Chapter 99: Love Welfare Center

After little Bai Liu was baptized, after a few children, it was Liu Huai's turn to come forward to baptize Liu Jiayi.

Liu Huai's action of baptizing Liu Jiayi was very gentle, Liu Huai didn't bother to let Liu Jiayi stay in the water for a long time, and quickly fished her out, Liu Jiayi was also very good, she also took the initiative to stretch out her hand and rolled up her clothes to let the man draw her blood, which was stopped by Liu Huai with some tears and laughter.

He finally dropped a cherished kiss on Liu Jiayi's forehead, refused the man's offer to take Liu Jiayi's blood, and silently returned to the investor's seat below in Liu Jiayi's somewhat perplexed expression.

Liu Huai was sitting far away from Bai Liu and the others, sitting at the back, he didn't hear Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang talking about how they were going to do something to Liu Jiayi, but he could probably guess what the two veteran players were going to do, Liu Huai looked tense, and gave Bai Liu a long look.

"That's all for today's baptism, please go to the orphanage's cafeteria to eat and rest for a while." The director greeted them with a smile like the opening of a shopping mall.

"In the afternoon our baptized children will present you with pure song - a choral performance to celebrate our encounter, in front of the church, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. Please be on time to hear the singing."

Bai Liu looked down at the time, it was now eleven forty.

--------

Mu Ke's eyes snapped open as he lay on his bed of straw, and he quickly got up and glanced at the time-it was forty past eleven, and he had slept since Bai Liu had left!

Mu Ke gritted his teeth a little in annoyance, he really did feel like he was wasting his time - he wouldn't be able to memorize the contents of an archive room in half a day, and there was no telling when Miao Feichi would be back, and the sooner he could mingle into the archive room to go in and memorize things the better.

But the effect of Bai Liu's efforts to get him to sleep was obvious - Mu Ke was in much better spirits.

Completely relaxed from the morning's safe and uneventful sleep, Mu Ke went down to the first floor, and sure enough most of the patients and nurses were now eating in the cafeteria on the first floor.

The patients who had not come out to dine were those who had been given their medicines by the nurse in the morning, and were now in rooms with the doors closed, and Mu Ke, as he passed by, was close enough to hear that creaking, vaguely masticatory sound coming from the rooms of these patients.

It reminded Mu Ke of the sound the monster patient had made the other night when he had gorged himself on the blood reishi.

Mu Ke silently moved away from the door, remembering the layout of the entire first floor - the case file room was behind the nurse's duty room, and the only way to blend in was when the nurse's duty room was empty - like now, or at the point of the morning and evening shifts.

Mu Ke glanced around to make sure no one was there, then took a deep breath and scurried into the case file room, only to let out a cold breath as soon as he entered.

"Good ......" Mu Ke froze and looked at the dusty file folder with a bit of tearfulness, "So much! Why is there so much! More books than yesterday!"

He had the feeling of scrambling to review his homework and desperately memorize things on the eve of an exam again after a long time.

Mu Ke slapped his face as he calmed down and pulled out a file, opened it and began to memorize, "Name, Wang Guo Qiang, donated one million and seven hundred thousand dollars to The Welfare House of Love in the year 200X, and the child with whom he [married] is ......"

--------

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The children standing at the front of the church pushed and shoved in a pile, while the investors sat on the seats the children had placed on the grass, and the dean gave them the program for the investors - all the children in this orphanage were to perform for them in groups, all choral programs, some with more than one song, and a group photo afterward, and that's why it lasted four hours.

Bai Liu is no stranger to this kind of effort to please [investors] - his orphanage will lead a group of children to put on a show when leaders come to visit, and all the teachers are racking their brains to make these children act and perform like they like the visiting leaders, so much so that they want to sing from the beginning to the end to these leaders! They would sing to the leaders from the beginning to the end, because the teachers said that singing was better than speaking.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this practice, it is a means to make more money for the orphanage, but generally speaking the benefits are not available to Bai Liu, so he usually feels like a monkey in a circus who has been led out to do acrobatics, and who does not get paid.

But Bai Liu didn't realize that he himself would have a day when the children in the orphanage would sing to please him, which was a novel experience.

Bai Liu flips through the program that sits in his lap - the song "Happy Day," presented by the newly baptized children.

Little Bai Liu stood in the corner, he had changed his clothes, his face was painted with very gaudy make-up, his face was red, with a red dot on his forehead, the end of his hair was still dripping from being washed, and he stood in the back row with a somewhat lazy and unconcerned gaze casually humming a song, obviously being lazy:

"Happy day, happy day, the gods save me and make me joyful.

