Push the ghost talker back

Wei Jiangyan looked at Lu Mingran in surprise.

It's just an orphanage, what's so scary?

Until Lu Mingran said the name of the orphanage:

"Guchuan Orphanage."

--------------

Over the past few years, Guchuan Orphanage has been spreading all kinds of strange stories. For example, the dolls in the activity room dance by themselves at night, and the orphanage was cast in a dark color for a while.

That day happened to be Saturday, Lu Mingran and Wei Jiangyan drove for a long time before arriving here.

Looking from a distance, the small western-style buildings in the Guchuan Orphanage are very stylishly designed, but perhaps troubled by strange stories, the small western-style buildings standing under the gray sky are a bit eerie.

It was a male staff member from the orphanage who came to pick them up, and they followed him, only to see a few scattered children chasing and playing in the huge courtyard.

"It used to be very lively in the courtyard." The staff member sighed, "You should have heard that since those strange things happened, many people in the society are opposed to sending children to us."

Lu Mingran couldn't help but sneered in his heart, talking as if how beautiful your place is.When Zhang Jicheng was here, you just watched him and the weaker children being bullied.

Even though he thought so in his heart, Lu Mingran still had a bright smile on his face.Moreover, he sent the staff away, and went to the activity room alone with Wei Jiangyan holding the cardboard box.

Wei Jiangyan's complexion has not been very good since he stepped into the gate here.While arranging things, Lu Mingran casually asked, "Why, you're not used to this place?"

"No, it's just a little...familiar."

In the notebook left by Zhang Jicheng, he mentioned his experience in the orphanage many times.He didn't say where it was, and he always referred to it by that place.But today, after Wei Jiangyan saw the orphanage, everything here and what was mentioned in the notebook corresponded one by one.

Take this game room, for example.Wei Jiangyan walked to the locker on the west side, squatted down on the far right, and saw the crayon-drawn puppy left in the corner.

"Hey, Jiang Yan, why did you go there?"

Wei Jiangyan stood up abruptly:

"I remember here."

At this time, Wei Jiangyan no longer followed Lu Mingran around, he ran into the corridor, as if he was looking for something, and bumped into that staff member just in time.

The staff appreciates their donations of toys and treats, but that's really not an excuse for them to run around.So the man stopped him and said politely:

"Sir, the front is the children's accommodation area, you can't go there."

"Jiang Yan." Lu Mingran also chased him out.

And Wei Jiangyan was very persistent, he gestured and said a name:

"Zhang Ji." This was Zhang Tianshi's name when he was still in the orphanage.

Wei Jiangyan said eagerly: "I'm not going to run around, I just want to find out where this kid lived."

Upon hearing the name, the smiling faces of the staff froze.

Lu Mingran knew that it was fear and guilt.Zhang Ji, this name has long been a taboo here.

"Sorry, sir, we don't have a child named Zhang Ji here."

"Also, the opening hours are over, please leave."

Seeing that Wei Jiangyan and himself were about to be kicked out, Lu Mingran decided to help him, and with the help of the system, he talked about it, saying that Wei Jiangyan was somewhat related to that child, and finally got permission.

------------

As the staff said, there are indeed fewer and fewer children here, and many rooms in the accommodation area are empty.What's interesting is that only Zhang Ji lived in a room with a lock on it, because in many strange stories about orphanages, this is the scariest place at night.

"Are you...are you sure you want to go in?"

"En." Lu Mingran nodded, but he just stood at the door and only let Wei Jiangyan in.

The room that hadn't been used for a long time was empty, but surprisingly, the afternoon sunlight filled the room, making people's ears flush.

Wei Jiangyan obviously didn't come here on a whim.After he entered the room and looked around, he went to the small box by the wall.

At this time, Lu Mingran promptly blocked the staff's sight and chatted with him.

The young staff member was straightforward and told the story of Zhang Ji he had heard:

"There used to be such a child in the courtyard. I heard that one year he fell ill and was so ill that he was half dead, and was taken away by an old Taoist priest on a rainy night."

"It was also said that he died a long time ago. But anyway, in the third year after he left, our orphanage, especially the room where he lived, began to feel strange."

From the corner of his eye, Lu Mingran saw that Wei Jiangyan had already got what he wanted, so he hummed and moved away.

