Chapter 94: Loving Orphanage

Looking at Muke who was crying, Bai Liu tried several times to get Muke to stop, but it didn't work. Even when Bai Liu used words like "I order you not to cry", Muke just covered his mouth and stopped crying, but his eyes were still dropping tears in bata bata, and he said with a special pitying sob that he couldn't stop and that it might take a few more minutes.

Muke doesn't think he is a crier, but for some reason when he sees Bai Liu, he is like a child who has been wronged and sees his parents, who allow him to complain.

Although he felt a bit ashamed, he just couldn't help it.

Muke lowered his head in shame, while feeling a ...... little ...... subtle pleasure.

Bai Liu ignored Muke, who was trying to whimper, and turned to Liu Huai, who was looking a bit puzzled.

Liu Huai has a face full of [is this how you usually fool your teammates?

Bai Liu ignored it and started another conversation in a calm and very serious tone, "Let's talk about the next plan?"

Liu Huai's eyes were complicated as he looked at Bai Liu, and after watching the whole process of Bai Liu's fooling Muke, Liu Huai sighed in frustration, "I still can't believe how easily I was convinced by you, I'm going against Miao Feichi on your team, even if Even if I get through this game, I'll still have a lot of trouble to follow."

"But if you're not on my team, you and your sister will have a hard time even getting through this game." Bai Liu raised his eyes, "And your sister Liu Jiayi will most likely be directly blood sacrificed by Miao Feichi, or eaten."

Convincing Liu Huai was a simple matter for Bai Liu, and finding Liu Huai and bringing him in was also a very simple idea.

The monster in Muke's room comes back to life, and Bai Liu has to break into the ICU one more time surrounded by nurses if he is to get Muke out of the ICU when the Mu Sicheng speed skill has been used up.

Bai Liu could not do it alone, and he could not let Miao Feichi do it again. The most you can do is trick Miao Gaojiang, a player with low movement speed who is resistant to monsters, into going through.

But Miao Gaojiang was not very useful for Bai Liu, who needed to escape.

Bai Liu needs a player with high movement speed, who is good at concealment and escaping, and who Bai Liu knows has good control of his weaknesses - there is no better candidate than Liu Huai.

Liu Huai is on the fifth floor, as is Miao Feichi, and finding this man's ward is easy. There are only three new patients on the fifth floor - Miao Feichi, Miao Gaojiang and Liu Huai.

The new patient's ward was marked differently, except for Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang's ward, which was Liu Huai, and with Bai Liu holding two heavyweight chips, Liu Jiayi and the [Life-Sustaining Remedy], it didn't take him even a minute to convince Liu Huai.

Liu Huai collapsed onto the hospital bed with his head on his back, his eyes a little slack as he stared up at the foggy ceiling: "You're saying Jiayi will be a target for us [investors] to hunt, that we need the blood of that pile of kids to water the bed to survive?"

"Firstly, it is not exactly that we need her blood to water the bed in order to survive, but that you need to survive after eating the blood lingzhi that grows out of this bed after absorbing her blood, she is the [recipe for life] of this terminally ill patient of yours." Bai Liu patted this bed on which Liu Huai was lying.

Liu Huai raised her hand over her eyes and pursed her lips as if she were running away from something.

Bai Liu then looked up at Liu Huai, gestured a two and said calmly, "Secondly, as I told you, Liu Jiayi is not just a hunting target for [the investors], her blindness puts her at a disadvantage in the children's ranks as well."

Bai Liu's tone was unhurried: "You should know, Liu Huai, that on the children's side there is also an underage Miao Feichi who likes to eat children's flesh, and my little friend said that Miao Feichi likes to gobble after Liu Jiayi. Liu Jiayi, a little girl who is invisible, is at an absolute disadvantage in every way and is a very good target for little Miao Feichi."

"One could say that your sister Liu Jiayi is, on some level, a double-hunting target."

Liu Huai slowly clenched his fists, lowered his hand over his eyes and turned his head to look straight at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu went on flatly, "And I, I promise my little friend will protect your sister, and the fact that your sister managed to call you tonight is one of the results of my little friend's protection, and I said I would protect Liu Jiayi because she is also the child my friend wants to adopt."

Liu Huai took a deep breath and sat up, he sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Bai Liu: "I believe this now, so what do you say, what do we do next?"

"The logical thought process for this game has been largely clear." Bai Liu leans back, casually opens a drawer from Liu Huai's bedside table, pulls a pen out of it, and then from somewhere the man pulls a roughly blank book title page, lowers his head and begins to write and draw on it to begin his analysis.

Bai Liu used to write briefly when analysing the ground, his pen tapped on the paper and began to write the key words: [secondary game] [50-80]

As she writes, Bai Liu speaks, "The Caring Home is a secondary game with a mortality rate of at least fifty percent, a game that splits our life values, dividing us into two different identity lines, [adults] and [children], each with fifty percent of the life value."

