Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 59

"This is the dean's office." The woman surnamed Ma stood still at the door of a hut on the second floor, beckoning Lin Sheng to go in by herself.

After Lin Sheng pushed open the door, a smell of burning incense immediately flooded his nostrils.Although he already knew that the dean was a monk, but when he saw the altar, Lin Sheng's mind still uncontrollably thought of the old man Dong he met in the apartment building.

He felt a little uncomfortable. The theme of this dungeon...wouldn't be related to sacrifice or something?

Lin Sheng suppressed his imagination. This dungeon is different from the previous dungeon in many aspects. On the one hand, he avoids preconceived ideas, and on the other hand, he pays more attention to what he sees and hears.

Unlike old man Dong's apartment, the office is bright and tidy, but the dean himself seems a bit busy, it seems that this is not a good time to get to know each other better.

The dean himself is much older than he looks in the photos, but he is kind and friendly, making people feel close to each other.She had met Yuanchen during the interview, and was very satisfied with Yuanchen's carpentry skills. After exchanging pleasantries, the dean briefly explained to Lin Sheng.

Within 2 minutes, Lin Sheng walked out of the office. He wanted to take this opportunity to walk around the orphanage by himself to investigate the environment, but who knew that the woman surnamed Ma was still at the door, waiting to take Lin Sheng to the dormitory to see look.

This made Lin Sheng suspicious. Years of experience in clearing dungeons made him hostile to the woman surnamed Ma. At this time, the woman surnamed Ma gave Lin Sheng something.

"You have to wear this badge on your body at all times."

"We live in a remote area, and few strangers come here, but as long as others see you wearing the work badge of the orphanage, they won't make things difficult for you."

Embarrassed?

Lin Sheng took the work card from her hand, recalling what happened on the bus, those vigilant and scrutinizing gazes indeed verified her statement, which was also a question that had always troubled him, so he seized the opportunity to ask:

"Everyone is quite vigilant. Did something happen before?"

In the dungeon, some NPCs will answer the player's questions about the background of the game, but this is a minority after all, and more clues need to be found by the player's own investigation, but Lin Sheng believes that there is nothing wrong with giving it a try. As a test, is this NPC an enemy or a friend?

When the woman surnamed Ma heard the words, she suddenly quickened her pace, and said falteringly: "That's not true, it's much better now...".Immediately, as if she suddenly remembered something, she slapped her thigh and said:

"Hey, I almost forgot to remind you. You have to be careful when working here in the future. If you find anyone sneaking around, you must immediately remind everyone to pay attention!"

Since joining the job, the situation mentioned by the woman surnamed Ma has not happened once, which made Lin Sheng very curious, what kind of sneaky people would appear near the orphanage?

But compared to the temporarily interrupted clues, another matter occupied Lin Sheng's mind even more.Lin Sheng wandered around in his spare time. The colleagues in the orphanage thought he was on patrol, but in fact, he was looking for someone else.

There were no other buildings around the orphanage. Lin Sheng turned around a few times, but found no trace of Qian Ying.

It's so strange, I obviously teamed up with Qian Ying, how many days has it been?Why does it seem to be a single copy?

So, on the one hand, Lin Sheng continued to search for Qian Ying and other players in the orphanage, and on the other hand, he asked the children in the orphanage about the situation here.

The orphanage is maintained by grants and social donations, so it is relatively tight. The tables, benches, beds, etc. used by the children are built by themselves, which saves a lot of money compared to buying from the furniture market. Lin Sheng’s job is to repair these wooden furniture. , and at the same time add some new ones for use, after all, many homeless children are adopted by orphanages every year.

Most of the children sent to the orphanage are congenitally deficient, some are stupid and dull, and some are physically disabled. Anyone who sees them will feel sad.The dean of the orphanage is a monk, and he usually talks to the employees about reincarnation and karma in previous lives. Lin Sheng listened to it a lot, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that he was also born as a human being, but some people began to suffer early. If it is said that people suffer misfortune because they have done a lot of evil, but these children are obviously innocent, who are they accepting punishment on behalf of?

Lin Sheng passed the probationary period of work very quickly, and the dean and other colleagues were very satisfied with him. After all, it is not easy to find a carpenter here who is skilled and responsible. However, only Lin Sheng knows that from the beginning to the end Now, his mentality has undergone a fundamental change, and now he wants to do something for the children from the bottom of his heart.

