Chapter 93: Loving Orphanage

Bai Liu is not moving too fast, and soon the nurse behind him will catch up.

I don't know why the nurses in their high heels could still run faster than Bai Liu and the three of them on the slippery ground, but they could not help it, they just ran fast. Liu Huai was forced to use his skills, dragging Bai Liu and Muke, two low-level players, one by one through the night corridor at speed.

[System Alert: Player Liu Huai uses his personal skill (Assassin Concealment), which covers the player himself, player Bai Liu, player Muke]

[Skill Description: Concealment Cover is an A rank personal skill that reduces the probability of being detected by other people or non-humans when fleeing or sneaking, giving the player the same protective colour as the surroundings like a chameleon.

Almost instantly, Liu Huai disappeared into the gloomy corridor like a wispy mist, and so did Bai Liu and Muke, who appeared as if a barrier had suddenly appeared over them, allowing the nurses to scurry past them without finding out where they were.

It was as if they were covered in a transparent veneer that made them undetectable to others, but when they got closer they could still see some vague outlines.

Liu Huai moved slowly against the wall, with Bai Liu and Muke behind him, and began to walk in the direction of the security exit, brushing past nurses hurrying towards the lift, who whispered.

"There are patients on a night out."

"There are no rooms on the ground floor with patients coming out, which floor is it?"

"I don't know, take the lift up and see, it's night time, tell the other nurses to meet at the lift and stay away from the security exit, it's not a place for us to go after 9pm ......"

These nurses do not use the safety exits. When they find a patient wandering at night, these nurses have to go from floor to floor to check which floor the patient is wandering at night, and they do not use the safety exits, they usually take the lift.

But when he reached the exit Liu Huai's face sank and he understood what the nurse was doing by not taking the safety stairs.

Because here on the safety stairs, something else is going on.

Outside the exit of the security staircase there was a child holding up a very large mobile phone on the phone.

The child and the neck both had unplugged syringes with dried blood in them. It was obvious that the child had been bled many times and the whole thing was so drained of blood that it was skin and bones, and its face was frighteningly blue and white, like a walking skeleton frame, as it muttered and punched the phone while shaking its immense head and turning around to reveal its front.

The child's eyes are rolled up, most of them are white, and he has a very demented expression on his face, his mouth is still drooling at the corners, and he flings his hands and feet in a peculiarly cheerful giggle.

The kid said in a jarring voice into the phone, "Mr. Investor, you're coming to see me are you?"

"You're taking me away are you!" He sounded suddenly strange, two tears of blood slowly flowing from his eyes, waving his hands and shaking his head, "So it's not taking me away, it's taking my blood away ...... one tube, two jars, three ...... I have no more blood Mr. Investor, I'm not It's gone, it hurts!!! Please don't draw any more of my blood!"

The child suddenly cried out in a shrill cry, he crumpled to the floor with a grimace, jumped frantically on the phone that did not make any sound of a call, stomped on it, all the syringes on it shook as he lived, then the child cocked his head and removed the syringe from the side of his neck and held it in his hand, his demented face revealed A goofy grin that curved so wide it cracked behind his ears, "I need blood too, Mr. Investor."

[The Monster Book of Love Orphanage Refresh - Deformed Children (1/3)]

[Monster Name: Deformed Child (Berserk version after blood draw)

[Features: movement speed 1500-2000, indiscriminate berserk attack on any investor with blood].

[Weakness: ????? (to be explored)]

[Attack: Injecting and drawing blood (A+ level skill, will insert a syringe into the investor's neck and keep drawing blood until the opponent bleeds out and dies)]

[Attack: Phone Location (A+ level tracking skill, late at night still out wandering investors gentlemen, children will call the phone to find naughty you oh, as long as your phone rings, you do not answer they can follow the phone ringing to find you, you pick up, they can quickly find you)

[Whether you pick up or not, you will be found Oh, of course, pick up the children to find you will be faster, will jump on your back and call you at once Oh ~]

"Oh no, my Assassin concealment skill is only A!" Liu Huai's face changed, "This little monster's phone ringing can destroy my concealment!"

This phone is forcibly bound to them, the system does not allow the player to throw away the phone, because to facilitate the [child] to call the investor at any time, before Liu Huai has always thought that this child is the batch inside the orphanage, I did not expect that here in this private hospital, there is actually [child] to call them too.

