This NPC really has a problem

Lu Renren hid behind the door and was anxious.

Voices came from inside the room, the room's sound insulation was not good, Lu Renren could hear every word clearly.

"... Is there a place to read? There are several reading rooms on the third floor. The opening hours are from [-] am to [-] pm. Teacher Chen, who is in charge of the books, will guard one of them. If you have any questions, just ask her."

The female voice paused for a while before continuing: "...I still have things to do, you can go to the third floor to find the location of the reading room."

Lu Renren heard Bai Zhu's voice of thanks.

Why don't you go!

Lu Renren wanted to rush to Bai Zhu to question him, but he could only hide aside.

After a while, the door was opened, and Teacher Liao came out.She didn't notice that there was a child who had been hiding outside the room to listen to them not long ago, and walked straight to the end of the corridor.

Bai Zhu was only three or four steps behind Teacher Liao. After leaving the room, he first glanced at Teacher Liao's back, and then in the opposite direction, and happened to bump into a pair of dark eyes.

Lu Renren shrank back angrily.

By the time Bai Zhu came to look for him, he had already run away.

Angry Lu Renren didn't want to talk about it for nothing.

This idea lasted for 3 minutes. Three minutes later, Lu Renren ran up to the third floor with short legs.

Lu Renren usually works on the first floor, because there are teachers' offices on the second floor and the dean on the third floor, the first floor is obviously much safer.But he felt uneasy if he didn't look at Bai Zhu and the others, so he secretly went to the reading room.

The corridor on the third floor was as complicated as that on the first floor, but Lu Renren was more familiar with it than Bai Zhu and the others, and instead arrived at the reading room one step ahead.

阅览室共有四间，门牌号分别是A1、A2,和B1、B2。陈老师虽然会不定时在某一间阅览室巡逻,但更多的时候她会待在A2阅览室。

The reading room mainly stores newspapers and is connected to the archives. It is a very important place in the orphanage.

Lu Renren saw Teacher Chen on A2.

Teacher Chen is a woman over seventy years old. Her hair is all white and her eyes are not very good. The pair of presbyopic glasses on the bridge of her nose are obviously old to the naked eye. Teacher Chen often cannot see things clearly when she wears them.When Lu Renren came over, Teacher Chen was taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes.

Lu Renren leaned over and slipped in under the cover of the bookcase.

Teacher Chen seemed to see a vague shadow, but she put on her glasses and looked around, but found nothing.

There was a strange expression on her face, she got up and turned around the reading room but didn't see another person.

Lu Renren sat under a bookshelf hugging his knees, blinking at her.

Teacher Chen walked away from him as if he didn't see anything.

Lu Renren sat there without moving. After Teacher Chen left, he raised his hand and took out a newspaper from above his head, and began to read it carefully from the first page.

When he finished reading the first edition, Bai Zhu and them came.

After hearing what they said about their visit, Teacher Chen asked them to look for books to read after mentioning some precautions.She actually recommended Bai Zhu and others to read novels in the A1 reading room, but they were declined by several people, and they all chose to stay here to read newspapers.

Lu Renren rested his chin, and when Bai Zhu came over, he passed the closed newspaper forward.

Bai Zhu was taken aback, but he didn't make any sound.

Xu Yan came over and patted Bai Zhu's shoulder, glanced at the newspaper in his hand, and asked softly, "I found something to read so soon?"

Bai Zhu didn't answer him, but turned his head to look forward.

Lu Renren disappeared again.

In this orphanage, Lu Renren was always appearing like a ghost, and Bai Zhu could never imagine where he would appear, nor could he understand how he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Bai Zhu looked down at the newspaper Lu Renren gave him.

It was a newspaper from ten years ago, with a bold headline on the first page.

"After five years, the Renxin Welfare Institute was reborn from the ashes, and the famous philanthropist Mr. Xu Jin served as the dean"

The subtitles correspond to the predecessor of the Renxin Welfare Institute, the reconstruction of the orphanage destroyed by fire five years later, the reporter's interview with Mr. Xu Jin, and the praise of Mr. Xu Jin's charitable deeds.

There were three photos in the newspaper, which were the ruins of the welfare home after the disaster, the brand new welfare home after reconstruction, and a single photo of Mr. Xu Jin.

The name and appearance of the orphanage were very familiar, and it was the orphanage they were in.

Bai Zhu's eyes fell on Dean Xu's photo.

The photo shows a man who looks to be in his seventies, and the last dean he saw was only in his fifties when he first saw him. After drinking the little girl's blood, he looked only 30 years old .

Every line in the report was full of praise for Dean Xu's noble personality, but after seeing the scene last night, Bai Zhu knew that this dean was by no means a good person.

It is more likely that he rebuilt the orphanage for his own selfish desires. He needs to rely on the blood of the children to restore himself to youth.

Lu Renren knew these things clearly.

