"I'm back"
I opened the door and started yelling at the inside. I originally thought Fang Pengguang, Wu Zhicong and the others were all there, but I didn't expect that there was no one in the company at this time. I went in and looked around, but no one was at home. Maybe they went out to play somewhere again.
I had also been in the car for several hours before. I was very sore all over, so I lay on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch. About an hour later, Wu Zhicong, Fang Pengguang, Xiao Ruo and Xiao Ling came back one by one, carrying several large bags of things.
"Hey, Brother Xiaojiu, why are you back?" Fang Pengguang came in first and shouted when he saw me on the sofa. I saw the four of them coming back but I didn't see Su Daji.
"Hey, where is my sister Su? Why can't I see her?" I looked behind them and there was no one there, so Fang Pengguang said, "She, isn't she..."
"She went out to buy something," Wu Zhicong said quickly, "Why did you come back now without even calling us so we could pick you up?"
"Isn't this a surprise for you?" I saw that they didn't want to talk about Su Daji's topic, so I didn't ask any more questions and instead asked: "What are you doing? Why are you buying so many clothes?"
I looked at the big bags of clothes in their hands. There must be at least 20 to 30 pieces. Although Xiaoruo and her friends like shopping, they won't buy so many clothes.
"We bought this for Xiaoruo and Xiaoling from the orphanage. They've been acting crazy these past few days. I don't know what they're doing. They go to see those little ghosts all day long." Wu Zhicong said as he sat next to me and said, "It's mainly because we took on a business a while ago. Xiaoruo and Xiaoling from the orphanage saw that the little ghosts were all very lonely, so they went to see them every day."
"What business?" I asked Wu Zhicong casually.
Wu Zhicong also took out a cigarette and handed it to me. He also lit one for himself and said, "Speaking of which, this is really fucking weird."
"What's wrong? Shouldn't you clean up?" I asked Wu Zhicong curiously.
Wu Zhicong shook his head and looked at me with a strange look in his eyes, saying, "This happened five days ago when the director of the orphanage came to us and told us that the orphanage was haunted and asked us to go and take a look."
After listening to Wu Zhicong's words, I nodded, thought for a while and asked: "Then what if it's an ordinary ghost? You should be able to deal with it. Is it very powerful? But Xiao Ruo is here. If Xiao Ruo can't beat the ghost, you guys probably can't do anything about it either."
Wu Zhicong frowned and shook his head and said, "No, it was just an ordinary evil ghost. We could have easily dealt with it, but it escaped into a house and when we rushed in, the ghost disappeared. It truly disappeared out of thin air without even any evil spirit or evil energy."
"How is that possible?" I frowned and said, "It is also possible that what you saw was not a ghost but an illusion."
Wu Zhicong shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Brother Xiaojiu, you should know that I have the Yin-Yang Eyes. Although my Yin-Yang Eyes don't seem to have much power at ordinary times, I can still open the underworld even without cow's tears. Moreover, I am very sensitive to Yin Qi and evil spirits. There is no way I can be wrong. The evil ghost really disappeared out of thin air in that room.
I also sat up straight and asked: "Tell me the details of the situation."
Then Wu Zhicong told me about it. It was basically the same as what he told me before. After the evil ghost disappeared, they stayed for two days, waiting for the ghost to appear. But there was no movement for several days. Instead, Xiaoruo and Xiaoling liked the children in the orphanage very much and bought things for them all day long. In the end, Wu Zhicong and his friends could only define the ghost as a strange event.
"This is unusual, right? Take me to the orphanage," I said to Wu Zhicong.
Wu Zhicong nodded and turned to Fang Pengguang and the others and said, "Brother Xiaojiu and I will go to the orphanage to take a look. You guys continue to make dinner and we will be back soon."
"Okay," go back to the room quickly, Peng Guang responded from inside the kitchen.
Then I took the things in my backpack and followed Wu Zhicong out. Our destination was the First Social Welfare Institute on Yangliudian South Road, Chenghua District, Chengdu.
I have heard that this orphanage is one of the older ones in Chengdu. Wu Zhicong and I drove to the gate of the orphanage. The gate of the orphanage did not look very luxurious but rather very simple. When Wu Zhicong and I walked in, there were many little kids jumping and playing inside. It seemed to be around 4:30 at that time.
"Let's go ask the director about the situation first. What you said is so strange, so it might be a problem with your background." I said and walked into the orphanage.
"No need," Wu Zhicong suddenly said, "I asked the director, and he said he didn't know that no one had died in the orphanage in recent decades. It couldn't be the orphanage's problem. It was probably ghosts from other places.
"Really?" I nodded, and then Wu Zhicong pointed to a shabby-looking building and said, "This is the building."
I squinted my eyes and looked at the building. This building should be a product of the 1970s or 1980s. There is a big five-pointed star in the middle of the building. There are four floors in total. Each floor is very dark. However, the building seems to be quite deserted. It seems that there is no one on it.
I smiled. At this time, a woman in her forties came over. She looked like a staff member of the orphanage. I reached out and grabbed the woman and asked, "Auntie, when did this place start to be haunted? What is the specific situation?" Although Wu Zhicong had said before that I didn't need to ask, it was always good to ask about the situation.
But I didn’t expect the old lady to say coldly: “Bah, bah, bah, your house is haunted. Our orphanage has been fine for decades.” After saying that, the old lady turned around and left without paying any attention to me and Wu Zhicong.
Wu Zhicong shrugged and said to me: "This lady is probably afraid that you are a reporter." After Wu Zhicong finished speaking, he smiled.
I didn't say much. Wu Zhicong walked in front and I followed him into the building. Wu Zhicong entered the building. The decoration of the building was very poor, as if it had not been decorated at all. There was cement everywhere. Then he took me up the stairs to the fourth floor. After reaching the fourth floor, he pointed to a room on the far left and said, "This is it."
