Chapter 8 Zero

When she was alone, one of Renata's favorite things to do was smashing the wall skin at the children in the room.

There's no reason for doing this, it's just boring and having fun.

Don't look at her well-behaved and honest on the surface, but in fact, she is a bad person, this time because she has made new friends, so she restrained her behavior, but she didn't expect that the other party would have the same hobbies as her.

She remembered that when she sneaked into the library alone on a full moon night, she once flipped through the phrase in a book, called "Things gather by like, and people by groups", and she didn't quite understand what it meant at that time.

…… But now, she seems to understand a little.

Sure enough, teaching by example is always the best way to educate.

"Alright, let's go, let's go somewhere else."

Clapping his hands, Mu Qingtong took his gaze back from the room.

"These people don't make me feel like human beings at all......"

When the lizard is asleep, if it feels a change in the wind around it, it will not wake up immediately, but a part of the nervous system will wake up first, check the movement around it, and if it is okay, it will continue to sleep.

The children in the room behaved like lizards.

"They all had surgery to get into this."

Walking beside Mu Qingtong, Renata whispered.

"Those surgeries feel terrible, I heard that they are going to cut people's brains out, don't look at their normal behavior, but once the sound of the bang in the nurse's hand sounds, they will all turn into a moving corpse. So here, it's better not to make a mistake. ”

"Surgery...... It looked like I was going to be pulled for surgery in a few days. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingtong spoke.

"The nurses thought I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I listened to what they said...... Renata? ”

Stopping, Mu Qingtong looked at the other party who suddenly stopped behind him with some confusion.

For some reason, she noticed that the other party's body was trembling slightly.

“…… Don't have surgery. ”

Suddenly stepping forward and grabbing her shoulders, Renata stared at her eyes tightly, her voice eager.

"As long as you have surgery, you will never wake up again at night, I will go to the doctor, the doctor likes me the most, he will not ......"

At this time, she suddenly had a feeling in her heart that her things were about to be snatched and destroyed by others.

She remembered one year a baby seal had strayed into the alley, and the little thing, probably very hungry, was crawling at her feet, whining and looking up at her with a pitiful look.

But just as she stretched out her hand to touch its head, the head nurse on the side smashed it with a shovel, and lifted the carcass of the baby seal upside down, and they had an extra fragrant seal broth for dinner, but she didn't drink a sip, just went back to her hut, hugged Zorro and cried silently.

And now, she has an urge to cry again.

"Don't worry, I'm an all-powerful magician, how could I be tricked...... No, don't you cry? How about I continue to do magic tricks for you? Don't cry anymore......"

For a while, Mu Qingtong seemed a little at a loss.

She never thought that the famous iceberg queen Zero in the dragon clan would be such a crybaby when she was a child.

…… She suddenly felt a strong urge to record the other person crying now and show it to the other person later.

……………………………………

It took a while, and after repeatedly reassuring that he would definitely be able to escape the operation, Mu Qingtong comforted Renata.

At this time, the two of them had already left the corridor and sat at the outlet of the heating pipe, blowing warm air.

It's not as cold as in the hallway, it's warm here.

"That's right, magicians can do anything, and any wish can be granted."

Holding up a finger in front of him, Mu Qingzhi looked serious.

“…… Well. ”

Holding Zorro tightly in her arms, Renata's mood still looked a little low.

She has lived here for many years, and although she has confidence in the omnipotence of the other party, she has no less worries in her heart.

"Alright, let's go, let's go on an adventure."

Looking at the lost expression on the other party's face, after rolling his eyes slightly, Mu Qingtong got up and took the other party's hand.

"With this magical prop, you can now go in places that you couldn't go in before, let's go to places you haven't been to before for adventures, do you have a place you want to go to?"

"Where do you want to go......"

Renata was slightly stunned.

This floor was already familiar to her, and if she had to say a place she had never been, she could only think of it.

- The legendary Room Zero.

Room Zero was at the end of the hallway, a forbidden place that the nurses were not allowed to enter, and she had the courage to sneak a few times before, but there was always a big lock on the door, and she couldn't get in.

Even if they tried to look inside, it was pitch black and there was no light, and some children said it was a more terrible confinement cell, and some children said it was a torture cell.

It is rumored that there is actually a child in room zero, but they have never seen the legendary zero.

"Room Zero...... I've been here before. ”

Looking at the lonely iron door at the end of the corridor in front of him, Mu Qingtong looked thoughtful.

"At that time, I was lost, and before I could see it, I was dragged away by the nurse who rushed to me."

"It's a forbidden place, and it's eerie at the same time, and I rarely come here."

Holding Zorro in his arms a little tighter, Renata looked vaguely uneasy.

"Why, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Waving the iron ring in his hand at the other party, Mu Qingtong looked angry.

"There's a magician's magic prop, no locks can stop us, we can go in at any time, maybe the black snake you've been looking for is hidden in room zero."

“…… Well. ”

After a moment of hesitation, Renata nodded.

After the previous two uses, the durability of the ring has been reduced to six, which means that it can be used six more times, which is enough.

Room Zero was darkly lit and felt empty, and the moment they entered the room, a slight smell of decay greeted them.

The white curtains rose and fell slowly, stained with black stains from the solidification of some liquid, and the light of the searchlight penetrated through the cracks in the wooden strips, and the left hand was faintly visible rows of iron frames with glass pill bottles, and in the right hand was a cast-iron operating table covered with yellow rust spots.

From the preliminary layout, it seems that this is supposed to be an operating room, but it feels more like a meat processing factory.

As Renata watched the scene in front of her with some shock, she suddenly heard faint breathing from the corner of the room, and when she turned her head to look, she found that her fellow magician had gone there curiously.

In this case, she had no choice but to follow quickly.

In the corner of the room, there was a cast-iron chaise longue resembling an iron bed, and on that iron chair was a pale figure half-reclining in a restrained suit.

The other party was firmly restrained by restraints all over his body, and he also wore a wire mask on his face, and when he looked through the mask, he could vaguely see a delicate face of an Asian.

Just as Mu Qingtong looked at the other party with some curiosity, the boy who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes and met her gaze directly.
