Tangning had never expected to face this kind of choice again. His hands were held by Bai Yingxue and Lu Yuhua respectively. When Lu Yuhua said "Don't believe her", Bai Yingxue frowned and shouted at Lu Yuhua, "You lunatic, why did you force someone else into this matter between you?!"
Is it something between them? Is there any dispute between Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue
Tang Ning's thoughts were in a mess. He had no idea what was going on. He was already confused by the fact that "Lu Yuhua might be Xiaohua's brother".
"Come with me. Don't trust a selfish lunatic. If you stay here any longer, something bad will happen to you!" Bai Yingxue dragged Tang Ning and started to walk away from the orphanage. She looked like a skinny girl, but she was incredibly strong.
Selfish lunatic.
Bai Yingxue's evaluation of Lu Yuhua is the same as that of the naughty kids in the orphanage.
"Bai Yingxue! You are the one—" Bai Yingxue's hurried voice interrupted Lu Yuhua's words: "If we don't leave now, it will be too late. During class time, teachers will come out of the classroom to patrol. If we run into teachers, it will be difficult to avoid them!"
When Tang Ning heard Bai Yingxue's words, his heart suddenly tightened. Tang Ning thought he would never encounter some weird teacher during class time!
If these monster teachers didn't get into trouble like the security guard grandpa, it should be good for Wan. However, regardless of whether these teachers drove Wan away out of protection or out of hatred, they would drive Tang Ning away.
But Tang Ning came to the orphanage this time to explore the truth about the monster in the confinement room!
"She is the most selfish lunatic. Don't believe her!" Lu Yuhua pulled Tangning hard and said to her, "Don't you want to continue investigating now?!"
Tang Ning almost lost his balance due to the pulling and shoving of Bai Yingxue and Lu Yuhua. A glaring red mark appeared on his wrist. However, what made Tang Ning most miserable was not the physical pain, but the clueless choice.
He tried hard to make a decision in a short period of time. Should he believe Bai Yingxue or Lu Yuhua
Bai Yingxue appeared this time to save him, otherwise he would still be besieged by the ghost kids.
The reason he suspected Bai Yingxue was that he felt that Bai Yingxue's attitude suddenly became too cold, and there was a strange smile that he didn't know if it was caused by the poison.
But apart from this highly subjective attitude question, there is actually no fact to prove that Bai Yingxue has a question.
On the contrary, Lu Yuhua had never said that he had any relationship with the orphanage before, and had been hiding important information.
"If you investigate now, you will lose your life!" Bai Yingxue advised.
"Don't believe Bai Yingxue! Her monster is about to replace her!" Lu Yuhua shouted.
Two completely different voices sounded from the left and right, and stopped almost at the same time. Before Tang Ning could react to what happened, a huge shadow cast from the sky enveloped him.
Tang Ning looked up blankly and saw the monster teacher floating in the air like a balloon looking down at them. The middle-aged man had a weird smile on his face.
"What are you doing here during class time? Bad kids!"
As soon as the words were spoken, it swooped down like a bat—
Tang Ning's hand was pulled in completely different directions by a force. Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue both pulled Tang Ning in the direction they wanted to go, leaving Tang Ning frozen in place at the most precious moment.
Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue's faces changed color. They both realized that the key to the current situation was not to snatch Tang Ning, but to let Tang Ning avoid the monster's attack!
As if they had telepathic communication, they both let go of his hand at the same time and ran madly to the side. After they were out of the danger zone, they both looked at each other in disbelief, as if they didn't understand why the other one also let go. If only one of them let go, Tang Ning could easily be taken away from the danger zone by the other one.
Tang Ning staggered, and after he stood firm, he wanted to escape, but it was too late!
The huge black shadow that was getting closer and closer to him was a perfect circle with a diameter of meters. The monster teacher's hands seemed extremely short against the backdrop of its huge belly, but as the distance between it and Tang Ning was getting closer and closer, the short hands looked like the limbs of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and could grab his shoulders like a pair of pliers!
Overwhelming despair and fear overwhelmed Tang Ning. He did not run away. He reached into his pockets and grabbed the porcelain doll and the talisman. Just as he was about to use the props to resist the monster teacher, a small stone hit the monster teacher's stomach at flying speed.
Blood splattered everywhere.
It fell on Tang Ning's snow-white face.
The hand that was less than a centimeter away from Tang Ning brushed Tang Ning's hair. With a scream, the monster teacher who was flying towards Tang Ning changed direction in the air like a deflated balloon and rolled to the ground in a mess.
Wait, what happened
Tangning stood there in confusion. A child's voice rang out, "I protected you again~"
"Mother."
This is the sound of small fish.
Tang Ning lowered his head and saw a small fish that was completely different from the previous one.
