Chapter 90: Love Welfare Center

"So you're saying you kissed a mermaid with a silver-blue tail who lives in a jar, and a ghost in a mirror about to explode on a burning train?" Bai Liu Jr. tsked softly in an uncertain tone, "You sound like you have a slightly unusual emotional history."

Bai Liu was unimpressed, "They're all just characters in a game, but today you listened to me talk for so long without hanging up, what, you want to fight with me for the full three hours?"

"If I may? I do want to fight you for the full three hours." Bai Liu Jr. said faintly, "After all, it's a minute-by-minute rate, and with everyone running to get that deformed kid's attention on a rare occasion today, I'm the only one who's managed to call and inform his investors of what's going to happen tomorrow so far, Mu Ke."

"But that little blind girl named Liu Jiayi is fast too, she keeps to the wall even though she can't see, and I just covered her for a bit to lure away the deformed kid on her side, so she should be able to get back from her phone call soon."

"The other two kids were running pretty fast, I think their names were Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, and they called but they kept crying and didn't make it clear to the people across the street that they're going to invite the investors to come and watch the ceremony tomorrow."

Little Bai Liu while running and Bai Liu quickly accounted for the situation, voice with some gasping, but the explanation is still very clear: "And you can rest assured, I'm more vigilant, in I do not know you and the two children's investors have a grudge, Mu Ke and I ran with the intention of avoiding them, have not been found by them we are calling together, and may also be because they are running to attract the attention of the monster, tonight our other three people to call so easy. were on the phone together, and it's probably also because they were running around attracting the monsters' attention, that it was so easy for the other three of us to make the call tonight."

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, there is more than one deformed child tonight." Little Bai Liu added in a calm tone, "There are three, different deformities, and it's not the one from last night, one is crouching and crawling on all fours, with purple lips, one has deformed limbs, all of which are inwardly folded and growing, and his feet will inwardly inflect and limp when running, and his limbs are in a very strange proportion to the head of his body, and there's another one whose hair and skin are abnormally white, and just now I hid on the slide and didn't see it very clearly, but this child's eyes but are supposed to be purple. on the slide to see a little, did not see very clearly, but this child's eyes but should be purple."

Bai Liu, who has spent time in an orphanage and is still familiar with some of the common deformities, mused, "It sounds and feels a bit like prehensile heart, osteogenesis imperfecta, and albinism."

All are congenital genetic diseases and largely overlap with the diseases of the five children who survived in the real world.

Bai Liu quickly spotted two peculiar points.

First: while it is true that disabled children in orphanages are overrepresented, the fact that those who die and those who survive are children with certain specific congenital genetic diseases is already a very special point, and what does this special point mean?

Second: Why do deformed children in the real world survive, while deformed children in this world have become ghosts?

On the first point Bai Liu needs more information to reason out the explanation, but on the second point Bai Liu feels that he has arrived at the answer.

Bai Liu seemed to be enlightened and played with the broken coin on his chest with his fingers, and fell into a deep thought--

--According to the information this copy has given so far, normal children, that is, those without deformities, were attracted to the sound of the flute and disappeared, and have not appeared since their disappearance, while the manner of death for these deformed children is currently unknown, and it is indeed possible for them to turn into monsters and come out to roam around and play after death.

But it's not like it won't die.

From the "Love Welfare Home" this game copy of the current Bai Liu know the rules, these six reality has congenital defects in the child, including Liu Jiayi, should be as "Love Welfare Home" projected to the reality of the copy of the [deformed child] such npc like the existence of the "Love Welfare Home" in the deformed child npc all died, then corresponding back, the six In reality, the six children who haven't had any accidents yet are likely to die in order to fulfill the law of this copy.

However, the six children are currently under Lu Yizhan's strict guardianship in reality, and the likelihood of them dying is very low. Instead, the only one who may die and be alienated into a monster is the dangerous Liu Jiayi, who has entered the game.

But judging from the system's usual planning - in order to conform to the game logic of the copy - these children in reality will most likely still have to die.

