Their exposed parts are all sewn together from many fragments.

Not only are their skin colors different, but their ages are also different.

Some are still baby skin, while others are adults.

But the same thing is that their background color reveals a kind of deathly paleness.

The children looked at Liu Zheng curiously, with a clarity and purity in their eyes that did not match their terrifying appearance.

"Teacher, is this our new classmate?"

a girl asked innocently.

Her head flower is larger than others, and it is golden brown, just like an Alexander bird's wing butterfly.

"No, Tonya. This is the electrician I hired."

Red Ghost said gently.

He's an electrician, maybe.

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything.

"Great, this way the classroom can be lit up."

"We can read books again."

"Mr. Electrician, can you help me repair my music box? It won't sing."

The children chattered like little sparrows.

"Even if I were really an electrician, I wouldn't care about repairing the music box."

He wanted to say this.

But looking at the little girl with an expectant look on her face, he really couldn't say anything.

"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will be fixed."

Liu Zheng said.

"Well! Thank you, Mr. Electrician."

The little girl said politely, then excitedly jumped off the chair and jumped to the inner space.

Only then did he discover that she only had one foot.

"I searched for a long time, but couldn't find the other foot, so I had to let them take turns. Today is Galiya."

Red Ghost said.

"Are their feet ordinary feet, or are they 'meat'?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's 'meat'."

Red Ghost replied.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

He shook his head.

If it was an ordinary foot, then he wouldn't mind giving one to them.

"Don't worry, I won't put forward any additional conditions."

Red Ghost seemed to smile.

"You are the boss, you have the final say."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

Soon, Galiya, who only had one leg, came back.

"Here you go, Mr. Electrician."

She carefully held a music box and handed it to Liu Zheng.

The outer shell of the music box is made of plastic, and the lid is painted red.

In the red are two bunches of golden wheat ears. The wheat ears are surrounded by the same golden sickle and hammer. Above the sickle and hammer is a golden five-pointed star.

"Please be sure to fix it. This is the 'three good students' reward given to me by the teacher."

Galiya said.

"If it can't be repaired, will Galiya cry?"

Seeing her serious expression, Liu Zheng couldn't help but want to tease her.

"The teacher said that poor children must be strong and not cry casually."

Galiya pursed his lips and said.

She glanced at Red Ghost and motioned for Liu Zheng to bend down.

He bent down and Galiya put his mouth to his ear.

"When they all fall asleep, I will cry secretly."

After saying that, she smiled slyly.

"Haha."

Liu Zheng touched her head and brought out a piece of hair and scalp.

There was no cover, and the dried brain tissue was exposed before his eyes.

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then silently put his scalp back.

He turned the winding of the music box, and sure enough, no sound came out.

So, he took the music box apart entirely.

After some inspection, Liu Zheng discovered the problem.

"The gears were so rusty that they were completely stuck."

he said.

"Can that be fixed?"

Galiya asked expectantly.

"It's easy to repair. Just wash it off with rust remover and acidic cleaner. Or you can have sandpaper and a wire brush."

Liu Zheng said.

As an orphan, he has mastered various life skills since childhood.

"We don't have any of these."

Red Ghost said regretfully.

"What about vinegar?"

"No."

Red Ghost shook his head.

"Okay, then I have to sacrifice it."

Liu Zheng sighed, pulled out Boning Knife and made a small cut on the tentacle.

Blood seeped out slowly and dripped on the music box, gradually submerging the parts.

After a few minutes, he waved to the little boy named Paul.

"Who is it? Come here."

"What's the matter? Mr. Electrician."

Paul ran over and asked.

His voice and eyes were calm, like a little adult.

"It's okay, I'll just lend you some clothes."

Liu Zheng pulled the corner of his clothes and wiped the parts.

???

Paul A black man with a question mark on his face subconsciously prepared to snatch his clothes back.

"Don't move. If the music box is broken, Galiya cries. Go and comfort it."

Liu Zheng said.

Paul froze.

He is not good at coaxing girls, especially Galiya who cries more than others.

After some wiping, a lot of Rust was removed from the parts.

Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

He had discovered before that his blood was somewhat acidic.

It's definitely useless for fighting, but it's quite useful as a living tool.

Such as now.

"Come on, give it a try."

Liu Zheng handed the music box to Galiya, ignoring the resentful look from Paul next to him.

"Yeah!"

Galiya happily took the music box and wound it up.

Let go of your hand, and the melodious melody floats out.

Compared with normal conditions, the music box's performance is still a bit choppy and the tone is a bit muted.

But at least, it's starting to work.

"Get up, hungry."

I don't know which child started the song, but the other children also started singing.

Then it became a chorus.

The music box only had one melody, but they didn't care and kept singing.

Liu Zheng can sing, but he doesn't sing along, he just watches.

He has no beliefs or ideas, only a simple outlook on life.

And these three views are equally fragile and can be easily broken by money and power.

"Thank you, the children haven't been so happy for a long time."

Red Ghost said suddenly.

"Then can I no longer need to generate electricity?"

Liu Zheng took the opportunity to say.

"That's impossible."

"Hey, you'll know."

"But, I can give you another reward."

Red Ghost waved his hand, and a large net bag flew in front of Liu Zheng, with about twenty fish in it.

"I see you are quite interested in them."

Red Ghost said.

"Indeed, then it's even."

He said shamelessly.

At this time, the children's chorus also came to an end.

"Thank you, Mr. Electrician."

Galiya stood up on tiptoes and kissed Liu Zheng.

A slight corpse smell drifted into his nostrils.

Liu Zheng surface does not change color.

Compared with bad breath, he Liu Zheng is no weaker than anyone else in his life.

"Mr. Electrician, can you help me fix my doll? Her head fell off."

"Mr. Electrician, can you help me fix my Rubik's Cube?"

The children gathered around and made various requests.

Liu Zheng looked at the phone and saw that there were still two hours left, which was quite enough.

He spent the next half hour sewing the doll, repairing the Rubik's Cube and other gadgets.

As for those that are more difficult and those that cannot be repaired due to lack of tools, there is nothing we can do.

The children were very sensible and didn't bother, and just returned to their seats gloomily.

"It's time to generate electricity."

Red Ghost reminded.

"Where's the generator?"

"Follow me."

Follow Red Ghost and Liu Zheng to the storage room in the southeast corner.

There is also that kind of emergency light in the storage room, and it is much more powerful and can basically illuminate the room.

"Is this the generator you're talking about?"

The corners of his eyes twitched.

"That's right."

"This is obviously an electric chair!"
