Chapter 197 Physical Examination (Part 2)
Three minutes later, Chen Xiao'er put down the wet tissue and lowered her eyes sheepishly: "Teacher, you can continue."
"Okay." Milo picked up the plate on the table, grasped the handle of the ceramic knife and slowly moved it towards Chen Xiaotong.
The knife was only as long as an index finger, and the blade was very thin, more like a nail clipper than a fruit knife. So Chen Xiao'er shrank back while holding Xiaotong, but did not get up and run away.
She asked with some confusion: "What is this knife..." Is it a paper cutter used to test children's hands-on ability? Where is the matching origami?
Mi Luo naturally reached out his hand to Chen Xiaotong and placed the blade between her fingers. "It's for drawing blood. Just a little bit of blood will be enough."
A blood-drawing tool? Chen Xiao'er felt a phantom pain at the sharp edge. Hospitals usually use needles for blood draws, but the tip of this knife is also very narrow, so a cut might not hurt much.
She was still hesitating, but Xiaotong had already stretched out her little hand and reached out.
rustle.
The blade cut through the skin, and a trace of blood appeared on the fingertips. Miluo pinched Xiaotong's fingers and squeezed them gently, and a drop of bright blood fell into the plate.
Tick, tick. When she squeezed out the third drop, Chen Xiaotong rolled her eyes cutely and retracted her finger.
"Ouch." Chen Xiao'er held her sister's hand, hugged her close, and shook her knees. "Xiaotong, you're so brave~ It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
"Yeah." Chen Xiaotong leaned on her sister's chest and turned her head proudly.
Milo swiftly opened the window on the wall and handed the plate of blood beads and half an apple to the staff outside.
If there were no zero-reset effect, breaking through the church's blockade would require the help of a grand sacrificial ceremony.
However, in front of Chen Xiao'er, no matter how tight the seal is, it is just "a house with a door and a lock."
The second experiment also went very smoothly.
Before Chen Xiao'er woke up, the newborn snake regarded most tests that touched it as a provocation. But after her "sister" woke up, she didn't lose control or get angry even when a strange object poked her finger.
At the same time, in the test before Chen Xiao'er woke up, the body defense of the newborn snake was far higher than the x3 level, at least reaching the average level of the abyss behemoth.
A strange object without a number and special abilities could actually cut through its skin. This shows how terrifying the effect of [Zeroing] on the strange object is.
Milo picked up the last red velvet box and walked towards Chen Xiao'er step by step, standing two meters away from her.
"The school badge is inside." This time, she didn't put it in Chen Xiao'er's hands, but handed it to Chen Xiaotong. "You need to go to the sealed cabin over there for the intelligence test. All the procedures have been simplified."
"The final test requires a furnace. This step cannot be omitted."
"Oh." Chen Xiaotong took the box calmly and opened it in front of her. Inside was a ruby brooch, with a relief image of a cherry and a miniature apple.
The Newborn Snake looked at the "school emblem" that appeared out of thin air and snorted, "What if I break the computer in the sealed cabin? Will you ask me to pay for it?"
"Your furnace is very precious, isn't it? Aren't you afraid I might damage it?"
"Xiaotong!" Chen Xiao'er shouted a warning, but her eyes were full of pleading at the professor: "Teacher, Xiaotong is usually very polite. Maybe, maybe she is a little uncomfortable."
The Chen family is so brave that they even dare to hire someone to kill someone.
There might still be people out there looking for us. Even if we call the police, it's hard to guarantee that Xiaotong will be under 24-hour surveillance. Hiring bodyguards also has risks. They are just two orphans and don't have many connections or deterrent power.
Among all the institutions, only Taoli University, which has the means and reputation, is the most suitable.
Even if they would take away the inheritance left by her mother, at least they could ensure that Xiaotong lived to adulthood and graduated safely, so that she could live a normal life when she grew up.
"Don't worry, the school will definitely admit her." Milo smiled reassuringly and pressed the button on the wall to open the alienated furnace.
The Hundred Refining Furnace can be seen as a numbered object specifically used to destroy rare objects and dissolve anomalies, and it can also be seen as a part of the Taoli University building, a functional area.
A human being would not be seriously injured if a capillary was broken, and the same applies to abnormal buildings.
After receiving the teacher's assurance, Chen Xiao'e took Xiaotong's hand and walked to the sealed cabin. The cabin was close to the wall, and behind the open door, a running computer could be seen.
"Don't blame me if it breaks." Xiaotong stood at the door with her hands on her hips. After being gently pushed by her sister, she sat down in front of the computer obediently, pretending to be testing it seriously.
Milo pressed the button, and the hatch closed tightly. Chen Xiao'er rubbed her hands nervously and stood outside waiting.
Ding, ding. A warning tone sounded, and a deep red light illuminated the cabin.
About half an hour later, the hatch reopened.
Chen Xiaotong jumped out of the sealed cabin and clapped her hands. "I was very careful and didn't break the keyboard."
“I was very careful not to break the link.”