The question then becomes if they were to die, how would they die?

"So there's a good chance that the deformed kids whose reality survived will eventually die, but they were alive when I entered the game, so if they died, what manner of death would it be due to ......"

Bai Liu leaned against the wall and muttered to himself.

The game can not be loaded out of the routine, forced to load the [npc death] data, the [real world] will most likely be a bug, will be [Lu Yizhan] on this case to observe the close npc notice that the wrong, of course, the system can use rogue means to delete all the attention to this matter of the npc's memory data, but the [player's] memories can not be deleted, Bai Liu will know that the place has a bug, but if so the official version of the [real world] for many [players] will lose significance. There is a bug in the place, but if this is the case the official version of the [real world] will lose its meaning for many [players].

So the question is, how should these six kids die in a way that is logical to the game and the world and not considered a force-loaded bug?

Bai Liu suddenly remembered the pile of corpses he saw at the hospital that day, and what Lu Yizhan said to him with a grave look on his face:

[The group of kids entered the hospital with basically normal signs, but a day later suddenly started having seizures ...... Both the necrotic spots and the necrotic stiffness appeared so early that it felt like early death was delayed until it appeared later ......]

Yeah, that's the point. Delayed death.

Bai Liu suddenly thought of this point - this is the most reasonable, in line with the reality of the routine and will not cause npc suspicion of the death of the way to load.

It's not that these six kids don't have poisonous mushroom poisoning, it's more likely that they're more resistant to mushrooms than the other kids, and that the signs of poisoning are delayed until later, so just because these kids haven't shown any signs as of the time Bai Liu enters the game doesn't mean that they won't show signs of poisoning.

Or they were in the process of dying, but medical tests were ineffective on them, so no one had found out about it yet, except for Bai Liu, who was in the game.

The discovery that these six deformed children who came back from the dead are still shrouded in the shadow of death.

Bai Liu's eyes narrowed - and if the real world copy was a load-in for the game copy, would these kids in and out of the game die in the same way?

Bai Liu Jr. doesn't disturb Bai Liu's silence, he quietly waits for Bai Liu's next inquiry and doesn't hang up - after all, he's paid by the minute.

Bai Liu suddenly asked him after a moment of silence, "Have you had mushrooms at the orphanage today lately?"

"No." Bai Liu Jr. put it succinctly, "I'm fairly sensitive to mushroom flavors, and I don't think I've ever eaten food without putting any bits of mushrooms in it."

"Did those deformed kids running after you guys smell like mushrooms?" Bai Liu asked again in a different vein.

Bai Liu Jr. answered quickly, "I don't know, we were always far away from them, not close enough to smell them, do you need me to get closer to confirm? Not for free of course."

"No, not yet." Bai Liu quickly vetoes Bai Liu Jr.'s overly bold proposal, "These kids aren't moving too slow, and if there are no others to divert their attention and you get too close, you could easily be caught."

Moreover, according to the description of these [deformed children] in the monster book, once the player's children are caught, they are completely disappeared, Bai Liu's life value is only 6 now, what he said to little Bai Liu is not a lie - compared to himself, the little Bai Liu who still has enough life value is indeed much more important. Bai Liu is indeed much more important than he is, and Bai Liu will now do everything he can to ensure the safety of this overly money-hungry little friend.

"But you do need me close right?" Bai Liu Jr.'s tone was calm.

"Right." Bai Liu was honest, "I don't just need you to get close, I need you to find the weaknesses of these freaky kids."

He needs to unlock the weaknesses of these monsters in the monster book, relying on the weaknesses to control these deformed children who come out to roam every night, which is much safer than letting them chase their own children every night, after all, this deformed child's disappearance attack Bai Liu think than the plant patient's blood-sucking attack is even more unknown horrors, so to speak, it can be said to be a one-hit-kill.

No children have gone missing yet, most likely just because there are so many of these deformed kids targeting too many and spreading out that once they are locked up, then it's easy to grab them.

And what also strikes Bai Liu as dangerous is that last night it was one, tonight it's three, and the number of these deformed children seems to be increasing.

