The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The place the little ghost brought her to this time was an abandoned orphanage.

The orphanage looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and was in a dilapidated state. The rusty iron gate was tightly closed, and the tattered sign in front of the gate hung high above it.

The blood-red font on the sign exudes a creepy glow that makes people shudder.

The entire orphanage is surrounded by high walls, the surfaces of which are covered with various graffiti that are full of childlike fun but at the same time appear extremely strange.

Lu Shi shook his wrist gently, and the bell made a faint sound, which was particularly obvious in the silent atmosphere.

Gu An, who had been following Lu Shi closely, couldn't help but look towards Lu Shi after hearing the voice.

Lu Shi stopped and turned to look at Gu An, and asked softly, "Are you afraid? Do you want to go into the bell?"

Gu An shook his head and said that he was not afraid, but his soul was sticking close to Lu Shi.

Lu Shi could see his little movements but couldn't feel them, so he didn't say anything.

After all, she is here, so nothing will happen to him.

She ignored the strange environment around her and took Gu An to observe around the orphanage, trying to find a place where people could rest.

The orphanage is located in a corner on the edge of the city, surrounded by high walls, and seems somewhat isolated from the world.

It didn't cover a large area, and the entire courtyard was easily visible. In the center was a small courtyard, and the moonlight could only illuminate a small area of ​​the ground.

On one side of the courtyard stood several low houses, which housed the classrooms, dormitories, and kitchens. These rooms were connected in a row, each consisting of only one floor, indicating that there were not many children in the orphanage at the time.

When Lu Shi walked in from the door, he only saw about ten little ghosts.

Those little ghosts seemed to be unaware that Lu Shi could see them, so they began to tease Lu Shi at will.

Some little ghosts would suddenly rush in front of Lu Shi and deliberately knock a stool to the ground.

Some picked up chalk and scribbled on the blackboard.

Others will deliberately show up, showing the tragic state of their death, and making scary faces...

Faced with this series of strange actions, Lu Shi remained surprisingly calm.

She walked straight past these little ghosts without even stopping for a moment, without looking around.

Seeing this, the little ghosts felt extremely bored.

They gathered together, whispering to each other: "What's wrong with this person? We scared her like this, but she didn't react at all!"

"Is she blind?"

"No, no, maybe he's deaf and can't hear the noise we make."

"Oh my, maybe he's a disabled person who's both deaf and dumb!"

Some even directly asserted: "I think she must be a fool, otherwise how could she not feel anything about what we did!"

Otherwise, why wasn't she afraid at all when it was so obvious that there was a ghost? She didn't even blink, but was still looking for a place to sleep!

One of the kids saw her running around like a headless chicken and couldn't help but mutter, "This is a classroom. If you want to find the dormitory, you have to go to the left and pass through two classrooms."

"Really? Thank you." Lu Shi thanked him politely.

The kid subconsciously replied, "You're welcome."

The little ghost looked up at Lu Shi. When their eyes met, Lu Shi smiled and winked at him. Then he slowly walked in the direction he said and gradually disappeared from the little ghost's sight.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The little ghost let out a shrill scream, and the other little ghosts who heard the sound rushed over.

"What happened!"

"She can see us and hear us!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

For a moment, the screams spread throughout the orphanage, even faintly heard outside the door and into the ears of some people.

The group of people outside preparing to explore paused. The thinner and more timid one among them spoke first, "Did you hear any strange noises? It sounded like a lot of people were screaming?"

The others looked at each other and tacitly did not answer.

The leader was a strong, handsome young man, about thirty years old, with a very upright temperament.

He looked up at the small walled area in the distance, his face serious, "Keep going."

As soon as the backbone spoke, the team started moving.

The average age of this team is around 30 years old, with four men and two women. The four young men are one fat and one thin, one tall and one short.

The tall one is the boss among them. The short one is only 1 meters tall, but he is not thin. Instead, he has solid muscles.

One fat and one thin surrounded the dwarf in the middle, and the other three followed silently behind the two women, serving as the rear guard of the team.

The timid thin man seemed to still be in shock. He put his arm around the short man's shoulders and lowered his voice, "You should have heard it just now. It wasn't just my illusion, was it?"

The fat man on the other side also leaned over and said, "I heard it too, but there's nothing to be afraid of. It's probably just the cry of some wild animal. This place is remote, so it's normal to see these things."

The thin man disapproved of what he said and retorted, "What beast's voice? Don't you think it sounds like a child's?"

You know, this is an orphanage, what does the sound of children mean...

The fat man guessed what he was thinking and curled his lips in silence, "You're not trying to say there's a ghost, are you?"

The thin man nodded excitedly, "Yes, that's right!"

"Don't be ridiculous. It's the 21st century and you're still promoting superstition. If you're so timid, why don't you just stop adventuring with us and go home to your mother?"

The thin man was somewhat discouraged by the fat man's merciless rebuttal and ridicule, and turned to the short man who had remained silent for comfort.

"Look at this guy, he doesn't even give his family any face. Just based on his mouth, I won't save him if he's in danger in the future!"

Before the dwarf could speak, the fat man beside him spoke first, "Come on, with your courage, if you don't run away when you encounter danger, you must be a fool. How can I expect you to come back and save me?"

"You...you!" The thin guy was speechless and very angry, but the fear in his heart disappeared.

Realizing that he was no match for the fat man, he quickly changed the subject.

"Hey Gangzi, why are you so quiet today? And you're wearing a mask."

Gangzi is a shorty.

Speaking of masks, the dwarf coughed a few times, his voice a little hoarse, "I caught a cold yesterday and it hasn't healed yet, so my throat feels a little uncomfortable."

"It's good that you haven't had a fever in the past few days, but you actually caught a cold. It seems that your muscles are just for show but not for use. They're even worse than my fat."

The fat man teased while holding his big belly.

After hearing his words, Gangzi coughed a few more times, lowered his head and said nothing.

The conversations of the three people in the back came one after another, but this did not disturb Zhou Xiangchen who was walking in the front.

He focused on straightening the flashlight on his head, ensuring that the circle of light above his head could steadily illuminate the dark orphanage in front of him.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the originally silent and overgrown yard. The howling wind and waves carried sand and dust, sweeping past like a huge yellow wave, instantly blinding everyone's eyes.

Everyone subconsciously squinted their eyes and covered their faces with their hands to protect themselves from the wind and sand.

After the strong wind stopped, Zhou Zhengnan looked ahead dimly, as if he didn't notice anything unusual in front of him, and strode into the orphanage.

Seeing this, the people behind him hurriedly quickened their pace and followed closely.

"That gust of wind just now was really weird, don't you think?"

After being refuted several times, the thin guy came out again to seek attention.

However, just like before, his words received no response from anyone.

Faced with the silence of his companions, the thin man rolled his eyes helplessly, muttered a few words to himself, then tactfully shut his mouth and did not mention the matter again.
