At night, the lights in the corridor were switched on at intervals, so it was a little dim.
The sound of leather shoes hitting the wooden banister came from the wooden stairs … She stopped halfway. It was the director of the orphanage.
She seemed to be talking to someone.
She was on the phone.
Sister Selyn held her breath and squeezed together with Medanzo, listening carefully. She was very nervous, but she looked at Medanzo with excitement.
"… Okay, I got it. I will find the two children as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will not delay the time of the delivery … I know the consequences. "
The voice of the headmistress was a typical old and bitter type. Celine had been working in this orphanage for a few weeks and the headmistress had seen her several times. However, she did not dare to approach her several times.
The voice gradually faded away. The director did not go down the stairs. Instead, she suddenly turned back and walked up the stairs.
"She left." Medanzo released her hand that was covering Selyn's mouth.
Selyn's chest rose and fell a few times before she gradually exhaled. She said with lingering fear, "Director, you didn't notice, right?"
"Let's not stay here first," Medanzo suddenly asked, "Do you know which floor the siblings are staying on?"
"Follow, follow me," Sister Selyn said quickly.
…
The orphanage's dormitory building was very tall and big. It took them some time to reach the door of the back stairs of the destination floor.
"There are no guards patrolling outside, but there are four surveillance cameras in the corridor." Selyn stuck her head out to take a look. Then, she turned back and said, "Are … are we going to go in like this?"
"Let me think about it." Medanzo sat on the ground and took a puff from the pipe from time to time … There was really smoke coming out.
Selyn did not dare to disturb her, but she kept recalling what the director said when she eavesdropped. She could not help but hesitate. "You … Who do you think the director is talking to? And, what does' delivery 'mean? Did I hear wrongly? "
"If you misheard, then I misheard as well." Medanzo casually replied.
Celine opened her mouth and suddenly felt a chill. She subconsciously rubbed her arms.
"Come, grab my ear," Medanzo suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
…
— — Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, I know I was wrong!
— — How many times have I told you not to be naughty, but you still played pranks!
"Look, what's the matter?"
In the monitoring room in the courtyard, two expressionless women were motionlessly observing the huge split-screen in front of them.
"Nothing special."
"Yeah, maybe I'm being too sensitive. Let's look at the other places … We still haven't found the siblings. The principal is going to flip out."
At this moment, the door to the control room opened and a person walked in.
The two women who were watching the monitor turned around and their expressions changed slightly. They quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Director!"
The principal didn't say anything. Her eyes quickly scanned the various cameras on the huge screen. Her gaze quickly locked onto a corridor.
…
In the corridor, the young caretaker of the orphanage, Miss Celine, was pulling a child's ear and scolding him as she walked.
This immediately attracted the attention of the curious children in the room. They tried to open the door and poked their heads out to peek, but they were quickly scolded back by the fierce Miss Celine.
"Go back to your room and reflect on your actions!"
Ms. Selean came to a door, grabbed the child, and walked in. She then closed the door behind her.
The children were in an eight-person dormitory with four bunk beds. When Miss Celine grabbed Medanzo's ear and walked in, the children in the room all looked at this scene in surprise.
After closing the door, the newcomer Miss Celine immediately let go of the child who was grabbed by the ear … She seemed to be a little scared.
"This may be the most glorious moment of your life ~" Medanzo said with a faint smile, "Even [He] didn't pull my ear."
She didn't know who [He] was and only thought of him as a very important person?
Miss Celine awkwardly wiped her palms on her clothes and immediately looked at the children in the room. The caretaker in the orphanage had a strong deterrent effect on the children. The children were a little scared and didn't know what to do.
"Miss, Miss Celine, what, what's the matter?" A child who seemed to be the oldest among the children plucked up his courage and asked, "Who … who is he? He doesn't seem to be from our room."
Miss Celine and Medanzo looked at each other and calmed down. Miss Celine said, "He's with me. We'll talk about him later. I'm here to ask you something, about Little Ya and her brother. "
The oldest child's expression changed slightly. He didn't dare to look into Miss Celine's eyes. "Didn't you come to ask a few times before …"
"A few times?" Miss Celine was stunned and subconsciously looked at Medanzo.