"I do need you to get close to these kids to help me figure out their weaknesses, it's important to me, and of course I'll pay you for it." Bai Liu said softly, "But not tonight, little friend, it's too dangerous tonight for me to sacrifice you for such a thing, we'll do this tomorrow night after I find a way to protect you."

The opposite side is strangely silent, after about a minute, Bai Liu as if he had not heard anything quickly digresses: "Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang into the house, those three children to chase me, Mr. Investor, tonight's call totaled thirty-one minutes, give you wipe zero thirty minutes, a total of three thousand dollars, you You already owe me six thousand dollars."

Bai Liu Jr.'s tone was polite yet aggressive, "It's a bad habit to owe wages to underage escorts, I hope you can settle this six thousand dollars for me when we meet tomorrow, thank you for your patronage, have a good evening, Mr. Investor."

According to yesterday's path, by this time Bai Liu Jr. would have simply hung up a bit, but today he didn't hang up after he finished.

Bai Liu could hear the sound of his breathing as he ran on the open ground, and behind him the cheeky laughter of the children chasing him, and the gasps and cries that little Mu Ke tried his best to suppress, the sound of running footsteps gradually changed from rapid to slow, and the texture of the sound of them stepping on the ground changed from the feeling of sandy sandy soil to the sound of the hard tread of concrete ground, and the creepy laughter of the children behind them gradually drifted away --They should be going back to their rooms.

Little Mu Ke was running after Little Bai Liu with great effort. This little guy had been pulled by Little Bai Liu all night and his face was purple because of his bad heart, but he was still running with great effort and clenched his teeth and didn't cry and didn't stop, he seemed to know that it was for his own good that Little Bai Liu was pulling him.

Because Mu Ke Jr. knew that if Bai Liu Jr. hadn't pulled him along, he wouldn't have made it through the phone call to his investors tonight.

If there is no way to notify the investor, he won't be able to attend the baptism tomorrow, which is a serious matter for children entering the institution, and they may be punished for it.

And tonight, if it wasn't for Little Bai Liu's investor saying that he wanted Little Bai Liu to help take care of him, Little Bai Liu, a seemingly indifferent kid like Little Mu Ke, would not have cared about Little Mu Ke's death.

Little Mu Ke stole a glance at the phone on Little Bai Liu's hand, but why would this kind Mr. Investor want Little Bai Liu to help him?

And why doesn't Bai Liu hang up the phone now? Already going to run into the room where they sleep, will be scolded by the teacher after seeing.

"Is there something else you want to say?" Bai Liu had the good sense to make a start, "You are going back to your room, aren't you? Why don't you hang up? Do you want to earn more money from me?"

"...... These few minutes don't count for you." Little Bai Liu breath has not yet passed evenly clean, the tone of his voice has a kind of inexplicable low, he seems to cover up something generally said quickly, "tonight you said two horror game is very good, can be credited."

Bai Liu raises an eyebrow in surprise, "Being so nice to me tonight? Wiping out and offsetting again..."

"Doo doo doo doo--"

The opposite party hung up without hesitation.

Bai Liu: "......"

It was clearly meant to compliment him on how well he played the game, was he this chic persona when he was fourteen?

Wow, that's disgusting.

Bai Liu put away the phone, and his eyes suddenly narrowed as his gaze fell on the overly damp bed of straw.

Tonight he had been smelling a rotting plant odor if anything on that patient, he had been too focused on confronting Miao Feichi and the others to screen what kind of plant it was, just a humusy plant smell, much like rotting straw, but there was also some other kind of plant smell that was hiding underneath the strong straw smell.

Bai Liu touched the neck where he had been bitten, where the oral mucus of the plant patient still remained, Bai Liu scraped a bit off with his fingertips and placed it in his nostrils for a delicate sniff -- the smell of his blood, the smell of damp, rotting straw, and underneath the straw smell there was a very light... ...

Bai Liu calmly put his finger in his mouth.

--There's also a very light mushroom flavor in the slime.