The blood of the atonement washes away my sins, and the living water of life quenches my thirst.

Happy day, happy day, God save me and make me joyful."

It's so obvious that the song is pleasing - it's a happy day for this group [of investors], not this group of little kids.

After listening to the song for a while, Bai Liu soon became disinterested, and Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, who were sitting in front of him, simply dozed off with their chests clasped together, but Miao Feichi still had his knife in his hand, and Miao Gaojiang wasn't completely asleep, and both veteran players still maintained a basic level of vigilance, but it was certainly a long and tedious show.

Except for Liu Huai sitting in the back row who couldn't take his eyes off Liu Jiayi, he didn't take his eyes off Liu Jiayi for a single second, with a sad feeling that one look is less than one look.

Four hours Miao Feichi has already complained several times about how it's so long, and can we just start slaughtering kids.

But for Liu Huai, these four hours were too short, he looked up at Liu Jiayi, who had a small red dot on his forehead and was gently rocking his body and singing, and suddenly looked down and wiped his eyes for a moment, but soon he raised his head again, Liu Huai didn't want to waste a single second of his time looking at Liu Jiayi.

But perhaps Liu Jiayi will never know that Liu Huai has seen her in this way, that she is still blind.

After Bai Liu and the others finished singing, according to the program, their next program was still fifteen minutes away from starting, Bai Liu got up and walked around the seats towards the preparation church, watching Miao Gaojiang, who was sleeping, open his eyes in an instant, and squinted at Bai Liu: "What are you going to do? It's just the beginning of the song."

"Go find my kid and see if you can teach him to escape." Bai Liu said.

Miao Feichi snorted imploringly, "Eh, you just let him go, people's only chance to pass."

Miao Gaojiang hesitated for a few moments, and finally let Bai Liu go, this is right in front of the church, Bai Liu even if he wanted to sneak up on the kids they were looking at in advance, because this church prohibits the slaughter of children, which is why they haven't even made a move yet.

Of course Miao Feichi's still-unrecovered stamina tank is another reason why they haven't done anything yet.

Bai Liu nodded to Miao Feichi and left for the church where the children had retreated. Miao Gaojiang looked at Bai Liu's back, his eyes dark and gloomy: "I always feel that this Mu Ke is not right."

"You're getting a bit annoying dad." Miao Feichi was sticking to the seat like a lazy bone, he looked sideways to Miao Gaojiang, "You've looked at the panel, you've looked at the phone, this Mu Ke is definitely an ordinary player, the panel doesn't have more than B, the number of times he's played the game is only twice, he's just a pure newbie, he's supposed to be unlucky to come in and be controlled by Bai Liu. He was controlled by Bai Liu when he was unlucky enough to come in, and when we killed Bai Liu, he just happened to be released from the control, so tell me, what's wrong with him?"

"He has a broken keyboard in his props bar." Miao Gaojiang had low brow bones, which caused his eyes and eyebrows to come together when he frowned, giving him a sinister, hostile look, "I remember the keycaps that fell off that broken keyboard when I saw it twice when I inspected his system storage."

When Miao Feichi heard Miao Gaojiang say this, he also sat up straight with his chair.

Miao Gaojiang is very meticulous, he can always notice some details that ordinary people can not notice, and he is also good at suspecting details and exploiting details, and Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang have worked together for so long that he knows that such suspicion of Miao Gaojiang is usually not for no reason.

Miao Feichi was reminded by Miao Gaojiang and asked back with a raised eyebrow, "Father you mean that someone is communicating with Mu Ke through the keyboard, do you remember what keycaps fell off Mu Ke's keyboard?"

Miao Gaojiang frowned deeper and deeper: "The problem is here, I'm not familiar with the layout of the keyboard, I can only realize that the keyboard empty position has changed, but exactly what position, corresponding to what keycaps, because I also just swept a glance, in fact, I don't quite remember very clearly."

"Typically, the system backpack can only be inspected by yourself, Mu Ke is with us all the time, it's unlikely that we'd hand the keyboard to someone and then get it back, and it's just too risky a way to communicate."

Miao Gaojiang spoke in a hushed tone, "I think it's more likely that someone shared a system backpack with him, and if someone has the skills to share a system backpack with Mu Ke, then this method of communication is workable and extremely stealthy."

Miao Feichi sulked for a moment, there was only one player on the field whose personal skills they were not aware of.

"You mean Bai Liu isn't dead? He has more personal skills than just control, but also this shared system warehouse backpack?" Miao Feichi's expression also seeped up, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit, "Mu Ke is the chess piece he played into our side? He's still communicating with Bai Liu on the keyboard?"

