Chapter 31: 100 Days of Cooking for the Villain Master - Day 98
After saying that, Zhao Miaomiao closed his eyes, ready to let go of the obsessions in his heart.
But this was her obsession that had been buried for more than ten years, buried in the deepest part of her memory. If she had not accidentally entered this illusion today, she would not have been able to remember the appearance of the orphanage or the face of the director's grandmother.
It is not easy to let go of the past.
Zhao Miaomiao tried hard to recall her life in the orphanage and thought about the good times she had had.
The happiest fifteen years of her life, the most joyful fifteen years, if there hadn't been that fire... if...
As Zhao Miaomiao thought about it, her memories gradually became distorted, and the beautiful and warm feelings in her memory turned into hatred.
The illusion around him also changed immediately.
The orphanage just now suddenly caught fire. In the blazing flames, countless children were banging on the windows, shouting and crying...
But no one could escape.
The outer door was locked, and no one could escape without the key.
The director's grandmother broke the second-floor window with a stool and wanted to tell the children to jump out, but the second floor was too high. A ten-year-old child jumped down and broke his neck, dying.
The director's grandmother screamed and jumped down to see the child, but the child was already dead.
The remaining children were still inside the house.
Without time to cry, the director's grandmother tried hard to open the locked front door on the first floor, but the fire was too big and she couldn't get close at all.
The cries of all the children could be heard in the house. These children were very young. The oldest was Zhao Miaomiao, who was fifteen years old. Then there were ten years old, eight years old, five years old, three years old...
The director could have left to call the police or find help, but she didn't want to leave her children, so she rushed directly into the fire, risking being burned to death, trying to open the iron lock...
Finally, the children huddled in the corner, watching the fire grow bigger and then devour them, devour everything...
The director's grandmother died in front of the door. When she was found, she was still holding the iron lock tightly in her hand...
She was unable to open the lock until her death...
These are what Zhao Miaomiao heard from the police after she came back.
And over and over again.
She was the only survivor of the arson and a relative of all the victims, so she was forced to listen to the details of the fire and the reasons for everyone's death.
There were sixteen children, plus the director's grandmother, a total of seventeen people. One of the ten-year-old children jumped from the building, twisted his neck, and died instantly. The others died from the fire and smoke.
In his memory, Zhao Miaomiao found the police's cold words funny.
She argued with the police, “The ten-year-old child’s name is Wu You.
He chose this name when he was eight years old. He said that he wanted to call himself Wu You because he had nothing.
The police officer nonchalantly said, "Oh," and then continued, "The body of this ten-year-old boy..."
Zhao Miaomiao yelled at him, "His name is Wu You! His name is Wu You! He's not some random ten-year-old boy, his name is Wu You!!"
Recalling this, Zhao Miaomiao had already shed tears unconsciously, and her heart was deeply shaken.
Could she really forget all this?
Can I really abandon these and move on with my life?
The person who set fire to the orphanage has not been found yet, and everyone's revenge has not been avenged. Can she really let it go like this?
As Zhao Miaomiao's heart wavered, the illusion around her began to show signs of shaking, like an earthquake.
The evil ghost looked at it and became delighted. He could not help but continue, "Yes! That's it!
Is it painful? Is it sad?
Then I can help you!
If you give me your soul, I can help you.
Let me help you!"
The evil ghost's hand gradually stretched out towards Zhao Miaomiao, and said temptingly: "As long as you give me your soul, I will help you get revenge.
Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over... "
At the critical moment, a familiar voice appeared.
"Host!!!"
Zhao Miaomiao opened her eyes and saw a boy running towards her.
She clearly didn't know this person, but she felt extremely familiar with him.
"Small system?"
Zhao Miaomiao had no strength left and was about to fall down.
At this time, the boy, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, ran to Zhao Miaomiao and immediately caught her.
"Host, you can't sleep, wake up! I'll take you away!"