You can't smell it too well, but you can taste it.

Instead of children eating mushrooms here, it's the sick who are eating mushrooms?

The only thing the patients in the ICU eat is the [medication] that that nurse sends into each room.

But [the drug] is obviously not a mushroom, because [the drug] is a liquid, and although it is not ruled out that this liquid contains mushrooms, Bai Liu feels that another scenario is more likely than this possibility.

Bai Liu's eyes settled on the bed of straw in front of him.

He went up and circled around this straw bed, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt a very strange sense of vestigial vision; this thing did look like a bed, but such dim lighting, 24-hour uninterrupted water vapor, and thick, overly thick and beginning to moldy straw-all these conditions added up to make Bai Liu feel that this place was is more like a standard mushroom culture room than a bed, and this straw bed is the mushroom culture medium.

Bai Liu's hand lifted the white sheet, revealing a large area of yellowish straw, casually flicked twice to see the roots attached to the rotting straw is sprouting mushrooms, but these mushrooms Bai Liu have seen, some edible some inedible, but generally are common varieties, eaten can not prolong life, and some are poisonous, will be instantly killed.... Some of them are poisonous and can kill you instantly - Bai Liu's orphanage also had a child who was almost not saved after eating them by mistake.

Bai Liu's fingers rummage through the mushrooms sprouting from the straw, and after confirming that the ones growing on the bed are some common varieties, he ponders.

The patients were not supposed to be eating the mushrooms Bai Liu saw - so what exactly were the mushrooms the patients were eating?

Bai Liu's eyes fell on the straw bed, when he was in the ICU, because the plant patient had been lying on the hospital bed, motionless like a vegetable, and Bai Liu's life value was not high, so Bai Liu did not go alone to disturb the patient, looking for confirmation that the mushrooms growing under the straw bed he was sleeping on were not also the ones that grew on their beds, a very common species of mushrooms. The species of the mushrooms are very common in their beds.

Now it seems likely that everyone's [medium], i.e., beds don't grow the same mushrooms.

But the crux of the matter is why are these different? And what variety of mushrooms are growing?

Bai Liu felt that the answer to everything was hidden in the [Life Renewal Formula] that the system had mentioned.

"Mu Ke." Bai Liu muttered to himself as if with a low sigh, "Now it's up to you to find out, overnight, what the [Life Renewal Remedy] that these patients are eating really is."

------

ICU ward.

Mu Ke crawled out from underneath the messy hospital bed with a dying breath and stood up, holding onto the bed and gasping for air.

He was still a little dizzy from standing up, and within a few steps he was gasping for air and sitting down on the hospital bed again.

Mu Ke sat down on the bed where Bai Liu had been before, and he collapsed in a state of exhaustion, burying his head in the quilt that retained Bai Liu's scent, like an unfledged chick burying its head under its mother's wing, a search for security.

The residual fear of returning from the dead had left his hands and feet shaking terribly, and although Mu Ke had just hid under the hospital bed and drank a few bottles of mental value bleach to get his mental value back up to full strength, and basically his sanity had returned, Mu Ke's life value was overdrawn too much, and this had led to him being in a very poor state of health.

He'd had so much blood sucked out of him that he'd fallen into a state of cold and near-shock from the loss of blood, and his arms and legs were shaking as if they were twitching constantly.

Mu Ke gritted his teeth and curled up in the quilt that smelled like Bai Liu shaking his left hand to press down his right hand, trying to recover as soon as possible, his eyes were red, he really thought he was going to die when that monster kept sucking blood earlier, by the end Mu Ke was bleary eyed, the veins on the back of his hand were deflated.

But he had to be sucked in to this extent so that he and Bai Liu would present themselves in a similar state, and Bai Liu would be able to successfully fake his way into Miao Feichi's team.

Mu Ke closed his eyes as he recalled the plan Bai Liu had explained to him earlier, it would distract him and make him feel better.

Bai Liu's plan is very simple yet bold: a game of paper cups and oranges.

