Chapter 25 Orphan Resentment

In the dean's office, Jiang Lu sat obediently on the sofa, crossing his legs and listening to the dean's chatter.

"Did you hear everything I said clearly?"

the dean asked sternly.

"Listen clearly."

"Then repeat what I just said!"

Jiang Lu pursed his lips, pondered for a while, and shook his head seriously: "There is a true meaning in this, but I forgot to explain it."

"."

The dean sighed: "When will you grow up?"

The sudden heaviness made Jiang Lu couldn't help but look serious, and his expression became a little solemn: "Are you diagnosed?"

"Diagnosed?" The dean's brewing emotions suddenly disappeared, and he asked strangely: "What diagnosis was confirmed?"

"Oh, you scared me." Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "Your tone makes me want to leave you alone."

"."

The dean stood on the balcony again with his hands clasped behind his back, his back to Jiang Lu, and sighed: "Just let me worry less."

"Although I am an exorcist and can live longer, I am old after all. How many more years can you live a stable life with me?"

The dean said sincerely:

"Do you know why Xiao Li asked for leave?

He was cursed by an unknown source, but I didn’t realize it until it happened. I originally thought that I could provide a safe environment for you and your children, but now it seems that if you don’t rely on yourself, even under my nose, you can’t. It doesn't necessarily mean it's safe.

In the past few years, none of the major exorcist organizations selected you, so you should stop having illusions and learn some skills with peace of mind. Even if I die, you can make a living without my care. Now The world is like this. Alas. "

This has become a common topic between them. If he had heard this before, Jiang Lu would have been somewhat conflicted in his heart. However, things are different now. He can't talk about it and laugh, and it can be said that he has no psychological burden.

So he did not say anything like "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi" as usual, "fallen genius", "anyone with a dream is great" to argue, but asked: "When will Xiao Li Setting the table? I’m not familiar with him either, so can I be less casual?”

When the dean heard this, he turned around suddenly, blew his beard and glared: "What's the point of showing off if you don't die?!"

"Then why are you mentioning him?" Jiang Lu was a little strange: "It's just a curse. Ghosts can run around outside the safe zone these days. What's the big deal about being cursed?"

"Are you still comparing yourself to a co-author?" The dean was speechless.

Jiang Lu shrugged: "That's not the case. I just think it was an accident. The only thing to blame is him running around."

The dean was silent.

Don't you too?

Seeing that the dean did not speak, Jiang Lu asked instead, in order to ease the embarrassment, "Has his curse been resolved?"

"No." The dean shook his head and said helplessly: "I can't see the source of the curse. I have invited my former teammates from the guild to take a look."

Jiang Lu said "Oh": "Then what do you think?"

"What do you think?"

"I can't handle it myself, so I have to ask my former teammates. Don't you think it's a shame? I'd be embarrassed if I were you."

The dean chuckled: "Of course not, that is my best friend. We used to enter the spiritual realm together. He is now the mainstay of the Chishan branch. He"

Halfway through, he suddenly realized that Jiang Lu's purpose was not simple, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"Go on, tell me why he didn't become a teammate with you and he became a mainstay." Jiang Lu was full of curiosity: "We just came here, who is doing his best and who is guilty in this wave?"

"Fuck off!"

After Jiang Lu came out of the dean's office, he went straight to the activity room.

It's not that his conscience found out, it was just that because he exposed the dean's scar, he was ordered to work honestly, otherwise he would not be paid this month.

There were more than a dozen children playing in the activity room. Jiang Lu said hello to the nurse who was taking care of the children.

"Are you busy, Aunt Zhang?"

Aunt Zhang is almost fifty this year and has been working as a caregiver here since she was in her early twenties. After all, she raised Jiang Lu with her own hands, so she usually cares about Jiang Lu very much.

Even after Jiang Lu became a nurse, he still maintained his previous habit of calling Aunt Zhang when he was in trouble. "Xiao Lu, why are you here today?"

Aunt Zhang was a little surprised. She handed the children's book in her hand to the child to read. Then she pulled Jiang Lu aside and asked in a low voice: "Did you make the dean unhappy again?"

"I'm so angry when you say that!"

Jiang Lu feigned anger: "Can't I just help you because I think you're working hard?"

"Oh, I'm so happy then."

Under Jiang Lu's charm, even though she knew it was very moist, Aunt Zhang still smiled from ear to ear: "I'm satisfied if you have this heart."

Aunt Zhang's face was full of wrinkles when she smiled. Jiang Lu clearly remembered that Aunt Zhang had always been a very beautiful aunt. She didn't know when she got old quietly.

Just when he was feeling a little emotional and was about to let Aunt Zhang take a rest and take care of the children, Aunt Zhang suddenly coughed violently.

"what happened?"

Jiang Lu asked with concern.

Aunt Zhang coughed "cough cough cough" and panted rapidly while waving her hands: "It's okay, the season has changed recently, the weather is bad, maybe I have a cold, Xiao Li seems to have a cold too, he didn't come to work today, so you don't Make sure you wear more clothes."

At this point, Aunt Zhang's breathing became a little heavy, and Jiang Lu quickly helped him to a chair and sat down.

"I'll go find some cold medicine for you." Jiang Lu was a little worried when he saw her like this: "I'm afraid it's the flu."

Aunt Zhang nodded, leaning on the backrest and looking overworked: "Okay."

The orphanage is equipped with a special infirmary. Jiang Lv was just about to get medicine when he suddenly heard someone laughing strangely.

He stopped and looked strangely in the direction where the laughter came from.

Except for a few children who noticed something strange about Aunt Zhang and came over to care about her, the children in the activity room were still playing around.

But there was only one child, with his hands behind his back, sitting obediently in the corner, staring at Jiang Lu, with a strange smile on his face.

The corners of his mouth almost reached the height of his earlobes, and his eyes were almost bent into slits.

Even Jiang Lu found this expression a bit scary for some reason.

Happy Valley effect?
Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes.

No, it seems to be called the Happy Bean Effect?
Thinking about it, it still feels wrong, but I can’t remember the exact word.

Anyway, that's what it means.

This child is obviously inhuman.

However, to be on the safe side and rule out the possibility that the person had a more distinctive appearance, he still asked:

"Aunt Zhang, who is that?"

Aunt Zhang looked in the direction Jiang Lu pointed, and then said with a complaining look on her face: "Don't you know Ah Feng?"

"Uh" Jiang Lu finally didn't say, 'I'm asking about the kid next to Ah Feng'.

Can ordinary people not see it?

The child seemed to be quite excited when he realized that Jiang Lu seemed to be able to see him. He immediately stood up and walked slowly towards Jiang Lu with his hands behind his back.

His legs did not bend at all while walking, as if he were walking on stilts, and he was swaying closer and closer, which was indescribably weird.

Jiang Lu watched him walking towards her, looked at Aunt Zhang solemnly, and then walked quickly towards the activity room.

Seeing Jiang Lu retreat, he became even more excited, his shaking became larger, and his walking speed became faster and faster.

Jiang Lu quickened his pace, and he also quickened his pace, closing the distance little by little.

Until Jiang Lu walked to the now empty kitchen and had no way to retreat, the little boy rushed over and fell in front of Jiang Lu.

His chin rested on Jiang Lu's belly, looking up, his smile becoming more and more enchanting.

"I caught you, you're the next ghost! Kick-clack-cluck"

Jiang Lu looked around to make sure no one was coming, then pinched the little boy's neck and showed an even more ferocious smile to the little boy whose laughter had frozen:
"We are all orphans, why are you pretending to be an orphan? Are you trying to be special?"
