The conditions of the welfare home are not good. The paint on the gate is cracked and peeling, and the door lock has obvious rust.

Gu Wang walked forward, but before he could knock on the door, he heard some noise from inside and the voice of an adult shouting loudly.

Hong Hui suddenly became nervous, "Is it Xiaobao..."

Gu Wang knocked on the door.

"Here I am, here I am. Why are you delivering food so early today? I'm busy here..." The person inside opened the door and was startled to see the newcomer. Then he said embarrassedly, "I thought it was the delivery man. What can I do for you two?"

Gu Wangzheng looked her up and down. She was an aunt over fifty years old. Her gray hair was combed up with a hairband. Her clothes were neither new nor old, and they were neatly groomed. She had a very kind face.

Hong Hui spontaneously stepped forward and said, "Are you a staff member? We'd like to donate some money to accumulate merit. Can we come in and take a look?"

The aunt was delighted and quickly opened the door. "Of course, please come in. My last name is Zhou, and I'm the director of the welfare home. I'll show you around."

The two followed her inside.

The welfare home is not big and the building looks quite old. There are several bungalows surrounding a small courtyard in the middle.

The children were playing games in the yard basking in the sun. A teacher was watering a vegetable patch against the wall, looking back at the children from time to time.

Seeing Dean Zhou bringing people in, a little girl asked cautiously: "Grandma Zhou, are they here to help find Pei Zirui?"

Hong Hui was very sensitive to any anomalies here and immediately asked, "What do you mean? Is a child missing?"

Dean Zhou sighed helplessly, "A kid just came to the hospital. He seems to have been stimulated by something and can't remember anything before. He always wants to run away. He disappeared again this morning. Several of our teachers have already gone to look for him."

Gu Wang suddenly said, "Sister Hong, please follow the dean to donate money. I'll play with the children for a while."

Hong Hui knew that he must have discovered something, so she didn't ask any more questions and followed the dean.

The children in the welfare home are lonely and sensitive. After Gu Wang played a few games with them, they started calling him "Brother Gu" all the time.

Gu Wang was teaching a few children how to fold paper cranes when he casually asked, "Is there anything strange happening in the orphanage?"

The little girl who had just asked the question asked in confusion: "What's the strange thing?"

Gu Wang: "For example, if a toy you put away suddenly moves or disappears?"

A little boy raised his hand and said, "I know! Teacher Zhao has said several times that the toys we put away were messed up at night, but we were all sleeping well!"

Another little boy also said: "Also, I stopped drawing halfway through, but the painting was finished after a while."

"Isn't that what He Xiaohua drew? Nothing like this has happened since she was adopted."

"But He Xiaohua never paints. She gets a rash when she touches paint, and the teachers won't let her."

The children started talking about it, and things like losing a piece of candy and returning it the next day were also brought up.

After a while, the same little girl whispered, "Pei Zirui once said that there's a child's shadow in the orphanage who would secretly play with toys when we're not paying attention."

"Pei Zirui..." Gu Wang had just heard the dean mention this name. He asked the little girl, "Do you remember when he mentioned it? How did he say it?"

The little girl looked at him timidly and continued, "Pei Zirui rarely spoke after he came. The teachers asked me to take care of him, so I gave him a piece of candy. Later, Teacher Zhao said we stayed up late at night and secretly played with toys. She wanted to criticize us, but Pei Zirui told me that it wasn't us who played with the toys, but a shadow. He saw it, and it was a white shadow."

"A white shadow..." Gu Wang looked up, and with his Yin eyes, he could see that there was a faint Yin energy attached to some places in the yard, but not on the children, which showed that the other party was careful not to hurt the children.

But the negative energy was slowly dissipating, indicating that the other party had been away for some time.

Could the kid named Pei Zirui who often runs away be related to this matter?

Just as I was thinking about it, two more teachers ran in from outside.

Gu Wang heard one of them say, "We haven't found him yet. The child ran far away this time. Call the police quickly. If it's too late, something bad might happen."

Just then, Hong Hui had finished her session, and Dean Zhou brought her out. Upon hearing this, he went to look for the phone.

Gu Wang lowered his head and asked the little girl, "Do you know what Pei Zirui's favorite toy is?"

The little girl nodded and ran to get a nine-ring puzzle. "This was donated by a college student. None of us know how to play it, only Pei Zirui knows how to play it."

Gu Wang took it, and while the children were not paying attention, he pinched his fingers and whispered, "Heaven's command returns the heart, borrow an object to chase the soul!"

A faint aura was extracted from the Nine Rings and chased in one direction.

Seeing that Dean Zhou was about to call the police, Gu Wang quickly said, "I know where the child is. Come with me."

Having said that, he walked out without waiting for anyone to react.

Everyone looked at each other and hurried to catch up.

The welfare home is in a very poor location, surrounded by old buildings waiting to be demolished, and there is no other household within a ten-mile radius.

Gu Wang followed the magic to climb over the wall into a broken yard, and then came to the door of a basement. He stretched out his hand and pulled open the rotten door lock.

Dean Zhou wanted to stop it but it was too late, "Hey - that was the morgue of the old hospital..."

Gu Wang has already gone in.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt a strong yin energy. Several ordinary ghosts were wandering aimlessly in the morgue, and they disappeared as soon as they heard someone coming in.

