I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 227 The Orphanage

Julian had an indescribable expression on his face, his lips moved, but he still didn't say anything.

Forget it, as long as you are happy..._(:з」∠)_

The two walked slowly in the gray fog, and the gray fog around them was constantly changing, gathering and dispersing from time to time.

Julian saw some gray mist condensed into various humans and creatures, as if a mime was being staged, and the next second the gray mist collapsed into a cloud, as if everything just now was his own illusion.

The gray mist came and went, the two randomly found some topics, and walked forward while chatting. Unknowingly, the scene in front of them changed again, and they appeared in front of a dilapidated house.

Cosmo raised his eyebrows: "The Nightmare Lord really won't let us go."

"No surprise." Julian shrugged: "It took so many years for him to seize the opportunity to trap so many people in a nightmare, and he must not be willing to just let us go."

There is also a small courtyard in front of the house surrounded by a high wall. The courtyard and the outside are separated into two worlds by a heavy iron gate. Outside the iron gate is a small road leading to nowhere. Covered in thick gray fog.

"You said..." Julian rubbed his chin: "If I walk along the road, will I get out of this nightmare?"

"You can try it." Cosmo said with a smile.He didn't think the Nightmare Lord would leave such a big loophole for them.

After hearing this, Julian simply walked towards the end of the path. Although he knew in his heart that this was basically impossible, he still felt unwilling not to try it.

He walked for a while, and found that the gray fog at the end of the path seemed to be moving with his movement, but when he looked back, the distance between himself and Cosmo did not seem to increase.

He sighed silently, but suddenly, the gray fog in front rolled up, and then a familiar face appeared.

"Hey, why are you here?" It was a male soldier from another team who spoke.

Afterwards, the left and right gray fog rolled up at the same time, and the other team members also walked out of the gray fog.

"Where is this?" Judy looked at Julian.

Julian spread his hands: "I guess...this may be another dream."

Hearing this, the faces of the other people suddenly darkened. Even though they knew in their hearts that escaping would not be an easy task, they still felt heavy when they heard that they had entered another dream.

Julian brought a few people back to the front of the old house, and the soldier just now showed a 'shit' expression.

Cosmo noticed this keenly: "Do you know this place?"

"Uh... yes." Concealment is meaningless. The male soldier nodded and said yes, then showed a toothache expression, and said to himself: "Why is it here? This is troublesome..."

"Why bother? What's wrong with it?" Julian asked quickly.

The male soldier glanced at the old house with some distress, and finally sighed, telling what he knew.

This old house used to be an orphanage. Even though it is not big, it used to house hundreds of children.

The vast majority of those children are the children of prostitutes, not the prostitutes in brothels, but prostitutes who have lost their husbands and have no source of income, and can only make a living by selling their bodies secretly.

There are almost no preventive measures here, so the arrival of the children is not surprising. It is impossible for them to raise these children whose fathers are unknown. Being sent to the orphanage is their last conscience. Know how many drowned in the river.

The dean of the orphanage is a kind old lady. This house was also left by her husband. She struggled to raise money, but as the children grew up day by day, the money was still not enough. The old lady went out once. An accident occurred during the fundraising process, and her successor became her nephew.

However, things went wrong with her nephew.

Her nephew is not a good person at all, you can never imagine how bad a person can be.

At first, his nephew didn't want to keep the orphanage, he just wanted to sell the house and fly away with the money, but no one knew what he came into contact with later, so he changed his mind and took over the management of the orphanage.

The new head of the orphanage is running around every day for the charity of the orphanage, but he has never seen him improve any conditions here, and what is even more frightening is that because of the chaotic management, children from the orphanage will disappear from time to time.

The new dean's excuse was that those children were so stubborn that they couldn't bear the conditions of the orphanage and ran away, but in fact, it was he who sold those children, and sold the good ones to the nobles as playthings. The strong ones were sold as fighters in the underground arena, and even those thin children were sold at a high price, because there are a handful of big men who just like to see those thin children being torn to pieces by wild beasts scene.

His business is booming, and the orphanage has completely become a devil's den. He even hired people to capture those street children back, in the name of providing them with a good living environment. But in fact, within a few days, someone would find out that all those children had 'run away'. ,

In this way, the new dean became the nightmare of all the orphans. Later, he even unabashedly dragged those beautiful girls into his office.

