The construction of Little Mirror Lake had started. First, they had to pave the road.
When they started, Chen Zhao went over to take a look. Felwood Cisco was supervising the work.
Today, he would go to the gym in the morning and train Normans in the afternoon.
In the evening, Chen Zhao was about to call a taxi home when he received a call from the director of the orphanage.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. Do you remember me? I'm the director of Greenleaf Orphanage, Yucis Kerry."
Chen Zhao thought of the old lady from the orphanage. He remembered that he'd given her a name card.
"Yes, Ms. Yucis. How can I help you?"
"Yes, I hope you can help me."
"Can you tell me the specifics?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone. Can you come over?"
Chen Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. "Sure."
Chen Zhao was willing to help the orphans if he could.
However, he really didn't like the atmosphere of the orphanage. The gloomy and desolate atmosphere was very oppressive.
However, Chen Zhao couldn't reject a request from the director of the orphanage.
Since that was the case, he would go over.
Chen Zhao remembered the orphanage's address quite clearly. It was 399 Rodier Street.
When he reached the orphanage, Yucis was already waiting for him at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Hello, Ms. Yucis."
Yucis Kerry's expression was very serious. She looked even thinner than before.
Leading Chen Zhao into the orphanage, Yucis' footsteps were heavy.
Chen Zhao asked, "Yucis, can you tell me what's going on?"
"After Christmas, Cheryl became a bit strange," Yucis said.
"Cheryl? That girl from last time? "
"Yes, that's her." Director Yucis nodded and said, "She used to like Kerry very much. Kerry is the volunteer that you treated last time. But after Christmas, Cheryl's personality started to change, and she always did some weird things. Kerry tried to talk her out of it a few times, but she ignored him. Recently, I noticed that the food in the kitchen kept going missing. We installed a camera in the kitchen, and last night, we found that it was Cheryl who went in."
"Maybe she didn't eat enough during the day," Chen Zhao said.
"I hope that's it."
"Isn't it?"
Yucis looked serious. "She's eating raw meat."
Chen Zhao almost choked. Eat raw meat?
"Yes, she's eating raw meat."
Eat raw meat? What kind of illness was that?
Chen Zhao had no clue, but he could only make a judgment after seeing Cheryl.
"Is it my imagination? I haven't seen any of the children in the orphanage. "
The last time he was here, there were children looking out of the window. Today, there seemed to be no one.
"Teacher took them out to play."
When he entered the main building, he didn't hear any sound. It was as if there was no one there.
"Not a single person?"
"Our orphanage is very poor, and there are not many people. The children are not back yet, so of course there is no one here."
Yucis brought Chen Zhao to an isolation room. Chen Zhao looked inside through the glass on the door. He saw Shirley sitting on the bed, all white.
"Mr. Chen, do you know what happened to Cheryl?"
"I don't know. Can I go in and talk to her?"
"Alright." Yucis opened the door.
After Chen Zhao entered the room, Yucis closed the door again.
"Hi, Cheryl. Do you still remember me?"
Cheryl looked up and nodded.
"I'm here to help you."
"Yucis told you everything?"
"Ms. Yucis said that you're eating raw meat? Is that true? "
"No," Cheryl said.
"Does that mean one of you is lying?" Chen Zhao didn't find anything strange with Cheryl, but Yucis didn't have a reason to lie to him, right?
"She's not Grandma Dean anymore."
"What?" Chen Zhao was confused.
"The orphanage moved, and we were sent to the Queelin Orphanage. I missed Granny Yucis, so I ran back, but she locked me up here and gave me raw meat, but I didn't eat it …"
Chen Zhao frowned. He took out his phone to check, but there was no wifi or signal.
Walking to the door, Chen Zhao knocked. "Ms. Yucis, can you open the door?"
Dean Yucis' face appeared on the glass. "Mr. Chen, if you can help me convince Cheryl to eat dinner, I'll let you out."
"Ms. Yucis, do you know that you're illegally detaining me?"
"You're a doctor. Cheryl is sick. Shouldn't you help me cure her?"
"She's not sick at all." Chen Zhao felt that something was wrong.
"No, she's sick. She needs treatment." With that, Yucis turned to leave. Through the door, Chen Zhao could hear her footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
Chen Zhao returned to Cheryl. "What did Dean Yucis want you to eat?"
Cheryl pointed at a box beside the bed. Chen Zhao opened it. It was actually a brain.
Chen Zhao immediately closed the lid. A disgusting feeling rose from his stomach.
"Now you understand. Grandma Yucis is crazy. She's no longer the kind dean."
"How long did she lock you up?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Two days."
"Didn't anyone come to find you?"
"Yesterday, I heard some noises outside. It seemed like someone came from outside, but it went silent very quickly." Cheryl sat beside the bed, hugging her legs. She had been in a state of anxiety and fear.
Chen Zhao's head hurt. Why did it feel like a supernatural incident?
The kind old lady had turned into a perverted and cruel monster …
More importantly, Chen Zhao couldn't get through to her phone. He couldn't call the police or ask for help.
"It's dark." Cheryl turned to look at the sky outside the metal fence.
There were no lights in the room. The sky was gradually darkening.
"Mr. Chen, no matter what happens later, please stay calm," Cheryl said to Chen Zhao in a mature tone.
"Will something happen?"
From the beginning to the end, Cheryl hugged her legs and sat on the bed.
She seemed to be waiting for something.
"As long as you don't scream, there won't be any problems."
"Can you tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared?"
Cheryl finally put down her legs. The moonlight shone on her face through the metal fence, making her seem especially bright.
Suddenly, Cheryl dashed forward and slammed into the iron gate.
Pong —
Chen Zhao was shocked. Was Cheryl trying to commit suicide?
Chen Zhao hurriedly helped her up. "Cheryl, are you okay?"
Cheryl shook her head. "I'm fine."
