When Su Bai heard the little boy's answer, he was slightly stunned and moved his gaze downward.

The blue coat on the little boy looked familiar.

He stretched out his hand and gently turned the little boy in a small arc.

The four big characters of "Haicheng Welfare" behind the little boy are particularly eye-catching.

Su Bai sighed slightly: "Ran out of the welfare home? You haven't woken up? ”

The little boy's small and immature face showed an extremely complicated look at this moment.

He mumbled in response, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey, it's a big ......."

Su Bai sighed helplessly again, and grabbed the little boy's hand: "Why are you in a hurry to run, I won't notify the welfare institute, don't worry." ”

The little boy obviously didn't want to believe Su Bai's words, but don't say that Su Bai is now a super real newcomer.

Even if he is just an ordinary adult, the little boy's physique can't break free.

Seeing that he couldn't break free, he immediately turned around and begged pitifully: "I really don't want to go back to the welfare home, you just let me ...... Let me go, okay? ”

"I promise never to come to the Elf Center again!"

It seems that he thinks that his squatting at the door has made Su Bai, the boss, unhappy.

Su Bai looked at the little boy silently.

His clothes were dirty, but his face was unusually clean.

Although he looks malnourished, his eyes are very smart, especially when he inadvertently sees the appearance of the elf center.

It makes people feel the desire in his heart.

It's a pair of talking eyes.

It is not easy for children who have smuggled out of the welfare home to pay attention to cleaning their little faces.

And to have this kind of look is actually even more commendable.

"I can't leave it alone when I encounter ......"

Su Bai shook his head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something first." ”

……

It's still the same barbecue stand.

The eldest lady counted Su Bai and served a bowl of clear soup noodles.

"This kid, I said last time that my aunt was a treat, and she had to give me money!"

"And with such a young child, how can you bring him to a barbecue? Fortunately, I still have some noodles here, let me tell you, the barbecue taste is too strong, and it is not good for children to eat too much! ”

"This kid's clothes are dirty, is this rolling in the mud? So naughty? ”

"Come, drag down the aunt and dust you ......"

The words of the proprietress of the barbecue stall came to an abrupt end, and in order to pick up the little boy's coat, she saw the words "Haitian Welfare".

"This ......"

"Kid, eat quickly, it's not enough to eat."

The proprietress sighed lightly, stopped the movement in her hand, patted Su Bai's shoulder, and left here.

Su Bai was silent, watching the little boy in front of him eagerly pick up chopsticks and eat noodles, and he was helpless in his heart.

The human structure of this world can be said to have been completely destroyed by the dead beasts.

But the more this is the case, the more critical the number of human beings becomes.

In this world, there is no such thing as a wandering orphan.

This is also the reason why the proprietress did not think that the child was an orphan for the first time, she thought that it was just that the child was playing and soiled his clothes.

All orphans, for whatever reason, will grow up successfully under the operation of social welfare, and become the cornerstone of human society.

But the cruel thing is that orphans also have three, six, nine and so on.

Those who are gifted and awaken early will be focused on training and sent directly to the Awakened Academy.

Those who are not gifted, such as young boys, are sent to welfare homes and begin to learn various vocational skills at a very young age.

In other words, the lives of these children have been condemned to death.

Unless it is adopted by a well-wisher, or the child suddenly awakens and walks out of the welfare home.

Otherwise, this child's future may be to contribute his insignificant strength to humanity as a whole in a certain position.

It may seem like nothing bad about this, but in fact, it also wears out the nature of these children.

Su Bai couldn't judge whether this kind of thing was right or wrong, after all, the pressure of human beings in this world was extremely huge.

If it weren't for the brutal decision-making, humanity would not have survived.

However, he knew the child in front of him.

Because he is also not awakened, and he is also an orphan.

If it weren't for the fact that my father and mother left a bunch of legacies before they died, I'm afraid he would have become a little screw in human society......

"Whew~~~~"

Just as Su Bai was thinking nonsense, the little boy let out a long breath.

Su Bai realized that the little boy had already eaten the entire bowl of noodles in one go.

"Is that enough? Would you like another bowl? ”

Su Bai smiled and said, "Don't be polite to me. ”

The little boy ate a bowl of noodles, and obviously became familiar with Su Bai, not as reserved as before.

However, he still shook his head with great restraint and said, "Thank you for your noodles, but I'm full, so I'll go first......"

As he spoke, the little boy turned away.

Su Bai helplessly stretched out his hand and grabbed this somewhat eccentric child: "I said I wouldn't send you to the welfare home!" ”

The little boy probably knew that he couldn't break free, so he turned around and said, "Really? ”

Su Bai nodded and said, "It's true! So now sit down and I'll ask you some questions. ”

……

How could the little boy be able to beat Su Bai, a super newcomer, and in desperation, he also explained why he was here.

The little boy's name is Zhou Xiaofei.

Maybe it's because of the perennial wandering outside, but this child's verbal skills are surprisingly good.

Like most orphans, the boy's parents died in a dead animal attack.

However, unlike them, this death beast attack was caused by the contract beast losing control.

The owner of the contract beast also died at the mouth of his own contract beast, so that the little boy could not even receive compensation and went directly to the welfare home.

But the experience of his parents dying in front of him was too miserable, which also made Zhou Xiaofei extremely hateful for the existence of dead beasts.

So he vowed to be an Awakened.

However, he, like Su Bai, was unable to wake up for a long time.

Unlike Su Bai, who seemed lucky to have an inheritance, the little boy couldn't choose his own path in the welfare home, so he found an opportunity to escape.

As a result, not long after escaping, he was attacked by a dead beast.

Then, he blended into the city walls, and just happened to see the mighty Woods Turtles, and finally the Grouda who destroyed the world!

In this way, he will be in a daze at the door of the elf center......

After listening to the child's words, Su Bai looked at the child in front of him and touched his chin.

Even as he said this, the little boy's eyes looked at Tianxi and Meloetta with envy.

It's hard to hide your love for something.

Even if the child is more mature than other peers, it is the same!

Tian Xi had a sad expression on her face, floating in the air and gently stroking Zhou Xiaofei's head.

"This kid ...... It's kind of like when I was a kid......"

After a while, Su Bai sighed and made a decision.

In his mind, he asked the system a question.

"System, can I recruit employees other than elves?"
