In the Lion City Welfare Institute, children of all sizes are doing morning exercises, and these dozens of children, the oldest and only about ten years old, look in good spirits, and are doing the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics under the leadership of the instructor.

There was a little girl squatting in the corridor on one side, with a large irregular pale cyan birthmark on her right cheek, turning her otherwise delicate face a little hideous. The little girl's gaze was a little glazed, but it was much more agile than when she first came here, at least it was no longer the cloudy yellow color, but more close to the black light of a human.

The snake spirit had been living in the Lion City Welfare Home for almost a month, and with the benefits she had received from the spiritual network nodes and the information she had obtained from her surroundings during this time, she had already established a rudimentary but solid self-awareness.

"I am a demon, and I am not born the same species as these humans, not my race, and their hearts must be different. If my identity is revealed, I will definitely be arrested and dissected, and humans have no human rights to say about goblins. Recalling the TV series "The Legend of the White Snake" that he just watched a few days ago, the snake spirit couldn't help but shake his body, and he had an inexplicable fear of the outside world.

"She Xiaoqing, you're lazy here again!" Teacher Zheng, who was in charge of their cultural class, pushed open the office door, and saw this child who had worried her a lot squatting in the corridor again, her short stature, coupled with a few low trees planted outside the corridor, no one noticed her existence for a while.

Zheng Juan screamed, and saw that the girl looked up at herself, and lowered her head again, not knowing what she was in a daze. She rolled her eyes, walked over helplessly, and reached out to pick her up, her tentacles cold.

It's strange to say, when this little girl was sent to the welfare home, compared with her current appearance, it can really be said to be a heaven and an underground, Zheng Juan has never seen a child become so powerful in a month. It's like an ugly duckling turning into a white swan. When she first came, this girl was so ugly that she was out of the realm, ugly out of the level, her face was covered with cyan birthmarks of different sizes, and her body was scattered with strange gray and white scales, she almost thought it was some kind of freak.

However, after this period of time, most of the birthmarks on She Xiaoqing's face have disappeared, leaving only the largest piece of her right face, and the whole person is radiant and vibrant. Of course, Zheng Juan didn't know how important it was for a snake spirit who was growing his body to have adequate nutrition, even if it wasn't a delicate food.

She Xiaoqing, who was held in her arms, moved her arms, hugged Zheng Juan's neck, and put her face on her. A smooth and smooth feeling made Zheng Juan a little in a trance, as if she was holding a large piece of mutton fat jade.

"Tell me, why didn't you do the today?" she asked in a low voice, patting the little girl's head on the melon seeds.

The girl replied quite justifiably: "I'm full and want to sleep." ”

"Nonsense! How much did you eat today?"

The snake spirit rolled her eyes in a place that Zheng Juan couldn't see, but she still answered honestly: "In the morning... I ate a total of six steamed buns and two bowls of soy milk... There are also two fritters and three taels of pickles... A boiled egg. She rubbed for a moment, "... There is also a small dish of mixed noodles. ”

Zheng Juan sighed habitually, "Okay, I knew you had to eat so much every day, fortunately, the city has recently subsidized our side, otherwise I really can't afford to feed you for this snack!"

She snorted and whispered, "Actually... I could have eaten a little more. ”

On the roof of an old-fashioned five-story residential building less than 100 meters away from the welfare home, there is a small house made of plywood, which belongs to the type of construction that should be properly counted as illegal construction. In this room, which is only more than ten square meters, there are three computers and many sophisticated instruments. The screen of one of the computers was showing the interaction between She Xiaoqing and Zheng Juan, but there was no sound.

"This little girl is the object of long-term observation for the realistic task we have received?" The young man squatting on the chair scratched his head impatiently, pointed to She Xiaoqing, who looked stupid on the screen, and said angrily, "This looks like a stupid girl at all!

"Hehe, haven't you noticed anything wrong?" another voice sounded, and her thick arm stretched out from under the computer desk, fumbling to take a few tools down, "This girl's real strength may be about the same as ours!"

"How is that possible!" the young man's first reaction was disbelief, "Didn't I say that this girl is no different from an ordinary little girl except that she looks a little weird and eats more, besides, don't we feel the same breath from her as we do?"

"I didn't say she's the same kind of person as us," a slick head emerged from under the computer desk, and by the time he stood up, the room instantly narrowed. The man, who is at least one meter eight tall, smiled, turned on another computer, and called up a video, "You'll know after watching this." ”

The video was pitch black, but the camera redeemed from the system still captured everything with the faint starlight. She Xiaoqing sneaked down from the bed, lay on the ground and crawled out of the room in a strange posture, without alarming anyone along the way, not even the fat cat raised by the dean's aunt who was sleeping on the windowsill did not notice She Xiaoqing who slipped under it.

She entered the kitchen smoothly, the big iron lock on the door did not stump her, She Xiaoqing just pressed her palm on the lock for less than three seconds, and the iron ring as thick as a finger softened and fell off, and she gently put it aside. She dodged into the kitchen, and after about five minutes, the little girl with grease on the corners of her mouth left the kitchen, and packed several chicken legs with her.

The tall man grinned: "What's the matter, this task is not easy." This is a mode of action that the average adult can't do, let alone a little girl of this age. ”

The young man was dumbfounded, pointed at the screen and whispered, "Brother Gu, I'm not dazzled, she didn't get her clothes dirty when she crawled out against the ground just now? This kind of control is almost comparable to a fifteenth or sixteenth-level apostle!"

"You just know?" the man known as Big Brother Gu clasped his hands and said in a surprising voice, "I suspect that this girl is actually not human!"

The young man was startled, "What else can it be if it's not a human? It can't be a monster, right?"

"You're right! I think this girl might be a monster!" Brother Gu clapped his hands, "Do you think, if there is nothing special, it is necessary for the system to send us this kind of observation task? Or is it the kind that lasts for a year? Besides, don't you think that her posture just now looks like some kind of creature?"

"You mean, snake?" said the young man tentatively.

"That's right, snake!"
