It was very deserted on the way to the paper shop. I wonder if it was because there were fewer and fewer people surviving.
"You just said you knew where the exit was?" Xiao Xiaobin asked.
Bian Han didn't look at him, but just continued walking in the direction of the paper shop, and then said: "I'm not too sure, but I am definitely related to that paper house. All the answers will be revealed when we get there."
After saying this, everyone was silent, and Bian Han told them what happened that day.
"Didn't Shanmu and I go to the paper shop to investigate that day? When I got the box on the top, the boss was extremely nervous, and he directly told me that fireworks were prohibited here. While saying this, he looked at the lighter in my pocket. But I never took out the lighter. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. After all, fireworks should be strictly prohibited in places like paper shops. But the strange thing is that when I walked around in other places, the bosses behaved normally. Only when I get close to that paper house will my boss look worried," Bian Han said.
"Is that why you kept bargaining with the boss for a paper house that day?" Wen Sengyu asked.
Bian Han nodded and said, "Well, no matter what this thing can do, let's get it first."
Unknowingly, a group of them arrived at the door of the paper shop. The boss was smoking leisurely and elegantly inside, and he didn't seem worried about the fire.
Bian Han walked over first and greeted the boss with a playful smile.
"Boss, long time no see."
When the paper shop owner saw Bian Han, he frowned instantly, but still said with a fake smile: "Long time no see, what do you want to buy this time?"
Bian Han pointed to the box high up and said, "Let's fulfill our promise. I want that paper house."
Although the boss was very reluctant, he slowly walked over and took the box down.
Before handing it over to them, the boss asked: "Have you investigated the secrets of the commercial street?"
"There is no one in the commercial street, but we have investigated the delivery room clearly," Bian Han said.
The boss hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Delivery room? That would be better! Let's talk about it."
Bian Han turned his head and glanced at everyone, and then said to the boss: "The delivery room is a reincarnation passage. People who die here will be reborn in it!"
After saying this, the boss was silent for a few seconds, and then handed the box in his hand to them.
"I didn't expect that you could really investigate it." The boss handed over the box and turned around and left. "Let's go, tomorrow is the day to choose a child, leave this place quickly."
Seeing that the boss had no intention of explaining anything, Wen Sengyu and the others walked out after getting the box.
Of course, Bian Han confirmed before leaving that the house inside was indeed a paper house.
"You said, we have basically got everything we need. Now let's just go back to the hotel and lie down." Hua Mulin said with a relaxed look.
Before anyone else could reply to him, there was noise from the hot pot restaurant in the distance.
"Bah! Is this meat for people to eat?! It's getting stale and stale!"
"Don't be angry. It will be fine after tomorrow."
"Damn it, that's not necessarily the case! Now it's getting harder and harder to grab our ingredients! There are more and more of those stinky out-of-towners every day!"
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Wen Sengyu heard that the hot pot restaurant seemed to be discussing some ingredients. It happened to be almost lunch time, so he decided to take everyone to have lunch.
"Let's go over there and have a look, and get something to eat by the way?" Wen Sengyu suggested.
After arriving at the hot pot restaurant, they came to sit down at the same place. As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over.
"What would you like to order?" The waiter still had the same standard smiling face.
Wen Sengyu didn't even look at the menu this time and said directly: "We will only eat signature meat this time. Let's serve 10 plates of signature meat first."
When the waiter heard about the signature meat, he panicked and said, "Sorry, our store's signature meat is out of stock. We will have to replenish it tomorrow. Please order something else."
Wen Sengyu and the others looked at each other, each of them showing curious expressions.
"But we just want to eat this today, what should we do?" Wen Sengyu said unceremoniously.
"Pull it down! Let alone tomorrow, you may not be able to eat it the day after tomorrow!" said a customer passing by.
The waiter felt a little guilty after hearing this.
"Can't eat tomorrow? Why." Wen Sengyu asked expressionlessly.
The waiter hesitated and said: "Well... the ingredients don't seem to be enough."
After hearing this, Wen Sengyu became even tougher and said, "Can we bring our own ingredients? Tell me what kind of meat this is, and we'll get it."
Seeing their tough attitude, the waiter was silent for a few seconds and said, "If you really want to eat, you can only work hard tomorrow."
After saying this, he ran away, saying as he walked: "Call me after you have chosen other dishes."
After hearing this, everyone basically understood that the so-called "signature meat" they ate before was most likely the children of the orphanage.
"I said why can't you see a single child here? Their feelings have been eaten up by them!" Xiao Xiaobin said angrily.
Hua Mulin and Zhou Shiya retched and said: "No wonder the meat is so tender...it turned out to be made by a child..."
After acquiescing to this answer, Wen Sengyu felt very uncomfortable. According to the previous clues, the meat they ate was actually produced by people in the real world after reincarnation, which also explained why there were no children in Wuzi Town.
"It seems that the infertility of the people here is God's retribution. Wuzi Town is simply a cannibal town!" Wan Qian was not as excited as them, and was still very calm when speaking.
Wen Sengyu suddenly thought of tomorrow's child selection day: "What about the child we choose tomorrow?"
Wan Qian instantly understood what Wen Sengyu meant. Wen Sengyu didn't want to leave the child in the hands of these ogres, so she said, "You have to make a choice in this kind of thing. Let's make the choice tomorrow."