Her face and body were covered with burn marks, and her plaid skirt was also burned to tatters. She used her small hands, which no longer had any good flesh left, to grab one of Tang Ning's fingers.
A pair of dark and sinister eyes stared at Tang Ning without blinking, like a child longing for his parents' approval.
Yes, Xiaoyu saved him again. When he first went to explore the orphanage, Xiaoyu saved him. This time when they explored the orphanage again, they almost exposed their location at the beginning. It was the monster teacher who was led away by Xiaoyu, and now Xiaoyu stepped forward again.
Tang Ning had no idea what Xiaoyu wanted, just like he had no idea what Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue wanted.
However, his purpose of coming this time was very simple. He just wanted to investigate the information related to the monster in the confinement room and save his life during the investigation.
Bai Yingxue didn't want him to continue investigating.
Lu Yuhua doesn't look reliable.
Neither of these options is a good choice, and he has a tool that can restrain monsters.
Tangning thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Good boy."
A gentle voice.
Warm hands.
And a face that was still beautiful even when splattered with blood.
Xiaoyu raised her head and smiled brightly. The smile looked a little strange on her face covered with burn marks. Even with such a face, Xiaoyu holding Tang Ning's hand was still as happy as a lark. She jumped and ran in one direction holding Tang Ning's hand.
When Lu Yuhua saw this scene, his pupils constricted. Without hesitation, he took out another pill of wheat grain that could cure all diseases from his pocket and threw it in another direction.
However, the candy that was very attractive to other children seemed not as important to Xiaoyu as Tang Ning, who was holding her hand.
Xiaoyu didn't even turn her head. She smiled and pulled Tangning, "Mom, do you want to swing?"
The child's crisp laughter echoed in the silent orphanage.
Seeing that the candy had no effect, Lu Yuhua became anxious. He put away the bottle and tried to chase after Xiaoyu and Tang Ning, but at this moment Bai Yingxue suddenly stood in front of him and held him back with her hand.
Lu Yuhua pushed Bai Yingxue's hand away with force, and during the shove, the monster teacher who was knocked to the ground by a small stone finally bounced up from the ground.
Its huge belly was very elastic and it could jump to a height of meters with each jump. In an instant, it jumped above Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue.
not good!
They dispersed quickly, and after they had avoided the monster teacher, Lu Yuhua looked again in the direction where Xiaoyu had left, but could not find the two figures, one big and one small.
This side.
Under the tree with the swing hanging on it, Tangning looked at Xiaoyu in bewilderment, "Swing on the swing?"
Xiaoyu nodded seriously, "I like swinging on the swing the most."
Tangning didn't know what dangers he would encounter while swinging on the swing, so he asked cautiously, "How do we swing?"
"It's very simple. Just sit on the swing and let mommy push you!" Xiaoyu said as she was about to lift up her skirt and sit on it.
Tangning quickly said, "Xiaoyu, this is what I am talking about. We have something important to do right now."
Xiaoyu gave up the swing which was so close to her with a little regret. She spoke to Tang Ning very obediently. She kept looking up, which made her look a little tired.
Tangning squatted down and looked at Xiaoyu. Tangning hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Can you help me?"
Xiaoyu didn't say anything. She just looked at Tangning expressionlessly.
Tangning had no choice but to say, "If you help me finish these things, and if I have time, I will swing with you."
Hearing this promise, Xiaoyu smiled again, "What's the matter?"
"I want to know something about the monster in the confinement room." Tangning said seriously.
When she heard the word "confinement room monster", a little fear appeared on Xiaoyu's face. She bit her finger and seemed to be struggling with something.
After a while, when Xiaoyu had bitten all ten of her fingers until they bled, she whispered, "Can we change the subject?"
Tangning was stunned for a moment, "Don't you know anything about monsters?"
"I can't tell you." The little fish said timidly, "It will get angry."
Tang Ning regretted choosing Xiaoyu.
Maybe he should go back to find Lu Yuhua. Bai Yingxue told him that the rumors about the monster in the confinement room were first spread by "Brother Xiaohua", so Lu Yuhua might know more about the monster in the confinement room.
As if sensing Tangning's inner turmoil, Xiaoyu quickly said, "Mom, let's change the subject."
"Except for what happened just now, Xiaoyu can help you with anything~" Xiaoyu patted his chest with his bloodied hands and assured Tangning.
Change one thing
Tang Ning only wanted to think about the monster in the confinement room. If the conditions were different, it would not be worth it to take such a huge risk to play on the swing with Xiaoyu.
Or let’s just forget it. It should still be in time to find Lu Yuhua now.
Under Tangning's eyes, Xiaoyu raised a bloody finger and asked hesitantly, "Xiaoyu, can you help me with something?"
Can you still bargain
Tangning was a little surprised by Xiaoyu's flexibility. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "A piece?"