"But that's just my guess."

Miao Gaojiang looked again at Miao Feichi who already had a fierce look and murderous aura on his face, "Mu Ke a C-rank panel player, you can kill it whenever it's too late, it's best not to act impulsively because you're in the season of support now, killing an ordinary player who has defected to you hastily won't be good for your reputation, it'll affect your support rate, and There's also a very important point-"

"The skill of sharing a system backpack is already in the realm of [Rule Skill], which requires violating the system's rights in order to do so."

Miao Gaojiang propped his hands on his knees, deep in thought, "Currently there are only a few people in the game whose personal skills are [Rule Skills], I don't think it's very likely that Bai Liu's personal skill is a [Rule Skill], because if he really has a [Rule Skill] this kind of bug level personal skill, he can be like the Queen of Heart and directly rely on skills to clamp down on us. directly rely on skills to clamp down on us, Bai Liu doesn't need to be so passive."

"But we can't completely rule it out, after all, Bai Liu is a newcomer and it's possible that he can't use his individual skills well, so we'll see."

Miao Gaojiang looked at the church where Bai Liu went in, his eyes shady: "When you recover and he reveals his cloven foot, it's not too late to kill him."

At this moment, Bai Liu came to the backstage, little Mu Ke and little Bai Liu were sitting face to face, wiping the traces of make-up on their faces with paper towels dipped in water, when Bai Liu came in, little Mu Ke was still vigilant and fearful, he didn't recognize that this was the same Bai Liu who had christened him before.

On the contrary, little Bai Liu swept him a glance without changing color, stood up and said softly, "This is not a good place to talk, let's go somewhere else."

Little Mu Ke instantly realized that this was Little Bai Liu, the [investor] who had baptized him, and he nodded his head slightly awkwardly to say hello, and then Little Bai Liu took Bai Liu's hand and took him away.

Little Bai Liu took Bai Liu to the overgrown grove behind the church, Bai Liu leaned against the wall and looked down at the little Bai Liu standing in front of him, still obsessively rubbing blush on his face, the little kid rubbing hard and seriously, he didn't seem to like the smell of the makeup, frowning and distorting his features.

Bai Liu naturally took the soaked toilet paper in little Bai Liu's hand and squatted down to wipe him up very carefully.

"You can't wipe it off like that." Bai Liu used a bit of toilet paper and repeatedly pressed it to the center of Bai Liu's eyebrow, "Lipstick will be rubbed all over your forehead if you rub it like that."

Little Bai Liu's expressionless face was held down by Bai Liu's shoulder and wiped her forehead, "You know how to use lipstick, do you use it often?"

Bai Liu pretended not to hear the sarcasm implied in the little friend's words, "I've been made up like this before, for much the same occasion as you, and you're mad because I didn't christen you and that led to you being punished by the dean?"

"Not really angry, just feeling like I've been played." Bai Liu Jr. looks at Bai Liu, lips pursed for a moment, eyes raised to Bai Liu, "But because of that, you're going to have to give me-"

"-Okay, I know, extra money right? Okay, whatever you want to drive." Bai Liu leans forward and comes close to wipe the red lipstick stains that have been randomly rubbed into the ends of her eyes by little Bai Liu.

Bai Liu leaned in close, his breath spraying smoothly over little Bai Liu's skin, the tails of his eyes dropping down with the illusion that he was intently pampering someone, "Hold still, you've got a little bit more here, and you really aren't mad at the Dean for talking about you like that, the kid who's been abandoned by his parents and the gods and me, the investor?"

Bai Liu held his breath for a few seconds.

Quickly he darted a quick sideways glance away from Bai Liu, his tone calm, "I'm not angry, after all Dean wasn't wrong in a way."

"Also right." Bai Liu finished wiping and stood up, his body as an investor now was so slender that the perspective of standing up could almost be described as looking down on him as he looked at little Bai Liu, "It's true that the gods haven't favored you because you're a bad boy who has never believed in the gods."

Bai Liu looked up at him with [so what] written starkly in her eyes.

Yeah, he was just born a bad boy and just doesn't believe in God, so what the heck.

"Me too." Bai Liu laughs softly.

As if casually, he jokingly rubbed little Bai Liu's head, "Do you want to change your name, in case the gods favor you after you change your name? After I changed my name, my luck did get a little better, but of course it's still bad."

"Do the gods look at names to favor humans?" Little Bai Liu spat out expressionlessly, "Then the gods are too stupid ......"

