This is an anti-theft seal, it will be replaced after one hour.

At that time, they saw that the door of the utility room was kicked open, the inside was turned over and the ladder was missing, Mu Qin guessed that Zhou Yue had taken the exit key first. So Mu Qin planned to change their plan. Mu Qin decided that he and Xu Fu would attract the killer and let Qiu Zijia look for a hidden exit, but Xu Fu had to bring his vehicle license plate to Qiu Zijia.

"Give the chariot to Qiu Zijia!?" Xu Fu, who first heard the proposal, looked at Mu Qin with a mentally retarded eye, "Are you crazy? What's the use of him holding that card? He just went Finding a hidden exit is not wrestling with the killer! He has no physique or courage, and will only waste the value of the tank!"

"So do you think you will not waste the value of this card?" Mu Qin calmly refuted Xu Fu, and also looked up and down Xu Fu, focusing on Xu Fu's limping leg. "Look at your leg, Xu Fu...Even if you use this card, the effect of the tank cannot immediately recover your leg injury. Even if the tank increases your physical abilities, your speed is at the same level as the injury. Under the influence, you may still be slightly inferior to the killer, which means that you are easily overtaken. Not only can you not save your life with a chariot, it will even have a counterproductive effect."

"You didn't hurt my leg!" Xu Fu gritted his teeth a bit, he couldn't understand Mu Qin's thoughts, "Besides...well, even if you are right, I can't fully exploit the value of this card. , But can Qiu Zijia be able to play? This card might as well give you the best!"

"No, I can't." Mu Qin sighed and shook his head thinking of Zhou Yue, "That killer won't be fooled by me."

"Why wouldn't he be fooled by you?" Xu Fu felt that Mu Qin's persistence was weird.

Muqin knew that his words were suspicious, he thought about it, and decided to divert the topic quietly: "Now we all know that we have only two options, or take the key from the killer. , Or just take the hidden exit."

After hearing this, Xu Fu felt very puzzled: "I don't understand, how did the killer know that the key is on the second floor of the church? Does he also have a Fool's card!?"

Mu Qin thought of an excuse: "Cheng Guoxu also has a Fool's card. After you killed him, did you take his card?"

"I won't take anything from that scum!" Xu Fu was furious when he heard Mu Qin mentioning Cheng Guoxu, his teeth tickled with hatred, "I only cared about the corpse, my God! He really died. It’s so easy, I can’t let go of it at all!"

Mu Qin said: "So you didn't take away Cheng Guoxu's card, so it is very likely that the killer used it."

"Can the killer use human tarot cards?" Xu Fu is not a particularly experienced veteran player, he only knows that humans can compete with each other for tarot cards, but can the killer take away human cards Use, he hasn't seen it and doesn't know.

Mu Qin said: "I don't know if he can use it, but let's make the worst assumption first, and assume that he can use it well."

"Suppose he used the tarot card to find the exit key on the second floor of the church, and then went up to the second floor to get the key. At this time, he has a high probability of choosing to stay on the second floor of the church, because we are sure to find the key. He will also go to church, he doesn’t need to waste time to come to us, he just needs to wait there for us to pass."

Mu Qin began a series of analysis: "In this case, we need to think of a way to deal with him. As I just said, we have only two ways, one is to regain the key, and the other is to take the hidden exit. ."

Xu Fu listened to Mu Qin's analysis honestly and interjected: "Both roads are very difficult."

"The degree of difficulty is different." Muqin continued to analyze, "First of all, think about the way to hide the exit. Neither you nor I know enough about the hidden exit. Moreover, you said before that opening the hidden exit needs to meet certain requirements. We don’t even know the harsh conditions. With so many innate conditions missing, even if we use Qiu Zijia’s Fool’s card to find the hidden exit, we may not be able to open the hidden exit door in the end, and use the hidden exit to escape. Hope is very slim, full of unknowns and uncertainties. I don’t recommend this way to escape."

Xu Fu frowned and said: "Then you mean to take the way to regain the key?"

"Yes, instead of finding a hidden exit that you don’t know where, and satisfying the harsh conditions that don’t know what it is, it’s better to deal with our immediate problems directly. We think of a simple and effective way, directly from the killer. Retake the export key."

"But how to get it back?" Xu Fu still felt very unreliable, mainly because the chance of taking the key from the killer was too slim.

Mu Qin raised his eyes and stared at Xu Fu: "I'm curious, how did you'kill' the killer before? I mean, the killer was lying on the stairwell pretending to be dead with blood dripping on him. The wound should be your masterpiece, right."

