Floyd's former residence is deep in Thyssen Lane.
Angel looked into the alley. It was clear that it was broad daylight, and this not-so-narrow alley was very depressed, and no one was seen.
Angel took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it to the young boy who led the way.
The little boy was the guy who came to ask for a way out after they entered Bolai Town and saw that they were outsiders. Judging from the clothes, it should be a poor family.
Angel originally planned to let Floyd come out to lead the way, but after thinking about it, he might as well go and see the situation first. So he hired the young man in front of him to guide him.
After giving the salary, Angel was ready to send the boy away.
However, after receiving the heavy gold coins, the boy's eyes showed joy. This is the first time the teenager has encountered such a generous foreigner. He originally planned 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 evacuated recently, if you are looking for someone , it's best to go to the civil affairs office to check."
"Evacuate?" Angel's footsteps, who had already walked in, suddenly stopped.
Angel looked at each other curiously: "Why did you evacuate?"
"This..." The young man hesitated for a moment, glanced at the wealth in his hand, which was enough to keep him safe for a year, and said, "The mayor has already issued a seal on the insider. However, for the sake of the adult's generosity, I can talk to the adults quietly."
After the young man finished speaking, he looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and then he whispered: "Actually, I don't know much, these are all I heard from some drinkers. By the way, my name is Song. , as a sommelier at the White Wave Tavern at night."
After Song introduced himself, he began to tell the story of why Thyssen Lane was evacuated.
There is an abandoned orphanage at the end of Thyssen Lane. Usually no one enters it. It was designated by the mayor in the construction plan of the later period of the university. However, due to the problem of funds and the remote location, the construction has been delayed. A delay, is more than ten years. There was nothing unusual about the orphanage at first, but it was suddenly included in the construction project two years ago, and a construction team began to explore the orphanage.
This exploration, the accident came out.
"You said the orphanage is haunted?" Angel raised his eyebrows and asked.
Song nodded: "Absolutely right, although I haven't experienced it myself, but those drinkers say it with certainty. I heard that people from the construction team saw the shadow of evil spirits, and they were all terrifying ghosts... And a lot of them died. People. Later, nearby residents 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, this alley is almost abandoned Yes, even homeless people don't want to live there."
Angel made an "oh" and touched his chin: Floyd 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?" Angel asked politely when he saw that Song didn't leave.
Song dazedly shook his head: "No more."
"If it's gone, then I'll leave. Thank you for telling the story. The story is very interesting." Angel narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly. By the way, he rubbed his loose hair and turned to leave.
Song hadn't had time to flatten his hair. Seeing that Angel was going inside, he quickly said, "Sir, are you still going to Thyssen Lane? Don't you... Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid of a lot of things, but I'm not afraid of evil spirits." Angel did not pause, and continued to walk deep into Thyssen Lane, but his voice steadily entered Song's ears.
Song was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Angel meant. However, looking at the figures of Angel and Dulu, the further they went, Song took off his somewhat worn hats and gave Angel a hat salute from a distance. Then, turn around and walk towards the center of the town.
Halfway through, he suddenly remembered one more thing about Thyssen Lane.
Half a year ago, the Royal Knights of the Central Empire came to Bolai Town. It is said that they were dealing with the haunted orphanage in Thyssen Lane. However, it seems to have withdrawn immediately afterward? He couldn't remember either.
Song whispered to himself: "This matter shouldn't be too important, it doesn't matter if you say it or not... Also, that adult shouldn't be going to the orphanage to die, right?"
At this time, Angel was standing in front of a rusted curved iron gate.
On the wall next to the iron gate, there was a crumbling iron card, and the dusty iron card was brushed off by Angel's hand.
The dust fell, and a row of gray characters on a black background appeared in the center of the iron plate.
The first word has been completely rusted away, followed by "Dream Orphanage".
This orphanage should be where Floyd once stayed. However, according to Floyd, he was not an orphan, and the reason why he once lived here was because his father was the head of the orphanage.
"Lord Pat, what are you doing here?" Duru looked curiously into the orphanage through the crack of the fence.
Smoke and grass, there is a backlog of dust everywhere.
The trees that have not been trimmed are extremely lush, blocking all sunlight, making the entire orphanage look a little dark even in the daytime.
The wooden horses and slides where children play are also covered by dirt. The building in the distance is pitch-black, with mottled green algae on the walls.
