Chapter 59 Guhuo Bird
Then the call was hung up directly.
Li Muhan was very confused as to how Zhou Ling knew his number. Su Xue said that she could contact the Special Management Bureau directly, so it was not surprising that she got Li Muhan's phone number.
Since the other party came to them on their own initiative, they didn't need to panic.
"Did you, Sister Xue, fund the construction of this welfare home?"
Li Muhan turned around and looked at Su Xue and asked.
"My family built it, but I was also responsible for supervising and operating it throughout the entire process. However, a month after it was completed, I joined the Special Management Bureau, and the management of this place was handed over to someone else."
After hearing the reply, Li Muhan sighed in his heart that the class gap was too fucking big.
Some people do good deeds by donating blood, while others simply build an orphanage, but good deeds, regardless of size, should be praised.
"Shouldn't the weird thing be why this place would accept an alien as an employee?"
Yin Qi said as she looked at her phone. She had just put it in the dean's office to charge, and now it was fully charged again.
"Xiao Qi, you can't say that about others. Some aliens that do no harm to humans are also allowed to find jobs."
Su Xue said to Yin Qi, but Yin Qi just snorted.
“That’s why there are people like Zhou Zhiguo.”
In terms of attitude towards aliens, Yin Qi is actually the same as Huo Tian in the early days. He believes that all aliens should be locked up so that humans can be safe.
In fact, Li Muhan also learned some information during this period. He knew that many of the outliers in the Special Management Bureau's archives were trying to integrate into society and were engaged in various jobs.
Of course, it must be under supervision and must be inspected regularly by the Special Management Bureau.
But apart from these, those aliens whose safety cannot be guaranteed and who have no guarantors will be incorporated into the Special Management Bureau, such as the Nightmare that Li Muhan brought back before.
I heard that he has been incorporated now, but Li Muhan didn't ask which department he is in.
And those extremely dangerous aliens will be suppressed by the hunters in special places.
The Tianhai City Special Management Bureau is located underground, and under the Special Management Bureau there is a residence specially built for aliens.
The people living there are aliens that cannot be released, are at a high level of danger, and cannot be dealt with.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we meet someone."
Seeing that Su Xue and Yin Qi were about to argue endlessly about this issue, Li Muhan quickly tried to smooth things over.
The three of them spent the next two hours in the car analyzing the situation.
The child must have gone missing. Aliens have strong perception abilities, and some of them can take children away from humans without anyone noticing.
But he couldn't escape Zhou Ling's sight.
The question is, why didn't Zhou Ling stop it, but instead asked the Special Management Bureau for help?
There may be only one reason.
She could sense it, but she couldn't stop it.
Of course, in addition to this conjecture, there is another possibility.
This is more terrifying.
This orphanage has fallen into the control of an alien named Zhou Ling, and all the children have been taken away by her.
But this creates a contradiction. If no one knows about it, why should she report it to the Special Management Bureau?
Two hours later, a young woman wearing a white turtleneck sweater and a black jacket walked up to the car.
She knocked lightly on the car window, and Li Muhan opened the door for her and let her sit in the passenger seat.
After the woman sat in the passenger seat, she lit a cigarette. Li Muhan quickly opened the car window for her.
She should be Zhou Ling, who looks to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with fair skin, a quiet and intellectual look, and very cold eyes. Although she cannot be compared with beauties like Xia Yue and Su Xue, she can also be considered outstanding.
But now she looks a little haggard, with big dark circles under her eyes, and she looks like a bereaved girl.
The whole person seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.
"Hello."
Li Muhan greeted her.
Zhou Ling tilted her head slightly, glanced at Li Muhan, and said in a cold voice.
"Captain Li from Team Seven, right? I'm Zhou Ling, file number 590. I'll be frank: there's something fishy going on at this school. Could you please go in and investigate tonight?"
She simply threw a key to Li Muhan.
Then he blew out a smoke ring.
"Go in and check at night? You mean let us sneak in?"
Su Xue said.
Zhou Ling did not answer Su Xue, but took out another photo and handed it to Li Muhan.
“This is a photo of my students that I kept.”
Li Muhan took it and took a look at it, and his scalp tingled.
Because this photo is different from the one in the dean’s office, there are sixty children in the photo!
The two boys standing at the edge were not in the photo album in the dean's office or in the news photos that Lin Ziyu found.
"What's going on..."