In a flash, the phones of Bai Liu, Muke, and Liu Huai all rang. Liu Huai hung up quickly, but soon rang again, his face turned ugly and he started backing up slowly with the phone in his hand.

There was no way a deformed child could call all three of them at the same time, and the fact that all three of their phones rang at the same time could only mean one thing -

Bai Liu spoke calmly, "There is more than one deformed child here."

The beeping of outgoing calls in the darkness increased, and out of the darkened staircase slowly came more and more deformed children sucked to the skin and bones.

Some of their limbs were shrivelled, some limp, some crouched on the ground covering their hearts, holding a huge telephone in their hands, their round, ping-pong ball-sized eyes wide open with their heads cocked against the receiver, their eyes all black, a blood-stained red to black colour.

They shouted in an oddly shrill, child's cry-like tone, their open throats even visible in the hanging, swaying, bright red pendants: "INVESTOR! I want blood!!!"

Shouting, they quickly got down on all fours, hissing at the sound of the call and ploughing their way towards Bai Liu and the others.

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes and hung up his phone once more, quickly dialing over a new one.

It turns out that those kids are only allowed to call investors at night [9pm to 12pm] and [6am to 9am], and calls to investors at other times will be busy - there will be these ghostly freak kids calling at other times in order to track down the investors, so many freak kids calling non-stop to occupy their phone access. So many freakish kids calling non-stop to take up their phone access that normal kids calling will naturally be on the line.

" Bai Liu, I'm going to lose movement with you two ...... only one of you can still possibly break out of this pile of kids ......" Liu Huai met Bai Liu's unshaken gaze, he gritted his teeth, "Ok, I know you won't lose your teammates, what about us? You save your teammates, you always have to think of something!"

Muke moved with difficulty as he tried to pull his hand from Bai Liu's shoulder.

But Bai Liu pulled him too tightly, he couldn't tear himself away, Muke was about to cry, his voice was hoarse and strained: " Bai Liu, give me up, and little Muke, if I die and you take him through I won't ......"

"Shut up." Bai Liu gave Muke a cold to the extreme look, "You ruined my plan by sending me to my death, you wasted your own life points and a lot of my points to save you, you better earn it back for me, I haven't settled this score with you yet."

With a start, Muke realised that Bai Liu was really angry with him for wasting his life points by sending him to his death.

And as Bai Liu hates this kind of wastefulness, Muke purses his lips in fear and stops talking.

The look on Bai Liu's face was a bit scary, when this person's face showed a really upset expression, the aura was rather scary and seeping, although Bai Liu's face didn't have much expression, but it just exuded an aura that made people shut up automatically, for a while Liu Huai all snapped their mouths shut and didn't dare to continue to open their mouths.

Bai Liu quickly regained his even expression and began to calmly give orders.

"This group of freak kids located us by phone, it's an A+ skill but it's not completely without a way to deal with it." Bai Liu looked to Liu Huai and spoke abruptly, "It's still a long time ago, but Liu Huai do you remember what you're supposed to do when you work with Mu Sicheng stealing?"

Liu Huai was stunned, though Buming Bai Liu why he brought it up, he replied a little breathlessly as he dragged Bai Liu with him as they ran, "Remember, he stole something to draw the monsters, then I shifted the hate value to draw the monsters following him over, then he came back to attack when the monsters were about to catch up to me. "

"Make sure we're safe by switching the hate value repeatedly between him and me, and transferring the monsters before him and me." Liu Huai quickly dismisses this solution, "But now this phone will keep ringing! These freak kids aren't chasing people based on a simple hate value determination! They're tracking people based on the sound of the phone! With the phones ringing on all three of us, this solution just won't work!"

Before Liu Huai could say anything, he saw Bai Liu's gaze flicker and he reached out and grabbed the child who was rushing towards him.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu used player Mu Sicheng's personal skill (Thief Monkey Paw) to steal (Freak Child)'s phone. Freak Child was very angry and decided to give him a shot]

The child screamed and lunged at Bai Liu, all in a matter of seconds, and before Liu Huai could react, Bai Liu ducked behind Liu Huai and ordered, "Liu Huai, lure the child away."

