Chapter 811 Nightmare Orphanage

Frode's former residence was deep in Tissen Lane.

Angel looked into the lane. It was bright daytime, but this not-so-narrow lane was very deserted and no one was seen.

Angel took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it to the young boy who led the way.

The young boy was the one who came to ask for a living after they entered Bolai Town and saw that they were outsiders. Judging from his clothes, he should be from a poor family.

Angel originally planned to let Frode lead the way, but later thought about it and decided to go and see the situation first. So he hired the boy in front of him to lead the way.

After paying the salary, Angel was ready to send the boy away.

However, after the boy received the heavy gold coin, he showed joy in his eyes. This was the first time the boy had met such a generous outsider. He had planned to take the money and leave, but the other party gave such a large amount of money, he hesitated for a moment and called Angel: "Sir, the residents of Tissen Lane have been completely evacuated recently. If you want to find someone, you'd better go to the Civil Affairs Department to check."

"Empty?" Angel's footsteps, which had already been walking in, suddenly stopped.

Angel looked at the other party curiously: "Why was it evacuated?"

"This..." The boy hesitated for a moment, looked at the wealth in his hand that was enough to make him worry-free for a year, and said: "The mayor has issued a gag order to those who know the truth. However, seeing that the adults are so generous, I can tell the adults quietly."

After the boy said that, he looked around and made sure that there was no one around, and then whispered: "In fact, I don't know much. These are all what I learned from some drinkers. By the way, my name is Song, and I work as a wine waiter at the White Wave Tavern at night."

After Song introduced himself, he began to tell the story about why Tissen Lane was evacuated.

At the end of Tisen Lane, there is an abandoned orphanage. Normally, no one enters. The mayor included it in the later construction plan, but due to the problem of funds and the remote location, the construction has been delayed for more than ten years. Originally, there was nothing unusual about the orphanage, but it was suddenly included in the construction project two years ago, and a construction team began to explore the orphanage.

This exploration led to the unexpected.

"You said the orphanage is haunted?" Angel raised his eyebrows and asked.

Song nodded: "Absolutely right, although I haven't experienced it myself, but those drinkers are very sure. I heard that the people in the construction team saw the shadow of evil spirits, all of which were some scary ghost dolls... and many people died. Later, the residents nearby could hear the voices of children coming from the orphanage from time to time at night, so in order to save their lives, the people in Thyssen Lane moved out one after another. Now, this alley is almost abandoned, and even homeless people are unwilling to live there."

Angel said "Oh" and touched his chin: Frode said before that he used to live in an orphanage.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is probably the orphanage that Song said.

"Is it gone?" Angel saw that Song did not leave, and asked politely.

Song shook his head in a daze: "No more."

"If it's gone, then I'll take my leave. Thank you for your story, the story is very interesting." Angel squinted and smiled faintly. He rubbed Song's hair and turned to leave.

Before Song could flatten his hair, he saw that Angel was going to go further in, so he hurriedly asked: "Sir, are you still going to Tisen Lane? Aren't you afraid?"

"I am afraid of many things, but I am not afraid of evil spirits." Angel continued to walk deeper into Tisen Lane without stopping, but his voice was steadily transmitted to Song's ears.

Song was stunned for a moment and did not understand what Angel meant. However, watching the figures of Angel and Du Lu walking farther and farther, Song took off his somewhat worn hat and saluted to Angel from a distance. Then, he turned and walked towards the center of the town.

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered that there was another thing about Tisen Lane.

Half a year ago, the Royal Knights of the Central Empire came to Bolai Town, and it was said that they were there to deal with the haunted orphanage in Tisen Lane. However, it seemed that they withdrew directly afterwards? He couldn't remember clearly.

Song thought to himself in a low voice: "This matter should not be too important, it doesn't matter whether it is said or not... Besides, that adult should not go to the orphanage to commit suicide, right?"

At this time, Angel was standing in front of a rusty curved iron gate.

On the wall next to the iron gate, there was a shaky iron plate, which was covered with dust. Angel reached out and wiped off some of the dust.

The dust fell, and a row of gray characters on a black background appeared in the center of the iron plate.

The first word has been completely rusted, and the next one is "Dream Orphanage".

This orphanage should be where Frode once stayed. However, according to Frode, he was not an orphan. The reason he lived here was just because his father was the director of this orphanage.

"Mr. Pat, what are you doing here?" Du Lu curiously looked into the orphanage through the crack of the fence.

The wild grass was overgrown with dust everywhere.

The trees that had never been trimmed grew extremely lush, blocking out all the sunlight, making the entire orphanage look a little dark even in the daytime.

The wooden horses and slides where the children played were also covered in dirt. The building in the distance was pitch black, with mottled green algae on the walls.

