A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 31 The Strange Child

The caregiver put aside her inner grumbling and led Lin Yue into the center.

Lin Yue followed him, changed into a similar blue sterile gown, and asked, "What am I supposed to do later? Change their diapers?"

Although he is currently a volunteer.

But he really didn't know how to do the job.

"What you need to do is very simple: help move some things and do some physical labor. Someone will come to guide you later," the caregiver said. "Our center only admits teenagers under the age of eighteen. You are not a professional, and if you come into contact with them rashly, you may easily provoke them. It would be bad if they hurt you."

Lin Yue's expression was strange.

I glanced at my own physique—over 1.8 meters tall with six-pack abs.

Am I injured?

What kind of children are being treated here?

However, he nodded to show he understood, and then, as he walked into the park, he asked, feigning curiosity, "Are there any particularly strange children inside?"

The caregiver turned around and gave him a meaningful look.

"We have all sorts of strange children here. Which one are you looking for?"

Lin Yue "·····"

It seems so. If there wasn't something strange about him, would he have been sent to this mental hospital?

How should I find one myself?

The short, stout caregiver continued walking forward, instructing him on what he should pay attention to while working.

For example, avoid talking to the patient and protect your belongings.

Just then, a little girl holding a teddy bear suddenly walked out from the depths of the corridor ahead.

The little girl had neat pigtails and wore a white floral doll dress. She had big eyes that sparkled with curiosity.

Lin Yue kept the instructions in mind.

He immediately shut his mouth, turned slightly to the side, and waited for the little girl to walk past him.

But when the girl walked up to the caregiver and Lin Yue, she suddenly stopped.

The caregiver smiled warmly and half-squatted down, saying, "Qiqi, weren't you playing with your friends? Why are you here?"

But the girl named Qiqi didn't answer; she just stared blankly at Lin Yue.

After a while, she asked in a clear voice, "Brother, who are you? I've never seen you before."

Lin Yue looked at the short, stout caregiver next to her.

Until the short, stout caregiver nodded.

He smiled and said, "I'm a newcomer here today. You must be Qiqi, right? You can call me Brother Yue."

Kiki's eyebrows furrowed immediately.

She clutched the teddy bear in her arms, blinked, and complained.

"Brother Yue, why is there a transparent board with lots of words written on the back of your head? It's making my eyes blurry."

Lin Yue's pupils shrank instantly, and her smile froze.

Huh? What did you see?

The caregiver then came out and said, "Qiqi, why don't you go play on the playground by yourself? Your brother has things to do and can't play with you yet."

Kiki nodded obediently, then ran off with her teddy bear in her arms.

At this moment, the caregiver turned to Lin Yue and said, "How was it? Did you see that? It's weird enough, but I still want to give you a heads-up. Qiqi is already the most normal and well-behaved child in this center. Don't be scared by the other children later."

Lin Yue wiped non-existent sweat from her face and forced a smile.

"Hehe, that's certainly strange."

Could the board this kid is talking about be referring to the system?

This was just a small episode in my volunteer work.

The caregiver then explained many precautions to him.

"Have you remembered all these things?"

"Yes, I've remembered them all."

The caregiver nodded in satisfaction and praised, "College students have such good brains; they actually remembered so much."

Lin Yue smiled but didn't say anything.

But the caregiver seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped. "Oh, right, there's one more thing you need to pay attention to."

"What's wrong?"

"Whatever you do, whatever you do, do not go to the quarantine area."

"Quarantine zone?" Lin Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Some patients tend to be more aggressive and dangerous, so they are placed in a special area, which is the isolation area," the caregiver explained.

"Okay, I understand," Lin Yue said, feigning agreement.

He had a premonition that the person he was looking for might be in that quarantine zone.

Lin Yue then began her formal work.

They mostly do odd jobs like moving goods and cleaning, and occasionally they also act as a caring older brother, helping the children solve problems.

Based on his observations along the way.

There are indeed quite a few children here with problems.

Autism is one of the most common diseases here.

However, most of them behaved relatively calmly, and it's not yet clear which one the system has asked them to find.

"It seems we still need to go check out that quarantine area," Lin Yuexin thought.

Now that I've finished helping out, I can finally relax for a while.

He quickly went to find the girl named Qiqi who had been hugging the teddy bear.

"Your name is Qiqi, right? Do you remember me?"

Smiling, she squatted down, took a lollipop out of her pocket, and held it out to the child.

Kiki's eyes lit up immediately, and she took the lollipop.

"I remember you, you were the older brother with lots of words on the back of your head."

Lin Yue swallowed hard and asked, "Is there writing on the back of my head? Qiqi, are you sure?"

Could this girl really see the system?

Kiki tucked the lollipop into her pocket and nodded, saying, "Yes, I saw it."

"What do all those words mean?"

Kiki's cute face immediately scrunched up. "I can't even read yet, how would I know what it says?"

Lin Yue gave an awkward smile.

Then his expression turned serious, and he immediately changed the question.

"Qiqi, do you know where the quarantine zone is?"

"I know, but the headmaster won't let us go." Qiqi pointed in a direction. "Yeah, it's over there, always locked with an iron gate. Everyone says that a very, very bad kid is locked up there."

Lin Yue remembered that direction.

Is there only one child in the quarantine area?

Yes, there's only one.

"What does that child look like?"

"None of us have seen him, we only know that the uncles here don't seem to like him."

Lin Yue felt that she had found her goal.

He smiled and patted Qiqi's head, saying, "Little beauty, thank you so much. You've been a great help. But please don't tell me I asked you these questions."

Qiqi's face suddenly turned red when she saw Lin Yue's smile.

She lowered her head, avoiding eye contact, and asked, "Big brother, can you come here more often in the future?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "What? Qiqi, do you really like your big brother?"

Qiqi nodded eagerly, with a childlike frankness, "Yes, because the big brother is very handsome, much more handsome than Xiao Xuan."

Lin Yue didn't know who Xiao Xuan was, but that didn't stop him from smiling and giving a thumbs up, saying, "Hmm, you have good taste!"

Children are honest.

He then took out some snacks he had stolen from the staff break room and stuffed them all into Qiqi's arms.

This made Qiqi extremely happy.

After chatting with the child for a few more minutes, Lin Yue said goodbye to Qiqi and planned to go to the quarantine area alone.

However, just as Qiqi was skipping away, the teddy bear she had been holding suddenly turned its head and looked in the direction Lin Yue had gone with its black plastic eyes.

The fake smile sewn onto the doll's mouth, when it made that gesture, was enough to send chills down your spine.
