Paranoid Raiders Manual [Quick Pass]

It was raining heavily.

The entire city of S was shrouded in rain and fog.

When she got off the plane, it was raining heavily, so Qiao Xi had no choice but to go to the hotel first.

After a short rest after a meal, the gloomy sky cleared up a little.

By this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

……

The location of the Sunshine Welfare Institute is still in the old place.

Over ten years, the city has changed a lot.

She took out her phone and checked the navigation, and Qiao Xi drove there.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, I stood at the gate of the familiar yet unfamiliar orphanage.

Qiao Xi happened to bump into the dean who was about to go out.

In her 50s, she can see that she is well maintained, energetic, and walking like flying.

"Auntie Dean!"

Qiao Xi stopped her who was about to go out.

"Are you...?" Recognized as soon as he left the door, the dean stopped in his tracks and pushed the glasses on his face: "May I ask what you can do for me?"

She didn't recognize Qiao Xi in front of her.

Qiao Xi was not surprised by this.

Because at this time, she has indeed changed a lot.

Shaking her short hair that just reached her shoulders, she squinted her eyes and greeted her: "Auntie Dean! I'm Qiao Xi!"

"I am back!"

After 12 years.

She is finally back.

"Qiao Xi..." The wrinkles on his face trembled slightly, and he murmured the name repeatedly. The dean stood where he was, unable to react for a long time.

Time is the cruelest executioner, even if it is the children she has brought up, she can't guarantee to remember all of them.

at last.

After several minutes of silence.

She remembered.

"Ah! It's you! That abducted child!" The frown slowly relaxed, and the dean smiled slightly, kindly and tenderly: "It's been more than ten years! You've grown up so much now..."

"I remember when you first came to the orphanage...you were only this tall..."

Stretching out his hand to compare his waist, the dean asked cheerfully, "Are you here to play today?"

"No, auntie." Seeing that the person opposite finally remembered, Qiao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The news that the little uncle brought back before had affected her after all. She was really worried that no one would remember it when she came back.

But at present, it seems that she should be worrying too much.

If the dean can think of himself, he will definitely think of Ruan Xue.

Thinking of this, the smile on Qiao Xi's face became brighter.

"Auntie Dean... Do you remember Ruan Xue? The girl who came to the orphanage with me."

"...Ruan Xue...?" There was a moment of confusion in her eyes, and the dean's aunt blinked, thinking: "You said you came with you..."

Was there anyone else besides her?

The memory seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of fog, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't remember it at all.

"The Ruan Xue you mentioned... I have no impression..." The words that were about to blurt stopped here, facing Qiao Xi's anxious and restrained eyes, the dean's head suddenly went blank.

Immediately afterwards, her thoughts were forcibly stripped away. At this moment, she couldn't control herself!

"That... I remembered..."

She heard her own smiling words.

"Ruan Xue was adopted not long after you left..."

……

"adoption?"

Frowning, Qiao Xi couldn't believe the answer.

That person didn't want to go with her, but went to someone else's house after she left?

Besides…

"She left at a young age?

never came back? ' she asked.

"Yeah..." There was a soft smile on her kind face, and the head aunt nodded: "About a week or so after you left... I can't remember exactly."

"..."

After confirming the time of that person's departure, Qiao Xi's doubts became even greater.

wrong.

Not right.

That person didn't follow the timeline in his memory.

How could he leave after he had just left for a week?

Why is she so impatient?

The more she thought about it, the more weird she felt, Qiao Xi's eyeballs moved, and she couldn't help but observe the person in front of her.

There is a smile on the familiar face, which has not changed a bit for so long.

His eyes are dull, and he can obviously feel dull...

Even stranger...

She didn't move...

It seems to be fixed.

"Auntie Dean? What's wrong with you?" Qiao Xi called out tentatively.

In the next second, the person on the opposite side replied.

"It's nothing, why do you ask that." She said.

His demeanor hasn't changed a bit, it's still as stiff as copying and pasting.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi suddenly had the feeling of facing a robot.

"..."

How could this be?

Why is the dean in this state?

Like a programmed robot, her every move seems to be strictly controlled.

And when we first met...

The other party is obviously not in this state yet.

That is to say...

Her eyes flickered, and Qiao Xi suddenly had a chilling thought.

Someone is in front of her...

Take control of the dean...

"It's nothing!" Smiling as if she didn't know anything, Qiao Xi shook her little head and asked casually: "Auntie Dean, do you know who adopted Ruan Xue? In our orphanage, There should be a record!"