Bai Liu unwrapped a pendant from around his neck, it was a coin wrapped in broken fish scales that he had held up in bandages, Bai Liu leaned over and hung the piece around little Bai Liu's neck, "This is all of my possessions, my skills, everything I have here, you could say it's the product of what I've gotten by selling my soul, the most expensive and cherished thing I can own. The most expensive and cherished thing I can have."

"Now I'm giving it to you, from now on you're me, you have my skills, money, and I'm sorry I just left you alone to be baptized."

[System Warning: Is player Bai Liu handing over the system to his secondary identity line? After the handover, the player will no longer be able to use any of the skill points in the panel, and with the npc characters in the game there is no doubt that the survival rate of the game will be drastically reduced]

Bai Liu: [OK]

Bai Liu closed his eyes and bent down to hug the somewhat dazed little Bai Liu, his slender, tall and thin to somewhat eerie body bent into a hunched arc, like an aged man embracing his loved one, he smiled, "But I think, from now on, I think you're kind of in the favor of the gods."

It was this strange investor who had appeared out of nowhere that favored the bad boy Bai Liu Jr., not some god who was wrapped up in a reverse cross and couldn't move.

If there was a god, it was himself.

Little Bai Liu was held in Bai Liu's arms, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out, just quietly accepted the hug.

Though he found the carnal physical contact a bit gross.

But his Mr. Investor was paid, so little Bai Liu decided to put up with this somewhat disgusting Mr. Investor.

"This coin given to you is very important, you must take good care of it." Bai Liu let go of little Bai Liu, "If you are killed, this coin will fall out and be picked up by someone else, that would be a very scary thing."

Bai Liu smiled and pointed a slender finger at the coin on little Bai Liu's chest, "Because my unseemly secrets and soul can be hidden inside."

"You just asked me that, do you want me to change my name?" Little Bai Liu gripped the coins on his chest and spoke abruptly, "First things first, I don't accept drastic changes, but as a reward for the money you have generously given me, I'm willing to satisfy your personal bad taste, Mr. Investor."

[Lu Yizhan, I can change my name, but I don't like to change it drastically, do you have any recommendations?]

Bai Liu's eyes paused as he whispered, "How's Bai Liu?"

"Bai Liu?" asked Bai Liu Jr. suspiciously in return, "Which one is white, which one is six, sounds the same as if it hadn't been changed."

Ten years ago, Lu Yizhan looked at Bai Liu with a curved eyebrow and said how about Bai Liu?

Bai Liu is a bit bemused and says that it sounds like it hasn't changed at all, so what's the point of changing it?

Lu Yizhan says it makes sense, it's a good name, both characters are good, Bai Liu asks what's good about it.

Lu Yizhan touched Bai Liu's head, he smiled a sunny and innocent smile and said, "Because it is the white of daytime, the willow of darkness, from now on, you will enter the daytime of darkness, Bai Liu, you will definitely be better in the future."

Ten years ago Bai Liu was quiet for a moment, "You're really boring, Lu Yizhan, playing such word games."

Bai Liu stroked little Bai Liu's head and smiled, just like Lu Yizhan used to smile, with a lush growth of innocence and confidence in his eyes that came from nowhere, and behind the church, with the clear chorus of children's voices and the refreshing scent of the wind wafting over the summer weeds, the strange [long, thin, ghostly] face in the eyes of little Bai Liu showed a very sincere, as if praying smile arc. Seems to be praying like the arc of a smile.

He whispered, "Your name is White as in Daylight, Willow as in Willow."

Bai Liu Jr. was quiet for a moment, he looked away, "Boring word game."

"So did you change it?" Bai Liu asked.

Little Bai Liu: "Change, you paid."

"You will be called Bai Liu from now on." Bai Liu paused for a moment and then said, "My deception will most likely be exposed and I will most likely die tonight at the hands of my rivals, you are my only hope, so I am entrusting everything to you, you must live, Bai Liu."

Bai Liu was well aware that he was facing two veteran players who had played in the league, Miao Feichi was slightly more impulsive, but Miao Gaojiang's vigilance was sufficient, which is why Bai Liu made [triple paper cups].

But [paper cups] are just paper cups after all, and paper can't hold fire.

On the premise that there would be a large player conflict in the future, Mu Ke could not stay in hiding, but once Mu Ke appeared, then the scenario that Bai Liu had previously prepared in which he and Mu Ke were replaced would most likely show a crack, revealing that he and Mu Ke were working together and had backstabbing ties.

And judging by Miao Gaojiang's attitude towards him today, it's more than likely that he's already noticed something amiss - like that keyboard in Mu Ke's backpack.

