Chapter 986 [Observation] It seems that something not so important has been forgotten.
After watching this clip, Behringer, who had just sat up straight, leaned to the side again and reached out to hug Qianzhu's arm.
I feel sorry for you.
“Death was definitely no good.” Bertrand said with a sneer and a look of disgust.
They're even worse than the Black Organization!
Almost everyone, including those from both sides, nodded in agreement with his words.
Asa, the root of all evil!
Asa: "..."
Hehe.
...
In January, the weather was still very cold, and white snow continued to fall from the sky to the ground.
Inside the orphanage.
Xiaoqian has gotten used to Xiaoye and Shiyi often going out to play, and she doesn't feel bored even when she's alone.
But perhaps this has become a habit for him.
Watching Xiao Ye and Shi Yi leave, Xiao Qian stayed in the room folding paper stars.
Less than twenty minutes later, the headmistress suddenly came over, followed by a man and a woman dressed in luxurious clothes.
Although Xiaoqian was puzzled, when he saw the headmistress waving at him, he got up and went over to greet them politely.
The woman's face was almost half hidden under the brim of her black hat, and when she lowered her head, her entire face was obscured. But from Xiao Qian's position and angle, he could see that she smiled slightly, then reached out and touched his head. "What a good boy."
Seeing this, the man next to her squatted down with a kind smile and said to Xiaoqian, "Good child, would you like to be adopted by us?"
Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She looked up and met his gaze, pursed her lips, and replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, I..."
But before he could finish speaking, he felt dizzy, closed his eyes, and fell forward.
The headmistress was startled and quickly reached out to help him, but the man had already reached out and hugged her, then picked her up. Just as the headmistress was about to reach out to take the child back, the woman's gloved hand swung directly at her.
The dean was momentarily dazed, and then withdrew his outstretched hand.
"Then I'd like to trouble you to help me pack this child's things," the woman said softly.
The dean nodded, still looking dazed. "Okay, please wait a moment."
After she finished packing, the man took the not-so-large amount of luggage with one hand while holding the child in the other, and together they turned and walked out of the orphanage gate.
The dean followed behind without saying a word.
The woman only snapped her fingers after the two got into the car and the car started moving.
The dean, who had been standing blankly at the door, suddenly jolted awake, as if he had been startled from a dream.
She stood there, sorting through the somewhat hazy memories in her mind, looked up at the cars that had already driven away, and then turned back into the courtyard.
"Waaah, I knew Chi-chan didn't leave us behind on purpose!"
Behefinger is holding Qianzhu, and Bertrand is holding Behefinger, which rounds up to Bertrand holding Qianzhu.
The two of them burst into tears upon seeing this.
Although they had long suspected and believed this possibility, they were still excited.
"Then why didn't Chi-chan come looking for us later? Was it because she couldn't find us?"
Bertrand pouted and looked at Qianzhu with a wronged expression.
Qianzhu smiled slightly and replied softly, "You'll find out as you read on."
"Okay..."
Bertrand leaned lazily against Bechfenger.
On the bus.
The woman glanced at the child in the man's arms, took out a communicator, and spoke immediately after the other party answered: "Mr. Gaius, we have found test subject number 1000 and can bring him back to the experimental base at any time."
After some silence, the woman replied, "Understood."
...
Xiaoqian slept almost the entire afternoon. When he woke up, he turned his head and could only see the dark night outside through the window. Against the backdrop of the sky, the tiny white snowflakes were especially noticeable.
He carefully got up and sat down, and found that there was no one else in the room except himself, and it was not a room in the orphanage.
Xiaoqian thought about it quietly for a moment.
He felt that those two people must have brought him out.
He suddenly collapsed in the orphanage...it must have been because of something they did.
Xiaoqian slowly climbed out of bed, went to the door, and quietly opened it a crack to peek out.
It was pitch black outside.
Xiaoqian thought for a moment, then slowly closed the door and locked it from the inside before turning around and going to the window. She stood on tiptoe and looked out through the glass.
It was already very late, and there was no one on the road. He carefully opened the window, and when the cold wind suddenly rushed into the room, Xiaoqian shivered, but still managed to climb onto the window and stand on the windowsill to look out into the distance.
