In the corridor on the third floor, the only difference in appearance between the rooms on the right and left is probably the door.
The brown painted doors look taller than the ordinary cyan iron doors. Even though they have auxiliary windows on their doors, the door locks are more complex and appear to be stronger than those in the corridor on the right.
After the female social worker looked at it, she reached out and twisted the round door handle, and then found that it could not be opened.
"Sister, it's locked." She turned back and blinked in distress.
The female reporter who was watching from the side did not expect that she would turn the door handle directly. She was stunned for a long time, and then said: "The key may be with the street office. He was responsible for opening the door before."
"Then what should we do now?" The female social worker looked at her.
"Think of other ways."
"Smash it open?"
"..."
The female reporter glanced at the cute girl in front of her and saw that she had already taken out her dark green bamboo cane and tested the position of the end of the cane against the round door handle.
Although the female reporter felt that it would be too reckless to hit him directly, but looking at the other party's actions, she suddenly didn't want to stop him.
After all, someone has to open the door.
"Boom!"
However, just as the female social worker knocked her cane on the door handle, the female reporter suddenly grabbed her cane.
Under the questioning eyes of the other party, the female reporter twitched her lips: "Wait a minute, I think this is too reckless. Do you know how to pick a lock?"
The female social worker shook her head innocently.
"Forget it, I'll do it."
She pulled the female reporter behind her, took out the vitreous marbles from her pocket, rubbed the three-centimeter-sized beads into a long, slender, translucent stick.
Then, she inserted the long stick into the keyhole on the door handle, and the marbles automatically changed to fill the keyhole.
Give it a final twist.
"Kacha."
The door opened, revealing a narrow and dark crack.
The female reporter subconsciously looked at the social worker next to her.
The two of them stood in front of the cracked door and stared for a while, until the confused female social worker reached out and pressed her hand on the door panel, leaned forward and pushed hard.
"Go in?"
"Well, go in."
The female reporter took the marble back.
After the door was pushed open, the moonlight from the corridor shone in, forming a sharp-angled light sheet on the floor at the door.
There is enough light, allowing the situation in the stalls to be seen more clearly.
Fine particles of dust floated in the air, wandering gracefully in the pale moonlight. The air was filled with the smell of books that had become moldy and had been dusty for a long time.
The female social worker walked in first, waving her palms to fan the dust in front of her, and looking around with a curious expression.
In comparison, female reporters are much more cautious.
She first made sure that her thinking did not seem to be affected, and then tentatively walked into the file room. She first placed her eyes on the desk at the door, then walked over and looked at the blackened paper on the table.
"Qiming Archives Reading Manual".
1. If you have already entered, please take the time to read this reading guideline.
2. The archives store not only information about Qiming Orphanage, but also various types of books. You can take pictures and read them, but you are not allowed to draw, excerpt, or damage the paper.

6. If you violate rule 5, please leave the stall immediately and enter any room belonging to a caregiver.
7. You will get a new job there.
…
"Wait a minute, come here and read this first."
After reading the rules, the female reporter looked up and saw that the social worker had walked to the bookshelf. She quickly called her in a low voice.
"Um?"
The female social worker who was about to reach for the book heard this, turned around and walked over, then read the rules on the paper at a glance, nodded obediently: "Oh, I got it!"
Seeing her so nervous and carefree, the female reporter pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
The storage room is not large. There are five rows of bookshelves in the center, as well as independent bookshelves standing against the wall and reaching the ceiling in the back of the room. In the corner of this row of bookshelves, there is also a large printer.
There are no chairs except the desk.
The female reporter was concerned about her task. After reading the rules, she walked to the bookshelf and observed the names of the books on it.
The bookshelf does not have classification labels, but similar books are placed together.
There are one or two books here, ranging from literary classics to novels and biographies, and even hot-blooded comics. It seems like this place should be a small library in Qiming Orphanage.
The female reporter walked to the bookshelf against the wall.
There are a lot of blue folders piled here.
Her eyes lit up, she took out a folder with her gloved right hand, held it on her arm and opened it to read.
"Qiming Building Construction Plan".
Qiming Orphanage originally had only one floor. Later, when the son of the first director took over, it was slightly expanded until it became the current three-story Western-style building.
The folder is very thin and contains no important information.
However, the female reporter put it back after reading it and pulled out the folder next to it.
"Qiming Orphanage Expansion Plan".
Why is it construction again?
The female reporter raised her eyebrows and read it patiently. Then she read several construction plans about the "Qiming Orphanage" before finally finding something useful.
This is a thick folder, which contains information on orphans that Qiming Orphanage has historically received.
As an orphanage with a history of more than ten years, Qiming Orphanage has admitted at least hundreds of children. After reading the previous information hastily, the female reporter turned to this year's information.
First up was a photo of a boy.
Name: Yashu.
Sex: Male.
Age: nine years old.
Although the boy's face has not grown yet, he already has a delicate and handsome appearance, his burnt-yellow eyes are particularly attractive, and he has a faint and elegant smile at the corner of his mouth.
This posture looks a bit like that girl.
The female reporter frowned and turned down the page, and sure enough she saw the girl's information.
Name:Lina.
Gender: Female.
Age: nine years old.
She is Yueshu's twin sister.
The mugshot above looks very similar to the girl in the blue nun uniform in the corridor just now, except that the girl in the photo looks much brighter.
Great! I found useful information!
The female reporter turned back to the previous page and carefully checked the information about the "appointment". As a result, the more she looked at it, the stiffer her expression became.
The reason why these two children became orphans was because of the elder brother, Yashu, who personally created them.
Because the children were still young, it was impossible to establish a crime according to the laws of this world, and their relatives were unwilling to adopt such a demon, so the two were finally sent to Qiming Orphanage.
The time of admission is the New Year this year.
This is the year of the orphanage accident.
The female reporter frowned. After reading the information about the two children, she continued to turn to the next page.
Name: Lily.
Gender: Female
Age: ten years old.
She is a girl with blue eyes, a high ponytail, and a very cheerful smile.
The girl came to the orphanage two years ago.
The reason why she was sent here was that she bullied the nanny at home, and even locked the nanny in the freezer as a prank to kill her. When her parents found out, she refused to repent, and she set a fire and killed her parents as well.
The female reporter was stunned and immediately turned to the next page.
Name: David.
Sex: Male.
Age: ten years old.
After being kidnapped, he tortured and killed the two kidnappers, frightening his parents and causing him to be abandoned for adoption.
Name: Mark.
Because my mother didn’t agree to buy toys, she got angry and started...
Female reporter: "..."
After flipping through several pages of information, the female reporter's expression gradually became dull.
In the past few years, Qiming Orphanage has completely accepted a group of demons, right?
On the contrary, she thought it was the most awesome thing that this orphanage could persist for so long before being knocked down!
After all, he is the one who can suppress these demons.
Just as the female reporter was shaking her head and sighing, suddenly, she received a system prompt.
