Chapter 84: Love Welfare Center

The next morning, 6:30 a.m. Monday morning.

Bai Liu did not want to sleep on the mushroom straw bed, he used the book pad on the floor to spend the night, the next day up on the floor of the book pages on the sticky, because the humidity in the room is too high, stick on the floor of the book pages are soaked through, sticky on the floor, the wall is also a lot of dew drops, Bai Liu see straight frown - three The humidity created by the three humidifiers working non-stop is even more outrageous than the rainy season.

But the three humidifiers in the ward were instructed by the nurses never to be turned off, just as it was one of the rules and regulations of this hospital that no high-intensity lighting should be used in the ward.

He sat quietly on the page waiting for Bai Liu Jr. to call - the kid was sure to call him in the morning for the money too, after all, he was billed by the minute.

At 6:45 a.m., Bai Liu's walkie-talkie rang, and this time Bai Liu didn't run, but breathed and stepped very softly, with the feeling of tiptoeing and sneaking out.

"Good morning, Mr. Investor." Bai Liu Jr. whispered in an almost breathy voice, "The kid who was chasing us yesterday is gone, and when I came out I saw the teacher in the hallway discussing how he was going to take us to church today to give a testimony to symbolize the fact that we children who have suffered are officially in a place of sanctuary, and that we are born again."

This group of children was admitted to the orphanage yesterday, today happens to be Monday, little Bai Liu This expression reminds Bai Liu instantly of the nursery rhyme sung [born on Monday].

Then according to that nursery rhyme - [Baptized on Tuesday], according to the process you should be baptized tomorrow.

"And then we will be baptized on Tuesday, tomorrow, to wash away all the suffering we've had outside." Bai Liu said softly, "Parents have to be present when children are baptized, but we don't have any parents except Liu Jiayi, so we are investors. Tuesday is an open day for parents, so you are allowed to come in, and I heard from the teachers that they will send invitations to those of you who invested in us, inviting you to come over and watch us being baptized. "

Bai Liu asked, "Did anything happen on your end last night?"

"The kids who went out on the phone last night, there was little Miao Feichi in the room I was in besides me, but we both managed to get back to our rooms and little Miao Feichi cried all night and looked like he should be okay, he ran away pretty fast. Although he was crying all the time, he wasn't caught." Little Bai Liu spoke in a flat tone, "But something rather strange happened in the early hours of the morning, I heard the footsteps of a child crossing the corridor and following the sound of a flute."

"These children were humming a nursery rhyme played by a flute, and I got up and looked at them, and felt that they should be awake, not sleepwalking, and talking and laughing, and they were like the children described in that fairy tale, and they went hopping in a line in the direction of the sound of the flute, but so far it was almost dawn, and I did not see them come back. "

It was also consistent with the information that Reality Bai Liu knew, that a group of children had followed the flute in the early hours of the morning and disappeared into a closed children's home, where they couldn't be found in any way.

"Do you think that flute has a hypnotic or mesmerizing effect?" Bai Liu inquired thoughtfully, "Would you want to follow it if you heard it?"

Bai Liu Jr. doesn't think twice: "No, it blows so bad I want to go to the bathroom."

"......" Considering that he seems to have always been very resistant to this kind of hypnotic suggestion, and that Bai Liu was seldom guided by the psychiatrists he saw in the real world, he asked one more question: "Have any of the other children in your room been affected by this flute? Did any of the other kids in your room get affected by the sound of the flute?"

There was silence over there for a while, as if recalling, and then little Bai Liu opened his mouth, "There shouldn't be any, except for little Miao Feichi who cried all night, the other children in the room all slept soundly."

Without the hypnotic and disorienting effect of the flute, why would these kids follow it of their own accord?

Bai Liu fell into thinking, it's hard not to believe that there is really a monster with a [Piper] setting in this copy, but if it's a monster with this setting, why does it only lure away a few children every time, after all, the Piper flute in the story was an indiscriminate attack, taking all the children away at once, but this Children's Welfare Institution's version of the Piper was a precise attack every time, only taking away a few children, or the child Active, how did this happen?