"Okay~" Seeing that her sister was still in the mood to joke, Chen Xiao'er's heavy mood also lightened a little. She picked up Xiaotong and spun around, then looked at Mi Luo: "Teacher, where will Xiaotong live in the future?"
Miroku pressed the button to open the door, and the silver-white metal door slowly rose. "The school has arranged a special single dormitory for her, right below yours. She will have someone to teach her during her practical classes, so you can take her with you."
Directly below? It should be the basement.
Chen Xiao'e walked out with Xiaotong, silently thanking the school for their humane arrangements. Perhaps it was because her mother's inheritance was so generous that the school was willing to allow the teachers to give her special attention!
As for extracurricular activities together, maybe they think it is not convenient for disabled children to participate in activities with other children, so it would be better to let the older sister and senior students take care of them?
The professor walked them all the way to the end of the corridor. Chen Xiao'er turned around in front of the elevator, patted Xiaotong's back, and bowed together: "Xiaotong will be in the hands of the teachers from now on. Thank you."
As an older sister, she can accompany Xiaotong as she grows up, but she cannot guarantee her education and health.
She hopes that her sister's future study life will be peaceful and smooth, and that she will meet a good teacher like Professor Miroku, so that her mother's death will slowly become a memory rather than a nightmare.
Milo stood motionless in front of the elevator door. The monster that looked like a little girl in the crack of the door suddenly straightened up and made a face towards the outside.
"From now on, I'll protect my sister. Please, you humans, behave yourself."
An indifferent voice echoed in her mind, and at the same time affected all the observers in the monitoring room.
Milo laughed: The creatures from the abyss are really frank.
[“Oh? Aren’t you afraid that she’s pretending?”] The devil’s voice fluctuated slightly.
It doesn't matter. The professor pushed his glasses up and watched the elevator sink from the surface into the abyss.
"It's just a creature from the abyss. The only one I care about is Chen Xiao'er."
Sorry, Chen Xiao'er.
Milo turned around silently. Between you and "Chen Xiaotong", the only one I want to protect is you.

......
The elevator opened, and outside was the narrow corridor of the dormitory building. Fluorescent tubes lit up one by one, illuminating the path deep inside for the two sisters.
Finally back, even the smell of dust is so familiar.
Chen Xiao'er breathed a sigh of relief.
She took Xiaotong's hand and walked inside, her finger drawing an arc in the air: "This is the dormitory area. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the school, but you can't run around casually."
She closed her mouth halfway through her words and bit her tongue in embarrassment: Oh, Xiaotong obviously has difficulty walking, how could she run far away without someone's support.
Seriously, I lost my mind after fainting.
"?" Chen Xiaotong felt her right leg sink, but she quickly mobilized the energy in her body, allowing the heavy pressure to quietly dissipate.
She followed her sister and continued walking forward, observing the rooms where humans lived with some curiosity. Since her sister liked the human settlement so much, there must be something interesting there, right?
Xiaotong looked left and right, and saw a gray-black fleshy mucus spreading out from the corner, meeting her sight.
Hmm~ Abyssal creatures living in human settlements?
That "Glory" should have some rules to seal the inner cracks, so this is a small minion deliberately put in to replenish the energy?
"Sister, over there." She stretched her fingers, and Chen Xiao'er looked to the side and found that the aunt from the convenience store was shrinking her head and trying to close the window.
"Auntie, I'm here to buy something." She hurriedly ran over with her sister and grabbed a box of fruit candy before her aunt closed the window.
Xiaotong followed her example and quickly picked up a bunch of snacks. Xiao'er patted her hand gently, "Don't take so much at once, you won't be able to finish them. And remember to pay. Look, this is your campus card."
She had just taken out her campus card and was about to swipe it when she saw the aunt shove the snacks aside and yell at them, "These are my gifts for the children. Don't be polite!"
"This is my tribute to you. Please spare my life!"
"How can I do that?" Chen Xiao'er said before she could stop him. The window slammed shut. A few seconds later, the blinds inside slid down, covering the window tightly.
Chen Xiaotong stood on tiptoe and used her skirt to hold the snacks. "Don't worry about it, sister. She's probably in a hurry to go home."
is that so.
Chen Xiao'er took back her campus card. She felt that the aunt in the canteen looked a little panicked. Maybe something happened at home.
Beep beep.
She picked up the phone and gently swiped the vibrating screen.
[Zero: The student union just called me over. Should I go to the dormitory and wait for you now?]
【Xiao Ai: OK~】
Chen Xiao'er took her sister's hand and walked towards Dormitory 0. "You must get along well with your classmates in the future. But if anyone bullies you, tell me immediately and I'll handle it!"
Xiaotong raised her furry head and said seriously, "If anyone bullies me, please tell me and I will take care of it."
Chen Xiao'er touched her sister's little head and nodded silently.
After the two sisters left, the crack in the darkness wrinkled twice and spewed out a large pool of pus and shiny sticky substances, like a sea slug crushed by the sole of a shoe.
When you zoom out and take in the entire cubic dormitory building, you'll see golden lines weaving back and forth on the wall surface, finally trembling gently and transforming into solid tiles.
