A slime came out of the pillar

Without the cover of low dark clouds, the stars are extraordinarily bright tonight. The orphanage shrouded in stars is silent, and the children are peacefully immersed in their dreams. Everything seems to be as peaceful as usual.

The old-fashioned swing clock in the corridor made a muffled sound, announcing the arrival of midnight. Through the long corridor, in the infirmary on the side of the children's bedroom, an orange-haired girl was curled up on the hospital bed, with her head deep Buried deeply between her knees, her constantly shrugging shoulders revealed her emotions at the moment.

The thin, white-haired boy appeared in her mind again. He stood in front of the door in a suit and a top hat, carrying an empty suitcase, still looking at her tenderly with those blue eyes, and whispered to her Farewell, as if he was just going to return after traveling far away, instead of embracing death.

Norman...

She clenched the fabric on both sides of her waist with her hands, and gritted her teeth to suppress the sadness that was constantly filling her heart, but she still couldn't stop the tears that kept rolling from her eyes.

The gentle Norman, the Norman who would hold her hand tightly and give her strength, the Norman who always comforted her when she was down... is no longer there.

She was lying silently in the dark room alone, with strong sadness sweeping up from the bottom of her heart, like a beast with its bloody mouth wide open, slowly swallowing her inch by inch.

Powerless to resist.

What did Norman sacrifice for? She is very clear, knowing that she should not be depressed here, she should continue to cheer up and lead everyone out of this cage, but...

"Emma?"

The call that came into her ears suddenly made the girl sitting on the bed stiff. She lifted her face up, and saw a mass of white flowing substance slowly crawling in from under the door through the blurred eyes of tears, and then condensed Formed into a white ball, moved to the side of the bed and looked at her uncertainly.

After saying goodbye to Muxica and Songshi, Chloe walked through the forest and saw GF Farm soon.In consideration of time, he did not cross the bridge, but risked almost falling into the abyss, stood on the edge of the cliff and used spider silk to swing to the fence of the farm, and then arrived at the orphanage unimpeded. Emma was found by the voice.

He looked at Emma, ​​who was obviously crying, in confusion, and then noticed her leg in plaster, and tightened his non-existent eyebrows: "What's wrong with your leg?"

Uncharacteristically, Emma didn't answer immediately, but looked at him blankly.Chloe looked at Emma, ​​who had completely lost her vitality, and instantly realized the seriousness of the problem, and couldn't help but increase the concern in her tone: "What happened? Where are Ray and Norman?"

Emma in front of her was still silent, but she moved. She raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face. Although she had stopped the tears, she still looked like she was about to cry. He stretched out his arms and rushed towards him.

"Whoa--Chloe..."

"Watch out for your feet... wait, don't rub your snot on me, I hate snot!"

Chloe was finally defeated after a struggle. At this moment, he was forced to be held in Emma's arms. After listening to her whimpering about what happened in the past few days, he was still a little unbelievable: "Norman He...was shipped?"

Emma answered him with silence.

"Well, your mother is a cruel person." Chloe struggled to jump out of Emma's arms and moved towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Emma asked uneasily from behind.

"Of course to save Norman!"

Chloe gritted her teeth, feeling resentful in her heart, damn it, he clearly promised Coney that he would rescue all the children here, but now...

"It's useless, it's been five hours since Norman left, even if you rush over..." Emma's voice was still trembling with deep sadness: "Besides, Norman won't allow it, He's determined to sacrifice himself."

After Emma murmured words of dissuasion, she found that Chloe had stopped where she was. From the back, she seemed to be quite shocked, and she seemed to be trembling silently.

"Chloe?" Emma couldn't help calling him worried.

Chloe, who was concerned and questioned, had to turn his head away, only to see that large transparent liquid was secreted from his eyes. If the liquid that flowed out was gathered together, the total volume would be larger than himself.

"I'm sorry...Emma," Chloe finally couldn't help it, and only heard him say with self-blame in a crying voice: "If I came back sooner..."

He has obviously worked very hard, fighting against those wild ghosts in the forest, swallowing no matter how disgusting things are in order to become stronger, and flying alone for so many days to find information, why is he still unable to prevent the children on the farm from being released? goods?

"It's not your fault, Chloe." When he cried like this, Emma couldn't care about her own sadness, and hurriedly comforted him: "Chloe, you have worked hard."

Her consolation unfortunately caused Chloe to break down even more: "I also feel that I have tried hard, but it is still useless... I am simply a waste..."

"It's not like this..." Emma saw his tears flow more and more fiercely, and she reached out to get the tissue on the table, but couldn't reach it because of her injured leg, looking very anxious.

"Knock knock knock."

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

……

"Dong, Gilda, this is Chloe, a friend of Kony's."