Xiao Bai Liu's voice over there suddenly lowered, "The teacher is coming over to check on us, this call time is 12 minutes and 37 seconds, rounded up to thirteen cents, a total of thirteen, plus last night's seventeen thousand a total of three thousand, thanks for your patronage, see you next time, Mr. Investor."

The other side finished and hung up very coldly.

Bai Liu this time sure, little Bai Liu this little friend must be pinching the stopwatch to call him.

At 9:00 a.m., radio announcements were made in the wards and in the hallway's:

"Good morning patients, after nine o'clock you can open your doors and move around, for those who have already searched for their medication, in five minutes the nurses will deliver the medication to your wards for administration, for those who have not yet searched for their medication, please go to the hospital cafeteria on the first floor to eat, and speed up your search for your medication afterward, you're already critically ill... ..."

Bai Liu opens the door, and he sees that other patients on this floor are also open.

After one night, it seemed that all these patients who came out were much more refreshed, all less parched as if they had sucked up all the moisture given by the humidifier.

In the corridor, there is a nurse pushing a food cart with high heels running fast to deliver medicines to some patients in the ward, Bai Liu tried to follow over to take a look, but the nurse's hands and feet move too fast, Bai Liu only caught a glimpse of the medicines in an airtight stainless steel container, and when the nurse pushed the cart to deliver the medicines, Bai Liu could hear a gurgling sound similar to that of water sloshing.

It would seem that the drug should be a liquid, Bai Liu mused, making a note of it.

Mu Ke and Bai Liu before checking in played a secret code, these two people live on the first floor, are the ninth floor, Mu Ke walked out, he hung under the eyes of the dark circles than before, like two final exams stayed up all night to prepare for the exams temporary students, are playing Hachette, a look at it stayed up all night to read the book.

As soon as Bai Liu came out, Mu Ke stared at Bai Liu, the thirst and concentration in his eyes made people's scalp numb, like a cat that is still very energetic after staying up all night, with a face that says "Come and jerk me off".

This look is all about wagging your tail for a reward.

Bai Liu obediently asked Mu Ke, "Did you find anything?"

"This game wants us to find formulas in medical books, I have read a lot of related literature because of my illness, and I know quite a bit about these, last night I wanted to split the work with you to read half of them each, but it turned out that on the first day the patients couldn't leave their rooms, so I just read them first, and last night I read twenty-one of them."

Mu Ke said, and patted his mouth and snorted again, so sleepy that tears were streaming out of his eyes, he couldn't help but complain, "This game setting is also too shit, the room is dark and wet and still not allowed to use lights, I can see that my eyes are going to be blind, luckily there is a pen to position my vision a bit, otherwise I'm going to be able to see astigmatism."

Hearing twenty-one books, Bai Liu was strangely silent for a while.

The books in this game are particularly thick, thick to what extent, thick to Bai Liu simply did not move to read the idea, Mu Ke this guy can actually read twenty-one books a night ......

"Will you be able to memorize it all after you read it?" Bai Liu inquired.

Mu Ke gave Bai Liu a strange look, "If you look at it, you can remember it, why can't you?"

Bai Liu: "......" he wouldn't be able to remember.

Bai Liu felt the contempt of the school bully for the school duds.

"How many books have you read?" Mu Ke asked Bai Liu.

Bai Liu This school scum was silent for a while and answered honestly, "0.01 book." He then turned two pages and closed it.

Staying up all night and overusing his brain made Mu Ke's reflexes drop so much that he thought about Bai Liu's words in a slightly stagnant manner for a moment before repeating with a wooden face, "0.01 copies?"

That's about the same as not watching it!

