A large blanket hung on Sophie's shoulders and dragged on the ground, wearing a pink dress, Sophie carried the letter collected at the door in her arms, and stepped on a pair of fluffy slippers to the second floor. Walk down the quiet hallway towards the desk with the lamp in front of the window at the end of the hallway.

Behind her, an orange cat followed closely, restlessly watching back and forth, meowing from time to time.

As usual, after everyone had gone to sleep, only Sophie was still wandering around the orphanage without tirelessness, doing the work that should have belonged to the housemaster.

Lock the door that the warden had forgotten, turn off the lights in the hall on the first floor, and arrange the letters one by one on the shelves of the desks, or maybe add one soon, to get rid of the drunks who would make the children sleep.

Hearing the noise on the street outside, Sophie curiously opened the glass window, propped her arms on the windowsill, and immediately found the source of the noise, where four drunken people were messing around on the opposite street. Later, one of them was still stepping on the puddle, writhing and singing there, and the others watched their companion's performance with excitement.

"Hey!"

The little girl's voice silenced them suddenly, and they followed the source of the sound to the window on the second floor of the orphanage at the end of the street, where a little girl looked at them with a disgruntled face.

Like a little adult, Sophie condescendingly reprimanded these drunks: "You drunks, what a big bunch! You can go, the children are going to sleep. ”

The drunken man looked up at Sophie and slurred at her, "Hello, chick." ”

The little fist slammed on the windowsill, and Sophie scolded, "Don't call me a chick!" I'm going to call the police, call now. ”

With that, Sophie left the windowsill and turned off the lights on the second floor.

Watching the drunkards below rush away, Sophie closed the glass window, let out a sigh of relief, picked up her own blanket and wrapped it around her body and left here.

On the second floor of the bookstore opposite, looking at Sophie's old-fashioned appearance of driving away the drunkard with great interest, the fox lying on Ye Qianhu's back smiled, and just wanted to say something, but saw Ye Qianhu throw her a quiet look, and then gestured to one of the monitoring screens on the computer.

The fox looked over, and it was the direction in which a few drunks had just run away, pointed at the camera over there, and caught something interesting.

It was a huge figure, and he couldn't see the other side because of the blockage of the building, but his shadow fell on the surface of the building in the light.

The shadow was the size of a three-story building, and it paused for a few seconds, then quickly left the place, and behind the passing figure, it was obvious that a shadow resembling a trumpet.

Such a body type, appearing here at this time, and that iconic horn-like thing, is naturally BFG.

For the other giants, the night is the time to come to the human world to hunt, but for BFG, the night is the time when he takes the children with him. Sneak into the human world, open the child's window, and use that trumpet-like dream blower to bring the sweet dreams he captured in his dreams to the sleeping children.

The orange cat squatted on top of the blanket that Sophie dragged on the ground, as if she was hitchhiking, and returned to the orphanage with Sophie, where the children were in the dormitory on the second floor, and Sophie came to the bed and covered her body with a blanket, still without any intention of sleeping.

Lying on the bed, wearing glasses that were a little big for her, she carefully read a book on her stomach with a flashlight.

Successfully evaded the wardess who patrolled the night, and then continued to read.

The orange cat nestled in Sophie's bed seemed to hear something, got up and jumped out of bed, and ran all the way to the windowsill facing the street, as if looking for something.

Sophie stood up and looked over to the windowsill, and whispered to herself, "Don't leave the bed." ”

Getting out of bed lightly, Sophie walked slowly towards the balcony, muttering to herself, "Don't go to the window." ”

"And don't look back... Curtain! Sophie pulled back the curtains, but she didn't see anything.

When Sophie came to the balcony, at the corner of the street below, there were suddenly several frightened cries of wild cats, as if they had found some predators, and they knocked over the garbage cans there in a frenzy, and arched their backs to look at the other side.

But when a palm that seemed to be bigger than an adult's reached for it, the fur-fried wild cat fled without looking back.

On the balcony of the orphanage, Sophie watched blankly as the big hand that had scared away the wild cat gently picked up the knocked blow, then pinched the lid of the trash can with two fingers and put it back in its place.

Immediately after, the figure of a giant crouching around the corner appeared in Sophie's sight, and the giant sensed the gaze from the opposite side and raised his head to look at Sophie.

The darkness around Sophie made it difficult for Sophie to see the giant's appearance, but she could clearly see that the big eyes with surprise were watching her closely.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, Sophie took a deep breath, and then stared blankly at the giant's standing up of his body several meters high.

He was covered in a black-gray cloak that easily covered his entire body, and his face was shrouded in the shadow of the hood.

The giant looked at Sophie on the second floor opposite, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards Sophie.

With fear, Sophie gasped violently, lifted the curtains that had wrapped around her in a panic, and rushed back to the bedroom.

Jumping on her cot facing the balcony, Sophie pulled up the blanket to cover herself, as if she could hide herself from the monster outside.

"Don't leave the bed, don't walk to the window, don't look behind the curtains!"

Sophie spoke quickly to herself, and as she said the last word, she tentatively looked towards the ledge behind her, and then saw that the giant had come to the outside of the ledge, and its huge size easily blocked the ledge completely, so that the bright moonlight outside could not reach the inside of the dormitory.

When Sophie turned around, the giant was reaching out his right hand and grabbing at her cot!

With a low scream, Sophie wrapped herself tightly under the blanket and buried her head in the pillow.

But this didn't seem to change anything, the right hand, which was bigger than Sophie's bed, crossed the wide open balcony, and then easily grabbed Sophie hiding under the blanket, and gently closed his fingers, easily grasping Sophie and her blanket together.

Amid Sophie's screams through the blanket, the hand grabbed Sophie, who was wrapped in the blanket, and left the room.
