Puzzles, phone calls, black-hatted women.

Gan Yu opened his eyes, and without a word of question, "Come up."

Chi Xiaochi climbed up the ladder, catlike, wearing a quilt. The bed shook and creaked slightly.

Yuan Benshan rolled over, but fortunately he was too sleepy to wake up.

Gan Yu leaned toward the outer guardrail, making way for the inner half of the bed, "Come inside."

Chi Xiaochi was stunned.

Gan Yu nodded his head slightly, his attitude was clear and unquestionable.

Chi Xiaochi, without delay, went inside as he was told, tucked in the blanket, and was about to lie down when Gan Yu stopped him with a gesture.

He flipped the pillow.

Chi Xiaochi watched in dismay as he took an unsheathed dagger from under his pillow, the hilt on his side, the blade on his own.

He hid the dagger under his covers, "Careful, I'll take it away, don't stab you."

Chi Xiaochi : "...... You woke up early?"

Gan Yu: "Uh-huh."

Chi Xiaochi: "When?"

Gan Yu : "'She' comes when she comes."

Chi Xiaochi flattened herself and tucked the covers upwards, "She's a ghost, what use is a dagger."

"If she called away from you, I would have followed." Gan Yu moderated, "If she wanted to harm you, her head would have been cut off by me by now."

Chi Xiaochi: "......" Big Brother, Big Brother.

He said, "No problem with daggers under the covers? Watch out for a roll over and cut yourself."

Gan Yu smiled, "Don't think about that. Go to sleep, I'll take care of everything."

The bed was a single one, about a meter wide, and it was a bit crowded for two men to sleep in, so they both lay on their sides, Chi Xiaochi facing the wall, Gan Yu facing Chi Xiaochi's back.

Chi Xiaochi lay down for a while, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Is that clownfish story still alive."

Gan Yu didn't say anything, took out his cell phone, yanked the headphone cord, and put an earphone on Chi Xiaochi.

Soon the slow, warm male voice was ringing in his ears again.

The clownfish meets the blue whale shark that took him from his home in the first place and asks him where, exactly, he was taken from.

The whale shark, which has circumnavigated the globe, is embarrassed to say that, sorry, it forgot.

To make amends, the whale shark accompanies the clownfish on its way.

The clownfish, happy to have a buddy, hides under the whale shark's fin and travels with him.

The male storyteller's voice is really pleasant, gurgling and clear, like the sound of a spring, so that people can not help but think about what kind of vocal cords are used to produce this kind of voice, and teach people to want to kiss the owner of the voice, breathe and share.

Chi Xiaochi is asleep.

Listening to the sound of even breathing that was close at hand, Gan Yu exercised extreme restraint in not embracing him, merely resting his head lightly against the position of his back and bracing his arms against the wall, mimicking an embracing position.

He whispered helplessly and warmly, "Usually so smart, how ...... do you really want to be angry with me before giving up."

Having been left alone by Chi Xiaochi for so long, 061 seriously reflected on his faults.

Before that, it was really him who had rushed things.

Chi Xiaochi has never felt safe since he was a child, even after he grew up and matured, he likes to keep everything and everyone within his control, and when something is out of his control and interferes with his reasoning, his first reaction is to stay away from the stop-loss.

The more he is driven, the more he is pushed, the tighter he will shrink and the farther he will hide.

061 Rushing to imply his identity backfired.

If Chi Xiaochi wanted security, he was willing to be clutched in the palm of Chi Xiaochi's hand and be part of his security.

He lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Ms. Lou. Good night."

Witnessed this Xi Lou: "......" dead rascal roll ah.

The next morning, Chi Xiaochi woke up in his bunk bed.

He lay awake for half a day, feeling particularly marvelous.

When did Gan Yu move himself down? How come he didn't feel a thing.

But there was an upside to this, as Yuan Benshan got up and washed up as usual, unaware that the top of his head was greenish-black.

At breakfast, Chi Xiaochi told the crowd what happened last night.

Yuan Benshan was shocked at this, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Chi Xiaochi said helplessly, pitifully and tenderly, "I don't dare to get out of bed or call you, for fear that she will suddenly return. ...... I haven't slept half the night yet."

Gan Yu, who really hasn't slept in the latter part of the night, keeps his head down and eats his noodles without saying a word.

Tian Guangbing asks, "Did you do anything special?"

Chi Xiaochi went over what she had done yesterday and replied, "No."

But looking at Tian Guangbing's eyes it was clear that he didn't believe it, "If not, why would she come to you?"

