The children who were lost at first were near the suburbs of Bize City. Because it was relatively remote and the people living there had little power or money, Bize City did not pay much attention to it.

Later, the scope of the loss widened and began to spread to the city. It was not until the "son" of a congressman also disappeared that Bize City began to investigate.

Therefore, if you want to find the truth of the matter, you must start from the source of the matter.

Android thought so, so just after arriving in Bize City, Android rushed to the "Neil District" where the crime was first reported.

Neil District is a small community on the edge of Bize City. Most of the residents here are people who work in Bize City and cannot afford to rent a house in Bize City.

The history of this place is not long. When Bize City began to be vigorously constructed, people who came to work in Bize City slowly gathered to form a community.

It was a mixed bag of people, everyone was there.

Android has heard of this place before, because there is a very famous "black market" here. Many things of unknown origin are traded here.

Therefore, although Neil District is remote, it is not depressed. Some gray industries and some speculators who come to "gold dig" make this small community very prosperous.

Of course this was before, and Android was shocked when he came here. The entire community was not as noisy as he had heard, but was very quiet or too quiet.

The streets were deserted, and notices for rent were still hanging on the shops on the streets. Some houses were even not closed at all, and the wind blew the doors, making a "clack-clack" sound.

There was not a single person to be seen on the street, as if Android had come to an "empty city".

Android took out his forged "police officer certificate", went to the door of a house and knocked on the door. There was a sound inside the door, indicating that someone was still living there.

"Who is it?" A slightly hoarse voice came from the house.

"I am an investigator from Bize City to investigate the case of missing children. Please open the door and I will find out more about the situation." Android shouted at the crack in the door.

"Oh, wait a minute..." Before long, Android saw a very old lady standing at the door.

Android glanced at the old man and came to a conclusion in his mind - the old man must be doing strength work, because her arms are thicker than those of ordinary women, and her back is a little hunched. This kind of hunched back is not born, but it is very heavy to move around all year round.

It’s an “occupational disease” that slowly accumulates.

"Are you a police officer?" Years of living at the bottom of society made the old man a little timid.

"Yes." Android nodded.

"Oh, police officer, please come in quickly." The old man stepped aside and invited Android to enter his home.

The house is very simple, except for some necessary daily utensils, there is almost nothing else visible.

Android sat on the table, and the old man brought over a glass of water. The teacup looked like it had just been washed, but because it had been used for too long, the color of the teacup still looked a bit "dirty".

The old man's expression was a little restrained. Android smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The old man's expression relaxed.

"Old man, what happened here? Why is it so depressed? I heard that this place is quite prosperous before." Android asked.

There was a trace of bitterness on the old man's face: "Yes, it used to be quite lively, but recently all the children in Neil District have been lost..."

"Wait a minute, did you just say that they were all lost?" Android stood up in shock.

He had only thought that one or two were missing before, but who would have thought that all the children in the Neal District were missing. This matter was much more troublesome than he thought.

Perhaps because he was frightened by Android, the old man opened his mouth but said nothing.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Android shook his head and sat down: "Old man, don't be afraid. If you have anything to do, just tell him slowly." Android calmed the old man softly.

The old man took a sip of water: "All the children under the age of thirteen disappeared, disappearing under the eyes of their parents. So everyone was scared and moved away one by one. Even those without children said

This place has been cursed, and other people are even more afraid to live here..."

The old man's words were intermittent, but Android already understood. Being able to do things to this extent is definitely not something that can be explained scientifically.

The old man's narration continued: "But there is still one child who is lucky. This is the only child in the entire Neil District who is fine...

But speaking of it, it’s these people who have brought it upon themselves..."

"What is the name of the child who is not missing, and where does he live? And, who brought it upon himself?" Android interrupted the old man after hearing the key information, and asked hurriedly.

"Ah? Who brought it upon himself? Did I say these words?" The old man looked at Android blankly.

Android stared closely into the old man's eyes and saw a hint of panic in his cloudy eyes.

"Okay, maybe I heard wrong. You just said that there is another child who is not missing. Can you tell me his name and where he lives now?" Android did not press the old man, but inquired about the whereabouts of the child.

"Oh." The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That child's name is A Luo, and he lives on the east side of the street. All the way east along this street, there is only his family's house there. He is an orphan, very pitiful...

..." The old man rambled again.

Android stood up and said to the old man: "Thank you, old man. I have something else to do and we will talk some other time."

"Ah?" the old man said enthusiastically. When he saw Android leaving, he hurriedly got up and went to see him off.

Not long after Android walked out the door, the old man stuck his head out to look around, then hurriedly closed the door again.

A Luo's home was relatively shabby. Android followed the old man's directions and walked eastward along the street and finally arrived at his destination.

But the house in front of him made Android somewhat afraid to recognize it - the surrounding area was all wasteland, and only one house stood there. The house was very small, the roof was broken, and the door was half leaning on the door frame. A gust of wind might blow the door away.

Lose.

Just when Android was hesitant to enter, a cat meowed from the room, and then a child's voice said: "Xiao Bai, you can't bully Xiao Hei!"

The voice is very childish, and you can tell that the owner is young.

Android no longer hesitated, stood up, walked to the door, and knocked on the broken door: "Hello, are you A Luo?"

The sound in the room became quiet, and soon a child's voice came from inside: "You...who are you?"

"Don't be afraid. I'm from the Welfare Committee. I heard about your situation and will help you."

"Oh, wait a minute." After a while, a little boy stood in front of Android, holding a big white cat in his arms.

Children and Androids imagine a somewhat different state. Generally, orphans like this live alone and at such a young age, life must be difficult.

But this child is fair and tender, and although he is not fat, he is not thin at all. His clothes are old but very clean.

"Uncle, do you want to come in and sit down?" the child invited Android.

"Oh, okay..." Android just entered the room and was stunned.

The whole room was full of cats, white ones, floral ones, and black ones... When these cats saw Android coming in, they all stared at Android with their green eyes...
