A bucket fell from the stairs, and the panic on the child's face appeared almost instantly. He glanced downstairs in fear, and there was a small foot beside the bucket that fell on the ground.

The sound of high heels slowly came up from under the stairs, and Ding Bai saw the child next to him shrank his neck.

When someone walked in, the child almost disappeared in the shadow of the corner.

This kind of sound attracted people from all directions to come, but only the banker was in this group, and the children who were cleaning carefully just shrank in the corners and did not dare to appear.

Before everyone could make a sound, the children shrunk to the side tremblingly held a meeting and apologized: "I'm sorry, the dean's mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean it."

The child's voice trembled constantly, every word was trembling, and it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying.

Ding Bai saw clearly the so-called dean's mother in the mouth of the child. The woman's shoulder-length short hair was pressed against her thin cheeks, her shoulders showed sharp corners, and her dark red lips were divided into a well-defined face. bright outside.

Before she could speak, Ding Bai felt the indifferent and serious aura emanating from the other party.Her eyes were almost staring at the child who was huddled in the corner, and her lips moved slightly to the sides, as if she wanted to say something.

"It was me." Ding Bai stood up before she could speak, "I knocked down the bucket."

The woman's eyes shifted from the child in the corner to Ding Bai's body, she moved her lips and said, "Is it really you?"

"It's me." Ding Bai said firmly, he saw a playful look on the woman's face.

The woman's eyes turned on Ding Bai's face a few times, and her tone changed, as if she was warning: "Those who have been returned, your value is not much anymore."

Ding Bai was confused by this sentence, but what made him even more confused was that the woman wanted to leave after saying this sentence, as if she was planning to let them go.

When the woman was about to leave, there was another footstep downstairs, and everyone's eyes turned to where the sound came from. Chen Zhifei happened to come up from downstairs.

In the narrow corridor, Chen Zhifei met the woman named Dean face to face.

A slight surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

At this time, Ding Bai's heart tightened, Chen Zhifei's identity here was unclear, because he entered the game with Ding Bai, and he was like a bug at this time.

Although Chen Zhifei hadn't shown any flaws before, it might not be so easy to meet this woman.

The woman took a deep look at Chen Zhifei, and then left, which made Ding Bai's so many guesses and concerns come to an end indistinctly.

Ding Bai breathed a sigh of relief after the dean left. He stepped forward to hold Chen Zhifei back: "Why do I feel like she doesn't care much about your existence?"

Not only that, Ding Bai found that Chen Zhifei really seemed like a bug in this gambling game. Obviously, his situation should be the most eye-catching existence at the moment, but whether it was the middle-aged man last night or the dean just now They acted like they couldn't be seen.

"Maybe it's because I don't have an ID card now." Chen Zhifei said, explaining his current situation.

Although I don't know the reason, the suits and numbers on the golden flower card in his hand have disappeared, including what he mentioned to Ding Bai before, he can no longer see the door.

At this time, he seemed to be a character forgotten by the game, and this situation appeared very suddenly, as if after he remembered Ding Bai.

The way that woman looked at him just now gave him a very strange feeling, but at the moment he still can't explain it to Ding Bai.

Ding Bai didn't know what Chen Zhifei was thinking at the moment, but he just followed his meaning and understood him as a person who was dispensable in the game because he didn't have a golden flower card status.

"Does that mean that with your identity, you can help us cheat openly?" Ding Bai stood on the stairs, looking down at Chen Zhifei.

Speaking of cheating, Chen Zhifei suddenly thought of Ding Bai who wanted to exchange a kiss for some information.He smiled helplessly at Ding Bai: "It should be possible."

After this episode, these children have been trembling all the time, and their bodies are full of tension.

Even seemed less aggressive at mealtimes.

Ding Bai felt that the tension emanating from them seemed to indicate something, and he planned to find some time to ask these children what they were afraid of?Or why I am afraid of this so-called 'Dean's mother'.

During the lunch break, the whole dormitory building was surprisingly quiet.

This kind of quietness made Ding Bai feel very strange. A child with an average age of about ten years old would take such a quiet lunch break?

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one there, they quietly went out.

"I didn't feel anything strange." Du Qi whispered behind Ding Bai, "In fact, this orphanage feels very formal to me, and the things taught by the teachers in the classroom all morning are nothing. Weird place."

"But this matter itself is very strange. Is the game supposed to be like this?" Du Qi frowned and said, which is something he couldn't understand at all.

"Of course it shouldn't be like this, so aren't we looking for a problem?" Ding Bai said, looking at the room number, "This is it."

It's just that before they opened the door, they heard soft sobbing inside, someone was crying.

He gently opened the door and walked in, and saw several children curled up on the bed, but none of these children had the one who had spoken to him before.

Ding Bai's arrival was like an eagle entering a rabbit's nest, disturbing the whole area.With tears still hanging on their faces, several children looked at the passerby in horror.

