A slime came out of the pillar

"Chloe, I brought a lot of books related to medicine, you can read them slowly."

In the library room of the orphanage, the little Phil staggered to the desk with books piled up higher than others, and put them all on the desk with all his might.

Strangely, there was no one else in the library except him, and then something even more chilling happened, the book he put on the table started to turn the pages by itself.

"Thank you, Phil." The next second, a voice appeared out of nowhere in the empty seat.

If you look carefully, you will find that the voice did not appear for no reason, and the book was not turned by yourself. The source of these weird scenes all came from the fist-sized white slime lying on the table.

It has been nearly a month since he entered the hibernation mode to recover last time. In order to avoid another sudden shipment accident, he did not leave the GF farm again, but stayed in the orphanage for self-improvement, and Emma and the others also Slowly implementing the escape plan step by step.

In order to ensure the success rate of escape and the survival rate after leaving the farm, Emma thought again and again, and finally decided to keep the children under the age of four on the farm and wait until two years later to rescue them.

And Phil was the only one among the four-year-olds who knew the truth.

These days, in order not to let Isabella suspect, Emma still pretends to be disappointed, and doesn't even communicate with Lei very much, because younger children will make Isabella lower her vigilance, and Chloe Yi usually stays with Phil.

A few days ago, Lei would occasionally sit in the library in a daze, but since Phil also often went to the library to read, he didn't come very often.

Phil is a very caring child. He would secretly put the sausage in his lunch pocket and bring it back to Chloe's room. After knowing that he didn't need to eat, he took the trouble to bring him various foods... and outdoors Insects caught while playing.

Chloe still remembered that a few weeks ago he had just learned how to adjust his body size, and when he was secretly practicing while hiding under the bed, Phil walked in with his hands covering something he didn't know, with a mysterious expression on his face.

"Look, Chloe, it's a ladybug." Phil showed what was hidden in his heart like offering a treasure, and deliberately moved closer to him.

Chloe didn't dare to take a closer look, and only vaguely saw a few black spots and small red insects on the back, and felt black in front of her eyes.

"How is it? Do you want to eat and see?" Phil, who had no idea how much pressure Chloe's eyes were under at the moment, looked at him with big innocent eyes blinking, and said his suggestion.

Listen, is this still human language?

Fortunately, Phil has a good hobby, reading.With the useful skill of "Great Sage", he has supplemented all kinds of medical knowledge during these days, and basically read some other books on chemistry, biophysics, although he doesn't know what his brain capacity is. Not as large as the capacity of the stomach, but it never hurts to read more books.

While flipping through the book, Chloe secretly swallowed and analyzed a few pages that she couldn't remember. She admired herself for being so studious.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door of the library. Chloe was startled, stopped turning the pages, and quickly hid behind the pile of books next to her.

The door was opened by a little girl, Chloe recognized her, she was a few months younger than Phil.

The girl quietly opened the door a crack, and after seeing that there was no one in the library outside of Phil, she opened the door without hesitation, and invited Phil loudly: "Phil, Do you want to come out to play? Dong and Gilda are showing you a new game, it’s very interesting.”

"You go, Lena." Phil raised his head from the book, rejecting the other party's kindness: "I want to finish this book today."

"Hey...is it "The Adventures of Ugo" again?" Lina's tone was full of disappointment: "Didn't you read it before?"

"Because the content is so exciting, I just want to watch it a few more times." Phil replied with a smile.

"All right……"

"Sorry, Lena, I will have fun with you tomorrow."

After Lena left, Chloe got out of the pile of books, slowly moved to Phil's hand bit by bit, and asked curiously: "Is this book really so good?"

The cover of the book in Phil's hand was printed with a big owl pattern, surrounded by a circle of Morse code. Chloe, who had already memorized the Morse code, could tell at a glance that it was a word expressing the meaning of "promise".

According to Emma, ​​it was because Phil discovered the Morse code drawn on the books in this series that they discovered Minerva.

Phil nodded seriously. Even though he had memorized the content of this book backwards, he still read it over and over again, "Because the author of this book is someone who is willing to help us."

What an obvious reason...

Although she was so slanderous, Chloe jumped to the page with interest: "What's the story here?"

"It's about the adventures of the protagonist Ugo around the world. There are snakes hiding in underground caves that devour people, and there are many strange plants, like sea anemones that store fresh water..."

Um?Why is there such a strong sense of familiarity?

Listening to Phil's description, Chloe felt that something was wrong.

He seems to have seen all these plants in the forest outside the farm wall, and maybe even eaten them...

"The sea anemone you're talking about isn't this one, is it?" Chloe thought for a while, mimicking the appearance of a plant he had preyed on before.

"Huh?" Phil looked at him, then looked down at the book, and when he looked up again, his eyes widened in surprise: "Chloe, you are exactly the same as the sea anemone in the book!"

