Chapter 38: Ghosts in the Orphanage

Piaoxue Orphanage.

After a busy day, Dean Leng was about to close the gate, but saw Jiang Chen running hurriedly from a distance.

"Xiaochen, why are you here at this time? Don't you go out to play with your classmates on the weekend?"

Dean Leng looked at Jiang Chen with a smile and asked.

"I just came back from outside the city, and I just came back to take a look when I passed by here."

Seeing that Dean Leng was safe, Jiang Chen's heart was relieved.

"So that's it."

Looking at Jiang Chen, who was trying his best to calm his breath but still breathing rapidly, a soft light flashed in Dean Leng's eyes.

Yunyin University and Piaoxue Orphanage are east and west, and Jiang Chen obviously came here specially.

"Since you reminded me about the rats last time, Xiaochen, I haven't let the little guys run around. Several families around have also made preparations to prevent rats, so nothing will happen."

Dean Leng gently patted the dust on Jiang Chen's clothes and said, "I'm here, just study with peace of mind."

"Yeah."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, but there was still some worry in his eyes.

Ordinary rats are fine, just be careful and you'll be fine.

But if it's the kind of deformed rats he encountered in the wild, the orphanage will be in danger.

"Brother Jiang Chen!"

Just then, a boy poked his head out of the window and shouted loudly to Jiang Chen, then ran downstairs quickly and rushed to Jiang Chen.

"Brother Jiang Chen, why don't you come to see us recently? We're almost bored to death."

The boy said with a wronged look on his face.

"Sorry, Brother Jiang Chen is a bit busy recently. I will definitely come to play with you more often next time, okay?"

Jiang Chen squatted down and rubbed the boy's hair. Fa Cai also crawled out of Jiang Chen's clothes and ran to the top of the boy's head along Jiang Chen's arm.

"Fa Cai, you are here too!"

Seeing Fa Cai appear, the boy immediately forgot about Jiang Chen and ran to the orphanage with Fa Cai. Other little guys who heard the noise also gathered around and played with Fa Cai.

"Dean, can I stay here for one night today?"

Looking at the happy appearance of the little guys, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.

"Of course."

Dean Leng said: "I have always kept your and Xiaoyu's room for you. You can come back anytime."

"Then I'll trouble you, Dean."

...

It was night.

After helping Dean Leng coax the little guys to sleep, Jiang Chen returned to his room.

But he did not fall asleep. After turning off the lights, he leaned against the window and carefully observed the situation outside.

During the meal, Jiang Chen also learned about the recent situation of the orphanage from the little ones.

The director would never tell him about these things.

Like other places, rats have appeared here, but because of Jiang Chen's timely reminder, no one has been injured.

This is definitely good news, but also bad news.

The activity area of ​​the rat group has spread to the orphanage.

Although nothing happened, no one can say when the deformed rats will run in.

The worst result is the appearance of evil spirits like giant rats or silver rats!

For this reason, he specially checked the inside and outside of the orphanage after dinner. Although he didn't find anything unusual, he was still a little worried.

"The ghosts at night... I hope these little guys are seeing it wrong."

...

Da Da~

Fa Cai opened his sleepy eyes, stood up from Jiang Chen's shoulder, looked at his imperial servant who hadn't slept all night, and rubbed his face affectionately.

"Fa Cai, are you awake?"

Feeling Fa Cai's movements, Jiang Chen retracted his gaze and rubbed Fa Cai's head.

Ta da.

Fa Cai nodded, pointed at Jiang Chen, then put his paw on his face and made a sleeping posture.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

As a wildlife photographer, staying up late is definitely a commonplace, but not sleeping for two nights will not have any impact.

But Jiang Chen felt a little heavy because he couldn't find the "ghost" that the little guys said.

There are indeed "ghosts" in this world, but they are uniformly classified as dark creatures.

If the ghost is a dark creature, the threat is even greater than the distorted rat!

"Three days have passed. I don't know if Xiao Yan and Wen Quan have any results."

Looking at the sun rising outside the window, Jiang Chen moved his body and was about to leave, but suddenly saw the fallen leaves in the corner of the yard suddenly move.

"Get rich!"

Jiang Chen pushed the window open, and a golden light suddenly flew out and instantly came to the corner.

The golden light flickered, and the fallen leaves flew.

The sudden attack of Fa Cai directly shook the fallen leaves in the corner away, and at the same time exposed a gray figure.

Rat?

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, rushed to the corner immediately, squatted down and took a closer look.

It was indeed a mouse that appeared in the corner. Although it did not show any symptoms of deformity, its size was obviously beyond the scope of a normal mouse.

But this mouse was already dead.

And the way it died was very strange.

"This wound... is it a burn?"

Looking at the mouse's scalded fur and red body, Jiang Chen was a little surprised and touched the ground around the mouse's body.

The soil was moist and still emitting high temperature. This mouse should have been scalded to death by boiling water.

But this place is far away from the kitchen and bathroom, and there is no hot water pipe nearby. Where does the boiling water come from?

I don't know where the deformed mouse came from;

The ghosts wandering around the orphanage at night;

And this scalded mouse.

"Why do I feel that things are getting more and more complicated."

Jiang Chen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, took out his camera and took a few photos, and then followed the water trail to find it all the way, and soon came to a crooked tree.

This crooked tree has been there since Jiang Chen was a child. It was originally straight, but it was broken by a strong wind once. Although it recovered later, it also grew crooked.

On this crooked tree, Jiang Chen also found traces of water, which led all the way to the outside of the wall.

"Could it be that the unknown existence that scalded the mice to death came in from the outside through this tree?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and went around the outside of the courtyard wall.

This is an abandoned path, where some wild cats and dogs often live.

But when Jiang Chen came over, he did not see the existence of these creatures.

Even the sound of insects was rare.

"Sure enough, there is a problem."

Jiang Chen looked at the crooked tree that had already crossed the courtyard wall and extended to the outside, and patted Fa Cai. Fa Cai immediately understood, and the golden light turned into a blade, directly cutting off the extended part.

"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"

The movement of the tree trunk falling startled Dean Leng, who leaned out of the second-floor window to ask.

"Sorry, Dean, I saw that this tree has grown outside, and I was afraid that it would damage the courtyard wall, so I dealt with it."

Jiang Chen explained to Dean Leng with a little apology, and the dean did not doubt it and started a new day of busyness.

Jiang Chen took advantage of the fact that the others were still asleep, packed up the dead rat, and left quietly.