A few of them chatted here for almost 20 minutes, and no one took an order during these 20 minutes.
However, their physical hunger made them choose other dishes. There was almost no meat in this meal, and all they ordered were vegetarian dishes.
After eating hot pot, several people returned to their rooms. They were not sure whether there would be a lunch break today, so everyone did not dare to take a real rest.
As the time approached 2 o'clock, the sound of announcements still came from the street, and I saw that a lunch break was necessary.
After 2 o'clock, the silence continued to fill every corner of the room.
Wen Sengyu and Wan Qian were lying on their beds and looking at the ceiling. They didn't know if anyone would come to them.
While Wen Sengyu was thinking about this problem, the time on the wall had reached 5 o'clock.
The rapid passage of time surprised both of them.
At this time, the phone in the room also rang, and Wen Sengyu answered it.
"What time is it over there now?" The caller was Xiao Xiaobin.
Wen Sengyu checked the time on the wall again, and then replied: "5 o'clock."
"I thought I was wrong. It seems that those of us who got the things have no lunch break." Xiao Xiaobin said.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Sengyu kept thinking about one question, that is, how many people had successfully received the lollipops.
"Did Xiao Xiaobin call?" Wan Qian asked.
Wen Sengyu nodded.
"It seems we have nothing to do. Let's wait until we go out tomorrow~"
Although the time was fast forwarded by 3 hours, Wen Sengyu and the others felt that they had just finished eating and had no interest in eating dinner.
Wen Sengyu and Wan Qian took a nap in bed for a while. When they woke up, it was already past 7 p.m. Since there was nothing to do, Wen Sengyu took Wan Qian for a walk on the street in order to make up for the failed date during the day. Two middle-aged couples.
The scenery on the street has changed. It seems that everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's child selection day. Many merchants' electronic screens that originally displayed advertisements have been replaced with festive "Welcome Child Selection Day".
Even the TV welcome screen in their hotel room changed to "Welcome to Choose a Child."
There were not many people on the street. Compared to when he first came in, there were far fewer people on the street. This made Wen Sengyu even more curious about how many people were still alive.
Since he had slept for a while at night, Wen Sengyu tossed and turned in bed until 3 a.m. before falling asleep.
The next day, he was awakened by the sound of salutes and firecrackers.
"It's too exaggerated... Are you celebrating like this?" Wen Sengyu, who was still sleepy, felt like he wanted to die.
After packing his luggage, he glanced at this room with reluctance. This room left every bit of this reincarnation domain, which actually made Wen Sengyu a little reluctant to part with it.
In the hotel lobby, several people gathered to meet.
"Have you brought everything?" Wen Sengyu asked everyone.
After making sure they had the lollipops with them, they set off to the orphanage.
The orphanage became festive after yesterday's decoration.
The full sense of ceremony made Wen Sengyu feel very uncomfortable. After all, they already knew what might happen today.
There are still many people coming today, and Wen Sengyu can't tell which ones are from the real world and which ones are "indigenous" here.
"Welcome everyone. Today is an important day. I hope you can choose your favorite child." After Liu Ping said this, several more salutes were fired into the sky, followed by cheers from the crowd.
Wen Sengyu's eyes never left the door of the orphanage, because the children would walk out of it soon.
"Children, you can come out now." Liu Ping clapped her hands, and children came out of the gate one after another.
"As I said before, there are only 10 children for everyone to choose from this time." Liu Ping glanced at the children on the stage and said. "Our rules are still as simple as ever. Those who decide to adopt please come up on stage and give your gifts to the children. If they like it, they will naturally follow you."
After Liu Ping said this, people came up one after another to hand over their gifts to the children. Wen Sengyu and the others also handed the lollipops they had prepared in advance into the hands of the children.
Wen Sengyu chose a boy who seemed obedient. His instinct told him that this boy would help him a lot.
After 10 minutes of selection, everyone handed over the gifts to the children one after another.
There are many types of gifts, and there are several types in the candy category alone.
But there are only 10 lollipops, corresponding to 10 children.
After getting the gifts, Liu Ping walked up to the children one by one and listened to what they said.
"Everyone, the children have told me the people they decided to follow. The people I pointed out below will stay, and the others can go."
Then, Liu Ping pointed out the people who gave the children lollipops one by one, including Wen Sengyu and 6 people.
After everyone dispersed, Wen Sengyu saw the little boy walking shyly from the stage. He motioned to Wen Sengyu to squat down and said he had something for him.
After Wen Sengyu squatted down, the little boy said in his ear: "Dad, follow me to the fourth floor to get something."
Wen Sengyu followed him to the fourth floor, and the boy took out a box of matches from a storage room.
Wan Qian and the others were also in the nearby corridor. Wen Sengyu glanced at them and saw that they were also matches.
Wen Sengyu knelt down and said to the boy: "How to use this."
The boy pointed to the door of the delivery room at the end of the corridor and said nothing.
At this time, Bian Han and the others gathered together with their "children".
"This should be used to light the house. The door over there seems to be the exit." Bian Han said softly.
The children's eyes were all innocent, and they brought their "adoptive parents" to the door of the delivery room.
"Sorry, you guys can't go there." Liu Ping stopped the other four people from a distance.
"Why can't we go there?" one of them said angrily.
"Because you are missing something." Liu Ping said with a smile.