In the middle of the basement, there was a worn operating table with a little boy curled up on it with his eyes closed.

Gu Wang picked him up and frowned. This child was actually missing a soul.

Dean Zhou and others followed in from behind. She hugged Pei Zirui distressedly and said, "Why did this kid get here?"

Then he thanked Gu Wang again. In a place like this, even if the police came, it would take them a long time to search, and something might happen.

Hong Hui whispered, "Is the child okay? Does it have anything to do with...Xiaobao?"

Gu Wang shook his head. "It has nothing to do with her. This child is missing a soul, so he has no memory. Because his soul is incomplete, he can see evil things and is easily confused by evil spirits, so he often runs around."

Over there, Pei Zirui had already woken up, but his face was still expressionless, and he had no idea that he had scared the adults.

Gu Wang took out a triangular talisman paper from his pocket, walked over, and asked Dean Zhou, "Do you mind?"

Dean Zhou was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was a bit strange that they had walked all the way to this remote morgue and found the child directly.

She stared at the talisman paper in a daze, then suddenly realized, "Y-you... No, I don't mind."

Gu Wang placed the talisman on Pei Zirui's chest.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment the talisman paper was put down, Pei Zirui’s expression seemed to become more lively, and he actually took the initiative to rub against Dean Zhou’s arms.

Dean Zhou also smiled and whispered, "Thank you very much. Don't worry, I will make sure the child takes good care of it and won't take it off even when sleeping."

Gu Wang nodded, touched Pei Zirui's head, and said softly: "I heard from other children that you saw a shadow in the welfare home? Is she still there now?"

Pei Zirui shook his head slowly, "No more. After He Xiaohua was adopted, that shadow disappeared."

After a pause, he added: "It has the best relationship with He Xiaohua."

Gu Wang: "Can He Xiaohua see her too?"

Pei Zirui shook his head, "It likes He Xiaohua."

Dean Zhou didn't know what they were talking about, and Gu Wang didn't explain. He wrote down a phone number and said, "This child has a special fate. If anything happens in the future, you can call me."

I don’t know whether this little boy was born with one soul missing or was harmed by someone’s evil magic. If it’s the latter, who knows what will happen.

After finishing the work, Gu Wang was about to stand up, but Pei Zirui held his hand.

The little boy gently placed something in his palm.

Gu Wang took a closer look and found that it was a men's cufflink made of gemstones. He didn't know much about these things, but he knew it was worth at least tens of thousands.

He wanted to return the cuff, but the child tried hard to pull his hand away and refused to take it, as if the cufflink was hot.

Dean Zhou suddenly said, "Pei Zirui was found by the police. The clothes he was wearing at the time were worth tens of thousands of yuan, and he also had this cufflink with him. The police thought someone would come looking for him soon, but they waited a long time and no one from his family came to the police. They also couldn't find any information about the child, so they had to send him to an orphanage."

She looked at Gu Wang and said, "This child is stubborn. If you don't accept him, he won't give up. Besides, you have such ability. Maybe you can help him find his family."

Gu Wang had no choice but to accept it. It was another karma. It seemed that his main job was to do good deeds, and his part-time job was to run an amusement park.

Putting the cufflinks in their pockets, the two said goodbye to everyone in the welfare home and went to the family that adopted He Xiaohua again.

On the way, Gu Wang told Hong Hui what he had found out, and they soon arrived at their destination.

The couple who adopted He Xiaohua live in an urban village in Yaoguang City. I heard that the village is about to be demolished soon.

It is said that the couple had been married for more than ten years and had no children of their own, so they decided to adopt a child. They visited the orphanage several times and fell in love with the well-behaved and shy He Xiaohua, so they decided to adopt her.

The two got out of the car and saw a small yard in the distance where a little girl was playing with stones.

But Gu Wang saw more.

In the sunlight, besides the little girl, there was also a small skeleton walking around in the yard.

The poor little baby was only a few months old when he died, but he lay underground nourished by the Yin energy for more than ten years. Five years later, after he woke up, his little skeleton had grown to the size of a two or three-year-old child.

The thin bones made people feel sad, but the little girl was not unhappy. On her round skull, there were a few pink bow stickers, a few small flowers painted with watercolor pens on her cheekbones, and light yellow buttons carefully painted on her ribs.

It's a very beautiful little skeleton.

At this moment, she was playing with stones with Xiaohua. Her jaw opened and closed, and she made a soft and sticky childish sound, "One for Xiaohua, one for me, one for Xiaohua..."

He Xiaohua couldn't see her, she just felt that the stones were moving around disobediently, so she carefully put them in place.

Both little girls were very good-tempered and were happy even though they couldn't figure out anything interesting to do after playing for a long time.

Suddenly, Gu Wang's hand was grabbed. Turning around, he saw Hong Hui with a look of both crying and laughing, saying incoherently: "You...you look! Look there..."

Gu Wang thought she saw the bone child, but then he thought something was wrong. He looked in the direction and saw that He Xiaohua's sleeves fell down, and there was a conspicuous blue-gray birthmark on her wrist.

When she looked down again, Hong Hui had already rolled up her sleeves. She had a similar birthmark on her wrist in a similar position.

Hong Hui couldn't stop her tears from falling, "She still remembers me... Xiaobao still remembers me..."