Bai Liu had anticipated this step when he formulated his plan, because the exposure of Mu Ke's panel was unavoidable, then the communication props in this system's backpack were also bound to be exposed to Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang's line of sight, which is why he chose to use the keyboard as a relatively unintuitive and attention-grabbing way to communicate.

By communicating with Mu Ke using keycaps, Bai Liu has already stepped into the knowledge gap that Miao Gaojiang, a middle-aged man with a high IQ, probably doesn't have enough knowledge about digital tools, but Miao Gaojiang can't have been unaware of it.

Miao Gaojiang checked Mu Ke's panel twice, and both times the gaps in the keycaps were different, as both were in the gap between one side waiting for the other to reply to a message - a gap that can't be avoided when two people are sharing props from the system's backpacks to communicate with each other.

Miao Gaojiang was probably already aware that the keycaps were changing, but due to his lack of knowledge, he couldn't clearly understand what he was communicating with Mu Ke even after he got his hands on the keyboard-which is one of the reasons why Bai Liu chose the keyboard as his communication prop. This is one of the reasons why Bai Liu chose the keyboard as a communication tool.

It is obvious that he is an unsettling factor for Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, who are about to engage in a looting battle. This kind of unsettling factor is very fatal in a level 2 game that eats up life value, and in order to ensure a successful passage, the safer thing to do is of course to do away with him, so Bai Liu speculates that his own demise should be very close to the end.

Before that, Bai Liu felt the need to hand over the most valuable thing in himself to Bai Liu Jr.

Also known as this hollowed out in the center, broken coin shaped game manager.

----------

Bai Liu teaches Bai Liu Jr. the specifics of the game manager and the use of his personal skills. The kid is a bit confused at first, but quickly gets the hang of it, accepting the fact that his reality is a multiplayer mega-game rather quickly, and without needing Bai Liu's elaboration at all, the kid soon begins to navigate the system store on his own.

Before Bai Liu left, Bai Liu Jr. looked at Bai Liu and asked, "You told me the exact process of those two games before just so that you can get me quickly acclimated to this so-called game manager now, right?"

"It's not even a game shared between friends." Little Bai Liu had no emotion on her face at all, "You're a liar full of lies, everything you say and do to me has a purpose, which makes it all the more difficult for me to understand why you'd give up taking blood from me and die for me."

"It's not even something you could do, and I certainly would never do something this stupid."

"Say it." Little Bai Liu clutched the coins on his chest as he looked straight at Bai Liu : "What else do you need me to do for you, the money you gave me is enough for me to do a lot of things for you."

"I just want you to live." Bai Liu turned to look at little Bai Liu with a grin, "It's really gone."

He walked out from the back of the church just in time to see Liu Huai also rambling on about something with Liu Jiayi.

Liu Huai would like to give everything to Liu Jiayi as Bai Liu did, but Liu Jiayi can't see it, and it's not good for her to take so many things.

Although Liu Huai didn't trust Bai Liu, he still trusted Bai Liu's trading character. He had no choice but to say to Bai Liu that if I die, I will give you everything before I die, and you will pass it to my sister.

Liu Huai then transfers them to Liu Jiayi, who gives Bai Liu four hundred points as payment.

Bai Liu promised.

Soon, this chorus performance came to the final time to take a group photo, it was not easy to finish removing the makeup of the small Bai Liu because of the group photo, and was caught by the teacher in the middle of the forehead with lipstick poking a big dot, he slightly a few points of life in the back row, hair with the end of the wash after the water is not yet dry, and slightly looked toward the front of the several investors standing.

Bai Liu and a couple of new investors are out front.

The dean set up a camera on them, "Group photo of the 200x Love Children's Welfare Institution Cultural Performance."

With a click, the little Bai Liu with his wandering gaze is left in the colorful photo.

Bai Liu always wondered how Bai Liu Jr. found him out of a group of investors, but he didn't ask, and if he had, Bai Liu Jr. probably would have pointed to Bai Liu in the picture and told him--

--Only the way you look at us, without the implication of deprivation or greed.

You're looking at us calmly, as if you were looking at yourself once.

"At the end of the choral performance, please hand the children to the investors to thank them for investing in their gift." The Dean raised his hand in a gesture, "This is the task I gave you yesterday, have you all done it?"

The sparse response of small children rang out, "We did it all, Dean."

These kids started lining up to give homemade gifts to investors.

Bai Liu Jr. stood and walked out of the line, and he walked past Bai Liu in silence, handing out nothing-because his investor [died], and he didn't have to and couldn't give a gift.

