Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Ding-ling-ling——" the class bell rang, and the teacher walked in from outside the door, looking at Xier in the corner with pitiful eyes.

My hair is still wet and a little sticky.

The drink poured over her head, and even though Xier went to the bathroom and washed it again and again with ice-cold water, it still couldn't be washed clean.

"Last class, I told the students in the second-to-last row to stand up and recite. Now let's start from the first one."

The student in the second to last row near the door stood up first and skillfully recited the content that was required to be recited in the previous class.

Then came the second one, the third one...

The students stood up one after another to recite. Some of them would be in a daze and then be criticized by the teacher and sit down, while others would open their mouths and recite very quickly, receiving applause from their classmates.

Xier sat in the second to last row by the window. After her deskmate finished reciting, it was her turn to sit down.

In order to avoid being looked at with strange eyes, Xier works hard to do the best she can.

Therefore, she recited the content that the teacher asked her to recite countless times in her spare time and had already memorized it by heart.

Xier was about to stand up and recite when the teacher said, "Okay, class will begin now. Please turn to page five."

Instantly, most of the students in the class turned their heads and cast strange looks at Xier.

The sound of turning pages did not come yet.

The teacher wanted to avoid embarrassing Xier, but she never thought that for a student, the unfamiliar and cold gazes of classmates are the most frightening thing...

Xier just wants to escape from this world as soon as possible...

When it was lunchtime, Xier went to the cafeteria, but Li Mo didn't add much money to her meal card.

Xier could only order a bowl of white rice and then kept getting the miso soup provided free of charge in the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was like an execution ground, with every incandescent light focused on her.

The students at the table had their plates filled with a variety of food, including fresh fruits and vegetables, and juicy meat.

Only Xier's rice plate had a bowl of white rice.

Miso soup is no longer just for satisfying the taste buds. For Xier, miso soup is used to fill her stomach.

Every time I stand up to make a bowl of miso soup, I get strange looks from people around me.

Every minute and every second, the suspicious eyes of others were like will-o'-the-wisp fires. Xier seemed to have turned into a princess burned by flames in a fairy tale, living in pain and suffering again and again.

Finally, Xier waited until school was over.

After packing up her books and carrying her schoolbag, Xier walked to the school gate alone and stayed there for a long time.

Those thugs only did one thing every day, as if it was deliberately arranged by someone - pouring drinks over her head in front of everyone's gaze.

Xier bit her lip and walked out of the campus enduring great humiliation.

As expected, the cold drink slid down from above her head. Xier closed her eyes and walked quickly forward with a helpless expression.

Passersby were talking about it, but no one offered a helping hand.

until--

"Brother Li Mo! We are back!" Xing shouted loudly.

Li Mo, sitting in a wheelchair, smiled, a bright and warm light shining on his face. He said to the children who had returned home in a gentle voice:

"Welcome home, Xing, Bronya..."

Li Mo read out each person's name in turn. In order not to be noticed, Xier tried hard to smile and respond to Li Mo's expectations.

Finally, Li Mo looked at Xier with bright eyes and tenderness.

"Xi'er, welcome home."

Chapter 52 Nowhere to Escape (6k)

"Hmm!" Xier subconsciously touched her hair, and it was not wet.

She has left that world...

In that world, she was alone.

Only by returning to the house and seeing the gentle Li Moqi can she escape the tragic fate and unfair treatment.

All the humiliation I had suffered seemed to disappear, as if it had never happened.

In the eyes of her companions in this world, all her behaviors are normal, but from Xier's own perspective, all she has and can feel is endless malice and discrimination.

"I'm sorry..." Xier murmured softly with her head down.

The sound was so faint that even Bronya, who was standing next to him, couldn't hear it clearly.

"Xi'er, what are you talking about?"

Li Mo maneuvered the wheelchair to Xier's side, reached out and touched Xier's little head, "What are you talking about? Speak louder so that others can hear you. If you don't want others to know, you can keep it in your heart."

Xier was stunned for a moment and nodded silently.

"I think Xi'er might be more suitable for this fairy tale book."

Li Mo took out the first fairy tale book signed by Xier Fuleai and put it in Xier's hand.

A strange feeling...

Li Mo repeatedly confirmed that Xier's hair was dry and smooth, but why did his fingertips feel vaguely sticky?

I took my hand back and rubbed my fingers together, but the sticky and wet feeling disappeared.

"Thank you, brother." Xier hugged the fairy tale book and said after hesitating for a moment, "I want to take a bath first..."

"Go ahead. You don't need my consent for this."

After getting Li Mo's approval, Xier quickly went upstairs, walked into her room, and threw her schoolbag aside.

He opened the wardrobe and took out the thick clothes that Li Mo had bought.

very nice……

In another world, she was wearing thin clothes, shivering in the cold winter, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

Li Mo in that world did not buy her any extra jackets or overcoats.

Li Mo in this world was very gentle and kind to her, and even bought her a lot of warm clothes.

but……

"If I leave this home, all the warmth will disappear..."