The game endowed him with carpentry skills, so Lin Sheng worked seriously, and also used the leftover wood to make wooden horses, and small pieces of leftovers to make various small toys.

The children liked these novel gadgets very much, and their attitude towards Lin Sheng changed from being wary at the beginning to liking them. Lin Sheng was always surrounded by a group of children, which made it easier for Lin Sheng to inquire more information from them.

To Lin Sheng's surprise, the children here liked the principal and the nurses very much, and he didn't find any traces of abuse on the children, which could preliminarily rule out the possibility of child abuse in the orphanage.

Lin Sheng gradually realized that although the orphanage was unable to make ends meet, the director tried his best to feed and clothe all the children, but there were more and more children, so they were all as thin as monkeys.

The three meals a day in the welfare home are very simple. Although Lin Sheng wanted to use his own recipes to cook delicious food for the children, but his job was not suitable for the kitchen, and the colleagues in the welfare home were everywhere. If he acted rashly, It is very likely to cause NPCs to doubt their identity.

Therefore, Lin Sheng had no choice but to work during the day, looking for clues to the game, and when the night was quiet, he took out all kinds of delicacies from the recipe and secretly sent them to the children's dormitory. At the same time, he asked them not to tell others, because the children thought it was a game between them. , all obediently kept this secret for Lin Sheng.

Seeing the overcrowding of the orphanage, Lin Sheng knew that the dean had been looking for various ways to give these children a real home, but he could tell from the dean's frown all day long that things were not going well.

A child told Lin Sheng that it was not that no one came to adopt them, but that the adopters would only choose young and healthy children, and those who met the requirements had already been adopted.

Speaking of this, the child with congenital deficiency silently lowered his head and sighed, implying that no one wanted the rest.The younger ones may still fantasize about being adopted one day, but the older ones already understand that they are not welcome in this world.

Such days have passed for a long time. Although Lin Sheng's arrival failed to fundamentally change the fate of the children, he was also very pleased to see the children's faces getting rounder.

At the same time, he became more and more anxious——

There is still no news from Qian Ying. The progress of the game seems to be stuck. He doesn't have much time. After this dungeon is over, he will enter the nightmare dungeon, and he can't delay any longer.

Just when Lin Sheng was going to investigate in the small county, two uninvited guests came to the orphanage.

"Dean! We don't want this either..."

Disputes could be heard faintly from inside the door, and it could be heard that the visitor was a little agitated.Lin Sheng looked curiously at the dean's office, but just happened to see a woman surnamed Ma walking down the second floor holding a little boy's hand.

The little boy had never been seen in the orphanage. He had sound hands and feet, and his big black eyes were chattering, revealing an energy of intelligence. He didn't look like a child who would be abandoned here.

"Why are you so disobedient?!" The woman surnamed Ma taught dissatisfiedly as she walked, "Do you know how much other children envy you? Why are you running around all day long!"

The little boy flattened his mouth in grievance, and suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, the little boy stopped moving and looked at the woman beside him stubbornly.

The woman surnamed Ma wanted to take the boy to the yard, but he didn't cooperate, so she pulled the boy's arm hard, and the boy bent his legs, and his feet took root on the ground, just like a pet dog who didn't want to go home.

Seeing him swearing to die, the woman said angrily: "Look at your bad temper!"

Seeing the two stalemate there, Lin Sheng hurried over.

"Miss Ma, what's the matter?"

Hearing the sound, the boy raised his head, and immediately saw Lin Sheng's work card hanging around his neck. He had never seen Lin Sheng before, and he thought that the other party was a new employee who came to him during his adoption. Perhaps he thought Lin Sheng had a kind face, and the boy With a thought, he suddenly broke away from the hand of the woman surnamed Ma and ran towards Lin Sheng.

"Hey hey!" Amidst the woman's exclamation, the boy had already circled behind Lin Sheng and hugged Lin Sheng's thigh. He looked like a little beast that had been bullied and sought protection. It was pitiful. Xi's.

Lin Sheng didn't expect this to happen, but the boy hugged him tightly, so Lin Sheng could only pat him on the shoulder to comfort him. Seeing this situation, the woman surnamed Ma couldn't help pulling the boy over, so she sighed and said:

"You——, Xiao Lin, then please take care of him for a while."