……

"Does the book describe a lot of plants outside?" Emma sat in the infirmary, listened to Chloe's story, took the book handed by Phil, frowned and speculated: "Perhaps Mr. Minerva not only They want us to notice the existence of ghosts, and also want to teach us the knowledge of the outside world.”

"Maybe this book can be used as a guide after we escape." After reaching the conclusion, Emma rubbed Phil's head happily, "After we escape, we must have a good time with Mr. Minerva." thank!"

Since Minerva is so concerned about eating children, why does there still exist places like hunting grounds?

Looking at the happy Emma, ​​Chloe had doubts in his heart, but he didn't think about it, but turned his head and asked: "Emma, ​​how is your leg, is the medicine I gave you a few days ago useful?" ?”

When he was reading medical books, he found that many of the plants he had swallowed in the forest had the effect of healing wounds, so he tried to analyze them and synthesize new medicines. Emma was his first clinical trial patient.

"Very useful! My legs are almost healed."

Emma's leg was broken cruelly by Isabella. Normally, it would take at least two months to fully recover, but due to her relatively high recovery power and the addition of Chloe's potion, it only took Within a month her leg was almost healed.

But in order to confuse Isabella and let her relax her vigilance, Emma is still wearing a cast and crutches, looking sickly and lifeless.

I have to say that these children's acting skills are so good, if Chloe didn't know their plan, I would have thought that they had all given up on escaping and chose to accept the fate of being shipped.

Probably because I brought them up since they were young, Isabella knew them very well and knew that they didn't really give up, so she never took them lightly. While observing Emma silently, she actually noticed that There was something strange about Phil.

That day Chloe and Phil still spent the whole afternoon in the library until they heard the rattle in the hallway.

In the orphanage, except for important matters, the ringing bell usually only rings during the meal time. Phil looked up at the sunset outside the window and realized that it was already dinner time, so he put down the book in his hand and turned to Ke Roy said, "Then I'll go to dinner first, and I'll come back to you later."

Chloe nodded, "If you have a cake, you can bring me some, and I think it will be almost enough to get a little more data."

"Okay." Phil replied, jumping off the chair and walking towards the door. Before he could touch the doorknob, the door opened by itself.

"Phil, it's time for dinner." Isabella walked in with a smile, calling his name softly, but she pretended to glance at the library inadvertently, and pretended to be surprised: "Ah, Is Phil alone here?"

"... Well, I'm the only one reading." Phil responded with a normal expression, reaching out and grabbing the corner of Isabel's clothes: "Mom, I'm so hungry, let's go to the restaurant together."

Isabella touched Phil's head with a smile, and instead of responding to his words immediately, she walked towards the pile of books spread out on the desk.

Chloe, who shrunk her figure to the minimum and hid under the book, heard the approaching footsteps, feeling nervous and almost having stomach cramps.

"Really, Phil, you have to put the book back on the shelf after you finish reading it." Isabella looked helpless, and she sorted out the scattered books on the table as usual, and put them together one by one. Lift and swing back to the bookshelf behind him.

"...Mom!" When she picked up the book above Chloe's head, Phil on the side finally couldn't help but make a sound.

Isabella didn't seem to see Phil's nervous expression, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the book in her hand. It was a very ordinary plant encyclopedia.

Immediately afterwards, she made a sound similar to surprise, and Phil turned pale in an instant, and hurried to the table.

I saw a white flower that hadn't bloomed under the book, and Isabelle stretched out her hand to pick it up, turned to look at Phil, and casually asked, "What a beautiful tweed, it's Phil, are you in the woods?" Did you pick it?"

Phil swallowed, his panic had exposed himself just now, but he still pretended nothing happened and replied with a smile: "This is given to me by Lena, I want to make it a bookmark, but it's still a bookmark." Did not have time."

"I see." Isabella nodded, something flashed in her eyes, "Mom has never seen this kind of flower before, can you give it to me?"

"Huh? But it was given to me by Lina, and I like it too..."

Hearing Phil's disappointed tone, Isabella smiled and said nothing, put the flower in her hand back on the table, rubbed his head: "Then let's keep this flower for Phil, you Keep it safe, after all, this is a precious gift."

"Well, I will." Phil raised his head and smiled, took her hand coquettishly and dragged her to the corridor, "Let's go eat quickly, otherwise everyone should be in a hurry."

It was almost exposed... so dangerous.

When the footsteps of the two gradually faded away, Chloe, who was lying on the table, slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he imitated himself into the appearance of the Wei Du flower that he had swallowed before, and barely escaped the catastrophe.

It seems that Isabella is much more vigilant than he imagined, and even Phil has begun to be suspected.

It seems that in the past few days, he has to hide well and not have too much contact with other children.

Chloe thought so, and changed back to the prototype of the slime, jumped off the desk, he thought for a while, did not leave the library immediately, but turned around and climbed up the window sill, the soft light of the sunset in the sky was gradually replaced by the night, filling the sky The stars are about to reappear in the night sky.

Fortunately, such days will soon be over.
