Langhua put away the torn photos bit by bit, cleaned up the traces of his sneaking in, and opened the door of Room 804 a crack. Hearing no sound in the corridor outside, he slowly opened the door. After ducking out, he gently closed the door with his backhand.
superior.
"Ding!"
The elevator beeps softly.
Lang Hua was startled, and quickly dropped her right hand to her side, pretending to walk to the elevator as if nothing had happened.
The elevator door slowly opened, revealing two children, one large and one small, standing side by side holding hands.
Feimo led Hiroki Sawada out of the elevator, looked up at Langhua who was walking towards the elevator, stepped aside and said, "Auntie, are you also a resident on the eighth floor?"
Langhua's long brown hair was tied behind her head, and she stopped beside the two children, leaned down, and smiled so fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes, but she was also elegant and gentle, "Yes, are you guys too?"
Hiroki Sawada smiled with his eyes narrowed, like an innocent child with no thoughts, and said calmly, "We will live in Room 804 and will stay for several days. Auntie, you can come and play with us when you are free!"
"Auntie also plans to stay here for a few days," Lang Hua said with a softer smile, "As long as your parents don't mind, Auntie will definitely come and play with you."
Sawada Hiroki lowered his eyes to the floor in front of his feet and muttered in a disappointed tone, "Our parents have passed away..."
Langhua saw two death certificates in the room. He was not surprised, but there was a surprised expression on his face. He quickly calmed down, squatted down and looked at Sawada Hiroki, and said softly with a look of unbearability, "I'm sorry.
, it’s Auntie’s fault, she shouldn’t remind you of these sad things.”
"It doesn't matter," Fei Mo still maintained a calm posture and looked at Lang Huadao seriously, "Auntie, are you planning to go out? It's already very late now. My dad said before that don't run out when it's too late. It's not safe.
.”
Langhua made a mental comment, 'This child is a little more mature but still very naive', and immediately smiled and rolled his eyes, "Thank you for your reminder and concern, but I just plan to buy a bottle from the vending machine next to the entertainment room on the third floor.
Drinks are not dangerous."
"Then..." Sawada Hiroki let go of Fei Mo's hand, took a step forward, raised his head and looked at Lang Hua with a slightly expectant and cautious look, "We will accompany you to buy drinks, and you will accompany us to the rooftop.
Is it okay to look at the moon? Just look at it for more than ten minutes..."
"Xiao Shu!" Fei Mo interrupted, deliberately frowning to act like a stern brother, "Don't cause trouble to others."
"But..." Sawada Hiroki turned his head with an aggrieved look and saw Fei Mo open his eyes. Tears filled his eyes with deep purple pupils, and his voice also had a crying tone, as if he would cry if he disagreed with his words, "Today
The moon is so beautiful at night. My mother used to watch it with us..."
"That's right..." Langhua deliberately remained silent for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "I agreed!"
Sawada Hiroki immediately looked at Langhua with an expression of surprise, "Really?"
"Of course," Langhua nodded, got up and walked towards the elevator, deliberately slowing down to wait for the two children, "You accompany me to buy drinks and be my little bodyguard. In return, I will accompany you to see
Moon, don't worry about getting me into trouble, I wanted to go to the rooftop to get some fresh air before."
Feimo held Hiroki Sawada's hand again and followed him, "I really caused trouble for you."
Langhua smiled, stood in front of the elevator and pressed the down button, "Auntie doesn't have any children. Seeing how cute you guys are, I can't help but want to spend more time with you... By the way, is your name Xiaoshu?"
"Yes!" Sawada Hiroki nodded obediently.
"how about you?"
"Just call me Xiao Mo."
…
The warm drama performed on the eighth floor was all reflected in the crystal ball on the rooftop.
Koizumi Anko was preparing the magic circle on the rooftop and had no time to look at the crystal ball.
Chi Feichi leaned in front of the guardrail, holding a crystal ball in one hand, and watched with Mizuno Xiong the performance of three people on the eighth floor.
Mizuno watched the three people entering the elevator talking and laughing, and sighed softly. He wanted to lament that the acting skills of these three people were terrible, but seeing that the man in black robe next to him remained silent, he suppressed his words.
Feimo and Sawada Hiroki accompanied Langhua to the vending machine on the third floor to buy something. When Langhua asked, he told his age.
When Langhua said, "I saw you going out with a large group of people in the lobby at night," the two of them acted like ignorant children and immediately explained the situation word by word.
'Grandpa is here to pick us up for dinner...'
'When I met my uncles for the first time, I felt that everyone cared about us...'
During this period, Langhua also introduced himself, but used a pseudonym and surname "Jinghua", and also bought drinks for his two children.
When the three of them were about to take the elevator upstairs, they were still talking about topics such as, 'Miss Jinghua is very gentle', 'Xiao Mo is so polite, Xiao Shu is cute, it's normal for everyone to like you'.
It wasn't until the three of them got on the elevator that Koizumi Hongzi prepared the magic circle. She stood in the corner near the door and raised her head to greet Chi Feichi and Mizuno Xiong, "Evil...cough, I mean the magic circle is ready, you guys too
Come here quickly!"
Chi Feichi held the crystal ball in one hand and walked over.
