Mu Qin suddenly understood something, and he said in horror: "As far as I know, Tarot cards have a distinction between upright and reverse. When the cards are upright, they have positive meanings, and when the cards are upside down, they have negative meanings. Foreign fortune tellers I like to use this kind of thing to test people's fate and luck."
Han Li also understood this time, and suddenly reached out and took the upside-down Fool card in Mu Qin's hand and threw it on the ground, saying with a look of displeasure: "Anyway, just throw away this kind of bad card, I don't want the head office!"
Qiu Zijia seemed to have found a chance to laugh at Han Li, and he laughed maliciously: "Many item cards in the game are bound, you can't just throw them if you want, if there is binding in this killing game, even if you throw them If you drop it, the card will still come back to you unknowingly."
"Fart." Han Li glared at Qiu Zijia, she threw the upside-down fool's card under her feet, and then stomped on it a few times.
Afterwards, the four people continued to search the orphanage with an optimistic and careless attitude. They mainly searched in the apartment area where the children lived in the orphanage. I checked the laundry room and other places one by one.
They found nothing in the safekeeping room where the keys were most likely to be stored, but rows of empty, rusty cabinets.
Because it is an abandoned building, there is basically nothing left in the rooms here. Unused tables, chairs, and boards are piled up in the corners, rotten and moldy, and they will break if you step on them. There are also some children's clothes scattered on the ground, covering the A thick layer of dust.
A large area of the wall peeled off, and many black water stains were left on the ceiling due to flooding and other reasons. There were dilapidated and deserted scenes everywhere, but the magic is that the power system is still operating normally in an orphanage that has been abandoned. Qin and the others could still turn on the lights in the room.
It’s just that the lights are too dark, turning on the lights is like not turning on, and some lights are still flickering because of disrepair, which makes such a desolate ghost place even more eerie, making people feel like they are in some terrible horror movie. world.
Exploring such a dark and terrifying place, Mu Qin and the big men are okay, but Han Li, who is a woman, can't bear it, so when Mu Qin and the others walked to the second floor to continue exploring, Han Li told Qiu Zijia and Mu Qin Qin said: "You continue to check, how about I wait for you in the corridor?"
This sentence made Qiu Zijia firmly opposed: "We cannot be separated, we must act together."
"But those rooms are too depressing." Han Li shook her head and stood firm, she held her chest and looked breathless, "I don't want to go in, I feel like I can't breathe, at worst I will follow you to the door of each room, you guys Search in the room, I stand at the door of the room and wait, by the way, I can watch the wind... If something comes over, I can remind you as soon as possible."
When Han Li said this, several people thought it was good. After several discussions, they agreed to Han Li's request. After that, they came to the second floor of the apartment area, which seemed to be the children's activity room. There are small concert halls, small recreation rooms, and dollhouses where these orphans can play.
Qiu Zijia first opened the door of the activity room, walked in two steps, took a look and said to Mu Qin, "This orphanage is quite well equipped with everything you need."
Mu Qin also went in and took a look. This activity room should be reserved for younger and older children. There are table tennis tables and some sports facilities, but these facilities are almost rotten.
Han Li waited at the door as agreed in advance. After searching, they found that there were not many valuable things, so they withdrew and continued to search the next toy house.
The dollhouse is completely reserved for the very young children. The floor is specially laid with wooden floors, and there are colorful patchwork carpets. It is filled with all kinds of toys. It is a paradise for children.
However, due to abandonment, this dollhouse is dilapidated, the wooden floor creaks when stepped on, the patchwork carpet seems to have been burned, and it is scorched black, and all the toys are damaged... It seems that they were damaged by human violence. Dolls or building blocks were smashed to pieces under violent blows.
As soon as the light was turned on, all the unrecognizable toys were piled up in the corner. A teddy bear with only one eye left and a lot of gray-black cotton protruding from its stomach was sitting on the top of the toy pile. Its angle made its head face the Looking at Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and others who entered the door, it seemed to be watching them silently with the remaining eyes.
This little bear sitting silently on the top of the toy pile seemed to startle Qiu Zijia, and Qiu Zijia suddenly looked angry and said: "Which bastard piled up the toys like this! I was shocked!"
Mu Qin glanced at Qiu Zijia, disapproving: "It's just a bunch of toys..."
Qiu Zijia emphasized: "You don't understand, what scares me is not the toys, but the atmosphere!"
Mu Qin was still a little puzzled, he just felt that this pile of tattered toys brought back some rare memories in him.
Mu Qin was also an orphan before and stayed in the orphanage. Although he didn't stay for long, he grew up there until he was about three years old before being taken away by his adoptive parents.
Now Mu Qin can't remember what happened when he was three years old. There are only some fragments, such as the little bear puppet in front of him... Mu Qin remembers that when he was in the orphanage, whenever he cried, someone would hold him. Put a bear doll similar to this one in front of him to coax him.
