Chapter 39: List of Orphans
readx;
Michelle immediately reached out and snatched the notebook, she stared at the name on the notebook, it was indeed Adie was correct, and the page where her name was located was still blank, which means that Adie had only recently disappeared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I only met her the day before, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late..."Xiaomi then saw the names of the friends she had known at the beginning and Cynthia, and their names were clearly written down in the notebook. In addition to the name, there are also their height, weight, and even some physical characteristics. Some physical disabilities are also recorded, and the vast majority of the children recorded are children with disabilities, although there are a few children who do not have relevant information recorded.
"There are nearly six hundred names in this book..."Avi looked at the names on it, some of them were not directly recorded, but were codenamed, such as "broken arm", "missing eye", etc., "In other words, there are at least so many orphans in the secret underground building that were brought in from the White Orphanage, what are they all brought in!
Felistie was the last to pick up the notebook, and she saw a name, then lipsed it and immediately turned to another page, not putting it down until she had gone through the entire book.
"I don't know why this book records so many orphans, but now that Adie has disappeared, I can only imagine that she was taken into that secret underground building. Michelle looked frustrated, and it was the first time Avi had seen such an expression on the face of such an actionable girl.
"There is another possibility, maybe they were sent to other orphanages in the Kingdom of Salins, or some families willing to accept disabled children?" Avi made a speculation that he had always had reservations, after all, the drunken doorman's vague dialogue and this notebook alone could not completely conclude that the orphans were sent to the wooden door for some ulterior research.
"But you've heard with your own ears that there was an escape from the White Orphanage before," Felisty played with her redhead hair with a finger, "and I'm sure there are some orphans in that underground building, because some of the children they escaped from have fled outside." ”
The red-haired girl spoke a little cryptically, but Avi understood. The other party means that St. Goliath has already taken in at least one child, and that child is the orphan of what the drunken doorman calls the "escape", but it is not known what kind of "listener" or the other two escaped with him.
"If we want to rescue Adie from there now, or if we want to infiltrate it again, the difficulty of obtaining other secrets will definitely increase a lot, and we will even have to face the power of the regular forces of the Kingdom of Salins. Felisty spoke the truth.
Then the three fell silent, each thinking about something.
Avi's idea is simple, since he has learned that there is indeed a mysterious underground structure in the White Orphanage, and that the underground structure will constantly accept disabled orphans, then he only needs to find a way to enter the secret building to dig up all the truths - and he will be able to figure out about artificial life, and maybe there is also information about the necklace that Bennicott wants to know.
The drunken doorman had made it clear that two half-finished products had been taken away, one of which had fallen into the hands of the bandit leader "Bearfinch" and now had become his own weapon. Then the "new work" that the doorman refers to must be another artificial life that has been completed. As long as they can infiltrate the building, they will have a good chance of obtaining another artificial life weapon.
But the most troublesome are the gardeners and guards who may have raised their vigilance...
Millet suddenly started eating bread after a period of contemplation, it was already difficult for a ten-year-old girl to have such an ability, and now it was a little too difficult for her to think about how to fight against the orphanage that belonged to the Kingdom of Sarins.
Felistie looked at Michelle, who was bowing her head and chewing bread, and she suddenly said, "Xiaomi, do you really want to rescue Adie? Maybe Adie is no longer alive now..."
Michelle took two more bites before replying: "I think I'm sorry for getting you involved in this matter, and the difficulties in front of us now are too great, and you don't have to worry about me." She didn't look up to reply to Felisty's words, but both Avi and Felistie could see that the other was still thinking about Adie.
"Felisti-san," Avi felt that it was more appropriate to address him, "if you really have any good ideas, then tell us, or we will have to give up." With that, Avi touched the keys in his arms, not knowing if they would come in handy.
Millet also said: "Yes, we still have some magic powder, and there is a passage that I don't know if we can get to the secret underground building! Although Ah Die is missing, I also want to rescue her, but if there is really no suitable way, we will not be able to send her to death..."
"There are actually many ways, but it's definitely not a good way to come in a hurry," the red-haired girl glanced back and looked around, and suddenly found that Evan was in the center of the square, and the other party also happened to see herself, and was about to walk over here, "Let's go and do our own things first, Xiaomi, you check that secret exit more, maybe that place can come in handy." As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes in the direction Evan was coming from, and the other two immediately understood and shifted the conversation to where to play next time.
"What are you discussing here?" Evan refreshed, perhaps because it was Sunday, and it was a rare day to rest.
"Good morning, Commander Evan!" Phylistie stood up to greet the other party, switching to an optimistic Kestrel Academy student for a second, "We're discussing where to go on an outing next week, why don't you recommend some places from Lord Commander?"
"If you want to recommend a place, you might as well go to the old city ruins of Mallot, which is in the city, but it is now deserted. He walked over and tried to touch Xiaomi's hair, but the other party immediately avoided it.
"The ruins of the old city sound good, so let's go there next time. Felisty readily agreed, and Avi immediately laughed and said she would tell Stitch about it. Everyone began to talk about other things, but Avi noticed that Evan's expression was strangely calm, didn't he know about the murder that had taken place in the orphanage?
When Avi returned to the house, Big Nose Fan immediately locked the door, then sat down in a chair and let Avi sit on his bed, "Okay, it's time to confess to me." ”
On the way back, Avi began to weigh what to tell and what to hide. In the end, Avi decided to hide what was related to Bennicott and "push" part of the truth to Wolfgang with the voice of the humanoid beast.
"Do you remember the strange man you met in the forests north of the Papal States?"
"Oh, that weird man with long arms and infinite strength, of course remember, what's wrong?"
"It's a long story, don't be scared. Avi then told the story he had made up to Big Nose Fan. He said that the strange man named Wolfgang was able to communicate with him, and that he also claimed that he had escaped from the capital of the Kingdom of Salins, which caused the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sallins to pursue him. He told himself that there was a secret research institute in Mallot's orphanage, where strange research was going on, and it was related to the human body. Because of this, Avi himself often went to the orphanage to inquire around, and the last time he visited the White Orphanage, he was puzzled by some strange words from the director. Together, Avi was intrigued, and that night he secretly climbed over the walls of the White Orphanage to find out.
"It seems that you guy is really curious, and you are still thinking about things for so long," Fan couldn't sit still halfway through hearing this, he stood up and paced back and forth, "Although I'm also idle, I don't plan to get involved in such boring things, even if you find the truth?"
"I don't know, I'm just curious. Avi knew that saying this would discourage the other person from asking.
"Hmm... No wonder they take in those orphans..."Fan said suddenly.
"It may also be related..."
"Hmm... Although I am not interested in your search for the truth, if your curiosity affects me, I will be in trouble, so you must inform me of any actions in the future, and I will accompany you!"
