Chapter 49: Burned Qingshan Orphanage, Guess Who is the Ghost
Meng Fuling looked over with a pair of cold eyes, and when she saw his face, she let go of her hand awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I just held you to prevent us from being swept away!"
Qin Muchen took a deep breath and subconsciously touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist.
Even as they turned their heads to look across, they saw a chilling chill in the building of Qingshan Orphanage.
With a creaky sound, the rusty gate opened by itself.
The evil ghost was inviting them into his territory. Meng Fuling sneered and said, "Let's go."
The orphanage is a century-old dilapidated house with burn marks on the walls.
The broken gravel road and the black marks left on the building's exterior after being burned make this place look like a haunted house in a TV drama.
"Why is it here?" Qin Muchen's face was filled with surprise.
"This is where your sister lived, right?" Meng Fuling had already figured it out: "Mu Ting is not your biological sister."
"Yes, she was adopted by my parents seven years ago. She lived in Qingshan Orphanage before that."
Qin Muchen did not hide it, as not many people knew about it.
If he remembered correctly, there was a fire in the orphanage seven years ago.
All the children inside were burned to death. He was shocked when he saw the news.
While feeling sorry for the children's experiences, I also lamented that my sister was adopted by them and taken home, thus avoiding the disaster.
Looking at this orphanage full of scars now, I can’t help but feel sad.
The door was open and it was pitch black, filled with dust and piles of waste. A cold wind blew in, making people shudder.
"Whoa!" As the two of them stepped in, the lights in the hall suddenly lit up.
The warm and bright orphanage has been completely renovated, and it feels like I have experienced two different worlds.
"Hahaha!" Bursts of laughter were heard.
A group of children ran down from upstairs, holding hands and dancing and singing in the spacious hall.
"My sister carried her doll on her back and went to the garden to look at the flowers. The doll cried and called for her mother, and the butterflies on the flowers laughed happily."
"My sister carried her doll and went to the garden to play. The doll cried for her mother when it was hungry, and the birds in the tree laughed."
"We are a family of Qingshan Orphanage, and we want to be together happily."
“…”
The eight children were jumping around happily. The youngest boy was only three or four years old, and the oldest was no more than ten years old.
The girl who was spinning with them was about seven or eight years old, with two cute pigtails and a pink dress.
Her big, twinkling eyes sparkled like stars. She clapped her hands the loudest and the children all listened to her.
Looking at her face, Qin Muchen felt vaguely familiar.
"Gululu!" A ball rolled to his feet and he reached out to pick it up.
"Don't pick it up!" Meng Fuling's reminder was a little late, but he still picked up the ball.
Suddenly, the lights in the house flickered, the singing stopped abruptly, and everyone stopped and looked towards them.
Qin Muchen felt a little lost holding the ball in his hand, when suddenly everything in the room changed.
All the happy scenes disappeared in an instant, and the scene was changed again to burnt walls, broken chandeliers and a messy hall.
The child's beautiful clothes were gone, his body was broken from being burned by the flames, and his face was covered in blood.
This is what it looked like after being burned to death. It is shocking to see.
"Click, click, click!" The head turned, and the scarlet eyes stared at them intently.
Eight children walked slowly towards them barefoot, emitting a black evil aura.
"What happened?" Qin Muchen frowned, not knowing why the warm scene suddenly disappeared.
Meng Fuling subconsciously grabbed his hand: "We are intruders in the dream, the evil spirit has discovered us!"
She originally wanted to enter the dream silently, find Qin Muting's soul and bring her back.
But they didn't expect to be discovered by it so quickly, but the children didn't seem to attack them.
After all, this is a dream, and it is not difficult to use anyone to kill them.
"Guess, guess, guess!" The girl walking in front tilted her head and recited.
The children behind him also chimed in: "Guess who among us is the ghost?"
"Hahaha!" Several children immediately laughed and turned around and ran in all directions: "Come and catch ghosts."
"Come on! If I catch a ghost, I'll follow you. If I catch a ghost, I'll follow you!"
The eight children disappeared one after another, and in the blink of an eye, no one knew where they were hiding.
"Interesting!" Meng Fuling smiled. "It seems like this evil ghost is really a child, very playful!"
"First find the little girl who just had her hair braided!" She looked towards the first floor.
When they were little they played hide and seek, but now they are looking for the little ghost.
"Hide and seek, meow meow meow, I found it."
Meng Fuling walked to the stairwell while muttering and opened the door. A little boy was hiding inside.
"Haha, you guessed wrong!" The boy turned around and disappeared from their sight.
It seems that this is not the ghost, so we have to continue looking for it.
The two searched for a long time and found seven children, but the girl was missing.
Too much time has passed, and the aroma of rhino horn is becoming less and less.
Meng Fuling glanced at the time and said, "We don't have much time left to fall asleep. Let's split up and look for the little girl."
"Okay!" Qin Muchen walked upstairs, and the floor made a creaking sound as he stepped on it.
The only sound he could hear in the silence was his footsteps. The orphanage was a dark room with ruins everywhere.
"Hula" a black shadow quickly ran towards the opposite side and soon disappeared from his sight.
"Don't run!" Qin Muchen chased after him and came to the door of a room.
There were many paintings on the walls, but because of the fire, only the broken corners were left, and they were pitch black and could not be seen clearly.
He remembered that Mu Ting once said that there was a painting studio on the second floor of the orphanage.
In the past, she loved drawing in it the most, and every time her drawing would be posted on the wall by the teacher and praised.
Qin Muchen saw the painting on the wall and Tingting's name was written in the corner.
The painting shows two little girls holding hands, but unfortunately half of it was burned and it is difficult to see who is in the painting.
Although the dream is so real, where is the ghost hiding?
"Crash!" He heard a faint sound, and looked towards the black and burnt cabinet.
He walked over slowly and opened the cabinet door. A thin figure was squatting inside.
She hid in the closet, raised her head and looked over expectantly with a surprised expression: "Brother, you found me!"
"Tingting!" Qin Muchen recognized her at a glance: "Great, brother finally found you!"
He hugged his sister tightly and said, "Hurry up and leave here with your brother!"
Qin Muting nodded while crying: "Brother, I miss you so much. They won't let me leave here."
"I just kept hiding, afraid they would find me."
Qin Muchen took her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, brother is here and will take you home soon!"
"Okay!" Tingting followed Qin Muchen downstairs to meet Meng Fuling.
A dim light shone from the stairs, and the figure on the wall gradually lengthened.
Suddenly, a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips, and she held a knife that shone coldly in her hand.
"Haha, you guessed wrong!" Laughter came from behind.
"Brother, you should stay here too. Stay here and play with me forever." She raised the sharp blade and stabbed it towards his back.
