"Auntie, you look so old."

Nurse:"???"

The sudden and heavy blow made the nurse's heart tremble. She subconsciously prepared to say "But you will die before me", but suddenly realized how much harm this sentence would cause to Li Mo, so she quickly stopped talking.

Chapter 43: The Tsundere Little Master and the Lively Maid (1w)

The nurse lowered her head and saw Li Mo's pure and innocent eyes, and suddenly a strong sense of guilt surged in her heart.

This kid is just telling the truth. Maybe he does look a little old?

After all, what bad intentions could a three-year-old have...

The nurse, feeling aggrieved, quickly left Li Mo and this sad place, and before leaving she did not forget to give him a pack of milk.

Li Mo naturally accepted all these nutritional supplements. After all, what he lacked most now was nutrition.

If a person's physical condition that is easily blown down is not properly managed, big problems will arise sooner or later.

However, judging from the current trend, there seems to be no solution. Nutritional supplements can at best prevent the hole from getting bigger, but they cannot fill the bottomless pit. If we want to cure it, we have to solve the problem from the root.

Li Mo did have some ideas, but they were incomplete and full of loopholes.

Ask Otto to help make a soul steel body, or borrow the Black Abyss White Flower to release the zero-rated power to heal yourself.

Li Mo didn't dare to make any hasty decision. He would just pass the former, but how to borrow the key of life and death for the latter was a problem.

Even if Cecilia is willing, I'm afraid Otto won't allow it.

He couldn't afford to gamble.

Li Mo seriously doubted whether he could live to be eighteen...

The most important thing is... where is Shigure Kirara now?

Li Mo lowered his head and remained silent, his eyes dim.

All the answers can only be revealed when he goes to the haunted house again. Now, he must seize every opportunity to leave the war zone.

"Li Mo! Li Mo!"

Li Mo: “…”

Li Mo really wanted to put on that very popular cucumber face and add a voiceover: Who in the family understands! What a big word!

The nurse came back and took Li Mo to the back of the camp.

"Captain Cocolia invites all the children to a dinner party. There will be so many delicious foods and drinks. Come on, come on, I'll take you there."

Li Mo did not refuse, since he couldn't refuse anyway.

He followed the nurse to an unpretentious restaurant.

To be honest, Cocolia really cares about the children and has prepared a lot of desserts.

It took a lot of thought to come up with these things during such a special period. I guess Cocolia's wallet must have been bleeding a lot, even though her military rank is captain.

The captain was not wealthy enough to do that, and Cocolia's own dream would require a huge investment.

Li Mo was very self-aware and sat in a secluded corner, far away from Cocolia.

Because he couldn't compete with others.

The children had already gathered in groups and sat closer to Cocolia. Each small group had a leader-like figure. The other members of the group would give the best seats to the leader and sit next to him or her to continue playing their indispensable and important roles, so as to avoid being isolated and lonely.

Li Mo quietly put all kinds of nutritious food into his mouth, just to prevent the holes in his body from expanding again.

Desserts and drinks... Although he really wanted to eat them, Li Mo knew very well that this banquet was rare and if he missed this one, he might not get the next one.

You can't always eat delicious meat.

In the restaurant, apart from Cocolia sitting at the main table, there were only young children sitting at the table.

With Li Mo taking the lead, other children also began to enjoy the food. Children's taste buds are more sensitive than adults' and they can't get enough of sweets.

After a while, all the desserts on the table were gone. Because the desserts took up too much space in their stomachs, they couldn't eat more rice and meat.

Afterward, Kokolia stood up, walked over to a child, and asked gently, "Your name is Ashata, right? What are your plans for the future?"

When her name was called, Asada was excited. She raised her voice and said in a very familiar voice, "I want to be as powerful as Cocolia's mother! I can endure hardships, and I can shoot! I want to kill all those bad guys!"

The words were full of resentment, Ashata gnashed her teeth, her eyes full of hatred.

It seemed that influenced by the first person, and coupled with Cocolia's smile and approval of Asata's speech, the subsequent speeches were similar.

A trace of imperceptible contempt flashed across Li Mo's eyes.

No matter whether Cocolia asked about dreams or plans, children don't think there is any difference at all. They are just imitating the people around them.

Do you have this thought? Of course, but is it what you most want to do? I'm afraid not.

Finally, Cocolia walked up to Li Mo. She paused and asked, "Li Mo."

"Ah."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Live."

"Live?" Kokolia looked puzzled and immediately realized Li Mo's physical condition. According to the doctor's opinion, without help, Li Mo would not live to the day of adulthood.

So for him, survival is the most important thing.

"Survive by any means necessary." Li Mo looked at Cocolia with a firm gaze.

Everything is still possible while she is alive. As long as he hasn't seen Gui Shigure, then she may still be alive.

If this world is really the origin of the haunted house world, then he will definitely run into Shigure Kirara in the future.

Or maybe Shigure Kirara, like herself, had also come into this world.

"follow me."

Kokolia took Li Mo to a small room with only two people and took out the documents provided by Aklessi.

