Even though the librarian has difficulty walking, he would still play with Bella when she played hide-and-seek.
Compared to Han Zhusheng, the library director seems to like Bella more.
Unfortunately, Gu Huaiwei knocked out two of Bella's teeth last time, causing Bella to stay away from her. Whenever she appeared, Bella would hide in the closet.
Not to mention playing hide and seek.
Gu Huaiwei observed these strange routes of movement and found that they rarely left their fixed areas.
Bella had been hiding in the attic on the sixth floor, only leaving the attic on nights when there was a fire.
Han Zhusheng appears in the office or reading area most of the time.
The female painter stayed in the studio in the basement.
Gu Huaiwei squatted at the door of the wardrobe and tried to persuade Bella, but Bella refused to come out. She was helpless and simply pried open the lock of the wardrobe and pulled out Bella who was hiding inside.
"Little boy, come out and play hide-and-seek with your sister. If you can get your father out, I'll let you go."
Bella made strange sounds.
It seemed that Gu Huaiwei's behavior far exceeded her expectations.
Gu Huaiwei tied Bella to a bench and asked her to count.
If she doesn't obey, I'll crush her miner doll.
At first, Bella could still speak some human words.
"Dad won't come out at this time. He only comes to see me on nights when there's a fire... Kakaka... I like big fires and high temperatures. I can smell the sizzling aroma of barbecue."
"He comes to play hide-and-seek with me... click, click, click... The fire can't burn into the toy house, but my head will grow bigger in the fire and can't get into the toy house."
"Stop touching my dolls. They're something I've collected for a long time! Kakakaka!"
"Put down my doll quickly. I'll trade it with you for the gray crystal gem! Put down my doll... and don't touch the two dolls on the cabinet!"
Later on, all the sounds were obscure and weird like "click, click, click".
Gu Huaiwei found an insurance contract among the two dolls at the top.
The insured was Bella, along with several other names I hadn't seen.
The beneficiary is the library director.
These are several personal accident contracts.
Gu Huaiwei looked at the contract and, combining it with what Bella and Han Zhusheng said, she realized that the library director was most likely adopting orphans from the miners in distress and then taking out huge insurance policies on them.
The orphans had an accident in this library, and the library director used this to defraud insurance money.
Seeing these clues, Gu Huaiwei frowned slightly. She left Bella here for the time being and went to the archives room downstairs to look for the files of several children.
In the long-closed, dusty archive room, Gu Huaiwei found the reasons for the accidental deaths of those children.
Someone was riding in an elevator and it suddenly lost control, and he was crushed to death by the elevator doors.
There were also people who were killed by bookshelves in the reading area of the library.
Bella's cause of death was fire.
These children are not healthy.
Vapor lung disease is contagious. When a child is infected with vapor lung disease by a parent who is absent from work, the symptoms are not noticeable at first. As time goes by, the child will develop body deformities, tooth loss, severe anemia, and eventually die of suffocation due to difficulty breathing.
These children who have become strange will have certain parts of their bodies swell or shrink when the scene of their death is replayed, revealing their true appearance.
The library director is a philanthropist to the outside world.
Not only that, he was also one of the first workers in the local chemical factory.
The trial-taker in this copy is an investigative reporter. These materials should be useful to Fang Zhao and others. After Gu Huaiwei got them, she took a few photos with her mobile phone and returned to the attic.
Only a broken piece of rope remained on the bench where Bella was originally tied.
Bella is nowhere to be found.
Gu Huaiwei searched the attic but didn't find anyone.
She turned back to look for Fang Zhao and Xia Wenxin.
At this time, Fang Zhao and Xia Wenxin were in the ventilation duct on the fourth floor, which was a relatively safe place.
When Gu Huaiwei left, she left some bandages for them.
At this time, Fang Zhao was helping Xia Wenxin wrap bandages on the burned areas on her limbs.
"Recently, be careful not to let the wound get wet. After we leave the dungeon, I'll take you to the hospital for skin grafting and then ask a plastic surgeon to see if your face can be repaired."
"Squad leader, is there any hospital out there that isn't a dungeon?" Xia Wenxin smiled bitterly. "I'm lucky to be able to save my life. I don't want to think about anything else."
"Alas, we used to have a class of forty students, but now there are only nineteen left." Fang Zhao sighed deeply, his eyes weary. "The polluted area is gradually expanding, and the living space outside is getting smaller and smaller. Every once in a while, we're forced to enter a dungeon. When will this life of fear end?"
"Don't think about tomorrow today. At least we were lucky in this dungeon. We met the manager of the Oasis Sanatorium and were able to escape death." Xia Wenxin was more optimistic.
"But that store manager is very strange. Although he is helping us, his position is unclear." Fang Zhao remembered Gu Huaiwei's smile in front of the strangeness, and his brows furrowed even more. "I'm really afraid that the sanatorium she mentioned is a new dungeon."
Xia Wenxin applied medicine on her skin and then wrapped it with a bandage, and the burning and stinging sensation was much relieved.
She is calm and accepts the uncertainties of the future well.
"Team Leader, we've already promised her. When the time comes, we can go to her shop and take a look, right?
Anyway, the Gray Mist Town Library dungeon can only be cleared in B-level mode, so we will most likely have to enter a new dungeon.
In this case, it doesn't really matter to us which instance we enter."
Fang Zhao nodded silently, agreeing with her.
While the two were discussing, Gu Huaiwei had just entered the ventilation duct. She knelt on the ground, pressing her cell phone in her hand, and felt that the air in there was too turbid.
The space is small, so it is inevitable that you cannot move freely.
Before she had climbed a few steps, she heard Fang Zhao and Xia Wenxin talking about her.
I listened attentively and was quite satisfied with their timely approach.
Gu Huaiwei was very gentle.
When Fang Zhao saw Gu Huaiwei appear, he immediately shut his mouth and returned to his original expression of gratitude.
Gu Huaiwei pretended not to hear their conversation.
"Let's form a group of three. I'll pass on the clues I just found to you. You should be able to use them." Gu Huaiwei sat down with her body hunched.
Xia Wenxin took out her cracked phone and swiped it several times before unlocking it: "We have a group, we can add you in."
"Okay." Gu Huaiwei was pulled into their reporter investigation group.
Looking at the group name, Gu Huaiwei subconsciously said, "I'm not a reporter, so I'm considered an outsider. Is it okay for me to join your work group?"
"It's bad!" Gu Huaiwei's words reminded Fang Zhao. His pupils trembled and his face looked ugly.
