabrielone has always supported, it was also taken over by Miru Fiore when Gabrielone was suffering.

Sister Maria said that she would never forget the day when the Mirufiore Black Cursed people killed members of other families who were hiding in the church praying crowd.I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.During the hail of bullets, all the children here witnessed the horrific scenes, some went crazy, and some never dared to talk to others again.There are almost no children who can take it calmly.

Although Mirufiore later sent a large amount of maintenance fees, no one came to this church and no one visited this orphanage again.Although she didn't know why Mirufiore would continue to support this impoverished orphanage after that, but now, only Sister Maria is supporting the mental state of all the children in the orphanage up.

As for me, I finally understood why Bai Lan asked me to come here.He didn't mean to make me spend Christmas, he was just telling me in a tactful but effective way that the entire life of the orphanage was in his hands.As long as he thinks, all the people here are just victims.And the only person who can trigger this bomb is me.

Why did Bailan go to such lengths for such a small person like me?I do not understand!

Why is it that the more I don't want to take on so many responsibilities, the more I am forced to breathe?

Dinner is eaten with everyone in the dining room.Because it is Christmas, the food on the table is rich and varied.But it was supposed to be a day when everyone gathered together happily singing songs, eating delicious roast chicken, talking and laughing, but the children were all silent.They just sat there one by one, mechanically eating the food in their mouths like marionettes.

Regarding this, Sister Maria still only let out a long sigh.

"How about we sing?" I put down the tableware in my hand, tried to force a smile, and suggested.

The children who had lowered their heads to eat, were all taken aback for a moment, then raised their heads to look at me with a dull expression on their faces.

"Today is Christmas! Shouldn't everyone be happy? Is there any child who can sing, come out and perform for us?"

A silence.

"demon……"

A small voice came from beside him.I turned my head and saw a thin young man sitting there, holding a spoon tightly in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, as if he was enduring something.

"what are you talking about……"

"You devil!!"

Before the words fell, the child seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, slapped the table and stood up, staring at me with dark blue pupils.

"Do you know, it's all because of you that we became like this! If it wasn't for you, those big guys wouldn't have come! You broom star! You devil!!"

I wanted to persuade him to calm down, but I was drenched head-on by the soup in his bowl.The soup ran down my hair, and some fell down my face.I suddenly felt my nose sour, and I didn't know what to say.

"Andrew, sit down for me! Sit down and think about it!!" Sister Maria was furious, and after shouting, no one dared to speak anymore, "Come on Lucia, I'll take you to the bathroom .”

After saying that, I left the dining hall under the leadership of Sister Maria to wash myself.
