CHAPTER XXVII
readx;
Avi first made sure that the thing around his neck was really a dagger, and then slowly moved his eyes from the other's hand to the other's mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that after ten seconds of stalemate, the ten-year-old girl named Michelle didn't move and didn't say anything. Avi moved his eyes to the other's eyes again, and when he saw the other's staring look in the dim light, he realized that the other person might be even more nervous than he was.
Maybe it's because Michelle's movement has been maintained for more than a minute, and her arm is already a little uncomfortable, or maybe it's because she was suddenly bitten by a mosquito on her arm, and she subconsciously scratches it with her other hand.
Here's your chance!
But Avi didn't catch it. Avi only twisted his neck slightly, otherwise if he froze here in that position just now, it was estimated that it would not be long before his neck would endure severe soreness.
The two of them stood on top of the dung pit like this, and it was not until two minutes later that Michelle opened her mouth slightly, but when she opened her mouth and accidentally inhaled the smell of feces, she immediately closed her mouth. After a while, she frowned and said, "Are you going to go to the hut?"
Avi confirmed that the other party's small dagger was moved a little away before saying, "That's right, I don't mean anything." ”
"You know they're here to get me, right?"
"I don't know, I don't know anything, I don't want to know anything!" Avi had already figured out how to answer during the stalemate just now, "It would be best if you could move the dagger away and let me go back to my dinner!"
Michelle is much shorter than Avi, she hesitated slightly, Avi moved his arm slightly, but Michelle's dagger immediately leaned up, "Don't move!" she shouted very quietly, but Avi immediately put his arm back in its original position, for fear that the other party would accidentally kill him.
"I can't trust you!"
"What then..."
Now Avi just hopes that Ben Nicott in his spirit body can save him - even if Fan and Coral suddenly come here, he may be killed by the other party first.
The little girl Michelle thought about it, and she couldn't think of any good way. Even if the young man in front of him was killed and pushed into the dung pit, it would be suspicious - she herself had been away from her seat for a long time, and she would definitely be the object of suspicion.
"Think about it," Avi began to change her persuasion strategy, "I don't know what you're doing here, I don't know anyone outside, I don't know what they're doing, I don't really pose any threat to you." He tried to analyze the pros and cons, but he felt that something was wrong with his own words.
But a miracle happened, and Michelle slowly lowered the dagger. She looked into Avi's eyes and said, "Then you can't say that you have seen me here, otherwise, I will insist that you sneaked out and became the one who was hunted down by those guards." ”
Avi remembered that the people who appeared outside clearly said that the figure of that person was a woman, how could they doubt themselves? ”
"Well, that's it, Mallote is my home anyway, and if you go back on your word, I'll definitely find you and give you a knife while you sleep," Michelle threatened in a low voice, "You know, I used to be one of the bandits!"
This kind of scare may be effective for others, but Avi has already experienced storms, and even the leader of the bandits with an artificial life weapon has been defeated in his own hands, how can he be afraid of a girl's knife?
When Michelle pushed open the door of the hut and saw that there was no one outside, she immediately dodged into the darkness. And Avi also followed the other party's footsteps and slowly walked out of the hut. He sniffed his clothes, perhaps because he had been on the dung pit for a long time, and it seemed to be stained with a little smell.
By the time Avi returned to his table, many of the children had already finished their dinner and left the dining room for their evening studies. And the girl named Michelle is back in her place, talking and laughing with Adie and Evan as if she had never left.
"Diarrhea?" "Big Nose Fan had already eaten enough, and Coral was also sitting aside, quietly looking at Avi, who was not very good-looking, "The smell on your body is really strong, can't it be feces?"
"No!" Avi picked up a piece of roast meat, but he also smelled a bad smell, and his appetite was gone.
"There's nothing to do after eating, why don't you go?!" Stitch was also well fed, and was waiting for the three guards to escort him back to the house.
Evan and Michelle left the restaurant after waving goodbye to the dean and Adie. At the entrance of the White Orphanage, Evan invites Stitch to go on an outing on the Black and White River outside Mallotte during his rest the following week, and a well-fed Stitch casually agrees.
Avi turned his head to look at Michelle as he left, the little girl hadn't made eye contact with him since she left the hut, let alone talked, and the people who had just appeared outside the hut, most likely the orphanage gardener, had not appeared.
As Avi lay in his bed, he began to think about what had happened today—that white orphanage seemed to have secrets that no one had known, as could be seen from Ben Nicott's words and Michelle's actions. And the artificial life weapon is the key to the orphanage - could it be that the orphanage is the place where the artificial life weapon is produced?
With this question, Avi secretly jumped out of the window after the big-nosed fan fell asleep. After making sure that the night patrols had passed, he made his way to the outer wall of the White Orphanage alone and slowly walked to the main entrance.
The white orphanage is already dark, and it is estimated that most of the gardeners and all the orphans have fallen asleep, and if they sneak in now, they may be able to investigate.
Suddenly, the tall gardener stood behind the barred gate and looked at Avi with a grim look, "What are you doing here, little ghost?"
"Ahh ”
"I'll let the other gardeners keep an eye out for you," the tall gardener with the smell of an artificial life weapon on his body immediately showed a gentle expression, "If we find it, we'll send it to Commander Evan, so it's too late, go home early and rest." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Avi didn't look back, and immediately pretended to be calm and walked back, pretending to look carefully at the ground as he went, looking for the lost item that didn't exist.
The matter of the orphanage is not over in Avi's heart, and he will definitely find a chance to investigate, anyway, there is a lot of free time in Mallot's life, not as busy as when he was in the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and every day he has to think about how to complete the tasks assigned to him by Captain Fidel. As for Michelle's secret, he plans to investigate the orphanage before thinking about how to deal with it - Michelle's strange actions may have something to do with the orphanage's artificial life weapon secret, and he should find some time to learn more about Ben Nicot.
On Monday, Avi followed Stitch into the Kestrel Academy. Avi, who was in charge of holding the book, walked behind the aristocratic imp, while Stitch strode ahead with his head held high. Some of the students from the other colleges were secretly whispering when they saw the two. Avi began to underestimate Stitch's performance, and now it seems that even if this aristocratic imp does not reveal his status as a royal family of the East Oguna Empire, those who are also studying will realize that this guy named Stitch has a big shelf, and maybe a bit of a background.
At this time, a female student came from a distance, "Stitch, why did you bring a little follower today? and he is a very good horseback rider."
"Your eyes are so powerful! You can see this! You are worthy of being the best student in our class!"
"Oh my God!" he exclaimed inwardly, the person in front of him was smiling brightly, but Avi had never seen Felisty's smile so bright.
