Under the moonlit ice field.
After Renata finished eating the roast beef in her hand, she always looked at the profile of the man next to her intentionally or unintentionally.
Although the other person was wearing a mask and couldn't see anything, Renata just moved her body closer to the other person and could feel the warmth she had never had before.
The warmth was strange.
It doesn't completely warm your body like your usual stove or radiator, but it can warm your heart, which has been poor for who knows how long.
In the past, she always regarded the black snake as her savior, because it was the only one that would not bully her, but would help her open the door to the solitary room, even if it was just a dream.
But now, she tasted the warmth that even the black snake could not give. It was communication, love, and the kind that someone cared about her.
This warmth always makes her want to get closer to him unconsciously.
I'm afraid Zorro in the book is nothing more than this.
As for whether the face under the mask was really as terrifying as the nurses said, she was no longer afraid.
After all, someone told her that the most important thing to look at in a person is his heart, not his appearance.
As long as someone is nice to her, she won't care about the other person's appearance.
"Doctor, did you come to me today to ask about the black snake last night?"
After Zhuangruo accidentally rubbed Lu Mingfei's shoulder and drew some warmth from it, Renata suddenly asked.
She wanted to help the other person with something, and this was also the first time she could share the black snake thing with someone normally.
In the past, when others heard about Black Snake, they would either call themselves crazy or put themselves in a solitary room.
This also led to her not trusting anyone here.
"It seems this isn't the first time you've seen it."
After seeing that Renata's mood improved significantly, Lu Mingfei turned around and said with a smile.
"Well, every full moon night, I see that black snake in my dreams. It is very good to me and always frees me from here.
Every time it appears, I can run freely throughout Black Swan Port and visit anywhere, including the library that we are not allowed to enter. "
Renata clasped her fingers, recalling every encounter she had with Black Snake, while explaining what she knew to Lu Mingfei.
"Have you seen it in real life?"
Lu Mingfei suspected that besides Renata, this was also what Lu Mingze wanted him to know when he came to Black Swan Port.
"No."
At this point, Renata looked a little depressed.
"Recently, I've been walking around on the lawn along the base of the wall and going out at night just to look for traces of it, but I haven't found it even once."
"That's it."
Lu Mingfei sat cross-legged on the ice, holding his chin with one hand and thinking.
"By the way, we also have Room Zero here, and there might be a black snake hidden there!"
Seeing that she didn't seem to have brought any help to Lu Mingfei, Renata thought of this after racking her brains.
To be honest, as soon as the idea that the Black Snake was hiding in Room Zero came up, it kept lingering in Renata's mind.
She didn't know why, but now she felt that what she said might actually be right.
"What is room zero?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Since arriving here, he has never heard of a Room Zero here.
"On the floor where I live, in addition to the rooms for our thirty-eight children, there is actually a small room, and the extra room is room zero."
“Originally we thought there might be a child living there like us.
But because there were only thirty-eight of us when we had fun, ate in the cafeteria, and watched revolutionary movies in the evening, we later felt that it was an empty room.
Some brave children once took a look inside and said that it was a terrible solitary room with something like a torture rack in it.
Some people also said that there were actually two children locked inside, and they could vaguely hear their quarrels.
I remember that Room Zero was located at the end of the corridor on our floor. "
Renata tirelessly explained to Lu Mingfei.
The more she talked, the brighter her ice-blue eyes became, as if she had really found something suspicious.
"Is that small room at the end of the corridor room zero?" Lu Mingfei thought.
He walked past that room several times.
But for some reason, he always subconsciously thought it was a utility room.
In addition, there was no sound coming from inside, so Lu Mingfei never paid attention to it.
After Renata's reminder, he realized that it was room zero, which was outside numbers one to thirty-eight.
In fact, it can be said that this is Room Zero, which only children know about except for some people.
"Now that you know this place, let's go and have a look."
Lu Mingfei clapped his hands and stood up. At the same time, he turned around and said:
"Renata, do you want to come too?"
"Well, I want to see if there are any black snakes in there."
Renata tightened the coat that Lu Mingfei put on her body, stood up and said.
"There probably isn't a black snake, but there might be some other things." Lu Mingfei patted her head and said.
"After all, the space in Room Zero is so small, unless there is a Nibelungen inside."
"oh."
Feeling the warmth coming from her head, Renata responded obediently.
Although she didn't quite understand some of what Lu Mingfei said, she felt that as long as she kept following Lu Mingfei, she would be right.
"Come here, I'll take you back."
Lu Mingfei patted the snow on his body and stretched out his hand to Renata.
"good."
Renata stepped forward and buried her body in a white cotton nightgown into Lu Mingfei's left arm.
"So, Zero will not grow long after this period of time, right?"
Holding the petite girl in his arms, Lu Mingfei thought of this inexplicably.
After all, the Renata in front of her was basically the same height apart from the sharp aura and delicate appearance of Zero twenty years later.
