Chapter 4: Iris Flower (4)

Mu Qin suddenly understood something, and he said in horror: "As far as I know, Tarot cards have a distinction between upright and reverse. When the cards are upright, they have positive meanings, and when the cards are upside down, they have negative meanings. Foreign fortune tellers I like to use this kind of thing to test people's fate and luck."

Han Li also understood this time, and suddenly reached out and took the upside-down Fool card in Mu Qin's hand and threw it on the ground. Just drop it, I don't want the head office!"

Qiu Zijia seemed to find a chance to laugh at Han Li, and he laughed maliciously: "Many item cards in the game are bound, you can't just throw them if you want, if this killing game If there is such a thing as binding, even if you throw it away, the card will still come back to you unknowingly."

"Fart." Han Li glared at Qiu Zijia, and she threw the upside-down Fool card at her feet, Then stepped on a few feet hard.

Afterwards, the four people continued to search the orphanage with an optimistic and careless attitude. They mainly searched in the apartment area where the children lived in the orphanage. I checked the laundry room and other places one by one.

They found nothing in the safekeeping room where the keys were most likely to be stored, but rows of empty, rusty cabinets.

Because it is an abandoned building, there is basically nothing left in the rooms here. Unused tables, chairs, and boards are piled up in the corners, rotten and moldy, and they will break if you step on them. There are also some children's clothes scattered on the ground, covering the A thick layer of dust.

A large area of ​​the wall peeled off, and many black water stains were left on the ceiling due to flooding and other reasons. There were dilapidated and deserted scenes everywhere, but the magic was that the power system was still operating normally in an orphanage that had been abandoned. Qin and the others could still turn on the lights in the room.

It's just that the lights are too dim, turning on the lights is like not turning on, and some lights are still flickering because of disrepair, making such a desolate ghost place even more eerie, making people feel like they are in a terrible horror movie. world.

Exploring such a dark and terrifying place, Mu Qin and the big men are okay, but Han Li, who is a woman, can't bear it, so when Mu Qin and the others walked to the second floor to continue exploring, Han Li told Qiu Zijia and Mu Qin Qin said: "You guys continue to check, how about I wait for you in the corridor?"

This sentence made Qiu Zijia firmly object: "We can't get separated, we must act together."

"But those rooms are too depressing." Han Li shook his head Standing firm, she held her chest and looked breathless, "I don't want to go in, I feel like I can't breathe, at worst I will follow you to the door of each room, you search in the room, I stand at the door and wait, By the way, I can watch the wind... If something comes, I can remind you as soon as possible."

When Han Li said this, several people thought it was good, and agreed to Han Li's request after several discussions, and then they came to The second floor of the apartment area, the second floor here seems to be a children's activity room. There are small concert halls, small recreation rooms, and dollhouses where these orphans can play.

Qiu Zijia first opened the door of the activity room, took a few steps, took a look and said to Mu Qin, "This orphanage is well equipped with everything you need."

Mu Qin also went in and took a look, This activity room should be reserved for younger and older children. There are table tennis tables and some sports facilities, but these facilities are almost rotten.

Han Li waited at the door as agreed in advance. After searching, they found that there were not many valuable things, so they withdrew and continued to search the next toy house.

The dollhouse is completely reserved for the very young children. The floor is specially laid with wooden floors, and there are colorful patchwork carpets. It is filled with all kinds of toys. It is a paradise for children.

However, due to abandonment, this toy house is dilapidated, the wooden floor creaks when stepped on, the patchwork carpet seems to have been burned, and it is scorched black, and all the toys are damaged... It seems that they were damaged by human violence , dolls or building blocks are all smashed to pieces under violent blows.

As soon as the light was turned on, all the unrecognizable toys were piled up in the corner. A teddy bear with only one eye left and a lot of gray-black cotton protruding from its stomach was sitting on the top of the toy pile. Its angle made its head face the Looking at Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and others who entered the door, it seemed to be watching them silently with the remaining eyes.

This little bear sitting silently on the top of the toy pile seemed to startle Qiu Zijia. Qiu Zijia suddenly looked angry and said: "Which bastard piled up the toys like this! I was shocked!"

Mu Qin glanced at Qiu Zijia , Disapprovingly: "It's just a bunch of toys..."

Qiu Zijia emphasized: "You don't understand, it's not the toys that scare me, it's the atmosphere!"

Mu Qin was still a little puzzled, he just felt that the pile of broken toys hooked Brings back some of his rare memories.

Mu Qin was also an orphan before and stayed in the orphanage. Although he didn't stay for long, he grew up there until he was about three years old before being taken away by his adoptive parents.

Now Mu Qin can't remember what happened when he was three years old, only some fragments, such as the little bear puppet in front of him...Mu Qin remembers that when he was in the orphanage, whenever he cried, someone would grab him Put a bear doll similar to this one in front of him to coax him.

