There are only a few adults in the orphanage, the dean, an uncle at the porter, and an aunt who is responsible for cooking and helping take care of the children.

Both the dean and the aunt are female, and the person who was dragged away just now is obviously a male. The porter is old and should be lame, which is not right.

Su Cibei speculated that there should be living people other than him who were brought in here. Combined with what he yelled when he knocked on the door just now, it is very likely that he had been here before and then escaped because of some things?

The two children who survived the fire at that time, the people who had entered here by mistake before the fire, or simply the murderer of this intentional arson...

Any identity can temporarily match what he said before. Not much information is known, so we can only speculate for the time being.

Su Cibei raised the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine towards the end of the corridor, and the arc-shaped light broke through the darkness, trying to illuminate a small piece of ground.But the surrounding darkness is too dense, the light of the flashlight can only be said to be a drop in the bucket for it, and it can only vaguely make people see a pile of things covered with cloth and piled up in disorder.

The round discarded bottles were scattered all over the ground, and a blank mark was dragged out in the middle, which seemed to indicate that there was indeed a person who was dragged out mercilessly before.

When you get closer, you can still see the thin white marks that were scratched out on the ground, as well as some red blood stains that haven't had time to oxidize.

That should be the trace left by his struggle when he was dragged down.The ten fingers were worn out, and they couldn't break free after struggling with all their strength, and they were quickly pulled away within a few seconds.

The person who dragged him away, or the ghost was very powerful.

Su Cibei kept the analyzed information in his heart first, and continued to walk forward with a flashlight.There is no light in this corridor, and I don't know if the line is broken or I don't think it needs to be installed.

Sweeping the light upwards, only a few empty bulb wires with thick dust hanging down can be seen. In this atmosphere, people feel more gloomy, as if something will follow the wires from the ceiling anytime, anywhere. Like climbing down.

There were more and more debris piled up at the foot, almost completely covering the entire road, Su Cibei stopped before taking two steps.The light hit the wall not far in front, reflecting a strange feeling from the traces of children's random graffiti on it.

This corridor is much shorter than expected, and there is nothing else in it except a pile of stuffed stuff.but……

Su Cibei lowered his eyes, and the dragged trace on the ground disappeared less than ten centimeters away from his feet. The disappearance stopped abruptly without any buffer, as if he had been dragged here directly. Like being swallowed by the ground.

"what are you doing here?"

An old female voice suddenly sounded behind him, Su Cibei was startled, turned around and saw a flickering candlelight, and under the candlelight, a face as old and serious as a dried orange peel.

Judging by his age, he should be the director of this orphanage?

"Is it Doctor Su?" Seeing that Su Cibei didn't answer, the dean looked at Su Cibei, and first squeezed out a gentle smile, but that smile looked a little scary on her shriveled face.

"Scared you? I'm old and light sleeper, so I came out when I heard the sound."

Why didn't you come out to see the big commotion just now?

Su Cibei secretly slandered that it was the first time he saw the dean. When he first came, Lin Haoyu and the others said that the dean went out to the pharmacy to buy medicine for them.After all, a group of children live together, and if there are too many people with a cold and fever, you have to be careful of the rest being infected. It is more expensive to get medicine directly from the doctor, so it makes sense for her to go to the pharmacy to buy cold medicine.

but……

Su Cibei's eyes swept over the cuffs of the dean. The cuffs of the washed white cotton pajamas were stained with obvious traces of dust, and there were even a few bloodstained finger prints.

I'm afraid it's not because I heard the voice and came out to take a look, but because I haven't slept all the time?

Su Cibei squeezed out a professional smirk, "I just heard someone knocking on the door, so I wanted to come out and have a look, Dean, did you hear that just now?"

"No, I didn't hear anything."

The dean who just said that he was a light sleeper and would wake up when he heard the sound was super fast.

Su Cibei: "..."

Maybe it was because he looked at the liar too clearly, the dean explained a few words in embarrassment.

"Our place is remote, not many people come here, but the people living nearby are not very decent. Many people come back late, swearing, and there are a lot of people knocking on the door when they are drunk. I am afraid that something will happen to the children. , Tell them not to open the door indiscriminately when encountering such a thing.”

"Don't open the door indiscriminately?"

"Yes," the dean pointed to the window, "A while ago, there was a girl who moved in over there. In the middle of the night, she heard a voice and opened the door for someone, but she was killed by the gangster who broke in." All the valuables in the room were also robbed."

"It's been almost a month since the police filed the case, but they still haven't found anything. After arresting a group of gangsters, they all said no. I don't know when the girl will be able to close her eyes."