Liu Huai and Mu Sicheng had worked together so many times that he was familiar with the situation where he needed to deflect hate to protect the other person after a theft, and before his brain could react, Liu Huai subconsciously reached out and stabbed the child with his dagger.

[System Alert: Player Liu Huai stabbed (Freak Child) with his personal skill weapon (Shadow Dagger), Freak Child got very angry and decided to call him!

The child screams again and lunges towards Liu Huai, but at the same time Liu Huai's phone rings more and more frequently.

Liu Huai cursed Bai Liu for what he was doing, as more and more children flocked to his side with syringes in their hands. What the hell is he doing?

As more and more children followed the sound of the phone, Liu Huai's face broke into a cold sweat.

But the next second, the phone on Liu Huai's body rang once before Bai Liu suddenly said, "Liu Huai, pick up the phone."

Liu Huai is going crazy: "If you pick up the phone, you'll be quickly located by the freakish child who called! The kid on the other end of the line will be able to locate you through the (phone location) skill! I'll be dead!"

"No." Bai Liu holds up a huge black phone and lifts his eyes to Liu Huai, "Because it's me who's calling you."

"Investors' phones can't call each other!" Liu Huai's head was spinning, "The phones here are designed to be one-way, only kids can call investors, I can't answer your phone! You can't even call-"

"I told you to pick up." Bai Liu repeated in an extremely indifferent tone, his eyes revealing a coldness with a bit of very light killing intent, while his tone was still conciliatory, "You can answer this call, don't make me repeat it a third time."

Liu Huai's breath caught in his throat at the emotionless look in Bai Liu's eyes and he immediately pressed the answer button, but his ringing stopped abruptly and the sound of Bai Liu's calm breathing was heard on the other side.

The children searching for Liu Huai in the darkness by the sound of the phone are confused, holding up syringes, and only one child without a phone in his hand is running after Liu Huai, who looks in dismay at the phone in Bai Liu's hand - it is not Bai Liu's own phone, but the phone of It was not Bai Liu's own phone, but the phone of these deformed children, so that they could call him.

Bai Liu when did he steal this phone?! No why is he able to steal from monsters?! Isn't he a control skill?

While Liu Huai was still thinking in shock, Bai Liu approached a child once more without hesitation, his monkey paws flickering harshly and calmly, not at all like an unscrupulous adult who would rob a child.

The deformed child who had been robbed reacted in a dumbfounded way for a moment, looking at his empty hands, and soon tears filled his eyes and he began to sob.

"Oooooooh, the investors took my phone, give it back!"

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has used Player Mu Sicheng's personal skill (Thief Monkey Paw) to steal (Deformed Child)'s phone, Player Bai Liu is running out of stamina! Please rest quickly to replenish your strength!

Bai Liu almost fell to one knee as his legs gave out and he leaned against the wall to catch his breath, having used Mu Sicheng's (Thief Sneak) skill in the ICU, forcing him to rely on natural rest for at least a day before he was unable to receive his stamina supplements.

But he had only been resting in Muke's ward for a few hours and had only recovered enough strength to use the skill (Thief's Monkey Paw) barely twice.

Using the A+ skill is still too taxing for a player of Bai Liu's F rank.

"Liu Huai!" Bai Liu called out a little weakly as the deformed child whose phone Bai Liu had stolen approached Bai Liu, raising the syringe high and stabbing him viciously.

Liu Huai woke up and stabbed him with a dagger. The child was stabbed in the back, screamed in dismay and turned with tears of blood in his eyes and staggered towards Liu Huai with a syringe in his hand.

[System Alert: Player Liu Huai used his personal skill (Shadow Stab) to slash (the deformed child), the deformed child was aggravated and angry, he decided to give the bad guy who hurt him a shot first]

Bai Liu leans against the wall, Muke and his phone are ringing, Bai Liu dials Muke's number quickly, after several busy lines, Muke's phone finally comes through, Bai Liu turns his head to Xiang Muke: "Pick it up."

Muke quickly picks up the phone and his phone stops ringing, the children who are approaching Xiang Muke become headless, but soon as Bai Liu's phone rings, the children approach Bai Liu again, Muke looks nervously at Bai Liu: " Bai Liu, your phone is still ringing! "

"Right." Bai Liu exhaled calmly, "But I don't have the stamina to steal a third phone."

