Chapter 777: Infiltration

Dorothy looked at the small slip of paper in front of her and was silent for a moment, then looked up at Grandma Sheep not far away.

Hmm, although she had been prepared for this, when this slip of paper was really handed to her, she still had a slightly complicated mood.

Grandma Sheep, I am your own grandson, and I just came to visit you and stay for two days. Do I have to participate in this kind of "little game" in the yard too?

Of course, she was just a player, and she didn't have any feelings for those "parents" or "grandma," so naturally, she wouldn't be sad because of this. She just pitied "herself" a little.

Sigh, this NPC Adi is truly a miserable person. What kind of "loving family" is this?

Of course, Grandma Sheep also noticed her gaze, and that somewhat aged sheep face immediately revealed a kind smile. It was truly kind, full of an old person's doting on her descendants.

The Home Witch also shrugged her shoulders at this, then picked up the pen on the side and casually signed the name "Little Shuai."

Hmm, until now, she didn't know what she was called, and she forgot to ask the real Adi last night.

As for whether to casually write the name of another lamb, Dorothy didn't like doing this kind of thing. She hated the feeling of casually joking with other people's lives.

If she decided to kill someone, she would do it herself; there was no need to use this kind of boring and inefficient method.

Moreover, these were just a group of children.

Fine, although the malice of this group of children might be even purer and more hair-raising.

Dorothy looked up and saw that the other lambs were actually secretly looking at her and Audrey at this table. The malice in their eyes was too straightforward.

Got it, no need to think about it; this time, she would probably be elected with high votes.

The Home Witch shook her head and then looked at the Junior Sister in front of her.

And Audrey also happened to put down her pen at this moment. Seeing that Senior Sister was looking at her, she didn't mind showing her little slip of paper.

"Little Mei."

Fine, this little fox is worthy of being a good child. Even though she has now become Mei Yangyang, her pure heart is still brilliant.

"You don't have to be like this."

Dorothy reached out and rubbed her Junior Sister Sheep's fluffy head, then took the slip of paper from her hand, crossed out the name "Little Mei," and filled in "Little Shuai."

Audrey: "..."

Seeing Senior Sister's action, Mei Yangyang was immediately dissatisfied. She glared at Senior Sister somewhat sulkily.

And to this, the Home Witch laughed.

"Don't mind it. Anyway, looking at it, everyone will probably vote for me today, so I'm not afraid of one more vote from you. Maybe if you change it like this, I can achieve the achievement of being elected with full votes? Don't hinder me from brushing achievements."

While saying this, she handed the two written slips of paper to a nursing sheep on the side.

And at this moment, the other lambs had also finished their respective votes. The nursing sheep quickly collected the slips of paper and unified them into a box.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, children. Then, it's the old rule: the results will be announced in the evening, and at that time, everyone will hold a farewell ceremony for the selected brothers and sisters."... Grandma Sheep's kind voice sounded again. Afterward, she left with the nursing sheep.

And after breakfast, the lambs scattered and moved freely.

Dorothy and Audrey ran around the orphanage together, observing the other lambs, seeing who might be the hidden "demon's shepherd."

It was just a pity that they didn't find anything until noon.

She had already looked at other facilities in the orphanage, such as the library, dormitory, cafeteria, infirmary, etc. There was truly no clue at all. And now, in the entire orphanage, there was only one room they hadn't investigated, and that was the Director's Office.

Lambs could move freely in the orphanage, but the Director's Office was different. It was a forbidden area; Grandma Director didn't allow any lambs to approach.

Of course, for Dorothy, any prohibition was waste paper. The more you prohibited it, the more she wanted to do it.

So, seeing that this was the last investigation point, she directly pulled Audrey and squatted at the door of the Director's Office.

And after waiting for Grandma Sheep to take the nursing sheep away from the office to arrange dinner, she immediately flashed over.

It was just that the door of the Director's Office seemed to be locked.

"Audrey, lend me your hairpin."

Looking at the tightly locked door, Dorothy said so to the Junior Sister Sheep on the side.

"..."

The little fox looked at Senior Sister somewhat puzzled, but still obediently took off a hairpin from her head and handed it over.

The Home Witch took the hairpin and poked it directly into the keyhole, then fiddled with it, and only heard a "click," and the door lock opened.

This made Audrey's eyes widen directly, and those beautiful, watery big eyes were full of astonishment, saying "this is also possible."