"I don't know." Xu Fu briefly explained the context, "I found a knife in the church, and when I was looking at it with the knife, someone came out from behind and attacked me. I instinctively turned around and used the knife. I blocked it for a while, and it cut into the face of each other inexplicably. After that, we fought a few times, and the angle...it was entirely because he hit me against the edge of the knife."

"Did you come up with your knife? So that's it." Mu Qin thought for a while, and said, "So your knife was also obtained in the church at that time, right? Why didn't you explain it to us at the beginning? , But choose to kidnap Han Li?"

"I don’t know you are there. When I passed by, I only saw the woman screaming at the corpse. At that time, I was also very flustered, afraid of being mistaken for a killer, so I simply took the woman away. "Xu Fu said, "I learned from a woman that she was an employee of this orphanage, so I thought of my sister who died here, I was very angry, and I thought about killing this woman. "

Mu Qin commented on him: "You are really cruel. You want to kill others just because you don't know the possibility of true or false. No wonder you will go to jail for manslaughter."

"The question we are discussing right now is not about my cruelty or cruelty!?" Xu Fu was a little impatient. He knew his personality flaws and was not prepared to change himself at all. He admitted that he was bad. In character, he still does his own way. From this point of view, Xu Fu has a bit of spine.

Xu Fu said to Mu Qin impatiently, "Don't waste time, tell me your plan!"

"After listening to what you said, I think we should give Qiu Zijia the tank plate to use." Mu Qin looked back at Qiu Zijia, who was silent behind him, "He is the most difficult problem for us to break through. Beautiful candidate."

"Why!?" Xu Fu still didn't understand.

"This assassin is very scheming." Muqin said, "He will confuse our vision by feigning death, and will put the blame on you to disrupt our thinking. He even took the key to the door before us. He still Will squat in the church and guard us over...Do you think he will not see that we are deliberately attracting his attention?"

Xu Fu seems to understand what Mu Qin meant; "You mean that even if we run to attract his attention, he will still not be fooled by us, right?"

"Yes, he will not be fooled." To be precise, Zhou Yue would not be fooled by Mu Qin. Zhou Yue knew what Mu Qin wanted to do, and Zhou Yue knew Mu Qin.

Because of mutual understanding, Mu Qin must take extraordinary measures. He must do things beyond Zhou Yue's expectations. Unexpected ones are always weaknesses.

Muqin said: "The matter of taking the key from the assassin, whether it is you or me, will cause the assassin’s vigilance. Once he is vigilant, he will not approach us easily. There is no way to talk about taking the keys, but Qiu Zijia is different."

Mu Qin stretched out his hand to pull Qiu Zijia who was standing behind him. Qiu Zijia turned pale and sweated when they heard them. Mu Qin seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Let’s take the chariot first. To Qiu Zijia, let Qiu Zijia pretend to find the hidden exit. Then we go to attract the attention of the killer, without doing too deliberately, but the killer must be able to see that we are tempting him, so he will not be fooled and he will not come after him. Kill us, but continue to patrol near the church, and then he will find Qiu Zijia. He will regard Qiu Zijia as a soft egg without the power of a chicken, who can be killed easily."

Mu Qin's words scared Qiu Zijia's face from white to blue, and she trembled and asked Mu Qin: "Mu Qin...you...you let me go with the killer..."

"Just let you go." Mu Qin stared at Qiu Zijia earnestly, "I want you to pretend that there is nothing to fight back. The killer does not have a knife on his body now. In order to kill you, he may choose other methods, the simplest and quickest. It’s breaking your neck. In order to squeeze your neck, he will approach you. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to get close to him and touch the key on his body. After touching the key, use the chariot to throw away the killer and charge directly. Run in the direction of the exit gate, we will pass you over and stop the killer to delay time!"

"No...no! I can't do it!" Qiu Zijia felt that she was suffocating when she heard Mu Qin's explanation, especially when Mu Qin said that the killer would intend to break his neck, Qiu Zijia even instinctively He stretched out his hand and covered his neck.

"You can do it." Mu Qin looked at Qiu Zijia intently, with confidence in Qiu Zijia in his eyes, "Only you can do it."

After speaking, Mu Qin looked at Xu Fu and reached out to Xu Fu, asking him to hand over the license plate in his hand.

After listening to Mu Qin’s whole plan, Xu Fu has to say that Mu Qin’s plan is almost perfect. He has a good grasp of the killer’s psychology, and it’s like he is on the killer. This person has an extremely deep understanding.

Is it my illusion?

Xu Fu thought vaguely in his heart, he always felt that there was something wrong with Mu Qin, he felt that Mu Qin seemed to be hiding something, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with Mu Qin and what he was hiding, and Muqin's plan... really good.

