"Oh, welcome, kind sir." The one who opened the door was a teacher from an orphanage, and he immediately said in surprise when he saw Yi Huan.

Britain in 1936 had already begun to be in turmoil, or the wounds of war twenty years earlier had not yet been healed by the country, and the number of orphans in the cities had increased dramatically, while the number of adopters was scarce.

But it's still much better than Winnie's days when people froze everywhere, and Winnie has grown up as a girl.

"I'm going to adopt a boy." Yi Huan said straight to the point, Winnie stood behind him obediently, and the two looked like traditional aristocrats.

"We have a lot of children here, and there will be little ones who will please you, and I will call Mrs. Cole down." The teachers at the orphanage said again and again that not every orphanage is bad, and most of the teachers are good-hearted and good people, and they sincerely hope to find a good foster family for these orphans.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Yi Huan said, "I'm going to adopt a little guy named Tom Riddle, I remember he's here?" ”

The orphanage teacher's voice seemed to be stuck by something, and her expression froze on her face, and the color on her face changed for a while, and after a while, she forced a smile and said, "Yes...... Yes, but talk to Mrs. Cole. ”

Soon, Yi Huan saw Mrs. Cole who had rushed over, just as he had expected.

"You're going to adopt Tom?" Mrs. Cole's eyes narrowed, "You know him?" "If Tom hadn't been mentioned as a sensitive person, perhaps Mrs. Cole's attitude would have been very different.

Everyone who comes to adopt, the basic family conditions are not bad. Their donations are the main source of income for the orphanage. But because Tom is involved. It also made Mrs. Cole lose her usual sneer.

"It's just...... It's just old knowledge. Yi Huan didn't even raise his eyelids, after becoming a wizard, he was no longer an ordinary person, and many trivial things were in his eyes...... It's all very boring.

"I'll give you a thousand pounds." Seeing that Mrs. Cole still had plans to continue talking nonsense, Yi Huan directly blocked her mouth with money.

A thousand pounds was a huge sum of money for the market price at the time, and Yi Huan took out a bundle of money directly from his bosom and stuffed it into Mrs. Cole's hand. "I want to see Tom, now."

Of course, Yi Huan will not run around with a sum of money, although he is not afraid of thieves, but it is very inconvenient, he reaches out to take the money because as long as there is a shadow, there is his shadow, and the things in the boundary have all been transferred to the shadow.

Probably shocked by the money in her hand, Mrs. Cole's hands were trembling, and she shouted at the teacher next to her. "Don't call him yet!"

She looked at Yi Huan's youthful appearance, maybe money played a role. Or it reminded her of the good people who came, and her attitude had an extreme reversal, "Sir...... Tom...... It's not good to live in an orphanage. ”

She said in front of Yi Huan, "It's not that we don't treat him well, it's that he is a little withdrawn...... There are also some evils. Mrs. Cole approached, as if she were about to say something terrible.

"He's a demon." Mrs. Cole leaned over Yi Huan and whispered, "Doesn't Mr. need another one for adoption?" We have a little girl named Amanda here who is very well-behaved. ”

Tom followed the teacher's lead to the hall quickly, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Mrs. Cole's bad words, his eyes darkened, and then he saw Yi Huan.

And Yi Huan also saw him, "Thank you for reminding Mrs. Cole, but I want him, come over Tom." He waved at Tom, "Say goodbye to Mrs. Cole, and I'll get you out of here." ”

"Yes sir." Tom walked past the teacher and bowed deeply to Mrs. Cole, "Goodbye, ma'am." ”

I don't know if it was because I was finally out of this trouble, or because Tom was relieved that he would have a stable life in the future, Mrs. Cole also seemed relieved, and she lowered her head slightly, "Goodbye, kind sir, I wish you a pleasant day." ”

Yi Huan nodded, and prepared to leave here with Winnie and Tom, but at this moment, Mrs. Cole suddenly let out a short, high-pitched exclamation, "Ah! What's going on! ”

"Is there any problem, ma'am?" Yi Huan turned around a little impatiently and asked.

"Your shadow ......," said Mrs. Cole, pointing to his feet with some fear, "you have no shadow! At the moment when Mrs. Cole looked down, she noticed that the young man's feet seemed to be different from others, and after observing for a while, Mrs. Cole suddenly noticed something that made her creepy, that is, this young man had no shadow!

"So...... So what? Yi Huan frowned, and he didn't show any malice, so there was no need to make a fuss.

“…… How is it? Mrs. Cole seemed to be squeezing out of her teeth, "You devil! Sure enough, the people who are in the company of this evil child are demons! ”

Most of the orphanages in this era were supported by monasteries, and many of the grandmothers were once nuns who believed in God, so ...... Mrs. Cole's fear immediately revealed the same disgust she felt for Tom.

Tom looked at Mrs. Cole with a mixture of malice and pity, he knew the origin of the man next to him, and believed that nothing good would happen to this annoying woman.

"I'm a wizard, not one of those pesky aliens." Yi Huan was also a little unhappy, "Forget it...... You don't understand that. ”

He let out a long breath, and suddenly felt that although there was a lively world around him, in this world, it seemed as if he was alone.

Mrs. Cole's screams and the shouts of the teacher on the side woke up most of the people in the orphanage, and Yi Huan looked around with some displeasure, although this is still a backward era, but the law and order and the legal system have begun to improve, and if they don't handle it well, they will definitely be targeted by the Department of Justice.

Then it will be discovered by the Ministry of Magic...... Yi Huan pulled out a wand out of thin air in the darkness, and Tom's eyes stared at his movements without blinking.

"Ten thousand years of sleep, waiting to ......wake up" The tip of the wand began to float out dark green bands of light, Yi Huan suddenly stopped the magic, the power of the sleep spell seemed to be too great, and it was not a trivial matter for a whole orphanage to be asleep.

"So...... Still unconscious! With a wave of his wand, Yi Huan seemed to explode a dark red circle of light in the void, and after the explosion, the entire orphanage was instantly enveloped in it.

After a few seconds, there was silence.

"Let's go, they won't remember what happened today when they wake up." Yi Huan turned around and walked out again.

"You didn't kill them?" Tom asked.

"Why should I kill them?" Yi Huan glanced at him and asked lightly.

Tom lowered his head and remained silent, and soon, the three of them left the gate of the orphanage, leaving only one ...... It's like a dead building. (To be continued......)
