Chapter 119: The Golden Legend of the Orphanage!? (16,000-Word Update 2/4)
The sudden abandonment by the Commerce Association came without any warning, leaving the man who had worked loyally for the association for several years feeling a bit lost.
Act without delay.
Old Qiao immediately picked up his phone and sent a message to Fang Qingyu.
Then he nervously put the phone aside.
He didn't dare look.
Until two minutes later, there was a ding...
Old Qiao instructed his wife beside him, "Honey, help me see what it says."
The middle-aged woman obediently picked up the phone and read aloud, "He says, okay, report tomorrow."
Old Qiao and Lv Chen instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
...
On the other side.
Inside the sports car.
Fang Qingyu put down the phone and looked at Qin Hui and Qi Hao.
"This mission is somewhat special."
"The mission location is at an orphanage, it has 167 orphans and several teachers and volunteers. They're all asleep now, and the police will take some time to get here, so the evacuation task will be carried out by the three of us."
"Alright."
The two nodded solemnly.
"Should we just carry those kids out? The adults might follow when they see the kids leaving?"
After speaking, Qi Hao thought of a method and asked.
Qin Hui also came up with an idea, "How about saying there's a fire? I'll just set a small fire outside to make it more realistic. They'll evacuate quicker voluntarily."
"Qin, you start the fire. Qi Hao and I will go inside to call the people."
Fang Qingyu thought for a moment and decided to adopt Qin Hui's idea.
Because this method would indeed be faster.
This was their first independent mission.
Fang Qingyu didn't want any accidents.
The car quickly arrived at the orphanage entrance.
It was a bit old and rundown, clearly a building with decades of history, but thankfully it had some signs of life, not a desolate house.
After Fang Qingyu turned off the car lights.
The entire building fell into darkness, with only a faint yellow light leaking from a window on the third floor.
Qin Hui was the first to get out of the car.
The soles of his shoes crushed the dead leaves on the roadside, producing a crisp cracking sound.
Fang Qingyu and Qi Hao stayed in the car.
Waiting for the fire signal.
The map of the orphanage interior had been provided to them by the Divine Management Bureau on their way there.
Qin Hui climbed over the mottled grayish-white wall.
He landed quietly on the ground and began to pile up the surrounding leaves.
This area had a remarkably good greening; in no time, he had piled up a small mountain of leaves.
Qin Hui spoke one word into the radio, "Ready."
Fang Qingyu and Qi Hao immediately rushed out of the car, climbed over the wall, and as they kicked open the orphanage door, flames began to ignite in various corners of the courtyard.
"Fire!!!"
Upon entering the orphanage, Qi Hao remained on the first floor.
Fang Qingyu rushed to the second floor.
While shouting.
The voice quickly startled the sleeping children and teachers.
"Where's the fire?"
Someone dashed out the door in pajamas.
Looking at Fang Qingyu with uncertainty.
"There's a fire outside, I'm from the police station. Please organize the children's evacuation immediately!!"
Fang Qingyu displayed his credentials to the woman.
The Federation's Peace Tree badge, recognized by everyone.
"Oh, oh, okay, got it."
The woman nodded frantically, immediately heading to the surrounding rooms to wake the children.
Special methods for special times.
"Mr. Fang, the Force Field deployment has less than two minutes left."
As the groggy children began rushing down the stairs, a reminder came through the earpiece from a staff member.
Fang Qingyu also started to follow downstairs.
At this moment, he had to be in position in advance.
The timing couldn't be completely precise.
If it happened prematurely while he wasn't there, it would be a major issue.
Location is in the bathroom on the first floor.
After Fang Qingyu entered, he surveyed the inside, saw it was empty, and locked the restroom door.
Waiting quietly for Qin Hui and Qi Hao's evacuation update.
"Quick, quick!!"
Qi Hao was now looking anxious.
The atmosphere stirred the other children, who dashed toward the street at the main gate.
Until the last few teachers came down the stairs.
Qi Hao directly grabbed a few people and rushed outside.
Leaving the Force Field range.
Meanwhile, a ghostly light quietly bloomed in the bathroom on the first floor.
"Force Field has been activated."
Fang Qingyu said into the radio.
"The Life Ghost has yet to appear, confirm the evacuation situation."
"Is there anyone still inside!?"
Outside, Qin Hui heard and quickly ran to an older teacher.
