The orphanage’s west building has two underground floors. The first underground floor is a semi-underground storage room, an electrical and mechanical room, and a comprehensive classroom. The second underground floor has an underground passage leading to the east building and many old structures that are now abandoned. The history of this orphanage is so long that even the east and west buildings, which can be considered "new buildings", are actually several decades old. The deepest and oldest parts of these two buildings are rarely visited by even the "parents" of the orphanage.

Little Red Riding Hood only remembered that when she was very young, she was brought by a few half-grown children to the underground of the West Building for "exploration" twice. At that time, this place was already dirty, old and forgotten. Now, more than ten years have passed, and it seems that there has been no change here. The dirty cement floor and the mottled and peeling walls even give people a feeling that they have been like this since the beginning, when they were just built, and when the building collapsed.

But Little Red Riding Hood knows that every part of this building is actually maintained at the most basic level, including these seemingly forgotten corners. Volunteers sent by the board of directors will regularly check all facilities of the orphanage and repair the power and water supply and drainage systems-the adults take care of the children here within their ability, so if these old passages under the West Building really have some strange changes, it must have attracted the attention of the staff.

After all, the "volunteers" who can be sent here must have received special training.

Since there is no report in this regard, it means that the changes have only occurred recently-at least during the routine inspection a while ago, everything should be normal here.

"Rats... cockroaches... oh, not even an ant." The "King" squatted on the shoulder of the heavily armored mercenary, looking lazy, but his cat-like pupils seemed to have repeatedly "scanned" the entire place. "Use your good nose to smell it, Little Red Riding Hood, there is a musty smell in the air here, but other than this musty smell... the other smells are too 'clean'." The shadowy wolf appeared in the shadow beside Little Red Riding Hood. She frowned slightly and swept her eyes across the mottled and moldy corners of the underground passage: " Were there rats here before? "

"What nonsense - of course there were," the king looked up at Little Red Riding Hood, looking at her as if she were a fool, "Rats and cockroaches are the best at survival in this world. They will not become extinct even if all the people die - I have been to this place many times, and it used to be very 'lively'."

Little Red Riding Hood did not say anything, but looked solemnly at this place that seemed normal on the surface. The shadows of the wolf pack appeared and disappeared in the air beside her, and occasionally made some uneasy whimpers.

"Let's keep going forward," she suddenly said to the king, "Let's go to the connecting passage between the east and west buildings."

"Okay."

...

A fully armed action team quietly passed through the shadows between the buildings and gradually approached the ordinary-looking building in front.

This place is located on the edge of the old factory area in the southern old city. Most of the buildings nearby are old residential buildings built thirty or forty years ago. At this time of day, there are always many people walking outdoors in and outside the residential area, but today this area is strangely quiet--

People seem to be driven away from the streets by some invisible force. Even if people at the intersection in the distance occasionally look over here and see the foreign vehicles parked at the entrance of the community and those strange devices standing on the open space, they will quickly and naturally shift their sights, as if the entire area has "disappeared" from people's "attention".

A Secret Service commander in black uniform stood next to the mobile "node" device at the entrance of the community and looked up at the target building not far away-the six-story old building with white walls and blue roofs was quite eye-catching under the blue sky. At this moment, there were several seemingly inconspicuous "birds" circling around the outer wall of the building, occasionally approaching a window on the third floor, and the forward action team had already entered the building at this time and was reporting the situation ahead through the intercom.

"This is 'Hunter'. We have arrived at the designated floor. The surrounding environment is stable. Wait for the next instruction."

The action team's report came from the headset. The on-site commander ordered them to stand by, and then looked to his side.

A young Secret Service agent was lowering his head slightly, sensing the vision from the "flying birds".

"Can you confirm the situation in the house?" asked the on-site commander.

A small bird landed lightly on the windowsill on the third floor of the target building and looked into the house.

"I can't see the interior, but I can sense the residual spiritual fluctuations. There is indeed extraordinary power in the target room," the young agent said quickly, "...Further perception is blocked, and the specific location of the personnel cannot be determined. Interference should be set up."

"A classic trick of the cultists," the on-site commander pulled the corner of his mouth, "It's enough to confirm that they are there... 'Hunter', prepare to break the door."

"Yes!"

...

The urgent ring of the phone suddenly interrupted Song Cheng's work. He reached out to pick up the microphone and glanced at the incoming call prompt. His expression immediately became serious.