Gan Yu took over, "He did stay with us and did nothing."

Yuan Benshan frowned at him.

Tian Guangbing grunted, "I was at the playground yesterday, too, and saw him taking those three kids to a story. I remember at first, they were asking you to teach singing?"

Liu Chengyin, who was not there at the time, was surprised when he said, "You kicked them out?"

Chi Xiaochi innocently said, "No."

Xi Lou thought, "Is there any essential difference between singing like that and driving them away?

Liu Chengyin kindly reminded him, "Getting along well means doing whatever they tell us to do. Let's not do anything extra and just get through these three days safely."

Tian Guangbing disgruntledly said, "Yeah, it doesn't matter if you die alone, don't drag us down."

Chi Xiaochi said, "I just think that children can't be accommodated."

Yuan Benshan pushed his head down and said in a good-natured and amused voice, "Who asked you to raise it."

Gan Tang gently interjected, "The mechanism of this world is still unclear, so we don't need to rush to judgment if Xiaochi did the right thing or not. If you really want to obey them in everything, did Xiaochi have to follow that kid last night?"

This was a valid point, but Tian Guangbing still didn't agree with it, and just brushed it off, not responding.

The day continued to pass in an orderly fashion.

These kids are just like any other kids, just as leathery in nature and just as demanding.

Gan Yu and Gan Tang served as classroom teachers, one for language and one for English. While Gan Yu was teaching, a child suddenly started crying.

Gan Yu turned from the blackboard, "What's going on?"

Crocodile cried and pointed to the hairy kid in her back seat, "Teacher, he pulled my pigtails."

The brat smiled cheekily.

Gan Yu turned around and calmly called out the names, "Go stand in the back of the classroom for 10 minutes to reflect."

The hairy guy stopped laughing and glowered in his seat, "......"

A few temporary "teachers" gathered at the back of the classroom to observe: "......"

Gan Yu, realizing he wasn't moving, sidled halfway across his face, "Twenty minutes."

The brat scurried up and ran to the back of the classroom and stood obediently.

The classroom erupted in food and laughter, silenced by a few taps of Gan Yu's whip.

Tian Guangbing whispered, "He's crazy, isn't he?"

A few of the others were sweating too, except Chi Xiaochi, who was staring with his cheeks in the direction of the empty playground, wondering what he was looking at.

After class, Gan Yu distributes yogurt to the children, while the other three have left the classroom after the lesson, apparently not wanting to get into trouble.

After the distribution, he came to Chi Xiaochi with three packets of strawberry-flavored yogurt.

Yuan Benshan didn't have the heart to say, "You've got a lot of nerve."

Gan Yu smiled faintly, "If you really want to die, then it's better to do it together."

Chi Xiaochi took the yogurt and turned to Yuan Benshan: "Old Yuan, don't go along with them on everything."

Yuan Benshan: "Why?"

Chi Xiaochi said vaguely, "A feeling, I guess."

Last night, when Bo Bo's head had stood at the foot of his bed with her neck twisted, Chi Xiaochi had only felt surrounded by a heavy malice, but that malice had dissipated somewhat when he had found a valid reason to reject her.

If someone else had said "feeling", Yuan Benshan would have scoffed, but since Song Chunyang had said it, he could believe it.

During the afternoon activity time, they continued to do their jobs and all was peaceful, jigsaw puzzles for jigsaw puzzles, basketball for basketball, doll repair for doll repair, storytelling for storytelling, and dinner for dinner.

Chi Xiaochi counted and realized that everyone was still followed by the same people, as if they came from the factory.

After the three bears on his side surrounded him, they didn't mention teaching singing and said, "Teacher-teacher, teach us to call?"

The so-called "phone call", also known as "sound box", is the two beverage bottles cut from the bottom, leaving only the bottom, drilling holes in the bottom of the bottle, and then connect the two bottles with cotton thread, listening to the sound of sound transmission, but also children love to play with the stuff.

Chi Xiaochi calmly refused, "No."

At this refusal, all three children stopped speaking, and three pairs of dark eyes looked at him with a cold, zingy gaze.

Crocodile asked, "Why?"

Chi Xiaochi replied in all seriousness, "My mom doesn't let me leave my phone number with just anyone."

Golem: "......"

I didn't think that his move to hide from the world would really work.

The three looked at each other for a moment, and the brat said, "And what can the teacher teach us to do?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "Teacher will teach you standing long jump." Eco-friendly, healthy and green.

