At that time, the two of them were chatting quite speculatively. After the boss learned about Li Mo's family situation, he would give him a lot of meat every two weeks, including chicken, duck, fish, beef and so on.
Shigure Kirara would definitely not give the child much pocket money, after all, most of it would be used for the children's studies and life in the orphanage.
That little money definitely can't buy so much meat.
Li Mo felt a little emotional and sighed deeply.
He remembered this favor and decided to go and help old Otto Biden when he died and recovered, to repay the favor.
I feel embarrassed that I owe so much and haven't paid it back yet.
"Well, be careful when cooking and don't cut your hands." Li Mo reminded.
"Brother Li Mo, don't worry too much. We have cooked so many times, there will be no problem. Bronya said she also has some cooking skills, so we can cook together." Xing and the others passed by Li Mo and walked towards the kitchen.
Li Mo did not mention Xier specifically.
I have to wait for a suitable time to talk to her away from Bronya and Seele.
"Ok?"
Li Mo just came back to his senses from his thoughts and found that Xier at the back of the crowd was staring at him seriously.
When his eyes met hers, Xier shrank back like a mimosa.
"Are you shy?"
Li Mo didn't think about it in other ways. After all, he and Xier had only known each other for one day, and they were not familiar enough to look at each other subconsciously.
The emotions are not there either.
Li Mo looked at Xier's departing back.
The petite body swayed, and the snow-white and rosy little hands stretched naturally.
Her short black and blue hair falls to her shoulders without any head ornaments, which makes her look simple, pure and peaceful.
Unlike Huanhai Mengdie in the game who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, Xier in front of Li Mo was only wearing a simple light blue dress, like a pool of clear lake water flowing all over her body.
The white over-the-knee stockings wrapped around the skinny legs created an absolute realm of innocence and dreams between the skirt and the stockings.
"..."
"We need to ask Qiluo to pick out a dress with a longer hem for Xier. Xier is still young and can't be dressed so seductively."
As a guardian, it is natural to care about every aspect of the children.
Even though the butcher called him an old-fashioned guy, he was clearly in adolescence. The children were so cute, but everyone was wrapped up tightly, almost wearing a military coat.
Chapter 51 "Xi'er, welcome home." (7k)
In this regard, Li Mo only wants to quote the words of a certain Lu Weiren who does not want to be named - "Some people are already old, but they are still young; some people are still young, but they are already old."
The children each have their own responsibilities, leaving Li Mo with a lot of time.
"Let's check the manor first. There may be some problems on the fourth floor. We can't go there without complete preparations."
Li Mo knew exactly what he had to do.
The current state is too bad. It is difficult to deal effectively with unknown ghosts. In addition, the strange ability has been lost. There is no tolerance for restarting and emergency response for "usurpation". Once the rules are triggered, it will fall into a deadly situation.
So now is not the time to explore the secrets of the fourth floor.
It is known that there are problems with the four paintings hanging on the walls of the fourth floor, and the time and space on the fourth floor seem to be constantly refreshing.
Li Mo couldn't be sure because he only had a vague impression.
The scratches on the ground where the wheelchair moved disappeared inexplicably... Just like a haunted house, it refreshed its own damaged buildings.
Li Mo came outside the house and inspected other parts of the manor, recalling his memories as he inspected.
"I always feel that the picture on the fourth floor is very similar to the one I saw on the first three floors of the haunted house. I can't remember it clearly. My memory from more than ten years ago is too vague to be sure."
"But it's definitely related. The picture hanging on the wall of the third floor of the haunted house is the original blood-stained newspaper. Today I found the original blood-stained newspaper on the fourth floor before it transformed into something strange."
"It's impossible for a ghost to ignore the rules and hide itself. When I asked the blood newspaper a question, it didn't give any answer, so it hasn't become a strange thing yet."
"But……"
Li Mo stopped and looked back at the brightly lit house. It was shining brightly and there was a fragrance wafting towards him.
Li Mo had seen the picture three times. The first time was when he casually glanced at it before entering the fourth floor and reaching the bookshelf.
I didn't feel anything strange at the time, the picture was normal.
The second time was because he coughed up blood after choking on dust in his nose, and after he tentatively questioned the bloody newspaper.
The pictures on the wall became eerie and shadowy. It clearly depicted a haunted house, but it felt like countless figures were hiding inside.
I used my phone to illuminate the room but couldn't see anything.
The third time was when I put the bloody newspaper back to its original place on the bookshelf. The pictures on the wall became very strange, and it was also the time when my heart palpitations were the strongest.
Li Mo remembered it very clearly. He saw the door of the haunted house in the picture opened, and a thin figure walked out from inside, standing in the painting and looking at him.
Because it is a black shadow, it is impossible to tell who is in the picture.
This is exactly what Li Mo found very strange.
The picture is the essence of the bloody newspaper. If the picture revives, it means that the newspaper has also turned into a bloody newspaper and become a strange thing.
But the blood-stained newspaper did not answer his question. The two were contradictory, making Li Mo unable to judge.
There is no doubt that the fourth floor has changed, and there is no need to explain the reason.
Xi'er Fuleai.
But Li Mo couldn't figure out what Xier had done, or what had happened to her, that led to the changes on the fourth floor.
