It is another full moon night, the Arctic poppies are bathed in the moonlight, and the white snow falling down is like a letter written by the Arctic to the black swan port, falling on the ground one by one, covering it, compacting it, with a cool feeling.

I mean, you can feel some warmth when it's freezing to the bone.

The moonlight and snowflakes floated from the window into the corridor with peeling chalk. The white light lamps made a hissing sound and were hung on the walls one after another, like the moon in the underworld, one after another, two lamps.

You can't see your fingers between the lamps. Every time you walk into the darkness, it's a challenge to your courage. Just like Orpheus walking blindfolded in hell, he doesn't dare to be timid in his heart. Once he looks back, he will fall into darkness.

Renata was walking on this road wearing white cotton pajamas and holding her little bear Zorro. She was not afraid of the alternating black and white shadows in the corridor, because she had been walking this road for almost five or six years, every night.

Go, because she will get up every night, otherwise she will wet the bed. Once she wets the bed, she will be detained by the head nurse. The worst thing is that she will be forced to wear a small yellow flower, so that every child will know that she wet the bed again last night.

, will spare no effort to laugh at her and make her cry.

Renata has always felt that she is special. This feeling of pretentiousness should not appear in any child, but she is an exception because she is the only girl in Black Swan Port who has not had surgery.

Only children who are 'Arab' (referring to having gauze wrapped around their heads after surgery) can stay awake at night... So among the 38 children in Black Swan Harbor, only Renata can wet the bed! She also occasionally takes pleasure in her misery and other children laugh at her for being so

Older people still wet the quilt, but they can't even wet the bed if they want to.

Every time Renata wet the bed, the head nurse would get furious and have to clean up the smelly bed herself. After a long time, when she found that confinement and wearing little yellow flowers could not prevent the paper doll from wetting the bed, she simply stopped locking room 38 at night.

The door was closed, and Renata, who lived inside, was allowed to get up at night and come out to solve her own internal problems.

It's a great privilege. This is why Renata thinks she is special. The 38 rooms are arranged from left to right. 38 children from Black Swan Harbor live in them. No one can be special. Time

As soon as you arrive, you have to go to bed. The head nurse will ring the bell along the corridor at eleven o'clock every night. Every child in the room will be drowsy by the bell and fall into sleep.

In the morning, the head nurse's bell would wake them up, and they would have no dreams or disturbances.

Only Renata had not undergone surgery, so the bells had no effect on her. The same was true for the doctor's banging sound, which would make other children tremble like epilepsy, but she only found the sound monotonous and boring and not interesting.

She would use the excuse of getting up at night to patrol the entire corridor like a queen patrolling her territory. It was her greatest pleasure to visit every part of her territory. This allowed her to truly feel her uniqueness and extraordinaryness.

Renata stopped in the corridor. She stood in front of Room 12 in the corridor and looked inside. Sleeping on the bed inside was Zhurova, the third most beautiful girl in the Golden Triangle.

Like Khorkina, she can dance ballet and has the best singing voice among the children. She starts every Christmas chorus.

Looking past Zhurova, Renata scanned Room 12 carefully. Except for the blind spots that she couldn't see, she even squinted carefully in the shadows.

After not finding what he wanted, he left the room and walked to the next room, No. 13.

...Yes, she has repeated this behavior 12 times, and now it is the 13th time. There are a total of 38 children and 38 rooms in Black Swan Harbor. She will have to repeat this behavior for the 38th time tonight (including her

(her room), she tried to find someone, a girl who should not exist in Black Swan Port, and this girl's name was "Yelena".

"You ask me if I know Yelena? Are you kidding me? Is there anyone in Black Swan Port who doesn't know Yelena? Even the soldiers guarding the gate know her!" In the daytime, this is Renata telling An.

The answer Dong received after asking questions about this "Yelena".

She also asked many people, and when they answered her, they all raised their eyebrows and looked at her like a fool or a madman.

"Is this a trick? Are you having a conflict with Yelena? Hey, it's not what I said. I advise you to apologize to Yelena as soon as possible. She is the most popular among boys, so there are inevitably a lot of them.

