Chapter 4: Iris 04: Missing female teacher.

Muqin suddenly understood something, and he was frightened: "As far as I know, the tarot card has a distinction between upside and downside. The upright face of the card is a positive allegory, and the inverted face of the card is a negative allegorical. Those foreign fortune tellers I like to test people's fate and luck with this kind of thing. "
Han Li also understood this time, and suddenly reached out and threw the inverted fool card in Muqin's hand and threw it on the ground, with a dumb look: "In any case, it's good to throw away this bad card, I don't want the head office!"
Qiu Zijia seems to have found a chance to laugh at Han Li, and he laughed maliciously: "Many prop cards in the game are bound, and you can't throw them if you want to throw them. If there is binding in this killing game, you can throw If you drop, the card will still come back to you unknowingly. "
"Fart." Han Li gave Qiu Zijia a glance, and she threw the inverted fool's card under her foot, and then stomped on it a few feet.
After that, the four people continued to search the orphanage with an optimistic and careless attitude. They searched mainly in the apartment area where the children of the orphanage lived. They also searched the offices, clinics, and storage rooms on the first floor. There are laundry rooms and other places have been checked one by one.
They found nothing in the vault where they were most likely to store the keys. There were only rows of empty, rusty cabinets.
Because it is an abandoned building, there is basically nothing left in the room here. The unusable tables and chairs are stacked in the corners. The rot and mold are broken as soon as they are stepped on, and some children's clothes are scattered on the ground and covered. A thick layer of dust.
The wall peeled off a large area, and many black water stains were left on the ceiling due to flooding. The scene was dilapidated and desolate, but the magic is that the orphanage was abandoned and the power system was still operating normally. Mu Qin et al can still turn on the lights in the room.
It ’s just that the lights are too dim, and the lights are turned on as if they were n’t turned on. Some lights are still flashing because of disrepair, making such a desolate ghost place more spooky and horrible, as if in a terrible horror movie. The world.
When exploring in such a dark and horrible place, several big men of Muqin were okay. Han Li, a woman, was a bit intolerable. So when Muqin went to the second floor together to continue exploring, Han Li told Qiu Zijia and Mu Chin said, "You keep checking. How about I wait for you in the corridor?"
This sentence led Qiu Zijia to resolutely oppose: "We cannot leave, we must act together."
"But those rooms are too depressing." Han Li shook her head and stood firm, holding her chest out of breath, "I don't want to go in, I feel like I can't breathe, so I'll follow you to the door of each room, you Searching in the room, I stood at the door of the room and waited for the wind, by the way ... if something comes up, I can remind you as soon as possible. "
According to Han Li, several people thought it was good. After several discussions, they agreed to Han Li's request. After that, they came to the second floor of the apartment area. The second floor here seemed to be a children's room. There are small concert halls, small entertainment rooms, and toy houses, which are places where these orphans can play.
Qiu Zijia first opened the door of the activity room, walked into the room in two steps and said to Mu Qin, "The equipment in this orphanage is quite complete. It should be available."
Muqin also followed and took a few glances. This activity room should be reserved for the younger children. There are table tennis tables and some sports facilities, but these facilities are almost rotten.
Han Li waited at the door as previously stated. After searching, they found that there were not many valuable things, and then pulled out and continued to search for the toy house next to it.
The toy house is completely reserved for young children. The floor is purposely laid into a wooden floor, and there are colorful mosaic carpets, which are filled with various toys, which is simply a paradise for children.
However, because of the abandonment, the toy house was dilapidated, the wooden floor squeaked, the spliced ​​carpet seemed to be burned, a large area was burnt, and all the toys were damaged ... it seemed to be damaged by human violence. , Dolls or building blocks are all shattered under the violent blow.
As soon as the light was turned on, all unrecognizable toys were piled up in the corner. A teddy bear with only one eye and a large amount of gray-black cotton on the stomach sat on the top of the toy pile, and its angle was so that his head was facing directly Mu Qin and Qiu Zijia, who were approaching the door, looked at them silently with their remaining eyes.
This little bear sitting silently at the top of the toy pile seemed to startle Qiu Zijia. Qiu Zijia's face was not so angry and angrily said: "Which stacked the toys like this! Scared me!"
Mu Qin glanced at Qiu Zijia, disapproving: "No, it's just a bunch of toys ..."
Qiu Zijia emphasized: "You don't understand, it's not the toy that scares me, it's the atmosphere!"
Muqin was still a little puzzled. He just felt that these tattered toys evoke some of his rare memories.
Muqin was an orphan before, and he also stayed in the orphanage. Although he didn't stay for a long time, he also grew up there almost to the age of three before being taken away by his adoptive parents.
Now Muqin can't remember what happened at the age of three. There are only fragmentary fragments, such as the little puppet in front of him ... Muqin remembers that when he was in the orphanage, as soon as he cried, someone would take it A bear-like doll similar to this was put in front of him to coax him.
