I'm the director of Interstellar Sanatorium

Chapter 157 Missing
Xiao Di's first night in the orphanage was peaceful.

"I didn't have time to ask you last night, what's your name? Where did you come from? How did you come to be a teacher in this poor place like ours?" Li Peipei always felt that Xiao Di didn't look like someone who lived in the lower city all year round.

Whether it's the sharp and willful expression in her eyebrows or her temperament, she doesn't look like someone who will be an honest teacher.

Li Peipei has a keen sense, she is very unusual.

Xiao Di only replied her own name, but did not answer Li Peipei's second question.

"How long have you been here?" Xiao Di asked Li Peipei back.

Li Peipei was distracted, thought for a while and said, "It's been more than a year."

"Have you encountered any problems that cannot be solved?" Xiao Di asked.

Li Peipei looked puzzled, and wanted to ask Xiao Di why she asked such a question, but a moment later, a red mole appeared on the center of her brow, and then Li Peipei's eyes became dull.

"Yes." Li Peipei nodded, as if thinking of something bad, she frowned unconsciously, "A child disappeared before. We checked the surveillance and found that he was just sleeping on the bed. There was no picture of him leaving the dormitory, but early the next morning, he disappeared."

Xiao Di nodded, and then calmly took back the puppet silk that was on her body.

"Huh? What did I just say?" Li Peipei pressed the center of her eyebrows, feeling a little strange.

Always seem to forget something.

"You didn't say anything." Xiao Di said lightly.

The two didn't talk any more, and they separated to take care of the children.

That night, Xiao Di still did not fall asleep, and carefully monitored the entire orphanage.

However, neither that night nor the following night, nothing strange happened in the orphanage.

Xiao Di was not in a hurry, and was patching their torn clothes with a group of children.

Because Xiao Di faithfully distributed the money to each child, so she was quite popular with these children.

An Rong was sitting beside her, seeing Xiao Di holding the embroidery needle and frowning and staring at the clothes in front of her for a long time, she poked her head over and said, "Teacher, if you don't know how to do it, just let it go."

Xiao Di didn't force himself at all, and immediately put down the needle.

She hadn't seen needlework in years, let alone mending clothes.

But a group of children living in the era of rapid technological development are very skilled in their skills. They fly stitches one by one. Even if the stitches are sometimes not good-looking, they all sew up the tears in the clothes densely.

"How long have you lived here?" Xiao Di asked An Rong.

An Rong scratched his head, "The dean said that I was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage not long after I was born, so it should be 12 years now."

"They all grew up with you?" Xiao Di continued to ask.

An Rong nodded, and then his expression became a little disappointed, "Actually, we had more than that few people at first, but later, many people disappeared and never came back."

"Which teacher has stayed here the longest?" Xiao Di continued to ask.

An Rong thought for a while and said, "Besides the dean, Mr. Zou has been with us the longest."

Zou Ping, a taciturn and kind old man, children like to go to him when they have something to do.

Xiao Di nodded, keeping this person in his heart.

That night, Xiao Di still did not fall asleep.

She closed her eyes slightly, allowing her consciousness to radiate, and she could feel the dynamics of people and non-humans in the entire orphanage at this moment.

Nothing special happened in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, three children woke up and made a little noise.

One of the children came back and crawled lightly back to his little bed.

Not long after, another child came back.

Xiaodi's consciousness was swaying in the orphanage, but 15 minutes later, she suddenly sat up from the bed, opened the door, and ran towards the bathroom. While running, she also laid a layer around the orphanage Formation to prevent non-human beings from leaving with An Rong.

It's been 15 minutes, why hasn't that kid come back?

Xiao Di hurriedly walked, but did not make the slightest movement.

She didn't turn on the light, and pushed open the door of the bathroom in the dark, using the thin planetary light outside to look for someone from cubicle to cubicle.

"Tick."

The faucet that has been in disrepair is still dripping water, and the faint echo sounds creepy in the quiet night.

Xiao Di didn't seem to be affected at all, looking for people one by one very calmly.

However, after reading all five compartments, she failed to find only the third child.

She immediately went to look at the bathroom window again.

There is only one window in this bathroom, which is opened close to the ceiling, and there is nothing under the window that can be used to climb up.

What's more, even if you can climb it, which child can get out of a small window with a height of only about fifteen centimeters?

Xiao Di frowned.

But when something happened here, she didn't feel any fluctuations in her mental power.

So weird.

If it weren't for the interstellar here, Xiao Di would even rely on gods and ghosts.

Xiao Di stretched out her hand to reach the window, but at this moment, she vaguely felt something flickering out of the corner of her eye.

She turned her head to look for the source of the reflection, and after a while, she locked her eyes on the door of the last compartment.

She squatted down and reached out to touch the reflective object on the ground.

The moment the thing touched the skin, Xiao Di frowned at the cold and greasy touch.

Enduring the nausea, she pinched the thing in front of her eyes and ignited a cluster of flames, only then did she see clearly that the reflective object was a fish scale that was gray as a whole with white edges.

Is it an aquatic beast?

Xiao Di speculated in his mind, but apart from this fish scale, there was no other residue in the bathroom, which made Xiao Di unable to start.

She didn't continue to stay here, and went directly back to the orphans' dormitory to check.

It was An Rong who was gone.

Xiao Di thought of An Rong's eyes, and the vigilance in his eyes.

She didn't alarm anyone, and erased the surveillance during her time out, and then returned to the dormitory and lay down again.

In the early morning of the next day, the dean made a house inspection and found out that An Rong had disappeared almost immediately.

"Quick! Check the surveillance!" The dean's voice trembled a little.

She knew that checking the monitoring would not yield any results, but she subconsciously wanted to know what happened in the early morning.

As soon as Xiao Di went out, he saw that the outside of the children's dormitory was already full of teachers and children.

When the dean saw Xiao Di through the crowd, his eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed towards her after pushing aside the crowd.

"Didn't you say you could help me! Come on, help me get An'an back!" The dean's eyes were red, and his painful expression did not seem to be fake.

Xiao Di nodded, and reached out to pat the back of the dean's hand in a rare way, "Don't worry."

Li Peipei gave Xiao Di a strange look in the crowd.

But Xiao Di looked over the crowd and landed on Zou Ping who was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd.