At most, Zero Energy in twenty years will be five centimeters taller than Renata is now.
Well, that is from 1.5 meters to 1.55 meters.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei took Renata through many obstacles and entered the "Orphanage" building again.
"Doctor, there is heating in the corridor. I'm not cold anymore."
After Renata got out of Lu Mingfei's arms, she took off the military coat and handed it to Lu Mingfei with both hands.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei took it with a smile.
Soon after, Lu Mingfei took Renata to the door of Room Zero.
At the end of the corridor, there is only a lone iron door with a huge zero written on it in paint.
This is Room Zero. According to Chinese Feng Shui, the room at the end of the corridor is the gathering place for all unclean things and will breed terrible things.
Lu Mingfei, who had never cared about this room before, felt a sense of depression after coming here.
It feels like you don't care and the room doesn't care either.
And when you care, countless tentacles will extend from the room and wrap you into darkness.
Of course, this is just Lu Mingfei's feeling. To others, this is probably just an ordinary room in their eyes.
A dim lamp hung in front of the iron door, the flame swaying in it.
You can see that the iron door is rusty, and even the iron lock hanging on the door is also rusty.
This not only makes people wonder how long it has been since anyone opened this place.
"Want to go in?"
Renata looked at the somewhat terrifying door and hesitated.
"Come in, of course you have to come in."
Lu Mingfei opened the iron lock with the key without hesitation, and at the same time opened the iron door of Room Zero.
The moment you open it, you can see that the room is dark with lights and looks empty, with some rotten smell emanating from it.
In the dim light outside the door, you can vaguely see rows of iron shelves on the left hand side, piled with glass medicine bottles.
On the right hand side is a cast iron operating bed covered in yellow rust spots.
Apparently, this is a converted operating room that just looks a bit like a meat factory.
"Twenty of the broken paths, illuminate the celestial sphere!"
A bright ball of light flew along Lu Mingfei's arm to the top of the room.
In just an instant, the entire appearance of Room Zero shrouded in darkness appeared.
The dark corners that could not be illuminated by lights before became clear in the eyes of Lu Mingfei and Renata.
"so beautiful."
Renata opened her ice-blue eyes and looked at the Sky Sphere with twinkling eyes.
Apparently she was attracted by the ghost way used by Lu Mingfei.
But in just the next moment, she shifted her gaze to the dark corner before.
Because she heard breathing sounds other than hers and Lu Mingfei's.
In the corner, a pale human figure was lying on a cast-iron recliner. The man was wearing a straitjacket made of tough white linen, with a dozen wide belts sewn all over his body.
Renata also wore this kind of straitjacket once.
After the belt was fastened, he could only lie flat on his back stiffly. His whole body was like a pupa trapped in a cocoon. It was difficult to even twist his neck. It was really more uncomfortable than death.
Compared to wearing a straitjacket, being in confinement is a kind of enjoyment.
Renata didn't expect that there was actually a disobedient child locked up here. He had been wearing this straitjacket for God knows how long.
But this child can actually sleep sweetly!
She had never seen this boy before. He could be seen wearing a wire mask, and an Asian face could be seen through the mask.
She is almost delicate and delicate, with black hair covering her broad forehead and dark and straight eyebrows.
Different from Renata's ordinary shock, Lu Mingfei saw the child trapped in a straitjacket in front of him.
It's a shock, a shock, shock again and again!
What he never expected was that even if he found Zero in Black Swan Port, how could he still see Lu Mingze here!
Lu Mingze is still in human form!
In Lu Mingfei's impression, Lu Mingze appeared in front of him, either in a dream, or in the form of a missing or spiritual body.
No wonder it felt so familiar when I was dragged into a dream.
Because dreams are the power of Lu Mingze himself.
But what Lu Mingfei was not sure about was whether the Lu Mingze who looked twelve or thirteen years old in front of him was the Lu Mingze who really appeared in the past, or the one who always talks about kings, gods, rebellious ministers and so on in the future. Lu Mingze.
At this moment, Lu Mingze, who was comfortable in his straitjacket, woke up.
His black eyes were extremely lively, with a strange feeling of water ripples undulating deep in his pupils.
He stared at Lu Mingfei and Renata with a playful expression.
But before he could even say a few words in a pretentious manner, he was done.
I only heard the man in front of me wearing a military uniform and an iron mask say coldly:
"In the world of ninjas, people who don't abide by the rules and regulations are called trash, but people who don't value their companions are worse than trash!"
"???"
The boy in front of him looked at Lu Mingfei in confusion.
"Is this sentence not familiar to you?" Lu Mingfei said thoughtfully, "Then let me change it."
"Wherever leaves are flying, fire will burn!"
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"
The boy who was restrained in the chair felt that the new doctor was not stupid.
Well, Lu Mingfei was sure that this was not the Lu Mingze he knew who had gone to Konoha Village to study. (End of chapter)
