Looking at Lily with a determined look in front of him, Xiu felt as if he had seen these eyes before.
Xiu suddenly recalled something. At that time, she and Lily were only 7 years old. At that time, there was a boy in the orphanage who was older than them. Probably because he saw that he was very good-looking, he became very evil. , actually wanted to rape herself like that.
The boy used some coaxing words to take her away, but she didn't understand this at the time. She stupidly thought that this brother was a good person, but Lily stopped her in front of him and refused to give way no matter what he said.
In the end, the furious boy slapped Lily with such force that she flew away. Unexpectedly, Lily quickly got up again, yelling that she had hit someone, and stopped the boy again. He and Xiu looked at the boy without fear.
Lily's eyes at that time seemed to be exactly the same as now.
Sighing, Xiu continued to lean down and look for useful things, and at the same time asked Lily:
"Have the team members been decided?"
"The decision has been made. Stephenson, Dunn, Sandra, Camille, Aiden, and those children, I have all explained to them the dangers of this operation, and they have not chosen to quit." Lily felt a little complicated. replied.
After a two-second pause, Lily continued:
"Actually, I don't have a choice, right? We've all analyzed it, and it's obvious that John was passively 'wiped' away like that, and he couldn't even reveal a single word to us."
"So if it is true, as we have guessed, that every child aged to 15 years old will be 'wiped' once, then I won't be able to escape even if I want to.
"And, on the bright side, if I can get John's ability and physical strength, I think it will also be a good help for us to find John next."
"We...can't...stop...Lily." Aiden calmly concluded as he closed Xiu's coffin.
Irritably grabbing a handful of his brown-red hair, Xiu didn't say anything more and left the basement silently.
"Xiu...worried...about you." Aiden said without changing his tone.
"I know...but we have no choice. I'm going to check out John's room later. He might have left something behind."
"Okay." Aiden raised a simple desk lamp in his hand and looked at it, then shook his head, turned around and looked elsewhere, and only gave Lily a back view.
After taking a look at the "garbage" in the room, Lily took the elevator on the first floor of the orphanage lobby to go to the attic, then went down to the fourth floor through the spiral staircase, and came to the third room on the west side of the corridor. Hands knocking on the door.
But then Lily laughed to herself and pushed the door open directly. After all, the owner of the room was missing...
What catches the eye is the desk located at the innermost side of the room and the two-tiered single bed next to the desk. It is the same as the last time Lily came. The only difference is that Lily came to John's room for the first time. At that time, I found that the decoration of John's room was very childish.
Building blocks, toys, game posters, etc. can be seen everywhere, and there is even a small wooden horse that can be ridden and rocked back and forth collected from somewhere.
But now John has put away all these childlike things. It seems that the time he saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing and caused some mental damage to him?
After taking a deep breath and whispering "Sorry for the interruption," Lily came to John's desk and began to try to find any notes or other things that John might have left behind.
The desktop was a bit messy, and the drawers were also messy with everything. Lily looked a little dizzy, but she finally focused her eyes on a thick notebook with an illustration of a tea cup.
Picking up the notebook, Lily found a brown line on a page in the middle of the notebook. She knew that John had marked the page number, but the specific reason would need to be read to find out.
Pulling up John's stool and lighting the lamp on the edge of John's desk, Lily directly opened the page that John had marked and started reading:
August 17 fog
But it's foggy every day, and it only rains occasionally. This damn fog...
If it hadn't been for that strange experience, I wouldn't have wanted to write a diary at all. It was simply torture both physically and mentally.
Since I went to "that world", many things have been different.
My body gained some strength, I ran faster, and that guy Aiden was never going to beat me.
I could see some golden square-like words floating out from the floor, and then finally disappearing on the roof. I went to the basement and attic to have a look. These golden words would pass through all obstacles until they disappeared from what I could see. The highest point.
Those square characters seem to be the characters of Xia Kingdom? In my impression, only the text on that side is square and has a different kind of beauty.
I only need 2-3 hours of sleep at night to ensure that I am full of energy the next day, but my memory has become a bit worse... This is why I need to write a diary, yes, write this damn diary.
I feel like there should be some other changes in me, but I can't understand it now. It's a bit like... you know what you want, but you don't know what you want. It's crazy. .
Next time I go on a "screening tour", I can try to go somewhere farther away, for example - across the Thames River, to the Grand Theater or London Station. This is really exciting.
This needs to be kept secret from Lily, Aiden and Xiu, otherwise they will stop me and laugh at me.
When I come back with a piece of iron signage from London Station, their jaws will be shocked!
After reading this, Lily couldn't help but frowned. August 17th was the third day after John experienced that incident. It was already more than a month ago. In other words, John secretly Crossed the Thames and went to the London area?
What is that golden text he can see? Xia Guozi? And what does "that world" he refers to?
With doubts, Lily immediately turned to the next page to see what else John wrote:
August 24th foggy fog
God, Lily and Aiden wouldn't believe what I found!
The diary ended abruptly here. There was only such a simple line. Lily couldn't help but take a photo of the diary. What's going on with this John? Did he know that he would come to read the diary? tantalize?
Lily tried hard to recall John's behavior after he returned from his "screening patrol" on the morning of August 25th.
It's normal. There's nothing that worries her?
Is this something John deliberately hid? Or did John say it himself and forget it? But there are so many people in John's team, it's impossible for everyone to forget, right?
Also, did John bring his diary to the inspection?
For the first time, Lily hated people who spoke half-talk so much.
When...
When...
The melodious bells echoed throughout the orphanage from the huge classical bell tower on the roof of the orphanage's attic.
It's 6 o'clock.