"I can provide you with the necessities for survival, but in exchange, you will not have the opportunity to go to school or to study on the battlefield with me like others."

"You can only live in the house I provide for your whole life. More orphans will come one after another in the future. My time is limited, and there are few people I can trust. You have to take care of them for me..."

Cocolia looked at the young Li Mo and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Was I too exhausted from work? To actually trust a three or four-year-old...this is totally wrong.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything and go back."

But Li Mo did not take any action. He would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Ashata goes to bed at 8pm. She has three best friends, and the youngest one kicks the covers when she sleeps, between 11pm and 2am."

"Of all the children, Artyom is the strongest. He already has five younger brothers, and under the pretext of protecting them, he has infused them with a cult of personality."

"..."

"..."

Over the past few days, while all the children were playing, he would quietly observe their every move.

Although the original intention was to find Shigure Kirara, he gained a lot of information about the children's daily routines and patterns.

Observing people is much easier than observing ghosts. At least all their behaviors can be understood, inferred, and remembered.

Li Mo described each child's habits, personality, and recent physical condition bit by bit, neither hurriedly nor slowly.

Because they were together day and night, Li Mo knew them even better than the nurses and attending doctors.

Cocolia was stunned and looked at Li Mo in surprise, "Why... do you remember it so clearly?"

"Also, where did you learn the term cult of personality?"

Li Mo had anticipated Cocolia's question and responded with his prepared words, "I remembered it after reading it once. I saw the term cult of personality from a doctor when I went for a checkup. He was holding a book with the term and its explanation in it."

Li Mo continued to pretend to be harmless and didn't mind sharing his expertise at all.

He didn't dare reveal all of it. Cocolia had a special feeling for children, but not for an old man.

Therefore, it is enough to just show that you are slightly outstanding.

The powerful learning ability is the special feature that Li Mo deliberately exposed to Cocolia.

Cocolia was silent, staring at the document in her hand for a long time, and finally handed it to Li Mo again and pointed at the contents on it.

"If you sign your name here, I will do my best to provide you with food and daily necessities that will ensure your safety. However, you will not be able to leave at any time and will be confined to the manor most of the time."

Li Mo nodded, picked up the pen beside him and was about to write his name.

Unexpectedly, Cocolia grabbed him and asked, "Do you know what this means?"

Li Mo replied: "Loss of freedom."

"But I want to survive. I have no right to refuse a deal with a big shot like you. This may be my only chance to survive."

"Besides, my body doesn't support me leaving, so this price is nothing to me."

After hearing this, Cocolia finally let go of her hand and let Li Mo write her name on the paper document.

It was clearly a perfect deal.

The orphanage will not be exposed, and Li Mo must depend on her. Nothing is more secure than having the leverage over the partner.

This is clearly how it should be...

Cocolia was a little distracted, and said in a low and dull voice:

"You seem a little dissatisfied?"

"No." Li Mo replied.

"In one day, I'll send someone to take you to your destination in the Far East. I don't have many trustworthy people under my command, and I rarely have time myself... Don't worry, I'll definitely come to see you as soon as I'm free. So, in the orphanage, you'll be the decision-maker. You'll have to take on the responsibility of an older brother and protect the younger brothers and sisters who will join the orphanage in the future."

"Don't worry about money. As long as I'm alive, I'll be able to afford it. I guess... At least I won't let you guys live too hard... I mean, save money."

Cocolia preached to Li Mo seriously, not caring whether Li Mo could understand or not.

Since Li Mo has this talent, it won't take too long for him to understand it.

"...Just me?" Li Mo grasped the key point of Cocolia's speech.

She said she only took him to his destination and didn't mention the other people at the dinner.

why?

Are you sending other children in to make sure the orphanage is safe?

It seems like I'm the unlucky one again.

As expected, Cocolia confirmed Li Mo's suspicions: "Yes, you will live in here alone for the time being. I will issue a commission and hire a professional to take care of your daily needs."

hire?

Li Mo was silent. It seemed that the Cocolia in this world was not much different from the Cocolia in the original book.

There is basically no one around me who I can trust.

It is not difficult to understand that Cocolia's circle is destined to have few compassionate people around her, who are unable to empathize with her. They will not understand or even refute Cocolia's behavior of sparing no effort to adopt displaced orphans.

So she was destined to have no companions in the team.

If it were Li Mo, he would definitely choose to stay away from people who waste money recklessly.

Ending a protracted war can save more unfortunate people than taking in orphans.

"Do you agree?" Cocolia confirmed again.

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded. He had no right to refuse.

"Okay, take a nap. When you wake up, you'll be at your destination..."

Cocolia planned to take Li Mo to the manor provided in Alexei's document in the Far East while Li Mo was asleep to verify its authenticity first.

If she was wrong, she could immediately go back to Alexi to settle the score.

If everything matches the description in the document, we will find a temporary housekeeper or servant locally to help take care of every detail of the manor and take care of Li Mo's daily life.

When more people come to the orphanage, Cocolia believes that Li Mo will arrange other things.

Just need the housekeeper to give more guidance.