Thinking of this, Mu Qin couldn't help stepping forward, wanting to take down the bear puppet from the toy pile to have a look, but someone was one step faster than Mu Qin.
Cheng Guoxu, who had been silent behind Mu Qin, suddenly stretched out his hand and took the little bear away first.
Mu Qin was shocked by Cheng Guoxu's sudden action, he was dumbfounded for a moment, turned his head to look at Guoxu, and found that Cheng Guoxu was holding the little bear puppet in his hand and observing carefully.
After observing for a while, Cheng Guoxu raised his head and said to Mu Qin: "These... are toys produced in the toy factory where I work."
What Cheng Guoxu said made Qiu Zijia, who was frightened beside him, also reacted. He leaned his head to look at the bear doll in Cheng Guoxu's hand, and asked, "You mean this bear? Is it produced by your factory?"
"It's not just this bear." Cheng Guoxu said and turned his head to look at the pile of toys piled up there. The toys that come out have the factory's unique stamp on them, and I can recognize them at a glance."
Cheng Guoxu uttered a long series of words, Qiu Zijia listened carefully, and thoughtfully said: "Then this matter is interesting."
Mu Qin didn't understand what Qiu Zijia meant, so he asked him, "What's interesting?"
Qiu Zijia replied to Mu Qin, "I was thinking about a question just now, Mu Qin...do you remember the name of the orphanage you stayed in when you were young?"
Mu Qin said: "I don't remember... I left that orphanage when I was three years old. I don't have any memory at all. After that, my adoptive parents didn't tell me the name or address of the orphanage. Of course, I didn't think about investigating. .”
Seeing that he couldn't get an answer from Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia had no choice but to explain himself: "I have an older brother."
Mu Qin couldn't understand why Qiu Zijia wanted to bring the topic up to his brother, so he said to Qiu Zijia, "Get to the point."
"He is not my own brother, he was adopted by my parents." Qiu Zijia said, "My parents were diagnosed with infertility before giving birth to me, so they adopted my brother, but a few years after adopting my brother, my mother unexpectedly became pregnant. fucked me."
"Of course that's not the point, the point is... my brother, who seems to have been adopted by his parents from a family called 'Iris Orphanage', died many years ago, and a few years after I was born, he committed suicide died."
Mu Qin felt that he had already guessed what Qiu Zijia meant, but he still directly asked Qiu Zijia for confirmation: "What do you want to say?"
"Don't you find it strange?" Qiu Zijia pointed to himself, "My brother came out of this orphanage."
Then Qiu Zijia pointed at Cheng Guoxu: "And the factory where this guy works provides the orphanage with the toys the children need."
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Zijia lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to be heard by Han Li who was waiting outside, and he said softly: "There is also the female teacher outside, didn't she say that she was a kindergarten teacher before? The face in the room is weird, I bet she has an impression of this orphanage, maybe she took care of these orphans here when she was a kindergarten teacher."
"It's you in the end. Although you said you don't have any impression, it is very likely that you are an orphan who once stayed here... Well, there is a high possibility." Qiu Zijia finally shifted the focus of the topic to Mu Qin.
Mu Qin thought for a while, then smiled at Qiu Zijia: "Excellent inference, but what's the point? Apart from proving that several of us are connected with this orphanage."
Qiu Zijia immediately shook his head in embarrassment: "I can't think of any significance for the time being, but it may be some clues. After all, they left us in such a ghostly place. They must be careful."
Mu Qin praised him: "You are very smart, you deserve to study science."
Qiu Zijia, who was praised, was very happy, and patted the back of his head modestly: "No way, this kind of thing can be deduced easily as long as you understand the basic information."
While talking, they also turned over the dollhouse. Even the pile of toys in the corner was pushed down by them, and they thoroughly checked all the toys.
However, after searching for a long time, they still didn't find any valuable clues. Several people decided to leave here and go to the next room. Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu went out one by one, and Mu Qin walked last.
When he was about to go out, he remembered something. He remembered the little bear toy just now.
I don't know what kind of force is driving Mu Qin. Mu Qin wants to look back at the room. He wants to see the teddy bear that Cheng Guoxu casually placed on the table, but when Mu Qin turns his head to look, he But saw an astonishing scene.
The dollhouse that had just been turned into a mess by Mu Qin and others, now returned to its original appearance when they first entered the door in the blink of an eye!
The tattered toys are still piled up in the corner of the old place, and the little bear puppet is still sitting on the top of the toy pile, looking at Mu Qin with its one-eyed button.
This bizarre scene frightened Mu Qin so much that he opened his mouth to call Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu back to have a look, but before Mu Qin opened his mouth, it was Qiu Zijia who shouted first.
"Mu Qin, that female teacher is gone!" Qiu Zijia shouted anxiously outside.
Qiu Zijia's words brought Mu Qin back to his senses. He temporarily forgot about the weird scene in this dollhouse, and walked out quickly to look at the corridor. There were only Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu outside, and the female teacher named Han Li was nowhere to be seen.
