Capítulo 1425: Chapter 782: The Demon Appears
“What’s going on? How is this possible?”
The mont after Grandma Sheep announced the voting results, Dorothy scread in her heart with shock.
However, on the surface, although she displayed a surprised and unexpected expression, she managed to remain composed.
The Hobody Witch rely cast her gaze toward Grandma Sheep, and it just so happened that Grandma Sheep was also looking at her, their eyes eting.
Usually, Grandma Sheep’s glasses would reflect light, blocking the cold and mischievous sheep eyes beneath them. However, this ti, there was unexpectedly no reflection, and Dorothy directly saw the humor in her eyes.
Naughty little thing, did you think Grandma lived all these years for nothing?
Dorothy could clearly read this aning from Grandma Sheep’s eyes.
Oh no, the old ginger is spicier indeed.
In an instant, the Hobody Witch realized that her previous investigation of the director’s office had been exposed, and perhaps the information she obtained there was intentionally left by Grandma Sheep for her to find.
She assud that the person who would be chosen was herself, but she didn’t expect that Grandma Sheep was still one step ahead, and who knows if the voting box on the desk was real or fake.
Moreover, she suddenly recalled that after she and Audrey left that afternoon, Xiao Fei, Xiao Lan, and other sheep suddenly attempted to sneak into the director’s office. Why would they also want to go to the director’s office?
Were they trying to investigate sothing like her? Or were they just curious children with a love for adventure? Or perhaps, were they after sothing in the director’s office, like the voting box?
Is it possible that they voted for soone in the morning, regretted it by the afternoon, and attempted to change sothing before the voting results were announced?
Dorothy’s mind was racing, then she looked up at the scene that was supposed to be a farewell party, yet the atmosphere was anything but joyful.
Most of the other lambs were hanging their heads, except for Xiao Fei, Xiao Lan, and a few other sheep who got caught trying to enter the director’s office, now with expressions of regret, reluctance, and complex dissatisfaction.
Ah… Surprisingly, not a single sheep is expressing surprise at this result?
Dorothy was stunned, realizing that her speculation might have hit the mark.
Hmm, if everyone had voted for Xiao i in the morning, then it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see this result.
At most, it would be like Xiao Fei and Xiao Lan’s regret.
But why would all these little sheep vote for Xiao i? Didn’t they all like Xiao i? Shouldn’t they hate for taking Xiao i instead? Why did they choose to “eliminate” Xiao i rather than ?
The Hobody Witch couldn’t…
Well, she pondered for a mont, and then she understood, followed by silence.
Sigh, children can be purely kind, yet they can also be purely wicked.
To be blunt, before their worldview is fully developed, children are not much different from wild animals, driven more by bestial instincts and desires than reason.
The unknown breeds fear, while ignorance can make one brave.
Adults might weigh the pros and cons of an action, pondering whether it’s worth the risk, but ignorant children do not fear; they often act impulsively, doing what cos to mind without much thought, which makes them braver than overly cautious adults.
Although this reckless bravery is usually called impulsiveness.
And what would a reckless person do if sothing they cherished was easily taken by soone else?
They would feel offended and burst into rage, trying to reclaim the thing, and if they couldn’t take it back, at the very least, they would destroy it.
If I can’t have it, no one can.
This is the original sin of jealousy.
Suddenly, Dorothy felt a bit chilly. She had never felt afraid of the Sheep-Eating Demon in the Lamb Institute, but now this original sin from the lambs chilled her heart.
She suddenly realized an issue, which was that these lambs might not know the truth about “Adoption Day,” but they were probably well aware that the voting on Adoption Day was a good way to exclude the least favored fellows in the flock.
If the Sheep-Eating Demon is the instrunt executing the death sentence, then these seemingly childlike lambs are the judges pronouncing it.
They don’t know the possible consequences of their casual votes, but it is precisely this ignorance that makes them vote so decisively and impulsively.
And if one day, when these lambs grow up, know more, or discover the truth of the Lamb Institute and the cruelty of “Adoption,” by then…
Well, hesitant lambs probably wouldn’t survive until that day either. Those who manage to grow up in such a constantly eliminating rule wouldn’t be stupid sheep. They might have started suspecting the adoption rules as they slowly grew, but compared to the unknown risk of questioning and resisting, they might prefer self-preservation and exploiting the rules.
Dorothy looked at Grandma Sheep and the nurse sheep behind her from a short distance, realizing that they were the victors of the last round of lamb gas, especially Grandma Sheep, the director, who surely was the most intelligent and cunning one among the flock.
“Tsk, I guess I can’t complain about being outsmarted.”
