Faced with the three-headed dog that was about to attack me, my breathing became rapid, and my nerves tensed.

I felt for the pistol in my trouser pocket, and even if I couldn't kill the dog, I could at least knock it out and run away.

But before I could draw the pistol, suddenly, the dog straightened up and pricked up its ears.

It seemed to hear something, and then it turned around and ran away the way it came.

Soon, the three-headed dog ran away and disappeared into the fog ahead.

I let out a sigh and touched the sweat on my forehead, which was already cold.

Suddenly, I heard a "woo" sound in the air again. The sound sounded like a wolf howling.

I see, the three-headed dog, should have heard this sound. Could it be that there are wolves here?

No, that could be the voice of another three-headed dog! That's right, the three-headed dog made this kind of wolf-like bark!

Could it be that there are other three-headed dogs here?

I was nervous again, but I quickly regained my composure.

I took out the map and looked at it. That's right, this is Ping'an Street, the place I walked through just now is the square, and further on, is the residential area of Ping'an Street.

However, there are so many buildings here, which one is No. 21 Ping An Street?

I can't go back because the way back has been cut off. Now, I have no choice but to go all the way until I find 21 Ping An Street, Mary's home.

I continued walking forward and looked at the houses on the side of the road.

On the left side of the road, there is no house number on it. On the right side of the road, fortunately, there is a stone number on this door with the inscription "No. 6 Ping An Street", and it seems that it is not far from Mary's house.

I kept walking, and soon, I found number 10, number 13, number 19. But strangely, some of the houses here have house numbers, some don't, and they are rarely consecutive.

Finally, I stopped in front of an apartment building that was only four stories tall. That's right, this is 21 Ping An Street.

I finally found it, and my heart, which had been tense, finally relaxed.

However, when I got to my destination, I couldn't get in because the door outside the apartment building was locked.

This apartment building is in a courtyard, and in addition to the gate of the apartment building, there is also an iron fence gate outside the courtyard. Inside this fence gate, there is also a security room on the edge of the courtyard.

Generally speaking, only that kind of large apartment building will have a separate yard and security room, this No. 21 Ping'an Street is just a lonely building, and it is only four stories high, there are these supporting things, compared to those single-door houses next to the street but directly facing the street, this apartment building is very special.

Standing on the outside of the big fence gate, I pushed it, but it was locked, and I couldn't get in from here.

I looked at the guard room behind the door, the small window was open and the lights were on, but no one seemed to be inside.

Still, I called out politely.

"Excuse me, anyone? Can you open the door for me? ”

However, after several screams, no one came out to open the door.

Obviously, the security guard of the apartment building was not inside. Perhaps, he slipped away somewhere else?

I looked up at the apartment building that looked like a terrible monster in the thick fog, and my heart sank.

Does Mary really live here? Why, strangely, was it that I was about to find Mary's home, and my heart was so heavy and worried?

However, at this point, I have come here, and there is no turning back.

I tried to find other entrances to the apartment building, but after a long time, I was still at a loss.

What to do? It's all here, can I give up halfway?

Eventually, though, I found a way to get in, and that was – through the wall.

It turned out that there was a tree right next to this wall. I climbed up the tree, standing at the branch, just enough to reach the top of the fence with my hands.

So, I made two trips and climbed up the wall.

However, when I got to the wall, I didn't dare to jump off because it was quite high above the ground.

However, after watching it for a long time, there was no place for me to buffer.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump.

I jumped off, and I didn't fall half to death, but when I jumped, my ankle twisted.

I rubbed my ankles, not daring to make a sound, but looking around warily.

The courtyard was full of dead leaves, and through the courtyard, in front of it was the door of the apartment building.

However, instead of going straight into the apartment building, I turned to the front of the yard, the security room next to the big fence gate.

I knew Mary lived in this building, but I didn't know which room she lived in. Maybe there will be a resident registration in the security room, so I'd better go there and look for it first.

So, like a thief, I tiptoed to the door of the security room.

Luckily, the door to the security room wasn't locked, and with a gentle push, I was inside.

After entering, I first observed the environment inside.

The security room is small, with a desk, a chair, a bed, and a TV. There was still paper on the wall, but it wasn't what I wanted, just a record of the security guard on duty.

I walked over to the table, and there was an old newspaper on the glass countertop.

The newspaper was indeed very old, all yellowed, and there were dots of stains on it, which looked particularly greasy. Perhaps, this newspaper is not used to read at all, but is used to wrap or padding something, perhaps, it is used to put fast food boxes, right?