"Okay." Xu Fu is not a very good thinking person. He likes to act on his intuition most of the time. He saw Mu Qin's serious and focused sight. He decided to believe in Mu Qin, so he reached in In his pocket, he took out his chariot and handed it to Muqin.

After that, the four people continued to search for the orphanage with an optimistic and inattentive attitude. They mainly searched in the apartment area where the children lived in the orphanage, and they found several offices and infirmaries on the first floor. I checked the storage room and the laundry room one by one.

They found nothing in the safekeeping room where the keys were most likely to be stored. There was only a row of empty and rusty cabinets.

Because it is an abandoned building, there is basically nothing left in the rooms here. Unusable tables, chairs and wooden boards are piled up in the corners, rotten and moldy, they break when they are stepped on, and some children’s clothes are scattered on the ground. , Covered with a thick layer of dust.

A large area of ​​the wall peeling off, and many black water stains on the ceiling due to flooding, etc., there are dilapidated and barren scenes everywhere, but the magical thing is that it is obviously an abandoned orphanage, and the electrical system is still normal. Operation, Muqin and others can still turn on the lights in the room.

It’s just that the lights are too dim. Turning on the lights is as if they are not turned on. Some lights are still flickering because of disrepair, making such a desolate ghost place even more eerie and terrifying. In the world of horror movies.

Exploring in such a dark and terrifying place, Mu Qin’s several big men are okay. As a woman, Han Li can’t stand it. So when Mu Qin and the others went to the second floor to continue exploring, Han Li was right. Qiu Zijia and Mu Qin said: "You continue to check, how about I waiting for you in the corridor?"

This sentence made Qiu Zijia resolutely oppose: "We can't get separated, we must act together."

"But those rooms are too depressive." Han Li shook her head and stood firm. She leaned on her chest and looked breathless. "I don't want to go in, I don't think I can breathe. It's a big deal. I will follow you to every room. At the door, you are searching in the room. I am standing at the door of the room and waiting. By the way, I can still watch the wind... If something comes, I can remind you as soon as possible."

Han Li said that, a few people thought it was good, and after some discussion, they agreed to Han Li's request. After that, they went to the second floor of the apartment complex. The second floor here seems to be the children's activity room. There are small concert halls, small entertainment rooms, and dollhouses, which are places where these orphans can play.

Qiu Zijia first opened the door of the activity room, walked in two steps, looked at Mu Qin and said: "This orphanage is fully equipped with everything that should be there."

Mu Qin followed in and took a look. This activity room should be reserved for older children. There are table tennis tables and some sports facilities, but these facilities are also terrible. almost.

Han Li waited at the door as previously stated. They searched and found that there was not much valuable, so they withdrew and continued to search for the dollhouse next to them.

The dollhouse is entirely reserved for the use of very young children. The floor is specially laid out as a wooden floor, and there are also colorful mosaic carpets, which are filled with various toys. It is a paradise for children.

However, because of its disuse, this dollhouse was in a dilapidated state. The wooden floor creaked when stepped on it. The spliced ​​carpet seemed to have been burned by the fire, and a large area was scorched. All the toys were damaged...it seemed to have been artificially damaged. The dolls or building blocks that are damaged by violence are torn apart under the violent blow.

As soon as the light was turned on, all unrecognizable toys piled up in the corner. A teddy bear with only one eye and a large amount of gray-black cotton popping out of its belly sat on the top of the pile of toys. Its angle made its The heads were facing Mu Qin and Qiu Zijia who entered the door, as if they were watching them silently with their remaining eyes.

This little bear sitting silently at the top of the toy pile seemed to startled Qiu Zijia. Qiu Zijia instantly said with an unpleasant expression: "Which **** piled up toys like this! Frightened me!"

Mu Qin glanced at Qiu Zijia, disapproving: "Isn't it just a bunch of toys..."

Qiu Zijia emphasized: "You don't understand, what scares me is not toys, but atmosphere!"

Mu Qin is still a little puzzled, he just thinks that these tattered toys evoke some rare memories of him.

Mu Qin was also an orphan before, and he also stayed in the orphanage. Although he stayed for a short time, he grew up there until he was almost three years old before being taken away by his adoptive parents.

Now Mu Qin can’t remember exactly what happened when he was three years old. There are only fragments, such as this little bear puppet in front of him... Mu Qin remembers that when he was in the orphanage, as long as he cried, Someone will bring a bear doll similar to this one and put it in front of him to coax him.

Thinking of this, Mu Qin couldn't help but stepped forward, wanting to take down the puppet bear on the pile of toys and have a look, but someone was a step faster than Mu Qin.

Cheng Guoxu, who had been silent behind Mu Qin, suddenly stretched out his hand coldly and took the little bear one step away.

