Chapter 154: The child who jumped off the Sansong Tower brought about curiosity about the unknown...

"Bang-bang-bang-bang"

The sun was just above the horizon, and the dull tolling of bells echoed throughout the island of St. Fagus.

A new day has arrived.

The morning breeze is cool, and you can hear the faint sound of waves crashing.

Vifiya and other children were exercising in the open space in front of the tower.

She looked up at the sky, which was an endless expanse of blue without a single white cloud, except for the occasional snow-white bird flying by.

She had been here for seven days. In addition to gradually getting used to Sansongta's daily schedule, her observations had also reached a bottleneck.

"So...hungry..." The little fat man's voice seemed to come from all directions.

Vifiya knew that he was right behind her.

Ever since she helped that unlucky guy during class, the little fat boy has been like a ghost, hanging around her every day, asking her tirelessly, "Can you teach me?"

He even stopped talking about the grilled fish he wanted to eat every day.

Vifiya couldn't understand why he was so insistent. He seemed certain that there was some trick to her actions that day.

God knows what tricks she has, and she herself doesn't know.

The little fat boy leaned over and asked weakly, "Can you teach me?"

"You're blocking my space." Fei Yi ran over and pulled him over, but the little fat man stood still.

He glanced sideways: "I was here first."

Remembering Fei Yi's unreasonable behavior a few days ago, he added, "I was the one who asked first."

Fei Yi opened her mouth, but everything she wanted to say was blocked. She said confidently, "I don't care!"

Weifeiya's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them. She still hadn't responded to Fei Yi's friend request within seven days.

It's normal for her to be wary of inexplicable desires that are too strong.

She thought Fatty and Fei Yi would give up soon, but after seven days, they were still holding on.

And... wherever Fei Yi is, Eddie will definitely appear.

Eddie stood beside Fei Yi, his expression relaxed, his waist turning left and right, letting her and the fat boy play tricks.

His eyes darted casually around the open space.

"Why?"

Vifiya's voice quickly stopped the quarrel between the two people. They only heard the girl ask, "Why are you doing this?"

This was the first time she agreed, but the two of them did not show any joy.

The little fat man groaned: "Well...I can't say."

Fei Yi's eyes rolled, seemingly casually glancing in Clover's direction. She whispered cunningly, "If you're not afraid of being overheard by Sister Clover, I can answer right here."

"You guys..." Nerys appeared out of nowhere, her face full of understanding, "Don't lead Xiao Hui astray."

Fei Yi blinked in disbelief: "Xiao Hui asked me herself."

Vifiya lowered her eyes, hiding the thoughts in them.

She didn't say anything else. The scene here became a conversation between Nerys and Fei Yi about Vifiya, with the fat boy interrupting from time to time.

As the center of the topic, Vifiya stood aside, seemingly out of their range.

A vague gaze fell on her secretly. Vifiya raised her eyes slightly, and her dark pupils met Eddie's.

Neither of them hid their scrutiny.

Even when he was caught, Eddie moved away slowly.

No one noticed the brief glance between the two of them.

A few clouds floated across the blue sky, and Vifiya skillfully followed the same routine that she had repeated for seven days.

The sun set below the horizon, taking away the last trace of orange light.

The Samson Tower stands on the left side of the island. There is no light above the fifth floor, but fortunately it is still night and the top of the tower can be vaguely seen.

There was often someone laughing around and the sound of chaotic footsteps running by.

The sea breeze blew in through the half-open window, and the light from the small oil lamp in the dormitory swayed slightly.

Vifia wiped the damp ends of her hair and put the gravel candy that Clover had given her not long ago into her mouth.

The hard candy had a sweet, salty, and slightly refreshing taste on her lips and teeth.

Vifiya started thinking again in her heart.

What she was sure of for Sansonta was that everyone here had their own differences, either obvious or hidden.

She could probably guess their differences.

As for outside the tower, Vifiya had never been out and had no idea what the outside world was like.

During the seven days in Sangsongta, she had been carefully guiding Fei Yi and the little fat boy to say what she wanted to hear. At the same time, she was also trying her best to be a good child who was well-behaved and did not break the rules.

She did quite well in the latter, at least Clover had been giving her gravel candy as a reward quite frequently recently.

She casually glanced at Nerys who was across the bed.

She was organizing what she had heard today by the light of a small oil lamp.

Nerys, Vifia silently repeated her name in her heart. She did not notice any difference in her. She looked no different from an ordinary child.

During the seven days, whenever Fei Yi and the little fat boy almost told her something forbidden by Madam Maggie's rules, Nerys would always take the initiative to stop them. Why?

Before her gaze became too obvious and Nerys noticed, Vifia looked away.

Nerys has an inexplicable obsession with this matter. Is there any way to stop her from stopping it?

And at night, the nights here seem very special.

