The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

It seemed that the sound of the door opening just now was made by Beibei. Because she was short, Qin Jiu did not see her passing by him.

Qin Jiu moved his gaze downwards and found that Beibei was indeed not wearing shoes. No wonder he could not hear any footsteps.

She scolded: "Beibei, why don't you wear shoes? You'll catch a cold."

Beibei tilted her head, and the teddy bear in her hand seemed to show confusion.

After a long while, Beibei asked, "Sister Xiaojiu, are you concerned about me?"

Qin Jiu tried her best to play the role of the big sister in the orphanage and said with a smile: "Yes! Beibei, don't you like your sister caring about you?"

Beibei shook her head immediately after hearing this. She almost jumped for joy: "I like it. No one in the orphanage cares about Beibei. Sister Xiaojiu is the first one!"

Qin Jiu's eyelids trembled slightly, and she asked: "Where is the dean? Doesn't Dean Lu care about Beibei?"

When Dean Lu was mentioned, Beibei was suddenly stunned. She suddenly hugged the teddy bear to cover herself, and her whole body was shaking.

Her voice came intermittently from behind the teddy bear: "Care... don't care... does Dean Lu care about Beibei? Beibei will be obedient. Dean Lu doesn't want to care about Beibei... No, Dean Lu should care about Beibei..."

Qin Jiu heard her incoherent speech and seemed to be in great panic.

Qin Jiu was afraid that her voice would get louder and attract other people's attention, so she immediately took Beibei to her room.

Qin Jiu patted Beibei's shoulder and whispered, "Don't be afraid. With Sister Xiaojiu here, no one can hurt you."

After hearing this, Beibei stopped trembling.

She moved the teddy bear away, raised her wet eyes and looked at Qin Jiu, with a strong sense of uneasiness in her voice, and asked in a low voice: "Really? Can Sister Xiaojiu protect Beibei? Then... can I skip class? Ah!!!"

Before she could finish her words, the expression of the teddy bear in her hand suddenly became hideous and ferocious.

Beibei seemed to be in great pain, rolling on the ground in agony. Her eyes were dazed, and after a long time they became cloudy again.

She stood up by herself, looked at Qin Jiu, and repeated the same sentence: "Sister Xiaojiu, where are you going?"

Qin Jiu silently withdrew the hand he had extended to her. She remained calm and said, "I didn't go anywhere. I just woke up in the middle of the night and took a walk."

Beibei said "Oh" and continued, "Sister Xiaojiu, don't run around at night. Monsters will catch disobedient children."

Qin Jiu nodded: "I know, I'm going to go back to sleep. What about you? Are you going back?"

Beibei nodded stiffly and left holding the teddy bear.

Qin Jiu didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the teddy bear’s only remaining eye was staring at her. The strong gaze only disappeared after Beibei returned to her room.

Qin Jiu didn't go to bed immediately, but checked things in the room.

She searched the entire room but didn't find anything suspicious, so she had to lie back on the bed.

She was indeed tired after a whole day of hard work, and with the light protecting her, Qin Jiu felt particularly at ease.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.

Of course, she didn't know that after she fell asleep, Beibei left the room alone and walked towards the darkness at the end of the corridor...

The next morning, Qin Jiu got up and left the room. The whole orphanage seemed to come alive, filled with laughter and joy everywhere. The weirdness of yesterday seemed like something she had imagined.

Qin Jiu had just reached the stairs when a child who was still running in front of him bumped into his legs and fell straight to the ground.

The little boy sat down in a daze, blinked his eyes and looked up at Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu stretched out his hand towards him and asked, "Where did you fall? Does it hurt? Don't run around, it's easy to get hurt."

The boy grabbed Qin Jiu's hand and stood up. He asked, "Sister, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Qin Jiu was stunned when he heard this. Qin Jiu clearly remembered seeing this little boy at the dinner table yesterday...

Seeing that Qin Jiu didn't say anything, the boy didn't take it seriously and ran away with his playmates.

Qin Jiu suddenly felt that the orphanage in the morning and the orphanage in the evening seemed to be two completely different worlds.

In the orphanage in the morning, the children's eyes are clear. They are no different from ordinary children. They can laugh, make noise and cry.

In the orphanage at night, every child's body seemed out of control, as if invaded by evil spirits.

This place was not like this before Qin Jiu left...

Qin Jiu vaguely remembered that the director was very strict with everyone at that time. They were not allowed to run around at night and were not allowed to talk while eating. But it was never like yesterday. All the children became dull dolls.

Just like a dead person.

What happened in the six months she was away?

Dean Lu appeared at the corner of the stairs at this time. Seeing Qin Jiu, she smiled and said to the man in a suit beside her: "Look, this is our student at Xinghuang. Her name is Qin Jiu. I guess you have heard of her name."

The man nodded immediately after hearing this: "I've heard of it. It's because of her that we decided to adopt a child from Xirang Orphanage."

Qin Jiu smiled and nodded to Dean Lu, then walked past them.

Dean Lu asked, "Where are you going, Xiaojiu?"

Qin Jiu: "Walk around the orphanage."

Dean Lu waved his hand: "Go quickly."

Qin Jiu watched Dean Lu and the others leave, strode to Beibei's room, knocked on the door, and asked, "Beibei, are you there?"

There was no answer from inside. Qin Jiu wanted to open the door, but found it was locked.

By chance, Xiao Qing, who had returned to normal, came over and saw a strange sister pressing the door lock. He ran over curiously and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Qin Jiu found that the person coming was Xiao Qing. She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know me?"

Xiaoqing shook his head.

really……

Qin Jiu pointed at the door of the room and said, "Where is the little girl living in there? Where is she?"

Xiao Qing looked at her in confusion: "Sister, what are you talking about? No one lives in there? It's an empty room."

Qin Jiu frowned and asked, "Do you know a girl named Beibei?"

Xiaoqing nodded and pointed out the window.

Outside the window of the corridor, you can see a sand pool for children to play in, where a group of children are building sand castles.

There was only one little girl sitting at the edge, playing by herself, and no other children took the initiative to look for her to play with them.

Sitting next to Beibei was a teddy bear. The teddy bear was intact and completely different from what Qin Jiu saw last night.

Qin Jiu had already begun to doubt whether he had dreamed last night, and those strange scenes were actually just dreams.

Qin Jiu suppressed his doubts about the orphanage's anomaly and asked Xiao Qing, "Why is no one playing with Beibei?"

Xiao Qing scratched his head and said, "Beibei always says that we are abnormal and often goes against the dean, so no one likes to play with her. They all think she..."

Xiaoqing pointed to his head and said, "There's something wrong here."