Muke panics, realising that Bai Liu is now in a very poor state and that he has taken a great risk to save him, Muke approaches Bai Liu, who is surrounded by deformed children, and tries to stand in front of them.

He was on the verge of tears: "What about you?! You should have just called yourself! What's the point of calling me!"

Bai Liu took a few cold steps back, "Stay away from me Muke, I don't mind just getting you killed if you keep doing this death-defying waste of life value."

Muke's face staggered and he was at a standstill, a little helpless, aware that Bai Liu was still angry with him, and this was more than death to him.

Bai Liu looked at Muke for a second and gasped and gave Muke an order, "...... you run quickly back to 501, this is Liu Huai's ward, Liu Huai and I will help you to distract these children and the nurses, you run fast and be careful to avoid the children. "

After saying that, he saw Muke biting his lower lip and not moving, looking at Bai Liu pitifully and not leaving, obviously not wanting to leave Bai Liu alone and run away on his own, with a resigned expression of [what will you do alone], looking not much worse than the deformed child who was robbed of his phone by Bai Liu.

Bai Liu finally sighed with a bit of a headache and held his forehead as he tossed the snatched phone in his hand to Muke: "You run back and then call me on this phone to dull my ringing so I'll be fine."

Muke nodded his head in a bit of a panic, his spirits restored and his strength still intact, and after being instructed to grit his teeth and run up the stairs to the safe passage where the children were still present, Bai Liu watched Muke's back as he ran like a madman.

Bai Liu's breathing was a bit laboured, his terminally ill body had been tossed around for two days in a row and was really being consumed by himself to the point where he was almost at his limit.

Muke, the guy, is just a bit childish, really treating him like a mastermind, reinforcing his position while overly weakening his presence and role, which is not good, he only has 6 life points in this capacity and Muke clearly only trusts him in this capacity, which is why the guy gets the idea to die with him or for him.

But Muke couldn't die, and in a copy of the game that required a lot of information processing, Bai Liu felt that Muke's role was clearly greater than his, and Muke's performance proved it.

Even without him, Muke could have taken the initiative by relying on his excellent memory to compile this [recipe for renewal] after joining Miao Feichi and his son.

As long as Muke is able to keep little Bai six alive with the cooperation of little Bai six, then Bai Liu can at least pass the level, but on the other hand, Bai Liu as a target to be killed by Miao Feichi and his father and son, and his memory is also average, the overall evaluation of all aspects, Bai Liu with little Muke is far less likely to pass the level safely than Muke with little Bai six. The likelihood of Bai Liu getting through safely with little Muke is much lower than the likelihood of Muke getting through safely with little Bai six.

With Liu Huai in particular, Muke's chances of getting through with little Bai six have more than doubled.

Bai Liu looks up at Liu Huai over there, his phone still ringing on his belt, the kid rustling around in a weird crawling position holding up a syringe towards him, but he really doesn't have much strength left to run.

At a time like this, Bai Liu could say anything nice outwardly, and he opened his arms lazily to Liu Huai, "Great Assassin, now that you're running alone with me, you should be able to move faster than these kids, right?"

"Yes." Liu Huai simply responded.

In the next moment, a dagger flew across the room and stuck into the wall above Bai Liu's head, and with a few fluid jumps, Liu Huai stepped on the wall behind Bai Liu.

With one hand across his chest in a circle, Liu Huai slashed away from the deformed child approaching Bai Liu, and with the other hand he lifted Bai Liu by the back of his collar, and at the last moment when Bai Liu was about to be stabbed in the neck by the child, he lifted the man, who was so weak that he was gasping for breath, out of the way. The other hand lifted Bai Liu by the back of his collar and, at the last moment when he was about to be stabbed in the neck by the child, lifted the man, who was so weak that he could hardly speak, out of the circle of the monstrous child.

Liu Huai throws his wrists and arms out, throwing Bai Liu right out of the ring.

The circle changed from Bai Liu to Liu Huai, but the phone on Liu Huai's body did not ring and could not be called in because he was talking to Bai Liu, and without the phone ringing to locate it, many of the children looked confused.

