Chapter 114: Love Welfare Center
The center screen of the gaming hall, Nightmare Nova Hall.
Heads bustled in front of Bai Liu's small TV, and regular players tilted their heads incredulously at the small TV screen of Nightmare Nova's first:
"Bai Liu also rushes too fast! What's he eating that fast?"
"Eat the little witch, the child man has gone silly, who did he just call a little witch?"
"Liu Jiayi."
"What Jiayi?"
"Liu What Yi?"
"Liu Jia what?"
"...... you little witch fans stop fooling yourselves, Liu Jiayi , Liu Huai's sister, Bai Liu just rolled out, I don't think it's too far off."
"I won't listen to it! The Forbidden Witch is so cold, so elegant, so mature, and under the black veil must be a beautiful twenty-eight year old girl!"
"Wake up, Taboo Witch is so short, she's more like an eighty-eight year old girl."
"...... Didn't the character formula book put out by the Dogby King's Guild say that the Forbidden Witch was an underdeveloped person! Damn! I always thought the Forbidden Witch was a midget! So that's what underdeveloped means!"
"Flying Melon, the forum threads have exploded, countless Little Witch's boyfriend fans are wailing about how their wives have suddenly turned into daughters, and they're not ready to be fathers ......"
"Heart seems to be dealing with this matter, but the more troublesome is the game, I feel Liu Huai situation is not very good, tsk, this year's league support season can ah, in the popular newcomers burst a so big melon ......"
"I don't think it's good for Bai Liu, the little witch has always been tough on non-team members, I feel Bai Liu is going to be cold."
"A clash of old and new Nightmare Nova #1's, and just who's going to be whose nightmare - the forums are already open for posting at Tao ......"
------
Liu Huai flung himself on his knees in front of Bai Liu, his mouth grew wide and he lost his words for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
There was only a haze of tears in his eyes, black and dark and watery, as if they were a piece of the sky with no light.
Liu Huai kneels in front of Bai Liu with his head hanging down, as if he were a puppet whose soul had been emptied, his upper limbs had been torn off by a naughty child inadvertently, and all that was left was a body that couldn't stand up straight, huddled in place after the puppet strings had been ripped off.
Tears could no longer be shed, Liu Huai's eyes were vacant, his face was streaked with tears, and everything seemed far away from him.
The damp ward and the dark little countryside gradually overlapped in front of him, and Liu Jiayi's dirty and well-behaved smiling face was the only thing he could see that was different from anything else.
She runs barefoot through the mountains and fields, sniffs wildflowers and grasses by the weir, and then Liu Jiayi turns her head and smiles at Liu Huai's nervous scolding.
Liu Jiayi bends his invisible eyes, tilts his little face up to call him brother loudly, and flies toward him with open arms, like a bird, a butterfly, a sun that doesn't know it's shining.
What a reckless and naive little girl, she was full of wounds fell into Liu Huai's arms, the body is full of traces after being beaten, Liu Huai choked and stroked Liu Jiayi's hair, said right away, right away, brother will be able to test out! You'll be able to hold out a little longer for the sake of your brother!
And Liu Jiayi leaned meekly against his chest and said in a very, very soft voice, Jiayi will stick it out for her brother.
Liu Huai carried Liu Jiayi on his back from the mountains on a rainy night. From that day on, Liu Huai vowed to make sure that she wouldn't see any darkness in the world, and to bring her the brightest future possible, and to be worthy of what she had given up for herself.
They both had the blood of the man they hated the most, and relied on that disgusting bloodline to connect with each other and grow up stuttering and scared and snuggling.
Liu Huai said to Liu Jiayi, "My brother and sister have been through the most terrible things together, so we will never let go of each other's hands no matter what.
Liu Jiayi is the most important person to him. Liu Huai is willing to live in this horrible game in order to give her a bright future, willing to be Zhang Gui's lackey, to take the dagger and betray his best friend, willing to die for her.
But she still lied to him.
Just as he had lied to Liu Jiayi, Liu Jiayi had lied to him.
Liu Huai recalled in a trance a dirty, hidden under the bed Liu Jiayi s face ...... Is this retribution?
Because of what he did to Jiayi, because of his cowardly inaction, so is this also Jiayi's revenge and retribution against him?
"...... Do you know why I followed Zhang Gui and betrayed Fourth Brother?" Liu Huai's head looked like it was going to lower to the ground as he said very, very softly, "...... Because at that time Zhang Gui took Jiayi's news in real life to threaten me to join the King's Guild and be his puppet to surround Fourth Brother... ..."
Liu Huai's eyes were devoid of any expression, "He promised to give me good treatment and guarantee my safety, and I was indeed the best treated of all his puppets... but I've always wondered, I've never talked to anyone about Jiayi in the game, why did Zhang Gui knows about Jiayi's existence, why does he know that Jiayi is my sister, why does he know so many details about what happened between Jiayi and I as if I told him of my own accord."
