Chapter 440: Eerily Quiet
Gu Minghan and Li Xiruo walked to the corridor and watched a few children playing with each other's things boringly, they were basically not old enough to go to school, but they should have been innocent and lively, and they didn't know what they had experienced, they didn't laugh or make trouble, like a puppet.
Several children quickly noticed that someone was standing behind them, glanced back, showed a frightened expression, and soon ran away, only the child who was just holding the ball, she was the youngest, and she was still walking steadily, she didn't run a few steps and fell to the ground, and when she wanted to get up, she was already lifted up by Gu Minghan.
She looked at Li Xiruo in front of her in a daze, and it took a long time to stand firm, Li Xiruo took her from Gu Minghan's hand and asked her, "What's your name?" ”
The child didn't answer, a pair of black eyes looked at Li Xiruo without any emotion, Li Xiruo knew her vigilance, took out a thousand paper cranes from her arms, and put it in the child's palm.
The child lowered his head, looked at the white paper crane in his hand, and pinched it with his other hand, and then the paper crane began to fly upward, circled around the child's head a few times, and landed firmly in his hand.
The child's eyes widened, and she looked at Li Xiruo silently, she was still young, and a flying paper crane could make her full of curiosity.
"This paper crane can protect you, so don't be afraid, you can tell us anything."
The child opened her mouth, Li Xiruo waited patiently for her, and after a while she spit out: "Dean Luo, don't let us, we talk to strangers, there are monsters, they will eat us." ”
Li Xiruo frowned: "What monster?" ”
The child opened her arms and swiped up and down, but looking at Li Xiruo's puzzled eyes, she used her limbs together and crawled on the ground.
Li Xiruo could only say: "Have four legs? ”
The child nodded vigorously, and Li Xiruo remembered the thing that was not a cat or a mouse that Luo Fang was holding in his arms just now: "Is it that cat-like thing?" ”
The child shook her head, her dark eyes were full of eagerness, she was young, and just wanted to open her mouth to enrich her description, a hoarse voice came from behind Li Xiruo: "Xiao Huan, what are you doing?" ”
The child shook when he heard this, and immediately shut up, Li Xiruo and Gu Minghan turned around and saw that it was Meihui who they had just met, she was very thin, her back was a little rickety, and she looked at the child with them, her face was a little angry, and she hurriedly rushed up to hug the child, glanced at Li Xiruo and the two, and immediately hugged the child and left.
Li Xiruo stood up: "It seems that they are very wary of us. ”
"The more vigilant you are, the more you have an ulterior secret, do you understand the monster that the kid described just now?"
Li Xiruo shook his head: "I only know that there are four legs, but there are many four-legged things in this world, and it is possible for the table to be cultivated." ”
Gu Minghan smiled, pointed to one place and said, "That's where they live, before Luo Fang and they can react, let's go and see first?" ”
"Hmm."
The two of them walked in that direction. This welfare home is located in the middle of nowhere, and the overall area is not large, but unexpectedly, there is a painting room and a piano here, but before I stepped in, I saw cobwebs and dust, and I knew that I hadn't used it for a long time.
What came into view again was a few bedrooms, the same as the one on the puzzle, a few simple beds, scattered with children's things everywhere, Li Xiruo saw that house, and did not feel anything special, nor did he perceive the dangerous atmosphere.
She approached the random color painting and looked at the handwriting of the children below, the children were colorful and whimsical colors, while Luo Fang and Meihui were single colors, and the following inscription was Yu Nian.
She glanced around the room, but found that Gu Minghan hadn't come in, so she hurriedly walked outside again, looking at him with a deep gaze at a dark corner.
There was the length and width of a hallway, but there were two iron doors, tightly locked and inconspicuous in the dark, but one could not help but panic when one looked at it.
Li Xiruo walked to Gu Minghan's side, she looked at the darkness in front of her, and involuntarily stepped forward, suddenly like that dream, there were abysses everywhere, making her want to move forward, but she was stumbled by the treacherous road ahead.
Gu Minghan grabbed her and made Li Xiruo turn around, Li Xiruo saw Gu Minghan's worried look in a blink of an eye, Gu Minghan frowned and said to her, "I'll go and see first." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and walked into the darkness alone.
Gu Minghan looked at the two big locks on the door, the locks were very firm, the only place to ventilate, only there was a small window in the middle, which seemed to be a feeding place.
Gu Minghan squatted down slightly, pressed the flipping iron plate with his index finger, and looked inside, he looked around within the limited viewing angle, but he didn't see anything inside. At this time, it was an empty room, but it was repaired like a prison cell, which was incomprehensible.
Li Xiruo saw that his search was fruitless, so he took a look at it, looked at two rooms in a row, and found nothing abnormal, but suddenly heard a "clang" sound, and looked back, Luo Fang held a long string of keys, touched the iron door, and looked at them with a smile.
