It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"get out."

He spat, not forgetting to add "freak."

Weier pulled up some of her sleeves to cover the marks on her fingers, then pushed the door open and walked towards the yard.

At this time, most of the children have already started to rest, and maybe there will be staff checking the room earlier.But they now prefer to huddle in a few warm rooms with charcoal burning, doing things that will make adults happy.

She came to a row of cedar trees at the corner between the yard and the building,

"The sixth tree, the sixth tree..."

Weier found her destination, and knelt in the dry and fragile grass, brushing off some snow near the roots of the trees with her hands.

There are no plants on this piece of ground, and the soil seems to have been newly turned not long ago.The girl scooped up the soil with a shovel hidden in advance, exposing the things under the dry and hard soil.

Dry, soil-stained hair appeared near the roots of the tree, and its owner had already lost his life and slept peacefully in the soil.

Here is buried the kitten Branca that was once raised by the orphanage. The orphanage had no extra food for it, and Branca, who was extremely cold, failed to survive the winter in the end.

"Great, nothing has changed... Winter is so nice, Branca doesn't rot and grow nasty bugs."

There was an innocent and gentle smile on the girl's face, which was very suitable for the cute-looking Wei Er, provided it was not in such a weird situation.

She prayed devoutly, then lowered her hair and made scalp-numbing chewing and licking sounds.

Moments later, only dry fur and protruding bones remained in the shallow pothole under the tree.

The girl touched her stomach with a sad expression, she was far from satisfied.

"The ninth tree...the ninth tree..."

Wei'er stood up unsteadily, and walked a few steps not far away.

In Lesson [-], there was a stiff seabird lying under the cedar tree. It was unable to fly far because its wings were injured.

A handkerchief was wrapped around its wounded left wing, but it didn't make any sense, the bird had frozen to death here, or died earlier from some other cause.

"Don't be afraid...you won't feel cold after being eaten by me."

Val Farmigne stroked the stiff feathers of the little bird with an innocent and lovely smile.

After a while, there were only some messy feathers left under the ninth tree.

"No.11...No.11..."

The girl's soft voice echoed in the cedars and the night, with a strange melody like a cheerful but weird nursery rhyme.

Two Versions of the Chapter 2 Story

A week has passed, but the status quo has not improved.

There is still no news from the ship that disappeared at sea a few months ago, and the port is blocked due to the snowstorm.In this inclement weather, everyone knows what that means.

In this cold weather, the city did not become silent.The smell of gunpowder permeated the streets, and strikes, armed fights, robberies, and armed suppressions occurred from time to time.

Wei'er occasionally hears a few words that she doesn't understand in the mouths of adults, such as coup d'etat, revolution, or news of the death of an unknown gentleman.

But after all, this is nothing to do with her. All the girl thinks about is how to fill her stomach as much as possible.

Criteria for leaving the orphanage were loosened, and those who were close to age were evicted from the place early, but that did not mean that those who remained were given more food.

The snow made transportation difficult, and there was less and less food available in the city—or, moreover, for the orphans.

Starting three days ago, two meals a day were reduced to one.

The ones who left might have been adopted by others, or found a way to make a living, because Vale didn't remember seeing them anywhere else in a long time.

--For a long time.

Weier thought so, and left an abandoned building, she probably won't come to this place again for a long time, so before leaving, she took another look at this place covered with snow and pleasant memories.

Passing through the fence and gravel path, Weier returned to the orphanage.

The atmosphere here today is a bit strange, the staff are not as busy as in the past, they are gathering near the courtyard gate to argue about something.

After seeing Weier, the nun who used to be a bit mean frowned and said:

"She went to that strange place again..."

The nun refers to the abandoned repair factory that is separated from the orphanage by a fence. It was originally the same as the "Benevolence" orphanage, and it was also one of someone's properties. However, one month after the ship lost news, the staff and the person in charge gradually disappeared. left.

Before the weather turned cold, the abandoned repair shop was also a place where children in the orphanage often visited, but nowadays few people go to that place.

In a sense, the repair shop of the wrecked freighter is also like an ominous place left by the dead, and people do not want to approach it over time.

Mr. Alexi squatted in front of Famini and gently patted the girl's shoulder.He has always been the kindest person to children among many employees. It was the first time that Weier saw such a complicated expression on his face.

She faintly felt that something was coming, which the girl had already expected.

Before the other party spoke, Wei'er raised her head, her eyes like a big purple gemstone had no haze in them:

"Is it time for Wei'er to leave?"

Alexy was stunned, he felt that it was difficult for him to look directly at the well-behaved child in front of him.

He finally just nodded silently.

Wei'er had nothing that could be taken away from the orphanage. Apart from one or two pieces of close-fitting clothing, she probably had nothing that really belonged to her.