It is a tangerine hidden in one of the three paper cups, and then rotate the paper cups to let each other guess which paper cups are hidden tangerine, investors exactly the same shell is the three paper cups, and paper cups under the Bai Liu, is Miao Feichi they want to guess the tangerine.

But this simple plan has a lot of complications that need to be addressed.

First the first, Mu Ke's eyes fall on the three paper cups of varying sizes that Bai Liu has placed on the table, and he frowns, "You don't have the exact same appearance as that patient in the ward, he was more slender than you."

"Yes, that's right, and it's not just that, Miao Feichi's father and son are S-rank players, they can completely disobey the rules of our game." Bai Liu quickly rotated the three paper cups in his hands, his tone was unhurried, "They have the ability to just get all three of these paper cups pinched and deflated, and then check underneath the paper cups to see who's the orange they want - that's me."

Bai Liu said as he calmly deflated three paper cups of different sizes in his hand, revealing the oranges underneath that had been pinched and popped, and then threw the cups into the trash can as if nothing had happened.

Mu Ke swallowed slowly, "...... What about that?"

"So the first step, we have to make them think that these three paper cups, they don't have the ability to easily pinch and deflate, before they will follow the rules of this game." Bai Liu tapped one of the paper cups with his finger and wrote an A+ on it, "I will disguise myself as a monster with A+ ability and pretend to be three monsters at the same time, the nurses here only have fifteen minutes for their shift, even if they are players with S- rank panels, facing three A+ level monsters at the same time, I think they will be more inclined to kill one of them. "

"But there's only one of you, how do you fake three ...... at once" Mu Ke's unfinished words came to an abrupt end.

Bai Liu rotated the paper cups in front of him so fast with a dazzling speed that only remnants could be seen for a moment, and the one with A+ written on it seemed as if all three cups had this A+ marking at the same time because of the remnants, Bai Liu smiled and raised his eyes, "By shifting speed."

"As for what you said about appearance, the patient here is the sicker and slimmer he is, and for us players, there are two indicators to measure [the sicker and slimmer]." Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked straight at Mu Ke, "One of these two indicators is the life value and the other is the spirit value, and from objective logic, we only need to adjust the life value and spirit value downwards to about the same as this monster."

"The downward adjustment of the life value is simple, and for the mental value, just utilize this patient monster."

Mu Ke pursed his lips, his opposition to this plan was clearly visible on his face, and soon he spoke up again in disapproval, "Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang are two old players, it's hard to fool them with a simple trick like this, and even if I'm not a veteran player, games like Orange Paper Cup are something I can easily recognize by memory That paper cup is correct, but if we downgrade the life value and spirit value to this sick and heavy this point, if the opponent once recognized ......"

"You're going to die, Bai Liu." Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu with eyes that even took on a bit of begging, "You're really going to die."

"Mu Ke, the point of this plan is not my death, I'm just fifty percent of my life value." Bai Liu said to Mu Ke in a tone so calm that it bordered on cruel, "The point of this plan is for you to be able to stay safely in the icu all night to find out the cure to renew your life."

"After you have the [Life Renewal Formula] chip in your hand, the mission of your main identity line is completed, and the mission of the secondary identity line, that is, the mission on the children's side, Little Bai Liu is the fastest to be completed at the moment, you just need to use the money to dangle him to help you do your job, and he will cooperate with you, so that you can grab and run for a clearance, and if I die, you'll take the other fifty percent of my life value to pass, understand?"

Mu Ke Hyun sobbed and shook her head frantically, "I can't do it! I really can't do it!"

"If we can't do it, we'll die together, Mu Ke." Bai Liu looked straight at Mu Ke very superficially, and he even had a very disinterested smirk on his face as he said this.

Bai Liu wasn't threatening Mu Ke, he was just calmly stating the fact that if Mu Ke couldn't do it, they would probably die together in this place.

Mu Ke by Bai Liu smile made a cold war, he lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly as if he was struggling with himself, did not say anything, after a long time he lifted up his eyes full of tears and looked at Bai Liu: "I, I will try my best to try ......"