"It's really good for the two of you to be in a good place, and you actually came here."
Li Xiruo looked at her: "We also have to investigate in all aspects, which children should be helped, and which children should not, after all, this is a public welfare project, and we must be responsible for donors." ”
Luo Fang squeezed out a smile again, didn't say what the inspection project had to do with the iron gate, and grinned a big smile and said, "Then do you need to go in and have a look?" ”
Li Xiruo and Gu Minghan glanced at each other, Luo Fang thought that they would leave after talking about this, but she didn't expect Li Xiruo to smile at her: "Okay, there is work." ”
Luo Fang was stunned for a moment, then changed his smile and slowly stepped forward to unlock the lock.
Seeing that Luo Fang was a little sluggish, Li Xiruo reminded: "It won't be too long, I forgot which key it is." ”
Seeing this, Luo Fang actually took advantage of the situation and said, "It seems that I brought the wrong key today." ”
Li Xiruo looked at the lock: "It's okay, I can open such a lock without a key." ”
Luo Fang hurriedly stopped: "Wait, I found it again." ”
She stepped forward to unlock it, pushed open the door and opened the empty room, Li Xiruo deliberately leaned against the door to make sure that there was no one behind the door.
Luo Fang smiled: "Looking at the expressions of the two, don't think that I am imprisoning the child." ”
Li Xiruo smiled: "There is nothing left, why do you have to lock it again." ”
"Before, this house was used to put some sundries, but the child was too naughty, often stumbling inside, and it was easy to get injured, so it was locked, but it was cleaned up not long ago, but it was still habitually locked."
Gu Minghan said lightly: "There is another door." ”
Luo Fang was stunned, stepped forward and unlocked the lock again, but Li Xiruo said behind the door: "I heard that the children of Xianglin Welfare Institute almost killed you. ”
Luo Fang's hand shook, the key cut a long hole in her hand, she turned her back to Li Xiruo and wiped the blood with her mouth, pushed the door open, turned around and said: "Next time there is such false news, you see it and tell me, I have to report it." ”
Li Xiruo smiled and looked into the room, it was still empty.
Luo Fang said a little angrily at this time: "You have also seen it, should we discuss the matter of funding." ”
Li Xiruo stood outside the door and didn't move, and said for a long time: "Okay." ”
As soon as she and Gu Minghan turned around, a drop of sweat dripped from the door and fell to the ground.
Luo Fang looked up at the upper eyes with warnings, she just wanted to lock the door when she saw Li Xiruo look back, panic flashed on her face, but she didn't expect Li Xiruo to just say: "Since there is nothing in the house, what else is the door locked, open up one more room, and the children also have a place to play." ”
Luo Fang smiled reluctantly this time, since the room was empty, and now she couldn't lock the door, so she had to cover the door and follow Li Xiruo and the others back to the office.
Shi Da filled in the blank over there, then couldn't help but get up and looked around, he was unlucky, he didn't come here to say a few words to Luo Fang, and he didn't see a few children in the orphanage, and the children saw that he ran faster than a rabbit.
He saw the news on the Internet, saying that when someone came here to volunteer, he heard a few strange screams, not like human screams, nor ordinary poultry and beasts, he didn't dare to stay longer, and was scared away directly, Shi Da couldn't write a good manuscript recently, so he was going to do a special topic of orphan resentment, and wanted to attract some eyeballs, he came in and looked at the eyes of those children and felt that there was a spectrum of this matter, but this Luo Fang was deliberately playing him, leaving him aside and leaving him alone, so he waited for a long time, and Shi Da had to find clues by himself.
Starr unzipped and secretly took out his camera to take a few pictures of the place, and he found that there were a lot of cobwebs in this orphanage.
He patted all the way and walked all the way forward, thinking that today's orphanage was too quiet, but he didn't know that Luo Fang deliberately let Meihui evacuate these children, locked them in a room, and did not allow them to come out to contact these people, and then picked a few more people in an attempt to perfunctory Li Xiruo and the two.
Star moved the camera to the ceiling, which was leaking, and the ceiling was already cracking, and he kept pressing the shutter with his eyes on the viewfinder, and when he pressed it, he noticed that there was something more in the viewfinder, and it was a person, with his limbs open, moving on the ceiling.
He was stunned for an instant, the moment he took off the camera, the fear in his heart was turbulent, his wrists were cold and numb, and the person moved on the ceiling, which was too beyond his cognition, and he didn't know what he was encountering.
He was just about to open his eyes and look at the ceiling, the little thing that Luo Fang raised immediately jumped out and stabbed his eyes with his paws, he stretched out his hand to block it, and when he took it down, the things on the ceiling and the strange cat were gone.