"Basic operation, don't be surprised. Also, good children shouldn't learn this."

Dorothy returned the hairpin to her Junior Sister and said so.

Well, because witches have simple and easy-to-use magic spells like "Unlock Spell," they are not very good at this kind of "handicraft." Most witches won't seriously study this thing.

The Home Witch actually didn't know it either, but who let her be a Wu Shen?

Even if she was just a mortal body now, but is a Wu Shen such an inconvenient thing? As long as you pay attention to a little bit of force transmission, plus a little bit of small techniques like "hitting a cow across a mountain," then using a needle to open a mechanism lock is truly something you can do with your hands.

Martial arts, very magical, right?

Just like that, the two walked into the Director's Office.

This was ultimately an orphanage's Director's Office, not some noble's study, so the interior decoration was also very simple, or even crude. The room wasn't big, and inside there was just an old desk, a broken sofa, and two or three bookshelves filled with books.

And the thing in the room that could most attract the attention of Dorothy and Audrey was naturally the box that stored the votes earlier.

Dorothy stepped forward quickly, opened the box, took out a few slips of paper, looked at them, and couldn't help but "tsk."

"They are truly a group of easy-to-understand little brats. Sure enough, they all voted for me."

She had an "as expected" expression.

And seeing such a result, Audrey on the side looked at her Senior Sister with great worry, her eyes full of concern.... "Alright, don't be cowardly, your Senior Sister has a secret trump card."

Dorothy patted her skirt and comforted her Junior Sister like this.

Afterward, she relied on her good memory of never forgetting and restored the ballot box and the slips of paper inside to their original state, and then hurriedly found time to look for other clues.

And this time, she actually found some things quickly.

Those were several photo albums and a diary. In the photo albums were the memories of a sheep from childhood to adulthood, and then to old age. The Home Witch also recognized at a glance that this was what Grandma Sheep looked like when she was young.

Hmm, just looking at these photos, Grandma Sheep was also a Mei Yangyang when she was young. Although she wasn't as charming as Audrey, who could make people ignore the species, among mortal sheep, she was definitely a beautiful sheep.

This made the Home Witch a bit curious about what this Grandma Sheep would look like in the real world. Should she let Adi draw it when she communicates spiritually tonight?

Forget it, just looking at those hands that wrote like a dung beetle crawling, one knew that her drawing must be even worse.

Sigh, that is truly trash.

Dorothy shook her head and continued to flip through the photo album.

Grandma Sheep in her youth looked a bit aloof, and then it was her youth and middle age. She seemed to have started a family. Although the photo album didn't write who her partner was, there were photos of Grandma Sheep touching her pregnant belly with motherhood.

Then, it was photos of her holding a little sheep. And during the time from the little sheep's birth to growing up, Grandma Sheep didn't have the coldness of her youth, and her face often carried a smile.

It was just a pity that later, the little sheep disappeared from her side, and although Grandma Sheep from middle age to old age became gradually kind, the coldness of her youth seemed to have returned.

It was just...

"Eh, no way, isn't my mother a snake-scorpion beauty? Not a sheep?"

Dorothy suddenly discovered the point.

From this photo album, Grandma Sheep seemed to have only one daughter, but that daughter was also a sheep. But her mother was snake-headed and scorpion-tailed, which didn't match.

I don't know if it's because the appearance of Spirit World creatures might "change eighteen times in eighteen years," or if Grandma Sheep isn't actually her own grandmother.

The Home Witch scratched her head, then put down the photo album and picked up the diary on the side.

"This is a sheep pen raised by a demon. You and I are both lambs in it."

This was a line of text written on the cover of the diary.

And seeing this, Dorothy immediately became energetic. Good fellow, isn't this clue about the demon here?

She opened the diary directly and started to scan it quickly, ten lines at a glance.

Hmm, after all, she didn't know when Grandma Sheep and the nursing staff would come back, so there was no time to read it slowly.

Fortunately, she had a good memory of never forgetting, so she had that quantum reading-like fast page-turning operation.

Not long after, the Home Witch finished flipping through the entire diary, and the two of them quickly put the photo album and diary back in their original places, and finally ran away nimbly.