But Bai Liu asked Bai Liu for a gift from him after the church, and Bai Liu was not very happy to give it to him, but Bai Liu was shameless and said that he had paid for it, and finally Bai Liu succumbed to the charms of money, and reached out to Bai Liu to give him the gift he had prepared to give.

The gift was two paintings that he had drawn himself - one of a small fish that had been placed in a glass jar, and one of a shattered mirror that had burned and burst on an exploding train, which happened to be the two scenes from the game that Bai Liu had been talking about when he was chatting with Bai Liu Jr. last night, and the inscription underneath the paintings was [w].

Bai Liu looked down at the two paintings, and he realized where the two paintings he had seen in the real world came from, and where the sense of dissonance of the scenes in the paintings came from.

Bai Liu looks to Bai Liu Jr. standing in front of him - since Bai Liu Jr. hasn't actually experienced those games, he can only rely on what he knows so far to try to visualize and depict the scenario that Bai Liu is telling him, and the

This little orphanage is the only glimpse of the world that little Bai Liu can see.

So he used the things in the orphanage to depict the grandiose scenes Bai Liu described, which made Bai Liu feel a bit strange when he first saw the paintings, because the things on the screen were too "narrow" and hostile, not his usual style.

The weirdness comes from the difference in perception between Bai Liu Jr. and him.

Bai Liu's gaze fell on Bai Liu Jr. who still had a bit of unwiped lipstick at the end of his eyes, and Bai Liu Jr. quickly averted his eyes - he didn't like being looked at directly.

Oh yes, Bai Liu remembered, he still hated being looked at directly at his age, but now Bai Liu used to look directly at the other person in everything he did, a habit he developed in his work.

Little Bai Liu is so different from him, he is no longer the child whose eyes were trapped in the narrow confines of the orphanage and who loved sharp, saturated colors.

But he did used to be such a kid.

----

The chorus ended at 7:30 p.m.

After the dean sent all the investors back to the hospital, and Miao Gaojiang said a meaningful goodbye to Bai Liu, Bai Liu said good night as if nothing had happened, and went back to Mu Ke's room.

Mu Ke's room is empty.

The guy's still down there in the filing room, and Bai Liu glances down at the clock.

The time he planned for Mu Ke was from 12:00 noon until 9:15 p.m., a total of nine hours and fifteen minutes, and according to Mu Ke's fastest memorization speed, he could almost memorize three hundred to five hundred cases before the nurses changed their shifts-this was the number of [investor] cases that Bai Liu had gotten from the one he had gotten from his real world. This was Bai Liu's record of the number of children in the orphanage from his real world, the estimated number of [investor] cases that might be in the case file room.

There's almost an hour and a half left.

At this point Mu Ke would have contacted him with his keyboard, but - Bai Liu rubbed his bare neck, he had given the game manager to Bai Liu Jr. He would not be able to get in touch with Mu Ke, and there was no way he could go down there right now to find out what Mu Ke was up to, or inform Mu Ke of anything that could He couldn't get in touch with Mu Ke, and he couldn't go down now to find out how Mu Ke was doing, nor could he tell Mu Ke any information that could help him.

Case Management Room.

Mu Ke covers his mouth as he rummages through a pile of dusty file rooms for memories, he's been in this dark place for he doesn't even know how long, it's not like the wards have clocks in this place, Mu Ke can only tell what time it is by occasionally glancing at the nurses patrolling outside walking towards them.

Seeing a nurse heading in the direction of the cafeteria made Mu Ke a little nervous - it meant it was dinner time.

At this point, Miao Feichi and the others should have already returned, Mu Ke quickly opened his system backpack, and he was just about to fiddle with the keyboard to inquire about Bai Liu when he saw it move.

[ENTER] - This is the meaning of enter, which should have come back.

Mu Ke unplugged a [backspace] and a [? keycap, which is a backspace key and a question mark, which he means [am I coming back now?] , and then put back the keycaps.

Bai Liu's reply came quickly: [end][?

Mu Ke replied helplessly: [N] [O].

The number of cases here was more than he expected, Mu Ke briefly looked at the names, so many irregular names he had a bit of difficulty remembering, not to mention having to remember the child corresponding to each name, the point in time when the illness became serious and specific information.

At this point, Mu Ke had to be glad that Bai Liu had the foresight, this kind of tedious and detailed information he got up after a night's sleep to memorize is indeed much more efficient and clear, but he still could not finish it all in one afternoon - because the information given in the case here is too long!