Thinking of this, Mu Qin could not help but step forward and wanted to take down the bear puppet on the toy pile to see, but someone was a step faster than Mu Qin.
Cheng Guoxu, who had been silent behind Mu Qin, suddenly reached out and took the bear away.
Mu Qin was shocked by Cheng Guoxu's sudden move. For a moment, he turned his head to look at Cheng Guoxu, and found that Cheng Guoxu was holding the bear puppet in his hand to observe carefully.
After observing for a while, Cheng Guoxu looked up and said to Mu Qin, "These ... are the toys produced in the toy factory where I work."
Cheng Guoxu's words made Qiu Zijia, who was frightened next to him, react too. He crossed his head to look at the bear doll in Cheng Guoxu's hand and asked, "Do you say this little bear? Is it produced by your factory?"
"It's not just this bear." Cheng Guoxu said and turned to look at the pile of toys stacked there. "Everything else is basically, our toy factory makes all kinds of cottage toys, so there are everything, but do The toys come out with unique factory markings, which I can recognize at a glance. "
Cheng Guoxu rarely said a long list of words, Qiu Zijia listened carefully in his ears, and thoughtfully, "That thing is interesting."
Mu Qin did not understand what Qiu Zijia meant, and asked him, "What's interesting?"
Qiu Zijia replied to Mu Qin and said, "I was just thinking about a question, Mu Qin ... Do you remember the name of the orphanage you used to have when you were a kid?"
Muqin said, "I don't remember ... I left the orphanage when I was three years old, and I had no impression at all, and my adoptive parents did not tell me the name or address of the orphanage. Of course, I never thought about asking survey."
Seeing no answer from Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia had to explain to himself: "I have an older brother."
Mu Qin couldn't understand why Qiu Zijia drew the topic to his brother, so he said to Qiu Zijia: "The key point."
"He was not my brother, but 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 after adopting my brother for a few years, the mother accidentally became pregnant, pregnant Got me. "
"Of course this is not the point. The point is ... My brother seems to be a child adopted by his parents from an iris orphanage. He died many years ago. In the years after my birth, he Suicide. "
Mu Qin felt that he had guessed what Qiu Zijia meant, but he still directly asked Qiu Zijia: "What do you want to say?"
"Don't you find it strange?" Qiu Zijia pointed to himself, "My brother came out of this orphanage."
Qiu Zijia then pointed at Cheng Guoxu: "The factory where this guy works provides the orphanage with the toys that children need."
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Zijia lowered her voice. It seemed that she didn't want to be heard by Han Li who was waiting outside. He whispered, "There is also the female teacher outside. Didn't she say that she was a kindergarten before? This woman has searched these from just now The face in the room was strange, and I bet she had an impression of this orphanage and said that she had taken care of these orphans when she did not make a custom kindergarten. "
"It's you at the end, although you say you have no impression, but you are most likely an orphan who has stayed here ... well, the possibility is still very high." Qiu Zijia said that the focus of the topic was on Mu Qin.
Mu Qin thought about it, and laughed at Qiu Zijia: "Wonderful inference, but does it make any sense? Except to prove that several of us are connected with this orphanage."
Qiu Zijia also suddenly shook her head with difficulty: "I can't think of any meaning for the time being, but it may become some clue. After all, they should leave us in such a ghost place with a little heart."
Muqin praised him: "You are very clever. You are indeed a science student."
Qiu Zijia, who was praised, was very happy, and touched the back of her head modestly: "However, as long as you understand the basic information, you can easily infer it."
During the talk, they turned the toy house over, and even the pile of toys piled in the corner was pushed down by them together, and all the toys were thoroughly checked.
However, after turning around for a long time, no valuable clues were found. 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 came last.
When he was about to go out, he remembered something, he remembered the bear toy just now.
I don't know what kind of power is driving Muqin. Muqin wants to look back at the room. He wants to see the bear toy that Cheng Guoxu put on the table. But when Muqin turned his head, he looked But saw an amazing scene.
The toy house, which was just turned upside down by Muqin and others, is now restored to their original appearance when they first entered the door in the blink of an eye!
Tattered toys are still piled up in the corner pile of the old place, and the little bear puppet is still sitting at the top of the toy pile, looking at Mu Qin with one button made of it.
This bizarre scene frightened Mu Qin. He opened his mouth to call out Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu who had just gone outside, but Mu Qin opened his mouth and did not yell out. Instead, Qiu Zijia took the lead.
"Mu Qin, that female teacher is gone!" Qiu Zijia anxiously shouted outside.
Qiu Zijia pulled Mu Qin back to his mind. He temporarily forgot about the weird scene in this toy house, and quickly walked out to take a look at the corridor. There was only Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu outside.
