Chapter 84: Loving Welfare Home

The following morning, Monday morning at 6.30am.

Bai Liu didn't want to sleep on the mushroom straw bed, so he spent the night on the floor with his books. The next day he woke up and the pages on the floor were stuck because the humidity in the room was so high that the pages on the floor were soaked through and stuck to the floor, and there was a lot of dew on the walls. The humidifiers were working non-stop to create a humidity level that was worse than the rainy season.

But the three humidifiers in the ward were ordered by the nurses to never be switched off, just as it was one of the rules of this hospital not to use high intensity lighting in the ward.

He sat quietly on the page waiting for a call from little Bai six - the kid would surely call him in the morning for the money too, after all, it was charged by the minute.

By 6.45am, Bai Liu's walkie-talkie went off, this time little Bai six was not running, but breathing and footsteps were soft, as if he had sneaked out on tiptoe.

"Good morning, Mr. Investor." little Bai six whispered in an almost airy voice, "The kid who chased us yesterday is gone, and when I came out I saw the teacher in the hallway talking about taking us to church today for a testimony to symbolise that we children who have suffered are officially in a place of refuge and that we are born again."

The children were admitted to the orphanage yesterday, today being Monday, and the phrase little Bai six instantly reminded Bai Liu of the nursery rhyme [Born on Monday].

So according to the nursery rhyme - [Baptism on Tuesday], the procedure is that you should be baptized tomorrow.

"And then we're going to be baptised on Tuesday, tomorrow, to wash away all the suffering we've had out there." Little Bai Six said softly, "Parents have to be present when the children are baptised, but we don't have any parents except Liu Jiayi, so it's an open day for parents, so you can come in. "

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

"The kids who went out to call last night, the room I was in had little Miao Feichi in it apart from me, but we both managed to get back to our rooms, little Miao Feichi had been crying all night and looked like he should be okay, he ran quite fast. He was crying all the time, but he didn't get caught." little Bai six spoke in a flat tone, "But something rather strange happened in the early hours of the morning when I heard the footsteps of a child crossing the corridor and following the sound of a flute."

"These children were humming the nursery rhyme played by the flute, and I got up to look 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, jumping in line and following the direction of the flute, but so far it was almost dawn, and I did not see them return. "

This is also consistent with the 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 could not be found.

"Do you think the sound of that flute has a hypnotic or disorienting effect?" Bai Liu inquired thoughtfully, "Would you want to follow it when you heard it?"

little Bai six didn't think twice: "No, it blew so badly that I wanted to go to the toilet."

"......", considering that he seemed to be very resistant to this kind of hypnotic suggestion and that Bai Liu was rarely guided during his real-world visits to the psychiatrist, asked one more question, "Were any of the other children in your room affected by this flute? Were any of the other children in your room affected by the sound of the flute?"

There was a moment of silence, as if remembering, and then little Bai six spoke up, "I don't think so, except for little Miao Feichi, who cried all night, but all the other children in the room were sound asleep."

Why did the children follow the flute of their own accord when it had no hypnotic or disorienting effect?

Bai Liu was lost in thought, could it be that there was really a [Piper] set monster in this copy, but if it was such a set monster, why did it only lure away a few children each time, after all, the Piper's flute in the story was an indiscriminate attack that took all the children away at once, but this children's home version of the Piper attacked with precision each time and only took away a few children, or children How is this possible?

Little Bai six The voice over there suddenly lowered, "The teacher is coming over to check us out, this time the call time is 12 minutes and 37 seconds, rounded up to thirteen, that's a thousand and three, plus the thousand and seven from last night makes three thousand, thanks for your patronage, see you next time, Mr. Investor."

When he finished, he hung up the phone very coldly.

Bai Liu was sure this time, little Bai six, that the child must have been on the phone with him on a stopwatch.

At 9 a.m., announcements were made in the wards and corridors that

"Good morning patients, after nine o'clock you can open your doors and move around, for those who have searched for their medication, in five minutes the nurses will bring it to your ward for administration, for those who have not searched for their medication, please go to the hospital dining room on the ground floor for a meal and after that speed up your search for your medication, you are already critically ill... ..."

