Haolan's heart skipped a beat when he was asked this question out of the blue.
Oh my god, how come this old lady came at just the right time?
He subconsciously glanced at Hou Liang next to him, and happened to meet his eyes.
Seeing the meaningful sarcasm in the man's eyes, his eyes widened instantly and he cursed in his heart.
Is this bastard going to file a complaint?
Sure enough, the next second, Hou Liang's slow voice sounded beside him: "He came with Bai Jingmo."
Haolan: Fuck!
How can there still be such people! Primary school students?! No! Nowadays, primary school students don’t play the game of telling tales anymore!
He glared at Hou Liang quietly, his voice low.
"Isn't that interesting? You already know everything. If you don't tell us the clues, we can't find them ourselves!"
Hou Liang paused.
How should he tell Haolan? In fact, he had never been upstairs himself.
At that time, Hou Liang thought about going upstairs to take a look, but as soon as he stepped out of the stairs, an ominous atmosphere suddenly filled the dim stairwell, as if the owner upstairs did not welcome his arrival and was full of warning.
The sixth sense was sounding the alarm in my mind.
If we go one step further, the consequences could be serious.
Hou Liang was frightened instantly. He didn't dare to act rashly alone, so he waited until Bai Jingmo came.
He didn't go up, but that doesn't mean he wanted Bai Jingmo to go up.
The main reason is that Bai Jingmo will definitely not share any clues with him.
Thinking of this, Hou Liang suddenly asked Hao Lan: "If you find any clues, will you tell me?"
Hao Lan almost laughed when he heard that.
No, man, there is nothing in their place, where would the clues come from?
He resisted the urge to complain and said with a grin, "Yes, I do know one thing over there, do you want to hear it?"
"What?"
"I know where the orphanage's trash can is. You don't have to take a detour to throw away your trash in the future."
Hou Liang: “…”Are you poisonous?
Seeing the man's disgusted and disbelieving eyes, Haolan shrugged helplessly.
"Look, I told you and you didn't believe me. What clues could I find in that shabby warehouse?"
“…”
The main thing is, who would dare to believe this?
The old woman frowned when she saw that they were whispering to each other.
"What are you talking about? Since Bai Jingmo is here, where are the others?"
Hou Liang paused for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said, "Bai Jingmo, he——"
At this moment, a panicked voice came from outside.
"Aunt Lin! Something happened in the square!!"
The old woman turned her head and frowned: "What's the matter?"
The man's face flashed with dissatisfaction, and he lowered his voice and said, "The two new volunteers made the children cry."
Hearing this, Hou Liang next to him was stunned.
He knew Jiang Xi worked there.
Is there something going on over there with Xixi?
Now, no one cared about Bai Jingmo anymore and they all walked towards the square.
Haolan originally wanted to go, but when he thought of Bai Jingmo still upstairs, he hesitated.
At this moment, Aunt Lin in front of him suddenly turned her head, squinted her eyes at him, and asked coldly: "Why are you still staying here?"
Haolan was stunned as he didn't expect to be called upon.
He touched his head and chuckled twice.
"No...I'm leaving too. I'm leaving too."
This aunt is really sensitive.
After he walked out, Aunt Lin closed the door. She suddenly took out a lock and locked the door.
Hao Lan’s eyes widened.
Still need to lock it?!
It seems that this place really has a secret.
He leaned over and asked with a smile, "Aunt Lin, do we still need to lock this place up?"
But what responded to him was Aunt Lin's cold expression.
The other party said nothing, put the key back in his pocket and turned away.
Haolan didn't feel embarrassed about being ignored, since he was thick-skinned enough.
Just as he was leaving, he looked upstairs.
Brother Bo...there should be a way out, right?
Forget it, just in case, he should go and tell Sister Li.
…
On the high tower on the side, after hiding his aura and avoiding Aunt Lin, Bai Jingmo walked out from the darkness, glanced at the figures of others leaving, and then turned around and went upstairs.
The dim and narrow stairwell was unusually quiet; even the sound of breathing was unusually clear.
He lowered his eyes and just as he raised his leg to step onto the stairs, he suddenly heard the sound of humming all around him.
The sound was near and far, and the tone was childish, like a tune hummed by a little girl casually, which was extremely strange.
Something seemed to be climbing up the surrounding walls, making a rustling sound, and a cold breath came from the back of the neck.
In such a depressing and terrifying environment, a normal person would have run away in fear long ago.
But Bai Jingmo was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and touched his neck.
The thing didn't seem to expect him to be so bold and took it away in a hurry.
The familiar touch slipped away from his fingertips, and the man twisted his fingertips and laughed.
He curved his eyes and said softly, "Can you please not scare me?"
In an instant, the air froze slightly.
Who could have thought that a man would make such a weird request.
The little girl's humming voice disappeared instantly, and even the depressing atmosphere in the air disappeared in an instant, replaced by deathly silence.
Bai Jingmo raised his legs and walked up the stairs, his tone still gentle: "Are you angry?"
“…”
Still no sound.
Bai Jingmo walked to the top floor and a wooden door came into view.
He knocked on the door gently and said softly, "Can I come in?"
The room was silent, as if no one was inside.
Not getting a response, Bai Jingmo didn't knock on the door again. He didn't say anything either. Instead, he stood at the door waiting patiently.
After a long while, footsteps were heard from inside.
A little girl's voice sounded from behind the door.
"Who are you?"
Her voice was clear and childish, but her tone was extremely calm.
Bai Jingmo smiled and said, "I'm a new volunteer."
"Volunteers?" The little girl seemed to laugh. "Auntie Lin won't let volunteers find this place."
Hearing this, the man asked gently: "Do you want me to leave?"
“…”
The little girl stopped talking.
After a long while, the old wooden door suddenly made a harsh turning sound.
"Squeak——" the door was quietly opened a crack.
A pair of beautiful black eyes showed from inside. The little girl's eyes were round and open, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised.
Her facial features were small and tender, with her hair sticking softly to her cheeks. She looked adorable and cute. At this moment, she was staring at Bai Jingmo in front of her with a bit of curiosity and vigilance.
At first glance, it was a smaller version of Yu Li.
Seeing this, Bai Jingmo's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart felt like it was pierced by an arrow, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his fingertips curled up slightly in restraint.
...so cute.
