I Wasn't Born Lucky

The knocking sound was getting closer and closer to Xiao Li, and the invisible "person" was knocking on the wall right next to his ear, every time it hit his heart.

Xiao Li didn't react at first, but after the voice clearly separated into different intervals and tones, a guess emerged in his mind——Morse code?

The little devil in this room seems to like this kind of hidden clues instead of saying it outright. Even the last time he was urged to leave, he insisted on writing a bad acrostic poem—if there is By chance, Xiao Li wanted to give the other party a book called "How to Write a Poem (Primary School Edition)".

After the last mora, the other party stopped beating, and the teddy bear, which was close to breaking, slowly took back the original white paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the corner.

Xiao Li recalled the number of times the tapping sound paused, one long sound, one short sound—N, E, W, S, P, A, P, E, R... Newspaper!

During the day, Xiao Li visited the whole building. There was no library here, but there was a reading room. At that time, it was clean and tidy, without any extra books.

If it is related to the newspaper, then the biggest possibility is in this place.

He picked up the flashlight and went directly to open the door. When Xiao Li turned around, there was a weak resistance acting on the corner of his clothes, as if that invisible "person" grabbed his corner of the clothes—— The black-haired child who had just reached the doorknob stopped moving: "Do you still want to play?"

In the huge mirror, the teddy bear turned around silently at some point, staring at Xiao Li with its wobbly button eye.

The invisible "person" did not answer, nor did any of the toys fall.

This... means you don't want to play?But the other party did not let him go.

Xiao Li doesn't know children very well. Even if he has a younger brother, Xiao Ming, he has never paid attention to each other, let alone taking care of children. He thought for a while, and hesitantly stretched out his hand in the direction of the corner of his clothes. , lifted the lump of air up a little clumsily.

——He used to watch neighbors take care of children when he was a child, and it seemed that the children would be very happy when they were held high like this.

The other party was probably startled by his actions and backed away. Xiao Li failed to touch anything, and the force that hindered his progress disappeared, and the teddy bear's eye that was about to fall off dangled in the air One lap, crumbling.

Seeing this, Xiao Li opened the door and walked towards the reading room in his memory.

While he was walking, little Huang Ben, who had been quiet for a long time for some reason, suddenly woke up, radiating light and heat in his pocket, Xiao Li ignored it, and planned to find the reading room first.

The corridors of this building are completely the same as last night, but the inconsistency is that there are cries and impact sounds from a distance. The sounds seem to be separated by a long distance, and there is only a faint movement.

Xiao Li came to the steps where the reading room was located, gently pushed open the door, and used the light of the flashlight to shine into the world inside the door.

It was a thick blood stain, stepping on it was like stepping on a sea of ​​blood. There were several spider-like ribbons hanging down in the room, covering the entire reading room. Except for the podium and bookshelves at the front of the room, it was covered with Lots of tables and chairs.

Xiao Li's steps are very small, the place is too slippery, if he falls down, he has no clothes to change.

The faint light of the flashlight moved forward little by little, and there were no traces of newspapers in conspicuous places, nor on the bookshelves and in the podium. There were leftover candy wrappers and shredded paper in the belly of the table.

In the end, Xiao Li found a stack of newspapers in the trash can in the inner corner. It was a stack of local evening newspapers. It was a year ago, and the paper was yellowed, with traces of time. The creases on it were obviously read a lot. Second-rate.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper was "The local heat has been over three months, and the weather forecast says that the temperature will not drop in a few more months", followed by gossip one after another. It seems that there is no information related to this orphanage.

Xiao Li was quite patient, and flipped through one by one until he stopped in the corner of one of the newspapers. It was a very small page: "Zhu Fei, a famous rich man in this city, died innocently and tragically. The cause of death is unknown. Just before the accident Donated more than 500 million yuan", followed by a personal introduction to Zhu Fei. In this report, Zhu Fei was a kind and generous person. We are working hard to solve the case.

Riches, groups, signs, and divisions of this day and night—

These few things formed a line in Xiao Li's mind.

He closed the newspaper and was about to throw it back into the trash can when he saw a phantom flash in front of him——

It was a child with very long bangs, which almost completely covered his eyes, and said to the little girl beside him at the door of the reading room: "Ni Ke, let's go to the toy room later, can you play with me for a while? "

The little girl is very thin, but she looks pretty and cute, with braids standing upright: "What are you playing? How do you know how to play? Teacher Wang said that I will be adopted soon, and I will leave this weekend. After I leave, you Who are you playing with?"

The little boy said: "...you have to go too."

"Well, it's the peak period recently, and many uncles and aunts want to adopt a second child." The little girl rubbed her apple-like face, "You have to work harder, cut your hair first, it's so uncomfortable to watch gone."

The little boy didn't speak, he raised his head and glanced at his companion, bit his lip: "Don't go."

"what?"

"If you leave, you won't be able to come back." The little boy said vaguely, "Listen to me, don't leave..."