Medanzo shrugged and said, "We can think of it, but it doesn't mean that others can't think of it."
— I didn't think of it!
"Yes … yes." The oldest child nodded. "They came a few times and asked if Little Ya came back. We would say that she hasn't come back yet and leave. "
Miss Celine nodded.
Medanzo suddenly came closer and squinted at the oldest child. "What did you say just now? You would say that? It sounds like you've discussed it beforehand … Did you know that someone would come to ask a few times? "
"Ah?" The oldest child panicked and quickly shook his head. "No, no!"
"Is there really nothing?" Metatro leaned in closer.
The oldest child didn't know why, but he seemed to be frightened. He sat on the ground and trembled. He looked very scared.
Miss Celine couldn't stand it but didn't say anything … She also felt that the child seemed to be hiding something.
"I don't know anything. We don't know anything!"
Medanzo frowned and suddenly looked out of the window. Outside the window, something was knocking lightly … Hearing the knocking sound, the children in the room suddenly panicked.
Miss Celine didn't say anything and walked directly to the window. However, the children in the room rushed to the window and blocked her. The oldest child even shouted, "Run!"
Seeing this, Medanzo went to the side and opened the window when no one was paying attention. A panicked child's face popped out of the window.
There was a child who was lying on the edge of the wall. When the window was suddenly opened, the child was shocked and couldn't stand still. It seemed that he was going to fall off the building.
Everyone was shocked.
At this moment, Sister Celine rushed out and grabbed the child's leg without hesitation. However, half of the nun's body was stuck in the window … Fortunately, she did not fall down.
"S-Hurry up and help me!" Celine shouted.
Metatro blinked and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He helped and dragged the people back, including the child who was climbing the wall.
This child wasn't Little Ya, nor was he Little Ya's brother.
…
"Say it! What's going on? "
Miss Celine looked sternly at the children who were standing in a row with their heads lowered, including the child who climbed the wall.
When the child was rescued, he was still carrying a small basket in his hand.
Miss Celine was very experienced in dealing with such situations. Seeing that the children didn't speak, she said directly, "You know, children who lie and break the rules will be locked up and starved according to the rules of the school. It's okay if you don't say it. You can be punished together … Besides, I'll take you to see the principal later. We have to tell him about this. "
"Don't take us to see the principal!" The children's faces turned pale instantly. Then, they pushed the responsibility to each other as if they wanted to find someone who would take the initiative to tell the principal.
In the end, the oldest child took all the responsibility and was elected by the others.
This child also looked like he had nothing to lose. "Okay, okay, I'll say it! He went to send food to Little Ya and the others! "
…
…
Outside the window, there was a rope made of clothes and bedsheets that reached the ground. Following this rope, the children, Miss Celine and Medanzo slid down one by one.
Miss Celine took a look. There were no surveillance cameras installed on the outer wall … She probably didn't expect these children to be so daring.
"Miss Celine, are you really not going to tell the principal …"
"Take me to Little Ya and the others, and I'll help you hide this matter." Miss Celine said impatiently, "Do you know that this is very dangerous? What if you get hurt? Also, it's too dark outside. Little Ya and the others are hiding outside. What if an accident happens? "
"Okay, okay …" The children had no choice but to nod.
As they spoke, the child who climbed the wall led the way in front — he brought them to a small path in the park.
However, the child's walking rhythm was a little strange. He walked and stopped. After a few steps, he would stop and walk in a very roundabout way.
Miss Celine couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with you?"
The child who led the way was about to speak, but Medanzo suddenly said, "You're trying to avoid the surveillance cameras here, right?"
"How do you know?" The child who led the way looked at Medanzo in surprise — he didn't remember when this child was in the compound.
Medanzo said, "Compared to this, I'm more curious about how you found the pattern of the surveillance cameras' blind spots."
The child who led the way shook his head and said, "My brother told me."
Miss Celine and Medanzo looked at each other. Miss Celine was puzzled and asked, "Brother?"
"Little Ya's brother!" The child who led the way said, "Brother is the smartest. He always gets first place in every exam. Even the oldest in the compound can't compare to him!"