Then Mu Ke quickly reacted, he was a little anxious close to Bai Liu, looked around to make sure that there is no one else, and then lowered his voice and asked Bai Liu: "You're not really going to go to the ICU to steal that life-sustaining prescription, are you? Bai Liu you don't want to see can let me see, I read books very quickly, at most three days I can finish that bookcase of books!"

"But even after you've read it, do you know what the renewal remedy you're looking for looks like?" Bai Liu turned his head to question Mu Ke.

Mu Ke was stunned.

Indeed he did not know.

But even if Mu Ke had read twenty-one books in one night, and he could memorize every word in them, it is true that Mu Ke did not know what it was that they were looking for, because the definition of what the system was asking them to look for was so vague that it was difficult to determine, without a clear direction, what it was that they were looking for - - a specific drug, a treatment program, or something else. -It's a specific drug, a treatment program, or something else.

"Without precise instructions, it's hard to know what exactly the Life Renewal Remedy we're looking for is." Bai Liu glances at Mu Ke and tips patiently, "And the system's quest hints are to look for the Life Renewal Remedy in the library cabinets within the hospital, not necessarily specifically the library cabinets within our ward."

"But the bookcases are the same in all the wards." Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu with a little uneasiness, "When I came up here, I purposely peeked at the bookcases in the wards of the other patients before they closed the door, all the wards here have bookcases, I have a very good memory, and I can clearly remember that the types of books in the bookcases in the wards that I have looked at are more or less the same, and if the system is trying to let us look at the books to find the prescription, then breaking into the ICU and going in we can see the same books, it doesn't make much sense, Bai Liu. If the system is trying to get us to read books to find a cure for renewing our lives, then breaking into the ICU and going in we can see the same books, not very meaningful Bai Liu."

"But what's the difference between someone else's book, and ours?" Bai Liu looks to Mu Ke, "What's the difference between the book you read last night and the book you didn't read?"

Mu Ke was stunned for a moment, and after a moment's reflection he realized what Bai Liu was trying to say.

"It's notes!" Mu Ke's tone dawned, "When you read a book in this light in a hospital room, notes must be left in the book, because without a pen to orient your sight, you simply can't find what you read in the last sentence when you blink."

"Suppose in this hospital where there are no doctors, everyone is self-medicating. "Bai Liu explained unhurriedly, "Suppose they are like us, they all enter the hospital, and then read books, and look for ways to cure themselves in the books, and it is forbidden to bring any large light source in this hospital, but the light is very poor, then these people should read books with the help of the light that would have been available in the wards, that's why there are so many pens in our drawers. is why there are so many pens in it."

"Because in this kind of light, it's simply impossible to read a book without a pen, and with a pen, the book leaves all sorts of handwriting, or traces, of some important information they must have circled to make it easier to find next time."

Bai Liu calmly swept a glance at Mu Ke: "According to that ballad, Thursday sick Friday seriously ill Saturday death, this disease should be aggravated over time, the patients in the ICU are the sickest come the longest time, they are obviously receiving treatment, so the handwriting in their books is the most likely to reveal the system's so-called [renewal of the recipe]. "

Mu Ke frowns, "But even if we did, the ICU we simply can't break in."

So many nurses guarded watching, there is a Miao Feichi guarded aside, go to the ICU this kind of abnormal behavior will definitely let cause Miao Feichi s attention! And that thing in the ICU ...... obviously no longer has a human form, the high probability is a monster.

Bai Liu looked over to Mu Ke: "Originally I was worried that I wouldn't be able to read and memorize so many notes, but I'm relieved that you're here."

"I can help you memorize it!" Mu Ke nods, but he's a little worried, "But Bai Liu, how are we going to get into the ICU?"

Bai Liu stroked Mu Ke's head as he lowered his eyes and spoke in a low tone, "You'd do anything for me, wouldn't you, Mu Ke?"