And soon the phone rings on Bai Liu's side.

The children's black and red eyes looked eerily at Bai Liu, who had just stood up, and approached him in various contorted positions, while over there Liu Huai drew his dagger and flung it, stomped on the wall, and with a few lightning fast horizontal jumps approached Bai Liu.

Liu Huai appeared behind Bai Liu as if in a flash, dragging him behind the collar of Bai Liu's wide hospital gown, Liu Huai darted across the wall, tugging Bai Liu's collar and sliding across the slippery ground.

If being carried by Mu Sicheng is a windy, fast train experience, being carried by Liu Huai is like sitting on a low-flying swallow, a light and silent movement, with the occasional tail nudging the water and stopping for a moment.

The alternation of these two very different ways of moving is one of the reasons why the previous collaboration between Mu Sicheng and Liu Huai was so effective in hoisting these monsters around.

The monstrous children behind him are in hot pursuit, and if they are about to catch up, Liu Huai throws Bai Liu, whose phone has been ringing, out to attract these children, before switching positions, in the same way that he had previously worked with Mu Sicheng to shift the hate value, which reminds Liu Huai in a bit of a trance of the time when he and Mu Sicheng worked seamlessly together.

But soon Liu Huai came back to his senses at Bai Liu's soft voice: "The sound of my phone stopped, Muke was running quite fast. He must have gone back to call me, let's take the safe passage up, there's no nurse there."

Bai Liu and Liu Huai were stalling for time to call Muke once he was safely in his room, to deactivate the [phone tracking] function of this deformed child of his, a private hospital with only two ways to get upstairs, the safe passage and the lift, which was guarded by a nurse and was too passive to be caught and would probably not be able to attend the baptism the next day. They could only go up the stairs.

Given that he could only use his skill twice to grab two phones to keep both of them from ringing, Bai Liu chose what he thought was the best value for money - leaving Liu Huai, who was the fastest mover, and Muke, who he needed to ensure survived, safe first.

In this way, Bai Liu places himself in the most risky scenario, where he is the only one whose phone is ringing.

But Bai Liu feels that it doesn't matter, he is indeed the least valuable of the characters at the moment.

Even if Liu Huai had missed and left him dead with only 6 life points, Bai Liu would not have felt sorry for him, but Liu Huai protected him more than he thought, allowing Bai Liu to return safely to Ward 501 without losing a single life point, only to fall a few times when Liu Huai threw him out.

501, Liu Huai's ward.

Muke crouches on the floor in a cold sweat, covering his heart - a heart patient can't run too fast, let alone up the stairs, and he's just run for his life to get back to the ward and call Bai Liu as quickly as possible, which has caused him to be in a particularly bad way, unable to breathe at all, so he crouches on the floor in a ball and breathes heavily. He could only curl up in a ball and squat on the floor, breathing heavily.

Liu Huai is also sitting on the edge of the bed, gasping for breath with a dagger in each hand, and his hospital gown is soaked through.

Dragging Bai Liu around at high speed is not something Liu Huai is used to doing, and his stamina slot is not as high as Mu Sicheng's, who is a relatively stronger thief, so dragging Bai Liu around in pursuit is also very strenuous for Liu Huai.

Drops of sweat slid down Liu Huai's jaw and were wiped away by his panting hands as he leaned back and poured himself a bottle of stamina restorer.

Overall, Bai Liu looks to be in the best shape of the three, but that's all.

Bai Liu's stamina was also depleted, and with only 6 life points, Bai Liu's physical condition slipped to its lowest point.

Bai Liu sits on the edge of the straw bed he has been reluctant to touch, both hands resting feebly on his knees, fingers gently curled and trembling, his head bowed as he slowly reverts to adjusting his breathing rate, his chest rising and falling in deep ranges, his face a little frighteningly white.

When Muke saw Bai Liu's condition, he tried to crouch down and look at him, but when he took a step, Bai Liu, with his elbows on his knees, lifted his head.

He looked at Xiang Muke without any emotion in his eyes.

Bai Liu looked at Muke, who was trying to approach him, with such serenity and indifference that Muke's heart shuddered with a somewhat cold and disgusted look, as if he was looking at a disobedient tool.

Muke subconsciously halts his approach to Bai Liu.

