Buzz!

The corpse of the 'mother' lying on the table did not bleed, but flesh-eating flies were squeezed out from her rotten neck, increasing in number until they reached thousands.

They seemed to have a collective consciousness, forming a group of humanoid black shadows and quickly moving towards the second floor.

The flies did not notice that the gas pipes in the house had been cut and all the doors and windows were closed.

The swarm of flies gathered at the door of the parents' bedroom on the second floor. I stuffed the fly flesh into the keyhole and filled it up... Click! The lock opened.

Inside was actually a production room similar to a biological nest.

As the swarm of flies poured in and touched a switch in a certain biological flesh bubble, a new pair of "parents" began to be remade. Eventually, they broke through the membrane between the flesh capsules and slid out, wearing exactly the same clothes, with the same hairstyle and coffee in their hands.

"William, my dear son! Where are you?"

My parents pretended nothing had happened and walked down the stairs with a smile.

Just as they were about to look for their son, they found Yi Chen standing outside the window.

One hand was dragging a black suitcase and the other hand was waving goodbye to them.

Leaving the house is absolutely not allowed.

Seeing their son standing outside the house, the two of them immediately showed their ferocious faces. The mother's mouth was completely torn apart, and a large number of flies that could devour flesh and blood poured out of her body. The father's body also began to swell and a large amount of acid overflowed from his pores.

All their attention was focused on the door, and they didn't notice the plant traps set under their feet.

Bang!

My mother took the lead and kicked off the tender green roots in the corridor.

The roots broken by external force caused a chain reaction, eventually pointing to the ignition device on the stove.

The rebirth of my parents took a full half hour.

Since the entire house is completely sealed, the gas concentration inside has already exceeded the critical value.

Before the two rushed out of the house,

Gas explosion,

boom!

All the doors and windows in the house were shattered, and even a hole was blown in the roof, with flames shooting into the sky.

Yi Chen, who was only eight years old, had already pushed his suitcase out of the front yard of his house and sat on the shoulder of the road, as if waiting for something in the dark, completely ignoring the building behind him that exploded and was engulfed in flames.

Snap! Snap!

Two pieces of flesh fell to the ground.

Coincidentally,

The 'parents', who had just been reborn and whose bodies were still as tender as those of children, were hit by the explosion and fell on both sides of Yi Chen. They could even smell a wonderful smell.

After a while,

At the end of the dark street, a bus arrived, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as a school bus.

The school bus stopped right in front of Yi Chen.

When the car door opened, the driver turned out to be the postman who had delivered the letter before, wearing a suit and a top hat.

He did not immediately invite Yi Chen to get on the bus. Instead, he was shocked by the strange sight of the raging flames in front of him. He quickly backed the school bus up a distance and got off himself.

The burning house, Yi Chen sitting on the shoulder of the road, and the postman in the middle of the road are just in a straight line.

The postman made a picture frame with his hands, framing this beautiful family portrait scene.

A perverted smile spread across his red lipsticked mouth as he removed his top hat and pulled out a Polaroid camera.

By taking off his hat, Yi Chen was able to see the postman's true face.

A layer of white foundation was deliberately applied on the slender face with clear cheekbones, the eyebrows and lips were red, and the eyeballs were pitch black.

"Smile! Cheese!"

Considering that he would have contact with this person later, Yi Chen also showed a morbid smile.

The 'parents' whose limbs were burnt and severed by the explosion also happened to fall on both sides, facing the camera with a painful expression.

Snap! A sound, a blinding flash, and then a broken ampoule. A stream of colors poured onto the thick and glossy paper, and a warm family photo was formed.

The postman took the photo and the camera back into his top hat with a satisfied look on his face and put it back on.

"What a surprise! Hurry up and get in the car! You have already qualified for the orphanage. We have to pick up a few more qualified 'orphans' tonight, and we will send you to the orphanage tomorrow morning."

As soon as Yi Chen stepped onto the school bus, someone in the last row raised their fair and silvery arms to wave at him. At the same time, a familiar and magnetic voice came:

"You're so slow, William~"

"I can't help it. I dare not do anything wrong before I understand the rules clearly."

My eyes turned to the last row of the school bus.

The young boy Lorian, wearing a white hooded sweatshirt with Winnie the Pooh pattern, and jeans and a pair of white sneakers, was sitting in the middle.

This is much better than his image in real life when he is wearing a hospital gown. Not only does he look more energetic, he even looks a lot more handsome.

However, Lorian's right eye was still covered with gauze.

There were several "orphans" in the car, some of them looked ferocious, some were laughing crazily, and some were curled up in the corner sharpening their nails or blades. Only Yi Chen and Lorian looked relatively normal.

Yi Chen also came to the last row and sat by the window.

The school bus was driving through the "copy and paste" streets, with no end in sight, welcoming new students who were qualified for the orphanage from house to house.

As the vehicle was moving, Lorian took the initiative to approach and put his elbow on Yi Chen's shoulder.

“William, the architectural style, daily necessities and this car that uses special fuel here are completely incompatible with the world we live in... No wonder the Duke said something strange when he saw us, saying that we didn’t belong to the same world or something.

Have you ever lived in a world like this? How did you end up here? "

It's impossible to get away with it in front of Yue Hen.

Yi Chen held his chin with one hand, the buildings outside the window flashing in his eyes, and answered Yue Hen's question honestly:

“I don’t know the specific reason, it’s just that I accidentally died in this world.

When I woke up again, I was already here with you, in this sick world, in the body of a cemetery worker who was about my age, size, and even appearance, and who had also committed suicide by taking poison."

"The transmission of consciousness between people of the same nature who died at the same time? It's impossible to directly cross different worlds, right

You are so interesting. No wonder your behavior and some details of your life are fundamentally different from those of the gentlemen here. No wonder I was interested in you at the first sight.

By the way, a person like you actually died... What terrible thing killed you?"

"A special group of people who specialize in knowledge. I died unexpectedly during the compulsory knowledge acquisition."

Yue Hen narrowed his eyes at these words and became extremely serious. "Some kind of evil group seeking special knowledge? Pulling the brain out of the body and infusing it with knowledge all day without rest.

It is indeed very likely that your brain will explode. Perhaps the events you experienced were even more terrifying, or perhaps you are not completely dead, but it is just a coincidence that allowed you to travel to our side.

This kind of knowledge group is indeed dangerous. Is the gamble we are about to face related to this? "

“No… this is what happened to me when I grew up.

The memory that the Duke used for the gambling game was my "childhood memory". This experience almost killed me. It was a miracle that I was able to escape from the orphanage alive. "

“It sounds interesting, luckily I decided to join this gambling game.

I can see that your eyes have changed a little, with a kind of murderous luster that is not usually seen. You seem to have a lot of opinions about the orphanage you are going to. Don't worry, I will help you. "