Mu Ke hesitantly looked up at Bai Liu, Bai Liu's eyes were bottomless, and when he gazed at people in such a seemingly calm manner, his dark eyes gave off a chilling feeling like the waters of a deep well, causing Mu Ke to be slightly unsettled, but he bit his lower lip and opened his mouth anyway, "I do, Bai Liu. "

"Then are you willing to kill me?" Bai Liu asked Mu Ke with a gentle smile, he pulled out a snow-white bone whip and placed it in Mu Ke's trembling hand, his tone soft and coaxing, "Use my fishbone whip to strangle me until I bleed profusely, would you Mu Ke?"

Mu Ke was frozen.

--------

Ten minutes later, an emergency bell rang throughout the private hospital.

At this moment, Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang are having dinner on the first floor, they are not in a hurry to find Bai Liu and kill him, their priority is still the clues to pass the level, but they suddenly heard the sound of the first aid bell and thought that it triggered the plot of the game, Miao Feichi alertly stood up and drew his weapon, and Liu Huai, who is having dinner because of his sister's worry, also reflexively drew his sword in his sleeve, or the shadow dagger. Liu Huai, who was worried about his sister at dinner in the other corner, also reflexively drew his sword in his sleeve, or the Shadow Dagger.

A patient covered in blood stumbled down the emergency stairs, a snow-white bone whip in his hand, and ran out of the room with a hasty look on his face, a very identifiable prop that instantly caught Miao Feichi's attention.

He crossed a few tables in the cafeteria and moved quickly to stop in front of this player with his twin swords in his hands. Miao Feichi immediately startled this player when his twin swords were released and smashed on the ground.

This patient who cried and howled all the way and ran fast did not run steadily on the wet ground, and a butt slip fell on the ground, this player's tears came out, and once he threw his things away, he screamed out miserably: ''Bai Liu You don't want to look for me! It was that monster that killed you! I just patched you up trying to pick up the pieces!"

The player's body and face were all covered in blood, his breathing was not smooth, and he seemed to have been scared by the scene he had just seen, and now his hands were shaking and his pupils were dilated, and he was kneeling on the ground holding his head, whimpering and crying out loud as if he was terrified.

"Wimp." Miao Feichi, who had little interest in such common players, kicked the player, sending the player flying out his back smashing into a dining table pillar, "Stand up and answer me back."

The player bounced off the pillar behind him and whimpered loudly in pain.

Mu Ke's eyes were filled with tears, the fear, the dread, the immense guilt of hurting Bai Liu, and the unease of hurting his protector with his own hands almost caused Mu Ke to lose control, causing his mental values to fluctuate.

As Bai Liu held his hand and wrapped the sharp bone whip full of fish spines around his own snow-white, slender neck, Mu Ke kept shaking his head frantically, almost begging Bai Liu not to torture him like this.

He cried and begged for mercy, saying Bai Liu, you kill me, kill me can also enter the icu right? Then I'll be the one who gets hurt ok.

And Bai Liu smiled and said no, he said I don't have a good memory, I can't remember so many notes, so it's only me who gets hurt, you're the one who needs to stay awake, Mu Ke.

You're going to play in a league with me, you can't always depend on me, Mu Ke, you need to grow up, and the first step to growing up is trying to do things on your own away from me.

Bai Liu held Mu Ke's hand to shrink the bone whip around his neck, the fish spikes penetrating his skin, blood gushing out of the holes and soaking the straw bed, whitening the snow-white sheets.

Mu Ke, like a chick forced out of its nest, breaks down and screams hysterically, while Bai Liu, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, laughs indifferently, choking on the blood bubbles pouring into his windpipe, while this man is still stroking Mu Ke's head, as if he were a teacher explaining to his student his last wish before he dies - - Mu Ke, no matter in this game or the next game, we have to win, and we have to win until the end.

And it's all up to you, Mu Ke.

You have to fool Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang and win their trust, or we're really all dead.

Mu Ke gritted his teeth to control the near bone-cracking pain in his back from Miao Feichi's kick, his heart contracting desperately from the violent emotional ups and downs and movements that made Mu Ke want to gag a few times, but he dutifully clutched his head and shivered, pretending to be an average player who knew nothing about picking up the pieces.

