Section 811 Nightmare Orphanage
Flode's former home is deep in Thyssen Lane.
Angels looked into the alley, and it was obviously daylight, and the alley, which was not too narrow, was very depressed, and no one was seen.
Angel took a gold coin out of his pocket and tossed it to the young boy who led the way.
The little boy was the guy who took the initiative to come to beg for a living after they entered Bolai Town, seeing that they were outsiders. Judging by the dress, it should be a poor family.
Angel originally planned to let Frode come out and lead the way, but then he thought about it, it was better to go and see the situation first. So he hired the young man in front of him to guide him.
Given the hired money, Ingres prepared to send the boy away.
However, after receiving the generous amount of gold coins, the young man's eyes showed joy. Such a generous outsider, it was the first time the teenager had encountered it. He was going to take the money and leave, but the other party gave such a large amount, he hesitated for a moment and stopped Angel: "Sir, the residents of Thyssen Lane have been completely emptied recently, if you want to find someone, it is best to go to the civil affairs to check." ”
"Evacuate?" Ingres, who was already walking inside, suddenly paused.
Angel looked at each other curiously: "Why did you move out?"
"This ......" The young man hesitated for a moment, glanced at the wealth in his hand that was enough to make him worry about food and clothing for a year, and said, "The mayor of the town has given a gag order to the insider. However, for the sake of such generosity, I can whisper to you. ”
The young man said, looked left and right, made sure that there was no one around, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't know much, these are all I heard from some drinkers." By the way, my name is Song, and I work as a bartender at the Bailang Tavern at night. ”
After introducing himself, Pine began to tell the story of why Thyssen Lane was emptied.
There is an abandoned orphanage at the end of Thyssen Lane, which is usually unentered, and has been drawn by the mayor in the later construction plan, but because of the problem of money and the remote location, it has been delayed and has not started. One delay, it is more than ten years. Originally, there was nothing unusual about the orphanage, but two years ago, it was suddenly included in the construction project, and a construction team began to explore the orphanage.
This exploration, the accident came out.
"You say the orphanage is haunted?" Ingres asked, raising an eyebrow.
Song nodded: "Absolutely, although I have not experienced it myself, those drinkers are convincing." I heard that the people of the construction team saw the shadows of evil spirits, and they were all terrifying ghost babies...... And a lot of people died. Later, the residents of the neighborhood could hear the voices of children from the orphanage from time to time at night, so in order to save their lives, the people of Thyssen Lane moved out one after another. Today, the alley is almost abandoned, and even homeless people don't want to live there. ”
Angel let out an "oh" and touched his chin: Flot had said before that he used to live in an orphanage.
If there is no accident, it is probably the orphanage that Song said.
"Is it gone?" Ingres asked politely when he saw that Song had not left.
Shake his head in a daze: "It's gone." ”
"If it's gone, then I'll take my leave. Thank you for the telling, the story is interesting. Angel squinted and smiled faintly. By the way, he rubbed his loose hair and turned to leave.
Before Song could flatten his hair, when he saw that Angel was still going inside, he hurriedly said, "Sir, do you still want to go to Thyssen Lane......?" Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid of a lot of things, but I'm not afraid of evil spirits. Ingres didn't pause, and continued to walk deeper into Thyssen Lane, but his voice came steadily into Song's ears.
I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Angels meant. However, looking at the figures of Ingres and Duru, walking farther and farther, Song took off his somewhat shabby hat and saluted Ingres from a distance. Then, turn around and walk towards the center of town.
Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something else about Thyssen Lane.
Half a year ago, the Royal Knights of the Middle Empire had come to Bollai Town, supposedly to deal with the haunted orphanage in Thyssen Lane. However, it seems that he just withdrew, and he couldn't remember.
Song muttered to himself: "This matter shouldn't be too important, it doesn't matter if you say it or not...... Besides, that adult shouldn't run to the orphanage as if he died, right?"
At this time, Ingres was standing in front of a rusty curved iron gate.
On the wall next to the iron gate, there was a crumbling iron card, and the dusty iron card was wiped off by Ingres's outstretched hand.
The dust fell, and a row of gray characters on a black background appeared in the center of the iron plaque.
The first word has been completely rusted, followed by "Dream Orphanage".
This orphanage is supposed to be where Froud once stayed. However, according to Flod, he was not an orphan, and lived here only because his father was the director of the orphanage.
"Lord Pat, what are you doing here?" Duru curiously peered through the crack in the fence door into the orphanage.
There is smoke and grass everywhere, and there is a backlog of dust everywhere.
The trees, which no one had pruned, grew so luxuriantly that they blocked out all the sunlight and made the whole orphanage look a little dark even in the daytime.
