Until the little boy was gasping for breath and the last time he threw the ball, the ball was already light and weak... less than half of it landed on the ground, bounced and rolled.

Suddenly, the children in the overhead amusement park stopped one after another, and then showed panic-looking eyes... disappeared in an instant.

Luo Qiu looked at the small ball that finally rolled to his feet, bent down and picked it up... The sound of footsteps coming from behind him was very obvious, the sound of rain boots stepping on the concrete floor - Old Man Li.

"Can you... see them?"

Luo Qiu looked at Old Man Li with a calm expression, "Since the old man's words, you can see it too."

Old Man Li couldn't help frowning, looked at Luo Qiu suspiciously and vigilantly, and thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't play with them, it's easy for people to discover it."

"Why?" Luoqiu asked curiously.

Old Man Li said calmly: "Humans and ghosts have different paths, they shouldn't be here. If this place is haunted, what do you want others to think? Will anyone dare to come here? There are many nurses in the yard, and it is easy for everyone to know. Now it is not as good as before. If people from the local administration bureau come over, these children will not be able to be protected."

"You've been protecting these kids all the time?"

Old Man Li shook his head: "Protection? I don't have this ability... At the beginning, I actually couldn't see them either. I could only barely see a little under some special circumstances. But I could feel their existence... They often run out to play at night."

"Then now?"

Old Man Li said: "It was only recently that I can see clearly. Maybe it is related to the changes in the outside world... I can see them more easily. However, I have not found out whether there are any other people in the welfare home to see them. Or, even if I see them, I have not said it."

Luoqi nodded, thought for a while and said, "What are these children?"

"Actually, they are all poor children who die prematurely... They were abandoned at first because of various problems, including disabled and congenital diseases, and they could not live long." Old Man Li sighed, "This welfare home has been open for many years. After so many years, there are more than a dozen of children who have died because of this... I still remember their appearance."

"Well...so that's it." Luoqiu nodded.

"They did not do anything bad." Old man Li touched the slide beside him, "People say that ghosts are attached to the world because they are reluctant to leave. They have been staying here, probably because they are reluctant to leave... For them, this is already their last home. But after all, humans and ghosts have different paths, so I can't do anything. I can only come and accompany them at night and see them... Even if they never fit in speaking, I can only see them occasionally so that they can know and that people still remember them."

After a moment of silence, Luoqiu whispered: "I won't tell you about this matter casually."

Old Man Li nodded, thought for a while and said, "You... are you born, or are you able to see it recently?"

"It's natural."

"Then...Does Ling know about this?" Old Man Li suddenly asked again.

Luoqiu shook his head.

Old Man Li said: "Then don't tell her. Don't look like a tiger girl. She is actually very afraid of ghosts. She was scared to tears when she was a child... Forget it, I won't mention her anymore."

Luo Qiu chuckled, feeling that he felt sincerely worth it when he heard this from Old Man Li.

In fact, Old Man Li is not really taciturn. After the topic was opened, this old man was quite talkative... he was even very interested in the matter of God and God.

Perhaps it was only after finally meeting Luo Qiu, a person who was born with [yin and yang eyes], who was too excited, and Old Man Li even wanted to invite Luo Qiu to his room to continue to understand this.

"Oh, by the way, I steamed some buns in the canteen kitchen." Old Man Li thought for a while and said, "Girl Ling should be taking care of the dean. You can get some food later. When this girl was young, she often went to the kitchen to steal food... She wanted to eat something tonight."

On the way to the cafeteria, Old Man Li, who became talkative, suddenly frowned.

I saw three figures of different sizes standing in front of me - they were not standing on the corridor, but in the rain outside the corridor.

He lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake and was standing up.

“What are these three?”

Old Man Li hesitated and said, "These three... are a little different from them. I don't know why, they are also with the other children. And..."

“And what.”

Old Man Li said with a serious expression: "These three are all children who have been lost this year. Others don't know, they think they are just lost... but I know very well that they have been gone long ago."

As they spoke, lightning flashed by, and the three figures standing in the heavy rain disappeared in one flash.

Old Man Li seemed to be accustomed to it, "Let's go, they will appear from time to time, but unfortunately I can't talk to them... By the way, do you know how to communicate with them?"

Luoqiu said: "Only when they are willing to take the initiative to communicate."

"Is that true..." Old Man Li thought.

He continued to ask about this matter again, and as he spoke, he had already arrived in the kitchen - the kitchen was shining with light at this time.

"It's so late, why are there still people?" Old Man Li said in surprise: "I'm afraid that it's not Zi Yao who came to find food again?"

This is more like a joke.

Luoqiu didn't say anything and pushed open the kitchen door.

I saw a figure sitting on a small stool, with my shoulders shaking, and I don’t know what to do... A strong smell of blood filled the air.

"Ah Bang? You...what are you doing?!" Old Man Li couldn't help but shout in a deep voice.

When he heard this, he slowly turned his head. Little bits of blood dripping on his face formed into thin lines, and there were several such blood marks... He suddenly grinned at Old Man Li and Luo Qiu behind him and showed a silly smile.
