The first night Xiao Di came to the orphanage, it was calm.

"I didn't even have time to ask you last night, what's your name? Where did you come from, and how did you come to be a teacher in such a place as us? Li Peipei always felt that Xiao Di did not look like a person who lived in Xiacheng all year round.

Whether it is the fierce and wanton between her eyebrows and eyes, or her temperament, it makes her look like a person who will be an honest teacher.

Li Peipei has a keen sense that she is very unusual.

Xiao Di only replied with his own name, and did not answer Li Peipei's second question.

"How long have you been here?" Xiao Di asked Li Peipei rhetorically.

Li Peipei was distracted and thought for a while: "It's been more than a year. ”

"Have you ever encountered something that you can't solve?" Xiao Di asked.

Li Peipei looked puzzled, and wanted to ask Xiao Di why she asked this, but after a moment, a red mole appeared at the center of her eyebrows, and then, Li Peipei's eyes became stupid.

"Yes." Li Peipei nodded, as if thinking of something not very good, and frowned unconsciously, "There was a child who disappeared before, we checked the surveillance, and found that he was just sleeping in bed, and we didn't take pictures of him leaving the dormitory during the whole process, but the next morning, he just disappeared."

Xiao Di nodded, and then quietly took back the puppet silk that had been placed on her.

"Huh? What did I just say? Li Peipei pressed her eyebrows, feeling a little strange.

It's like I've forgotten something.

"You didn't say anything." Xiao Di said lightly.

The two didn't talk much and went separately to take care of the children.

That night, Xiao Di still didn't sleep, and carefully monitored the entire orphanage.

However, neither that night nor the next three nights saw anything strange happening in the orphanage.

Xiao Di was not in a hurry, and was patching up their torn clothes with a group of children.

Because Xiao Di has the letter to share the money with each child, she is quite popular with these children.

An Rong sat beside her, and when he saw Xiao Di pinching the embroidery needle and frowning and staring at the clothes in front of him for a long time, he leaned over and said, "Teacher, if you don't know it, just put it away." ”

Xiao Di didn't force himself at all, and immediately put the needle down.

She hadn't seen a needle and thread in years, let alone sewn and mend clothes.

But a group of children living in the era of rapid development of science and technology are very skilled, one by one flying needles and threads, even if the stitches are sometimes not good enough, but they are densely sewn up the tears of the clothes.

"How long have you been here?" Xiao Di asked An Rong.

An Rong scratched his head, "The dean said that I was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage not long after I was born, so it should have been 12 years by now. ”

"They all grew up with you?" Xiao Di continued to ask.

An Rong nodded, and then his expression became a little lost, "Actually, at the beginning, we had more than such a few people, but later, many people disappeared and never came back." ”

"Which teacher has been here the longest?" Xiao Di continued to ask.

An Rong thought for a while and said, "In addition to the dean, the one who has been with us the longest is Teacher Zou." ”

Zou Ping, a taciturn old man, children like to go to him when they have something.

Xiao Di nodded, keeping this person in mind.

That night, Xiao Di still didn't sleep.

She closed her eyes slightly, and let her consciousness radiate, and she could feel the movement of people and non-people in the entire orphanage at this time.

In the first half of the night, nothing special happened, but in the second half of the night, three children woke up at night and made a little noise.

One of the children came back and crawled back into his cot.

Not long after, another child returned.

Xiao Di's consciousness was swaying in the orphanage, but fifteen minutes later, she sat up from the bed suddenly, opened the door and ran in the direction of the bathroom, and as she ran, she also laid a layer of enchantment around the orphanage to prevent non-humans from leaving with An Rong.

It's been fifteen minutes, why hasn't that kid come back yet?

Xiao Di hurried his steps, but he didn't make the slightest movement.

She didn't turn on the light, pushed open the bathroom door in the dark, and looked for people from compartment to compartment by the thin planetary light outside.

"Tick."

The faucets that had fallen into disrepair were still dripping, and the faint echo sounded creepy in the stillness of the night.

Xiao Di didn't seem to be affected at all, and looked for people one by one very calmly.

However, after looking at all five compartments, she could not find only the third child.

She immediately went to look at the bathroom window.

There was only one window in the bathroom, open close to the ceiling, and there was nothing under the window to climb onto.

Besides, even if you can climb up, a small window that is only about 15 centimeters high, what child can get out of it?

Xiao Di's brows furrowed.

But when something happened here, she didn't feel any mental fluctuations anywhere.

It's weird.

If it weren't for the fact that this was interstellar, Xiao Di would even have to lean on the side of gods and ghosts.

Xiao Di reached for the window, but at this moment, she vaguely felt something flickering in the corner of her eye.

She turned her head to look for the source of the reflection, and after a few moments locked her gaze on the doorway of the last cubicle.

She crouched down and reached for the reflection on the ground.

The moment the thing touched the skin, the cold and slippery touch made Xiao Di frown.

She pinched the thing in front of her eyes with a feeling of nausea, and lit a cluster of flames, only to see that the reflective object was a gray fish scale with white edges.

Is it an aquatic beast?

Xiao Di speculated in his heart, but except for this fish scale, there was no other residue in the bathroom, which made Xiao Di have no idea where to start.

She didn't linger any longer, and went straight back to the orphans' dormitories to check them out.

It's An Rong who is gone.

Xiao Di thought of An Rong's eyes, and remembered the vigilance that he had always carried in his eyes.

She didn't alarm anyone, erased the surveillance of the time she had been out, and then went back to the dormitory to lie down again.

Early the next morning, the dean made rounds and knew almost immediately that An Rong had disappeared.

"Quick! Check the monitoring quickly! The dean's voice trembled a little.

She knew that there would be no results from checking the surveillance, but she still subconsciously wanted to know what happened in the early morning.

As soon as Xiao Di went out, he saw that the children's dormitory was already full of teachers and children.

When the dean saw Xiao Di through the crowd, his eyes immediately lit up, and he pushed away the crowd and rushed towards her.

"Didn't you say you could help me! Quick, help me get An An back! The dean's eyes were red, and his painful expression did not seem to be fake.

Xiao Di nodded, and rarely reached out and patted the back of the dean's hand, "Don't worry." ”

Li Peipei glanced at Xiao Di strangely in the crowd.

But Xiao Di's gaze crossed the crowd and fell on Zou Ping, who was standing at the outermost part of the crowd.