"I'm here to find something." Angel did not hide it. Although the Dream Conch is a mysterious object, its actual value is not high. It was sold for only 10,000 magic crystals at the Sky Auction more than 30 years ago. Angel said it openly, and he didn't think anyone would snatch it from him.

After all, from the current point of view, his own value is far greater than that of the Dream Conch.

Du Lu said "Oh" and did not continue to ask further, but followed Angel obediently. He also noticed the iron plate on the wall at this time: "Hey, this should be the name of the orphanage, but there is a word missing. What Dream Orphanage? Beautiful Dream Orphanage, or Fantasy Dream Orphanage?"

Angel reached out and pushed open the unlocked iron gate. When he walked in, he responded to Du Lu's doubts.

"The name of the orphanage is Dream." Angel recalled what Frode had said before: "However, before the orphanage was abandoned, the director called it the Dream Orphanage, but the people in the orphanage called it... Nightmare Orphanage."

"Nightmare Orphanage. It sounds like resentment." Du Lu frowned, and he had an inexplicable disgust for this name.

"There is a lot of resentment, and many people died. However, this is the world. Where there is sunshine, there is darkness. Under the beautiful picture, there must be malicious shadows." Angel sighed lightly. Compared with Du Lu, he knew more about the Nightmare Orphanage and felt that human nature was more unpredictable.

The two stepped into the land covered with weeds one after the other.

As soon as Du Lu stood under the shade of the tree, he felt a cold breath lingering around him and shivered unconsciously.

"Sir, this place looks abandoned for a long time. Are there really evil spirits like the boy just mentioned?"

Angel closed his eyes and sensed for a moment: "Although there is a little residual cold breath, I don't feel any malice. Even if there is a soul, it probably hasn't fallen yet."

"That's good, that's good." Du Lu was a little relieved when he heard the news.

Angel added: "Even if it hasn't fallen into the undead, the soul itself can do evil. Maybe the construction workers Song mentioned were killed by the souls here."

Dru was a little scared when he heard it. He trembled all over, and a thin mist covered him.

"Your mist is just pure mist, without any threat. It can't be used as a weapon or for defense. Are you releasing it to scare the evil spirits?" Angel glanced and said jokingly.

Dru nodded like pounding garlic: "Just to scare, tell those who are secretly spying on me...I'm not easy to mess with."

Angel laughed for a while, and didn't judge Du Lu's behavior. However, Dulu was able to transform a small piece of water mist into a mist covering the entire upper body in a short period of time, which shows that he has a strong control over the water system.

And this was done before Dulu became an apprentice, which shows his talent for water.

Soon, they arrived in front of the small building of the orphanage. The three-story building continued the consistent style of Bolai Town, but it was not as bright and elegant as those buildings outside, and it was a bit more gloomy and dim.

When Dulu was still hesitating whether to step in, Angel had already walked in.

Dulu could only follow.

The corridor was very dark, and Dulu took out the fluorite for lighting, but the green light of the fluorite made the corridor covered with dust and cobwebs even more weird.

"Sir, where are you going now?" Dulu asked with some trembling.

"Basement."

Angel came to the utility room behind the stairs according to the location indicated by Frode before. As soon as the door was opened, dust flew out.

"Didn't you say you were going to the basement? Why are you in the utility room?" Dulu raised the fluorite and shone it into the small compartment full of various messy items, and asked.

Angel did not answer, but frowned for a long time without saying anything.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Someone seems to have been here recently." Angel was silent for a moment, "There was too little dust flying out just now, and look at your back..."

Dulu followed Angel's instructions and looked back.

He immediately met a cold eye. Dulu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he took several steps back. In the end, he couldn't help but fell to the ground.

Angel was speechless: "A doll can scare you, don't even think about getting into the wizarding world with your cowardly look."

Dulu only noticed at this time that the one looking at him was a doll in a red dress placed on a pile of garbage. However, under the green light, the doll's originally grinning face looked a bit evil and hideous.

Du Lu swallowed his saliva and choked: "Uh, I didn't notice it just now, I won't do it next time."

Angel didn't bother to pay attention to Du Lu's assurance, pointing at the doll and said: "The dust on the doll's coat is obviously different, someone has touched this doll."

Angel picked up the doll while speaking.

A dusty wall lamp on the wall behind the doll was revealed. He turned the handle of the wall lamp casually, and there was a click. A dark hole appeared on the floor beside Du Lu.

"The basement is below..." Angel pondered.

According to what Frode said, he put the dream conch in the basement. But someone has been to the basement recently. Will other people know about the dream conch?

Angel walked away with doubts and stepped onto the dark stairs that he couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
