Soon, a group of defenseless toddlers were all taken away by the male security guards as if they were chicks.
The door was closed by the last security guard to leave, and for a moment only the kindergarten director and two children, Yin Zhu, remained in the principal's office. The two porcelain dolls stood there staring at each other.
Yin Zhu's palms were sweating slightly; she wondered what the supervisor wanted to do.
The boy calmly climbed onto the office chair, then stepped onto the desk, and sat down, looking down at Yin Zhu: "Something's wrong with you. You are the chosen one, but you are not the chosen one of Dawn Star."
"Huh?" Hearing a completely unfamiliar name, Yin Zhu's mind didn't process it for a moment.
“The city lord said that there is no need for Chosen Ones outside, so it is impossible for any new Chosen Ones to come to Sin City.” The boy’s pupils slowly returned to normal, no longer pitch black: “Now, the only talented people who can come in from outside are that person’s followers.”
A gifted individual? Not a chosen one?
Yin Zhu vaguely grasped the crux of the problem and finally understood the term: "Dawn Star? That person's follower?"
The boy grinned broadly: "I knew it. From the first day you arrived here, I felt something was strange. If you are that person's follower, why would you expose your companion to us?"
"Uh, because I'm kind?" Yin Zhu wasn't sure what he meant, and when in doubt, she simply tried to glorify herself.
“I’m not the person you’re looking for, and you’re not the person I need.” The boy completely ignored Yin Zhu’s boasting. “If you want to know more, you’d better ask the city lord directly. After all, I’ve lived in Sin City since I was a child, and I can’t remember anything about the outside world.”
"So where is the city lord?" Yin Zhu's temples throbbed with pain, and feeling that the two of them were having a somewhat ineffective exchange, she went straight to asking the question that concerned her the most.
The boy shrugged: "I don't know. He probably hasn't been to kindergarten in about ten years. Maybe he's moved to a different place now. You'll have to find out for yourself. I can't leave my area."
Yin Zhu had a vague idea that the other party was giving her special treatment because of her status as a "chosen one".
This might also include the fact that he sold Sheng Hui.
"Anyway, congratulations on your graduation." The boy extended his hand and smiled at Yin Zhu.
Yin Zhu patted his hand, showing no intention of shaking hands with the boy: "I said, shouldn't you give me some advice? For example, where might the city lord go? Or who is the city lord? Did your mother teach you to be a riddle teller?"
When the boy blinked and there was nothing strange about it, his fair, tofu-like face looked exceptionally cute.
"Don't pretend you don't understand. You've been a ghost for at least twenty years, how could you not understand?" Yin Zhu directly exposed the possibility of him pretending to be naive. "The manager of the temporary apartment also entrusted me to find the city lord. Am I supposed to rely on luck? By the time Sheng Hui kills the city lord, I still won't have found him."
The boy scratched his head sheepishly, his tone a little aggrieved: "But I really don't know, he's always the one who comes to me."
"Hmm, so you don't have any contact information? No phone number?"
Yin Zhu was greatly shocked. In a bizarre world where she herself could use her mobile phone to access the Internet, could it be that the final boss still had to rely on walking to go out, shouting to communicate, and dogs to maintain order?
No, the people of Sin City probably ate the dog long ago, leaving only the first two parts.
“No, he said he was afraid of being discovered, so I really can’t help you with that.” The boy shook his head. “Aren’t you curious how I know you’re not from Dawn Star?”
"No need, I think I know."
Yin Zhu knew without thinking that it must be because one of her statements was inconsistent with the current situation of Dawn Star, thus revealing that she was not from this world, and that's why the boy recognized her as a chosen one from another world.
But this outcome saved her life, so her other life-saving plan didn't have to be activated, which is good.
"So, when are you going to turn me back?"
Yin Zhu fast-forwarded to the next question.
The boy blinked, looking somewhat puzzled: "You're an adult, you always have been."
Yin Zhu was momentarily dazed, as if something had wiped away the dust from her heart, and her blindfolded eyes could finally see the world clearly. Only then did Yin Zhu realize that her body had returned to normal.
At the same time, the office is no longer so bright and clean, but rather somewhat plain and dilapidated.
"One last question, what's your name?"
"My name is Bai Hai."
Unlike other heinous sinners, the poor child who died young has a pure soul that comes to the City of Sin, which is a rare occurrence and is considered a case of being born into the wrong family.
However, at this point, luck or misfortune cannot change reality.
Yin Zhu bowed to him with utmost sincerity: "Thank you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No."
Bai Hai paused, then suddenly remembered something: "Did you pour something into my pond?"
"Uh...yes, because it attacked me."
Yin Zhu completely omitted the part about how she risked her life to switch the goods, and only told part of the truth. Even if the lie detector from the United States came, it wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with what she said.
Bai Hai didn't delve into it, simply waving his hand: "Remember to take him with you, or I'll have to have extra food."
"I'll be going now, I'm so sorry."
Yin Zhu bowed repeatedly in apology.
After leaving the principal's office, Yin Zhu went directly to the dean of students' office to retrieve her phone and cup, and also went to the pond to pick up the other part of the Mirror Ghost.