Ding Bai looked at an empty bed, the child who had spoken to him was gone, and judging from the current situation, the child might have been taken away.

Fortunately, he saw the little boy again before the lights were turned off.

It's just that when Ding Bai asked him this time, the child's eyes showed a daze and panic.

He hurried back to the room, closed the door and disappeared.

At night, before the lights were turned off, Ding Bai stood at the window and looked down, it was pitch black outside.At noon, in the children's room, he could look at the opposite building through the window. Unlike the dormitory building they were in, the windows of the opposite building were opaque, and it seemed that even light could not shine inside.

According to those children, the dean and all the staff lived in that building, and there was a place called the observation room in that building.

Ding Bai also asked about the observation room, but none of these children had ever entered that building, or none of them had stepped into that building on their own initiative.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Zhifei looked at Ding Bai in front of the window and asked.

"I communicated with that child." Ding Bai said, "He said some strange things." Ding Bai told Chen Zhifei what he had heard from the child.

"But I'm a little unclear." Ding Bai said, "That child said to me, 'People who are worthless will be abandoned here.' An orphanage, what value can the children here have?"

Chen Zhifei frowned when he heard Ding Bai's words, he always felt that he seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere.

"Moreover, the dean also said to me, 'Those who have been returned, you are of little value.'" Ding Bai did not notice Chen Zhifei's change, and continued, "The people who have been returned, describe us, What exactly does that mean?"

As Du Qi said, this gamble seems to be normal, but it is full of doubts.

And their original plan to draw some words from those children who were outside the margins was interrupted by the child who was taken away.

Ding Bai deeply felt at this moment that their appearance would really take away the value of those children.

All night, Chen Zhifei didn't say much, it seemed that he started thinking when he heard Ding Bai say that.In fact, his memory seems to have recovered a lot, and he remembered the moment when he met Ding Bai and the moment when he was a croupier, but he didn't have the memory before he became a croupier.

The sense of familiarity brought about by what Ding Bai just said seems to come from that section that has been missing from the beginning.

It was as if a switch had been touched, causing him to fall into deep thought.

In the middle of the night, the sound of knocking on the glass reappeared.Chen Zhifei, who was so preoccupied with one sentence, still hasn't fallen asleep yet, with Ding Bai curled up beside him, he turned his head and stared blankly at the face outside the glass.

To Chen Zhifei, fear is like a vegetarian who hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and gradually forgets the smell of meat.He stood up and walked to the window, meeting the blurred face.

The sound of small stones hitting the window clicked and clicked, and he suddenly had an idea. This action was not a signal that he wanted to come in, but a signal.

In the haze, he heard a voice saying: "Chen Zhifei, go quickly."

Then the face on the window disappeared.

In an instant, many neglected fragments flooded up.

Chen Zhifei suddenly had some ideas, why did everyone become a child but he remained the same?Why did he become a special existence in this game?

Like Ding Bai, he originally thought that he came in through Ding Bai's door, so no matter what, he should be a supporting role.And those states that are incompatible with other dealers should also be like the BUG phenomenon they understand.

But when he was aroused by Ding Bai's words just now, which meant he felt familiar, a strange feeling also came up.

Perhaps, he is the 'protagonist' of this bet.

Ding Bai on the bed turned over and wrapped the quilt under his body.Chen Zhifei walked back to the bed and hugged Ding Bai who was curled up into a ball from behind.

That night, Chen Zhifei had a very strange dream.

In the dream, his angle of view was very low, as if someone was leading him, walked to a high doorway and handed his hand to another person.

Then the scene began to change, and everything he saw in the orphanage during the day began to mix with his fragmented dreams, and he couldn't tell which was real and which was a dream.

It was a big room, and there was no one in the room. There were many picture frames hanging on the wall that looked like murals, but they didn't seem to be.He couldn't see clearly.

Several people who couldn't see clearly pointed at him, and the last person said, "Follow them."

And then the dream started to get blurry, so blurry that he couldn't see anything.

Ding Bai struggled a bit, and Chen Zhifei's hand holding him became tighter and tighter, so tight that he felt he couldn't breathe, and finally he struggled to break free.

He shook his brows and frowned tightly at Chen Zhifei. When he saw Chen Zhifei opened his eyes, he asked, "Are you dreaming?"

Chen Zhifei opened his eyes in a daze, and after a while he replied, "It seems so."

"What does it seem to be..." Ding Bai said, and suddenly found that he didn't hear the sound of knocking on the window tonight, "but the sound of knocking on the window didn't appear?"

"I just came here, and left after saying a word to me." Chen Zhifei said.

"Talking to you?" Ding Bai suddenly didn't understand.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhifei said something to him: "Ding Bai, I suddenly feel that this bet seems to be related to me."
