Following a slightly urging shout, the children who were still playing in the yard immediately gathered.
This is an orphanage, but unlike those harsh facilities that often become negative teaching materials in novels, animations, and games, there is no selling of children, no child abuse, no withholding of donations, no bullying of each other, and no use of child labor.
Other troublesome issues within.
This is a very formal orphan adoption place, and because one of its sponsors has a really caring big shot, he often comes to inspect it in person (not a face-saving project), so there is no room for anything dirty.
Just recently, a child who was not so gregarious came here.
His name is Amon.
Although the surname A is relatively rare among flower growers, the orphanage will not change the name of the children for this reason. In other words, even if it is really necessary to change the name, it is something that the adopter should consider, or in order to facilitate the memory.
problem, the staff at the orphanage wished every child could be called Ah X.
Amon's personality is more withdrawn than other children of the same age. He likes to sit alone in the corner. However, the staff at the orphanage do not care about his personality problems. In other words, most orphans do not care about his personality when they are just sent to the orphanage.
When I was young, I had some psychological problems more or less.
But no staff member would have imagined that this skinny boy who looked to be only six or seven years old and had a faint birthmark on his right eye could be a former god of fraud.
…
Hearing the noisy voice of the fat woman, Amon wanted to ignore it, but considering that his current body was no different from that of an ordinary child, he finally raised his legs and walked towards the restaurant.
Children, big and small, sat obediently on small benches, gathered around a low table that was just right for them, and ate braised noodles that were not very attractive but relatively nutritious.
Amon watched several women walk up to one or two children who didn't eat very much from time to time, picked up spoons and started feeding them into their mouths. He couldn't help showing a look of disgust, and then he felt a little annoyed.
"Damn it, this body can't even control its emotions right now!" Amon thought in his heart, but in his mind he recalled the battle for Origin Castle a few months ago.
"Courage and sacrifice..."
Amon repeated the explanation given to him by the man, and then looked at his young hands. While waving the iron spoon, he stuffed the unexpectedly good-tasting food into his mouth, while thinking about how to escape from this prison.
Yes, a cage.
At least in Amon's mind, this is that kind of place.
As a punishment for failure, he was deprived of all extraordinary abilities, imprisoned in such a weak insect-like body, and thrown into a world without extraordinary power.
He seems to think he can learn something about human nature here?
Amon didn't quite understand what his father was thinking, but he had confirmed one thing through the general education class at the orphanage——
This should be the earth in ancient times, the civilization of the previous era, the current mystery, the night, the black emperor, the paradox and the place where his father originally lived.
He didn't know how this was done, and even at first, he thought he had been thrown into the mysterious marionette kingdom.
However, after living these days, he gradually realized that these people were all ordinary living people.
"You can learn about human nature by being with a bunch of brats in a place like this and listening to them talk about ideology, morality, Chinese and mathematics every day? Are you kidding?!"
Amon was very suspicious of his father's actions. If accepting those values that made him a little disgusting could be regarded as learning human nature, then he felt that the most important thing for his father to do was to use the ability of a visionary to brainwash him.
"Little Mengmeng, why don't you eat? You can't grow healthy if you don't eat enough!" A goosebump-inducing voice came from the fat aunt's mouth. Amon's face suddenly darkened, he immediately shook his head and said with a small
In the childish voice that a child should have, he said:
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about the animation I watched last night... I got a little distracted!"
After saying that, he immediately lowered his head and stuffed the braised noodles in the bowl into his mouth, without giving the other party a chance to blow and feed it into his mouth——
That kind of humiliation once is enough!
Watching Amon start to eat well, the fat aunt nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the next child, which strengthened Amon's determination to escape from here.
…
After lunch, the children were arranged to take a nap. Amon, who was completely unable to resist due to his small body, could only lie helplessly on the big bunk, listening to the whispers of the kid next to him, thinking about his escape plan.
"This is an orphanage. Although the environment is very good, it should be the same as the orphanage over there. So if you want to leave, the most normal way is to be adopted. But I have been here for several days.
I haven’t seen anyone come to adopt a child, maybe the procedure here is different from that over there?”
Amon's little mind was running rapidly, but he discovered that he, who was famous for his cunning, was actually not good at this kind of thinking. He had never thought from a mortal perspective.
In the past, let alone a group of mortals, even if they were suppressed by the true gods, he could still find loopholes with extraordinary power, but now, he is just an ordinary child like an ant.
I am really too weak now, I have no strength and can't do anything!
But just when this thought came up, his originally depressed thoughts suddenly changed, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Is this why you turned me into this?"
Amon looked at the ceiling, as if looking at someone:
"It's interesting, let me challenge it!"
Thinking of this, Amon suddenly became motivated to fight, because he changed his mentality and his view of his situation.
A few minutes ago, he only felt that all this was a humiliation, imprisonment and teasing, but now, he only felt that this was a game between him and his father.
…
In this way, Amon in the orphanage gradually let go of his attitude, began to actively communicate with other children, and began to participate in various activities, whether it was broadcast gymnastics, games such as skipping, or various general education classes every day, he
There is nothing left behind, as if he has completely integrated into this big family.
But just when the staff at the orphanage were delighted that this unsociable child had finally begun to change, on the last day before the New Year, when everyone was preparing for the New Year, Amon disappeared.
