Why Did 007 Come Here?

He was born into a fairly well-off family with his Dad and Older Sister. The four of them lived happily together.

Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with leukemia and albinism when he was five years old.

Before the strange event occurred, An Ying's leukemia treatment was putting a strain on his family, but Dad parents still insisted on giving him the best medications.

Just as he was about to recover, something strange happened.

His parents died, and then his Older Sister died. His medical treatment was also delayed.

Shaking her head, An Ying stopped thinking about it and was about to open the door to leave when her eyes fell on her white hair in the mirror.

[Host, host, wake up! Something terrible has happened! This is very wrong!!]

007, the little fox, looked at it and Lin Nieran with a bewildered expression: [Host, how did I get in with you?]

Lin Nieran, unsurprised, withdrew his gaze from surveying his surroundings and said to the system, "What's all the fuss about? What's there to be afraid of? It's just that we've entered Instance."

[It's fine that you came in, but how did I end up here!] 007 is devastated.

"It must be a problem with your program."

Lin Nieran withdrew his gaze. He and 007 were floating in the boy's dormitory. The room was very simple. The bunk beds were full of boys, leaving only a narrow aisle.

[Huh? Really? Could it be that my parts are worn out...?] 007 said, then glanced at Lin Nieran, even more shocked.

[Wait a minute, host, why are you invisible?]

Lin Nieran shrugged, reached out to touch the bed, but his hand slipped through it. "How should I know? Probably because my personality was pulled in this time, so you, who was bound to me, came in with me?"

007 was confused about the situation, but that didn't stop it from sending an emergency error message. However, it sent several distress signals but received no response.

[It's over, host. It seems we've landed in some remote corner of the world. There's no signal here, and they can't receive my messages from above.] 007 pitifully lowered its fox head.

Lin Nieran found it amusing. "The system also needs to receive signals?"

[I'm not making this up. Losing signal will trigger an offline mode. In this mode, although I can still communicate with the host, all functions will stop. Only the passive system programs will run, and I have no control over task assignments.]

Seeing 007 pacing anxiously, Lin Nieran remained calm. "Then can you normally receive Performance Points and Fame?"

[The collected data will be automatically updated after reconnection]

"That's fine."

As he spoke, Lin Nieran noticed that the sleeping little boy beside him was about to wake up, and said in advance, "007, someone's about to wake up, quickly hide."

007 looked bewildered: [What? Ah!]

Hidden behind the bed, the boy sleeping on the lower bunk slowly opened his eyes and sat up with a headache.

In the small dormitory, the smell of dampness and the coldness always lingered, but when Lin Yi smelled this familiar scent, he felt a little more at ease.

He rubbed his eyes and peered into the room through the sliver of light coming through the broken window. The other seven people in the beds were still asleep.

The boy glanced at the clock on the wall again; it was still early, so he felt relieved and lay back down in bed.

He has a secret that no one dares to tell.

He had a new friend in his mind, a friend he had only met once or twice, but didn't know his name.

He always appeared very quickly, sometimes only for a moment, but he knew that there seemed to be another person in his mind.

The boy knew he was sick, and seeing a person who wasn't there was abnormal.

But the boy dared not tell anyone that in the Orphanage, sick children were all classified as the lowest level, F, and no one would want to adopt such children. No matter how high the score was, it wouldn't matter.

As the boy blinked his big eyes and stared out the window in a daze, Lin Nieran and 007 finally received the notification sound for the Instance.

[Welcome to the Weird Instance, Chocolate Orphanage...]

[Player number 12 has entered; the Instance is about to open]

Welcome to the Chocolate Orphanage

Your identities are: orphans taken in by Orphanage.

The Orphanage Director said:

People are divided into different classes from birth.

Becoming an orphan meant becoming the lowest of the low.

Chocolate Orphanage: Giving every child without family a chance to make a new choice.

If we pray sincerely and heed teachings, one day the children will have a bright future.

Please try your best to survive as Orphanage.

After hearing the notification, 007 asked in a low voice, "[Host, why are we hiding? They shouldn't be able to see us.]"

"That's true." Lin Nieran got up, but his body went straight through the foot of the bed and came to the head of the boy's bed.

[Host, how are you going to complete the mission like this?]

Lin Nieran looked at his illusory body, and still tried touching other objects, but still managed to pass through them.

Lin Nieran Wristband his arms helplessly. "Fine, let's just give up."

[But host, I have a feeling something's not right.] 007 said, [Could it be that there's something wrong with the power of your Orphanage Director card?]

"Maybe. By the way, in my current state, will they still be able to see me?" Lin Nieran suddenly realized this crucial point.

[Uh...] 007 scratches the fox's ears [I really don't know...]

Lin Nieran raised his hand to pick up the little fox and ask him to come up with a solution, but at that moment, they heard the boy's very soft voice.

Are you arguing inside my head?

His words brought the system and Lin Nieran's voices to an abrupt halt.

007 screamed first, "[Host, he can hear us!! He can see us too! How can he see me?]"

Lin Nieran ignored the flustered fox system. He smiled gently, leaned down to look at the boy hiding under the covers, and asked softly, "It's us. What's your name?"

The boy's eyes lit up. "My name is Lin Yi. Are you the friend I've been thinking about all this time?"

Lin Nieran and said, "Yes, it's me."

"So, what's your name?" Lin Yi asked cautiously.

Looking at the still young Lin Yi, Lin Nieran smiled and said, "I haven't thought of a name yet, but we're the same person, and I'm older than you, so you can just call me brother."

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I will protect you."

Lin Yi nodded, then pointed curiously at 007: "What is this talking fox? Is it a fairy?"

[I'm not a fairy!] 007 had just finished speaking when suddenly, a surge of mechanical electricity shot through his body, and with a ding, it crashed, its body reverting to its original small ball form.

"What's wrong with him?" Lin Yi asked anxiously.

Lin Nieran patted 007 in confusion and hesitated, "It might have crashed. It should be fine in a bit."

Lin Yi nodded blankly. "Oh, I see."