Bo Bo head swept away last night's monstrosity, twisted the corner of the coat, said in a weak voice: "Mr. Lou, I'm wearing a skirt."

Chi Xiaochi: "Then teach you to play shuttlecock."

The two girls agreed, but the brat shouted that he didn't want to play girlie games and ran off without a trace.

Chi Xiaochi really started to teach the two girls how to play shuttlecock, and she did it with style.

When Gan Yu glanced over from afar, Chi Xiaochi was playing shuttlecock crosswise under the envious gaze of the two girls, kicking a chicken-hair shuttlecock in a colorful manner.

He and Gan Tang simultaneously pursed their lips and laughed softly, not paying attention to the brat as he slipped all the way into the building and ran towards the cafeteria.

Liu Chengyin made simple instant noodles for those four gluttonous brats, put porridge on, and was picking vegetables when the brat popped his head in from outside: "Teacher, I want to play telephone."

Liu Chengyin lost his smile, "Good boy, the teacher is busy, you find a few other teachers to play with you, ah."

The brat insisted, "My teacher won't play with me! I must play!"

Liu Chengyin couldn't help him, so she looked around and found that there were empty plastic bottles left in the corner of the kitchen, so she said, "Then you can make the 'phone' by yourself first. When you are done, teacher will play with you, okay?"

The brat nodded excitedly, picked up the two bottles and cradled them in his arms, and began crafting quietly.

Activity room.

The silent spectacled young man, Qin Ling, was helping the children fill the puzzle pieces back into place piece by piece, while secretly lost in thought.

He couldn't help but wonder where the difficulty of the mission was in this world.

They had been working on this puzzle of about two hundred or so pieces since yesterday, and now it was basically complete, with only a few pieces missing, and they were able to complete it without his guidance.

The kids got into a pile and patched up the few remaining pieces in a heap.

He was lost in thought when suddenly a small hand tugged at the hem of his coat.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Qin Ling looked down, he realized that the frontal portrait was almost put together, but it was only missing a piece of the right eye part, and a one-eyed man was gazing at Qin Ling in silence, and he couldn't help but be jolted.

He was never good at dealing with children, but considering Liu Chengyin and Tian Guangbing's explanation, he softened his voice unnaturally, "Who hid the last piece of the puzzle, hand it over."

All the children in the room shook their heads in innocence.

Qin Ling uncovered the box containing the puzzle and carefully searched the neighborhood again, and indeed did not find the whereabouts of the missing puzzle piece.

One child was about to cry, "The puzzle is incomplete, what should we do, we can't finish it."

The other children comforted him, "It's okay, Mr. Qin will find a way."

After saying that, a pair of sincere and clear gazes were fixed on Qin Ling, making him a bit overwhelmed.

He reluctantly said, "Teacher ...... look again, look again."

Qin Ling searched with all his heart for some more time, and indeed found nothing.

He spread his hands rather headily, "Let's play with another puzzle, shall we?"

Instead, the children shook their heads in disapproval in unison.

At this time, a child's voice rang in the corner, milky voice, sounds innocent: "Teacher, you do not have eyes, your eyes lend us a little, okay ah."

Yuan Benshan, who was teaching the children how to play with dolls in another corner of the activity room, suddenly heard a piercing scream from behind that made his heart clench.

Turning around and taking a quick step forward, Yuan Benshan almost vomited.

A tuning fork thrust into Qin Ling's right eye, churning up blood and flesh, Qin Ling covered his eye and bowed over, curling up on the floor and howling miserably, as shredded flesh and smeared blood oozed out of his fingers in unison.

The children turned their backs to the doorway and filled in the blanks with a fragmented eye, laughing and clapping and cheering.

...... Something has finally happened.

Liu Chengyin rushed to the scene and cried out in fear, Tian Guangbing was also stupefied, Chi Xiaochi's eyes were mosaicked and he couldn't see anything, only Gan Yu stayed calm after witnessing everything, forcibly knocked out Qin Ling, who was so frightened that he went crazy, and carried him to the infirmary, where he treated his wounds with a simple bandage and alcohol.

It was only when the children had finished eating and gone for their baths that the party went to the infirmary.

Gan Yu steps out from behind the snow-white screen and removes his blood-tainted gloves.

Liu Chengyin, with reddened eyes, asked anxiously, "How is Qin Ling?"

...... is not very good.

His entire eye had been gouged out, and after taking alcohol to wash it, all that was left was a dark, empty hole.

Gan Yu didn't intentionally try to scare them, and tried to use a gentle tone to say, "There's no danger to their lives for now, but they still need to be observed."

