Lin Yue arrived at the so-called quarantine area.

Located in the southwest corner of the treatment center, this place is directly opposite the sunlight, making it exceptionally dark.

As I walked, I felt a chill all over my body.

It makes you want to turn around and leave this place.

But he didn't turn back; instead, he continued walking forward.

After walking for about three minutes, a tightly locked iron gate appeared in front of him. Inside the gate was a long corridor, and on the right side of the corridor were numbered rooms, like a row of display cases showcasing the patients.

Lin Yue looked at the tightly sealed fence and felt a headache coming on.

How can I go in and see that "strange child"?

However, at that moment, he heard several footsteps behind him.

He turned around and saw a thin man in a caregiver's uniform staring at him suspiciously.

"Are you the volunteer who came today? What are you doing here?"

The man had a very noticeable black mole next to his nose, so he didn't look particularly good-looking.

He stared at Lin Yue's fair and handsome face, his jealousy and dissatisfaction growing stronger.

Lin Yue also looked him over, and noticed that the mole caregiver was carrying a plastic food container.

"Are you here to bring food to the child inside?" Lin Yue asked.

The caregiver with the mole frowned, making no attempt to hide her displeasure.

"Why are you asking about this? If you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave. What are you doing here as a volunteer? Didn't someone tell you you can't come here?"

Lin Yue wasn't annoyed after hearing this.

Instead, he calmly extended five fingers.

"Five hundred. You have the key to this iron gate, right? Just let me in to see the child and say a few words, and I'll give you five hundred yuan."

He unleashed his financial power as always.

Since all this money was a reward from the system, he didn't feel bad spending it.

When the caregiver for the mole heard that he could get five hundred dollars so easily by simply opening the door and letting the person in, he was stunned.

"Are you... a reporter?" he asked cautiously.

Lin Yue did not answer.

When the caregiver saw that he wouldn't admit it, she became even more convinced that Lin Yue was a reporter who had come undercover.

After all, this center isn't exactly a place with good feng shui; everyone would probably avoid it.

Therefore, the only people who would still want to inquire about such strange events are reporters.

However, he was very tempted by the five hundred dollars.

But those narrow eyes darted around, and then she still wore a troubled expression.

"This...no, if I let you in and people find out, I'll lose my job."

Lin Yue sneered inwardly.

"Okay, I understand, then... four hundred." He pulled one finger back.

The caregiver with the mole glared at her.

"Wait, why are you only giving me four hundred? Didn't you just give me five hundred?"

According to the original plot, shouldn't this kid have bribed himself more money to get in? Why is there a reason for him to reduce the amount?

Lin Yue was naturally able to see through his little scheme.

Do you really think I'm a sucker?

With a cold expression, he removed another finger.

"There are only three hundred left now."

Lin Yue continued to exert pressure through words.

"If you keep trying to ask for an exorbitant amount, then I'll keep reducing the price."

Hearing these words.

The caregiver for the mole was panicked. How could she have lost two hundred dollars in the blink of an eye?

"Okay, okay, Daddy, don't lower the price. Three hundred it is. Just transfer the money and I'll take you in right away!"

"No, I'll go in first and pay you when I come out," Lin Yue said without backing down. He did this because he was afraid that this guy would abandon him after using him.

The caregiver for the mole had no choice but to agree.

He grumbled and complained as he pulled out his keys, walked to the gate, and opened it.

The mysterious corridor behind the door finally opened up before Lin Yue.

The caregiver with the mole handed the food box to Lin Yue and whispered, "Everything here is empty except for room number one. The password is 123456. Just go over there, open the door, and deliver the food. You'll see that freak then. I'll go over there and keep watch for you. Whatever you're doing, be quick."

Lin Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she took the food box and nodded.

Freak?

Why is this person called that?

"Uh... By the way, don't let anyone hurt me, and also, don't be scared by that freak." Before leaving, the mole caregiver suddenly turned back and solemnly gave her two more instructions.

"Are you scared?" Lin Yue asked back.

"Never mind that, just go in and take a look... I'm going out to keep watch, hurry up."

"What's the child's name?"

"Qin Ziwang, I think that's his name." The caregiver with the mole didn't explain further and jogged away.

Lin Yue had no other choice but to take the food box and slowly walk into Room 1, the deepest room in the room.

And this corridor is very dark.

The further you go in, the colder and darker it gets.

When we arrived at the door of room number one, the light on the ground perfectly separated the outside world from the inside, creating two distinct worlds.

Lin Yue didn't rush to open the door. Each door here had a viewing window the size of an A4 sheet of paper, just like in a prison.

He first looked out the window.

Through the yellowed glass, I could see a thin, small child sitting on the ground facing the wall, doing something I couldn't tell.

Is this the "strange child"? Lin Yue thought to herself.

He held out his finger, wanting to enter the password to open the door.

But just as his arm was about to touch the door...

For some reason, the hairs on my arms suddenly stood up on their own.

Lin Yue could also feel a chill in her heart.

This feeling... is like that of a demon.

The kids here are really a bit strange.

Before even going inside, Lin Yue understood this fact.

A sense of vigilance began to rise within him, but in the end, he still entered 123456 on the button at the door.

"Ding-dong—"

With a soft click, the door slowly opened.

A strong, fishy stench immediately hit us.

The room was quite clean, with hardly a speck of dust or stains.

It doesn't seem like there's anything that could produce an odor.

The source of the stench was probably the child facing the wall.

Lin Yue watched the child's retreating figure and asked softly, "Qin Ziwang?"

This is the child's name.

But upon hearing the sound, the child did not react at all, as if he were dead.

Lin Yue felt increasingly uneasy the closer she got to the child, the stronger the feeling of unease she felt, which resembled that of an evil spirit.

Now, not only are his body hairs standing on end, but even the stray hairs at the back of his head are almost standing up.

"Qin Ziwang? I'm here to bring you food."

Lin Yue patiently called out twice more.

But I never received a response.

If he really came to deliver food, he could simply leave the food container and leave.

But he wasn't one of them, so he had to get some kind of response from this "strange child" no matter what.

He thought to himself, "This little kid is locked up in this mental hospital. Either it was his parents' decision, or... his parents are no longer here. In any case, parents are a good starting point for a child."

So he coughed lightly twice.

She whispered again, "Qin Ziwang, your mother sent me to find you. Could you turn around first?"

As soon as those words were spoken...

Qin Ziwang finally reacted, his body trembled violently, and he turned around stiffly.