Each patient here also has a detailed record of previous diagnostic procedures at other hospitals, and each patient's medical records are complicated as hell, because they have all been treated by many doctors before being declared hopeless, and the case files are so complex that they are the equivalent of a small book.

Bai Liu's message came back: [9] [1] [5].

Mu Ke gets it, it's a way for him to get back from the nurse's shift at 9:15.

But there's a serious problem: Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang are already back, and they might run into Mu Ke on the way.

Mu Ke: [v] [p] [?

Mu Ke used this for PVP, but because there was only one [p] on the keyboard used the second half of it, but he felt that Bai Liu, a gamer, should be able to read it as well.

PVP stands for Player VS Player, which means Player Versus Player, and Mu Ke is asking what to do if he runs into Miao Feichi and his rivals on the road.

There was a longer silence this time, as if he was trying to understand the meaning of this, and Mu Ke waited a little perplexed by the keyboard, then waited for a very aloof reply.

Bai Liu; [L] [F] [G].

Mu Ke didn't stop himself from sucking in a cold breath at the sight of those three letters, he didn't get it.

It was only after a while that Mu Ke was able to rummage through his memory to find out the meaning of the term - LFG was an acronym for the gaming term [Looking for group] in multiplayer networked games, meaning seeking players to form a group.

But that expression is actually used very little, it's all an acronym for gaming terminology that was only used years ago for large networked games, and nowadays it's more common to use voice invitations to group up, or just pop group invites.

It was thanks to Mu Ke's good memory and having studied this aspect of the game that he could barely recall the meaning of the acronym, and he pondered over it for a moment - Bai Liu meant for him to not panic and be hostile when he encountered Miao Feichi, and to calmly seek out a group from him.

Translated, it means that Mu Ke pretends to be Mu Ke, which is weird to say, but that's probably what it means.

However, Bai Liu had also told Mu Ke last night that Miao Gaojiang would most likely be suspicious of their identity today, and that the identity of [Mu Ke] wasn't absolutely safe, but in order to attack them, they would have to wait at least until after nine fifteen tonight for Miao Feichi's stamina slots to recover and to use their Higher Skills.

Miao Gaojiang won't go after them for a while without the cooperation of the main attacking player.

Because they consumed Miao Feichi a big move last night when they forced their way into the icu at nine fifteen, causing Miao Feichi's stamina to not be able to rely on potions to recover today, and to be in a kind of auto-recovery state where she was forced to do the cold benching.

Mu Ke sneaks into the file room just in time to come out at 9:15 when the nurses change shifts, and if he encounters Miao Feichi, he's also in the last few minutes of his stamina slot cooldown, so Mu Ke is safe until 9:15.

Everything is jammed to a tee, not a minute too soon.

Mu Ke exhaled a long breath, everything was just right under Bai Liu's arrangement, he couldn't find out exactly when Bai Liu started to make the plan, Mu Ke now even felt that last night Miao Feichi's rampage to use his S skill to drain his stamina slot was all in Bai Liu's plan.

Though they almost dogged it last night when Miao Feichi went on a rampage.

But today, both on the children's side and on his side, where he was unable to use his personal skills today due to last night's rampage by Miao Feichi, a short-lived peace was maintained.

This protects the safety of children and Mu Ke.

Mu Ke feels as if, without him even realizing it, every single point has been calculated and maximized by Bai Liu.

But honestly, any sense that this was within the plan was lost on him when he was being led through the plan by Bai Liu, because it was all too risky!

Like a desperate gambler's last gamble, if Miao Feichi had gone on a rampage last night, both he and Bai Liu would have been instantly gg, and that's a S-rank attack skill! That's a S-rank attack skill! It could wipe out 50% of Bai Liu's and his life value in a single hit!

But Bai Liu won the bet, and they have today's Christmas Eve.

At 9:10, the keyboard moved again, and Mu Ke opened it to see [G] [O].

It was letting him go, Mu Ke took a deep breath as he scanned the entire file room closing his eyes to recall what he had memorized before turning to peek outside through the doorway of the file room.

The lights were on in the nurse's duty room, but the corridor was deserted, dark and empty, the patients had all been shut back in by the nurses, and he let out a slow breath and pushed the door open to carefully make his way outside.

The long dark corridors and the constantly operating humidifiers underneath were shrouded in a dense mist with an eerie sense of humidity and stickiness, and the only bright sight in the night was the dull yellow light stealing out of the half-covered doorway of the nurse's duty room.

In such silence Mu Ke could only hear the tread of his own slender feet on the floor, and the slightest unidentified sound from within the wards on either side-- the

--is a very slender, like the kind of sound a plant would make at thirty-two times the speed at which it grows rapidly through the lens.