Just before Wei'er was about to turn around and leave, Alexi grabbed her and slipped a silver coin into the girl's hand.

"Wei'er did nothing wrong, it's all our useless adults' fault."

His eyes became sad, and they were hidden in a gentle smile.

"So... please try to live, you will have good luck."

Will there be good luck...?

-

With the last bit of light being covered by night, snowflakes floated in the sky again. This kind of crystal hexagonal flowers bloomed all over the world, beautiful but without temperature.

Wei'er huddled under the eaves on the street, and her thin clothes could not resist the cold at all.In the water-soaked shoes, the cold socks cling to the skin of the feet, and it is hard to tell whether it is a soreness or pain coming from there.

She had heard someone tell of it, the frozen limbs falling from the body like shattered icicles.Now it seems that this is not a very funny joke to those who have experienced it first-hand.

Fingers and ears exposed to the north wind are more worrying than feet in cloth shoes.Wei'er pulled down the wind hat as much as possible and used it to barely cover her ears. Her frozen fingers were a bit uncomfortable. The girl held them in her mouth and warmed her fingers with warm and moist saliva.

The touch of her fingers and the taste of salt made Wei'er want to bite down, and she was hungry again.

What can a franc buy, enough bread for several meals, or a pair of gloves to keep your fingers from freezing, maybe a few old clothes to keep out the cold.

Just when Wei Er was hesitating whether to spend it, a large figure appeared in front of the girl.

It was a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated figure. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had a gentle demeanor.

"Are you OK?"

The somewhat chubby gentleman put down his umbrella, bent down and extended his hand to the girl who was about to freeze.

"Come to my house, I can give you warm food and shelter."

【You will have good luck】

Weier thought of Mr. Alexi's blessing before he left, maybe it was just what he said.

A middle-aged man lives in a single-family house in the city. Most people who can own such a residence in a bustling downtown are very wealthy.

The already heated fireplace makes the room very warm. This is another world completely different from the outside world.

A neat and soft white tablecloth was placed on the long table, and its material was even better than Farmini's clothes.The silver dinner plate is filled with warm food, steaming bread, creamy soup, orange-red suckling pig, desserts and even some fresh vegetables and fruits...

Farmine had never seen such a sumptuous dinner since she could remember. She forgot the proper manners and shame, and even stuffed the bread into her mouth with her bare hands without using a knife and fork.

The middle-aged man took off his coat. He stood behind Weier, holding the chair with both hands, and his eyes wandered over the girl's young body.

"What a rude girl, can't even say a word of thanks?"

"Thank you...thank you..."

Wei'er swallowed the food hard and whispered.

"Just saying thank you is not enough, come and do something happy with me."

At this moment, the man tore off the veil of tenderness, and the smelly breath like a pig hit the girl's body. He stretched out his hand and threw the girl on the sofa and began to tear her dress.

With the sound of the cloth cracking, the girl's smooth belly was exposed, it was not like the dirty and skinny waif, but the soft and beautiful curves of a lamb.

Without the expected resistance and screaming, he couldn't help wondering if he had knocked the opponent unconscious with his shot too hard, and although it would take away some of the fun, it didn't matter.

Before he could take the next step, a blackened silver coin bounced and landed on the middle-aged man's thigh. It was like a red-hot branding iron or a corrosive liquid that quickly opened the man's two pants, and Let the skin of his thighs blacken and smoke.

The man howled in pain, subconsciously raised his head, and at this moment a silver table knife magnified rapidly in his eyes.

His vision suddenly lost its normal, the normal of the world changed from red to black, the knife pierced his left eye straight, even though the wound was not deep, the location and pain made him go crazy!

The man was furious, but something even more terrifying made him scream. The flesh and blood under the skin squirmed and gushed out of the wound, like a lake with a gate opened.

"Let's have dinner together."

The girl stroked his gradually shriveled body, showing a gentle smile.

The silver coin fell lightly on the ground and bounced a few times. It indeed brought luck and protection to the girl.

It's a perfectly satisfying story, if it's true.

-

A gentleman in a tuxedo and a strange mask sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, closing the black diary casually.

"Well, let's call it a diary. Lovely lady, it's very interesting...but it's not real."

There was a strange scene in the room, the girl in the white dress was kneeling on the ground, beside her were several sets of empty underwear, and a shriveled corpse with only skin and skeleton left.

The blood spattered from the table knife still stuck to Wei Er's face. Two days had passed since she killed the unknown middle-aged man, but there were far more than one corpse in the room.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, do you mean Weier lied?"

The girl tilted her head, showing genuine doubts.

The gentleman's face was completely hidden under the mask, but Weier felt that he was smiling happily.The man put his stick on the ground and sat up a little straighter.