Every adopted orphan needs to be approved at various levels, and it cannot be taken away casually.

In the orphanage, there must also be information left to facilitate future investigation.

If that person is adopted.

That must be recorded.

"Ah... record..." The blunt expression was blank for a moment, the dean moved his lips, and said as if reciting lines: "There is no record."

"There were a few thieves in the orphanage in the past few years, so the records from ten years ago have long since disappeared..."

"For this reason, we also reported to the police, but there was no monitoring, and we couldn't find it at all... we had to let it go."

……

The dean's aunt's gentle explanation sounded next to her ears. Qiao Xi clenched her fists tightly, but her mood sank and sank.

Sure enough.

Nothing at all.

She couldn't find it at all.

"I understand..." Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi let go of her hand, and there was no more smile on her face.

"If that's the case...then there's no way."

Staring fixedly at the dean's face, she refused to let go of even the slightest change.

"Auntie Dean, thank you for telling me this..." She said with bright eyes, "I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first..."

The voice fell.

She stood there quietly without moving.

next second.

The person opposite...has changed.

The cheeks twisted and twitched slightly, and the dull pupils regained the look that a human should have.

In just a blink of an eye, the dean successfully transformed from an emotionless 'robot'.

"Are you leaving?" Looking at her with a smile, the dean reminded her very understandingly: "Then you pay attention to safety."

Completely appreciating the whole process of the other party's change, Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and spit out a word faintly.

"it is good."

……

……

The sky that had just cleared was cloudy again.

The thunder of 'rumbling' continued to sound, and heavy rain was coming.

Hiding behind the big tree beside the gate of the orphanage, Qiao Xi stared helplessly at the dean who had finished talking with her, then turned and walked back.

The door of the orphanage closed slowly, and the other party's shadow could no longer be seen.

Until this time, Qiao Xi dared not confirm.

Auntie Dean...has no plans to go out.

In this case...

Why did she meet her by such a coincidence?

Because of…

Do you know you can come by yourself?

The bright pupils were covered with a layer of shadow. Standing under the tree, Qiao Xi's whole demeanor began to change.

Twelve years of training brought her back to peak form.

Those imperceptible details, as well as some shocking assumptions, began to connect in her mind one by one.

And the memory about this world was also taken out separately.

From meeting to parting…

From bewildered to stunned...

At this moment, Qiao Xi's brainstorming brought her a whole new world.

Not the original world in memory.

It's not the real world either.

It is a new world full of small thoughts and small actions.

Ruan Xue.

Her Cher...

is everything in common.

It is also the beginning of everything.

"Did you do it on purpose..." Looking up at the gloomy sky, Qiao Xi said with concentration and seriousness: "You know I can see it."

"You know I'm going to start wondering..."

As if talking to herself to the sky, she laughed at herself.

"As expected of you."

The 'ruling god' of this world.

……

…………

Jingle Bell--

The hurried bell rang as expected.

Taking out her mobile phone from her pocket, Qiao Xi knew who was calling and what to do without having to look at it.

"Uncle." She answered the phone.

"Qiao Xi! Your grandma is sick! I have something to do and I can't leave, so you can come back and take care of her for a while!" On the phone, the little uncle's anxious voice followed.

Holding the phone tightly, Qiao Xi withdrew her upward gaze.

"I see..." She smiled slowly: "I will go back obediently, and I will stay in country N obediently..."

until the set time.

……

she thinks.

She may understand the routine of this world.

Same as the track in memory, she needs to do what she should do within the set time.

In other words, the world is forcing her to walk according to her memory again.

When to meet, when to leave, when to come back...

It's like a set program, she just needs to follow it step by step.

"..."

After slowly hanging up the call with her little uncle, Qiao Xi pursed her lips and took a deep look in the direction of the orphanage.

she knows.

The man is watching.

Also know that she is everywhere.

omniscient.

Yes…

Like that guy once said.

"gone."

She opened her mouth silently, and left a word with a smile on her face.

"See you in three years."

According to the trajectory given by this world, she will not return to China until three years later.

Then she met that person as her cohabiting roommate.

Licking her dry lower lip, Qiao Xi suddenly had expectations.

Living together...

with her again...

……

So, within a day of returning to China, Qiao Xi boarded the plane to country N again.

Only this time, her mood had completely settled down.

And her birthday.

Just passing quietly on the way flying back and forth.

……