Bai Liu opened the door and he saw that other patients on this floor were also open.

After the night, it seemed that all the patients came out much more refreshed and less parched as if they had been given enough moisture by the humidifier.

In the corridor, there was a nurse pushing the trolley and running fast on her high heels to deliver medicine to some patients in the ward.

So it looks like the medicine is a liquid, Bai Liu pondered and wrote down.

Muke and Bai Liu had a code word before they moved in, these two were on the same floor, both on the ninth floor. Muke came out, the dark circles under his eyes heavier than before, like two students who had stayed up all night preparing for their final exams, both were playing hachems, and it looked like they had stayed up all night reading.

As soon as Bai Liu came out, Muke stared at him with such eagerness and concentration that it made people's skin tingle, like a cat that was still in high spirits after a long night's sleep, with the words "Come and fuck me" written all over its face.

This one looks like it's time to wag its tail and ask for a reward.

Bai Liu obediently asked Muke: "Have you found anything?"

"This game wants us to look for prescriptions in medical books, I've read a lot of literature on the subject because I'm sick, and I know quite a bit about these. Last night I wanted to split the work with you and read half of them each, but it turned out that the patient couldn't leave the room on the first day, so I just went ahead and read them, and I read twenty-one last night."

Muke said, slapping his mouth again and snorting, his eyes watering from sleep, he couldn't help but complain, "This game is set up to be so shit, the room is dark and wet and no lights are allowed, I'm going blind, I'm lucky I have a pen to position my vision, otherwise I'd be seeing astigmatism."

Bai Liu was eerily silent for a while when he heard the twenty-one books.

The books in this game are extraordinarily thick, so thick that Bai Liu didn't even bother to read them, Muke the guy actually managed to read 21 books in one night ......

"Can you remember everything after you read it?" Bai Liu asked.

Muke gave Bai Liu a strange look: "You can remember it if you read it, why can't you remember it?"

Bai Liu: "......" He just can't remember it.

Bai Liu felt the disdain of the academic bully for the academic slacker.

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

Bai Liu, the schoolboy, was silent for a moment and answered honestly, "0.01 book." He then turned the page twice and closed it.

Muke's reflexes were severely diminished by the late night and the overuse of his brain, and he pondered Bai Liu's words for a moment before repeating with a wooden face, "0.01 book?"

This is about as good as not watching it!

Then Muke quickly reacted and approached Bai Liu with some urgency, looked around to make sure no one else was there and asked Bai Liu in a lowered voice, "You're not really going to the ICU to steal that life-sustaining prescription, are you? Bai Liu, if you don't want to read it, you can let me read it all, I can read books quickly, I can finish the bookcase in three days at most!"

"But even if you've read it, do you know what you're looking for in terms of a recipe for renewal?" Bai Liu turned to Muke and questioned him.

Muke is stunned.

Indeed he did not know.

But even though Muke had read 21 books in one night and could remember every word in them, Muke really didn't know what they were looking for because the definition of what the system was looking for was so vague that it was difficult to determine what they were looking for without a clear point of reference - whether it was a specific drug, a treatment plan, or something else. It is difficult to determine what they are looking for without a clear indication - a specific drug, a treatment plan, or something else.

"Without precise instructions, it's hard to know exactly what we're looking for in the cure for life." Bai Liu looked at Muke for a moment and prompted patiently, "And the system's task prompt is to find the cure for life renewal in the bookcase within the hospital, not necessarily specifically in our ward."

"But the bookcases in all the wards are the same." Muke looked at Bai Liu a little uneasily, "When I came up here I deliberately peeked at the bookcases in the wards when the other patients were still closed, all the wards here have bookcases, I have a good memory, I can clearly remember the bookcases in the wards I have looked at all have the same kind of books, if the system wants us to look at books to find a cure for life If the system is trying to get us to read books to find a cure for life, then breaking into the icu and going in we can see the same books, not much point Bai Liu ."

"But what is the difference between other people's books, and our books?" Bai Liu looks at Xiang Muke, "What's the difference between a book you read last night and a book you haven't read?"

