Then she frowned, moved closer to Xuan Li, and looked him up and down.

"Xuan Li, why do I feel like you've become a different person... You seem a little strange all of a sudden..."

Xuan Li laughed twice when he heard this and said

"Haha, I didn't expect Nicole to be so sensitive. It's a shame not to use your talent to earn Dinny."

"Help people solve their problems, be a psychological counselor or something."

Nicole smiled slyly at this.

"Hey, this is the limitation of your thinking, Xuanli."

"Who told you that Cunning Rabbit House no longer has this kind of business?"

"The Wanshiwu Wanshiwu, since it's a Wanshiwu, then the scope of business of the Cunning Rabbit House is naturally very wide."

Nicole stood up, put her hands on her hips, looked at Xuan and said

"How about it? Do you want to place an order?"

"20% off for acquaintances!"

Listening to Nicole's words, Xuan Li couldn't help but laugh.

"Nicole, logically speaking, it should be free, right? You only gave me a discount, and only 20% off..."

"Oh, Master Xuanli is very magnanimous. How could he care about such a small matter, right..."

Nicole used the "flattery" method on Xuan Li again.

"Nicole, I don't buy this..."

"Well, you won't actually place an order, so it doesn't matter whether you eat this or not. Do you think I'm right..."

In Nicole's opinion, Xuanli definitely doesn't need any psychological counseling given his condition, and even if he does, it's not something she can do.

She was aware of her own "strength" and had only half-truths and half-falsehoods to get through those commissions related to the Cunning Rabbit House...

Hearing this, Xuan Li was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"How can you be sure that I won't order? You're too confident, Nicole..."

"Haha, of course, I'm Nicole..."

Hearing Xuan Li's teasing, Nicole was not humble at all. Instead, she laughed twice as easily as he did.

After chatting for a while, Nicole enthusiastically talked about her embarrassing childhood experiences, which were both pitiful and funny.

Obviously, after spending some time together, Nicole understood Xuan Li's thoughts and became less shy about talking about the past, as if she was just talking about things that had nothing to do with the person.

Perhaps, it was because the person opposite her was Xuan Li that she acted like this.

Xuan Li listened quietly beside her, and occasionally agreed with her, as a way of "comforting" the little girl who had once been running in this yard.

He looked calm, with a gentle smile on his face, which made him look more elegant under the starlight.

My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror.

This is what he wants to do, and perhaps after visiting the orphanage, he will go one step further.

Thinking about these times, Xuan Li had already made a decision about Nicole's purpose of bringing him to the orphanage.

The night wind has not stopped, and the branches of the dead tree are still swaying, as if interacting with the world. It seems that it has not been born, and yet it seems that it has not died.

The night is as dark as ink, but there is moonlight and starlight shining down.

Amidst the suffering in this world, there are flickering lights and candles.

Just as Nicole finished her words and Xuan Li was about to talk to her about serious matters, a wave of movement came from afar.

Xuan Li couldn't help but look up.

A ray of expanding black light was extremely dazzling.

That is——a hole!!!

"Meow--"

The little black cat who was originally resting was also overwhelmed by the sense of crisis. It looked at the expanding "black hole" in the distance with horror. The other cats were also startled one after another. This was due to the cats' perception of danger.

"Nicole, take the children away quickly, they don't have..."

Before Xuan Li finished speaking, he saw that the cavity had expanded to the front, so close that it looked like a black wall towering into the clouds.

"Oh no, it's too late!"

call------

……

Inside the Lamia Cave.

“Meow—meow—meow—meow—”

In the yard, the little black cat was comforting the cats that were in a mess. Xuan Li looked solemn, feeling the increasingly dense ether energy around him, and his eyes darkened.

"Xuan Li, what's going on?"

The incident happened suddenly and Nicole had not yet recovered from her shock. She subconsciously looked at Xuan Li and asked.

"It's clear that a cavity disaster has occurred."

"Let's move the children away first!"

Xuan Li walked towards the room in the orphanage. His voice fell into Nicole's ears. She seemed to have found her backbone and nodded quickly to follow him.

"The expansion rate of this cavity is too abnormal. It's unlikely to be a concomitant cavity explosion. It should be a secondary explosion of an existing cavity. And this is definitely not a simple matter!"

Xuan Li woke up the children and analyzed the current situation. When he thought of something, he turned around and asked Nicole:

"Nicole, you're familiar with this place. Has this area ever been hit by a cavity disaster?"

The orphanage is almost out of the Janus area. Xuan Li has very little knowledge of this place, but Nicole, as a local here, should know more.

"Yes, there was a cavity disaster two years ago called the Lamia Cavity, but it was suppressed. The cavity didn't cover a large area, and the damage and benefits were not high, so not many people paid attention to it."

Nicole naturally did not hide anything in response to Xuan Li's question and quickly answered.

"Lamia Hollow?"

A hint of thought flashed in Xuan Li's eyes. He took the last two children out of the house and came to the yard of the orphanage.

Xiaoying was comforting the children. Although she was a little scared herself, the children were there, so she naturally couldn't show her weak side.

However, her consolation had little effect. The gloomy environment brought psychological pressure, and the ether erosion brought physical pressure. How could these children withstand the double pressure?

Peschi was relatively calm standing among them, but she was only a minority after all, and the crying and noise were endless.

Seeing this, Xuan Li turned to look at the children and said in a steady voice:

"Don't be afraid, just be obedient and trust us, we will get you away safely."

His words gave people an inexplicable sense of peace, and the noise in the yard gradually died down.

A faint roar came into his ears. Xuan Li's expression remained unchanged. He just moved his fingers, and a white light bloomed in the distance and quickly dissipated.

Yi Hai... so fast...

"Xuan Li, did you just take action?"

Nicole looked worried. Unlike the others, she could naturally feel the strange ether fluctuations just now.

"Don't worry, they're just some bugs."

Xuan Li shook his head and continued

"Nicole, take the children with you on the bus. Without any supplies taking up space, we should be able to squeeze in and take everyone aboard."
