Under the quilt, it seemed that Komori couldn't sleep because of the conversation during the day.
When Xiao Hai felt Komori's hands subconsciously clenching his arms, he immediately moved his fingers slightly to let Komori relax.
This is a very strange feeling.
Because of this kind of footsteps, it's possible that the nun simply didn't trust them and came over to check on them at night.
However, both younger brother Xiaohai and older brother Xiaosen were very nervous.
It seemed that what entered the room was not a nun, but some terrifying witch.
Suddenly, among the footsteps, there was a slight whisper.
It's a woman.
But from the sound, neither Komori nor Xiaohai could tell who that person was.
Because Aunt Mayte and the other nuns and aunts, none of them made such a hoarse sound, like a rusty saw cutting wood.
The woman hummed a strange nursery rhyme:
"Cute doll."
"Under the red moon."
"They get together and have a great party."
"The party was very lively, and the nightingales were singing from the trees, as if they were crying."
"So people started taking the children's hands and putting cream on their bodies."
"The cream is very sweet, and so are the dolls."
"Blood mixed with cream composes a bloody and sweet poem."
Xiaomori and Xiaohai felt a chill in their hearts.
This song is so scary!
Sudden:
"despair!"
The high-heeled sound suddenly stopped.
Suddenly, Xiaohai and Xiaomori felt a cold feeling for no reason. The weather has not yet reached winter, and the thick quilt is enough to keep them warm.
My brother Xiaomori was already shivering.
Under the covers, Xiao Hai immediately grabbed Komori's hand and motioned for him to calm down.
Maybe...maybe that weird woman humming a song is looking at them at this moment!
However, brother Komori's tension was not relieved.
If you continue like this, you will definitely be discovered!
Younger brother Xiaohai's mind suddenly changed and he suddenly made a bold decision.
He pretended to be kicking off the quilt and pulled the quilt over his head.
In this way, the bodies of Komori and Xiaohai are all under the quilt.
This small environment seemed to give the two children some warmth.
Komori soon stopped shaking.
And the footsteps that suddenly stopped just now suddenly started to move again.
I'm not sure if I'm preparing to leave, or if I noticed something going on here and wanted to come over and take a look.
Xiaohai pinched Komori gently, hinting him not to open his eyes.
soon:
"Ta...ta...ta..."
"Squeak..."
The sound of footsteps matched the sound of the door opening.
Then, the door was closed.
It seems...that he has left.
At this time, Komori and Xiaohai were nervous and sweating profusely.
Do you want to open your eyes?
In the end, the two children took the risk.
They tentatively opened their eyes.
Within sight, there was a dark, airtight quilt, and his brother.
Both Komori and Xiaohai were pale at this time.
But the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems... the person who was humming the song just now has left.
But at this moment:
"Are you...looking for me?"
The husky laughter was playful.
Right between the two children, a man with an unshaven beard and a hideous and twisted face appeared!
He has two faces!
One picture showed an ugly witch who looked full of wrinkles.
There is another picture of a middle-aged man with a very thick beard.
The two faces looked at Komori and Xiaohai at the same time, grinning with horrifying expressions.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Xiaomori and Xiaohai kicked off the quilt in fear.
At this time, in the huge bedroom, the edges of all the friends' beds were covered with a layer of thick fog.
Xiaomori and Xiaohai held hands, immediately pushed open the bedroom door, and ran out as fast as they could.
However, the corridor seemed to become very long and narrow at this moment.
Xiaomori and Xiaohai desperately called Aunt Mayte's name, but... the firelight on the candlesticks on both sides of the wall began to gradually become dim and weak.
The entire orphanage seemed to have become distorted because of this.
"Brother, this orphanage... doesn't seem right!" Brother Xiaomori said anxiously.
Younger brother Xiaohai looked solemn: "And the nuns and aunties are not here either!"
Suddenly, a sneer came from behind.
The two children looked back and saw the monster with male and female faces lying on the ground.
My hands and feet began to crawl quickly against the wall!
It looks like a weird lizard.
At the same time, the laughter of men and women mingled.
And in the middle of their heads, it was torn apart and turned into a bloody mouth.
"You can't run away!"
"Can't run away!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Under the maniacal laughter, everything seemed to begin to turn dark.
Suddenly, Aunt Mayte appeared in front of the two of them.