Xiaoyu puffed up her cheeks angrily. With no skin left but only muscle texture, she looked not cute in this expression, but even more terrifying. "Mom, you are greedy!"
Tang Ning smiled awkwardly.
If Xiaoyu is willing to help, this deal doesn't seem to be a bad deal. He can ask Xiaoyu to help him investigate Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue separately to figure out who is trustworthy. In this way, he can use the power of Lu Yuhua or Bai Yingxue to investigate matters related to the monster in the confinement room.
"Will swinging on the swing cause any harm?" Tang Ning asked.
Xiaoyu shook his head, "No."
You can't trust everything the monster says. If there's real danger, you can choose between smashing the porcelain doll or applying the talisman. Tangning made the decision without hesitation, "Okay, Xiaoyu, help me with something. Play on the swing with Xiaoyu."
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her little finger: "Pin it!"
This action revealed the cuteness of a child. Tangning reached out and hooked his bony fingers. He said in a clear childish voice, "Pin it up, hang yourself, and don't change for a hundred years—"
"If you change, I'll hang you on a tree."
The scary-looking little fish said coldly.
Tang Ning silently swallowed back the words that were praising Xiaoyu for being adorable.
The last step of the pinky promise was to touch the thumbs together. Xiaoyu had always touched only one of Tangning's fingers. When they touched more than one finger this time, Xiaoyu's expression froze, as if it was in pain as if being burned by fire.
Tang Ning said that the ring has an inhibitory effect on ghosts and monsters. Xiaoyu was able to directly touch one of his fingers, which proved that Xiaoyu's strength was already very strong.
"Mom, what do you want Xiaoyu to help you with?" Xiaoyu took her hand back and said with her eyes wide open.
"Investigate Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue." Tangning replied.
Xiaoyu didn't feel embarrassed by the monster in the confinement room for this request. She held her head high and said, "No problem."
After saying this, Xiaoyu's expression suddenly changed, and she took Tangning's finger and hid to the side.
The next second, a hand landed where they were standing.
It's a monster teacher with very long limbs!
Tang Ning was a little flustered. He looked at Xiaoyu, but there was no fear on Xiaoyu's face. Instead, there was only anger and dissatisfaction.
She whispered to Tangning, "Mom, hurry up and sit on the swing. I'll push you."
What? Why are you swinging on the swing now
Tang Ning didn't react at first, but then he realized that the reward for swinging on the swing was different from what Xiaoyu asked for. Now he was sitting on the swing and Xiaoyu was pushing him, and the reward was that Xiaoyu was sitting on it and he was pushing Xiaoyu.
Although it was unclear what the difference was, looking at the way the strange hand on the ground was constantly groping, as long as Tang Ning's feet were still on the ground, he would definitely be touched by the monster.
Tang Ning gritted his teeth, made up his mind and sat on the swing.
Since he has already made a promise to Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu will not kill him now.
Although she thought so, Tang Ning still held the porcelain doll tightly just in case.
"Mom, lift your feet up~" Xiaoyu's voice came from behind.
This swing is suitable for children. Tang Ning has long legs, so when he sits on it, his feet will fall to the ground no matter how he puts them.
Following Xiaoyu's words, the rapidly moving hand on the ground also "touched" towards Tang Ning's feet!
Faced with this situation, Tang Ning had no time to think. He hurriedly lifted his feet. At the same time, a cold little hand pressed on Tang Ning's back. Tang Ning heard the cheerful voice of a little fish and a lark: "Swing on the swing~"
Have you ever swung on a swing
The breeze blew against my face, and the world within my sight enlarged little by little. When the swing was not swinging high enough, it was a pleasant low-altitude flight.
As the swing got higher and higher, the uncontrolled feeling of weightlessness made his body secrete hormones continuously. Tang Ning held on to the iron rope on the side. When he swung to the highest point, he seemed to escape from the dull world and turned into a bird flying freely in the air.
Tang Ning closed his eyes, looking calm and unconcerned, the bloodstains on his face looked like blooming flowers.
The next moment, the swing stopped. Tang Ning opened his eyes and found that he was in a completely different place. It seemed that during the short swing, he had completed a space jump.
At this time, Tang Ning was sitting under an unfamiliar tree. There was a swing hanging on the top of the tree, which was pressing down on the branches, causing them to shake continuously.
"Mom looks like she likes swinging on the swing too." Xiaoyu came out from behind Tang Ning and tilted her head to say to her.
Tangning got off the swing and asked, "Where is this?"
He felt that this place looked somewhat familiar, because looking not far away, he recognized a room that seemed to be where the group of children had been making dolls when they first came to the orphanage.
"Mom, don't you want to investigate Sister Yingxue?" Xiaoyu held Tangning's finger and said, "Shh, let's go quietly. Don't let Sister Yingxue find us."