Bai Zhu didn't know if the other children knew, maybe they knew the same, maybe they were kept in the dark.He only knew that most of the children in this orphanage were numb, like obedient sheep raised in captivity.

Unlike Lu Renren who was running around all over the courtyard, they obeyed the rules of the orphanage, and their eyes were lifeless.

But how did such a special Lu Renren stay in the orphanage?Won't the teachers notice this kid who skipped class?Will you not catch him and punish him?Lu Renren told Bai Zhu that the dean's eyeliner wouldn't be on him?

Bai Zhu unconsciously grabbed the newspaper and crumpled it.

Bai Zhu came back to his senses in a daze, and saw Mr. Chen walking over quickly with a distressed face, and snatched the newspaper from his hand: "I said that these newspapers should be cherished."

Bai Zhu stammered, "I'm sorry."

Teacher Chen frowned, carefully smoothing out the creases on the newspaper.

Bai Zhu bit the bullet and talked to Teacher Chen: "Teacher, can I ask you something?"

Teacher Chen looked up at him, and there was obvious hesitation in the eyes under the lens.

"That's... I want to ask how long have you been working here?"

Teacher Chen hesitated and replied: "...20 years."

Bai Zhui's eyes lit up: "Did you work here before the orphanage suffered a fire?"

Only then did Teacher Chen notice the contents of the newspaper, and now he refused to even speak to Bai Zhu, put the newspaper back where it was and left in a hurry.

Bai Zhu hurriedly chased after him: "Teacher, I'll just ask casually..."

Teacher Chen turned her head, her tone a little impatient: "You won't stay here for long, why ask so many questions?"

Bai Zhu glanced at the rain outside the window: "It seems that the rain will not stop for a while, I probably have to stay a little longer."

Teacher Chen's eyes struggled.

Bai Yi looked at her innocently.

Teacher Chen seemed to be at a loss, looked around, pulled Bai Zhu over and said in a very low voice: "If I were you, I would leave right now, what if I get drenched in the rain, I won't die if I get drenched in the rain!"

Bai Zhu: "I..."

"Don't ask anything!" Teacher Chen gave him a hard look, and quickly left the reading room, because he didn't want to stay in the same room with him.

Bai Zhu lowered his head in thought.

Teacher Chen also knew that something was wrong with this orphanage.

But she obviously had more worries than Lu Renren, and she was also more afraid of getting herself involved.

At this time, Zhong Changya waved to Bai Zhu: "Bai Zhu, read the newspapers here."

……

Lu Renren hadn't been this close to the dean's office for a long time.

He always avoided this place as much as possible, but when he saw Teacher Liao walking towards the dean's office, he had to follow.

Lu Renren eavesdropped from a distance.The sound insulation effect of the dean's office was far better than that of other rooms, and Lu Renren was far away, so he could only hear a few words clearly.

"Those people...the purpose is not clear...do you want to keep them?"

"Let...go and see...if...kill it."

Lu Renren was impatient and powerless.

He only hoped that Bai Zhu could listen to his words, see the problems of this orphanage through the newspaper he gave, and leave here as soon as possible.

Lu Renren's hope was in vain.

He saw Bai Zhu and four people in the cafeteria.

Seeing the downcast Lu Renren, An An patted his head and said, "Don't worry about them, you can save everyone, and there's no need to worry about them who don't cherish their lives."

Lu Renren looked at him tearfully.

An An: "..."

An An clenched her fists and forced a smile: "It's okay, watch me scare them away!"

……

Bai Zhu seemed to be concentrating on eating, but in fact, he was all focused on the whispering of the students next to him.

"Another girl is missing..."

"Is her name Ranran? Could she have been adopted? It is said that young children are easy to be adopted..."

"Do you believe this? The orphanage is so remote that few people come. How can there be so many kind-hearted people? Didn't you find out that children will be admitted every once in a while..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

The girl slapped the back of the hand of the man opposite with her chopsticks, her eyes stern.

The man stopped talking.

The other girls at the same table lowered their heads timidly.

Bai Zhu felt a little regretful, why didn't he say more?

Fortunately, a lot of information can already be obtained from these words.The youth obtained by the dean through drinking human blood is short-lived. He wants to maintain his youthful appearance, and kills a child every once in a while.As a result, children from the orphanage disappear from time to time, mostly because they were adopted by well-meaning people, but some children still realize that something is wrong, and some children are deceiving themselves.

Those children who understand their own situation may play an important role in the process of customs clearance.No, for Bai Zhu, the most important thing is to get in touch with Lu Renren, try to awaken Lu Ren's memory about reality in this dungeon.

Bai Zhu swallowed another mouthful of rice with this thought in mind. After hearing Lu Renren say that the chef would cook with people, he didn't take a bite of the meat dish, but today the vegetarian dish added a bit too much salt, so he had to drink saliva from time to time to soothe his mouth. The saltiness in it.

Bai Zhu habitually touched the water glass.

He found nothing.
