The orphanage Gamma Ceti lived in was an old private orphanage. Its history could be traced back to the last century.

It was well known that anything could happen in a building over time. Therefore, it was not surprising that some strange legends were spread among the children.

Whenever it was a weekend night, it was the time for the naughty children to chat at night.

Today, Gamma Ceti was lying on the bed with an empty straw in her mouth. She crossed her legs and swayed on the bed. There were several books next to her pillow. She was also reading a book on the bed. The title of the book was "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".

This was a book that seemed to be about physics and seemed to contain important principles of calculus. However, it was actually about mechanics, which had a significant impact on the history of human mechanics. The author of this book was the famous Newton.

Although Newton had been slapped in the face since the emergence of his "personality", Brainiac Shi still thought that this kind of book could be read as a bedtime story …

The girl with two ponytails lying on her bed asked her curiously, "Shun Shun, why are you biting that straw?"

"Because there's no candy, Riho." Gamma Ceti answered without looking up.

The girl named Riho tilted her head and thought for a moment. She ran to her bedside table and rummaged for a while. Then she came back very depressed, "Shun Shun!

The candy I hid there is gone.

I wanted to give you some … "

"It's okay."

Gamma Ceti finally looked up and comforted her with a gentle expression, "Because I ate your candy."

Riho was speechless.

What kind of comfort was this?

I'd rather you didn't tell the truth!

"When did this happen?" she said in horror.

Gamma Ceti blinked innocently, "Just this morning. I asked you to get up and go to school, but you refused to get up.

So I said, 'If you don't get up, I'll eat the candy you hid.' Then you turned over and said, 'Eat whatever you want.' So I went to make it. "

After this reminder, Riho did remember that she had such a conversation this morning. She wanted to cry but had no tears. "I was just talking in my sleep!

And can't you leave some for me? "

Gamma Ceti suddenly laughed coldly: "Impossible, the candy that fell into my hands, there is no reason for me to take it out and give it to others."

"But that's clearly my candy!"

"Ah ah, don't be angry, Riho. I'll tutor you later.

I guarantee you will get high marks at the end of this year's semester. "

Riho cheered up a little when her straight-A student friend gave her an irresistible comfort.

Just as the two girls were whispering to each other, Sophora Japonica, who was the oldest in their dormitory, came over to inform them that there was going to be a night meeting.

"Today, we're going to talk about the ghost stories of Aomori Welfare Institute!"

Sophora Japonica said mysteriously. Apparently, she had the Third Eye since she was young and could see things that others could not.

Riho was so scared that she hid behind Gamma Ceti's bed. This child was very timid. When she heard that the theme of the night was this, she shook her head vehemently. "No, I'm not going to participate in tonight's meeting!"

"Really?"

Sophora Japonica said disappointedly. Then she turned her expectant gaze to Gamma Ceti who was reading peacefully. "Do you want to join us?"

"I'll pass this time, but I'll definitely join next time." Gamma Ceti waved the book in her hand. "I want to finish this chapter before the teacher switches off the lights."

Sophora Japonica saw the title and author written on the cover and suddenly felt that some straight-A students were as scary as tonight's ghost story topic.

"Okay, then I'll go to the wall with Xiao Yue and the rest to tell the story."

Gamma Ceti's dormitory had a total of ten beds, but in reality, there were only eight people staying there. Two days ago, a girl was adopted by a kind family, so there was an empty bed. Now, there were only seven people staying in the dormitory.

Sophora Japonica was going to this temporarily empty bed to tell her ghost stories to her friends.

Other than Gamma Ceti and Riho who refused to listen, there was a girl called Tentacles who did not participate. The latter was busy drawing — Gamma Ceti had seen her simple drawings and doodles. They were full of spirit and vitality.

Four little girls were excitedly huddled together on one bed, chattering and telling stories with great excitement.

Sometimes, Gamma Ceti would choose to participate in their discussions to relax her mind, but most of the time, she would rather spend the time thinking about life and philosophy. After all, one could not expect a group of children who had not even graduated from primary school to come up with anything profound.

However, tonight's discussion was quite interesting. Because Sophora Japonica insisted that she could see spirits, she told the previous few stories so vividly that it scared the other three girls so much that they huddled together.