" Muke ." Bai Liu lifted his eyes sickly, "Who gave you the right to cross me and let yourself die?"

"Your soul belongs to me, I have the right to dispose of every single one of your life values, you can only die when I tell you to, before I give the order -" Bai Liu looked at Muke, who was shivering a little, without a trace of emotion on his face. I hope there won't be a next time I see you giving me orders like [delete me], we have a one-way relationship, that is, only I give orders to you, I have the right not to accept or execute all your orders, understood? "

Muke looked at Bai Liu a little confused, like a child who had done something wrong, and when he realised that Bai Liu was really serious about this, he nodded in a panic, "I understand."

"As punishment for taking matters into your own hands." Bai Liu said lightly, "All your point rewards for this game pass belong to me, do you have any comments?"

Muke drops his head and picks at his fingers, "...... no."

After a while, Muke suddenly began to sob with his head down, he was trying hard to hold it back, but the violent mix of emotions that came with coming back from the dead, and as soon as he was safe, he was scolded and punished by Bai Liu in such a way that he crouched on the ground, huddled in a small ball on his knees, tears streaming from his eyes, which he wiped roughly and casually with his sleeve, trying desperately to control. He wiped his sleeve rudely and casually, trying desperately to control his indefatigable tears.

His anger at his own powerlessness, his helplessness at having dragged Bai Liu to his rescue, his efforts to sacrifice himself to protect Bai Liu, and the indifference and disapproval he received from Bai Liu in the end, as well as the emotions he felt after being pulled out of death by Bai Liu once again, mixed into a pile of grievances that Muke could not understand, making him want to cry uncontrollably.

"What are you crying about?" Bai Liu's tone took on a little more of a sigh, "Look up, Muke, do you have any complaints about my decisions?"

Muke's eyes and nose were red from crying, and he looked up, tears dripping from his eyelashes to the floor, and he hiccupped from crying so hard he couldn't even speak very well: "No, hiccup, discontent."

"So what are you crying about?" Bai Liu asked softly.

Seeing Muke sobbing and looking at him stubbornly without speaking, Bai Liu hit the straight and narrow, "I order you to tell me why you are crying. "

"I am, Buming White." Muke cried out, "Why did you come to save me, I'm not worth anything anymore and I'll get you into trouble, what if you die, I'm sure I can't get through this alone, I'm going to die anyway, if only I, oooooooooooooooooh, if only I were Mu Sicheng, he'd be able to help you more here."

"Everything but that last little part tonight, whether it was pretending to be a normal player to blend in with Miao Feichi's team, dodging that lie detector scale, and finally reading all the books and still effectively passing me the message [of the renewal formula]." Bai Liu looked at Muke, his tone easing as he calmly elaborated, "You accomplished all of these things very well, and they were things that Mu Sicheng couldn't do for me, or even myself, only you could."

"You may have no value in your own eyes." Bai Liu strokes the top of the baffled Muke's head and he relaxes, smiling lightly soothingly, "But in my eyes, you have a very important, irreplaceable value to me in being alive, so I'm here to save you."

Muke's eyes reflect the gentle smile of Bai Liu, and if it had been Mu Sicheng, he would have immediately told Muke to run! That's Bai Liu's soothing, fake business-like smile! It's used to deceive people!

Muke could feel it too, but he knew Bai Liu was telling the truth and his eyes soon became hazy.

"I was scared, I thought I was really going to die, there was nothing I could do." Muke bawled and wiped his tears on his sleeve like a child who had been bullied outside and was telling his parents off, "I tried really hard, I did everything I could to survive! But that monster was too good! He's suddenly... alive!"

Bai Liu interrupted him, "You didn't use everything you had to survive."

Muke cried and looked at Bai Liu, who was crying so hard that he had the guts to contradict Bai Liu: "I really did!"

"You haven't asked me for help yet." Bai Liu said calmly, "Remember to try using that in the future, but all in all, good job tonight, Muke."

He patted Muke on the head like a kindergarten teacher rewarding a child for winning a red flower.

Muke was dazed by the pat on the head, his eyes completely bursting with tears.

"Oooooooooooooo!" Muke couldn't stop crying, "Oooooh, yes, yes! I'll remember next time, for sure, for sure!"
