Const Orphanage 36

As dusk fell, the iron gates of the Orphanage were tightly shut, as if guarding unfathomable secrets. Outside, a group of four or five figures clad in gray uniforms and black helmets silently appeared, peering through binoculars at the world within the iron gates.

"Captain, have they not made their move yet?" one of them whispered, his voice laden with an indescribable tension.

"Bodyguards aren't allowed at the banquet. The captain has to squeeze in with that bunch of bodyguards," another replied, his tone tinged with resignation.

"Didn't the captain infiltrate Luminous Entertainment last time to recruit new talents? Why end up back here?" murmured someone, puzzled.

"It's said that the guy used to be from Const Orphanage. Probably wanted to come back for a look and ended up trapped," someone else explained.

"Isn't this a death wish? Is there any chance of rescue?" the questioner's voice carried a hint of horror.
