Fengjian Tianyu asked in surprise: "Did Shangfeng never find it?"
"The orphanage is different from Bai City. It is an independently run institution. It communicates with the main city every two months and only needs to report whether it is normal or abnormal. This time, Shangfeng deliberately went back and found out that the previous report It will be stamped with the date, but in these years, only the word "normal" remains."
An Yu looked up at the orphanage in front of him.
——The wall that is tens of meters high is pale and almost completely invisible in the wind and snow. There is only one door at the entrance and exit. Just like Qin Zhilu's room design, the door is also undecorated and perfectly embedded in the wall.
He asked softly, "When did the abnormal reporting begin?"
Qin Zhilu glanced at him meaningfully, "Ten years ago."
Ten years ago, the year An Yu left the orphanage.
The howling wind blew An Yu's forehead hair aside, revealing his clear golden eyes.
Those eyes are no longer as empty as before. Even when they are indifferent, there seems to be a faint star of light deep in the heart of the pupils.
In Area 53, Ten-Eyed Frog Tongue also said that it passed outside Area 53 many times and never realized that there was a human city there until - after An Yu left Area 53.
Golden eyes suddenly raised, An Yu stepped forward in response to the sound of the wind, and pressed the button hidden in the high wall.
A cold synthetic electronic female voice sounded: "Identity is being confirmed."
The red light slowly scanned An Yu's right eye.
After a moment, the electronic female voice changed to an emotional tone, "ID number 21301222, long time no see. No matter how long you have been away, the orphanage welcomes you home."
Six people stood in a row and stepped in simultaneously when the door opened.
The world inside the door is bright and empty, with nothing left in it.
A sharp pain like tearing suddenly shot through the depths of his eyeballs, and the ringing in his ears split his brain. An Yu suddenly realized that there was a very strong flash of light just now.
The bright light disappeared in an instant, and the world fell from dazzling whiteness into endless darkness, as if his vision had been taken away forever.
His heart beat suddenly out of control, and he touched his right eye in panic.
The warm leather suddenly grasped his fingers.
"Don't panic." Qin Zhilu grabbed his four fingers and slowly held them in his hand, "I can't see them either. It's not aimed at you. It should be just a short-term sequelae left by that bright light. Once you enter the disorder area If this happens, there is a high probability..."
Before he finished speaking, his lost vision began to return.
The darkness faded, and the empty and dilapidated site slowly emerged from the field of vision.
An Yu turned his head and looked into those black eyes.
There was no one else around them.
"There is a high probability that they will get separated." Qin Zhilu finished the second half of the sentence.
They raised their heads at the same time - there was a huge screen covering the sky, like a monitoring center, dividing the entire orphanage into countless small grids, each small grid reflecting the corresponding scene.
But there was something strange about this giant screen. It took An Yu a long time to realize the problem - it didn't have any sense of technology. There are no edges, no metal, and the picture has no trace of pixelation nor is it piercingly clear like a top-end screen.
It's more like a giant mirror.
The headphones suddenly became noisy, and Tianyu Fengjian's voice sounded intermittently, "The communication within the team seems to be still working, but the signal is not very stable... Have you seen the mirror surveillance in the sky? It seems that no matter how we move, the top of our heads can I saw the mirror surveillance of the entire orphanage. Unfortunately, the pictures in each surveillance were similar, and the figure was too small. I couldn’t find myself...According to the terminal positioning, the horizontal and vertical coordinates are - 995, 16. Jiang Xiao and I are here Together."
Everyone’s voices sounded in the headphones one after another.
Pat: "899,933."
Slade: "15, 16."
An Yu was not familiar with the positioning coordinate function of the terminal. Before he could figure it out, Qin Zhilu said: "I'm with the corner. 21,716."
Jiang Xiao said: "Judging from the coordinates, we are probably at the four corners of the orphanage. Fengjian and I are the farthest from An Yu."
Fengjian Tianyu sighed, "Not only is it the farthest point, we and the two senior executives should have drawn a complete diagonal line. Why don't we all choose a midpoint to join together?"
Qin Zhilu looked at An Yu and said, "What do you think of Jiao Yu?"
"I think……"
An Yu's eyes scanned the mirror surveillance in the sky.
In fact, the layout inside the orphanage is very similar to the outside world. Each area has its own dormitory, canteen, physical examination center, classroom and activity area. The entire orphanage is divided into hundreds of areas like an onion ring.
The only difference is that there is no "core" on the onion here - all management offices are scattered randomly in various areas, and therefore lack prominent landmarks, making it very easy to get lost.
"Don't meet up." An Yu said: "Although the orphanage welcomes children who have left to come back to visit at any time, adults are still very rare. I suggest that you hide away when you see someone."
Fengjian Tianyu wondered: "Hide? Do you have to hide no matter who you see? Why..."
Before An Yu could say "Especially when you see adults, you should hide away", the intermittent voice of a woman yelling suddenly came from the earphones.