Bai Liu listened quietly without speaking.
Liu Huai laughed a little, tears rolled down: "So, Jiayi and him are a pair of combination ah, these should be Jiayi and he said it, why Jiayi want to say this to him? Bai Liu, you say Jiayi is so smart, is she, is she ......"
He finally managed to choke up, Liu Huai mumbled in a somewhat trance-like manner, "Did ...... she do it on purpose, she knew what was happening from beginning to end ...... she was punishing me ...... punishing me for the things I've done, I'm not a good brother ......"
"If you ask me." Bai Liu replied calmly, "I think she probably thought it was best for you, joining the King's Guild as a puppet under Zhang Gui would be the safest for you in this game, and as for Zhang Gui manipulating you into betraying Mu Sicheng under her hints, with your abilities following Mu Sicheng Indeed it is not safe."
"So if her goal is to safeguard your survival in the game, then I think it's perfectly reasonable for her to do what she's doing to you - letting high-level players take you on while helping you hone your abilities, choosing the best guilds for you and teammates she can control, giving you shelter, and following you in time to save you when you go into some of the more high-risk games in time to follow in and save you, and in general everything she did was planned to protect you."
After Liu Huai entered the game, he was afraid that he would die and had to send Liu Jiayi to the orphanage on the day, that little girl curled up in Liu Huai's arms, hugged his neck, and said to him as if she was worried, "Brother, is Jiayi a burden and trouble to you? Do you want to send me away?
He laughed and shook his head, saying no, Jiayi is the future for me, and I'm sorry to have to send you here for the time being, but someday, if my brother lives, I'll be sure to take you away.
To give you the brightest future.
Liu Huai lowered his head for a long time without speaking, then raised his head sluggishly, "...... So from that time onwards, I want to live, is it such a troublesome thing for her?"
"Whether it's troublesome or not is another story, but she definitely doesn't need you to save her, and it's even very likely that she'll go after the other children in order to save you, because she, as a veteran player who has had a certain amount of experience, Liu Jiayi surely understands the mechanics of this Level 2 game now." Bai Liu's eyes moved calmly to Liu Huai, "That means her own blood alone isn't enough, she'll need the blood of at least one more child in order to save you."
"So now the question arises, which child will she seek to draw blood from." Bai Liu paused, "As well as Liu Huai, since I controlled you in the last game, with her protectiveness towards you, I think it's very likely that she'll feel that I'm a danger to you, and in order to eliminate this factor of me being more of a danger than Mu Sicheng is to you, there's a high probability that she'll kill my child, which is little Bai Liu. "
"I suspected that she would draw the blood of my children, but thankfully now my children are in the church." Bai Liu said calmly, "And unfortunately, with my mobility, little Bai Liu will soon be able to touch the place where they are confined and take them on the run today - and right now though I reasoned out this information."
Bai Liu shook the big brother in his hand and frowned in a rare way, "But because this phone is one-way, I can't call little Bai Liu to inform him of this information, I must wait until he calls after six in the morning before I can tell him what I know."
Bai Liu was quiet for two seconds, "But I doubt he'll live to fight."
"So now it's our ragtag group that's about to face the league players Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang ...... who are going to awaken," Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu and Liu Huai and showed a smile that was worse than a cry. smile, "And over there our children will have to deal with your sister, the Nova First Little Witch, without knowing anything about it."
"Probably. "Bai Liu said nonchalantly, "Most likely we're going to die, Mu Ke."
---------- ------
5:37 a.m. Craft classroom in the back of the orphanage.
The chaos caused by the explosion in the private hospital didn't end until nearly 3:00 a.m. After confirming that there weren't any teachers making their rounds near the church, Bai Liu Jr. darted all the way down the grove from behind, wrapping around the orphanage looking for where Mu Ke and the others would have been confined - usually these teachers are confined in two places, a There are two places where these teachers are usually confined, the cafeteria warehouse, and this two-room handmade classroom that is like a prison with windows on one side facing the corridor toilets.
Bai Liu went to the cafeteria and saw that there were no children there, so it's very likely that Mu Ke and the others were locked up in the handicraft classroom. Bai Liu was very vigilant and tumbled into the building through the window in the women's restroom of the orphanage, and then waited quietly behind the door of the women's restroom.
After waiting for a teacher to come in to use the restroom and making the sound of keys clinking on his belt, Bai Liu didn't hesitate to come out from behind the door and sneak up on the teacher.
After knocking out the teacher with a candlestick he had taken from the church, he removed the teacher's key from his waist, he hid in the doorway of the girls' restroom alertly and calmly adjusting his ragged and rapid breathing, and after making sure that no teachers or caretakers were coming down the corridor, Bai Liu ran across the corridor with very light hand and foot movements to the two craft classrooms.
