I Wasn’t Born Lucky

The knocking sound was getting closer and closer to Xiao Li, and the invisible "person" was knocking on the wall in his ear, and every click seemed to hit his heart.

Xiao Li hadn't reacted yet at first, but after the voice clearly distinguished different intervals and tones, a guess emerged in his heart-Morse code?

The kid in this room seems to like this kind of clues hidden underneath, instead of telling them plainly. Even the last time he urged him to go, he had to write a bad hidden poem—if there were any. Opportunity, Xiao Li wanted to give him a book called "How to Write a Poem (Primary School Edition)".

After the last short syllable, the other party stopped beating, and the nearly broken teddy bear slowly collected the original white paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the corner.

Xiao Li recalled the number of times the percussion pauses, a long tone, a short tone-N, E, W, S, P, A, P, E, R... Newspaper!

During the day, Xiao Li walked around the whole building. There was no library here, but there was a reading room. At that time, it was clean and tidy, without any extra books.

If it is related to newspapers, then the biggest possibility lies in this place.

He picked up the flashlight and went straight to open the door. When Xiao Li turned around, there was a weak resistance acting on the corner of his clothes, as if the invisible "person" grabbed the corner of his clothes—— The black-haired child who had just reached the doorknob stopped his movements: "Do you still want to play?"

In that huge mirror, the teddy bear turned his face silently for unknown time, and stared at Xiao Li with the shaky button eyes.

The invisible "man" did not answer, nor did any toys fall.

This is... Don't want to play?But the other party would not let him go.

Xiao Li didn’t know much about children. Even if he had a younger brother, Xiao Ming, he never cared about him, let alone take the child. He thought about it, and hesitantly stretched out his hand in the direction that held the corner of his clothes. , A little awkwardly lifted the air up.

——He used to see neighbors with children when he was young, so it seemed that the children would be very happy to raise them.

The opponent was mostly taken aback by his actions. Xiao Li couldn't touch anything, and the force that hindered him from going forward disappeared, and the eye that came close to falling off the teddy bear floated in the air. In a circle, faltering.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Li opened the door and walked in the direction of the reading room in his memory.

While he was walking, Xiao Huangben, who had been quiet for a long time for some reason, suddenly woke up, glowing with light and heat in his pocket, Xiao Li didn't care about it, and was about to find the reading room first.

The corridors of this building can't see five fingers, exactly the same as last night, but the inconsistency is that there are people crying and crashing from afar. The sound seems to be separated by a long distance, and there is only a faint movement.

Xiao Li came to the steps where the reading room was, and gently opened the door, shining the light of the flashlight into the world inside the door.

It was a thick blood stain, stepping on it as if stepping in a sea of ​​blood. Several spider silk ribbons dangled in the room, covering the entire reading room, except for the front desk and bookshelves in the room. Many tables and chairs.

Xiao Li's walking pace is very small, it is too slippery here, if he falls, he won't have any clothes to change.

The faint light of the flashlight pushed forward little by little. There were no traces of newspapers and periodicals in the conspicuous place, nor in the podium on the bookshelf, and there were leftover candy paper and shredded paper in the belly of the table.

In the end, Xiao Li found a stack of newspapers in the trash bin closest to the inner corner. It was a stack of local evening papers. It was a year ago. The paper turned yellow. After the traces of the years, the creases on it were obviously read. Times.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper was "The local heat is more than three months old, and the weather forecast says it will take a few months to cool down." Then there are gossip messages one after another. There seems to be no information about this orphanage.

Xiao Li was quite patient, reading one by one until he paused in the corner of one of the newspapers. It was a small page: "The famous rich man Zhu Fei died innocently. The cause of death is unknown, just before the accident. Donated more than RMB 5 million.” Next is a brief introduction to Zhu Fei. In this report, Zhu Fei is a benevolent person and often sponsors orphanages to help orphans find new homes. It’s a pity that they were found dead in a tragic home recently. The police are rushing to solve the case.

The rich, the group, the mark, and the division of the day and the night——

These things formed a line in Xiao Li's mind.

He closed the newspaper and was about to throw it back in the trash can, but when he saw his eyes flashed, a phantom appeared—

It was a child with long bangs and almost completely covering his eyes. At the door of this reading room, he said to the little girl beside him: "Ni Ke, wait for us to go to the toy room and play with me for a while? "

The little girl is very thin, but looks cute and cute, with croissants: "What to play? How do you know how to play? Teacher Wang said that I will be adopted soon, and I will leave this weekend. After I leave, you Who do you play with?"

The little boy said: "...you have to go too."

"Well, it's the peak period recently. Many uncles and aunts want to adopt a second child." The little girl rubbed her apple-like face, "You have to work harder. Cut your hair first. It looks uncomfortable. Up."

The little boy didn't speak. He raised his head and glanced at his companion next to him, then bit his lip: "Don't go."