Xier squatted on the ground with grievance, burying her head in her thick coat, feeling the warmth and softness that was hard-earned but would soon disappear.

But if she doesn't do this, everyone will be killed by her.

If she killed everyone in the orphanage, how would her gentle brother view her? Would he still treat her as well as he does now?

Only hatred...

He laughed and cried as he grabbed her neck, veins popping out of his arms as he screamed in a hideous voice, "The children are all dead! The children are all dead!"

Then he tried various ways to kill her to end the tragedy, but tragedy is tragedy, and once it happened, it is irreversible.

Just like so many times before.

"Keep going Xi'er... There are still six years left. Just endure for another six years... We can all survive, and my brother can survive too..."

The fairy tale told in the book is a prophecy that will surely come true.

Downstairs, the other children were doing their usual thing, some were cooking, some were studying in their rooms.

Li Mo pulled Bronya to his side and asked, "Ban Ya, how is Xi'er doing in school? You are in the same class with her, so you should know what Xi'er is going through in school, right?"

Bronya showed an unhappy expression and pouted. For some reason, she always felt an inexplicable anger when she heard this title.

"Bronya has a name. Bronya is called Bronya."

"Okay, Bronya, so how is Seele doing in school? Is she happy? Is anyone bullying her?" Li Mo didn't want to waste too much time joking with Bronya, so he followed her wishes, touched the duck's head, and pretended to be casual.

Bronya stood there motionless, seemingly thinking.

About half a minute later, Bronya said confidently, "With Bronya here, no one in school dares to bully Seele!"

Li Mo sighed helplessly and shook his head. "I mean, Xier's performance in class, and what happened when we had lunch together."

"Emm... Bronya thought of it. The teacher likes Seele very much. She always likes to call Seele's name in class and ask her to answer questions. Bronya's Seele is very smart! She can answer every question, and the classmates will applaud her many times throughout the day."

"And eating. Bronya feeds Seele the delicious food in her bowl. Seele will be very happy and eat her fill."

"On the way home from school, Bronya held Seele's hand. Seele's hand was small and soft, and it felt so comfortable to hold..."

As she spoke, Bronya raised her neck like a swan, revealing a very proud expression.

Li Mo was stunned. Was Ban Ya showing off to him?

What's so good about this... Shit! Even rabbits eat grass near their burrows, and I don't eat it!

Calming down, Li Mo analyzed Bronya's answer word by word, glancing at Bronya out of the corner of his eye.

Bronya wouldn't lie, there's no need.

Seeing this smug little expression, Li Mo's remaining doubts disappeared. He was 100% not lying.

But if what Bronya said was true, then why would Seele use a fake smile to disguise her true feelings?

Judging from the brief time we spent together last night, Xier was clearly very lonely and bored.

With Bronya and other children by my side, school life is also wonderful, and I can fully feel my own value in school.

A child with a well-off life would not come to him for help in the middle of the night because he can't sleep.

Li Mo tried hard to recall how he had wronged Xier, but after thinking about it, he found that he had done everything he could, except praising Xier to the sky.

Li Mo thought it was impossible to say sorry.

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Li Mo grabbed Bronya who was about to leave.

Bronya said confidently and naturally, "Seele hasn't finished washing yet. Bronya can go in and wash with Seele."

Li Mo let go of his hand, understanding what he meant.

"Go ahead, and remember to help Xier wash herself clean."

"Bronya will."

Li Mo let Bronya go and returned to his room on the fifth floor alone.

He needs to organize the clues he has collected in the past few days.

"I couldn't help myself during the day and went to the fourth floor."

“But I didn’t notice anything wrong.”

He didn't dare turn on the lights because the pictures on the fourth floor were very strange. Li Mo was afraid that turning on the lights would attract the ghosts inside.

In the dim light, Li Mo took the first fairy tale book and left quickly.

The first fairy tale book was still covered in dust, but Li Mo noticed fingerprints, which must have been from when he had wiped away the dust in some areas the last time he had used the book.

So, the fourth floor is constantly restarting, but the fairy tale book is not.

Or maybe it has not met certain conditions, and only when the conditions are met and the triggering rules are met can it return to a fixed state like the floor on the fourth floor.

"Is it a ritual? It remains unchanged until someone completes the ritual."

Li Mo revealed the essence of this phenomenon.

Before the ceremony ends, the strange phenomenon will only repeat itself again and again, returning to a certain initial distortion point.

This is the case with the ghost marriage in Taixu Mountain.

"Isn't the ceremony on the fourth floor the soul-crossing ceremony? But the fourth floor hasn't become a soul-crossing passage yet. It's very likely that there's no ceremony on the fourth floor. The ceremony belongs to the entire haunted house."

"But I really don't know what the ritual is. It's very puzzling."

"The only clue is the time point in the dark fairy tale when the princess completely turns into a witch, which is her eighteenth birthday."

"But it seems that when she approaches eighteen, the princess will constantly transform into a witch at night and kill anyone who meets the pattern."

Li Mo pressed his temples, wondering whether Xier was a princess. If so.

So how should we deal with this to avoid the tragedy in the story?