Zhao Miaomiao listened to the voice and opened her eyes weakly. She saw the face of a strange boy. She reached out to touch the boy and asked, "Is it the small system?"
The boy complained, “Of course!
Host, how could you not even recognize me? "
Zhao Miaomiao forced a smile and said, "You've suddenly grown up and changed your gender. Who can recognize you..."
No. 99: ………
"Host, don't be so naughty at this time!"
Zhao Miaomiao nodded, "Okay."
Then he said: "Little system, I'm so tired, I want to take a nap."
No. 99 immediately said, "No, no, no! You can't sleep here!
Host, you can't sleep here, hold on, I'll take you away right away!"
No. 99 picked up Zhao Miaomiao and was about to leave when the evil ghost chased after them and blocked their way: "Where do you want to go?
Leave her soul to me!"
No. 99 had a sullen face, not at all afraid of the evil spirit, and said directly: "Get out of the way!"
The evil ghost bared its fangs and claws, trying to attack No. 99.
No. 99 didn't even frown as he said softly, "Golden Finger to Exorcise Ghosts, Evil Spirits Repel."
As soon as the words fell, the evil ghost screamed and quickly retreated several hundred meters.
So No. 99 carried Zhao Miaomiao out of the illusion and went ashore.
After getting ashore, Zhao Miaomiao still hadn't woken up.
No. 99 held Zhao Miaomiao and carefully placed her on the shore. Then he gently patted Zhao Miaomiao's face and called her, "Host? We are out.
Host, wake up.
Host, I can protect you now, don't be afraid, wake up quickly."
But no matter how he called, Zhao Miaomiao didn't respond.
Number 99 was anxious, his eyes red, "Host, don't scare me. Host!"
"So noisy..."
Zhao Miaomiao opened her eyes weakly.
Seeing this, No. 99 immediately came over and said, "Host, are you okay?
We have left the River Lethe."
Zhao Miaomiao was still a little uncomfortable when she saw the face of the boy named No. 99. She smiled and said, "Handsome boy, who are you?"
No. 99 panicked, "Host, you... you don't remember me?
I am a small system!
I am number 99!
I am your system!
Host, you can't forget me!
We've been through so much together, I..."
Seeing that he was really anxious, Zhao Miaomiao quickly said, "Remember, remember...
How could I not remember you...
You are my grumpy and noisy little system.
The one who just asks me to do tasks all day long.
Then you kept crying all day, saying that I bullied your little system..."
No. 99 still cried, crying with a smile, "Yes, it's me.
Host, I hope you just remember me.
It's okay, it's okay, host.
From now on I can always protect you."
Zhao Miaomiao was very surprised. Seeing No. 99's appearance as a 17 or 18-year-old boy, she asked, "How did you become like this?"
No. 99 blushed for some reason, turned away, and said softly, "Wait... Let's talk about it later.
Let's go find Guiqu and the others first to see what the situation is."
Speaking of this, Zhao Miaomiao struggled to stand up and looked around, but did not see Aying's snake shadow.
"Aying is missing, let's be careful first."
No. 99 nodded and picked up Zhao Miaomiao. "Host, let's go and follow the Wangchuan River to find Guiqu and the others."
On the way, Zhao Miaomiao asked No. 99: "Little system, how did we get out?"
No. 99 said: "I got rid of the illusion, changed my body, integrated the golden fingers in the system, and then relied on the golden fingers to get out."
Zhao Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, that's amazing.
The small system has grown up."
No. 99 blushed again, but couldn't help but said proudly: "That...that is.
Host, I have told you that I am a fairy system. How could I, a fairy, be afraid of ghosts?
Host, you don't have to be afraid of anything next.
No matter what happens, I can protect you.
I am no longer a little kid holding you back, I have grown up."
Zhao Miaomiao smiled and said, "That's great."
As she spoke, she leaned gently into No. 99's arms and couldn't help falling asleep.
"Little system, I'm going to sleep for a while, remember to protect me..."