"The three-meter-diameter circle around me is an area for concealment formations," Koizumi Hongzi pointed at the general range, "As long as we stay in this circle, it is impossible for creatures outside the circle to see us.
You won't hear our voices, of course, you can't shout loudly, otherwise the magic circle will be disturbed and the sound may spread out."
Mizuno walked to Koizumi Anko and looked down at the floor, which was no different from other places.
He has lived for more than sixty years, but it seems that he has never seen the real side of the world...
"Where is the formation that isolates the rooftop from the outside world?" Chi Feichi asked in a gentle male voice, "Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, everything is ready," Koizumi Hongzi looked into the crystal ball and looked at the scene of the three people talking and laughing in the elevator, and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that things are going well for them there too."
"Ding!"
The elevator soon reached the rooftop. After the door opened, Langhua slowed down and accompanied the two children out of the elevator. He raised his head to feel the slightly cold wind at night, and looked at the full moon with half of its face in the sky beside the light clouds.
, "Although there are clouds tonight, the moon is clear and it is indeed beautiful."
"As long as you like it."
When Fei Mo saw that the rooftop was empty, he felt certain and led Hiroki Sawada towards the open space, holding in his hand the two bottles of drinks bought by Langhua.
Langhua followed and saw the two children sitting directly on the ground, so he also sat down generously.
Hidden in the magic circle, Koizumi Hongzi took out the Goddess Orb and threw it into the air. She looked up and watched the orb disappear in the air. She explained softly, "The magic circle that isolates the outside world has been activated. The orb serves as an energy transfer point.
The boundary will be much stronger.”
Mizuno paid attention to the reactions of the three people over there, and found that the three of them really seemed to be unable to hear what Koizumi Anko was saying. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the magic of what he saw and heard tonight. At the same time, he couldn't help but keep his gaze.
Staying on Langhua, hatred gradually condensed in his eyes.
"Don't stare with malice for too long," Chi Feichi warned. "A keen treasure hunter can easily detect a gaze that is full of malice."
Mizuno took a deep breath, nodded, and turned his gaze to the little Hiroki Sawada who was sitting on the ground.
Over there, Langhua helped the two children open the bottle caps and chatted with them gently, "You just said it was your first time to meet your grandfather and uncles. Didn't your parents take you back to see them before?"
Your grandfather?"
"No," Feimo put the drink bottle next to him and looked up at the moon, his broken hair around his ears being ruffled by the wind. "I heard from my father that he was deceived by a bad woman before and secretly took the family's
The baby left home, and he was afraid that grandpa would still be angry with him and feel guilty, so he never took us back."
Langhua also looked up at the moon, "So that's it."
"That woman is very bad," Hiroki Sawada, still holding a drink bottle in his hand, seemed to be trying to explain to a gentle aunt just how bad the bad woman he knew was. His immature face was full of seriousness, "Not only did she cheat
She stole the treasure my father brought from home and wanted to kill him. She is the worst woman I have ever seen. If I meet her in the future, I will definitely beat her up!"
Langhua couldn't help laughing, and looked down at the little one sitting on the ground, "Little tree turns out to be so brave."
"I have always been brave!" Sawada Hiroki raised his chin, looked at Langhua's face, and placed the drink bottle in his right hand on the floor beside him. He looked a little nervous and hesitated, "Auntie, can you give me a hug?
me?"
Langhua subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking that he was just a one or two-year-old child in front of him, he was not too vigilant. He reached out to pick up Hiroki Sawada and sat him sideways on his right leg.
Sawada Hiroki put his hands around Langhua's waist, but his little arms could not fully wrap around him. His fingers were tightly tugging on Langhua's coat, and he said with a smile, "Auntie, you are so kind!"
Langhua looked at the innocent and harmless smile of a certain child and joked with a smile, "Little Shu is so cute and can talk so much. There will definitely be many girls who like you when you grow up."
Feimo retracted his gaze from the moon and turned to look at Langhua, "Auntie, do you want to play a game?"
"Okay," Lang Hua said after getting along with the two people. He was already convinced of the identities of the two children and his vigilance had dropped. "What kind of game do you want?"
"That game is called, 'We are all honest good boys,'" Feimo said, looking at Langhua seriously, "The three of us take turns asking each other questions, and the person who answers must tell the truth."
"Is it just like this?" Langhua asked curiously, "How do we judge whether the other person is telling the truth? Is there any punishment for lying?"
"Of course there is a punishment, so you can't lie," Hiroki Sawada said in an innocent and harmless tone. "Those who lie will have to swallow a thousand needles!"
"Okay," Lang Hua smiled and looked at Fei Mo, "Then who should we start with?"
Hidden in the formation circle, Mizuno Xiong listened to the three people talking and laughing, and felt a chill rushing to his forehead.
"Click your fingers and swallow a thousand needles" originated from a Japanese nursery rhyme. When children make a promise, they often have such a ritual - after saying their promise, both parties hook their fingers and say "Click your fingers and swallow a thousand needles" together.
Needles, anyone who lies will swallow a thousand needles.'
He made such an agreement with people when he was a child, and when he grew up, he also saw many children making such an agreement with their peers. Even in the past few years, he had encountered children at home making such an agreement on something.
It was originally just an agreement between children, but when Xiaoshu said it in a soft and cute voice, why did he feel so creepy?