Where is Bai Yingxue
Tang Ning was a little dazed as Xiaoyu led him. As they walked a few steps, Xiaoyu suddenly pulled Tang Ning to hide in a corner.
As Tang Ning slipped in, he heard a rubbing sound.
Tang Ning held his breath and looked towards the source of the sound. A strange hand was crawling on the ground. It stretched straight forward. If it turned at this moment, it would be able to catch Tang Ning at the corner.
If it weren't for Xiaoyu, Tang Ning felt he would be caught within ten seconds if he walked here alone.
"Hmph, I really want to chop it up." The little fish grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Tangning looked at Xiaoyu silently. Xiaoyu's fierce attitude suddenly changed and she said obediently, "Let's go, Mom."
It's really a bit weird to be called mom.
Tang Ning was led out by Xiaoyu. There were several rooms on this corridor. One of them looked like a class was in progress. Tang Ning saw a few familiar-looking children through the glass window.
These were the faces of some children he saw when he first went to the orphanage. At that time, these children's faces were still normal, but now they had marks of burns like Xiaoyu.
Why do some children in the orphanage attend classes regularly, while others can play hide-and-seek outside? Is the monster teacher patrolling outside to catch the playful children and bring them back to class
Tang Ning had many doubts in her mind, but it was not appropriate to make them out loud now. Tang Ningjing quietly walked on the empty road with Xiaoyu.
"Bend down." Xiaoyu whispered to Tang Ning.
Tang Ning immediately bent down, and at the moment he leaned over, a window in the classroom suddenly opened. Xiaoyu climbed onto Tang Ning's back and closed the window without any expression.
The ghost child who opened the window looked at the little fish outside the window. He seemed to want to find something, but the little fish made him feel afraid.
Xiaoyu jumped off Tang Ning's back. She continued to pull Tang Ning, who was hunched over, and walked stealthily in the corridor. They walked through the classroom together and came to the doll-making room.
Tang Ning held his breath, and following Xiaoyu's instruction, he quietly stuck to the edge of a window and looked inside.
Many children in this classroom are making dolls. It is difficult for them to stay still. After making dolls for a while, they will look around and move their hands. The dolls they make are not delicate. Instead, they are rough. Some of them only made the parts of the hands, and some were making the heads, and the faces on the heads were ugly like aliens.
Among this group of clumsy children, Bai Yingxue stood out from the crowd. She seemed to have just sat down and was still sorting things out, but the parts on her desk were very delicate. Tang Ning saw Bai Yingxue take out a doll from the drawer. The doll already had a body and a head, and all she had to do was assemble them.
strangeness.
Tang Ning looked at the doll in Bai Yingxue's hand. It had a boy's face. Tang Ning felt as if she had seen this doll somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
Tangning didn't think about it anymore. He looked at Xiaoyu and asked in a low voice, "Why did you bring her here to watch Bai Yingxue make dolls?"
"Mom, don't you want to explore Sister Yingxue?" Xiaoyu and Tangning whispered, "If you want to explore a girl, you have to see what she does."
There was some truth to what he said. Tang Ning remembered that when he first came to the orphanage with Bai Yingxue, he also saw Bai Yingxue making dolls. However, the doll Bai Yingxue made was Tang Ning's doll. She also used the doll to help Tang Ning lure away the monster. Tang Ning guessed that it was Bai Yingxue's ability, a bit like a stand-in attack.
So now Bai Yingxue is making dolls to help others withstand attacks
Tangning looked at the doll in Bai Yingxue's hand again. The doll was a crying little boy. He felt that the face of the doll looked familiar. Tangning couldn't remember what it was so he asked directly, "Xiaoyu, whose doll did she make?"
"Meow~" Xiaoyu called softly to Tang Ning.
Tang Ning stared at Xiaoyu blankly. Suddenly, the image of the boy holding a cat that he met when he first came to the orphanage emerged in his mind!
Yes! It was a little boy holding a dead cat!
At that time, the little boy was put in the detention room by the teacher. Later, it seemed that the monster in the detention room ran out, and the little boy followed him out and bumped into Tang Ning.
"It seems that mom remembered, it was Yao Xuezhen." Xiaoyu whispered softly.
Yes, the little boy’s name is Yao Xuezhen.
Why did Bai Yingxue suddenly want to make a doll for Yao Xuezhen? Was it to use this doll to help Yao Xuezhen bear the punishment
"Why does she want to be Yao Xuezhen's doll?" Tangning asked.
"Who knows?" Xiaoyu shrugged and muttered, "Maybe it's for commemoration."
commemorate
"Yao Xuezhen is dead." Xiaoyu's tone was very calm. When she talked about the death of her companion, she was not even as sad as when the tabby cat died. "Maybe Sister Yingxue wanted to keep it by her side."
Dead
Bai Yingxue is making a doll of a dead monster?!
