Capítulo 1622: Chapter 1622: Director’s Office

“Yes, none of us know her,” Finn shook his head, “and we can’t speak to her; we just call her Ghost.”

“That child was caught by the Ghost,” He Ao said slowly, “I remember, he just got here not long ago, right? A little over a week?”

“Yes,” Finn nodded, “he’s the most recent new child, his luck has always been bad.”

He seemed to have no feelings about the child turning into a pile of ashes, no fear, no worry.

As if it was just a child being caught in a game of hide and seek.

He Ao bowed his head, he didn’t delve further into this topic but instead asked, “Have there been more ‘strangers’ like ‘Ghost’ lately?”

If those Abnormal Sect personnel have entered, the ‘children’ here should not have seen them before.

“Seems like only ‘Ghost,'” Finn shook his head, he looked at He Ao, “You know, there are rarely strangers here at the orphanage, the ones who come are new children.”

Which means the Abnormal Sect has other ‘disguises’ or ‘identities’ here?

Pondering, He Ao continued to ask, “Finn, do you know where the director’s office is?”

“Loren, are you really having a fever,” Finn reached out again to touch He Ao’s forehead, “The director’s office is on the third floor, in the middle, the big, comfortable, luxurious office.”

This matched He Ao’s ‘memory’ of the layout.

“Can you take me there?” He Ao asked slowly.

“You want to go to the director’s office?” Finn’s eyes widened, “Are you crazy?”

Finn gazed at He Ao with some puzzlement and said seriously, “The entrance to the director’s office has security guards. They’re super mean, and disobeying their orders will have you hanging on the wall!”

“Hanging on the wall?” He Ao was puzzled.

“It’s like hanging on the corridor wall, visible to everyone, to show the broken command,” Finn said slowly, “The first time you make a mistake you hang on the wall, the second time you get locked in confinement.”

“What about the third time?” He Ao asked slowly.

“No one has committed a mistake three times,” Finn shook his head, he seemed a bit scared, whispered, “Anyway, you can’t make a mistake three times.”

“So there’s no way to get into the director’s office from the front?” He Ao asked softly.

“No,” Finn nodded, “It’s impossible.”

“What if we climb in from the window on the other side?” He Ao asked slowly.

“Climb in from the window?” Finn’s eyes widened, “That’s the third floor! So high!!”

“If I can climb in, do you think it’s feasible?” He Ao continued to ask.

“Seems feasible,” Finn pondered, “But there are security guards patrolling the outer wall near the window.”

“We can avoid him, wait for him to pass by first before climbing up,” He Ao said directly, “I’m fast, no need to worry.”

“Should we give it a try?!” Finn looked at He Ao, his face slightly flushed with excitement, “Are we really going to try?”

“Of course!” He Ao nodded.

He lifted his gaze, looking towards the corridor behind, “I remember the director’s office window is on the other side of this building, we need to exit through the door at the back.”

“Yes!” Finn nodded.

“Wait for me a moment.” Saying this, He Ao slowly walked back, opened the door, and looked outside.

His eyes landed on the charred fragments of the child turned to ash falling onto the water surface not far away.

“The Ghost should have left now; if she doesn’t find anyone, she will leave.” Finn leaned over, curiously glancing outside following He Ao.

“Mm.” He Ao gently nodded, “Wait for me here.”

He carefully went out the door, glanced left and right, no one was there.

He took another step forward, looking left and right again.

Behind the slide ahead, the faint skirt hem of white dress undulated.

At this moment, he didn’t hesitate, rushed out directly, picked up the fragments on the ground, and then returned quickly, dashing back into the house, leaning against the wall.

Almost the instant he left, the girl in the white dress stood where the fragments originally fell.

······

He Ao pulled Finn, who wanted to look outside again, said softly, “Don’t look, let’s go directly to the other side.”

“Okay.” Finn nodded.

The two got up and walked towards the depth of the corridor.

The first floor of the main building of the orphanage was filled with large classrooms, with a wide corridor in the middle.

He Ao gazed through the window, looking at the desks and toys in the classrooms, most of the kids were arranging welcoming things in the classroom at the other end of the corridor, so no one was in these classrooms.

Looking at those ‘familiar’ classrooms and scenes.

At this moment, he seemed to step out of reality, into real memory.

“Those two over there!” Just then, a shout woke He Ao.

He looked up fast, towards the source of the voice, not far ahead, hanging on the corridor wall was a tall and well-built boy.

His hands were cuffed with iron clasps, suspended on the corridor wall, now looking towards He Ao and Finn’s direction, shouting.

“That’s Karto,” Finn turned to look at He Ao, “He bullies other kids, accidentally hit a teacher, and got hung here.”

“Mm, I know him,” He Ao said calmly, “He previously tried to bully me too.”

This orphanage had two ‘bullies,’ one was a big child who wrestled with Loren in his memory, and soon after was ‘adopted.’

It was precisely due to this big child’s disappearance that triggered Loren’s desire to escape.

The other one was Karto.

He previously tried to bully Loren too, but seeing Loren had fought with the big child, he chickened out, wouldn’t dare do more than verbally threaten.

“You know him?” Finn was a bit surprised.

He Ao glanced at him helplessly, “I just don’t interact much, not like I don’t recognize people, there are only a few kids here, been here a few months, I know quite a few.”

“True.” Finn scratched his head awkwardly.

“Those two, I’m talking to you, what gibberish are you saying?” Karto yelled angrily hanging on the wall, “Come over here and unlock this lock for me.”

“The lock can only be unlocked by the teacher,” Finn looked up, at the well-built Karto, “We can’t unlock it.”

“What’re you talking about,” Karto roared angrily, “See the button above my hand? Press it, it’ll unlock.”

Finn turned his gaze to He Ao.

He Ao shook his head.

“Loren, are you still holding a grudge against me, it’s your own fault for being slow, it’s not like I wanted to bully you,” Karto shouted, “Help me loosen up, otherwise I’ll tell the teacher you don’t help classmates.”

He Ao ignored him, Finn hesitated, also withdrew his gaze, and followed He Ao along the corridor.

Soon, the two passed through the corridor and reached the back of the main building before a small door.

At this moment, the small door was closed, but the door had a little window to see the outside view.

He Ao tiptoed, making his line of sight exceed the window height, looking outside.

The rain outside was even larger, pouring almost like a bucket of water onto the ground.