Bai Liu slowed down his tone as he patted Mu Ke's shoulder, "But I'm dead this is indeed the worst kind of scenario, so we have to prevent it from happening, a simple orange paper cup game is indeed easy to reveal in front of veteran players, the kind of people like my hairdresser who have played it a dozen times can already guess it a hundred percent, so we are preparing more than a simple orange paper cup game for them."

Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu tearfully, "Not a simple game of orange paper cups?"

Bai Liu : "Yes, the orange game with the double paper cups is the same as the double identity line in this game."

"And we prepare the answers to the first round of the orange paper cup game for them." Bai Liu took six new, identical paper cups and put them on the table.

He lowered his head and casually took a marker from the drawer, wrote [Bai Liu] on a paper cup and [Mu Ke] on another paper cup, then calmly put the paper cup with [Bai Liu] on top of the paper cup with [Mu Ke].

Bai Liu put a paper cup with [Mu Ke] written on it over the paper cup with [Monster] written on it.

In the end, Bai Liu puts a paper cup with [Monster] written on it over a paper cup with [Bai Liu] written on it.

Mu Ke watches Bai Liu's maneuvers in confusion.

"This is the answer to the first round of the orange game." Bai Liu pointed to the words on the paper cups and explained them one by one to Mu Ke, "These three paper cups are Bai Liu, Mu Ke, and Monster, right? And then they must not believe it so easily, they will suspect my identity, so we have prepared the second round of answers."

Bai Liu lifted up the paper cup he had previously written on, revealing the layer of paper cups underneath, "This is the second layer of answers they see, and then-" Bai Liu began to rotate the paper cups in a fast ring with little emotion on his face, then stopped and raised his chin, asking Mu Ke with a smile, "Now guess where the orange that represents me is. chin, smiled and asked Mu Ke, "Now guess where the orange that represents me is?"

Convinced of his memory, Mu Ke placed his hand on the paper cup with [Mu Ke] written on it, "It's this one."

"Wrong guess." Bai Liu hooked the corner of his mouth as he opened three paper cups, "The oranges are under [Monster]'s paper cup."

"How?!" Mu Ke was surprised, "I clearly saw you put the orange under the paper cup with [Mu Ke] written on the second level."

"People are really animals that can be deceived by the instant information they get, you didn't remember correctly, but I cheated." Bai Liu lowered his eyes, he smiled meaningfully, his hand slowly opened [Bai Liu] the paper cup, in Mu Ke's shocked gaze, Bai Liu's pinky and forefinger gripped the edge of the paper cup and gently tugged on it, he split the two paper cups into three.

Bai Liu lifted his eyelids, lazily laughed: "A rough hand trick just, you actually remembered and guessed right, but I cheated - I belong to [Bai Liu] this identity paper cup, put three paper cups, you see only the second paper cup, but actually There are three paper cups on this cup, so I, as far as [Orange] is concerned, am actually hiding under the third paper cup identity."

Bai Liu picks up the orange: "In other words, at the end of this game of orange, I will also use other information to put a shell over my own identity as a third layer [paper cup] to protect myself as well as to confuse the veteran players, the father and son duo of Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang."

"And they will never doubt that they are getting this information." Bai Liu peels the orange under the paper cup in half and hands it to Mu Ke.

Bai Liu smirked, "Because the other half of the oranges called them with this information, Mu Ke, eat oranges?"

Mu Ke a little stagnant shook his head, refused Bai Liu handed over the orange, he has been Bai Liu these operations look silly, still a little understanding, Mu Ke refused after Bai Liu indifferent shrugged shoulders, peeled the orange bite into the mouth.

The moment he bit down, Bai Liu's face twisted slightly, and with a wooden face he slowly spat the orange into the paper cup with [Bai Liu] written in black marker, "...... Tsk, this hospital's oranges are so sour."

And the most successful paper-cup identity-swap model of this plan is - the monster patient dies as [Bai Liu], and Mu Ke stays safely in the ICU ward for the night as [the monster patient].

