soul stone

"Give me back my things." Seeing that he didn't answer, the girl repeated it again, and then looked up at him fixedly, as if she was about to nail him into the floor.

"I don't know what you're talking about." After a few seconds of silence, Villar finally spoke.

"While I was away, you stole the earrings I put in my brother's hand."

Use declarative sentences instead of interrogative sentences, pretty sure. "Why do you say I took it?"

"There are witnesses." The girl nodded slightly.

Villar's heart tightened, but on the surface he just blinked.eyewitness?impossible.There was no one else in the house at the time, except him and the little boy, and the only living thing was a cat on the windowsill.There were always stray cats around the convent, and the nuns were much kinder to the cats than they were to them.

"Okay, return it to me quickly, that earring is very important to us." The girl stretched out her left hand, palm up.

Looks pretty sure.That's right, if the "witness" thing was just bullshit, she couldn't have targeted him so quickly.Could it be that she could talk to cats?

and cats?Villars snorted and shrugged, amused at the absurd idea.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of the hum.The girl squinted her eyes, and said in a soft but obviously cold voice: "You don't want to pay it back?"

"You said there were witnesses. Who?"

"That's a secret, you can't say it."

"Look, you have absolutely no evidence to speak of."

After that, Villar turned and left.If you continue to entangle with this inexplicable girl, the wonderful morning reading time will be ruined.

No footsteps were heard behind.Well, she shouldn't have followed.

Just as he was thinking, the world in front of him suddenly turned upside down.Villar felt his face hit the cold hard stone floor, and someone on his back pressed hard to prevent him from turning over.Before he could breathe, a slender white finger stretched out in front of his eyes, and the fingertip stopped less than one centimeter away from the eyeball.

"Give it back to me," said the girl's clear but cold voice from above, "otherwise you won't even think about reading any more."

Villar tried to move, but his hands were clasped behind his back, his legs were trampled to death, and he couldn't move.

Since entering the gates of this monastery, no child has ever possessed such skills.There used to be older children who bullied him because of their size, but since he mastered the location of all kinds of medicines here, everyone is vying to curry favor with him.Only he can save them when they are sick, and the nun has always turned a blind eye to this kind of theft.That's the rule here.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, the girl increased her strength in her hand.Villar couldn't help crying out in pain.

"I'll give you three seconds, and if you don't hand it in by then, I'll dislocate your left hand." The girl's voice was undulating, just like the notification tone before leaving a message on the phone.

"The earrings are in the right trousers pocket."

The finger in front of him disappeared quickly, and Villar felt it get into the pocket of his trousers and groped against his waist for a while.After a while, the movement of the fingers stopped, and all kinds of restraints on the body were withdrawn instantly, as if entering the eye of a typhoon from a storm area.

After getting the earrings, the girl turned and left without saying a word.Villar finally stood up, patted the clothes, and shouted to the girl's back:

"As long as I want, I can take it back anytime!"

The figure stopped and turned his head slightly.

"No more chance. I...will always be by his side."

Villar was noncommittal to this declaration of defense, but kept watching that figure who was as thin as himself until she disappeared around the corner.Then, go forward along the original road, sit down in the old place and read a book.

Half surprised, half frustrated, he found he couldn't see.My stomach growled, and it was almost time for breakfast.

It was the girl who ruined his reading plans.

The concession just now was just because he didn't want to fight with her.Fighting outside the classroom, if the nuns found out, they would be thrown into the lion cage.Moreover, although the earring is beautiful, it is not expensive, so it is worth noting.

Having said that, the rule here is that only when you are present can you eat.How can her half-dead brother get food?

It's time for breakfast.When Villar walked into the restaurant and sat down in the old seat, a group of people immediately surrounded him, begging him to help steal this and that.While dismissing the children who were mostly older than him, he wondered about the girl's presence.Suddenly, the noisy restaurant quieted down.Starting with the child near the door, everyone's eyes turned to the door one by one.Villar saw at a glance that the girl in the early morning was slowly walking in while supporting his brother.She looked around the hall, blinked when she saw him, then chose an empty seat in the corner, helped her brother sit down first, and then sat down herself.The younger brother kept coughing and seemed to be weak.

Actually brought her younger brother here, it seems that she knew this rule from somewhere.

The nuns, in black dresses and black hoods, handed out glasses of milk and shallow wooden tubs of cereal to the children as they counted the numbers.The types of food are simple, just enough to fill the stomach, not much better than ordinary orphanages.