Muke was stunned for a moment as he thought for a moment and realised what Bai Liu was trying to say.

"It's notes!" Muke sounded dazed, "Reading in this light on the ward, the book must have left notes because without a pen to orientate your vision, you simply can't find where you read the last sentence in a blink of an eye."

"Suppose that in this hospital where there is no doctor, everyone is treating themselves. " Bai Liu explains without haste, "Suppose they all enter the hospital, as we do, and then read books in which they find a cure for themselves, and since it is forbidden to carry any large source of light in this hospital, but the light is very poor, then these people should be reading with the help of the light that is already in the wards, and that is why we have drawers that's why there are so many pens in there."

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

Bai Liu calmly scanned Muke for a moment: "According to the way that song is sung, sick on Thursday, seriously ill on Friday and dead on Saturday, this illness should have worsened with time, the icu patients were the sickest coming for the longest time, they were obviously receiving treatment, so the handwriting on their book was the most likely to reveal the system's so-called [renewal remedy]. "

Muke frowned, "But even so, icu we can't even break in."

With so many nurses watching and a Miao Feichi standing by, an unusual move like going to the ICU would definitely get the attention of Miao Feichi! And that thing in the ICU ...... is obviously no longer in human form, so there is a high probability that it is a monster.

Bai Liu looking at Xiang Muke: "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish reading and remembering all the notes, but I'm relieved you're here."

"I can help you remember!" Muke nodded, but he was a little worried, "But Bai Liu, how are we going to get into the icu?"

Bai Liu stroked Muke's head, his eyes downcast and his tone low, "You'd do anything for me, wouldn't you, Muke?"

Muke hesitantly looked up at Bai Liu, whose eyes were so deep that when he gazed at them so calmly, the darkness of his eyes gave him a chilling feeling of the waters of a deep well, making Muke slightly unsettled, but he bit his lower lip and opened his mouth: "I do, Bai Liu. "

"Then will you kill me?" Bai Liu asked Muke with a gentle smile as he pulled out a snow-white bone whip and placed it in Muke's trembling hand, his tone softly coaxing, "Would you use my fishbone whip to strangle me until I bleed profusely, Muke?"

Muke is frozen in time.

--------

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

Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang were having dinner on the ground floor. They were not in a hurry to find Bai Liu and kill him, but the first clue to the level. Liu Huai, who was eating because his sister was worried, also reflexively drew his sword in his sleeve, or shadow dagger.

A bloodied patient stumbles down the emergency stairs, a snow-white bone whip in his hand, and scurries out of the room, a very recognisable prop that instantly catches Miao Feichi's attention.

He crossed several tables in the cafeteria and moved quickly to stop the player with his twin swords in hand. Miao Feichi immediately startled the player when his twin swords were released and smashed on the ground.

This patient who was crying and running fast all the way did not run steadily on the wet ground, and fell on his buttocks with a slip. It was that monster that killed you! I just gave you a filler to pick up the slack!"

The player, with blood all over his body and face and breathing poorly, seemed to be terrified by the scene he had just seen, and now his hands were shaking and his pupils were scattered, and he was on his knees holding his head and whimpering loudly as if in shock.

"Wimp." Miao Feichi, who had little interest in such ordinary players, kicked the player, sending him flying off his back and smashing into the pillar of the dining table, "Stand up and return my words."

The player bounced off the post behind him and let out a loud whimper of pain.

Muke's eyes were filled with tears, fear and terror, the overwhelming guilt of hurting Bai Liu and the uneasiness of hurting his protector with his own hands almost made Muke lose control, causing his mental values to fluctuate.

Muke shook his head frantically as Bai Liu took his hand in his own and wrapped the sharp bone whip full of fish spines around his slender white neck, 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 injured one, OK.

And Bai Liu smiled and said it wasn't good, he said I had a bad memory and couldn't remember so many notes, so it was only me who got hurt, you were the one who needed to stay awake, Muke.

If you're going to play in a league with me, you can't always rely on me, Muke, you need to grow up, and the first step to growing up is trying to do things on your own without me.