"My head is spinning. I can't figure it out."
"If only the notebook was still there, at least I wouldn't be running around like a headless chicken like I am now."
"Even if they dig a hole, I have to jump into it."
The notebook will give key hints. After getting the clues, you will most likely follow these clues to explore the truth.
If you don't want to be tricked by Notebook Yaben, just choose to ignore it and pretend that you never asked.
After a round of inspection, everything in the manor was as normal as before, and Li Mo did not find anything unusual.
When they returned home, dinner was already ready and the family sat at several tables.
Because Li Mo is from Shenzhou, the orphanage's dining etiquette also tends towards Shenzhou.
At the dinner table, Li Mo did not deliberately observe Xier's expression.
He looked at them one by one at first, and the time he spent looking at Xier was not much longer than that of the other children.
From this perspective, it seems more like I am caring about every child rather than deliberately observing Xier.
Xier was quite quiet, and the children would occasionally joke and talk about interesting topics while eating.
Even Bronya interrupted a few times, but Seele kept that fake smile on her face and said nothing, looking like an autistic girl.
What is she hiding?
Li Mo was very curious, but he couldn't show it.
If I show that I care about her, Xier will become alert and hide it more perfectly.
As long as I keep pretending to be stupid, Xier will always reveal her flaws.
After dinner, Li Mo returned to the fifth floor. The elevator was in the ninth room at the end of the corridor. He could return to his bedroom after getting out of the elevator.
Li Mo looked at the fairy tale book on the table, sighed, and then took out his mobile phone.
Li Mo skillfully opened the chat box with Shi Yu Qiluo and sent a word and a punctuation mark: "Are you there?"
About two minutes later, Shigure Kirara replied, "Here."
Li Mo: "What are you doing?"
Shigure Kirara: "Fight Honkai Beast."
Li Mo: "??? Then why are you replying to my message? It's too dangerous."
Shigure Kirara: "It's okay, it's been resolved."

Shigure Qiluo sent a picture. Li Mo opened it and found several Honkai Emperors collapsed on the ground, having lost the purple luster that symbolized Honkai energy.
Shigure Kirara: "I'm getting ready to get in the car and head to my next destination. I still have twelve commissions to complete. I'll go home after I've dealt with these Houkai incidents."
Li Mo: "Be careful, and don't set any flags."
Shigure Kirara: "Don't worry, although I'm not as good as you at handling supernatural events, I'm a benchmark in the industry when it comes to exterminating Honkai beasts."
"Oh, and one more thing. Captain Cecilia said she wanted to see my concert. Only then will the Bishop allow her to temporarily leave the Destiny Headquarters. But she still can't reveal her identity."
allow?
concert?
Li Mo covered his face, he probably knew the reason.
Otto, the old Biden, might be causing trouble again, so he wanted to meet with me to understand what the future holds.
He would definitely attend Shigure Kirara's concert, so Otto made an excuse, saying that Cecilia would be free for a short time if Shigure Kirara held a concert.
Cecilia herself must also want to go out and play. It is easy to feel bored and disconnected from society if she stays in the Destiny headquarters for a long time.
The Valkyries at the headquarters cannot avoid this situation, and the Valkyries at the Destiny headquarters are all very busy.
On the one hand, Shigure Kirara is thinking about Cecilia, and on the other hand, she can make a lot of money from her fans through the concert. It's the best of both worlds, so holding a concert is a foregone conclusion.
It's no problem to meet.
If I don't go, Otto will probably come to my house, so it's better not to let the children in the orphanage enter Otto's sight.
Li Mo: "Of course I can, but... can you sing?"
Li Mo would like to rank Shigure Qiluo's lost song behind Mei's dark cuisine.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
What is the value of a song where every line is off-key? Just a dozen words can be sung in a dozen different tones...
Shigure Kirara: "Oh, I've been questioned. I probably won't be holding a concert in the near future. I'm still very self-aware."
"The songs I uploaded online before were all tuned. I can't tune them live, and lip-syncing isn't my style."
"So I'm practicing singing every day now, and I'll hold a concert when I'm ready."
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. Li Mo was not worried about Otto, but was worried about whether Qiluo Xing would lose face.
Li Mo: "I will definitely come when the time comes."
Shigure Qiluo: "Hehe, of course I know. I will reserve the best seat at Qiluo Star's concert for you~~"
Just as the two were about to enter into their daily sweet love routine and chat about some cheesy things, there was a knock on the door.
Li Mo glanced at the time on his phone. It was 10:20 pm. Li Mo set the bedtime for the children to be 10 pm.
The children should be asleep at this time, so who is coming?
Li Mo turned off his phone, put it back in his bag, and coughed twice.
"Ahem...come in."
Li Mo was sitting in a wheelchair, facing the door.
"Squeak-"
The door was pushed open gently, creaking.
Xier stood at the door, her eyes seemed to hide sadness. After hesitating for a few seconds, she walked into Li Mo's bedroom.
She was wearing pajamas, but her little feet were bare, as white as jade, and she walked on the ground without making any sound.
Li Mo smiled naturally and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping so late? What do you want from me?"
"..." Xier pursed her lips, walked in front of Li Mo, her ears drooping, her head down looking at the ground, not daring to look Li Mo in the eye.