I picked up this yellow, greasy newspaper because, in this paper, I saw an old photograph.

In an inconspicuous corner of this newspaper, there was an old photograph, a black-and-white photograph, similar to the one I had seen in the principal's office at the town middle school.

It's just that this photo is not a group photo of the teachers, but some children and a few adults. The children were all dressed in white clothes and blue trousers, both male and female, but they were all very young. The adults were all old women, and they were all dressed like nuns. In the back, it turned out to be a church.

Looking at the title and content again, I understood that this is a report article about the church charity orphanage in this town, and the content in it is nothing more than an introduction to how loving the nuns of this charity orphanage are, and how lovely those orphans are, which should be similar to a kind of public service announcement, right?

It's strange that there is no date on this old newspaper? Perhaps, this is just a private tabloid, right?

I was about to put down the newspaper when suddenly, in the group photo, I seemed to find a familiar face!

It was a little girl standing on the far left, and she was taller than the other children.

When I saw that face, I suddenly felt a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere?

At this time, I saw that in the half-open drawer of the desk, there seemed to be something, something like a mirror.

I opened the drawer, only to find that it was a magnifying glass. I took out my magnifying glass, looked at the photo in the newspaper, and looked at it.

Under the magnifying glass, I finally saw the girl's face clearly.

That's right, it's her, she's the girl I saw in the town middle school!

However, she in the photo doesn't look that old, that is, eight or nine years old. However, her appearance is very similar to that when she grew up, except that she looks a little immature in the photo.

Unexpectedly, this female student turned out to be an orphan?

I put down the newspaper and continued to search the room.

I opened another drawer on the desk, but I didn't find the guest registration form I was looking for. The drawer was empty, except for a pen and a blank piece of paper, a box of ink and a lighter.

I just took the lighter, maybe it will be of some use.

After looking around the security room, I still didn't find anything of value, so I had to leave.

It seemed that I could only go into the apartment building, one by one, and go door to door.

I left the security room and walked to the door of the apartment building.

However, I did not dare to rush in, but looked around. Making sure there wasn't anyone around, I pushed the door.

The door was locked from the inside. Above the door, there is also a password disk, and above the password disk, there is a box that can be used to swipe the access control card.

Obviously, I'm either going to press the password to get in or I'm going to use this access card.

I tried the auspicious number "026" and it helped me twice. This time, however, the number was not passed.

I clicked a few more passwords, but none of them were right.

Damn, how do I know this password? Also, I don't have an access card to enter the building. I didn't see this thing in the security room just now, so what can I do?

It's late at night, and there's no way I'm going to go in when the residents come out. Who will come out at this time?

After waiting for a while, I was completely dead.

So, I turned to the back of the apartment building, trying to find another entrance to the building. However, to my disappointment, the apartment building only had the front door, and it was backed by a high wall. Later, outside the courtyard was a high fence, and outside the wall, there was a thick fog.

After a big turn, I had nothing to do, and I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

I even wanted to stand downstairs and shout Mary's name.

However, when I saw this apartment building as dead and silent as a tomb, I suddenly became timid.

What to do? I finally found this place, did I just give up? Or do I wait until dawn?

Outside, it was really cold, the cold wind was blowing all the time, and it seemed that there would never be a time to wake up in the middle of the night.

I couldn't wait a night outside, I had to find a way to get into this apartment building on my own.

By the way, why don't I go back to the guard room and look for it, maybe I'm missing something? Even if I can't find it, at least, I can hide in that house to avoid the cold first, it's better than being cold here, right?

I went back to the security room, hoping to find an access card or a password.

However, the act of returning to the security room was tantamount to an adventure for me. Because, if the security guard suddenly came back and found me there, would he take me to the police station?

Once I get caught at the police station, I'll probably never want to get out of it again. Moreover, time did not allow me to make any mistakes.

I cautiously slipped back to the security room, but luckily there was still no one inside.

However, after searching in the house for a long time, I still did not find anything useful.

Here, there is no key to open the door, no access card, and no password. I even searched the ground and couldn't wait to turn every tile up, hoping to find something useful underneath. If you can find a tunnel, maybe you can get to that building, right?

It's a bit crazy for me, but now, as long as I can get into that building, I want to try everything.

I was searching, and suddenly, I heard a voice.

I thought I was hallucinating again, but when I heard it, I was terrified······
