Horror Dolls
After dinner, Chen Su told everyone to take a photo of each child and then go outside to play games.
When they heard that they were going to take pictures, the other children were fine, but Han Muyang, who had been in a daze, showed deep fear on his face.
He thought of the "portraits" on the walls of the corridor, which were all photos of children.
But now, they also want to take pictures.
Taking photos is like taking ID photos, one by one, and the curtain behind is pure white.
60 children lined up obediently, sat in front of a white curtain, and let the photographer take pictures of them.
Soon it was Gu Lin's turn. As soon as Gu Lin sat down on the chair, Qi Yuan, who had not appeared before, appeared in front of him, just blocking Gu Lin and the camera, obscuring Gu Lin's view.
As soon as he saw Qi Yuan, Gu Lin was about to call him, but Qi Yuan raised his finger at him and said "hush".
Taking advantage of the misalignment, Qi Yuan completely blocked Gu Lin's camera, but the photographer seemed unaware and could not see Qi Yuan, and did not notice anything unusual.
After taking the photo, Gu Lin pulled Qi Yuan aside.
"Brother Yuan, the baby went to bed too early yesterday and fell asleep before you came." Gu Lin said.
Qi Yuan was stunned. Normally people would ask you whether you came yesterday or not, and why you didn’t come, but Gu Lin said that he fell asleep and didn’t wait for Qi Yuan.
Gu Lin has always been sweet-talkerish, which can be seen from the fact that he always calls people by their name when he sees them. He has mastered the art of speaking.
Qi Yuan: "Well, you fell asleep when I came yesterday."
Gu Lin nodded his head: "I knew it."
Gu Lin was talking to the air and was seen by Qin Lumu Chenke again.
Xia Yao was not in the same room with them, so she hadn't seen it before. Now she saw Gu Lin talking to the air, and she was frightened and said, "Little brother, did you see a ghost?"
Same reaction as Tan Lumu and Chen Ke.
Qin Lu said: "No, Han Muyang said there was nothing next to him. Maybe he was hallucinating."
Xia Yao glanced at him: "It could also be a ghost that Han Muyang can't see."
Tan Lu: “…”
He had never thought of such a possibility before, and his face turned pale.
This whole castle is almost like a haunted house.
Qin Lu gritted his teeth and said: "I must find out the secret behind this kid show!"
Mu Chenke said: "But those who were eliminated and injured yesterday are all hanging..."
He looked up at the ceiling and said nothing.
Xia Yao said: "So to advance, you have to be in the top ten, otherwise you might really die."
Several people looked very unhappy.

There were so many children that it took two hours to take pictures. After the pictures were taken, all the children left the castle and went outside to play games.
The wind was cold and chilly, the sky was still gloomy, and it started snowing again.
Gu Lin was still at the end of the line, not only because he was the shortest, but also because he walked the slowest, like a little penguin, with his two short arms crossed.
Qi Yuan did not disappear, but followed Gu Lin, still wearing his summer clothes.
With Qi Yuan around, Gu Lin had no time to talk to Xia Yao and Mu Chenke. He kept talking to Qi Yuan non-stop. It was mainly him talking and Qi Yuan listening to him.
Gu Lin seemed to have endless things to say, his words were crisp and clear, and he never felt tired.
His little cotton boots made a rustling sound as they stepped on the snow.
Xia Yao and Mu Chenke in front heard Gu Lin talking to the air. Maybe they were used to it or something, but they didn't react at all this time, as if they didn't hear anything.
Qi Yuan looked at Gu Lin, who was wearing a little tiger head hat and looked even more round, and said with a smile: "Baby, didn't you ask me last time why I have the same name as your brother?"
Gu Lin said: "My brother said you copied his name."
Qi Yuan did not comment: "I can go back with you to see your brother later."
Hearing this, Gu Lin suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Yuan, his eyes lit up: "Yeah, yeah, brother Yuan is coming to play at Zizi's house."
Then he frowned in confusion, "But, Brother Yuan, why are you meeting my brother? He is my brother, not Brother Yuan's brother."
Qi Yuan: “…”
Gu Lin quickly figured it out: "Brother Yuan is Zaizai's younger brother, which means brother's younger brother. You can also call me brother brother."
Qi Yuan was silent for a while, then sighed.
*
Although the weather was cold, Gu Lin was like a little fireball, with both of his little hands warm.
Everyone came to a meadow in front of the castle, but now the meadow was covered with a thin layer of snow.
The 60 children are arranged into 6 rows, with ten children in each row.
Chen Su held a loud speaker in his hand, facing the crowd, and said: "The first game we will play today is the mirror game."
"The rules are very simple. Two people form a group. One person performs an action and the other person imitates. One point is added for each correct action. If the imitation is wrong, all points are deducted and the other person gets the points of the person who made the wrong answer."
"The first side to get ten points, the game ends."
These children are too young and cannot understand slightly complicated games, so they can only play the simplest games.
The groups were decided by drawing lots, and as luck would have it, Gu Lin was assigned to the same group as the little boy who had snatched his flag before.
The little boy's name was Cheng Yu. As soon as he saw Gu Lin, he raised his eyebrows in a bad way.
