Chapter 116: The Caring Orphanage

She looked at little Bai six quietly: "You've had those moments, when a cowardly liar full of lies suddenly starts treating you well, and you wonder over and over and over what he's up to ......"

"...... They give you this unexplained and unexplained goodness like the beautiful poisoned tail of a scorpion, the needle of a bee with honey, and you swallow your mouth wondering all the time when the poison the sting will pierce your heart and chest, what is he really doing to you for? Will he betray you?"

"Isn't that what you did to Bai Liu, a lying liar? little Bai six ? Did you ever really believe the good he gave you before he was really willing to die for you last night, before you knew he was someone else?"

"Haven't you been tempted in the process?"

Little Bai six pursed his lips, he did not answer Liu Jiayi's question.

Liu Jiayi snorted: "You are the same type as me, born to trust no one, and I am constantly repeating this process of temptation, but I am not as lucky as you, the other one being myself."

She paused, her breathing grew faint, her tone confused: "I could never know what my brother was thinking because I am not him, he is a man of that man's blood, he has the same voice as the man who gave birth to me, I could never stop doubting him, every day I heard his voice, I could not help but feel that hatred, but when he smiled and called me Jiayi, when he was kind to me, I could not help thinking - if only he could live a little longer, stay with me a little longer. When he calls me Jiayi, when he is kind to me, I can't help thinking - if only he could live a little longer, stay with me a little longer."

"...... Even if he had betrayed me and sold me out to that man, it would have been nice if he could have been my brother all the time with a smile like that." Liu Jiayi's voice trailed off, as if she was remembering something.

"This is the only person in the world who is different, the only person who has taken me away from everything." Liu Jiayi whispered in a trance, "...... But even though I've tried a thousand times to believe in him, no matter how much he promised me, I really can't help myself from doubting him, just like he can't help betrayal is."

"...... Even if he cried bitterly the day before and swore he would never coax me out again, saying it would be the last time, the next day as soon as the man who had me started beating him, my brother started looking for me everywhere, crying and begging me to come out, and when I finally did, my brother would tremble and take me by the hand and send me to the man to beat ...... under him, no matter how many times."

Liu Jiayi smiled with the kind of dissonant smile of a soft little girl who had been trained a thousand times: "We can't be sure that another person who is important to us won't betray us, so controlling each other is the best option, and looking at what you're doing now, you and I are making the same choice, aren't we? little Bai six ?"

"No, I'm not like you." little Bai six retorted very plaintively to Liu Jiayi, "I chose to be controlled by him."

Liu Jiayi is stunned.

" Bai Liu, the other me, gave me two guesses on the oddity of having only fifty percent of your life before we fled, and told me to choose for myself." little Bai six was already so close to Liu Jiayi that he had to look down at Liu Jiayi who was already almost on the back of his foot.

little Bai six lowered his eyes and spoke in a calm tone, "The first guess is that you were poisoned by a mushroom-type poison outside, which caused your vitality to be weakened, and he has more evidence and information to support this guess, but the one thing that doesn't make sense about this guess is that... This speculation does not explain the fact that Liu Huai's vitality was also weakened."

The expression on Liu Jiayi's face froze, as if she realized something, and her grip on the doll slowly tightened, but her tone remained generally calm as she looked to little Bai six and asked, "So what? What about the second guess?"

"The second guess is that-" little Bai six said faintly, "he guessed that you might be a player who had already entered, and that personal skills might be related to mortality and lifesteal, forcing the system to have to step in to weaken your presence, and he's given me the name of a guessed player."

little Bai six looked straight down at Liu Jiayi and whispered softly, "I think it's called - Little Witch, isn't it?"

Liu Jiayi's breathing stops for a few seconds.

"Then why did you stop to save me?" Liu Jiayi's mask of a good girl's expression finally cracked and her face took on an almost fierce and scowling expression, with a hint of unintended panic, "You knew I was a little witch, so why did you stop! Why did you come into this classroom tonight! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!"

"Because the other me told me to try and keep you alive." Bai six looked calmly straight at Liu Jiayi, "It was a gamble, if you were indeed not a witch and you were poisoned causing you to vomit blood, if I didn't save you then you would have died, and the other me paid for your life so at least you couldn't die at my hands, that's my ethics as a wanderer in the trade. ."

Liu Jiayi's hands were shaking a little, her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at the little Bai six, who had maintained her composure up to now, with some bewilderment and shock: "You knew ...... you knew ...... you came in here tonight to die? You guessed it, didn't you? Why did you come in here?!"

Little Bai six said softly, "If I die by your hand tonight, it will only mean that I made an error of judgment at the beginning, that I was doomed to die when I chose to save you, so tonight is doomed whether I come or not."

"But if you're not a little witch, then I can come in tonight and save your life." little Bai six said very calmly, "In terms of a trade off of benefits, whether you are a little witch or not, for the possibility that you are not, I am required to come in tonight."

Liu Jiayi suddenly arches her back and covers her mouth, choking and coughing as the green, mushroom-smelling juice seeps out from between her fingers.

She coughed so hard that the blood faded from her face, and her eyes quickly welled up with physical tears from the violent choking and coughing, but she persisted in glaring viciously at little Bai six like a small, stern animal, holding up the doll with its limbs and head torn off in her hands, threatening little Bai six.

