Chapter 165 Uncovering the Veil

The dean frowned and stood beside the children in the cold wind.

He looked at Peter, who was shouting eagerly, and Nan Subei, who was frowning and clearly looking a little panicked.

"So...there is indeed a little girl named Alice in the orphanage?"

Peter nodded immediately: "Yes, Alice must be here."

As he said that, he looked at Nan and Su Bei: "You should have seen that she likes Teacher Hong very much. Even in class, she has to sit at the front."

Nan Subei nodded: "I remembered it, but that child is definitely not an ordinary child. She may, may be something extraordinary."

He didn't know what Alice was, but she was someone he couldn't mess with.

Just like Miliya.

For such a being, one cannot use so-called violence. One can only use ingenuity and defeat its weaknesses through the mind.

In the face of such a powerful person, they have no ability to resist.

If you say it blinds their thinking, it blinds their thinking.

"Take me to see her bed, if she really exists." The dean said.

Then he said to Sister Meili: "Take the children back to the room, it's too cold outside."

The three of them followed quickly and came to the room where Alice was.

A bed can be seen in the corner, and you can even see the folds of the quilt on it.

"Indeed, there is such a child." The dean looked at the bed. He couldn't remember whose bed it belonged to, but he acted as if he really had someone on the bed.

Folds, quilts that are often used, and some knick-knacks placed in the small cabinet next to it.

Nan Subei squatted down and picked up a small wooden sculpture from the small table.

The statue is exactly what Alice looks like, and there is also a statue of Zhuang Cai and a statue of iridescent pupils.

There was a mark underneath Alice's wood carving. This mark was all too familiar to him. It was Zhuang Cai's mark.

As long as Zhuang Cai carves and carves things with his heart, he will bear his mark.

The other two have none of this.

Looking at the Alice statue in Nan Subei's hand, even the dean, who had been deceived for a long time, seemed to have finally come to his senses. It was as if a string had been cut and all the memories were lifted from his mind.

"Yes, yes, there is such a child."

A transparent, transparent child.

"So where is she now? Was she captured by those people?" Peter asked anxiously.

Nan Subei shook his head: "No, there were only three of them when I chased them all the way. Now all three of them are dead, and their bodies are still lying nearby."

"So, where did it go?"

Although Nan Subei didn't want to admit it, he probably felt that the child was chasing Rainbow Tong.

Because he thought of a very serious issue, that is, starting from the orphanage that Rainbow Hitor entered, only tonight did she start taking action.

Although there were too many coincidences, he instinctively thought that Alice should have gone after Rainbow Eyes.

……

All hell breaks loose.

The whole city is in chaos.

At this time, fires were burning everywhere in the city.

The gloomy and dark city is ignited tonight, and the night that has been silent for decades dissipates tonight.

There was roaring everywhere.

There were screams and cries everywhere.

"What happened? How did it suddenly become like this?" Zhuang Cai looked at the city at this time and was very puzzled.

He couldn't understand it at all.

Why did the whole city suddenly become like this, as if a powder keg exploded?

From a quiet, dark, stagnant city, it turned into a chaotic city with this fire spreading in an instant.

This took less than half an hour.

The iridescent eyes next to her also showed confusion.

The two of them were clearly following different teams.

Watch the ceremony they perform.

Prepare to wait for the ceremony to pass, and set the "Mountain-Opening Talisman" next to it to destroy these ritual nodes in the final stage.

But here lies the problem.

Without waiting for them to destroy the rituals, the rituals themselves were destroyed.

Even the cultists who performed the ceremony seemed to have been sacrificed.

Everything happened so suddenly.

After the two finally got together and exchanged information, the entire city had become what they saw now.

Burning fires, shouting residents.

Such a chaotic situation made all the intelligence they collected in the past few days useless.

In the chaos, nothing makes sense.

"There must be something happening in a corner that we don't know about." Rainbow Eyes said.

Although this city is not big, it is not too small for them, and they have only been here for five or six days.

They need to spend a certain amount of time maintaining their identities during the day, and then they have to use their identities to learn about the city's intelligence, and they have to secretly follow and investigate at night.

After a few days, I found out that this information is already very good.

But all this information disappeared in this moment.

Their conjectures and speculations were all meaningless.

The known rituals and ritual nodes were directly destroyed.

They didn't even know whether the cult destroyed it themselves or someone else.

Nothing is known.

At this moment, they didn't even have much clue.

"Have you ever gone to see that church?" Rainbow Eyes asked.