He is currently in a room on the second floor of the house. There are no safety bars on the window, so he could leave through the window, but how to get down to the ground is the problem.
Besides, it's still nighttime...
Xiaoqian glanced around, slowly left the windowsill, closed the window, went back to bed, covered himself with the blanket, and warmed his cold hands and feet again. Although he wasn't very sleepy, he still lay down and closed his eyes again.
As soon as it was light, he got out of bed, went to the door again, opened a crack, and peeked out a few times.
I neither saw anyone nor heard any noise.
But just as he closed the door and was about to lock it, there was a knock at the door.
Xiao Qian paused.
The woman outside smiled and asked, "My dear child, are you awake? How did you sleep?"
He was debating whether or not to open the door.
But the woman spoke again, "Good boy, come and open the door when you're awake."
Xiaoqian looked up at the door in front of her, paused for two seconds, and then reached out and opened it.
When he saw the woman's all-too-familiar long red hair, he instinctively took two steps back.
The woman seemed not to notice his actions, and continued to smile as she softly said to him, "Good morning."
Xiaoqian moved her lips, "...Good morning, Miss Fusis."
"Good girl, I'm so glad you still remember me." Fusis's tone was indeed a little excited, but the smile in her eyes wasn't very genuine.
She reached out and patted Xiaoqian's head. "Now that you're awake, come wash up and then have breakfast."
"Okay." Xiaoqian nodded and was led by her hand to the washroom, where she quietly washed up under her watchful eye.
Fusis looked satisfied when he finished.
She led Xiaoqian to the dining table, and as she helped him to a chair, she praised him, "You're still so well-behaved. We're really happy."
“Thank you for the compliment, Miss Fusis,” Xiaoqian replied habitually. When he saw the man, he greeted him, “Good morning, Mr. Kerrett.”
Carrie replied with a similar smile, "Good morning."
Xiaoqian lowered his eyes slightly and ate his breakfast quietly. After he finished eating, he was sent back to his room and left to be alone.
They didn't seem worried that he would run away.
But in reality, it's true. Xiaoqian is indeed very well-behaved. If it weren't for Xiaoye, he probably wouldn't have escaped from that experimental base.
Xiaoqian sat quietly on the edge of the bed. When he had nothing to do, he liked to daydream.
He didn't stand up until he heard the sound of an engine coming from downstairs, and walked to the window to look out.
Noticing his gaze, Carret, who was about to get into the car, turned around, raised his chin to look at Qian, whose little head was peeking out of the second-floor window, smiled and said something to him.
His voice wasn't loud and didn't reach Xiaoqian, but from his lip movements, Xiaoqian knew what he was saying.
"Stay here quietly, we'll be right back."
After saying that, the man got into the car, closed the door, and drove away.
Once the car was out of sight, Xiaoqian turned around, walked to the door, stood there for two seconds holding the doorknob, then opened the door and went out.
The gate was locked.
But the window can still be opened.
Xiaoqian went back and put on two more layers of clothing, then climbed out the window, carefully closed it, and left the house.
Fearing they would return too quickly, he ran almost without looking back in the direction he had confirmed the night before.
I ran and ran, not knowing how long I had been running. Even when I was exhausted, I kept running, with only the sound of the cold wind whistling past my ears.
He only stopped when he could no longer run.
It was as if the sound of the wind whistling had disappeared from my ears, leaving only the clear sound of my heart pounding.
Xiaoqian, leaning against the wall, continued to leave a string of shallow shoe prints on the thin layer of snow.
However, his face did not have the rosy glow of exercise; instead, it was deathly pale.
Moreover, he felt a sharp pain in his heart as it beat, one beat after another.
Xiaoqian stopped in her tracks, staring at the blood on the ground that seemed to glow white. Her vision blurred for a moment, and then she swayed and collapsed onto the snow.
Snowflakes were still falling from the sky, gradually covering his small body.
He didn't know how much time had passed; the snow had almost completely covered him, but he still hadn't woken up.
Unfortunately, no one had passed by on this road yet, and even if they had, they probably wouldn't have noticed him.
After a moment, a figure draped in a platinum cloak appeared on the road, walking slowly as if taking a stroll.
After walking three or four steps past where Xiaoqian was, the figure suddenly paused, then turned back.