Mu Qin was shocked by Cheng Guoxu's sudden behavior. He was dumb for a moment, turned his head to look at Guoxu, and found that Cheng Guoxu was holding the bear puppet in his hand and watching carefully.

After observing for a long time, Cheng Guoxu raised his head and said to Mu Qin: "These... are toys produced in the toy factory where I work."

Cheng Guoxu’s words made Qiu Zijia, who was frightened next to him, also reacted, and looked at the little bear doll in Cheng Guoxu's hand, and asked: "You said this little bear? Is it made by your factory?"

"It's not just this bear." Cheng Guoxu said and turned his head to look at the pile of toys piled up there. "The rest are basically the same. Our toy factory makes all kinds of knockoff toys, so there are all kinds of toys. , But the toys that are made have the factory’s unique stamp, which I can recognize at a glance."

Cheng Guoxu rarely said a long string of words, Qiu Zijia listened carefully in her ears, and said thoughtfully: "Then this matter is interesting."

Mu Qin didn't understand Qiu Zijia's meaning, and asked him: "What's interesting?"

Qiu Zijia replied to Mu Qin: "I was thinking about a question just now, Mu Qin...Do you remember the name of the orphanage where you were a child?"

Mu Qin said: "I don't remember... I left that orphanage when I was three years old. I didn't have any impression at all. Later, my adoptive parents didn't tell me the name or address of the orphanage. Of course, neither did I. Thought about investigating."

Seeing that Qiu Zijia couldn't get the answer from Mu Qin, he had to explain by himself: "I have an older brother."

Mu Qin couldn't understand why Qiu Zijia wanted to bring the topic to his brother, so he said to Qiu Zijia: "Say the important point."

"He is not my brother, but my parents adopted him." Qiu Zijia said, "My parents were diagnosed with infertility before giving birth to me, so they adopted my brother, but after several years of adopting my brother, my mother got pregnant unexpectedly. Got pregnant with me."

"Of course this is not the point. The point is... my brother seems to be a child adopted by his parents from a "Iris Orphanage". He died many years ago, a few years after I was born. Here, he committed suicide."

Mu Qin felt that he had guessed what Qiu Zijia meant, but he still directly asked Qiu Zijia to verify: "What do you want to say?"

"Don't you think it's weird?" Qiu Zijia pointed to herself, "My brother came out of this orphanage."

Then Qiu Zijia pointed to Cheng Guoxu again: "The factory where this guy works also provides the orphanage with toys that the children need."

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Zijia lowered her voice, as if she didn't want to be heard by Han Li, who was waiting outside. He whispered: "And the female teacher outside. Didn't she say that she was a kindergarten teacher before? We looked weird when we searched these rooms. I bet she had an impression of this orphanage and said that she had taken care of these orphans here when she did not order a kindergarten teacher."

"In the end, it is you. Although you said you have no impression, you are also very likely to be an orphan who once stayed here... Well, the possibility is still very high." Qiu Zijia finally moved the topic to Muqin. Body.

Mu Qin thought for a while and smiled at Qiu Zijia: "Wonderful inference, but does it make any sense? In addition to proving that several of us are connected to this orphanage."

Qiu Zijia immediately shook her head in embarrassment: "I can't think of any meaning for the time being, but it may be some clue. After all, they left us in such a ghost place, so they should be a little bit careful."

Mu Qin praised him: "You are very smart, you deserve to be a science student."

The praised Qiu Zijia was very happy, and humbly touched the back of her head: "Why, this kind of thing can be easily deduced as long as you understand the basic information."

While they were talking, they turned over this dollhouse, and even the pile of toys piled in the corner was knocked down by them and thoroughly inspected all the toys.

However, after searching for a long time, they still didn't find any valuable clues. Several people decided to leave here and go to the next room. Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu went out one by one, while Mu Qin was at the end.

When he was about to go out, he remembered something, he remembered the little bear toy just now.

I don’t know what kind of force is pushing Mu Qin. Mu Qin wants to look back at the room. He wants to see the little bear toy that Cheng Guoxu casually put on the table, but when Mu Qin turns his head to look. At that time, he saw an amazing scene.

The dollhouse, which was just turned over by Muqin and others, is now back to the original appearance when they first entered the door in the blink of an eye!

The tattered toys are still piled up in the corner pile of the old place, and the little bear puppet is still sitting on the top of the pile of toys, looking at Muqin with its buttons.

This bizarre scene frightened Mu Qin. He opened his mouth to call back Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu who had just left outside. However, Mu Qin hadn't opened his mouth yet. Instead, Qiu Zijia outside was the first to shout.