Bai Liu, the orange, stayed under the watchful eye of the most dangerous father and son, Miao Feichi, as [Mu Ke].

In order to accomplish this, Bai Liu made more than two layers of [identity paper cups] for all three people, or rather for all three [monsters]

After Bai Liu's first round of [Swap Paper Cups], he gives Miao Gaojiang a simple answer to each monster's corresponding identity - the monster killed is [Bai Liu], the monster hidden under the hospital bed is the real monster, and the monster he took away is [Mu Ke].

But Miao Gaojiang certainly didn't believe the obvious answer Bai Liu gave him.

So Bai Liu prepared for Miao Gaojiang, and the second round of [Paper Cup Orange Game] began.

In the second mess of the [Paper Cup Orange Game], Bai Liu very boldly bets that the second round of the [Interchange Paper Cups] link is given to Miao Gaojiang, and he and Mu Ke just use all kinds of ways to imply that the Miao family father and son's own identity anomalies, for example, Mu Ke obviously helps Bai Liu and so on, Bai Liu helps the patient, and so on abnormal behavior. He and Mu Ke just hinted in various ways that the identity of Miao family father and son was abnormal, such as Mu Ke obviously helping Bai Liu, Bai Liu helping patients, and so on, which aroused Miao Gaojiang's suspicion, and made him change the [identity cup labels] on the three monsters in his mind, so that in the end, it was as if Miao Gaojiang trusted his own Mu Ke in his own memories so much that he would make the same mistakes as Mu Ke did.

Overly trusting her own experience and conclusions from the information she received, Miao Gaojiang suspected Bai Liu of hiding the orange under the [Mu Ke] paper cup, thus triggering the third layer of the [Identity Paper Cup] prepared by Bai Liu - one that Bai Liu had prepared long ago, a self-incriminating phone call from Little Mu Ke. A self-incriminating phone call from Mu Ke Jr.

Mu Ke gasped and looked up at the time - it was currently 9:30, and all the nurses had begun their patrols, but Mu Ke hadn't heard anything about any patient deaths or any sounds of fighting, so there was a high probability that Bai Liu's layer of protective information from that [Last Layer of Paper Cups] was working.

He lay back on the bed, his eyes lost from overstimulation, and let out a long, unconscious breath.

During the execution of the whole plan, Mu Ke was responsible for the part of introducing the Miao family father and son into the ICU, being psychologically alienated and having his life value reduced to the same level as the monster patient's appearance, as well as staying conscious enough to cooperate with Bai Liu's plan after the psychic alienation, and finally and most importantly, staying perfectly safe in the dead monster's ICU for a whole night. The final and most important part is that he can stay perfectly safe in the dead monster's intensive care unit for the whole night and find out the prescription for renewal of life hidden in the bookcase according to Bai Liu's instructions.

And all the rest of the dangerous parts of the program - all of them are Bai Liu's responsibility.

Mu Ke closed his eyes, his heartbeat hadn't completely calmed down yet, and as he pressed down on his chest, he could feel the fragile heart thumping in his chest with unparalleled intensity - out of fear, out of afterthought.

-- because the program nearly flipped several times during the course of the program.

Miao Feichi didn't even follow Mu Ke's initial plan, Miao Feichi was trying to kill all the monsters out of his panel attributes and high force value, and almost did it, if not for the fact that Bai Liu was relying on his skills and props to hold Miao Feichi up for 10 minutes, Miao Feichi might have been able to achieve the triple kill achievement in the ICU, and Mu Ke is definitely die right now. If it wasn't for Bai Liu's ten minutes of support with skills and props, Miao Feichi might have been able to achieve three kills in the ICU, and Mu Ke would have definitely died by now.

After calming his heartbeat, Mu Ke breathed a sigh of relief as he hunkered down on the bed for a moment to slow down, barely adjusting to this physical state he was in, before gritting his teeth and staggering to his feet and beginning to straighten up the messy hospital room on the floor.

Time was running out, and he had to hurry up and do the quest.