No one knew the tragic fate of these orphans, and even many children who had been bullied in order to make their lives better, in turn helped the new dean to suppress the new children.

There are a lot of bones buried in the orphanage. In the end, this incident will break out because they captured a homeless child on the street. This child is very smart. Appeared before, on the surface, they escaped from the orphanage, but since they escaped, why didn't they come back?

Among the children who were taken away was his good friend. He couldn't find any news about his good friend, so he simply sneaked into the orphanage, but when he discovered the secret here, he also realized that he couldn't escape .

This child has a bit of a wolfish nature. After knowing the truth about the orphanage, he didn't explode, but endured it. Relying on his ability to observe words and expressions, he quickly became acquainted with the guards and became their little brother. One day, they were overwhelmed by drugs, and after releasing all the other children, they burned down the orphanage.

The reason why the male soldier knew about this was because he was only a small city defense force at the time, and the fire that started alarmed the people in the city. When the city lord sent someone to investigate, it happened that their team was on duty. After investigation, he learned the truth.

"It's strange, I don't think this is my nightmare?" The male soldier scratched his head, still wondering, he was familiar with this place, but he really didn't think there was anything scary about it.

Julian reminded from the side: "When you investigated, this place was burned down, but now, the house is still fine."

"You mean... the new dean might still be there? Even the kids and the guards are there?" Judy caught the point right away.

Julian glanced at him and nodded, this Judy is really good, no matter in terms of talent or character, it would be even better if she doesn't like herself...

The male soldier still didn't understand: "What if the new dean is alive? Are we still afraid of him?"

This group of people can even wipe out demons and stitch monsters, so are they still afraid of a few ordinary people?

Saying this, everyone pushed open the big iron door. In the quiet environment, only the creaking sound of the iron door could be heard. Everyone walked in cautiously, but found that there were not as many people here as they had imagined. people?

"What does this mean? You can't play hide-and-seek with us, right?" The male soldier looked around in a daze. There were only some old boxes in the yard, which seemed to be used by children to play, and nothing else.

"Shouldn't..." Julian was also puzzled. The Nightmare Lord is not an idiot. He has experienced Judy's nightmare. He will definitely not release the evil spirit of the new dean. It's all about delivering food to them.

It is also impossible to say that deciphering is impossible. After all, the background story of the male soldier has already been told. The cause and effect are clear, and there is no meaning of deciphering.

Suddenly, everyone felt that their eyes went dark, and then they regained their vision.

But at this time, everyone noticed that something was wrong. Many children appeared in the dead yard just now. They played around noisyly, turning a blind eye to the extra Julian and others.

"What's going on?" the male soldier asked in surprise.

Everyone looked back, and was surprised to find that the male soldier turned out to be a five or six-year-old boy. He didn't have any weapons on him, and he was only wearing a worn linen shirt. The group of them turned into children, the older ones were eleven or twelve years old, and the younger ones were only three or four years old. They stood in the corner of the yard wearing shabby clothes.

"You, yes, it's you guys! Why are you in a daze! Get over here!" A tall, strong, middle-aged woman with a fierce face waved her fist at them like a demonstrator, letting them pass.

Julian and Cosmo looked at each other, and both had an idea in their hearts, but for now, it is more convenient to stay still.

"Come on, come on." Julian was lucky, it happened to be the eleven or twelve-year-old child, he was taller than the others, and walked towards the woman on his own initiative.

"A group of little bastards, dawdling and not working! Don't you want to eat!" Probably because Julian was good-looking, the middle-aged woman stopped talking after scolding him a few times, and vented her anger to other people.

Other team members: ... This world is based on faces!

Julian: ...Is it my fault for being good-looking? ╮(￣▽￣")╭

While the middle-aged women were cursing, Julian finally managed to figure out their identities. It turned out that they were homeless children who had just been found from the street. They had only been here for three days. Give them something good to eat, the cook herself can't eat too good food, so she is naturally in a bad mood when she learns that they can eat meat.

Julian understood in his heart that this meal was the so-called severed head meal, and it was not a good intention to let them eat enough. He just hoped that they would look more energetic and sell for a good price!