"I'm here to find something." Angel didn't hide it. Although the dream conch is a mysterious thing, its actual value is not high. Thirty years ago, only 10,000 magic crystals were sold at the Sky Auction. When he said it 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 Meng Conch.
Dulu said "Oh", and did not continue to ask deeply, but followed behind Angel obediently. He also noticed the iron plate on the wall at this time: "Hey, this should be the name of the orphanage, but one word is missing, what is the dream orphanage? The beautiful dream orphanage, or the fantasy orphanage?"
Angel stretched out his hand and pushed open the unlocked iron gate. As he walked in, he responded to Dulu's doubts along the way.
"The name of the orphanage is called - Dream." Angel recalled what Floyd said before: "However, before the orphanage was abandoned, the dean called it the Dream Orphanage, but the people in the orphanage But it's called... a nightmare orphanage."
"Nightmare Orphanage. It sounds like a lot of resentment." Dulu frowned, having an inexplicable disgust for this title.
"There is a lot of resentment, and a lot of people have died. However, the world is like this, where there is sunshine, there is darkness. Under the beautiful picture, there must be malicious shadows." Angel sighed softly, comparing Since Drew, he knew more about the Nightmare Orphanage and felt more unpredictable about human nature.
The two stepped into the field full of weeds one after the other.
Standing in the shade of the tree, Du Lugang felt a cold aura lingering around him, and shivered unconsciously.
"Sir, it looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time. Is there really the evil spirit that kid just said in it?"
Angel closed his eyes and felt for a moment: "Although there is a little residual coldness, I don't feel malicious. Even if there is a soul, it probably hasn't fallen."
"That's good, that's good." When Dulu heard the news, he relaxed a little.
Angel added: "Even if you don't degenerate into an undead, the soul body itself can do evil. Maybe the construction workers mentioned by Song were killed by the soul here."
When Dulu heard this, he was a little scared again. The whole body was shocked, and a thin mist of water covered his body.
"You mist, it's just mist, no threat. It can't be used as a weapon, nor can it be used for defense. You released it to scare evil spirits?" Angel glanced at it and joked.
Dulu nodded like a garlic: "Just to scare and tell those who are spying on me in the dark... I'm not easy to mess with."
Angel burst into laughter, not judging Dulu's behavior. However, Du Luneng can go from a small piece of water mist to the water mist covering the entire upper body in a short period of time, which shows that he has a strong control over the water system.
And this was done before Dulu became an apprentice, as evidenced by his talent in the water system.
Soon, they came to the small building of the orphanage. The three-story building continues the consistent style of Bolai Town, but it is not as bright and elegant as the buildings outside, and it is a bit more gloomy and bleak.
When Dulu was still hesitating whether to step in, Angel had already stepped into it.
Dulu could only follow.
The corridor was very dark, and Dulu took out the fluorite lighting, but the faint green light of the fluorite made the corridor full of dust and cobwebs even more eerie.
"My lord, where are you going now?" Dulu asked shiveringly.
"basement."
Angel came to the utility room behind the stairs according to the position indicated by Floyd. As soon as the door was opened, dust flew out.
"Didn't you say go to the basement? Why did you come to the utility room?" Duru raised the fluorite and asked according to the small cubicle full of various clutter.
Angel did not answer, but frowned for a long time without speaking.
"Sir, 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 behind you..."
Dulu followed Angel's instructions and looked back.
Immediately met a cold eye. Dulu's frightened heart thumped suddenly, and he took a few steps back, but finally he couldn't hold back and fell to the ground.
Angel looked speechless: "A doll can scare you, don't think about being in the wizarding world if you are so cowardly."
It was only then that Dulu noticed that he was looking at a red-dressed doll on a pile of rubbish. However, under the faint green fluorescent light, the doll's originally grinning face looked a bit evil and hideous.
Truton choked his saliva: "Uh, I didn't pay attention just now, and I definitely won't next time."
Angel didn't bother to pay attention to Dulu's assurance, pointed to the doll and said, "There is obviously a difference in the dust accumulation on the doll's coat. Someone has touched the doll."
As Angel said, he picked up the doll.
A dusty wall lamp on the wall behind the doll was exposed. He turned the handle of the wall lamp at will, only to hear a click, and a dark hole appeared on the floor beside Dulu.
"The basement is below..." Angel pondered.
According to Floyd, he put the dream conch in the basement. But someone has been to the basement recently. Will anyone else know about the Dream Conch
Angel walked with doubts and stepped onto the dark stairs that could not be seen at a glance.