"Inside..."
The teacher was also a bit flustered at this moment, her brain not fully processing.
However, others heard this conversation as well.
Someone glanced around, suddenly shouting to Qin Hui, "The old director and Xiaojiang haven't come out!!!"
"Where is the old dean, who is Xiaojiang!?"
Upon hearing the words, Qin Hui immediately came up to him and calmly asked.
"Xiaojiang is also an orphan, she's somewhat introverted, so the old dean often sleeps with her. They're in the second room down the hall on the third floor."
The person was relatively calm and immediately responded upon hearing.
"Alright. Qi Hao, keep an eye on them!"
After listening, Qin Hui turned around and rushed back to the orphanage, while instructing Qi Hao.
No one knew when the staff maintaining order would arrive.
But as there was no fire in the orphanage, it would soon become apparent.
Then it would be up to Qi Hao to stop them.
Simultaneously, Qin Hui also reported the news to Fang Qingyu.
"Alright, you go up and watch."
Fang Qingyu's expression remained calm.
With only two people, it's not a major issue.
Moreover, Qin Hui dashed back to swiftly bring them out.
He just needed to prevent the Life Ghost from affecting the retreat of Qin Hui's group.
Drip... drip... drip...
The faucet in the bathroom could not be shut tightly, continuously dripping water.
In just a few seconds.
Fang Qingyu heard hurried footsteps on the stairs.
It was Qin Hui.
Continue waiting.
But after over ten seconds, the Life Ghost in the bathroom hadn't arrived, and instead came the radio voice of Qin Hui.
"Qingzi, the Life Ghost is upstairs!!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu immediately kicked open the bathroom door and charged towards the third floor.
With doubt in his heart...
Was the location prediction wrong this time!?
But regardless, first help Qin Hui's group to retreat.
As Fang Qingyu rushed to the third floor.
The walls in the corridor peeled like melting wax.
A child's laughter echoed in the corridor.
Qin Hui was guarding the door with a knife, veins bulging on his forehead.
Above him on the ceiling.
Seven humanoid Life Ghosts hung upside down.
These creatures resembled clay dolls crudely molded by a child, their limbs folded backward, braced against the ceiling.
Their skin was semi-transparent, making the blue-purple vascular network underneath clearly visible.
Each face had three pure white eyeballs without pupils, arranged in a triangle at the forehead's center.
Two rows of spike-like sharp teeth extended from the mouth split at the ear root.
With a chuckling sound.
Dropping dark green slime continuously.
"Don't look at their eyes!"
Seeing this, Fang Qingyu immediately shouted angrily.
[Three-Eyed Saliva Ghost]
[Eyes skilled in spiritual shock, very fast movement, can traverse any terrain smoothly...]
Qin Hui immediately lowered his head, looking straight ahead.
And with that shout.
All the Life Ghosts suddenly turned their heads simultaneously.
Staring straight at Fang Qingyu on the stairs.
But Fang Qingyu didn't care, he raised his head directly, his eyes coldly glared at these creatures.
"Screw you guys..."
Whether they could understand or not, seeing their appearance, Fang Qingyu instinctively said this.
Spoken without hesitation.
As soon as the words left his mouth.
Lightning exploded in this narrow space.
At the same time.
Qin Hui also turned around, opened the door, and rushed inside.
This was the tacit understanding developed after joining the team with Fang Qingyu gradually.
He hadn't forgotten for a moment what his duty was coming up here.
But just a few seconds after Qin Hui went in.
Crunch—
Qin Hui, with a ghost-stricken expression, opened the door and rushed out, leaning against the door, breathing heavily.
Bam!!
"?"
Fang Qingyu was pinching a Three-eyed Ghost, manually crushing its head, curious eyes turned towards him upon hearing the sound.
"Rescue people, Qin bro."
"Inside too..."
Qin Hui shook his head and smiled wryly.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu was stunned, Thunder Instant Cloud Trace erupted fully.
Covering several meters as if teleporting.
A human-shaped hole appeared on the door.
As Qin Hui said, the ceiling in this room was indeed filled with Three-eyed Ghosts.
But the blazing canopy before him...
What's going on!?
Fang Qingyu saw a little girl standing in front of an old man, her small face focused intently.
When his gaze settled on her head.
His mind suddenly crashed...
Golden legend!?