Tian Guangbing is in shock: "What did he ...... he do?"

No one can answer. Even Yuan Benshan doesn't know what happened.

Liu Chengyin was in tears, "Qin Ling never takes the initiative to stir up trouble, we have told him many times to 'get along' with these ghosts ......"

"What exactly is the definition of 'getting along'? Is it a thousand obedience?" Yuan Benshan hesitated for a long time and spoke, "...... Was he gouged out of his eyes because he was too obedient?"

Liu Chengyin and Tian Guangbing were shaken, and the former quickly turned white, covering his mouth and almost vomiting.

Tian Guangbing, seeing his girlfriend's physical state is different, put his arm around her in pain: "Don't think too much. Let's go back and rest first."

Yuan Benshan pointed at Qin Ling on the bed, "Then who will stay to watch over him tonight?"

Chi Xiaochi raised her hand without waiting for the two Tian Liu to speak, "I'll do it. I'm a nursing student, it's easier to take care of him."

Gan Tang chimed in, "I'm staying too."

Yuan Benshan thought about it and thought it was okay.

...... As long as it's not Gan Yu staying down.

Yuan Benshan and Gan Yu went back first after a busy day.

A pale Liu Chengyin braced herself and stayed with Qin Ling for a while before being assisted out of the infirmary and heading upstairs.

Walking up to the front of her third floor dorm, she was creeped out to see the brat running towards her with gusto, holding an already made up sounding board in his hand.

He held the elaborate sounding board up, "Teacher, play with me."

Liu Chengyin Where else would she dare to listen to him, and said in horror, "Don't! Don't!"

She grabbed Tian Guangbing's hand and dove into the dormitory, locking the door behind her.

Hairy boy outside snapped and knocked on the door, the sound of children's voices tender and horrible: "Teacher, teacher, open the door ah, is not it said well, I do a good job of 'phone call', we will come to play ah."

Liu Chengyin covered himself in the covers and pretended not to hear.

The knocking continued for a while and then stopped.

Liu Chengyin breathed a huge sigh of relief, and Tian Guangbing's soft and comforting voice beside her at least made her tense nerves gradually relax.

However, a few seconds later, her cell phone, which she had pressed under her pillow, rang unexpectedly.

The caller ringtone sounded like it had been laced with some unusual current that went off pitch, and the sound sounded odd and ghastly.

The blood color that had just gathered on Liu Chengyin's face instantly faded.

There is no signal in the ...... mission world.

This call, who could it be?

Liu Chengyin was so afraid that his hands were shaking, he took out his cell phone and pressed the power button, trying to force the phone to shut down.

But the phone wouldn't even listen to her.

Almost frantic with fear, she slammed the phone against the bed rail one at a time.

The screen shattered into pieces, but the bell rang persistently.

She shivered and handed her cell phone to Tian Guangbing, who did not dare to take it, snatched the phone and threw it out of the window, holding her bawling girlfriend in his arms and coaxing her gently with fear on his face.

Not long after, however, light footsteps sounded in the staircase.

Da, da, da.

Joining the footsteps was the off-key cell phone ringtone.

The footsteps came to the door and tucked the cell phone gently through the doorway beyond.

Seeing this situation, Liu Chengyin was already close to collapse, and the fear developed to the end, gradually festering into unspeakable anger and short-lived courage.

She rolled around and picked up her cell phone, put it to her ear, and exclaimed, "...... Hello?!"

There was no talk on the other side of the phone.

Her heart was beating fast and her voice dropped an unconscious octave, "Hello? ......"

Steeply, a childishly angry cry came out from the door and the phone at the same time, "Teacher, why don't you answer my call!?"

Liu Chengyin can no longer hold back, let out a piercing scream, dropped the phone, quickly retreated to the bed by the window, a butt fell on it, just about to cry out, the corner of the eye swept the corner of the eye of something, a pair of almond eyes widened a little, once again screamed and retreated away from the window.

Tian Guangbing was also frightened by this successive situation, his hand holding Liu Chengyin trembled slightly as he stared at the darkness outside the window and said uneasily, "...... What's wrong? What did you see?"

Liu Chengyin cried, "There is a woman!"

"What woman?"

"A woman, the woman in the black hat, she was just in the yard!"

Tian Guangbing mustered up a lot of courage, stroked Liu Chengyin's shoulder as a sign of comfort, slowly moved to the window and looked down, but saw that the courtyard was empty, silent as death, where is the shadow of any woman?