Bai Liu holds Muke's hand and contracts the bone whip around his neck, the fish spikes digging into his skin, blood pouring out of the holes and soaking the straw bed, staining the snowy sheets white.

Muke broke down hysterically and screamed like a fledgling forced out of its nest, while Bai Liu laughed softly and carelessly as blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, bubbles of blood poured into his windpipe causing Bai Liu to choke and cough, while the man stroked Muke's head as if he were a teacher explaining his student's last wishes before he died - - Muke, whether in this game or the next, we must win, and we must win to the end.

And it's all up to you, Muke.

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

Muke gritted his teeth to contain the near bone-crushing pain of Miao Feichi's kick to his back, his heart constricting so much from the violent emotional ups and downs and movements that Muke felt like gagging, but he dutifully held his head and shivered, pretending to be an ordinary player who didn't know anything about scavenging.

All the nurses were hurrying upwards, and a few were pushing emergency beds, exchanging words as they went.

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

"The patient's name is Bai Liu! The nurse went over and confirmed that there was a laceration in the neck and that he had lost a lot of blood and needed urgent resuscitation!"

"What's with the lacerations?! He opened the door last night didn't he?"

"...... We checked with the roving nurse on that floor from last night and it seems he did open the door last night and most likely put something in his ward for that reason ......"

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

"Yes! ICU ward bed ready, straight into the ward when we get out of the operating theatre!"

Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang took one look at each other, both of them saw incredulity in the other's eyes, Miao Gaojiang frowned: " Bai Liu opened the door last night and was attacked? Is this really Bai Liu ?"

"I think so, npc's don't mistake players." Miao Feichi snickered meaningfully as he watched a group of nurses run upstairs in a frenzy, saying as they ran that the patient was in an emergency, Miao Feichi couldn't help but gloat a little, "Exploitation, looking at this situation, Bai Liu is going to give us a blood for nothing."

Miao Feichi finished with a fake sigh, "What should I do, I was going to take him live? If he dies, it won't work." With that, Miao Feichi picked up Muke, who was crouched on the ground and shaking, by the tip of his toe and slapped Muke's blood-stained face with his twin swords from above.

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

With that, Miao Feichi pulls a balance prop out of nowhere.

This prop, Muke, was seen in Bai Liu's VIP video for The Last Train, called [The Judge's Scales], a common prop used for lie detection, and was used by Mu Sicheng on Liu Huai.

This is a very common item among professional league players, Zhang Gui also had one before, but it was stolen by Mu Sicheng, and many professional players will carry one with them when they are sure that their opponents are fond of playing all sorts of tricks and tricks, such as Bai Liu, an intelligence type.

Miao Feichi brought this prop with her this time to protect against Bai Liu.

Muke's pupils flinched at the sight of the prop, but he quickly slowed his breathing - calm down, calm down, the prop could only answer yes and no, and he remembered that it could be answered by emotional manipulation, as Mu Sicheng had been fooled by Liu Huai's answer.

"Don't even think about lying, I'm not as stupid as Mu Sicheng to be fooled, but if you are Mu Sicheng then I'm sorry to offend." Miao Feichi smirked and crouched down, his scimitar around Muke, "You'd better not play tricks, this scale does make some fallacies when answering some very complicated questions, but simple questions, this scale will never fail, you lie and I'll have you killed, it won't take me a second to do it. "

Miao Feichi wrapped his knife around Muke's neck with a condensing gaze, "First question, did you really cut Bai Liu, as you said?"

"Yes, yes." Muke had to lift his head as he was compared to the knife, his voice trembling, "I cut his neck with my own hands, with the fishbone in his hand!"

Muke held up the bloodstained white fish bone to Miao Feichi as he spoke.

The scales shifted a little, quite simply in favour of [Makoto].

"Good, even if you knifed him, Bai Liu such like to play dirty tricks is not unable to play the self-knife counter-strategy routine, next is the second question, are you Bai Liu's accomplice ......"

Muke's heart was in his throat as he looked nervously at Miao Feichi, unable to breathe, his hand already clutching Siren's bone whip.

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