Vifiya secretly considered the feasibility of sneaking out at night.

The dark pupils moved and fell on Dai'er, who was sitting on the bed in a daze. The girl's face was pale and her lips were bloodless.

Feeling Vifia's gaze, Dale looked over. Even though today was the first time she woke up and saw her new roommate, she smiled at her gently.

There was no curiosity in her eyes about her new roommate, as if they had been living in the same room for a long time.

Nerys put away her quill and asked, "Dell, would you like some water?"

"No, thank you." Her voice was as weak as her face.

Dai'er developed a disease with no known cause.

This was no secret in Sansongta, and Vifia didn't need to ask too much. Clover would also ask her to check on Dale's condition more often.

There is more than one child like Dale in Sansongta.

"Knock knock." There was a gentle knock on the door, which opened a crack, and a head squeezed in.

Seeing that Dai'er was awake, Fei Yi didn't pay much attention to her. She ran towards Vifiya, followed by Eddie and the little fat boy.

She sat on Vifiya's bed without any courtesy: "I'm here."

Nairis's eyelids jumped, and she strode over: "You won't..."

Fei Yi curled her lips and answered her nonchalantly, "Oh, don't hide it so tightly. We stay in Sangsong Tower almost all year round, and we do the same few things every day. It would drive anyone crazy."

Her eyes flashed, and she pulled Nerys over and got close to her face: "You don't want Xiao Hui to be driven crazy, do you?"

Sure enough, she saw the stiffness she wanted on Nerys's face.

She let go of Nerys and complained unhappily, "I finally found a friend I like in the tower. Please don't lose her. I'll be very sad."

Eddie, who had been slouching since he came in, suddenly looked at her and quickly looked away.

Their conversation was not hidden from Vifiya, and she could clearly see Nerys's expression.

Vifiya showed a puzzled look at the right moment: "What?"

Fei Yi turned and stared at Weifeiya. Her expression was actually serious at this moment. "Xiao Hui, you have to promise me that you won't commit suicide so easily."

The little fat boy's eyes never left the gravel candies on the cabinet beside Vifia's bed: "Because every year there are children jumping off the tower."

"And you look like the type to jump off the Samson Tower."

Vifiya blinked in confusion, her heart was as calm as expected.

"Will I die?" Vifiya asked in surprise following their words.

"Hmm..." Fei Yi frowned, her face full of hesitation.

The little fat boy stared at the gravel candy motionlessly.

"I can't say for sure." Eddie yawned, his movements sloppy. "I don't think you will."

"Really?" Fei Yi looked expectantly at her childhood playmate.

"I can't guarantee it, Fei Yi, it's just what I feel." He answered patiently.

To be honest, what happens to other people is none of his business. It is enough for him to ensure that Fei Yi can survive and live a good life here.

They were discussing topics outside the rules, and Nerys, who had always stopped them in the past seven days, did nothing this time.

Vifiya turned her head away, and Nerys lowered her head and fell silent.

Nerys had her own selfish motives in stopping her, which was completely confirmed from the conversation between Fei Yi and her just now.

Fei Yi knew the reason, and it seemed that Fatty and Eddie knew it too.

So, is Nerys's concealment harmful to her?

Vifiya's mind quickly flashed through all the actions and expressions of Nerys, Fei Yi and the little fat boy in the past seven days.

In fact, she was not unaware of Nerys's kindness to her these days.

"Do you want me to understand?" Vifiya asked without taking her eyes off Nerys.

Her gaze was so obvious that Nerys looked up suddenly, her eyelashes trembling in surprise.

She didn't expect that Weifia would ask her this question on her own initiative. In fact, she could more or less sense that Xiaohui wanted to know.

Because she doesn't remember everything, her memory only starts from the day she arrived at St. Fagus Island.

If your memory is completely blank and you arrive in an unfamiliar place, you'll definitely feel uneasy, right? Although Xiao Hui never showed it.

For some reasons of her own, she tried her best to prevent Xiao Hui from knowing.

But tonight, Fei Yi's words almost revealed what she had been afraid of and wanted to hide.

Unconsciously, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and it became wrinkled.

Eddie's eyes swept between her and Vifiya, then he withdrew them calmly.

"Do you want to know?" Her voice was bitter, which she herself did not even notice.

Vifiya looked at her steadily, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "The unknown cannot avoid all accidents. Instead, it will bring more intense curiosity."

Her words were not really appropriate for her age, but they were enough for everyone present to understand.

They had been on St. Fagus Island for so long, how could they not understand what she meant.

Even the quiet Dai'er couldn't help but glance at her.

"You're right." The little fat boy took the gravel candy handed over by Vifia and nodded with satisfaction.

Nerys unloaded it in one breath. Now that it had been made clear, she had no reason to stop it.

Fei Yi's eyes rolled, and they sparkled: "Do you know the devil?"