There was also a red fluorescence flickering from the doorways of a couple of the wards-the same fluorescence Mu Ke had seen last night on the Blood Lingzhi, that peculiar mushroom that gives off fluorescence as it grows-and a very strong scent of blood floated up to the tip of his nose.

Mu Ke picked up his pace, he didn't take the safe passage because there were a lot of deformed kids over there last night and taking the elevator was the safer option at this point in time when the nurse hadn't come out yet.

Mu Ke entered the elevator and pressed [7], the doors were closing slowly, jarringly in front of him, the red fluorescent light flickering under those ward doors was becoming more and more lush, Mu Ke heard what sounded like mushrooms exploding and releasing spores.

The door to a ward at the end of the corridor opened slowly - it was the ICU ward that Mu Ke had broken into last night - and inside walked, or rather crawled, a figure, crawling wasn't really accurate, the figure was too long, it arched its body and tilted its head as it pushed the door open and came out, its head up, as if sniffing at the air for what appeared to be, what he'd sucked on, the The smell of blood.

[SYSTEM WARNING: Newcomer player Mu Ke with a life value of only 6, two monsters have found you, please evacuate this scene quickly!

Mu Ke's breath caught a little - two, only one for this patient, and one somewhere?

But throughout the corridor Mu Ke hadn't noticed anything else out loitering except this patient who had walked out, but who was already closing in on him.

From far down the corridor, almost every time Mu Ke blinked, he could see the patient with limbs as long as spiders, stepping on the red light reflected in the cracks of those hospital room doors, moving and twisting limbs one step at a time on slender limbs, his head cocked as he stared at him, close to him.

But the elevator door where Mu Ke was standing was still jamming and wouldn't close, not even when Mu Ke pressed it so hard that his brain was sweating.

Obviously during the day to see the group of nurses make quite good, this private hospital decoration are so luxurious, not to use such a they can not close the broken elevator it!

Wait ...... This elevator is of good quality, and if it won't close if you keep pressing it inside, there's only one possibility that someone outside is pressing the open button.

Mu Ke stiffened and peeked out to see that to the side of the elevator stood a child covered in syringes, its legs twisted together in what looked like a physical deformity, on its knees with its head tilted back and pressing the elevator buttons over and over again, which Mu Ke hadn't seen because it happened to be in the way and the person was small.

The monstrous child who kept pushing the elevator open had one side of his finger broken off, as if it had been neatly severed after being cut, and after it met Mu Ke's terrified, vacant gaze, the child broke into a bizarre and innocent smile and giggled.

"Don't go up, go down, you're going down, there's someone up there waiting to catch you!"

Mu Ke was so scared that he almost went weak in the knees, but the patient over there was already coming, Mu Ke quickly pushed the kid out of the way, retreated back into the elevator and frantically pressed the close button, and at the very last moment the door closed on the patient who was crawling on all fours to get to the elevator door.

After a moment's lull, it finally rose slowly upward, and Mu Ke, limp with exhaustion, glanced at the time on the elevator-nine-fourteen.

Miao Feichi's stamina will be full in a minute, so as long as he doesn't encounter Miao Feichi in that minute, he should be fine.

The elevator suddenly stops at the 5th floor and the door slowly opens, Mu Ke stiffly looks up at the person outside the door.

Miao Feichi smiled and squatted down, waving a finger at Mu Ke who was sitting on the floor: "Good evening, Mu Ke, where are you coming back from so late, did you just go to see Bai Liu?"

The clock on the elevator jumped - [9:15:00]

Miao Feichi seemed to notice Mu Ke's sight on the clock, and he smiled more and more evilly, "Eh-ah-ah-ah, my stamina tank, it seems to be restored now."

With that said, he drew his twin knives against Mu Ke's chin, and with his wrists up forcing Mu Ke to lift his head up, Miao Feichi leaned his body down to look at Mu Ke who had been swallowing hard in fear, his tone was light and brisk, "Didn't you say that this to of mine was a grass pig knife? But this knife of mine hasn't f*cked an animal as dirty as a pig, but if you're not going to be honest with us."

"I'll use this knife to fuck you through your rectum." Miao Feichi grinned as she drew the twin knives from either side of her body, tapping them on either side of Mu Ke's body with a click.

The snow-white reflection on the back of the knife made Mu Ke shiver, and he wanted to stomp his legs and back away from the elevator, but Miao Gaojiang had somehow stood behind Mu Ke, and was looking at him with an expressionless face.

There's no way back for him.
