On a summer afternoon, the sun is shining brightly, and the sound of cicadas can be heard endlessly.
Lin Siyuan carried a fruit basket into a single ward on the fifth floor of the city hospital.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was sitting on the hospital bed, facing the window, the black dress on her body seemed to be hanging on her thin body.
"Yinyin." He knocked on the open ward door.
The girl came back to her senses, turned her head to look at him, and whispered, "Uncle Lin."
Her face was almost thin, with a pointed chin, and the pair of dark eyes on her small face were astonishingly large.
Lin Siyuan sighed in his heart. He watched the child grow up, and he had never seen her look so haggard.
"I'll pick you up and leave the hospital, go to... Qishan... the cemetery..." He knew that these words hurt people, but he couldn't help but say it. The ten members of the Shen family were killed to the point where only Shen Yin, the only seedling, was left. At the slightest clue, all traces in the house were erased, and the footprints on the mountain road were washed away by the heavy rain.
I made a profile based on Shen Yin's description, but it was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
When she heard that she was going to Qishan Cemetery, Shen Yin knew why.
Today is the day her family is buried.
She... has no family anymore.
Big tears rolled down, and I couldn't stop them.
Lin Siyuan didn't comfort her, he knew she needed to vent.
Since he saw her, she has been very calm, neither crying nor fussing, as if nothing happened, like a soulless doll.
He knew that she kept everything in her heart, and it would be a good thing to cry now.
Coming down from the Qishan cemetery, after hesitating again and again, Lin Siyuan put forward his idea.
He wanted to adopt Shen Yin.
Lin Siyuan is 37 years old, his parents died early, and he has no children. His wife divorced him ten years ago, and now he lives alone in the dormitory of his unit.
If Shen Yin is adopted, he will use his savings over the years to buy a small house in the city for her to live in, and it will be convenient for her to go to No. [-] Middle School.
"Would you like it? I...I definitely treat you as my own daughter, no, I have treated you as my own daughter all these years..." Lin Siyuan spoke incoherently, and the steering wheel in his hand tightened tightly.
To be honest, he was not that nervous when he proposed to his ex-wife.
The girl sitting in the back seat lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face clearly, through the rearview mirror, Lin Siyuan could only see her pale chin.
The scene outside the window flew by quickly, and the time passed by. After an unknown amount of time, she finally spoke softly.
"Okay, thank you, Papa Lin."
Shen Yin has no choice.
Lin Siyuan treated her very well, and he was also her father's best friend. Apart from her parents and family, he was the one with whom she had the best relationship in the short 15 years.
Her self-defense technique also came from him, otherwise she would not have the ability to kill No. 328.
Thinking of No. 328, her stomach churned, and she always dreamed of him dying these two days, which made her miserable.
She couldn't help touching her chest, feeling the cross hanging inside through the thin fabric.
Unexpectedly, the cross followed her back to reality.
With this cross, she has a sense of reality that the matter has passed.
Hearing that Shen Yin agreed to his proposal, Lin Siyuan's lips could not be restrained from curling up.
He has always wanted a daughter, but because he was injured on a certain mission, he lost his fertility. In order not to delay his wife, the two divorced.
Now, his life is complete, and the haze caused by his friend's death has faded a bit.
He secretly swore to his friends in his heart that he would take good care of their daughter and never give up on tracking down the murderer.
While waiting for the traffic light, he sent a text message to the real estate agent, ordering the house he had fancy two days ago.
The house is located two streets next to Shi No. [-] Middle School, which is convenient for Shen Yin to go to school, and it is about half an hour's drive away from his unit.
Although it is a school district room, the price is not too high because the landlord is rushing to go abroad. He only needs to borrow a little from his colleagues.
"What would Yinyin want to eat? How about the seafood?" After sending the text message, he stepped on the accelerator and the car started to drive. He asked pretendingly relaxed.
Shen Yin lay on the window, letting the wind mess her long hair.
"Yes, listen to Papa Lin." She turned her head to look at Lin Siyuan, and imitated his tone of answer.
She understood that they were all eager to make their future life less depressing.
The two went to the seafood buffet together, and Lin Siyuan sent Shen Yin to the hotel. Even if the case came to an end, he would not dare to let her, a little girl, live so far away on the mountain.
After Lin Siyuan left, Shen Yin clicked on the bank app on her phone.
Looking at the balance displayed in the APP, she lowered her eyelids, 150966 yuan.
Dad should have a hunch, so he transferred all the money in the family to her card.
Shen Wenjun is a well-known Fengshui master, many people come to him for fortune-telling and Fengshui, and the rewards are generous, but every time he receives money, he only keeps a little for family expenses, and the rest is used for good deeds. The money should be saved by my mother who opened an online shop and sold embroidery in the past two years.
She clicked on Lin Siyuan's V letter, and transferred 150000.
During the meal, Lin Siyuan told her that he would buy a two-bedroom house for her to live in outside No. [-] Middle School, and write her name on it.
She is very aware of his financial situation, he is as kind as his father, and often helps some widowed and lonely elderly people, and he can't save much money at all.
"I hope the house can be written with the names of me and Papa Lin, otherwise I won't be able to feel at ease when I live in it." She typed this sentence word by word, and clicked send.
"The other party is typing..." was displayed on the screen, but no message came back.
Five minutes later, she received a message from Lin Siyuan, which was only a few short words.
"Got it! Dad listens to you!"
After washing up briefly, Shen Yin opened her schoolbag and took out the "Encyclopedia of Talismans and Talismans" obtained from the game.
She remembered correctly, this is indeed the same fragmented scroll she had seen in her father's study room, except that there were only twelve talismans in that fragmented scroll, and the Shashafu Talisman she used in the amusement park came from it, and this There are seven to seven 49 passages in this book, which gather all kinds of talismans, which is completely worthy of its name.
She took out another stack of yellow paper and a cinnabar brush, and began to study the remaining 37 questions.
The next game doesn't know what kind of scene it will be, what kind of danger it will encounter, and there are only ten days left before August 8rd. She must let herself have the ability to protect herself.
Busy time always flies by so fast.
At 8:23 on August 22rd, Shen Yin packed everything up and lay down on her little bed.
She had already moved to this house for a week, and the environment here was good. Under Lin Siyuan's insistence, she moved into the master bedroom with the best lighting.
At 23 o'clock, the mechanical pitch sounded.
"Player 730 is welcome to enter the game, you have 5 minutes to purchase initial items."