Bai six just ignored it, he went forward to pick up Liu Jiayi, who was still gulping mushroom juice with one hand, and commented nonchalantly, "It seems that Bai Liu is right in both guesses, although you are faking vomiting blood, you did get poisoned because of the orphanage, and you are indeed a little witch, and you used a prop to fake vomiting blood at that time, right? What kind of prop did you use to disguise it, right?"

"I'll really kill you, little Bai six." Liu Jiayi fiercely swatted away little Bai six's hand that was coming to help her, but her eyes were welling up with tears as she choked and coughed, and her cheeks were covered in tears, "Ahem, I was just talking to you to stall for time and wait for my skill to run out, but now that my CD is over, you can't get away! Little Bai six!"

[System Alert: Liu Jiayi's personal skill (Poison and Antidote) CD (cooldown time after use) is over, can be reused]

[System Alert: Witch, tonight you have a bottle of poison and a bottle of antidote, do you want to use the poison or the antidote?

Little Bai six looks quietly at Liu Jiayi.

Liu Jiayi's eyes misted up and she looked away from little Bai six, pursing her lips tightly and gritting her teeth: "...... I won't believe you're going to save me! You're all liars! There is no such thing as someone who is suddenly kind to me for no reason! Even my brother was nice to me because I got beaten up myself in exchange for it!"

She had always understood that much of Liu Huai's kindness to her was motivated by guilt, and that guilt was the most worthless of emotions before betrayal.

Liu Jiayi closed her eyes, tears crossing the corners of her eyes: [Tonight I will use poison]

A black, twisted black miasma rises up from Liu Jiayi's body, and a black lace veil appears to envelop her from head to toe, holding in her hands a huge, curved-necked, slender glass bottle, the rounded body of which is filled with a gurgling black liquid, all the black gas rising from these burst bubbles in the bottle. from which all the black gas was rising.

The black, viscous, smoky gas soon wraps around the small, thin Liu Jiayi, who is holding the bottle, like the tentacles of an octopus.

Her grey eyes looked through the translucent openwork lace as if with tears, and black, forbidden blood dripped from the corners of her mouth as if cursed: "You saved me, the worst choice and judgment you ever made, little Bai six."

"I was never a good boy who knew how to repay you, I was an uncompromising cunt." She said viciously, "I will never be grateful to you for saving me!"

"Neither am I." Bai six looked up at Liu Jiayi, who spoke as if he had already accepted the current ending and spoke matter-of-factly, "You and I have quite similar skills, I'm a wanderer you're a witch, we both look like godforsaken people."

Liu Jiayi bit her lower lip as she sternly retorted to little Bai six: "I don't believe in the existence of God!"

The people at this orphanage say that children who don't believe in God will be punished by God and go to hell, so Liu Jiayi, after you kill me, I'll see you in hell."

"But Liu Jiayi." little Bai six was quiet, " Muke is completely unaware of your affairs, you can kill him without having to."

Liu Jiayi looked at little Bai six with clenched fists for a long, long time, so long that little Bai six thought that the clever blind girl would not let Muke, who had sensed that something was wrong, go.

Liu Jiayi finally spoke in a dry voice, "...... Okay, open the classroom door later and I'll give you ten minutes to get out."

Little Bai six closed his eyes, he opened his arms and took a deep breath of the black mist, then slowly exhaled again, his head had begun to spin, little Bai six slowly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Jiayi who was walking towards him with the poison in his hand.

"I still don't understand why you ...... wanted to save me." Liu Jiayi slowly crouched down, her head resting on the shoulder of little Bai six who sat frowning and dislocated on the ground after being hit by the poisonous mist, dropping her trembling eyelashes like a restless and sensitive little sister, and in a voice with a little hoarseness, she softly asked little Bai six.

If Liu Jiayi hadn't been holding the bottle of poison, which was still smouldering black, she would have thought she was about to be poisoned.

Black blood slowly slipped from the corner of little Bai six's mouth and was swallowed with great effort.

"Probably - being the bad boy for so long that suddenly someone wants me to be the good boy for once." Little Bai six sighed in a rare and somewhat bitter way, "Surely there's something about universal values that I still can't understand, when it's clear that you get nothing for being a good boy and you have to pay the price yourself."

Liu Jiayi's forehead rested on little Bai six's shoulder, she closed her eyes, her eyes a little red, her teeth clenched vaguely, her breath shattered, trying her best to hold back the tears: "Obviously you're a totally bad guy, just don't do such things, to save me to this point, I still won't thank you, I definitely won't thank you, I worse than you are ......"

Little Bai six leans back and looks at the ceiling.

His consciousness drifted a little, but he could feel the warmth radiating from his chest where Liu Jiayi rested against it.

little Bai six suspiciously, because weakness speaks slowly asked her: " Liu Jiayi, you are not tricked to me? Didn't you win ...... didn't you kill me as you wished? You should be very happy, why are you crying?"

Liu Jiayi was silent for a long time, then sneered, but the voice that came out was tinged with tears, "Because you made me cry ...... stupid Bai six!"