Idiots with mental problems will come to trouble you just to make Yelena happy..."

"My impression of Yelena? Why do you suddenly ask this? I thought you didn't care about anyone, Renata... Yelena is a very good and charming girl. She is our black swan.

She is one of the most popular children in Hong Kong! Everyone likes her! No one dislikes her!"

“She can play the piano and the balalaika, and she plays the accompaniment of the Christmas chorus...”

"She can dance, especially ballet. Khorkina often asks her for tips on how to exert force when dancing and how to expand her expressive power. On Christmas, she was the center of the dance floor! Even the doctor praised her for being younger.

When I'm ten years old, I will definitely ask her for a dance."

“Her grades are very good and she is the smartest among all the children. She ranks among the best in every test. The doctor praised her and said that if there is a chance to send any child to study in Moscow in the future, she must be chosen first!”

 “She is very beautiful, the prettiest among the girls...”

 “She is very good at sports and can arm-wrestle with boys...”

 “She never wets the bed...”

“Her breasts are the most developed...Don’t ask me why I know this, it’s the boys who judged it!”

 …

Renata asked almost everyone, pieced together the pieces of information she got about Yelena, and got a shining, perfect, sweet girl of the sky who was like the darling of the spotlight. If the black swan hides

There is a pearl, it must be Yelena!

She simply made a profound contribution to the lives of the children in Black Swan Harbor, teaching all the boys what liking and crushing means, and teaching all the girls what sexy and beautiful are. This kind of person is born into every person.

The eye of the local typhoon has attracted much attention, but... Renata had no idea who she was before today!

If it were another person, under the impact of this information, she would probably have thought that there must be something wrong with her brain, and she had selectively forgotten some memories, but Renata was different. She was a stubborn child, and she had been beaten since the head nurse spanked her.

You can tell by the fact that she can hold back even a drop of tears. She has never compromised under the physical injuries, and she never considers the mental injuries to be her own problem.

Moreover, before Renata went to bed tonight, she also thought of one of the most crucial points, which could overturn the possibility that she was crazy in one fell swoop, that is, there are 38 children in Black Swan Port, each of whom has his or her own independent personality.

Room, and each child has a number, just like Renata is number 38 so she lives in room 38 at the end of the corridor - but what about Yelena? What is Yelena's number? If Yelena is number 39,

Then Black Swan Port should have one more room, No. 39! But the last room in this corridor is still No. 38, which belongs to Renata!

...It's just a pity that Renata only remembered this huge key vulnerability at night. She was lying in bed staring at the ceiling and was so uncomfortable that she couldn't sleep. Suddenly, her brain was overpowered and she realized this problem. Finally, she couldn't sleep anymore.

I put on my shoes and hugged the stuffed bear and ran into the corridor, ready to check whether there was an extra room in this corridor, or whether there was an extra person sleeping in any room!

It is now about three o'clock in the morning. The head nurse has already taken a rest. The nurses who are keeping watch at night should also be gathering in the restaurant to play cards and chat. They patrol every hour and just walked by ten minutes ago. At that time, Renata

She was pretending to be asleep, so that meant she now had plenty of time to check all the rooms in the entire corridor before the next patrol arrived.

If there is really no trace of Yelena's existence, then tomorrow morning she will call all the children to talk about it... After what happened at noon yesterday, some people were already whispering about whether there was something wrong with her head, and even

Consider reporting this matter to the doctor. The worst case scenario is that she may really be dragged into surgery just because she doesn't know this fictitious Yelena!

It took Renata half an hour to look through the 38 rooms from beginning to end. She remembered every child in her heart. Except for the empty rooms of the three deceased children, there was not one more of the other 34 children.

No less, so there is no situation where Yelena suddenly replaced a certain child. After checking the last room No. 1 of Akko, she retracted her head and let out a long sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it’s not that she is crazy, but that the entire Black Swan Harbor children are crazy! There has never been a person like Elena here, this girl has no...

"Nothing?" Behind Renata, the girl asked coldly, her voice as cold as snow, licking Renata's ears and drilling down her neck to her collar, causing layers of goosebumps.

