Chapter 1337: Locked room, loud noise
"What was that?" Rong Wei woke up and questioned. His eyes warily looked around the room but he did not find anything. However, he was sure that he heard something just now!
Captain Lei also stepped down from his bed. He was looking at the direction from where the sound came from but there was nothing but a wall! Did the sound come from the room next door?
"It must be the kids," Yun Yi yawned and then turned to the other side of the bed. He said, "There is no need for you to worry." Yan Shan agreed with him, the children living in the room next to them must have dropped something on the floor. It was three in the morning, it was normal to drop something while moving in the darkness.
There was no need to worry.
However, it turned out that there were indeed a lot of reasons for worrying. Because the one thud that echoed in their room once, soon turned into slow repeated knocks on the wall. That wasn't all, there were scratching sounds followed by low groans. It was terrifying in the silence of the night.
"What ...what is going on!?" Rong Wei could no longer ignore the thuds and screeching noises. It was as if something crazy was locked in that room!
Even Yun Yi couldn't sit still. He slid down the bed and said to the rest, "I will go and see what is going on. Stay where you are."
With that, he walked out of the room, without waiting for the others to speak.
Captain Lei, on the other hand, looked at Rong Wei. The two of them exchanged a look feeling a bit weird. Yan Shan on the other hand couldn't help but remark, "Just now... when we came... wasn't that door locked?"
His words jolted a memory in the heads of Rong Wei and Captain Lei. That was right, the room next to them was locked. So who was inside?
Their expression twisted and the three men ran out of the room, however when they stepped out of the room. They did not find Yun Yi! Where did he go all of a sudden?
On the other side, Song Yan arrived at the small orphanage where it was said that Ye Xiyuan grew up. She wanted to see what kind of orphanage would take in an entity and even raise it.
Though it was rather late in the night, she knew that if she wanted to find out more about Ye Xiyuan she had to take advantage of the time when she was busy. And Song Yan was certain that the entity was really busy at the moment.
She walked over to the stairs of the orphanage and reached the top before ringing the bell. This bell was used whenever someone wanted to abandon their child on the doorstep of the orphanage and when this bell was rung.
The door of the orphanage was opened by the director.
"How may I help you?" The director of the orphanage asked as she looked at Song Yan. She thought that it was another child abandoned at the doorstep of the orphanage and this was the reason why she opened the door. Who would have thought that it was a grown woman?
"There is something that I want to talk about," Song Yan as she stepped inside the orphanage. She looked at the warm-coloured walls and pristine clean floor. It did not look like an orphanage at all but a neat house.
She glanced at the director who was dressed in silk and slyly smiled. With her hands behind her back, she looked at the woman in front of her and questioned, "Do you have time?"
The Orphanage director was speechless. She never thought that the woman standing outside the door would not only step inside but also act as if it was the right thing and time for her to question her!
The director sighed and said harshly, "If there is something that you want to say then you should come in the morning. This is not the time for--"
"Ye Xiyuan," Song Yan said to the woman with a smile on her face. "I know that she did not grow up in this orphanage."
Her words caused all the blood from the Director's face to fade. She immediately said, "I have no idea what you are talking about! If you don't leave then I will call the police."
However, before she could make a call her body suddenly fell to the ground. She couldn't even move her finger, she stared at Song Yan before asking, "W..What did you do?"
Song Yan smiled as she slowly crouched down and sat on her heels. She cupped her cheek and stated, "Nothing. Since I cannot have you call the police, I immobilized you for a second. However, don't worry as long as you answer my questions you will be fine."
"And if I don't answer?" Director Dai asked as she looked at Song Yan nervously. She could not understand how she provoked this woman!
Hearing her question Song Yan opened her eyes and then smiled at the woman before saying, "If you don't then I will leave you like this. Maybe you will get better in a day or two?"
Of course, she was only scaring the woman as the talisman would lose its power in an hour at most. She did not and could not harm humans as per the heavenly law.
However, Director Dai thought that Song Yan was speaking the truth. Her eyes widened and she said to Song Yan, "I will answer whatever you want to know. Just let me go."
"Well, wouldn't that depend on you? The sooner you answer my questions, the sooner I will get out of your hair."