Zhuang Cai nodded. When he met Rainbow Tong, he had already stopped by the church to see it, but it had been destroyed.

And the traces of the battle can be clearly seen.

Their clues were suddenly cut off, and the whole city suddenly fell into chaos.

"Why don't we go back to the orphanage first, meet up with everyone, and gather all the information."

Their default gathering place is in the orphanage.

The whole city was in chaos. Before Nansu and North came to find them, they were probably waiting in the orphanage. Yang Rongrong was probably the same way.

At least the information they know now is no longer enough to support their continued information exploration.

"Okay, let's go back to the orphanage first."

Then the two of them quickly rushed towards the orphanage.

Yet on the road chaos is growing.

Strange forces have an impact on the entire city.

The two had to stop and look at the people around them.

The shouts were still coming from all directions.

But not from these people in front of me.

Residents one after another walked slowly down the street like zombies.

They didn't attack Zhuang Cai, they just walked slowly and aimlessly.

"They were affected by something in their heads and their spirits were blinded." Zhuang Cai caught one of the residents and checked it before saying.

"But the ceremony did not go on, and it was even destroyed."

Iridescent Tong was a little confused next to him.

The ritual has obviously been destroyed, but why do these residents seem to have succeeded.

Zhuang Cai frowned.

Suddenly he said: "Is there a possibility that the ceremony has actually been successful long ago? The Jinghe Cult has been working quietly in this city for more than 20 years.

This city has long been their territory. Perhaps the unfinished ritual we know now is just a new one, such as a large-scale ritual such as letting the evil god descend.

But these residents in this city have already been affected, long before we came here. Influenced by past rituals. "

“Think about it carefully, do you remember what Old Tom said?

He said this: Later, even young people did not know why they became stagnant and became like those people. "

“You said that the older generation is unwilling to take action due to various reasons, and I can understand that.

But how could those young people do that? And it's very strange that when you see the real benefits, you still stagnate.

It is very likely that they have already been affected, and only this can explain why they are unwilling to move forward.

And the officials and nobles in the new city are also very strange. How could they just establish a new branch outside the city just because the city is xenophobic?

If we insist on calculating it this way, this city can be regarded as treason. "

Zhuang Cai said this.

Because that's the only way it makes sense. For the ritual known in his hands has a foundation. There needs to be stagnation, and large numbers of people are stagnant.

Since they dare to start the kind of ritual that Zhuang Cai knows, they must already have the most basic foundation.

In other words, the rituals that affect the residents in this city have been completed long ago, and they are only seeking greater benefits.

Rainbow Eyes came back to her senses: "In other words, the forces from the new city that we have not come into contact with have made them jump over the wall.

In other words, the force we don't know is very powerful. Even though the Jinghe Order has so many local advantages, it still failed. "

At this time, Zhuang Cai and others can be sure that at least before today, they have been hiding in the dark.

It has always been the people from Xincheng who openly prevented the influence of the cult's rituals.

According to Zhuang Cai's understanding, he might be someone from a certain company.

And that was information they only learned last night. They did see a team destroying the cult's ritual tonight.

The two communicated and increased their speed.

Soon we were approaching the small street of the orphanage.

However, around the corner, I saw Alice sitting in a wheelchair.

"Alice? Why did you run out?"

Before Iridescent Eyes could move, Zhuang Cai walked up quickly and took Alice out of the wheelchair.

After all, cities today are not safe.

He held her and looked around.

Staring at her seriously: "How did you escape?"

Looking at the serious Zhuang Cai and Rainbow Eyes, Alice lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.

He said in a muffled voice: "Yes, there are bad people. There are bad people inside, and you are not here either."

Zhuang Cai clearly noticed something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Rainbow Eyes came over, took Alice from his hand, and held her in her arms.

"Don't run around, it's very dangerous." His tone was very gentle, and he rubbed his face against the top of her head to comfort her.

Alice leaned into her arms and nodded her head, as if she felt safe all of a sudden.

Then he raised his head, stared at the iridescent pupils with his big flashing eyes, and asked, "You won't abandon me, right?"

At this time, Zhuang Cai stood on the same spot.

He suddenly felt that the things that were blinding him in his mind dissipated.

Rainbow Eyes also noticed that something was wrong, but when faced with this problem, she did not pause and blurted out: "Of course, of course not."

Alice looked at the two of them and asked again: "Then, can you adopt me? Just like everyone was taken away...just like the nun said..."

