Standing at the door of the orphanage, the wind blowing on my back, I couldn't help but shiver.

But I also know that this is my psychological effect, and I subconsciously feel that something is wrong with this orphanage, so I instinctively think it is weird.

At this time, Kanazawa patted me lightly on the shoulder, and then walked in, I followed closely, and when I stepped into the orphanage, I saw the sign of the orphanage, Xiangyang Orphanage.

Seeing the sign of the 'Xiangyang' orphanage, I couldn't help but think of the words that Bai Ye said to me before, 'If the heart is sunny, there is no need to be sad', although I know that this must be a coincidence, but I still can't help but tense my nerves, because when there are too many coincidences, it will be compiled into a big net of conspiracy, shrouded in my heart.

Kanazawa walked quickly, I could see the anxiety in his heart, and I followed him at the same time, my eyes were also rolling, I saw that although this orphanage is not very conspicuous from the outside, but the area inside is still quite large, catching up with the area of a middle school, which is rare in the orphanage, it seems that it has really been sponsored by a local tyrant like Bao Dafa.

The orphanage is fully equipped and is a self-operated educational growth model, and buildings such as amusement parks and classrooms exist, and they are quite tall, and it looks like they have been newly built in recent years. However, there is a bit of a strangeness, even a strangeness, that there are several buildings in this orphanage that look particularly old, and can even be described as ancient. Somehow, when I look at these old houses, I feel a cold feeling in my heart, as if I am looking at small cemeteries, these old houses really remind me of those paper houses burned for the dead.

Kanazawa, on the other hand, went straight to the old house in the deepest part of the country.

So I couldn't help but ask Kanazawa: "Kanazawa, this orphanage is quite strange, why are there a few houses so old, what kind of cultural relics and antiques?" ”

Kanazawa shook his head slightly and said, "No, there are several forbidden places in our orphanage, and no one is allowed to enter, this is an order that everyone must abide by, and it must not be broken, and it is also some shadows of our childhood." Now, after all these years, this order is still there. The dean is an old scholar who understands feng shui, although this is a feudal superstition, but everyone respects him very much, so he must be following his wishes and not destroying and rebuilding these buildings. ”

So I continued to ask curiously, "What is this forbidden place?" Is it really that evil? ”

Kanazawa said: "This is just an exaggeration, but after all, it is to scare our children, some things once the psychological shadow is established in childhood, it is deep-rooted, anyway, I remember that when I was a child, there were children who did hang themselves in the forbidden place, and this is also the reason why the forbidden place has become more and more evil, in fact, it is just a coincidence, the more withdrawn and autistic children in their hearts, the more they have the desire to explore, like to come to this kind of place, and even choose death here." And I also secretly went to the so-called forbidden land when I was a child, and nothing terrible happened. ”

Then I nodded, and followed Kanazawa into the deepest part of the old building, where I learned that this was the old dean's office.

Although it was late at night, after Kanazawa knocked on the door, the old dean quickly opened the door. He was an old man over the age of six, with gray temples, but he looked in good spirits, and he didn't seem to be sleeping yet. Although I know that many old people get up very early, I have never seen such a good spirit like the old dean who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night.

The old dean obviously knew Kanazawa, and admired Kanazawa very much, so he immediately smiled lovingly at Kanazawa and welcomed Kanazawa back, which also saw that even if Kanazawa went to work in X City later, he should still take the time to go back to the orphanage in N City and come back to have a look.

And when the old dean saw me, his eyes clearly crossed a trace of strange eyes, and he stared at me motionlessly, which made my heart furious. After all, Kanazawa said that the old man was playing feng shui, although I didn't believe in that thing, but I felt uncomfortable being stared at like this by others after all.

"Dean Hu, this is a friend of mine from the Police Academy, and he was working on a case recently, and there happened to be a place where we needed the cooperation of our orphanage, so I brought him over and didn't disturb Dean Hu, right?" Kanazawa quickly asked the old dean gently.

The old dean then withdrew his gaze from me, and said at the same time: "Since we are Xiaojin's friends, there is nothing to disturb, if there is anything that needs our cooperation, I will definitely cooperate." ”

So Kanazawa glanced at me, and I knew that he had something to say that it was inconvenient to ask in person, so I took on the role.