Renata almost jumped up and covered her mouth immediately to avoid screaming and calling the nurse. She suddenly jumped to the side, and her feet suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, rolling on the spot.

She walked around twice, crawled backwards on her hands and knees to stand up, and looked up in horror at the blond girl standing behind her in front of Room 1.

"Good evening, Renata." Yelena stood up slowly with her hands on her waist and turned to look at the paper doll on the ground. When her eyes came into contact with the other party, the little bear named 'Zorro'

I was immediately lifted up to cover her eyes.

“Can you explain why you are here?” Elena tilted her head and looked at Renata on the ground.

"You...who are you? I've seen it, and none of the 38 rooms belong to you! Who the hell are you!" Renata's heart was actually half cold, and she met her identity at this time.

This unknown guy, if the other party is really a man-eating monster in some horror story, wouldn't she have to be swallowed today until all her bones are left?

“You stayed up late at night and sneaked into the corridor just to investigate this matter?” Elena burst out laughing.

"Don't... don't quibble." Renata looked up at the blond girl. The moonlight outside the window shone on the girl's white cotton coat, showing her good figure that was still curvy even with the age limit. At first glance, she was stunned.

She was stunned, but came to her senses under the interesting gaze of the other party, and couldn't help but say, "There is no place for you here at all. Who are you, and what have you done to everyone?"

"What gave you the wrong judgment that if you live in Black Swan Port, you must have your own room in this corridor?" Elena scratched her silky blond hair and asked, "The new one today looks like

A little boy who is not very smart never has a room of his own? He has lived in Black Swan Harbor since he was a child."

“…?” Renata was stunned for a moment by this rhetorical question, not knowing how to refute it.

"And who said I don't have a room of my own? Where else would I sleep? Do you really think I'm a snow girl? I can just build an igloo out of snow and live in it. I'm not an Eskimo and I can't make an igloo.

." Elena spread her hands and looked at Renata on the ground, "Also, the ground is very cold. If you don't want to catch a cold, get up quickly...Forget it, just to be on the safe side, why don't you go to my room and have something to drink?"

"Let's go to your room for a drink?" Renata's face stiffened, thinking that this was a lie by the big bad wolf to trick Little Red Riding Hood into entering the wolf's den.

"My room is quite big, much better than your little shabby room. Do you want to come?" Elena ignored Renata's reaction and walked directly past her, walking into the darkness with alternating white lights.

Renata climbed up and glanced at her back. She was a little hesitant, but she vaguely realized that if she wanted to find out Yelena's true identity, this might be the best chance. Although the other party was mysterious and uncertain, she didn't know if it was good or bad.

It's bad, but at least her appearance from behind didn't harm her just now... If we were to tell a horror story, she should have been killed by the other party just now, right?

But now Yelena didn't show any fear at all, she was as gentle and beautiful as the children described her during the day, and she even invited her to the room for a drink.

 Hang on, want a drink? Is there anything to drink in the kids’ room?

With many doubts crammed into her mind, Renata hesitated for a few seconds, listening to the footsteps in front of her gradually disappearing. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore, hugged Zorro, gritted her teeth, and ran up with courage.

Before running a few steps, I found Elena in front of me, who seemed to have guessed that she would come and was standing there waiting for her.

 “Let’s go.” Elena withdrew her gaze from the room next to her, smiled slightly, turned around and walked forward.

As Renata followed, she turned her head and glanced at the place where Yelena was just looking. This was also a room on this floor, but it was never included in the room of 38 children by Renata, because she

I'm still not sure what this room is for, there is only a lone iron door with a huge 'Zero' written in red paint.

 Room Zero.

"Aren't you going to go in and see what's hidden inside? You peeked into 38 rooms, but you didn't look at this one. Maybe there is an answer about me hidden in it." Elena, who was walking in front, didn't even look up.

He smiled back.

"...No, if you say that, the things inside must have nothing to do with you... The head nurse said we are not allowed to go near this place, otherwise we will be put in solitary confinement or undergo surgery." Renata subconsciously rejected Yelena.
