Joker Game (Fei Gua) Chapter 6: Orphanage
Chen Xiao's hand was in pain, as if it was on fire, and he felt that the bone of his little finger was broken. Fortunately, the madness in my heart has disappeared.
In the few minutes just now, his consciousness was in chaos, and there was also a kind of paranoia and madness that was infinitely magnified. This feeling made him...well, it's not scary, but rather familiar.
Although he knew what he looked like, Chen Xiao was still blank about the past.
"Well, it seems that the next step is to find out who I am!" Chen Xiao thought.
At this time, Mr. Zou's voice came: "Hey, kid, it's time!"
"But before that, we have to get this contract done!" Chen Xiao shrugged and walked over.
……
In order to avoid the suspicion of making up the word count, some irrelevant descriptions are omitted here.
Now, the four of them were standing in front of the orphanage, each wearing a miniature video camera on their collars in addition to a flashlight in their hands.
"I remind you again, everything must be done according to my instructions after entering, otherwise...you understand." Mr. Zou said to the four of them politely. Then he made a "please" gesture. He stared at Chen Xiao and emphasized: "Especially you."
The four of them entered the gate of the orphanage one file at a time. Because there was a small yard in front of the building, they needed to walk some distance first. The brawny man walked in front, and Four Eyes Boy stood side by side with him, but stood a little behind, followed by Chen Xiao, and the uncle named Jia Renliang deliberately walked behind him in the blind spot of his sight. It seems that he has a lot of complaints about Chen Xiao's behavior of "revealing scars in public"... Nonsense, it's good that he didn't fight you **** the spot, okay?
However, Chen Xiao didn't pay much attention to it, and just habitually began to look around while walking.
The entire compound was filled with a dilapidated and desolate emptiness, and the surrounding entertainment facilities were also plain gray and white. Weeds had grown on the ground, swaying in the wind with a layer of dust, and a fence was surrounded by old iron bars. The paint leather on it had been lifted and peeled off, revealing the iron rods covered with rust. Looking at the entire orphanage, there is a simple and old feeling.
At this time, Mr. Zou's voice came from the earphones: "Please hurry up, don't block the camera after entering the building, and keep each other within the field of vision! Don't do unnecessary things!"
"Uh... I don't hide that I'm anxious." Chen Xiao thought. After that, I walked to the seesaw on the side..., sat on it and started to play by myself.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, with expressions of bewilderment on their faces.
After about 5 seconds...
"Chen Xiao! What the **** are you doing??" Mr. Zou roared in the headset.
Chen Xiao frowned, obviously shaken by this voice. He got off the seesaw, grabbed a bunch of weeds by his feet and placed them in front of his eyes, watching and talking.
"The sponges under the seats on both sides have rotted, and the dust on them is very uneven, which is left after being scattered by rain again and again. The brackets are full of rust, and the backrest is terribly dirty. This seesaw is the least No one sat there for half a year."
A moment of silence...
Afterwards, Mr. Zou started roaring again!
"Nonsense! It's been a long time since I saw this broken seesaw, so it's been a while since I saw it. Do you have to sit on it and swing it?"
Chen Xiao was stunned by the sound in the earphones, then dropped the weed in his hand and said, "This seesaw has been moved before! And it moves often!"
This time, Mr. Zou's voice didn't sound again, and the other three people in the party also frowned, apparently waiting for Chen Xiao to explain.
"The rust on the axle has fallen off, and the movement is effortless at all. The weeds on both sides of the seesaw grow in the same way. If it keeps tilting up and down for a long time, there will be a small area that will not be exposed to sufficient sunlight, and even because of If you press it for a long time, no grass will grow!" Chen Xiao said.
In fact, he was very reluctant to explain so much. After all, it only took him a moment to think of these things, but it took a lot of effort to explain them. But now I have to explain, there are three reasons, the first point, of course, is because there is a bomb in the ear, brother, he always behaves strangely, when he gets angry, he just "bangs", and his brains fly everywhere! What should I do! As for the second and third, we will talk about it later.
