This sentence shocked both Su Xue and Li Muhan.

Li Muhan asked tentatively.

"Is the bottle you're talking about the one used to hold marmalade?"

"Well, because the smell of oranges was so strong, I didn't notice it at first, but now that I think about it, it smells like blood."

Su Xue seemed to still want to find a reasonable explanation, she said with some uncertainty.

"Could it be that... the children injured their hands while making jam?"

"It shouldn't be. If you are injured, the teacher will definitely find out. Then it is impossible to just mix the jam with blood and seal it."

At this moment, Amelia Su’s phone rang.

After taking a look at the caller, Su Xue winked at the two of them and pressed the hands-free button.

"......Hello."

There was a dark female voice on the other end of the phone.

"Are you Zhou Ling?"

Su Xue was the first to report the other party's name, also to let Li Muhan and Xia Yue know that the caller was Teacher Zhou, who was responsible for the physical and mental health of the students in the welfare home.

He is also an outlier registered under the supervision of the Special Administration Bureau.

In fact, Li Muhan has always been puzzled as to why this orphanage would allow a foreigner to enter. Didn't the Special Administration Bureau interfere?

But the first thing to do now is to get information.

"Yes...have you been here today?"

"Well, you were probably working at the time, so I didn't bother you to avoid making people suspicious. Do you have time? Let's meet."

"...But, yes, I have one hour to get off work."

Zhou Ling's voice seemed timid, as if she was afraid of something.

"I, I can still feel... something lingering in this orphanage."

What could make an alien so scared?

"Okay, please wait until after get off work hours. Don't overdo it or make people suspicious. I'll send you our location via text message later."

"Well...see you later."

Xia Yue was the first to speak after hanging up the phone.

"She's scared."

"I heard it too."

Li Muhan nodded, looked at Su Xue and asked.

"Sister Xue, did you fund the construction of this welfare home?"

"Yes."

After hearing the affirmative reply, Li Muhan sighed inwardly that the class gap was too damn big.

"Then Sister Xue, you should also have the right to participate in the recruitment of employees here. Why would you accept an alien?"

"To be honest... I was skeptical about this at the beginning, um, but now I can guarantee that she will never hurt the child. On the contrary, there should be no alien in the world who loves children more than her. .”

Li Muhan and Xia Yue looked at each other and decided to meet the person first before talking.

During this hour, the three of them briefly analyzed the matter in the car.

The child must have gone missing. Alien perception is very strong, even if there is something that can take the child away from humans unnoticed.

But he couldn't escape Zhou Ling's sight.

The question is, why did Zhou Ling not stop it, but instead asked the Special Administration Bureau for help.

There may be only one reason.

She is afraid.

An hour later, a young woman wearing a white dress and a black coat walked to the car.

She knocked lightly on the car window, and Su Xue opened the door for her.

The woman sat in the passenger seat, and Li Muhan observed the woman through the rearview mirror.

She should be Zhou Ling. She looks to be less than thirty years old. She has fair skin and a quiet appearance. Although she is not very beautiful, she is very temperamental.

But now she looked a little haggard and anxious, and she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as soon as she got in the car.

But after seeing Xia Yue in the rearview mirror, he suddenly became nervous again.

"Blood, vampire!"

"Don't be nervous, she is a vampire registered under supervision."

"Hello."

Xia Yue and Li Muhan greeted her.

After Su Xue's comfort, Zhou Ling finally calmed down, and everyone found that this alien seemed to be very timid and a little introverted.

When talking to them, she would often lower her head, hold her skirt with her hands, and speak in a low voice.

"The first time I noticed something was wrong was two months ago... At that time, a child came to me crying every day, saying that there was a monster staring at him and laughing at his bedside every night, and he couldn't make any sound. No sound can move it.”

"A ghost is pressing down on the bed?"

Zhou Ling seemed to be frightened by these words and her body trembled.

"I, I thought so at first, because the scientific explanation for ghost pressure is that people's nerves are compressed due to too much pressure... I gave him psychological counseling every day, until one day, I found that he had no Come to me."

"So I asked other students, but they all looked blank. I thought the children didn't know, so I asked the dean, but the dean told me that there had never been such a child."

This thing sounds weird.

Overnight, except for Zhou Ling, everyone in the orphanage seemed to have never known this child.

"How are you sure that what you know is the truth? Maybe you have a mental problem?"

Su Xue spoke without mercy. She stared at Zhou Ling's eyes that were constantly dodging and asked coldly.

"No, it's impossible, because, because that child..."

As she spoke, Zhou Ling took out a handmade clay doll from the handbag she was carrying.

"what is this?"

Li Muhan asked.

"This is a clay doll made by the child in the handicraft class at the orphanage... He specially gave it to me, so I know that he must have existed."

Su Xue took the clay doll and looked at it carefully. Although the clay doll was a little rough, she could tell that the child had put his heart into it.

"Did he pinch you?"

Su Xue asked.

Zhou Ling nodded.

"The child's parents were in a car accident. They have always been quiet and only express their feelings in front of me..."

"Then the next few children will be the same?"

"Yes, before they disappeared, they all came to me and told me about monsters at night, so I investigated at night and found that there was really something wandering around this orphanage at night... ..."

"We are also going to investigate tonight, can you come with us?"

"Well...I also want to find those children as soon as possible."

Several people made an appointment with Zhou Ling to gather at the back door of the orphanage at 12 o'clock in the evening, and Zhou Ling would be responsible for bringing them in at that time.

After Zhou Ling left, Su Xue took the lead and asked.

"What do you think?"

"It's a little weird."

Li Muhan said.

"These missing children all have nightmares, but at the same time, they all have one thing in common."

Su Xue cast an appreciative look at Li Muhan.

"Brother Mu Han is starting to look more and more like a member of the Special Administration Bureau. So tell me what they have in common."

"Before disappearing, they all went to find Zhou Ling."

"Yes, I have also noticed this. It is indeed impossible to fully believe Zhou Ling's one-sided words, but I still think that Zhou Ling will not harm the child."

"Is it because she is a Guhuo bird?"

The person speaking this time was Xia Yue. She seemed to have known the true identity of this alien from the moment Zhou Ling got in the car.

Guhuo bird is a kind of monster in Chinese legend.

Originally from "Xuanzhongji", Guhuoniao is also known as the girl of the Emperor of Heaven, and is also known as the night wandering girl.

Her biggest features are her bright feathers and her love for children.

The Guhuo Bird cannot give birth to children, but it loves children very much, so it will raise other people's abandoned babies as its own children.

It looks like it is indeed a monster that will not harm children.

But legends are just legends after all.

No one can guarantee what the habits of monsters that have evolved over thousands of years are.
