To Arrange Without Care
Chapter 36
This is the anti-theft badge.
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 the pillow.
She was also leaning against the bed board and reading a book.
The title of the book was Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.
This was a book that seemed to be about physics.
It seemed to contain important principles of calculus, but in fact, it was about mechanics.
It had a pivotal impact on the entire history of human mechanics.
The author of this book was the famous Newton.
Although Newton, who had passed away, had been slapped in the face since the appearance 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 beside her bed asked her curiously, "Shun Shun, why are you biting that straw?"
"Because there's no candy to eat, 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.
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.
Her expression was gentle.
"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 it happen?" she said in horror.
Gamma Ceti blinked innocently. "Just this morning.
I asked you to get up and go to school, but you wouldn't 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' … I went to make it. "
After being reminded, Riho did remember that there seemed to be such a conversation this morning. She wanted to cry but had no tears. "I was just talking in my sleep!
And you should have left some for me. "
Gamma Ceti suddenly smiled coldly. "Impossible.
There's no reason for me to take out the candy and give it to someone else. "
"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. "
His brainiac friend gave him an irresistible comfort.
Only then did Riho pull herself together.
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. It was said that she had opened her 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. She was a timid child. When she heard that the theme of the night was this, she shook her head desperately. "No, I won't participate in tonight's chat!"
"Really?"
Sophora Japonica said disappointedly. Then she turned her expectant gaze to Gamma Ceti, who was reading peacefully. "Do you want to come and play?"
"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 turns off the lights."
Sophora Japonica saw the title and author written on the cover. She suddenly felt that some brainiacs 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 living there. Two days ago, a girl was adopted by a kind family, so there was an empty bed. The entire dormitory was now occupied by seven people.
And Sophora Japonica was going to this temporarily empty bed to tell her ghost stories to her friends.
Other than Gamma Ceti and Riho, there was a girl called Tentacles who did not participate. Tentacles 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, you could not expect a group of children who had not even graduated from primary school to come up with anything profound.
However, the content of tonight's discussion was interesting. Because Sophora Japonica insisted that she could see spirits, she told the previous few stories vividly. 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 cake for tomorrow morning?"
"For you, for you!"
Hearing that there was a cake, Shi Qing's face lit up. She pulled back the blanket and slapped the 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 from them, had just finished telling the ghost story of a kitchen knife that could cut itself in the middle of the night. She moved on to the next ghost story.
Because she was in a state of fear and excitement, she could not help but raise her voice.
"… Have you been to the toilet that the teacher forbade us 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 haven't been there before. "
Sophora Japonica cleared her throat and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, I heard from Inoue-kun, who has been here the longest. Oh, the first year he came here, a girl went missing in there."
"Missing?!"
"Really? How come we haven't 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 … However, she seemed to be scared. No matter what you asked her, she could not explain herself clearly. In the end, they had to ask a professional hero to help 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 people to enter normally. "
"So that's why!" The children were enlightened.
However, Xiaoyue also had a question. "But Sophora Japonica, where did you hear this 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 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, nothing, teacher."
The children quickly acted obedient. This was one of the compulsory classes at the orphanage. If you were not obedient, no one would take care of you.
The teacher in charge of the ward rounds was a middle-aged woman. She also had her own children. 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 or 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.
Furthermore, after the appearance of 'personality', 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 practicing his knife skills in the dark. Another example was the floating white shadow on the rooftop, it was actually a broken-hearted 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 was that it was lent to a nearby medical student for an experiment in the morning, and the residual personality only acted up at a certain point in time …
Therefore, even though Gamma Ceti was not an expert, she was brave. She calmly closed her book and went to sleep.
However, perhaps because there was an extra person in her small bed, and because she drank too much water before going to bed, her sleep was not very 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 groped her way out of the room in the dark, wanting to reach the familiar toilet at the end of the corridor. However, 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 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 could not hold it in, right?
Therefore, she stumbled down the stairs. The child remembered that there was a toilet at the same place downstairs.
However, when she ran past the corner of the stairs, she did not notice that the '4' sign on the wall behind her had turned into a '3'.
The teacher looked at the crying little girl and remembered that she was indeed diagnosed as one of the few students in the hospital with no personality. Her heart ached and she quickly comforted her.
She immediately caught a few dumbfounded brats and severely criticized them. They were punished to wash Gamma Ceti's dishes for two weeks.
When a few frightened brats were taken away for education, they turned their heads to look at Shi Tianyi before they were taken away, as if they were looking at a living devil.
The tear-stained devil grinned at them, and two of the boys were so scared that they almost peed their pants on the spot.
If they dared to provoke her again, it would not be as simple as having their heads broken.
Considering that the hospital they were working with this time was a long-term cooperative hospital with the orphanage, they would send people over to help with the examinations every year.
Therefore, Gamma Ceti felt that her top priority was to find out if personality theft was a common thing.
Therefore, one day, she asked her best friend, Xiao Mei, when she was in a good mood.
"Teacher, can a person steal someone else's personality?"