Bai Liu pressed himself against the door, glancing from side to side down the corridor in case someone approached, his hands moving quickly to open the craft room outside.
As soon as the door opened, Mu Ke was shocked to see little Bai Liu who dodged into the classroom in a flash, he was so happy that he was about to jump up, "Bai Liu!
"Came to take you guys on the run." Bai Liu briefly and succinctly explained the current situation, "I've stepped on the outside, last night I found out that the group of flute-playing children with infusion bags wrapped around their bodies came from a tunnel behind the church's statue of God, and they took the children out through this tunnel in the church as well, which was seen last night by me who was in the church, and I've been following them for a while in the tunnel. noticed that this tunnel smelled strongly of antiseptic solution."
"While it's still light and the teachers are all still sleeping, we can run out through this tunnel, I'm guessing based on the strong smell of antiseptic solution in this tunnel that the direction the tunnel leads to should be the same place where this group of children who have had their blood drawn came from - that is, the vicinity of the private hospital, and all the investors over there in the hospital leave the wards are active after nine o'clock, we have to run over there before nine o'clock to avoid being caught running head-on into these our investors."
"There must be a car near the hospital, get in and we'll be safe." Bai Liu briefly explained his plan, "This is the backup plan that my investor and I discussed earlier, he said that if we couldn't run out of the orphanage at the open house last night, and the orphanage's gates were already locked, then we could activate this backup plan - we could try to follow the group of flute-playing kids on the run to try and find out how they got out of the orphanage."
"Last night I have stepped on the escape route, comprehensive analysis down, now I think this plan can be implemented, you guys pack up and prepare to give it a go, we need to move faster."
All of last night's frightening encounters were trivialized by Bai Liu, who swept his gaze across the classroom, finally settling on the faces of Miao Gaojiang and Mu Ke, who didn't say a word: "Where are the other two? Miao Feichi and Liu Jiayi?"
Bai Liu reacted quickly and looked at Mu Ke with a cold gaze, "What happened? Why were these two people locked up in another classroom by the teacher?"
Mu Ke swallowed as he stepped forward to explain to Bai Liu what had happened, and Bai Liu Jr.'s eyes sank.
Bai Liu said that Miao Feichi did have a cannibalistic habit, and Bai Liu did not find it strange that, not knowing whether he would be saved today, Miao Feichi, a fool, thought and acted on the idea of having a full meal before he died.
But Liu Jiayi is also not a simple child, actually followed Miao Feichi over without resistance ...... Considering some of the information that Bai Liu had previously explained to him, Liu Jiayi had obvious suspicions, but Bai Liu did not have any extra time to deal with these doubts The first thing that he did was to get the money to pay for it.
His investors, the future him, are still waiting for him to escape with the others--Bai Liu needs him to save Liu Jiayi, no matter how many suspicions Liu Jiayi has.
After all, Bai Liu gave money.
"I'll go over and take a look, you guys stay here." Bai Liu turned around and was about to leave this classroom, but as he opened the door the doubt in his mind caused him to pause slightly for a second as he turned his head to look at Mu Ke who was looking at him blearily, "If I don't make it back in time in ten minutes you guys are going to be jumping out of the window in the women's restroom and running around by yourselves from the jungle side over to the church side. "
"The exit out of here is directly underneath the thorn-ridden statue of the Reverse Cross, underneath the Baptismal Pool, and when I'm done with this side of things I'll bring Liu Jiayi and the others to come after you." Bai Liu looked to Miao Gaojiang and narrowed his eyes slightly threateningly, "Mu Ke has a heart condition, Miao Gaojiang you better run with him take care of him or else ...... you know what you're mortgaging on my side. "
"Yes!" Miao Gaojiang heard Bai Liu give another escape plan out, her face was now vaguely excited, and she hurriedly answered.
Hearing Xiao Bai Liu's explanation, Mu Ke's heartbeat accelerated uneasily, "Just going to another classroom, what could happen? Miao Feichi can't do anything to you! You can come back and run with us!"
"I don't know what's going to happen, it's just that I've always had bad luck and good things don't come my way." Little Bai Liu braced himself against the door and turned his head over to look at Mu Ke, the dim morning light falling from behind him, pulling out long, ominous shadows on the ground.
Little Bai Liu's gaze is very light, so light that you can hardly see any emotion, his pale, blood-stained face is little by little dyed by the golden sunlight gilded surface, and you can even see those like unripe fruits on his face like a tiny fluffy hairs, the corners of his mouth seem to carry a little indescribable and inexplicable smile.
Little Bai Liu curled her eyes and let out a light laugh, "But last night I seemed to be pretty lucky, probably because I changed my name, it's like I was suddenly blessed by something very strange, something good happened to me."
He pushed the door open, turned his back on Mu Ke and waved casually as he left the craft classroom where he'd painted two gift drawings for Bai Liu.