The two children seemed to have seen the savior and shouted quickly:
"Aunt Mayte, there is a devil!"
"It's a monster! It's a monster!"
However, Aunt Mayte tilted her head slightly, and with a stiff expression, she suddenly grinned.
Then, Aunt Mayte's body was torn from her mouth to her abdomen. A huge bloody mouth made the two children turn pale with fright!
…
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Amidst the screams, Xiao Hai and Xiao Sen suddenly got out of bed.
They panted heavily and looked at the sunshine outside the window.
The other children were also frightened awake by the sudden shouts of the two.
Soon, with the sound of hurried footsteps, Aunt May pushed the door open:
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?!"
Aunt Mayte seemed frightened too.
After all, the screams of Komori and Xiaohai sounded too miserable.
After seeing that both children were safe, Aunt Mayte breathed a sigh of relief:
"It must be a nightmare."
"Sweating so much."
Aunt Mayte smiled helplessly:
"Okay, kids, let's go wash up."
"Mr. Newt is coming today."
Soon, only Komori and Xiaohai were left in the bedroom.
Komori gasped slightly, his eyes frightened:
"Brother, then...that's definitely not a nightmare!"
"But... we can't be sure now what happened last night."
"If... that monster really wanted to hurt us, it would have caught us last night."
"How are we going to wake up unscathed?"
…
The two children couldn't think of a solution, so they could only wash up and wipe the sweat off their bodies.
They put on clean and tidy clothes.
This is what Aunt Mayte would specifically request every time Mr. Newt comes.
Because the children are better dressed, the probability of being adopted is better.
If you can enter such a wealthy family, your life will definitely be better than in a welfare institution.
Xiaomori and Xiaohai originally wanted to help in the kitchen, but were rejected by Aunt Mayte.
According to her words, everyone will happily welcome Mr. Newt's arrival today.
If your clothes get dirty because you are helping, that's not good.
…
At around 12 noon, a luxury car stopped at the entrance of Boai Welfare Home.
At this time, Aunt Matt, all the nuns, and all the children were standing at the entrance of the orphanage, waiting for him.
The car door was opened, and a stout man, holding a cane representing a gentleman, wearing a top hat and holding a pipe, slowly walked out.
The man looked to be about forty years old.
Aunt Mayte immediately walked up, showing a frightened smile:
"Mr. Newt."
Mr. Newt smiled and nodded:
"Sister Maite, I already told you that there is no need to make the children wait."
With that said, two more bodyguards stepped out of Mr. Newt's car.
The two men opened the trunk of the car and took down all the packages that looked very heavy.
"These are some of my thoughts."
"Part of it is toys, snacks and clothes for the children."
"There are also some funds for the renovation of the orphanage."
Aunt Mayte made a prayer gesture: "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Newt."
The nuns welcomed Mr. Newt into the orphanage.
Before entering, Mr. Newt turned around.
His eyes happened to meet those of Komori and Xiaohai.
In an instant, both of them felt their whole bodies tremble.
An indescribable uneasiness filled my heart.
Everyone came to the auditorium.
At the long table, the seat of honor was given to Mr. Newt.
Sister Matt and the other nuns were sitting on both sides.
Then there are the children.
All the children were extremely obedient at this time.
Most children still yearn to be separated from Mr. Newt.
They know that Mr. Newt is very rich, and their lives can become very good. They can wear nice clothes, eat delicious candies, go to school, and paint.
These are things you can't find in an orphanage.
…
At the beginning of the meal, it was a somewhat hypocritical politeness between adults.
Then, Aunt May couldn't help but asked: "So, Mr. Newt, how many children do you want to adopt this time?"
Mr. Newt smiled:
"two."
Aunt Mayte breathed a sigh of relief.
With two children, the burden on the orphanage can be reduced a lot.
Mr. Newt continued:
"Besides, I'm in a hurry this time and will leave this afternoon."
"When I leave, I will take my two children with me."
Aunt Mayte was a little surprised.
Because in the past, Mr. Newt would at least let the children who were confirmed to be adopted stay in the orphanage for a few more days to say goodbye to their little friends.
However, Aunt Mayte did not refuse, but nodded:
"Okay, I will complete the adoption procedures."
"So, sir, which two children have you chosen this time?"
Mr. Newt narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced around among all the children, and finally pointed at Komori and Xiaohai who were eating beside them:
"Just...adopt these twins."