"Shun Shun."

Riho leaned on her bed (their beds were very close) and asked her pitifully, "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Gamma Ceti rolled her eyes. 'This little idiot, if you're afraid of ghosts, then don't eavesdrop on other people's ghost stories!'

"What about the small cake tomorrow morning?"

"Here you go!"

When she heard that there was a small cake to eat, her classmate immediately smiled. She lifted the blanket and patted her mattress madly. "Come up, come up. We'll sleep together tonight. Have you brushed your teeth?"

Riho was speechless. She knew that her friend would be moved by any dessert.

"… I did."

At this time, Sophora Japonica, who was not far away, had just finished telling the ghost story of a kitchen knife that could cut itself in the middle of the night. She started to tell the next ghost story.

Because she was in a state of fear and excitement, she could not help but raise her voice.

"… Have you guys been to the toilet that the teacher forbade everyone from entering?

It's the one next to the storeroom on the third floor. "

"Isn't that the first toilet that we turned left after we went up the stairs?

I've never been there. "

Huai Zi cleared his throat and pretended to be mysterious as he said, "Let me tell you, I heard from Inoue Kun, who has been here for the longest time. Oh, the first year he came here, a girl went missing."

"Missing?!"

"Really? Why haven't we heard of it before?!"

"Because three days later, the police who came to investigate found the girl. She was still alive and well, but she suddenly appeared in that toilet again … However, she seemed to be scared out of her wits. No matter what you asked her, she could not explain herself clearly. In the end, they had to ask a professional hero to seal her memory before she returned to normal.

Later, she was adopted and left here. The director and the others also sealed up that toilet and did not allow anyone to enter. "

"So that's how it is!" The children were enlightened.

However, Xiaoyue also had a question. "But Sophora Japonica, where did you hear this news from?

Logically speaking, the adults would not tell us this. "

"Who do you think would tell me?"

Huai Zi smiled mysteriously. Just like her name, she was a radical with the word "ghost" in her name. At this moment, this girl looked extremely terrifying.

Therefore, the other three girls screamed as expected. The teacher who was doing the rounds at the door poked her head in and was very dissatisfied. "Why are you screaming?

Did you win the lottery?

Or did you develop a new personality? "

"No, it's nothing, teacher."

The children quickly pretended to be obedient. This was one of the compulsory lessons at the orphanage. If you were not obedient, no one would take care of you.

The teacher who was responsible for the rounds was a middle-aged woman. She had her own children, and she was about the same age as the girls before her. She knew that children this age were full of curiosity about the world … therefore, she was not really angry. She just waved her hand helplessly. "It's going to be lights out soon. Those who have not used the toilet and brushed their teeth, please go."

"Yes, teacher!"

Gamma Ceti did not take this ghost story to heart. After all, it was better to believe in science.

Moreover, ever since the emergence of 'personalities', many supernatural phenomena could be explained by superpowers. For example, the kitchen knife that cut vegetables on its own could be a chef with a metallic personality secretly practicing his knife skills. Another example was the white-clothed shadow that floated on the rooftop. In fact, it was a lovelorn accountant who used his' personality 'on the rooftop after getting drunk. There was also the skeleton specimen that suddenly walked in the storeroom. The reason for that was that it was lent to a nearby medical student in the morning for an experiment. In the end, the remnant of the' personality 'only acted up at a certain point in time …

Therefore, Gamma Ceti was not a master, but she was brave. She calmly closed the book and went to sleep.

However, perhaps because there was an extra person in the small single bed, and because she drank too much water before going to bed, her sleep was not good. She opened her eyes at 3 am.

Hiss … Toilet, toilet, toilet.

The poor little fellow quietly climbed out of bed without alerting anyone in the dormitory.

She ran out of the room in the dark, wanting to reach the familiar toilet at the end of the corridor. When she reached the door, she realized that the toilet door was locked from the inside, and a piece of paper that had been printed at the last minute was stuck on the door.

[The water pipe is broken and leaking. It will be repaired tomorrow. Please be careful when you walk.]

Huh?

The water pipe is broken?

Gamma Ceti's drowsy brain suddenly woke up. She glared at the paper with dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do.

She stumbled down the stairs. The child remembered that there was a toilet at the same place downstairs.