Standing in roughly the same spot, he made no movement except for his cloak fluttering slightly in the wind, but a small figure emerged from the snow.
"Hmm?" He seemed a little surprised. He casually brushed away the snow that was still on the child's body, and the clothes that were soaked by the snow became dry. Only then did he reach out and catch the child.
"I thought it was a kitten, but it turned out to be a child..."
He pinched the cheek of the child in his arms, whose body was almost frozen stiff. The next second, the child's body suddenly warmed up, and his face was no longer so pale.
Seeing this, he pinched the little face and hands again, as if he were playing with a toy.
"An unwanted child?" he said lazily. "Once I find one, it's mine."
As he spoke, he held the child's hand in his arms and continued walking in the original direction.
Xiaoqian vaguely felt a warm breath, opened her eyes to look around, but quickly fell back asleep.
The "sir" led him into a teahouse so secluded that it was impossible to find even if you actively sought it out.
As soon as the door opened, the owner of the teahouse immediately came to greet him, "Oh, welcome, sir, we've been waiting for you."
After glancing at the man wearing a wizard's hat and a black cloak, the gentleman casually slumped onto the sofa, idly waving Xiaoqian's hand.
"Huh? Why are you holding a child in your arms?!" The shaman exclaimed in surprise when he saw what was in his arms.
"I picked it up by the roadside," the man replied lazily.
"Hiss." The witch gasped, rubbing her hands excitedly. "What an adorable baby! Can I hold him for a while?"
Upon hearing this, the gentleman released his grip on Xiaoqian's wrist, pointed to the entrance of the teahouse, and said quietly under Wu's questioning gaze, "Go out for a while, go straight, then turn left and go straight again."
Witch: "? Is there anything there?"
Mr.: “Take a look at the roadside. There are a lot of stray animals along that road. Maybe you’ll get lucky and find a few kittens or puppies.”
Wu looked resentful: "...I would have just refused directly, why say so much? I already have enough cats in my house."
As the man changed his own position, he also adjusted Xiaoqian's sleeping position. Upon hearing this, he said with a half-smile, "Don't forget that you're here to negotiate with me."
“…That’s true.” Wu paused for a moment, raised her hand to touch her nose, and then looked at the gentleman with a serious expression. “So, have you found it?”
"Hmm," the man replied, his hand resting on his temple, as if asleep. "It's with me."
The witch blinked, then her eyes widened in surprise: "Huh!?"
He stammered incoherently, "You#$I@#%&, I've been looking for so long and it's all with you!?"
The man yawned. "To be precise, it's in R's place. I only found out about it recently."
witch:"……"
Oh, shit.
His lips twitched. "I want to see him."
"I'll ask for you."
After saying that, the man picked up the child and left, leaving Wu with one last sentence: "You can keep waiting."
witch:"……"
Oh, if only we could beat them...
After leaving the teahouse, the gentleman took Chihiro directly to the island.
They happened to run into Morataya in the corridor, but the next second, R appeared.
The man immediately forgot what he wanted to say to Merataya.
After placing the child on the bed and instructing R to take good care of him, the man vanished without a trace. However, he did not leave the island but instead went to the top floor of the church.
He casually picked up a book from the bookshelf, and before opening it, he thought, "Hmm... it seems I've forgotten something not very important."
The next second, he leaned back in the soft sofa and opened a book to read.
The quickly forgotten witch: Hey, have you forgotten something important, like wanting to meet my long-lost descendant whom I finally found?
The latter half of this segment is almost entirely about the most mysterious "Mr."
But he appeared for so long in Qianzhu's scenes...
Hmm... a lot of doubts.
Behefinger hugged Qianzhu tightly, tears welling in her eyes, "Waaaaah, that wretched Death, he made Qian-chan freeze for so long..."
"Exactly! That's outrageous!" Bertrand was so angry his hair stood on end.
Morataya: "Hiss, what do you mean by 'a descendant who has been lost for a long time and finally found'?"
Kawasaki Machi: "So what exactly is your identity, sir? Why are you so mysterious?"
Liu Qingyao: "Well, among us, besides the Godfather, the only one who has a direct relationship with Mr. is Chino-kun."
The others: "..."
Well, everyone has different focuses.