"what?"

"If you leave, you can't come back." The little boy said vaguely, "Listen to me, don't go..."

"What are you talking about?" the little girl was surprised. "I will come back to see you when I have time."

At this time, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat came by the door of the reading room. He had a stethoscope on his chest. He stood by the podium and waved to a little girl named Ni Ke: "Come on, Ni Ke, time is up."

The little girl laughed and ran towards him.

The remaining little boy slowly buried his face in his arm.

The illusion disappeared.

Xiao Li pursed his lower lip. Instead of going out directly, he stayed here for a while, took the little yellow book out of his pocket, and after a few glances, he saw a line written on the pale yellow page: [Me too want.

[Can't hug others.

[...Can only hold me.

Xiao Li: "...what do you want, hug and hug?"

Xiao Huang Ben: [I want them all.

[I want to go deeper, like you.

Xiao Li: "………………"

He used to think Xiao Huangben was a female ghost, so the other party's words, he also regarded it as some undue affection, but now he has linked Xiao Huangben's existence to the man who suddenly appeared. Looking at these words at this time, he felt even more subtle.

Xiao Li went on to write: "Are you him?"

He didn't say who it was, but he knew the other person could understand.

Xiao Huang Ben paused, Xiao Huang Ben was thinking about how to respond, Xiao Huang Ben turned himself a page, Xiao Huang Ben was pretending to be dead.

Xiao Li snorted coldly, stuffed the little yellow book back, and prepared to walk out of the reading room and return to the dormitory. However, he hadn't stepped out yet. He only heard the sound of approaching footsteps coming from outside the door. Another person approached here— -Xiao Li raised his eyebrows slightly. He turned off the flashlight and withdrew his steps. He just stood in the corner and watched the figure approaching here, and then walked in.

The figure was a child, beautiful, with black hair, and it was Xu Ying.

Xiao Li stood in the corner. At this moment, he was standing in the corner, almost blending with the darkness. He couldn't be seen until he was in front of him.

Xu Ying was holding her mobile phone in her hand, looking at the place behind the podium, perhaps because of tension, her breathing was heavy.

She did not dare to make a sound, so she had to walk forward step by step. At the same time, she was afraid that she would make a movement to attract the ghost, Xu Ying covered her mouth with her other hand.

Xiao Li watched for a while, before the opponent was about to hit him, turned on his flashlight, which counted as saying hello.

In the boundless darkness, another light suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ying. The light was still facing one person’s chin, illuminating another person’s face from below, and Xu Ying was almost scared to death. The seven souls are gone-if it weren't for the hand to cover her mouth, she would almost scream!

The next second, Xiao Li turned off the flashlight again sparingly: "Miss Xu."

Xu Ying took three steps back. She was about to throw her phone over just now. She vigorously touched her chest: "Why are you here?!"

"I got a clue, come here to take a look." Xiao Li explained, seeing Xu Ying really frightened, and he rarely said a few more words, "I heard the footsteps, I didn't know if it was a ghost or a human, and I died. Ray, I won’t know it is you until you come in."

Xu Ying was initially a little sullen, thinking that this person deliberately pretended to be a fool. After hearing this, she became stunned and focused on the other party's first sentence: "You got a clue?"

Xiao Li pointed to the trash can beside him without making a sound.

The little girl bent down and picked up the newspaper inside, turning over page by page, staying on the report about Zhu Fei as well. Xu Ying showed a look of "it really is so", she raised her head and looked at Xiao who was calm in front of her. Li looked over and couldn't help asking, "Where did you get the clue?"

Xiao Li: "Playing with a ghost for a while, I won."

Xu Ying: "………………"

Xu Ying:???

Xu Ying: "You play with a ghost... for a while? How to play?"

"Gobang." Xiao Li said.

The little girl was silent again—Xu Ying is a very powerful senior. She has used her own mind many times to get rid of danger, she also has a lot of props, and has seen all kinds of people, but she has never seen Sherlock in front of him... such a strange person.

In that case, this person disappeared when he was grouped before, was it also because of his speciality?

The way she found it by herself was very simple and stupid. She bypassed the stairs where the accident occurred and found it from room to room.She has been to every room in front of her, some of which just glanced roughly, and some of them carefully checked. She didn't expect to ran into Xiao Li here—not to mention, this person is unfathomable, and just can be with him Explore the truth here.

Thinking of this, Xu Ying said decisively: "I already know the truth here."

When she spoke, she raised her chin slightly, with a hint of ostentation.

She has always come from cleverness. Although she was very jealous of Sherlock, she also had the intention to win, but she was not reconciled to find clues by outsiders this time. Sherlock missed what happened after the group and wanted to come right. The truth is also half understood.

Xiao Li: "Then?"

Xu Ying was stunned by his question.

The author has something to say: Xiao Huangben: He doesn't seem to like the appearance of that man, so I still don't want to admit it.