It had to be said that they were lucky, because just after they had run for a while, several small figures touched toward the Director's Office. They also intended to pick the lock and enter the door, but this time, before these people succeeded in picking the lock, Grandma Sheep came over with the nursing sheep and gave those unlucky lambs a good beating... And Dorothy and Audrey hid in the melon-eating crowd on the side and watched the show.

Hilarious, now it's good. People to take the blame and hide traces are all there. The Home Witch was a bit worried earlier that picking the lock would leave some traces that were not easy to detect and become a flaw, but after being tossed by Little Fei, Little Lan, and other sheep, there was no worry at all.

And she also took the opportunity to start slowly digesting the content of the diary she had recorded earlier.

Excluding a large amount of life records that didn't have much meaning, girl's heart affairs, etc., the useful information on the diary wasn't much.

And summarizing it slightly, only a few lines remained that might be useful.

First, Grandma Sheep also grew up in this Lamb Yard. She wasn't the founder of this Lamb Yard, just one generation of directors. The history of this demon's sheep pen seemed to be longer than expected.

Although a lamb is "out of the pen" every month in the orphanage, there are always many lambs, and there are always sheep that can stay until the end, until they grow up. Such sheep seem to generally become staff members of the Lamb Yard.

Just like Grandma Sheep and the nursing sheep under her.

Second, Grandma Sheep is indeed "her" own grandmother. She has and only has one daughter. That daughter also grew up in the Lamb Yard, but after growing up, she didn't stay in the Lamb Yard, but went out to start a family and also gave birth to a daughter, which is the role Dorothy is playing now.

Hmm, looking at it this way, the appearance of the snake-scorpion mother might really be "changing eighteen times in eighteen years," or is it that appearance comes from the heart?

Well, this is the Spirit World, so appearance coming from the heart is normal; it can be understood.

Anyway, the diary recorded quite a few things about the snake-scorpion mother, and Dorothy could feel the maternal love overflowing between the lines.

Similarly, she was truly doting on "herself," this granddaughter. The diary also had quite a few records of joy after "herself" was born.

And third, Grandma Sheep is indeed the demon's shepherd.

Hmm, the reason she could become the director of the Lamb Yard was that she signed a contract with the demon, and the content of the contract was that she helped the demon do work, and the demon gave her only daughter freedom.

It was just that the diary didn't write more information about this demon, only vaguely mentioning that this demon also often appeared in the form of a sheep.

Tsk, sheep eating sheep, this sheep-eating demon is also truly humorous enough.

"Good fellow, no way, is this reasoning really so simple, without any anti-trope?"

After roughly digesting this content, Dorothy was even more silent.

Although she had been mentally prepared that Grandma Sheep might be the demon's shepherd, after this speculation was truly confirmed, she still didn't know what to say.

Got it, now in order to banish the demon, I have to be a "big filial daughter" again.

Sigh, what kind of human tragedy is this?

In the first level, "herself" had to personally send her parents to the heavens, and now she has to send her grandmother away. There won't be any grandfather and grandmother plots later, right? Don't... is this a script of a lone star of heavenly evil, focusing on the whole family being neat and tidy?

"Tsk, I refuse this kind of thing."

Dorothy shook her head helplessly. She touched the ring under her skirt, preparing to lift this last trump card.

She really didn't want "herself" to carry the sin of killing relatives. Grandma Sheep is guilty of heinous crimes, but there is justice in the law to judge her crimes.

The Home Witch prepared to give that sheep-eating demon a werewolf shock when she was "out of the pen" tomorrow. You like to change into a sheep, right? Stupid, right? I'm showing my cards; I'm a werewolf, specializing in eating sheep.

After dealing with that demon, I'll turn around and report this Lamb Yard.

She planned so in her heart.

It was just that...

Night fell, and the Lamb Yard also became lively. After all, tonight is the farewell day, and they are going to say goodbye to the companion who is about to be "adopted."

Of course, Dorothy had no interest in this. After all, she herself would be the one being sent away if there were no accidents. She only cared about whether she could have a good meal tonight.

And just when she was looking forward to whether there would be some delicacies tonight, Grandma Sheep came.

"Children, the voting results are out, and the next sheep to be adopted is..."

"Little Mei."

Home Witch in a daze.

With great perseverance, I defeated the temptation of taking a leave of absence; that must be the conspiracy of the God of Sloth. ===== CHAPTER 778 =====

Overcoming the temptation to call in sick with great perseverance—that must have been a conspiracy by the God of Sloth.