Thinking of this, Mu Qin couldn't help stepping forward, wanting to take down the bear puppet from the toy pile to have a look, but someone was one step faster than Mu Qin.

Cheng Guoxu, who had been silent behind Mu Qin, suddenly stretched out his hand and took the little bear away first.

Mu Qin was shocked by Cheng Guoxu's sudden action, he was dumbfounded for a moment, turned his head to look at Guoxu, and found that Cheng Guoxu was holding the little bear puppet in his hand and observing carefully.

After observing for a while, Cheng Guoxu raised his head and said to Mu Qin: "These... are toys produced in the toy factory where I work."

Cheng Guoxu's words made Qiu Zijia, who was startled next to him, also reacted, and leaned his head to look at Cheng Guoxu. With the little bear doll in Xu's hand, he asked, "You mean this little bear? Is it produced by your factory?"

"It's not just this bear." Cheng Guoxu said and turned his head to look at the pile of toys piled up there. The toys that come out have the factory's unique stamp on them, and I can recognize them at a glance."

Cheng Guoxu said a long series of words, which Qiu Zijia listened to carefully, and said thoughtfully: "Then this This thing is interesting."

Mu Qin didn't understand what Qiu Zijia meant, so he asked him, "What's interesting?"

Qiu Zijia replied, "I was thinking about a question just now, Mu Qin...do you still remember when you were a child? What is the name of the orphanage I went to?"

Mu Qin said: "I don't remember... I left that orphanage when I was three years old, and I have no memory at all, and my adoptive parents didn't tell me the name or name of the orphanage. Address. Of course, I never thought about investigating."

Qiu Zijia saw that he couldn't get an answer from Mu Qin, so he had to explain himself: "I have an older brother."

Mu Qin couldn't understand why Qiu Zijia brought the topic up to his brother He went to Qiu Zijia and said to Qiu Zijia: "The main point."

"He is not my own brother, he was adopted by my parents." Qiu Zijia said, "My parents were diagnosed with infertility before giving birth to me, so they adopted my brother, but A few years after adopting my brother, my mother got pregnant by accident and became pregnant with me."

"Of course that's not the point, the point is...my brother seems to be a child adopted by my parents from a family called 'Iris Flower Orphanage', He died many years ago, and he committed suicide a few years after I was born."

Mu Qin felt that he had already guessed what Qiu Zijia meant, but he still directly asked Qiu Zijia for confirmation: "What do you want to say?"

" Don't you find it strange?" Qiu Zijia pointed to himself, "My brother came out of this orphanage."

Then Qiu Zijia pointed to Cheng Guoxu: "And the factory this guy works in provides the orphanage with children's needs. toys."

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Zijia lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to be heard by Han Li who was waiting outside, and he said softly: "There is also the female teacher outside, didn't she say that she was a kindergarten teacher before? The face in the room is weird, I bet she has an impression of this orphanage, maybe she took care of these orphans here when she was a kindergarten teacher."

"The last is you, although you said you have no impression, but you are also very impressed ." It might be an orphan who used to stay here... Well, it's very possible." Qiu Zijia finally shifted the focus of the topic to Mu Qin.

Mu Qin thought for a while and smiled at Qiu Zijia: "Excellent inference, but is there any significance? Apart from proving that several of us are connected with this orphanage."

Qiu Zijia immediately shook his head in embarrassment: "I want to It doesn't make any sense, but it may be some clues, after all, they left us in such a ghost place, they should be careful."

Mu Qin praised him: "You are very smart, you deserve to study science. " Qiu Zijia

, who was praised, was very happy, and touched the back of his head modestly: "No, this kind of thing can be easily deduced as long as you understand the basic information."

Even the pile of toys in the corner were pushed down by them, and all the toys were thoroughly checked.

However, after searching for a long time, they still didn't find any valuable clues. Several people decided to leave here and go to the next room. Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu went out one by one, and Mu Qin walked last.

When he was about to go out, he remembered something, he remembered the little bear toy just now.

I don't know what kind of force is driving Mu Qin, Mu Qin wants to look back at the room, he wants to see the teddy bear that Cheng Guoxu placed on the table, but when Mu Qin turned his head to look, he But saw an astonishing scene.

The dollhouse that had just been turned into a mess by Mu Qin and others, now returned to its original appearance when they first entered the door in the blink of an eye!

The tattered toys are still piled up in the corner pile of the old place, and the bear puppet is still sitting on the top of the toy pile, looking at Mu Qin with its one-eyed button.

This bizarre scene frightened Mu Qin. He opened his mouth to call Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu back to have a look.

"Mu Qin, that female teacher is gone!" Qiu Zijia shouted anxiously outside.

Qiu Zijia's words brought Mu Qin back to his senses. He temporarily forgot about the weird scene in this dollhouse, and walked out quickly to look at the corridor. There were only Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu outside, and the female teacher named Han Li was nowhere to be seen.