The wooden horses and slides that the children were playing with were also covered with dirt. The building in the distance was pitch black, with mottled green algae on the walls.
"I'm looking for something. "Ingres didn't hide it, although the dream conch is a mysterious thing, its actual value is not high. More than thirty years ago, at the Sky Auction, only 10,000 magic crystals were sold. Speaking generously, Angel didn't think anyone would snatch it from him.
After all, from the current point of view, his own value is far greater than that of Dream Conch.
Duru let out an "oh" and did not continue to ask questions, but obediently followed behind Angel. At this time, he also noticed the iron sign on the wall: "Hey, this should be the name of the orphanage, but there is one word missing, what dream orphanage?
Ingres stretched out his hand and pushed open the unlocked iron gate, answering Deruw's doubts as he walked inside.
"The name of the orphanage is called Dream. Ingres recalled what Froude had said: "However, before the orphanage was abandoned, the director called it the Sweet Dream Orphanage, but the people in the orphanage called it ...... Nightmare Orphanage. ”
"Nightmare Orphanage. It sounded like it was full of resentment. Durrous frowned, and there was an inexplicable sense of disgust at the title.
"There is a lot of resentment, and a lot of people have died. However, this is the way it is in the world, where there is sunshine there is darkness. Underneath the beautiful picture, there must be a shadow of malice. Ingres sighed softly, he knew more about the Nightmare Orphanage than Drew, and he felt that human nature was more unpredictable.
The two of them stepped into this grassy realm one after the other.
As soon as Duru stood in the shade of the tree, he felt a cold aura around him, and he shivered unconsciously.
"My lord, this place looks abandoned for a long time, is there really the evil spirit that the kid just said about in it?"
Angels closed his eyes and sensed for a moment: "Although there is a little residual cold aura, I don't feel malice. Even if there is a soul, it probably hasn't fallen yet. ”
"That's good, that's good. When Duru heard the news, he relaxed a little.
Ingres added: "Even if you don't degenerate into an undead, the soul body itself can do evil." Perhaps, the builders that Song spoke of were killed by the souls here. ”
When Durroux heard this, he was a little frightened again. With a shock, a thin mist of water covered him.
"You mist is just mist and no threat. It can't be used as a weapon or defense, and you're setting it out to scare evil spirits?" Ingres glanced at and teased.
Duru nodded like garlic: "Just scare and tell those who are watching me in secret...... I'm not easy to mess with. ”
Ingres laughed for a while, not judging Deruux's behavior for good or bad. However, in a short period of time, Duru can go from a small piece of water mist to a water mist covering the entire upper body, which shows that he has a strong control over the water system.
And this was done before Duru became an apprentice, and his talent for water can be seen.
Soon, they came to the small building of the orphanage. The three-storey building continues the consistent style of Bolai Town, but it is not as bright and elegant as the buildings outside, and it is a little more gloomy.
While Deru was still hesitating to step in, Ingres had already stepped inside.
Duru could only follow.
The corridor was very dark, and Duru took out the fluorite lighting, but the faint green light of the fluorite made the corridor covered with dust and cobwebs even more weird.
"My lord, where are you going now?" asked Duru, a little trembling.
"Basement. ”
Ingres followed the position that Froud had pointed out earlier, and went to the utility room behind the stairs. As soon as I pushed the door open, dust flew out.
"Didn't you say go to the basement? Duru asked, holding the fluorite up and looking at the cubicle full of miscellaneous items.
Ingres didn't answer, but frowned and remained silent for a long time.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
"Someone seems to have been here recently. Angel was silent for a moment, "There was too little dust flying out just now, and you look at the ...... behind you."
Durrous followed Ingres' instructions and looked back.
Immediately met a cold eye. Duru's frightened heart thumped, and he took several steps back, but finally he couldn't hold back and fell to the ground.
Ingres was speechless: "A doll can scare you, don't think about mixing in the wizarding world." ”
It was only then that Durrou noticed that it was a red-dressed doll that was staring at him on a pile of garbage. However, in the faint green glow, the doll's originally grinning face looked a little evil and hideous.
Duru choked on his saliva: "Uh, I didn't pay attention just now, and I definitely won't next time." ”
Ingres didn't bother to pay attention to Durle's assurances, and pointed to the doll and said, "There is obviously a difference in the dust on the doll's coat, someone has touched this doll." ”
Ingres said as he picked up the doll.
A dusty wall lamp on the wall behind the doll was revealed, and he casually turned the grip of the wall lamp, only to hear a click, and a dark hole was revealed on the floor beside Duru.
"Down there's the basement......," Angels mused.
According to Flaude, he kept the Dream Conch in the basement. But someone has been to the basement recently, will anyone else know about the dream conch?
Ingres walked with doubts and stepped up the dark staircase with no bottom in sight.
