“Why don’t we go look for mom while Lingling is still asleep?” said Jace, the eldest brother.

“That’s fine too.”

Renault nodded in agreement, and then he reminded:

“You guys go in other directions, I didn’t see any nuns on the way back”

“I won’t go with you. If Lingling wakes up and finds no one here, she will be worried.”

“The nun knows that today is Lingling’s birthday. She said she would give Lingling a surprise. I believe she will come back soon.”

“Don’t worry, Renault, we got it.”

The children formed their own teams and walked into the forest in twos and threes.

After everyone left, Renault frowned and looked at a boy in a black windbreaker.

The others went to find Carmelo, and only he stayed here.

Renault didn’t have a deep impression of this boy. He only knew that his name was Black Shadow.

It was not known whether it was a name or a nickname, but everyone called him that.

For more than three months, he played well with the other children here, except for this Black Shadow. He was usually taciturn and frugal with words.

Renault said no more than three sentences to him.

Even when facing Carmelo, he looked extremely cold.

“”Why don’t you go find the nun?”

Renault asked out of curiosity.

In response to Renault’s question, the black shadow slowly raised his head and stared at Renault with a pair of narrow eyes.

The black shadow’s abnormal behavior made Renault frown. This look made him very uncomfortable.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Renault lost interest and prepared to go to the room to find Lingling.

Just as he was about to reach out to open the door, the black shadow’s voice sounded faintly behind him.

“mom…….”Did something happen to mom?”

The black shadow’s voice was not loud, but such a casual sentence was like thunder exploding in Renault’s ears.

In just one second, Renault thought of many possibilities.

Did he see what happened just now?

Absolutely impossible!

His observation Haki can now cover an area of several hundred meters. If the black shadow was there just now, there is no reason why he could not find it.

After ruling out this possibility, Renault suppressed his surprise and turned around to ask:

“Black Shadow, why do you say that?”

“Did you see something?”

The black shadow shook his head, and Renault breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay, don’t think too much, the nun must have been delayed by something, so she didn’t come back.”

“Maybe she will come back with Jace and the others later.”

Renault touched the shadow, who was about his age, like a little adult, and smiled to comfort him.

However, the shadow’s next words directly wiped out the smile on Renault’s face.

“Renault, you smell like blood.”

The shadow stared at Renault and spoke word by word.

The shadow’s shocking words made Renault’s mind go blank. He began to look at this boy who he had never noticed since he came to the Lamb’s House.

This boy who had no sense of existence from beginning to end

“What else do you know? ?”

At this point, Renault no longer concealed it and asked in a low voice.

Of course, no matter what the black shadow knew, he would not hurt him.

After all, he was just a child deceived by Carmelo.

“I did not mean anything else”

“After Lingling’s birthday, you will leave, right? ?”

“I want to go to sea with you!”

“Huh?”

The shadow’s words surprised Renault again.

“I thought you were going to ask me about Carmel.”

“Mom? ?”

As if he had thought of something, the shadow’s expression was a little melancholy.

He didn’t look at Renault again, but just said to himself:”Mom……My mother is a very contradictory person. I once secretly discovered that the way she looked at Jace and the others was scary, terrifying, and ferocious…….I……I feel that my mother is not that good.”

The black shadow spoke intermittently, with a trace of pain on his face.

Renault stared at the black shadow, he could feel that the black shadow was speaking these words with true feelings, without any disguise.

“Tell me, how do you smell me?”

“How did you find out about Carmelite?”

“There are so many children, why can’t they smell it, they didn’t notice it, but you are the only one? ?”

Renault asked again. Before coming here, he deliberately dealt with all the marks on his body, so there shouldn’t be any clues.

“I have a naturally sensitive sense of smell and can smell things that other people can’t.”

“As for Mom……”

When he said this, a trace of pain appeared on the black shadow’s face, as if he was thinking of some bad memories.

After a while, he continued:

“My father is a killer. He started training me when I was eight years old, determined to make me the most powerful killer in the sea. But when I was ten years old, my father was killed, and it was from that time that I was adopted by my mother.”

“My observation ability is better than that of ordinary people, and I don’t like playing games with them, and my mother doesn’t pay attention to me.”

The experience of the shadow made Renault look at him twice.

He didn’t expect that the boy in front of him was actually a killer who had been trained for five years.

“I don’t know what happened during the time you and mom were away. I just want to get out of here.”

“Take me away from here.”

The shadow grabbed Renault’s arm and begged.

Looking at the shadow with expectation, Renault had a complicated expression.

There seemed to be a lot of accidents today.

First, the long bread appeared, and now the shadow’s abnormal

“OK! I promise you”

“But after you get out, you have to listen to my arrangements.”

Renault said calmly.

“Also, the Carmelite thing”

“Don’t worry, I don’t know anything.”

The black shadow nodded very tactfully.

“You should go find them too, at least pretend to come back with them”

“”Okay!”

Then the black shadow walked into the forest.