"You two over there - please stop and scan your ID -"
An Yu's breath was stagnant and he whispered: "Pretend not to hear, and leave naturally, Qian——"
In the earphones, the woman suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs, "Intruder!!"
"...Don't run away." An Yu insisted, then sighed as he listened to the whistling wind and the piercing alarm in his earphones.
He closed the channel silently.
Qin Zhilu asked: "Who is that person?"
"There are patrol teachers everywhere in the orphanage, checking for abnormalities anytime and anywhere." An Yu was a little helpless, "With Jiang Xiao's ability, they won't be affected, but it may be difficult to move forward."
Qin Zhilu was silent for a moment and commented: "You will be punished."
"Huh?" An Yu looked confused, "What does this have to do with me?"
Qin Zhilu walked forward calmly, "Jiang Xiao and Fengjian are unlucky. But Slade and Pat's weapons will make them very eye-catching."
An Yu was surprised: "Do you also know about that post?"
"Post?" Qin Zhilu paused and shook his head, "I only know that there will be a high-level output system targeting you. The healing system auxiliary is the most core resource in the entire spire, and now it is almost becoming your only resource. "
"..."
That's the truth, but...
An Yu defended in a low voice, "They did it voluntarily."
Qin Zhilu refused to comment, glanced at him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"There is a strong resistance to intrusion here. Adults are too conspicuous and may be interrogated at any time." An Yu paused. "Let's give it a try. Maybe I can still find the archives room."
"Archives?"
"Yeah." An Yu looked around the surrounding buildings and recalled carefully.
The archives where all admission information is stored is in the area where he lived. He had very little waking time and did not like to explore various areas like other children, but fortunately he had a good memory and clearly remembered that he happened to be in a corner.
We have to give the commander an identity and turn Qin Zhilu, the highest official of the lawful people, into Qin Zhilu, an orphan with a high risk of aberration.
An Yu took two steps forward and suddenly stopped.
The distant wind mixed with snow and sand blows the ethereal children's songs into the ears.
"Human beings are fragrant and fragrant,
“The body is borrowed to occupy the light.
"Melting, shaking,
"Grow a new face..."
Behind the snowy sand in the sky, a group of small figures gradually emerged, and among those small figures there was an adult leading the group.
Qin Zhilu listened to it for a while, frowned and said, "Why do I feel that this song is a bit incorrect?"
"I remember it used to be called "Little Human Beings."" An Yu paused, "Now that the words have been changed, maybe the title of the song should also be changed... It's called "Little Freaks."
The crowd in the distance is getting closer and closer, and their outlines are gradually becoming clearer.
A large number of non-human limbs and strange skin reflections are becoming more and more eye-catching.
Quite suddenly, An Yu remembered "Super Abnormal Kindergarten" that the liaison officer at Shangfeng often used to chat with him.
The surrounding area was vast and empty, and there was no shelter to be found.
An Yu looked around while eyeing the abnormal cubs that were getting closer.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Zhilu asked.
"Sir, I may have to hide you first." An Yu said, "Once interrogated, it turns out that you don't have an ID, and you will explode the genetic entropy detection equipment here. We will be wanted by the entire orphanage."
Qin Zhilu frowned, "Hide? How to hide?"
An Yu licked his lips lightly.
He felt that the superior would definitely not agree, so there seemed to be no need to bargain.
A minute later, the adult on the opposite side ran out of the cub team and came to An Yu.
She was a tall, fat, middle-aged woman who was one of the patrolling teachers who could be seen everywhere in the orphanage.
She frowned and looked around An Yu, "I just saw two people here."
"Two?" An Yu was stunned for a moment, his golden eyes innocent and confused, "How can there be two people? Don't scare me, I haven't been back for a long time..."
"Maybe it's snowing too much... Oh, you're back for a visit? No wonder you look like you're about to reach adulthood." The inspection teacher said, "Please cooperate with the identification."
An Yu skillfully and docilely let her scan her irises.
"ID number 21301222, gene entropy 0.2."
The woman frowned and said, "You're too bad... Come on, genetic testing."
An Yu stretched out his hand and asked her to put the device on her wrist.
"Why doesn't the index move?" The inspection teacher frowned and tapped the device, but no matter how he tapped, there was still a pitiful "0" on the screen.
"My genetic entropy is too low, and old equipment often fails to read." An Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, his voice so soft that it was about to be broken by the wind, "I'm sorry... my genes are really too bad... "
"Alas..." the inspection teacher sighed, "I can't blame you, poor thing. Look, you are so beautiful, even though your beauty is worthless."
"...Thank you for your comfort." An Yu tried his best to smile, "What a coincidence, after I moved to Baicheng, my neighbors said the same thing."
The patrolling teacher didn't seem to realize how contradictory it was to randomly check for abnormalities and lead a large group of abnormal cubs to sing. She checked An Yu and immediately reorganized the group of squeaking little monsters. Singing a beautiful song of abnormality, he walked away.
An Yu took a long breath.
