Chapter 152: The Girl in Black
The old man's face was full of wrinkles and he looked very old. As soon as Lin Chen entered, he fixed his cloudy eyes on Lin Chen's face.
"Dean."
Seeing this face that had changed a lot but was still familiar, Lin Chen took the initiative to speak and smiled.
He recognized the old man at a glance. Although the old man was thin ten years ago, he was still upright and strong. He didn't expect that the old man had changed so much in ten years. This made him feel indescribable emotion in his heart.
"You are...Xiaochen?"
The dean's eyes showed reminiscence, and soon he said in surprise.
"It's me. I'm back to see you." Lin Chen said with a smile.
The old dean’s memory was indeed very good. He recognized Lin Chen much faster than Li Qiang.
The old dean looked excited. He grabbed Lin Chen's wrist and looked him over.
After so many years, the two did not feel too unfamiliar with each other. After meeting, they were both filled with sighs for a while.
“Xiao Chen, you are such a smart kid, how could you get lost just after buying spicy strips?” The old dean still can’t forget that Lin Chen, who never asks for anything, actually asked him for fifty cents that day, saying he was going to buy spicy strips, and never came back.
Lin Chen couldn't help laughing awkwardly and started explaining nonsense, and it took him a long time to stop.
At this time, Li Qiang, who had been hesitant to speak, had already become anxious. When he saw the two of them finish speaking, he immediately spoke:
"Dean, this is the player Wang Lingxue whom I told you about before. She is very powerful and is here to help solve the haunting in the courtyard."
Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes moved.
It was not unusual for Li Qiang to know about the players. As early as when he was chatting with the two girls on the train, Lin Chen already knew that the players had entered the public eye.
But to his surprise, Wang Lingxue was not a member of the welfare home, and was hired by Li Qiang from outside to catch ghosts. She did not know anything about the evil spirits and ghosts in the welfare home.
Lin Chen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Wang Lingxue had been looking around since she entered the building, with a look of nervousness in her eyes...
However, from this point of view, it shows that the negative energy in the yard at least has nothing to do with this woman, which makes Lin Chen let go of his hostility towards her.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised that Li Qiang was able to hire a two-star player.
The strength of a two-star player is definitely not weak. After all, he corresponds to the red-clothed evil spirit!
Most of the guides of the secret guards are only at the blue-clothed level.
In fact, what he didn't know was that if ordinary people encountered supernatural events and came to seek help from players, most of the players they could ask for help were two-star players.
One-star players are too weak, and they may not have recovered from the experience in the horror game yet, so naturally few of them are willing to come out and fight against ghosts.
There is no need to mention Samsung players, as they cannot be driven by money alone.
Ordinary people may not even meet him.
Therefore, in front of ordinary people, two-star players are the easiest to approach.
The old dean looked at Wang Lingxue with a cloudy gaze, smiled kindly, and said, "Thank you, kid, but there are no ghosts here."
…
Wang Lingxue was slightly stunned, then looked at Li Qiang with a questioning look in her eyes.
Li Qiang hurriedly explained: "The dean has always disbelieved these things, but you don't have to listen to him. I didn't lie to you. I saw the ghost with my own eyes. It was a child with a pale face and wearing red clothes. It was in the bathroom when I saw it. I was scared to death."
Wang Lingxue nodded. As a player, she knew that the yin energy around here was very strong, and there must be ghosts.
At this time, Lin Chen suddenly asked, "What happened? Why is there a ghost in the yard?"
Before Li Qiang could say anything, the dean said angrily, "When Li Qiang came to see me last week, he said he encountered something unclean in the hospital. There was no such thing as a ghost in broad daylight. He was just scaring himself. After I scolded him , he actually asked someone to come and exorcise the evil spirit."
Li Qiang was worried that Wang Lingxue would be dissatisfied or not believe what he said, so he became anxious and said, "That's true! How could a young man like me be wrong? You are too stubborn, old man. The matter between players and ghosts has become so serious, and you are still unwilling to believe in the existence of these things."
The old dean angrily shouted, "Bullshit!"
After scolding Li Qiang, the old man seemed to remember something, and his temper calmed down. He smiled at Lin Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, don't be afraid. I am right to him, not to you."
Lin Chen laughed dryly.
This old man hasn't changed at all.
He knew that the old dean's temper had always been a bad one, but he was the kind of person who would forget why he was angry and never bear grudges. Instead, he was honest and upright, and he usually lived frugally, and spent the money he saved on the children.
Therefore, he was respected and loved by everyone.