At this time, everyone was also lost in thought. No one came to this orphanage for a long time, who would move this seesaw.
Suddenly, at this moment, Chen Xiao made another move...
He took the cushion off one end of the seesaw!
Yes, demolished! It was torn with bare hands, and the inside was covered with spongy rags, and it looked extremely ferocious from the back.
"What the **** are you doing again!!!" Mr. Zou's voice came again, but this time it wasn't a growl, but a faint pain in the egg.
Chen Xiao also finished tearing, panting heavily. Said: "In order to verify what I just said, indeed, no one has sat in this seat for at least half a year, so why does this seesaw move?"
"Why?" Mr. Zou asked.
"Probably someone is so bored that they come here every now and then to play with their hands, but it's unlikely!"
"So...?" Mr. Zou asked again.
Putting his hands in his pockets, Chen Xiao said coolly, "I didn't think of that!"
...
There was another silence,
"Okay, hurry up and go in, you don't need to explain too much when you find something in the future, just report the result directly, we don't have much time!"
"Well... there is a time limit, no wonder you are always in such a hurry!" Chen Xiao thought, and walked towards the gate of the building while the three of them seemed to be looking at something strange.
The second reason for grinding and grinding: for the sake of not grinding in the future!
"Hmm...it's wooden, and looks like this. It seems that the government didn't allocate much money for the construction." He thought, and then he went up to smell it, and then even licked it with his tongue. Satisfied, baji baji mouth.
There was a chill in everyone's heart......
At this moment, Chen Xiao turned his head and glanced at the three people who were still standing there, like a gorilla visiting a zoo, and put on a smile that he thought was very friendly.
"Hey, come here, we're going in!" He said enthusiastically.
The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and then they couldn't help but frowned. This smile was really unacceptable.
...
Pushing open the door, the four of them walked in. Just as everyone imagined, it was very dark inside, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the door. You could barely see a hall in front of you, with a small sign in the center that said "Sunshine Orphanage" and two sides on both sides. There is an upward staircase, and there are two corridors on both sides of the hall.
"Use mine first!" said the strong man, and turned on the flashlight in his hand.
It seemed that he didn't want to take this opportunity to test which of the other three would do the wasteful act of turning on multiple flashlights at the same time.
"A smart, strong and confident person." Chen Xiao thought.
At this time, Mr. Zou's voice came from the earphone again, "Everyone, please go directly to the second floor."
"Huh? There is a problem!" A thought flashed through.
Soon, the four of them came to the second floor, a platform, and the hall on the first floor could be seen through the railings, and the rest of the structure was the same as the first floor.
"Explore every room on the second floor, with your back to the stairs, first to the left, then to the right. Emphasize, don't block the camera!" Mr. Zou's voice sounded.
"Well, it's like a real haunted house adventure!" Siyanzi muttered. Afterwards, he looked towards Chen Xiao, and the two happened to meet their eyes.
"Hi, my name is Liu Yi!" Siyan Boy greeted proactively.
Chen Xiao had a good time.
"My name is Chen Xiao, you know it." He said, and looked up and down at the four-eyed boy.
"Hmm... obviously just an otaku, is this kid also a death row prisoner?" He was a little puzzled.
At this time, the four of them had arrived at the corridor on the left of the second floor. On one side was a wall, most of which had fallen off. On the other side were four rooms, which should be classrooms. The afterglow of the sky was so dim that it couldn't shine in at all. The muscular man walking in front was about to open the first door when he suddenly thought of something.
"Would you like to take a look first?" He looked at Chen and said with a smile.
Chen Xiao was taken aback for a moment: "Uh, no, I've read it."
The muscular man frowned, and said lightly, "You can call me White Bear." Then he pushed open the door of the room.
"White Bear? It's something like a nickname, right? A soldier? A private mercenary group?" Chen Xiao walked into the room as he thought about it.