Then I asked the old dean directly: "Dean Hu, is there an orphan in our orphanage who was scalded by boiling water and the skin on his back was burned?" ”

Hearing my question, the old dean closed his eyes and pondered, as if searching for memory.

I hurriedly added: "This orphan should be about the same age as Kanazawa, and if you can't remember, you can take us to the archives department to check the information." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Kanazawa's phone rang suddenly, and then he picked it up.

After answering the phone, Jin Ze's face was solemn, and then he immediately said to me: "Chen Mu, Team Leader Fang suddenly came to me, there is something very important, let me rush back immediately, you can handle the case independently, right?" ”

I nodded and asked Kanazawa to get busy, and Kanazawa also told the old dean a few words before leaving, asking him to cooperate with me as much as possible, saying that it was his personal request from Kanazawa, and Kanazawa would definitely come to thank him again another day.

When Kanazawa left, the old dean suddenly stared at me again, and his eyes were the same as before, staring at me in the hair.

So I took a deep breath and said directly to the old dean: "Dean Hu, tell me about the information of the person who was burned, this case is more important, and there is no delay." ”

The old dean said directly: "There is no need to go to the archives department to check, there is indeed such a person, but he is dead, and his death is very bizarre, so even after so many years, I am still deeply impressed." ”

My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and I hurriedly asked the old dean, "Huh? He's dead? Died years ago? ”

The old dean nodded, so I asked the old dean when exactly he died and how he died.

At this time, the old dean suddenly said to me: "When the time comes, I have to eat supper first, and I will tell you more about it after eating." ”

After saying that, the old dean went straight into the depths of the room, and soon he brought out a hot water kettle, and took out two dishes and chopsticks, which were neatly placed on the table.

Then the old dean poured two bowls of food into the two bowls, not simply boiling water, but dark brown sticky, and I don't know what kind of food it was soaked.

I wasn't hungry, and I had no appetite for this thing, so I said directly to the old dean: "Dean Hu, I don't have the habit of eating supper so late, I can't eat with you, you can eat by yourself." ”

But as soon as I finished speaking, the old dean suddenly glared at me with a fierce look in his eyes, and then he said to me, "This bowl is not for you." ”

After speaking, the old dean sat down at the table and ate, and at the same time said to the other bowl and chopsticks: "Little resentment, eat." ”

Listening to the old dean's words, my whole body was creepy, where is there a third person here, where is there any small grudge?

To be honest, I was really scared at the time, because I heard that there are people who raise little ghosts, so they will put an extra pair of empty dishes and chopsticks when they eat.

But I quickly dispelled this thought, and at this time, the old dean who was in awe of Kanazawa would not have a problem, and even if there were, I couldn't say. So I pretended not to understand and twisted my head to the side by myself.

When I saw that the contents of that bowl had not decreased, I was relieved, there is no invisible imp in the world.

At this time, the old dean suddenly said to me again: "Officer Chen, right? Now let's talk about the orphan who was burned, before talking about the orphan, I have to first popularize a knowledge for you, in fact, our Xiangyang Orphanage, to be precise, is not an orphanage but an orphan's grievance, the grievance of the spirit. ”

The old dean's voice was very dry, and I heard it in my heart.

And the old dean quickly continued: "There is a resentful spirit in the orphanage, an evil resentful spirit, which lives by sucking the resentment and evil thoughts of the orphans. ”

Naturally, I didn't believe what the old dean said, but I wasn't too embarrassed to mock him to his face.

But at this time, the old dean suddenly took out a stack of things from his arms, and said: "I know you don't believe it, I'll let you see some things now, in our orphanage, we regularly take group photos of some orphans, but we often take pictures of an orphan who doesn't exist, and that orphan is this resentful spirit." I didn't tell the orphans in the orphanage about it, because whoever knows will die. But you're not an orphan in our orphanage, so that's why I'm telling you this. ”

I didn't believe his words, but I couldn't help but think of the old photo in the grave, which was missing a small half, and now it seems that it was really the old dean who tore that piece off in order to hide the resentful spirit that was inexplicably photographed?

Just wondering, the old dean handed me the stack of things, which had indeed been torn from some photographs.

I took a look under my nose, and after reading it, my heart trembled violently, my scalp instantly went numb, and the whole person was creepy.

Grass, I recognized the person in these photos at a glance, it was the same person, and he was exactly the same as my childhood, which means that he could be me!