Now that the things had been obtained, they had no reason to stay any longer and walked outside.On the way, a little girl who had just woken up poked her head out of the room, blinking her big eyes and looking at them curiously.

The little girl also said to Lu Mingran: "Uncle, I have a secret to tell you."

Lu Mingran squatted down and looked at him with a smile: "What secret?"

"The doll in the playroom used to dance with me, but now she doesn't."

This Lu Mingran knew the reason, Zhang Jicheng must have removed the curse.

Lu Mingran felt that it was understandable to take revenge on those people back then, but these later children were really innocent.

"Uncle brought a new doll over this time, do you want to go and have a look?"

When the little girl heard that there was a new doll, her eyes lit up.She nodded heavily, and ran towards the activity room like a butterfly.Wei Jiangyan looked at the little girl passing by him, then at Lu Mingran behind him, and asked:

"What did you say to the child?"

"Tell her to find new toys. Well, she said those ghost stories don't exist."

In this way, Wei Jiangyan will not investigate the matter behind the strange talk.

Lu Mingran followed.When there was no one around, he whispered beside Wei Jiangyan:

"By the way, what are you doing with the things in the room? Don't deny it, I saw it and helped you cover it."

So Wei Jiangyan said frankly: "I want to help Zhang Ji bury something."

----------

The location is in a very remote part of the courtyard, and few people will come—in case someone will see them and take them away as perverts.

It is said that this place is very remote, but it is very beautiful. There are green branches climbing on the fence, and clusters of pink and white flowers bloom nearby.Wei Jiangyan dug out a small pit and buried a locked notebook in it.

"Zhang Ji has been very upset. He said that he had sworn at the beginning that if he could leave that ghostly place, he would bury his revenge book and declare his freedom."

But he left in a hurry back then and didn't have time to bury him. Later, he had no chance and didn't really want to enter this orphanage.

"So you went to steal something just to bury a notebook for him?"

Lu Mingran laughed at him, but felt relieved all of a sudden.He knew that in this way, Wei Jiangyan's desire to find out about Zhang Jicheng would be completely gone.

Their fate will end with the burial of the book, and naturally there will be no more of the messy things in the future.

The afternoon sun warms everything.Lu Mingran saw Wei Jiangyan standing in front of the buried pit, his figure was desolate, he really looked like another Zhang Jicheng.

Although I failed to become a bosom friend in the end.

but……

He did for you what a bosom friend can do for you.Right, Zhang Ji?

--------------

The reminder to complete the task sounded in the evening of this day.

At that time, Lu Mingran was planning to continue eating, but Wei Jiangyan waved the spatula, saying that there was no salt at home and he wanted to borrow it.

"I don't have salt at home."

"Wait, don't hit me, I'll go downstairs to buy it!"

Wei Jiangyan was speechless. The co-author didn't have any kitchen utensils at home, so he just wanted to eat?

Lu Mingran smiled, and went downstairs diligently.

"The bus is waiting outside." The system urged.

"I know, but I have to buy salt."

"Oh, what salt to buy, don't worry, I will arrange your double to help you finish it."

This time, Lu Mingran did not move.

Yes, the finishing work is helped by the system.

"Then..." Lu Mingran was still worried, "Remember to remind him, don't listen to the concierge and go to the supermarket outside to buy salt. The salt in the neighborhood supermarket is pretty good."

It could be regarded as nagging all the way, when Lu Mingran sat in the car, he was still talking about this.

"Yes, buy salt, don't listen to the concierge."

"En." Lu Mingran finally calmed down.

As the sun was setting, on the bus outside the community, there was an invisible Lu Mingran who was thinking about buying salt.

how to say……

I hope that after I leave, someone will eat with you every day.

----------

What finally diverted Lu Mingran's attention was the webpage that popped up on his phone, which was said to be a mission reminder for the next world.

is a forum where pinned posts are red and filled with moderator rage.

Look at the following posts one by one, the content is similar to suffocating:

"Talk about my experience in the years when I was Mr. Yin Yang..."

"I've been in this business for many years, so let's have a casual chat with everyone."

"If you don't believe me, you don't need to click in."

……

The moderator's top post says:

"We are here to discuss supernatural phenomena, not a forum for novels!"

"Next time, if any bastard writes a novel in the name of self-reported experience, I will fork you out immediately!"

Picture: A handsome photo of the moderator himself holding a thorny fork.

Ok……

No deterrence.