Their brains are becoming clearer and clearer.

And Rainbow Eyes hugged Alice, staring into her eyes, staring at Alice who was already avoiding eye contact and lowering her head.

Then he said softly: "If it's possible, if it can be done, of course I am willing."

"You are a good child." Zhuang Cai reached out and touched Alice's head and said softly.

He looked at Alice's head and the conspicuous bunny mark on the back of his hand on her head.

When he wanted to put his hand down, Alice explored and pinched his wrist.

"You, you have to say it too. There are two adults who adopt the child. Sister Meili said that both of them must agree.

Only in this way can you be happy. "

Following these words, even Rainbow Eyes looked at Zhuang Cai.

"Alas." Zhuang Cai sighed silently.

He didn't even know what he was sighing about.

"Of course, if it can be done, of course I agree."

After Zhuang Cai finished speaking, he looked at the rabbit mark on the back of his hand.

Like, so similar.

Still the same background.

What a hell.

But this time, Zhuang Cai was sincere and did not deceive.

Rainbow Eyes hugged Alice and stared into her eyes: "You can talk, and you lied to me, you naughty guy."

As he spoke, he rubbed Alice's little face hard.

"whee."

Alice was very happy now, laughing and hugging Iridescent Tong's neck.

The rainbow pupil patted Alice on the back, looked up at Zhuang Cai, and the two of them made eye contact.

Zhuang Cai opened his mouth and walked behind without saying anything else.

Folding up Alice's wheelchair and carrying it, she pushed Rainbow Tong toward the orphanage.

Before they even reached the door, they met Nan Subei who rushed out in a hurry.

Nan Subei, who rushed out, looked at Alice being held in the arms of Rainbow Eyes, and his whole body stood in place as if frozen.

Eyes widened.

Looking at Alice with her back turned to him, he quickly turned to look at Zhuang Cai.

His eyes were full of eagerness.

I can’t wait to convey what message.

Zhuang Cai nodded: "Okay, I know what you want to say, we already know it."

After that they walked in.

Nan Subei followed Zhuang Cai and kept turning his head to look at Alice in Rainbow Eyes' arms. He wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but couldn't help but close his mouth every time.

When he came to the door, Peter, who was still asleep, seemed to notice Alice and hurried out.

"Alice? Are you okay? That's great."

"He was unaffected from start to finish," said Subei, looking at Pete.

Alice also raised her head and nodded towards Peter.

At this time, another figure quickly rushed into the orphanage from outside.

Several people turned around and saw that it was Yang Rongrong.

"What's going on outside? It's all chaos." Yang Rongrong said eagerly as she rushed over.

"What's wrong?" Nan Subei was a little confused.

He rushed straight into the orphanage a long time ago, because things were going on inside the orphanage before he had time to go out and see what was going on outside.

The orphanage is in the center surrounded by a large number of buildings, so it is difficult to notice what is going on outside.

Only a faint light can be seen in the distance.

You still have to look to the sky.

But you must know that not long ago, this place was still foggy, and everything was shrouded in an unknown spiritual mist.

"It's chaos outside. The ceremony itself has been destroyed. A large part of the residents seem to have been affected and turned into zombies..."

Zhuang Cai told what they saw outside.

"What?" Nan Subei was a little surprised. He had missed something in this short period of time.

"It's time for us to exchange information and summarize what to do about the current situation."

After speaking, Rainbow Eyes looked at Alice in her arms.

He winked at her and said, "You can't lie to me this time, or I will be angry."

Alice pursed her lips, but nodded.

Zhuang Cai reopened the folding wheelchair he was holding and picked Alice up.

"Pete, take her over to sleep."

Peter nodded and pushed Alice away very sensibly.

Yang Rongrong did not react at this time.

She only visited the orphanage once.

She was only blinded for a short moment, so she didn't notice anything was wrong. Even though the cover-up was now revealed, she didn't think there was a big problem.

Watch Alice leave.

Nan, Subei and North couldn't bear it immediately.

"What's going on with this little girl? What on earth is she? She can't be the same as that Miliya.

After all, they are all in the same background world. "

"She's just a little girl. Maybe her talent in spiritual arts is so high that she instinctively protects her.

As a result, people around her are always affected by her vague abilities. "Zhuang Cai summed it up.

The moment the blindness dissipated outside, he quickly got rid of the effect of the blindness, and recalled the feeling and made guesses.

"Is spiritual magic so outrageous?"

"some."