Miss Celine frowned and subconsciously said, "Speaking of which, what's the name of Little Ya's brother?"
"Brother is brother?" The child who led the way said matter-of-factly. Then, he said, "Are you still going? Brother said that when we walk this path, we can't stop for too long. Otherwise, we'll make a mistake!"
Miss Celine could only be puzzled. She continued to move forward with Medanzo and the children.
…
"You don't know the child's name?" Medanzo suddenly asked in a low voice.
"I can't remember." Miss Celine shook her head. "Logically speaking, if he always gets first place in every exam, it's impossible for me to not remember him."
Medanzo said, "So … there's actually no such 'brother'?"
"No!" Miss Celine shook her head. "There is such a child. There is indeed a child. His grades are the best and he can do everything in sports … But, but the strange thing is, I really don't know his name."
"He exists, I know, but I don't know his name …" Medanzo bit the pipe and muttered, "Concept? Interesting … Seems like we're getting close to the center of this world. "
"We're here. It's right in front!"
The child who led the way suddenly pointed to the front.
In front of them was … a theater.
…
"They're actually hiding in the theater?" Miss Celine was surprised. "Shouldn't this place have been searched?"
The child who led the way said proudly, "The floor of the stage can be pried open. Adults can't squeeze in, but we can!"
Miss Celine shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, a few children suddenly rushed onto the stage and hid behind the curtains.
"You guys?"
Miss Celine quickly followed them. Just as she was about to pull the curtains, she felt that she stepped on something … It was a rope!
Or rather, it was a rope made of a rope.
The rope instantly tightened and wrapped around Miss Celine's ankle. At the same time, she lost her center of gravity … The rope was pulled up and she was pulled to the top of the stage. She was hung upside down.
The dress did not have anti-gravity. It flipped down and almost covered her face.
"It's blue ~"
Backstage, the laughter of the children could be heard … Miss Celine was embarrassed and angry. She quickly pressed down on the dress and said angrily, "What are you doing! Let me go! Medanzo, come and help me. Medanzo? "
In her panic, Medanzo was no longer in Miss Celine's sight.
At the same time, the curtains of the stage suddenly fell down. In an instant, the falling curtains covered the children who were hiding inside, making them look awkward.
Miss Celine opened her mouth but saw that Medanzo was already standing at the edge of the stage with a rope in his hand.
"I love to bully naughty children." Medanzo chuckled and walked to the back of the stage.
"Hey! Put me down! "Miss Celine shouted from behind.
A ray of light suddenly shot out and the rope that was hanging her broke. Miss Celine fell on the stage. At this moment, a pure white feather slowly floated down and finally landed on her head.
…
There were many traps along the way but Medanzo avoided them easily. In his opinion, these were all very simple traps.
However, considering that these were all set up with local materials, it was surprising that he could achieve this level.
He walked into a room on the stage where there were many dolls.
"The traps along the way are not bad but this level is not enough." Medanzo walked among the dolls casually. "Do you want to continue the game of hide-and-seek? I don't mind. After all, it's rare for me to move around. "
Just as he finished speaking, more than a dozen dolls fell from above Medanzo's head.
He shook his head and dodged them all with gentle movements, almost without looking at them.
However, at the moment when he dodged, a sharp object silently reached his throat in the dark.
Medanzo's eyes focused and his body strangely stopped at this time. If he didn't stop, his throat would hit the sharp object directly.
Everything seemed to have been planned out … Even the route of escape, was it also planned out?
"So, those prank-like traps in the beginning were all for the final trap?" Medanzo slowly raised his hands and looked at the small figure in the dark. "You are … that 'brother'?"
The small figure holding the sharp object in the dark remained motionless … Medanzo frowned. He suddenly reached out with his fingers and pinched the sharp object. Then, he pulled it gently.
What he pulled out was only a doll.
"You can actually calculate to this extent?" Medanzo shook his head. He felt that he had underestimated the other party. He casually threw away the sharp object in his hand but found that … he couldn't throw it away.
There was actually a layer of glue on the object?
While Metatro was still in shock, one of the fallen mannequins suddenly got up and hit the back of Metatro's head!