It was about one o'clock in the morning. Gilda and Dong secretly came to visit Emma after Isabella was resting. They were shocked when they saw Chloe, but they returned to normal soon.Although they have never seen creatures like slimes, children generally accept them very well, and they are also isolated from the world. Everything outside the farm is unknown to them, so they will not be surprised to see any creatures now. Too surprised.

At this moment, Chloe had calmed down and greeted the two children in front of her in a friendly manner.

"Kony's friend? But..." Hearing Emma's introduction, Dong's eyes widened unavoidably, and he hesitated to say anything.

"Well, Kony told me everything about you." Because of Kony's memory, Chloe has a strong sense of familiarity with all the children here: "Dong often takes Kony to play hide-and-seek, Jill Da and Ana taught Coney to braid hair together, right?"

Just now he suddenly learned the bad news of Norman being shipped out, and his mentality was a bit broken, but now he has recovered a lot, and even began to feel a little ashamed of crying in front of Emma just now.

Mentioning Coney, both Dong and Gilda couldn't help but have red eyes. Emma noticed that the atmosphere suddenly became sad again, and immediately asked, "Why do you come to see me so late?"

"That's it." Gilda remembered her purpose when Emma mentioned it. She and Dong looked at each other, and after getting a positive answer in each other's eyes, they stepped forward and took the The things were given to Emma.

It was a small box with a pen and a piece of paper.

Emma is very familiar with something like a small box, which is a transmitter shielding device made by Lei, but the pen and paper are just...

Emma glanced suspiciously at Dong and Gilda at the side, unfolded the paper, and couldn't help being taken aback when she saw the contents inside.

It was Norman's handwriting, which she had seen thousands of times and was extremely familiar with.

It turned out that before Norman left, he wrote down all his escape plans on paper, including the ropes, props, medical medicines, etc. that he needed to use.

After carefully reading the letter left by Norman, Emma's eyes were filled with determination, although she still had that weeping expression on her face, "Don't worry, Norman, we will definitely escape with all of us." Go, and no one will be let go."

"Emma, ​​that pen is..."

Compared with Norman's plan, Chloe paid more attention to the pen placed beside Emma.

It was a very ordinary pen, but the two letters W·M engraved on the pen body made him very concerned.

"This seems to be a pen left by my sister." Emma obviously also noticed the letters on the pen, she took the pen and looked at it carefully: "The original owner of this pen may be Mr. Minerva."

"Minerva? Someone who supports us outside?" Dong and Gilda looked at each other, and said with some hesitation.

"Emma, ​​lend me that pen to have a look."

"okay."

[This pen is equipped with a special chip that can be scanned by other instruments. 】

"Sure enough, this is the key to open the door under the Goldpond!" Chloe applauded for her IQ after she had a new discovery.

"Goldpond? Where is that?" The other three people present all looked confused.

Only then did Chloe remember that she was so busy crying just now that she forgot to tell Emma what he had heard, so she told the three of them about Goldpond.

After listening to his description, the faces of the three people in front of them were all pale. In the end, Dong opened his mouth first, and he took a deep breath: "The ghost's hunting ground... unexpectedly there are such cruel things... "Maybe they're in a good place now.

Indeed, such a thing is too scary for a child like them.

Compared with Dong and Gilda who were terrified and surprised, Emma next to her was lost in thought after listening to Chloe's narration, but when she spoke again, her tone was surprisingly excited: "Great!"

"Eh?"

I saw Emma's eyes lit up as if she had discovered a new world: "It turns out that some children were not eaten immediately after being shipped, but were sent to another place."

She cheered up instantly, and jumped off the bed regardless of her injured leg. Gilda on the side quickly stepped forward to support her worriedly. Not only did Emma not care whether she would fall down, but she turned around and held Gilda excitedly "Maybe our former partners are there! Maybe Norman is still alive! Gilda, we must escape!"

With her hands tightly held, Gilda raised her head and looked at Emma in a daze. She could feel the other person's body trembling slightly, obviously she should be just as scared...

"...Well." After three seconds, Gilda smiled and nodded: "Let's escape together, Emma."

"Hey, look." Just when they reached a consensus, Chloe suddenly said: "There is a string of numbers written in the pen."

The three turned their heads and found a girl with long white hair standing behind them, holding the pen in her hand.

Apart from the hair color, the other person's figure and appearance are very familiar to them... so familiar that they want to cry.

"What's the matter?" Chloe, who studied carefully with a pen in her hand, found that they were suddenly silent, and turned her head blankly, and found that the three people in front of her were all looking at her with red eyes.

Ah, he just patronized the imitation human form to hold the pen better, and forgot that his human form looks very similar to Ko Ni...

In order not to arouse Emma's sad memories before, he usually kept the slime prototype when he was on the GF farm, and never showed his human form in front of them.

Just as he was about to explain, he fell forward powerlessly in the next second, a sense of fatigue swept over his body, and he was involuntarily forced to return to the slime prototype.

It's over, forget that I can't maintain the mimicry for too long now, I have to go into hibernation mode now.
