A familiar mechanical sound rang in his mind. Tang Tang was stunned, but he could not deny the peace that suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Tongbao?"

Tang Tang even thought she was hallucinating. She curled up in the worn-out quilt and called out softly in her mind again, "Tong Bao, did I hear it right?"

【Host! 】

There is also a touch of relaxation in the system sound.

[The system is bound to the host's soul, so the host has a permanent coordinate. As long as the host does not disappear, the system will always travel through time and space to find the host. ]

"I am so touched." Tang Tang raised her dirty little hands to wipe away the tears that had not yet flowed, and expressed her joy, "Tongbao, I feel so safe."

The system, which was originally worried about Tang Tang, suddenly became speechless when seeing her so pretentious attitude.

but……

The system was stunned for a moment when it saw the host turned into a child.

When it was bound to Tang Tang in its previous life, she had grown up. Although she was not a stunning beauty at first glance, she was also a quiet and elegant urban white-collar worker.

But now, facing Tang Tang's childhood, people can understand how difficult it was for Tang Tang to raise himself successfully and even get into a good school.

In the system's view, this thin, dark little girl who looked like a little monkey had almost nothing to do with her host.

Only those very big, very bright eyes seemed somewhat familiar.

The system sound became lower.

[Host, why were you so ugly when you were a child? ]

Tang Tang's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief, "Tongbao, you little mouth!"

Too thin

The system muttered,

[Why are you so dark and thin...eat something. ]

Then, a bag of fragrant meat floss bread fell into Tang Tang's arms. Tang Tang lowered her head, and with the moonlight outside, she could even see a shiny and tempting sausage in the middle of the bread in her arms.

Tang Tang was moved and decided to forget the bad things the system had just said to her.

She finished the bread in a few bites and breathed a sigh of relief when she felt her stomach was full.

"Tongbao," Tang Tang asked quietly while wiping his hands, "Can the system mall still be used normally?"

The system checked and confirmed,

【Host, everything is normal. 】

That works.

So Tang Tang slipped out of bed again, and this time she moved more quietly so as not to wake anyone, including Lin Yuebai.

……

"It's so dark."

In the yard of the orphanage, there is only a very dilapidated old street lamp, which was built when the orphanage was first built.

But later, when new roads were planned, these street lamps were abandoned and reinstalled, and only this old street lamp remained in the orphanage.

But the electricity bill for the street lights has to be paid from the orphanage's account, so in order to save money, the lights in the yard are never turned on at night.

Tang Tang groped his way out in the dark. In the dilapidated darkness, the little Tang Tang tried to look up, but he could see a white two-story building.

The small building seemed to be newly built. Although it was still not very luxurious, it was much better than where the children slept.

That's where the adults live, except for the director's grandmother.

But now, the director has passed away. The only person in the orphanage who was truly kind to the children has left. Every day since then has been hell for the children.

After his rebirth, Tang Tang did have the idea of ​​destroying the orphanage and taking revenge on these beasts, but at that time, the affairs of the orphanage had actually been exposed long ago.

This orphanage case that shocked the society also led to the arrest of countless people. Those children were properly resettled by the authorities, and Tang Tang had no intention of reopening their scars.

But it's different now.

Until now, Tang Tang still hasn't figured out why the gem heart that was linked to Gray would drag her to this orphanage again.

Could it be that Gray is also a child from the orphanage?

The thought flashed through Tang Tang's mind.

"Forget it," Tang Tang said, "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. Let's go and take a look. If those people tonight... also come, I will definitely go and interrupt them."

She slowly approached in the dark, but when she passed a bush, she seemed to hear a little sound.

Tang Tang stopped and looked over sharply.

In the dark night, the moonlight is actually very bright. In places where there are no buildings blocking the view, you can vaguely see an outline under the cold light.

She looked at the tall grass, which seemed to be hiding something.

So Tang Tang walked over carefully, swept away the tall grass, and then keenly smelled a faint smell of blood.

Wait, the smell of blood?

Tang Tang was startled and not paying attention to his footing, he stepped on a wooden stick with a crack.

As the sound rang out, Tang Tang saw a thin child suddenly stand up from the bushes. Xiao Hei didn't even look at her, he just jumped up and ran away.

The child ran very fast, turning left and right, and disappeared in the darkness in a few seconds.

Tang Tang did not rush to chase after him. After all, running makes a lot of noise, and it would be troublesome if he was discovered.

So Tang Tang simply bent down and picked up the wooden stick on the ground, then used the stick to push aside the grass and walked to the place where the mysterious child had just hidden.

The closer Tang Tang got, the more he could smell blood.

She frowned and went to where the smell of blood was strongest.

The stick pushed aside the grass, and Tang Tang looked down and saw two dead rats with their stomachs ripped open in the grass.

These two mice were very fat, their heads were smashed to pieces by stones, and their stomachs were cut open, probably by cutting, so the flesh on the wounds was very finely chopped.

However, what Tang Tang found most unbelievable was that the two mice clearly had signs of being bitten, with part of their meat eaten, leaving only some skin and internal organs.

There was a pool of black blood on the ground, with a slight stench.

Tang Tang looked at the two dead mice on the ground and said with a shudder, "That kid...was he eating these two mice just now?"

Tang Tang was in a trance.

How is that possible? Life in the orphanage was not easy, but it was not to the point where they could not afford food and the children starved to death.

A few coarse flour buns can make you full.

How could a child be so hungry that he would eat a dead mouse here in the middle of the night?

Who was that child? Why had she never seen this child in her past life?

Is this child one of the orphans in the orphanage she knows?

Countless thoughts flooded into Tang Tang's brain, and she was stunned for a moment.

【Host】,

The system interrupted Tang Tang in time.

[The space here...is affected by personal emotions, which will affect the host.]

Tang Tang came back to his senses.

She was not stupid, and at this moment she came up with an idea, "Could that child just now be related to Gray?"

[Regardless of whether it is related or not], the system said, [This is a good opportunity to explore the truth. ]

"You're right," Tang Tang sighed, "It's really a wonderful experience."