"What are you talking about?" the little girl asked in surprise, "I will come back to see you when I have time."

At this time, a middle-aged man in a white coat walked up to the door of the reading room, with a stethoscope hanging on his chest, standing by the podium and waving to a little girl named Ni Ke: "Come on, Ni Ke, it's time."

The little girl laughed and ran towards him.

The remaining little boy slowly buried his face in his arms.

The illusion disappeared.

Xiao Li pursed his lips. He didn't go out directly, but stayed here for a while, took out the little yellow book from his pocket, glanced at it, and saw a line written on the pale yellow page: [I also want. 】

[You can't hug others. 】

【...You can only hug me. 】

Xiao Li: "... What do you want, hugs and hugs?"

Little Huang Ben: [I want them all. 】

[I want something more in-depth, such as you. 】

Xiao Li: "......"

He used to think that Xiao Huangben was a female ghost, so he regarded the other party's words as some unreasonable love, but now he has linked Xiao Huangben's existence with the man who suddenly appeared, Looking at these words now, he felt even more subtle.

Xiao Li went on to write: "You are him?"

He didn't directly say who it was, but he knew that the other party could understand.

Xiao Huang Ben paused, Xiao Huang Ben was thinking about how to respond, Xiao Huang Ben turned the page, Xiao Huang Ben was pretending to be dead.

Xiao Li snorted coldly, stuffed the little yellow book back, and was about to walk out of the reading room and return to the dormitory, but he hadn't stepped out yet, only to hear footsteps coming closer and closer from outside the door, another person was approaching here— ——Xiao Li raised his eyebrows slightly. He turned off the flashlight, took back his steps, and just stood in the corner, watching the figure approaching here, and then walked in.

The figure was a beautiful child with black hair, it was Xu Ying.

Xiao Li was standing in the corner. At this time, he was standing in the corner, almost blending into the darkness, and he couldn't be seen unless he was in front of him.

Xu Ying held her mobile phone in her hand and was looking at the place behind the podium. Perhaps because of nervousness, her breathing was very heavy.

She didn't dare to make a sound, so she had to walk forward step by step. At the same time, she was afraid that she would make a noise and attract the ghost, so Xu Ying covered her mouth with her other hand.

Xiao Li looked at it for a while, and before the other party was about to bump into him, he turned on his flashlight as a greeting.

In the boundless darkness, another beam of light suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ying. That beam of light was still facing a person's chin, illuminating another person's face from bottom to top. Xu Ying was almost scared out of her wits The seven souls are all gone - if it wasn't for that hand still covering her mouth, she would have screamed!

The next second, Xiao Li frugally turned off the flashlight again: "Miss Xu."

Xu Ying took three steps back. She was about to throw her mobile phone over just now. She touched her chest vigorously: "Why are you here?!"

"I got a clue, so I came here to take a look." Xiao Li explained, seeing that Xu Ying was really frightened, he said a few more words, "I heard footsteps, and I didn't know if it was a person or a ghost, so I disappeared. Light, I won't know it's you until you come in."

Xu Ying was a little sullen at first, thinking that this person was deliberately pretending to be a ghost, but after hearing this, she lost her anger and focused on the other party's first sentence: "You got a clue?"

Xiao Li pointed to the trash can beside him, but said nothing.

The little girl bent down to pick up the newspaper inside, flipped through it page by page, and also stayed on the report about Zhu Fei. Xu Ying showed a look of "it's true", she raised her head, and looked at the calm Xiao Xiao in front of her Li sized it up and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get the clue?"

Xiao Li: "Played with a ghost for a while, and won."

Xu Ying: "..."

Xu Ying:? ? ?

Xu Ying: "You played with a ghost... for a while? How?"

"Gobang." Xiao Li said.

The little girl was silent again——Xu Ying is a very powerful senior person. She has saved herself from danger many times with her own mind, and she also has a lot of props. She has seen all kinds of people, but she has never seen This Sherlock in front of him is... such a strange person.

So, this person disappeared when they were grouped before, is it also because of his specialness?

The way she found it by herself was very simple and stupid. She bypassed the stairs where the accident happened, and then found it from room to room.She has been to every room in front of her, some of which she just took a rough look at, and some of which she inspected carefully, but she did not expect to run into Xiao Li here—well, this person is unfathomable, just right to be with him Explore the truth here.

Xu Ying thought of this, and said decisively: "I already know the truth here."

When she spoke, she raised her chin slightly, showing off slightly.

She has always boasted of her intelligence, although she is very afraid of Sherlock and has the intention of wooing her, but this time an outsider finds the clue first, but she is not reconciled, and Sherlock missed what happened after the grouping, so she wants to be right The truth is also half-knowledgeable.

Xiao Li: "Then?"

Xu Ying was taken aback by his question.

The author has something to say: Xiao Huang Ben: He doesn't seem to like that man, so I don't want to admit it.