She sighed faintly, and Su Cibei looked in the direction she pointed, but only saw a piece of gray mist, which obscured all the world outside the window.It takes a lot of ghost power to prop up an illusion that looks similar to a real building. Even if there is a yard of ghosts supporting it, they can only reproduce the most familiar places in their memory.

The world outside the orphanage is in chaos.

Can't touch, can't escape, just like they keep reincarnating and repeating the previous stories.

Fearing that the children's illness would relapse, Su Cibei went to take their temperature again.Their physique is not very good, it may be due to the lack of nutrition since they were young, and they are a little thinner than ordinary children, but they are obedient and obedient, and they have fulfilled all the instructions before leaving, and they did not lift the quilt even though they were covered in sweat .

The dean helped them drink some salt water, and then eagerly sent Su Cibei back by lighting the lamp, and told him meaningfully at the door.

It's noisy here at night, but the doors of their orphanage are quite solid, and Lao Zhao is guarding the door, so nothing will happen.So, no matter what noise you hear, don't open the door.When the children are all cured tomorrow, they will send him away.

Su Cibei kept silent and pretended to be stupid. Even if she said that, she just nodded with a smile, treating herself as a timid little doctor who didn't want to mess with anything.

The little doctor held the doorknob of his own room, and just about to enter, his eyes swept across the ground at the door, he stopped in his tracks, and picked up a red hairpin with a somewhat peeling bow tie from the ground.

...It seems that he has an unexpected little guest here.

The lights in the room were on, and the quilt that he had lifted halfway remained in its original posture, and the surrounding debris looked similar to where he had placed them before he left.The only places that can hide people more comfortably and quickly are the big wardrobe with the right hand against the wall and the sundries, and... the bottom of his bed.

"boom--"

"Wow! You're in the wrong place, you didn't catch me!"

The big wardrobe was opened, and it was empty, with nothing in it.And together with the sound of the closet being opened, a little girl with a teddy bear came out from under the bed.

She was wearing a pink dress with lace trim, her hair was slightly curly, and she looked cute, but she had a big blue birthmark on her face.There is a red bow hairpin on the right side of her hair, but nothing on the left side. It seems that she accidentally left it at the door when she hurried in.

She ran to Su Cibei with her little bear in her arms, and stretched out her hand to tug at the corner of his clothes.

"Brother, Yuanyuan won, can you play games with Yuanyuan?"

play games?

Su Cibei squatted down, picked up the child, and reached out to pat the dust on her skirt.

"It's so late, do you still come out to play games? You should be on the bed at this time, instead of running to your brother to play here."

"You disobedient bad boy, but you need an injection."

"Brother, you are lying." Facing Su Cibei's threat, Yuanyuan didn't panic at all, "Only sick children need injections. Yuanyuan's health is good, and there is no need for injections."

Fine……

Su Cibei nodded helplessly, giving up the idea of ​​persuading the little girl to go back to sleep.He has worked so hard to coax the child, if he can coax her back, it will probably be dawn.

It still doesn't take that much effort, maybe she can fall asleep by herself after talking, and it's okay to take her away tomorrow.With this in mind, Su Cibei carried the little girl to bed, trying to lull her to sleep with his shallow fairy tale background.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the little girl burst into tears by herself.

Su Cibei: "...!!!!"

Don't do this, don't cry!I don’t know how to coax children at all, and I can’t even sing lullabies. There is only a wolf in my head when I tell a story, maybe I haven’t heard it as much as a little girl...

In desperation, Su Cibei tried to make a call, but he didn't expect that the mobile phone with no signal at all succeeded in getting through.

After two beeps, the phone was connected, and a familiar voice appeared on the other side.

Su Cibei made a prompt decision: "Gu Yanze, hurry up, find a fairy tale and read it to her."

Gu Yanze:? ? ?

What's the fat thing?

Lord Yan fell silent in front of the files in his room, why did he suddenly ask him to read fairy tale books? Does he seem to be the kind of person who is suitable for reading fairy tale books?

Su Cibei didn't care about this, "Didn't you sing me a lullaby before? Just follow that version and come up with one. It doesn't matter if it's singing or reading a story. This girl almost wiped my clothes as a handkerchief."

Gu Yanze: "..."

That day, when the judge entered the office of King Yan with a stack of documents that needed to be approved, he heard the majestic, cruel and unkind Lord Yan, who was seen by all the ghosts in the underworld, reciting aloud in a sutra-like tone...

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and in the temple was a..."