Moreover, his temper often depends on the person. Li Qiang has been very naughty since he was a child, so naturally he would beat him if he disagreed with someone. It has become a habit for him.
Lin Chen has been steady since childhood. Relatively speaking, he has almost never lost his temper with Lin Chen and is always kind to Lin Chen.
Li Qiang showed strong dissatisfaction on his face and said aggrievedly: "It's not fair! Old man, you are too biased!"
"I'll beat you!" The old dean glared and actually jumped up, pretending to pick up his cane.
His body looks unusually strong.
Seeing this, Lin Chen hurriedly stopped him.
Li Qiang was used to being beaten, so he curled his lips and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Chen. The matter between the players and the ghosts is already known to everyone. There are ghosts in the orphanage, which is not a small matter! There are so many children here, if something really happens, it will be too late to regret it!"
Lin Chen also gave some advice, saying that since Li Qiang had already invited people, he should let them take a look so that they wouldn't make a wasted trip.
In fact, now that he was here, it didn't make any sense for Wang Lingxue to take action or not.
This kind of evil energy could only be created by a red-clothed evil ghost, and as soon as he came in, Lin Chen's mental power swept the entire courtyard.
There is no separating force like in horror games here. Lin Chen's mental power, as vast as the sea, has already clearly scanned the entire hospital from inside to outside.
The existence of that little devil in red has been hanging around under Lin Chen's nose.
The old dean was finally calmed down. Both Lin Chen's persuasion and Li Qiang's words worked.
In his eyes, as an old man, it may not matter to him, but if something really happens and affects those children, he will not be able to take the responsibility.
"Although I don't believe in ghosts and monsters, but since you said so, let's investigate it thoroughly. The safety of the child is the most important." The old dean said with a frown.
The old dean cooperated and seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should we let the nurse take the children away first to avoid any danger?"
Seeing the worry on the old man's face, Lin Chen smiled and comforted him: "No, it's okay."
Wang Lingxue was about to respond when she was startled. Her face suddenly turned cold. She said to Lin Chen, "If you say it's okay, then it's okay. Are you a player too?"
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I am a player."
Wang Lingxue's expression froze, and then she became completely displeased. She said, "You are not a player, and I don't sense any ghost power in you. Please don't give me orders recklessly, otherwise I can refuse this mission at any time."
Li Qiang hurriedly said, "Miss Wang, my buddy is a computer game player. What he said is not on the same page as yours, so don't take it seriously."
This was a player he had found with great difficulty. He couldn't let him quit just because of a few words. Otherwise , the children in the yard would be doomed!
What a fucking computer gamer.
Lin Chen's face darkened and he was about to speak.
But Wang Lingxue said, "I'm not making up anything. I'm just stating the facts. He said lightly that there was no need to disperse the people in the yard because he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all."
"The evil spirit in this orphanage is very strong, which means the ghost behind it must be extremely powerful. If it weren't for the many children living in this orphanage, I might have just turned around and left without even entering."
"Moreover, I don't just have to let the children leave first. If I find out that the other party is indeed a being that I cannot deal with, I will even need to contact my fellow believers in the church to come together to exorcise the ghost."
The girl looked at Lin Chen as if he were a country bumpkin who knew nothing. Having experienced life and death, she thought that what Lin Chen said just now was extremely unreliable.
Lin Chen, who was too lazy to say more and was about to capture the kid to end the topic, noticed something and suddenly asked in surprise:
"What religion?"
Wang Lingxue's solemn expression froze, and she immediately realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
Her mind was focused on the negative energy in front of her, and she was aroused by Lin Chen's indifference. She was careless for a moment and even said the word "within the sect".
Fortunately, the people in front of me are ordinary people, and the word "teach" cannot prove anything.
"The organization behind me, anyway, has nothing to do with you, and this is the worst case scenario. Normally, getting rid of a fierce ghost is nothing for me. You just need to cooperate." Wang Lingxue's expression became proud again. She didn't need to explain anything to ordinary people.
Even though Wang Lingxue interrupted the topic, Lin Chen still secretly made up his mind.
After all, in China, there is only one organization that can be called a religion!
That's the Black Group.
Others, whether it is the Dark Guard Group, Starry Sky, War Wolf, etc., basically call themselves battle groups.
Thinking of what Chen De said, that people from the Black Group showed up in Yunhai City, and what this woman had let slip, Lin Chen immediately connected this woman with the people from the Black Group.
The purpose of his trip was not only to visit the old dean, but also to look for clues about the Black Group, but even he did not expect that both purposes would be achieved in this trip.
What a pleasant surprise!