For a moment, Su Xue didn't know whether to believe her memory or the photo in front of her.
Because in her memory, there were clearly only 58 students... But after carefully looking at the two children in the photo, she suddenly remembered.
"I remember now!! These two kids were the new students who entered the school three months ago!"
Li Muhan was surprised.
"So, there really are sixty students here?! What kind of alien is so powerful that it can make all our memories wrong?!"
Zhou Ling sneered and said.
"If this thing is really that powerful, it wouldn't be able to confuse even me. It can indeed confuse people to a certain extent, but it is limited to this orphanage."
At this time, Lin Ziyu's voice sounded in the intercom.
"But the information I found here only shows 58 students. I wasn't there, so I shouldn't be confused."
Zhou Ling exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly.
"Please check if there is any modification record in the background of the website."
Zhou Ling's words woke Lin Ziyu up from his dream. It turned out that such a smart person like Lin Ziyu had forgotten this point.
Yes, she just needs to confuse the people in the orphanage and then replace all the existing orphanage information.
Sure enough, when Lin Ziyu carefully checked the background code, he found that this information had been replaced.
Since it has been confirmed that a child is missing, several people began to ask Zhou Ling for more information.
"I first noticed something was wrong two months ago. The two new children came to me crying every day, saying that there was a shadow staring at them and laughing at them at night, and they couldn't make any sound or move."
"Sleep paralysis?"
"I thought so at first, because the scientific explanation for sleep paralysis is that too much stress causes nerve compression. I gave him psychological counseling every day until one day, I realized he didn't come to see me."
Li Muhan originally thought that Zhou Ling would be a very serious person that students would not dare to approach, but now it seems that she is a pretty nice person.
"So I asked other students, but they all looked confused. I thought the children didn't know either, so I asked the dean. But the dean told me that there was no such child at all."
This sounds very strange.
Overnight, except for Zhou Ling, everyone in the welfare home seemed to have never known this child.
The one who can do this cannot be a human being, it can only be an alien.
As she spoke, Zhou Ling took out a handmade clay doll from the pocket of her clothes.
"What's this?"
Li Muhan asked.
"This is a clay figurine that the kid made during the handicraft class at the welfare home. He later gave it to me. I don't know how I could give away such an ugly thing."
Although the words were hurtful, Li Muhan saw a barely perceptible gentle smile on Zhou Ling's face as she stared at the clay doll.
Su Xue took the clay doll and looked at it carefully. Although the doll was a bit rough, it was obvious that the child had put a lot of effort into it.
"He pinched you?"
Su Xue asked.
Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment and then glared at Su Xue.
"Am I so ugly?"
......
Zhou Ling didn't seem to intend to join the investigation.
"I have no obligation to find those children. That's the job of your Special Management Bureau. Good luck."
After throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stamping it out, Zhou Ling waved her hand and turned away.
"Could it be...she did it?"
Li Muhan asked as he watched Zhou Ling leave.
"Stealing from the inside, and then reporting it to the authorities to lessen his suspicion?"
He continued his analysis while looking at Su Xue and Yin Qi.
"What do you think?"
"It's a bit strange."
Yin Qi said.
"Both of these missing children have one thing in common."
"Before they disappeared, they all went to look for Zhou Ling."
Su Xue continued what Yin Qi said.
"Yes, I noticed that, too. I really can't trust Zhou Ling completely based on her one-sided statement."
With Zhou Zhiguo's previous experience as a lesson, Li Muhan would never dare to jump to such a conclusion.
But at this moment, Lin Ziyu spoke.
"That shouldn't be possible."
"Why?"
Several people asked in unison.
"Because I just sent a request to the Archives Department and retrieved Zhou Ling's file records. The prototype of the 590th anomaly is the Guhuo Bird."
Guhuo Bird is a monster in Chinese legend.
It was first mentioned in "Xuan Zhong Ji". The Guhuo Bird is also known as the Heavenly Emperor Girl and the Night-walking Girl.
Her most distinctive features are her bright and colorful feathers and her love for children.
The Guhuo bird cannot give birth to children, but it loves children very much, so it will raise other people's abandoned babies as its own.
It seems that this is indeed a monster that will not harm children.
"And the most important point is that the Guhuo Bird does not have the power to confuse people."
Lin Ziyu finally gave a conclusion.
"There's probably another alien in this orphanage."