All the nurses were in a hurry to get up there, and a couple of them were pushing emergency beds, exchanging words as they went:

"Which patient had the emergency? What was the name?"

"Patient called Bai Liu! rang the emergency bell herself, the nurse went over and confirmed that there was a laceration wound in the neck and blood loss, requiring emergency resuscitation!"

"What happened to the lacerations? He opened the door last night didn't he?"

"...... We confirmed with last night's roving nurse on that floor and it seems like he did open the door last night, and it's likely that something was put into his hospital room because of that ......"

"Get it to the operating room for a blood transfusion and stitches! Do we have nurses or patients in the hospital who can suture?"

"Yes! ICU room beds ready for when we get out of the OR and straight into the room!"

Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang glanced at each other, both saw incredulity in the other's eyes, Miao Gaojiang frowned, "Bai Liu was attacked last night when he opened the door? Is this really Bai Liu?"

"It should be, npc won't recognize the wrong player." Miao Feichi snorted imploringly, he watched a group of nurses running upstairs in a hurry, while running while saying that the patient's situation was urgent, Miao Feichi could not help but gloat a little, "Exempt, look at this situation, Bai Liu is going to send us a blood for nothing ah."

After saying that Miao Feichi also let out a fake sigh, "What should I do, I'm still going to take him live? If he dies, it won't be effective." After saying that, Miao Feichi picked up the chin of Mu Ke, who was lying on the ground and shivering, and condescendingly patted Mu Ke's face, which was in a sorry state and stained with blood, with his double knives.

"Get up, we're going to ask you a few questions, answer honestly." Miao Feichi laughed evilly, "Or else you'll be in for a treat."

After saying that, Miao Feichi pulled out a balance prop from somewhere.

This prop, which Mu Ke has seen in Bai Liu's "Exploding Last Train" VIP video, is called [Judge's Scale], a common prop used for lie detection, and Mu Sicheng once used it on Liu Huai.

This is a very common prop among professional league players, Zhang Gui also had it before, was stolen by Mu Sicheng, in determining the opponent someone is very like to play all kinds of schemes to fight against each other, such as Bai Liu this kind of intelligence type, many professional players will carry a hand.

Miao Feichi brought this prop with her this time, to prevent Bai Liu from being a firefighter and a burglar.

Mu Ke's pupils couldn't help but shrink at the sight of this prop, but he quickly slowed down his breathing - calm down, calm down, this prop can only answer yes and no, and he remembers that it can be answered by emotional manipulation, and Mu Sicheng was fooled by Liu Huai's answer.

"Don't even think about lying ah, I'm not as stupid as Mu Sicheng to be fooled, of course if you are Mu Sicheng then I'm sorry I'm offended." Miao Feichi crouched down with a smirk, his scimitar encircled Mu Ke, "You'd better not play any tricks, this scale does have some fallacies when answering some very complicated questions, but simple questions, this scale will never be a problem, if you lie I'm going to get you killed, it won't take a second of effort on my part. "

Miao Feichi, staring coldly, wrapped the knife around Mu Ke's neck: "First question, did you really stab Bai Liu as you claimed?"

"Yes." Mu Ke had to raise his head as he was outmatched by the knife, his voice trembling, "It was I myself who cut his neck with, with the fish bone in his hand!"

Mu Ke held up the bloodstained white fish bone to show Miao Feichi.

The scales shook a bit, dryly favoring [Makoto].

"Good, even if you knife him, Bai Liu this kind of like to play dirty tricks is not play not self knife countermeasures set, the next is the second question, you are not Bai Liu's accomplices ......"

Mu Ke's heart was in his throat, he looked at Miao Feichi nervously, he couldn't even exhale, his hand had gripped Siren's bone whip tightly.

Then Miao Feichi coldly uttered the next three words, "-- Mu Sicheng?"