In the flag-finding game yesterday, he found a small flag. If Gu Lin hadn't used his head-butt skill to hit him, he could have gotten Gu Lin's three more small flags, and then he would have been the one with four small flags and won first place.
Cheng Yu looked at Gu Lin's small stature, which was more than a head shorter than himself and posed no threat at all. He had to take revenge on the other party for hitting him with the iron head yesterday.
Gu Lin also recognized that the other party was the little boy who wanted to snatch his flag. Seeing the other party's provocative action, he was not afraid at all. He snorted and ignored him.
Soon the game begins.
The children in other groups were all very harmonious, but when it came to Gu Lin's group, Gu Lin made the movements first and Cheng Yu imitated.
The movements that Gu Lin made were all very simple. The kid, who was less than two years old, clapped his hands, stamped his feet, and touched his nose.
Cheng Yu rolled his eyes in disdain, but just as he rolled his eyes, Gu Lin pointed at him and said, "You are wrong, I didn't roll my eyes!"
Cheng Yu stared and said: "I am not wrong!"
Chen Su: "Cheng Yu deducts three points, Gu Lin adds three points."
Cheng Yu had already scored three points, but now he made one mistake in imitating, so all the points were deducted, and Gu Lin got three points from the opponent.
Cheng Yu immediately protested, "I'm not rolling my eyes, I'm just rolling my eyeballs normally!"
Chen Su laughed: "It doesn't matter whether you rolled your eyes or not, the main thing is that you imitated the last move wrong."
Cheng Yu still looked puzzled.
Chen Su looked at Gu Lin, the short little ball: "He pointed at you and said you were wrong, you should point back."
Cheng Yu: “…”
Cheng Yu looked at Gu Lin unconvinced, his eyes turning fierce.
He has no points now.
Chen Su: "Next, Cheng Yu will do the moves and Gu Lin will imitate."
Cheng Yu was now one point behind Gu Lin. He rolled his eyes and thought maliciously that he would do some difficult moves so that he couldn't understand them and see how he could imitate them.
The ground was covered with snow. Cheng Yu looked around and found a place with thicker snow, and then began his performance.
He started shaking his head, waving his hands, and stamping his feet, and finally he dived into the snow pile next to him.
Gu Lin had been looking at him seriously. He had a bright little head. Although he was as small as a cannon, he had a strong ability to imitate. He also started to shake his head, wave his hands, stamp his feet, and finally dived into the snow pile next to Cheng Yu.
But before he could get his head in, Chen Su stopped the overly honest kid.
Chen Su: "Twenty points are enough for all those fancy moves in the beginning. You don't have to do the last move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu, who had buried his head in a snowdrift, pulled his head out and burst into tears.
The snow pile looked thick, but underneath it was grass that pricked people like pine needles. Cheng Yu was not hurt as the snow helped him resist a lot, so it didn't hurt much.
He cried not because he was stabbed on the forehead, but because he was seriously unbalanced. He didn't get any points, while Gu Lin got 10 points.
When Cheng Yu was pulled away by the staff, he was still crying loudly. His cry was sharp and crisp, and he was calling for his mother while crying.
"Mom, woo, woo..."
Gu Lin did not stay with him. He just watched him from a distance, pursed his lips and kept silent.
Why does he cry for mom?
He has no mother, and he cannot understand that kind of feeling, but he feels empty inside. But he doesn't know why.
Gu Lin never thought about this question before, but after Xia Yao said it last time, he couldn't help but think about it.
Why do all people have mothers but he doesn't?
Gu Lin was dressed like a little bear. He sat on the ground, digging snow with his little hands and pinched two small balls. The big one was the mother and the small one was the baby.
Gu Lin held two snowballs, one big and one small, and stared at them for a long time.
The snowballs were very cold, and Gu Lin's soft little hands were frozen red. As soon as he loosened his hands, the two snowballs fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Gu Lin wiped his palms on his cotton-padded jacket, put his two little hands in his pockets, sat on the ground with his legs together, and watched Cheng Yu crying and calling for his mother in silence for a long time.
Cheng Yu had stopped crying a long time ago. He was still sitting on the ground with his legs together.
Qi Yuan came to his side at some point and sat silently on the snow next to him.
Gu Lin looked at the broken snowball on the ground. He knew that Brother A Yuan had no family, not even a brother, and definitely no mother.
Gu Lin said: "Brother Yuan, do you miss your mother?"
Qi Yuan said: "I don't have a mother."
Gu Lin puffed up his cheeks and said in a crisp voice: "The cub has no mother either!"
Qi Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "You have a flower of hope. If you make a wish to it sincerely, you may see your parents one day."
Gu Lin pursed his lips again and stopped talking.
The glass bottle that Aunt Skeleton gave him before contained butterflies and roses, which were the flowers of hope.
The little baby Gu Lin should be at the age where he would snuggle in his mother's arms and roll around to act cute. The older kids would call for their mothers when they cried, but Gu Lin doesn't even like to cry.
Gu Lin hugged his little arms and his little face was round and chubby.
When he sees his parents, he will ask them why they don't want the baby anymore!