"Hello, it's me - what's going on?"

A fast-paced report came from the receiver, and the next moment, Song Chengji stood up from behind the table.

"What do you mean by 'all dead'? Explain clearly - are all the victims captured by the Angel Cult dead? Are there innocent people sacrificed at the scene? Or are they the original residents of the residential building..."

The on-site commander on the other side of the phone spoke a few words in a hurried tone, and Song Cheng's expression gradually stiffened.

"... all the TM cultists are dead?!"

...

Yu Sheng sat on the balcony on the second floor of the east building, looking through the window at the doll-heads who were doing outdoor activities on the playground. Seeing a group of children running around the yard and shouting under the leadership of half-grown children, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

The feeling was very subtle, but he could indeed feel that a subtle "connection" had been established between him and these children, and he could even vaguely feel the carefree mood coming from the playground.

Just like the clear sky now.

"That's great," Irene climbed onto the windowsill from the side and looked at the scene on the playground outside with Yu Sheng. The little puppet said with emotion, "Children's happiness is simple. It would be better if they didn't chase me all over the yard." "They like you very much," Yu Sheng looked at the resentful little puppet happily, "I saw it in the classroom just now. There are two little girls who want to help you comb your hair, right?" It would have been better if he didn't say that. When he said that, Irene almost fell off the windowsill: "Fuck, don't mention such a terrible thing! I saw them pull the head off a doll with my own eyes. Combing hair! You scared me to death, okay! "

Hu Li was also standing nearby, and she had a thoughtful expression on her face from the beginning. At this time, she suddenly broke the silence: "In this way, all the children in this orphanage are now protected by the benefactor's witch blood technique, right?"

"Yes," Irene sat on the windowsill and swung her legs, "The more than 70 children in the entire orphanage are now in Yu Sheng's hands..."

Yu Sheng immediately glared at the puppet: "Can't you use a nice word? What do you mean by all 'fallen' into my hands? ! "

This book has been updated recently in ##!! Update!

Hu Li ignored Irene's interruption, but thought about it seriously, and then continued: "But this is only a temporary measure - the benefactor is now only protecting the children currently affected by the "fairy tale", but there will always be new children affected by the "fairy tale", and we still have to find a way to cure it from the root."

"That's right... We still have to find a way to solve this problem from the root," Yu Sheng sighed and said slowly, "I don't know if Little Red Riding Hood has found any problems - I don't know what's going on, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart since a while ago."

Irene's expression immediately became serious: "This This kind of thing can't be neglected-spiritual intuition is warning you? "

"It's not that serious," Yu Sheng hesitated a little, and after a very rigorous judgment, he slowly shook his head, "It's probably just the level of 'spiritual intuition swaying', not yet the level of 'spiritual intuition banging'."

Irene listened in amazement, and after a long while, she choked out a sentence: "When can you change your description like a lunatic, who can understand what you mean..."

Yu Sheng scratched his hair, and just when he was about to say something else, a slightly hurried footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the corridor, interrupting his movements.

The three people in front of the window sill looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Little Red Riding Hood hurriedly walking over, followed by the chubby tabby cat.

As soon as he saw the expression on the girl's face, Yu Sheng knew that she must have found something wrong.

"What did you find?" He immediately stepped forward and asked.

Little Red Riding Hood waved her hand and said quickly, "The rats and cockroaches in the basement of the west building have disappeared."

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Irene, and didn't react for a moment. After two or three seconds, he hesitated and said, "Uh... congratulations?"

"Is this something to congratulate?" Little Red Riding Hood glared at Yu Sheng, "This is obviously an abnormal situation! Hey, I haven't finished yet. Then the 'king' and I checked along the underground passage of the west building, and finally found something near a ventilation shaft where the west building and the east building are connected..."

As she spoke, she quickly took out her mobile phone, called up a picture and handed it to Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng took the phone curiously and saw a photo on the screen that was hastily taken in the underground passage.

The light in the photo was not very good, and the lens seemed to be covered with a layer of blurry things, but he could still see that there were many layers of overlapping outlines and shadows on the corridor wall in the photo.

Yu Sheng frowned, trying to figure out what the shadows on the wall were. After a long while, he suddenly took a deep breath.

"It's the trees," Little Red Riding Hood said slowly beside him, "The faint light passes through the woods and casts the shadows of the trees on the wall, casting shadows like this - in the underground passage of the west building, the wall is projected with the appearance of a dark forest."
