Chapter 455 There's a Ghost

[Evolution Points +12]

It is just a nanny robot responsible for raising children, but it can give evolution points to the 25th level of Dream Spirit.

What's even more interesting is that You Huan's spiritual power became stronger after the battle.

It's the same as when Pacific Rim killed off the cluster life.

As his strength increased, he began to roughly understand the principle.

The thinking of collective life is also composed of a collection of tiny parts, and it is inherently "altruistic".

When his spiritual power crushes their spirits, at least some of the broken spiritual fragments will voluntarily become part of him.

This will enhance spiritual strength.

Moreover, the spirit of collective life is more delicate and tougher than that of ordinary life. It can polish stone like sandpaper, making its spiritual power more solid.

The fusion of spiritual fragments occurs during this polishing.

For collective life, whether part of the "self" belongs to the original self or to others, it is just an exchange from one self to another.

Different lives interpret the world from different perspectives.

For the residents of Fenyu, the world is "truth", and for the instinct of collective life, the world may be "self".

The increase in data awareness of killing babysitters is just a drop in the bucket compared to the whole.

...but the weird thing is that it provides enhancements.

Does this mean that the babysitters also correspond to a collective consciousness?

A certain conjecture in his mind gradually became clear.

He turned his attention back to the biggest gain - the data on the babysitters.

Although a nanny's duties are limited, the data he obtains basically revolves around how to take care of children.

But the algorithm used to program it is pretty clever!

He is currently trying his best to digest these algorithm frameworks, and his whole body is undergoing a new software upgrade due to the absorption of new methods.

While upgrading, he looked around the cafeteria with the vision of a nanny.

He noticed that the group of older children were whispering something, and the content seemed to be related to his own body.

"Just now, that No. 5 demon's eyes suddenly glowed, but there was nothing where he looked. I said there was a ghost here!"

"What the hell, Brother Ming, are you using ancient magic tricks to mess with your brain? Ouch!"

Qu Tongming knocked the person who was speaking hard: "Hasn't there been a rumor about seeing ghosts on the Internet recently? And it seems that something went wrong in the game too. Maybe there really is a ghost!"

"The ghost might just be a new virtual image created by someone..."

"I really felt a sudden chill at the door just now—"

Qu Tongming wanted to use his own experience to refute others, but he saw that everyone sitting opposite him suddenly shut up.

"You, saw, the ghost?"

A stiff voice sounded from behind him.

His body stiffened, then he turned his head suddenly and saw the "Devil No. 5" he mentioned - the red skirt nanny No. 5 standing behind him.

On that stiff face that didn't look like a human's, the pair of electronic eyes glowed faintly, staring at him closely.

"..." He felt a little creepy, touched the goose bumps on his hands, and then stiffened his neck and said, "What does it have to do with you? Your mission doesn't include snooping into our gossip, right?!"

You Huan stared at the 15-year-old young man quietly.

This person is quite perceptive. He can vaguely sense the Data Dragon. He must have good innate mental power.

After looking at this group of older children for a while, he saw the expressions on their faces gradually stiffen.

The rejection of babysitters is about to turn into a physical overflow.

Indeed, the nanny has a look that would be perfect for a horror movie.

Only when they were almost unable to hold back did he nod stiffly, turn around and leave.

After he left, Qu Rui whispered, "Why, why do I feel that No. 5's behavior is strange? Aren't they all acting according to the program? Why would they specifically ask us about ghosts..."

The older children felt a slight chill down their spines when they heard this, and couldn't help but think of the ghost rumors on the Internet.

After a while, Qu Tongming snorted, "Don't worry about it! It's just a machine. Even if it is really related to ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Can a ghost defeat the street's automatic alarms? Can it defeat a laser gun?"

The others nodded.

Although they felt a chill on their backs just now, they were not actually afraid.

They are at an age where they are fearless, so how could they be frightened by vague rumors?

But -

"Uh, laser gun...?" Qu Rui asked in a low voice.

Qu Tongming grinned: "Let's gather at the same place and time tonight, go and get some good stuff!"

——"…Why is that number five here?!"

It was the middle of the night, the sky was pitch black, and the lights outside the orphanage cast a faint glow on Qu Tongming's face.

He hid in the garden with others, looking with a slightly distorted expression at the figures walking stiffly on the outdoor corridor in front of them.

That was the red-dressed nurse number five who had been behaving a little strangely at noon.

It seemed that the direction it was heading was exactly where the group of older children were originally going - the waste warehouse of the orphanage.

When Qu Tongming sneaked in before, he accidentally found a broken gun inside.

So he tried to steal it and fix it.

That's a powerful laser gun! Without millions of light coins, the average middle-class resident wouldn't be able to buy one in his lifetime.

After a while, the bright red figure of No. 5 disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Qu Tongming watched the sound of it passing silently like a ghost, and felt no fear, only irritation.

After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to the warehouse as planned! Maybe No. 5 is not going there."

A few minutes later, several older children tiptoed towards the waste warehouse located in the farthest corner of the backyard of the entire orphanage.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Looking around, they didn't see No. 5.

"See, that thing is not targeting the warehouse." Qu Tongming said, took out the physical key stolen from a nanny, and opened the rusty door lock of the warehouse -

As soon as he opened the door, he met a pair of eyes that glowed with an eerie red light.

"ah!"

The sudden fright almost caused his heart to stop, and his breathing subconsciously stopped.

The companions behind him also shuddered.

They all looked up and saw a stiff figure in a standard red dress standing in the warehouse.

It stood near the door, as if deliberately waiting for them to open it.

A pair of electronic eyes in the eye sockets emitted a dazzling red light, making the wooden sculpture-like face look blood red.

It's number five!

But why is it here? As the red skirt in charge of the cafeteria, its duties don't include the waste warehouse at all!

——It's possessed.

A thought flashed through the children's minds.

All the strange behaviors of Number Five today flashed through his mind one by one.

Looking into the air, asking abrupt questions, and taking actions at night...

Under the artificial darkness created by the sky, the neon lights from faraway places could not illuminate this place.

Only the bright red pupils of Number Five flickered with a faint light, like blood flowing and climbing up onto their bodies.

In the silence, a chill suddenly rose in my heart.

The children who said they were not afraid during the day, faced with this strange scene, couldn't help but feel a strong fear in their hearts.

They felt that this strange nanny would kill them in the next moment.

Or worse, it will slowly tease them, gradually driving them to collapse…

You Huan looked at the stiff expressions of these children, then stretched out his hand——

Slowly but firmly he closed the warehouse door again.

After locking these naughty kids outside the warehouse, he picked up a slightly worn electronic screen in his hand and continued to receive data.

Based on the nanny's limited data memory, he learned that this abandoned warehouse contained many records of the nursery.

Although the records were marked as obsolete, they were moved from the nursery's database to the old device to avoid taking up memory.

But he found something intriguing in these old records.

——It doesn't match. The children in the orphanage don't match the pregnant women in this city.

After a woman becomes pregnant, the baby in her belly will be quickly taken out and continue to grow in a unified incubator.

These are where normal children come from.

But he found that some children were labeled "destroyed" or "lost" halfway through and disappeared.

It seemed to have either died young or been stolen.

Even in this orphanage, there were records of babies going missing just a few years ago.

And a larger proportion of children cannot be matched with pregnant women at all.

It's like... they were "taken" from somewhere else.

As for this "other place", he also made some discoveries.

His gaze turned to the depths of the warehouse.

There should be a passage from the middle level to the upper level.