This is indeed a classroom, not very big, the desks are arranged crookedly, as if after school, the students here never came back. Liu Yi conveniently pressed the switch on the wall, but the light did not turn on.
Mr. Zou's voice came: "Everyone, please turn on the flashlights, each in one direction. Describe what you see, starting with Chen Xiao, and be brief."
"Okay, okay." Chen Xiao said lazily, and turned on the flashlight. At this time, he was standing on the teacher's podium.
"In a classroom, the age of the students is generally six or seven years old from the desks and chairs. The chalk scratches on the blackboard are very shallow, and it is estimated that they are not used very often. There is no scribble on the wall, it is very clean, and there is not even a fingerprint. No."
As he spoke, he pointed the flashlight at the podium: "The dust isn't too thick, it's been more than half a year. Huh? There are traces of being touched here. Someone came here, about three or four days ago."
Immediately afterwards, he squatted down, pointing the flashlight at the ground: "Four people, three men and one woman. One man is very fat, at least 180 catties."
As soon as this sentence was said, the other three people came together.
"Has anyone been here?" Liu Yi asked!
But before Chen Xiao could answer, Mr. Zou said in the headset: "Please don't discuss this issue, go back to your place and describe what you saw. Immediately!"
The four of them are not stupid, of course they already know that they are not the first batch of people to enter this orphanage, so what happened to those people before, were they released after completing the contract? Fantasy is good, but reality should not be so good.
Soon, the other three also finished describing what they saw, which were nothing more than tables, chairs, benches, dust and the like. The only thing worth noting is that apart from the dust, the walls and educational facilities are well maintained. Such a situation is really rare in an orphanage where most of the people are in preschool.
"Okay, now please go to the next classroom." Said in the headset. And the four of them also walked away very obediently. During this process, Bai Xiong walked past Chen Xiao and bumped into him lightly, as if he didn't mean to. Then a very thin stick-shaped object was stuffed into Chen Xiao's hand.
"Hmm...it's a pencil! Did you find it just now? It's pretty good." Chen Xiao thought, and stuffed the pencil into his trouser pocket very naturally.
...
Pushing open the second door, this classroom is similar to the previous one, with footprints still on the ground, it is obvious that the same group of people have been here a few days ago.
Similarly, the four were asked to describe what they saw. Chen Xiao just said a few words this time, and the other three didn't find anything special. Mr. Zou didn't say anything, and asked the four People went to the third classroom.
It seems that the last batch of people who came here also did the same job ~IndoMTL.com~ to observe and describe, so they already know about the situation here. So the question is, why would they do this? If we only speculate from "I want to know the environment here", why not get a small remote control plane or something and attach a camera, which can also achieve this effect.
That is to say, this job can only be done by human beings, and you have to find people who will die in vain, so staying here must be life-threatening! Is it a monster? ghost? Then why not just blow up here. The group of people outside obviously looked like they could "blow up a building at will".
Chen Xiao just kept thinking in his mind. At the same time, he observed all the things he saw and connected them together. The gentleman made some content out of his words, and then at the same time, observed every move of the other three people. Again and again at the same time, I still don’t forget to take a moment to echo my own face, it seems really ugly...
Unknowingly, the four of them had come to the fourth classroom. During this process, Chen Xiao knew that the last group of people came during the daytime, because the curtains of the third classroom were pulled open. Traces, the uncle named Jia Renliang has been looking at him from time to time, it seems that he has not calmed down. Ice Bear secretly stuffed a piece of paper into his pocket, how could this kid always find something messy. Liu Yi saw many things, but he deliberately hid them and did not say them out. Mr. Zou seems to have not slept for three or four days.
Above all, he was in a hurry.
"What is he in a hurry for?" Chen Xiao wondered, looking at the little sunshine outside the window, "Could it be what happens after dark?"
At this moment, Bai Xiong casually walked past Chen Xiao and handed him a piece of paper...