"Children," Mother Teresa announced loudly, clapping her hands together, "it's time for prayers before meals."

The whole table fell silent immediately, everyone lowered their heads and closed their eyes, clapped their hands together and silently recited prayers like thanking Allah for giving me food.It wasn't until the nun announced the start of the meal that the clinking of glasses and plates was heard.

This picture of a pious monastery meal, Villar laughed in his heart hundreds of times.It is obviously a group of abandoned people, but they are kept in the dark like fools, and they still have to thank God, which is extremely ridiculous.

How long will it take to stay in this ridiculous place before I can see the outside world?

"Hey, what are you coughing for? It's so noisy that Miss Ben can't eat."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Tian coughed even worse.Xue Ye turned her head and saw a ten-year-old blonde curly-haired girl two seats away, staring at her younger brother with her hips on her hips, her eyebrows raised high, her eyes seemed to be looking at the door mat.

"I'm sorry, my younger brother is sick, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." Xue Ye lowered her head.The background sound of apologizing is Xia Tian's uncontrollable dry cough.

The golden curly hair narrowed his beautiful blue eyes: "Sick? Then don't come here to eat. Really, maybe it will be contagious! Quedi, Tucker, I leave it to you, get him out of here."

As she spoke, two big boys about eleven or twelve years old stood up from the seats on her left and right, and walked towards Xia Tian who was curled up with a cough.Like an eagle pouncing on its prey, the boy walking in front suddenly grabbed the wooden basin in front of him and threw it towards the door. Hulala, the porridge spilled out.Xia Tian opened his eyes wide in fright, and then burst into tears.The Cereal Throwing Boy reaches out to grab Summer's hair.

Villar's thoughts were interrupted by a scream.Hearing the reputation, it was near the girl's position.As expected.Anyone?The blonde curly-haired lady, Lily, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes bulging like fish eyes.At her feet, a big boy fell to the ground covering his eyes, curled up in pain, screaming like a dying pig.Villar recognized that it was Lily's follower Tucker.Another shorter, dark-skinned follower of Banquiti, stuck against the wall, not daring to move.The little boy with a cough didn't cough or cry, just stared blankly at his sister.The girl walked up to the rolling Tucker, reached out and grabbed something and pulled it out.Another burst of pig-killing screams.

Ignoring Tucker's yelling, the girl picked up the wooden spoon for scooping oatmeal—Villal could see clearly now that it was bloody and bloody—and pointed it straight at the black Pique as if she were raising a sword. Turning to the blond lady Lily again.

"No one is allowed... to touch my brother."

The audience was silent, except for Tucker's screams.

"what happened?!"

With a bang, the nun burst in, a shrill scream that seemed to penetrate the entire hall.From Villars' point of view, the screams had alarmed the nuns who were having breakfast next door, and the situation was very bad for the girl.

The scene in front of them was obviously beyond the expectations of the nuns.They all turned pale and covered their mouths.Seeing this, the children, who were already impatient, also became agitated.

Mother Teresa was the one who calmed down the fastest. She whispered a few words to another nun before leaving the restaurant.The other nuns reacted one by one, walked around the table, and shouted loudly: "Quiet! Children, be quiet! Sister Moelle will be here in a while. Please stay in the dining room until you find out the cause of the incident. Walk around, don't make any noise! ​​Be quiet!"

As soon as the nuns circled the long table for half a circle, Dean Mo Ailei rushed to the scene, bent down, and asked about the incident in a loving tone.

"Who hurt your eye, boy?"

"That...that new girl..." Tucker covered his eyes with one hand, blood flowed down between his fingers, and the other hand flicked in the air, but pointed at Miss Lily, which made Lily shake her head in fright: "No Me, not me, it's her!"

Mo Aili straightened her waist and walked towards Oyagi Yukiyo.

"You hurt him?"

"Ah."

"……why?"

"He bullied my brother."

Mo Aili's crooked eyebrows and eyes widened a little, which seemed incredible to the girl's confession.However, the surprise was fleeting, and within a second, she raised her loving smile again.

"What a good sister who loves her brother, the Lord will bless you."

"Take my brother back to the room." After a short pause, Sister Moelle pointed to Tucker who was rolling on the ground, then pointed to Xue Ye, and instructed the other nuns, "Take them to the basement."

The last three words made Villar's hand holding the milk glass tremble, and his teeth collided crisply against the mouth of the glass.

"Basement", that is, "lion cage".
