The ruined orphanage at night has an even more eerie atmosphere than during the day.
The weather forecast said that there would be rain tonight, and before Fangzheng arrived at the orphanage, dark clouds were already covering his head.
It's not yet six o'clock in summer, but the sky has already turned black and dark.
It seems that all of this indicates something bad in advance.
Boom!
There was a thunderstorm, and it rained heavily.
Summer is a rainy season, and thunderstorms come as soon as they are said, as fast as wind and showers.
The welfare home under the heavy rain was completely dark, with shadows of trees in the yard, and the corroded and dilapidated five-story building made it look more like a desolate cemetery.
Time, 19:00.
After returning to the hotel to rest, Fangzheng, who was holding an umbrella, stood at the gate of the orphanage on time at seven o'clock in the evening.
The decayed and dilapidated iron fences and iron gates, the half iron gate on the ground, under the washing of the rain, a lot of rust was washed off by the rain, mixed with yellow, black, red and other sewage, flowing all over the ground...even in the air, Both bring a very depressing, very heavy rust smell.
It made people's nose feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's raining...It's really troublesome to travel in rainy days...Fortunately, I have an umbrella when I go out..."
It's annoying when it rains when I go out.
Fangzheng stood at the gate of the abandoned orphanage, talking to himself, when he stepped through the half iron gate that fell on the ground, walked through the overgrown yard, and entered the abandoned building of the orphanage to look for the missing Professor Tao, Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from behind him.
Fangzheng looked back, he seemed to be an off-duty worker hiding from the rain, and came running in the rain. When he saw the building of the orphanage, he seemed to hesitate, and then ran towards the building of the orphanage.
After passing Fangzheng, he ran into the orphanage. When he ran past Fangzheng, he looked at Fangzheng curiously, perhaps wondering why there was a person standing still at the entrance of the orphanage.
The man stepped on the rain, ran into the orphanage in embarrassment, stood on the steps with Fang Zheng to shelter from the rain, and did not enter the abandoned building. The office worker even greeted Fang Zheng politely.
At this moment, what Fangzheng was thinking was, could the person on the third floor of the orphanage last night be this ordinary-looking office worker
Although the other party looked like a very ordinary office worker, Fang Zheng saw that anyone might be suspected at this time.
However, the traces in the room on the third floor look like a gathering of many people...
Just as Fangzheng was thinking, the hurried footsteps of several people stepping on the puddles of the road broke the calm of the rainy night and ran towards the orphanage.
From where Fangzheng was standing, he could just see the road across the intersection from the gate of the orphanage. He saw a few people wearing raincoats and flashlights running from the opposite side of the intersection, and ran straight to the orphanage.
There are two men and two women in total, and they all look very young.
"Hey, there are two people here... Are you here to shelter from the rain?"
The four of them ran into the abandoned building and began to take off their raincoats. It was raining too much outside, and they inevitably got a little wet. A girl with a tallest figure among the four came over with a flashlight and asked curiously.
There were six more people here, and the originally desolate orphanage immediately became more popular and lively.
Looking at the few people in front of him, Fangzheng felt that the light in the room on the third floor last night was probably the last four people who appeared.
Fangzheng tentatively asked these people why they came to this abandoned orphanage at night
The girl who spoke first was extroverted and talkative. Through self-introduction, I got to know her name, Ye Nan.
Ye Nan took off his raincoat and shook the rainwater from the raincoat, and said chattyly, "The four of us are all students from a nearby university."
"I formed a club. I am the president of the club. People in the club are tired of ordinary and boring life. They feel that life is like a walking dead. They just live in eating, sleeping, classrooms, and classes every day. They don't know that people are alive. What is the meaning, so looking for excitement and loving adventure has always been the founding spirit of the club.”
"For example, horror story clubs, the second exploration of the death scene, when studying and free time, we will also organize everyone in the club to go on excursions, outdoor adventures, and find materials for folk supernatural stories, etc. We are not just horror Story gatherings or adventures in deep mountains and old forests, as long as they meet the excitement and adventure points of young people today, they are all the interests and hobbies of our club."
After Fang Zheng listened to the club's introduction, he couldn't help but take another look at the female president in front of him: "You guys are really courageous, but I'm a little curious, how could your school let you establish a university club like yours?"
This club is clearly a death club.
There's also a bit of an anti-human theme.
No need to think about it, the school will definitely not allow such a club to be established.
Ye Nan didn't evade, and said generously: "Our club can only be regarded as a private communication awakening. It is usually a group of lovers with common interests, and communicates and organizes activities through the group."
Fangzheng nodded.
He probably knows the situation of this society.
"The theme of our club activity this time is to spend seven nights safely in the abandoned building of the orphanage that was burnt to ruins by a fire ten years ago. It is reported that many people died. This time the challenge It's called 'Escape to Christmas Eve'."
"If you add today, it happens to be the fifth night we spent safely in the orphanage. In fact, at the beginning, nine club members signed up to participate, and they were gradually eliminated. The timid ones took the initiative to be out. After the people who couldn’t come because of these factors, now there are only four people left, Zhu Ziming, Li Juanjuan, and Zhang Hua.”
Ye Nan told the reason why they came to the orphanage at night.
Fangzheng nodded.
Only nine people signed up at first.
It shows that there are not many people in this club. The most important thing is that there are far more normal people than lunatics.
Come to the abandoned orphanage at night to test your courage. This is not a group of lunatics. Shouldn't a normal person stay comfortably at home in such a heavy rain, sheltering from the wind and rain
"Where did you spend the night in the orphanage for the past few days? Is it in the lobby on this floor?" Fangzheng asked for details.
The flashlight in Ye Nan's hand looked dark, and it was the lobby on the first floor where the sundries and trash cans were overturned. This surprisingly courageous female college student's eyes were beating with excitement: "On the first floor The lobby is not challenging, and we have lost our original intention of organizing this event. Have you read the news reports ten years ago, and do you know which room is the most crowded in the orphanage?"
"Which room?"
"The third floor, the one near the west corridor."
The location Ye Nan mentioned happened to be the same location as the brightly lit room that Sun Yushu saw last night.
It really was these people.