Bai Liu wrote two [50s] on his paper and then typed an arrow against each other in the middle of the two [50s], "But our two identity lines weren't really a partnership from the start, because this game obviously only survives fifty percent of the players, so a more logical setup would be for us and this group of kids who share a lifebar progress bar with an adversarial relationship."

That's why Bai Liu was wary of the little Bai six, because in a way...

"We are enemies with this group of children." Bai Liu faintly glanced up at Liu Huai, whose face was somewhat sunken, as he continued his narrative, "And this [renewal formula] finally validated my idea."

"For our group [of investors] to survive we have to draw the blood of the corresponding children, and judging from the time course of that Mother Goose nursery rhyme - [born on Monday, baptised on Tuesday, married on Wednesday, seriously ill on Thursday, critically ill on Friday, sick and dead on Saturday, and in the ground on Sunday], we have to be at least seriously ill, that is the blood of this group of children is drawn by Thursday in order to survive successfully, otherwise [after being seriously ill] we will die after one day."

Bai Liu wrote a [ddl] (dead line) on the paper: [three days later].

"And the same goes for this group of children, who have to escape from the Care and Attention Home by Thursday to avoid being drawn by us to survive successfully, so their main task is to escape from the Home."

Bai Liu tapped his pen with his fingers, as if in thought: "Actually, I feel that little Bai six, my little friend, has sensed the confrontation between us, but this act of handing over my own handle to him before made him realise what I was up to and allowed him to do as he pleased to obliterate my life, and this level of delivery made him finally choose to enter into a partnership with me."

Liu Huai stared blankly at Bai Liu, who had only 6 life points, and the moment he met Bai Liu's unmoving eyes, Liu Huai shuddered, and he suddenly understood what Bai Liu was going to do.

"Once again, you would give your life for your sister, wouldn't you?" Bai Liu lifted his eyes to look at God Xiang Xiang's obscurely coloured Buming Liu Huai, his tone was calm, quiet enough not to sound like he was talking about his own life or death, "Muke and I are nearing the end of our lives, I'm sure you can see the approach on our side."

Bai Liu said with unparalleled calmness, "We keep it small, not big."

The reason why little Bai six was willing to trust him in the end was because Bai Liu was willing to sacrifice himself for little Bai six so that little Bai six could live, and for this Bai Liu willingly gave up the leverage that would allow little Bai six to strangle himself easily.

And little Bai six understands this and is curious about Bai Liu's total dedication and sacrifice for no reason, which is what Bai Liu wants, and no one knows better than him how to win the trust of his fourteen-year-old self - that is to be the kind of person to whom Lu Yizhan can sacrifice himself for no reason. to him.

Fourteen-year-old Bai Liu trusts Lu Yizhan's type because, between hurting himself and hurting Bai Liu, he knows that Lu Yizhan will choose to hurt himself.

Then the little Bai six, now fourteen years old in the game, would trust the current [investor] Bai Liu, who becomes his own [Lu Yizhan] - the [investor] who would be selflessly devoted to him, even giving his life.

Liu Huai's face is cloudy.

Bai Liu withdrew his wandering gaze as if he had not seen Liu Huai's face and continued to look at the paper in his hands.

Bai Liu was not affected at all by Liu Huai's struggling emotions, but continued his analysis impassively: "And in my opinion, if just taking a child's blood can instill a blood lingzhi that can save us should be unlikely, because this is a game with a minimum mortality rate of fifty percent, and if just obtaining one's child blood to survive without any problems, I don't think it's a normal mortality rate for a level two game."

While speaking, Bai Liu writes [6] → [3] on the paper.

"So if you look at it from that perspective, there's more to this game that's set up, if you look at it purely in the range of eighty to fifty percent mortality rate for a secondary game, it's a six-player death game, the number of players that would die would be between three and 4.8."

Bai Liu simply sketched out an image of a little girl on paper with a few strokes: "But what's also special about this copy of us is that there's another player on the child's side, namely Liu Jiayi."

Hearing the name [Liu Jiayi] appear, Liu Huai's gaze settled on Bai Liu's face.

Bai Liu continued as if nothing had happened: "With a total of only five children to take blood from, assuming a minimum mortality rate of fifty percent, only three players would need to die, assuming Liu Jiayi was drawn and died to make up for one of the deaths, and assuming the surviving players were all of us [investors]. "

Bai Liu, with his eyes focused on the paper, writes: [Maximum clearance efficiency for investors].

"Then with all of the above conditions most favorable to the investor being met, a maximum of three investors would survive, and with that ratio and the premise of a fifty percent mortality rate, it would take a minimum of roughly 1.6 children's blood for an [investor] to clear a bed."

Bai Liu wrote a [1.6] on his paper and he drew a small circle around each of the [1] and the [6] after the decimal point.

His eyes were serene: "So who is this [1] and who is this [0.6], and the game has hinted at the obvious."

"The child we invest in is our core blood-taking child, that [1], and by watering our bed with the blood of our invested child, and adding almost 0.6 or so of one other child's blood, we can bear the blood lingzhi that will provide maximum relief from the terminal illness." Bai Liu drew a cross with a calm face and blotted out that [1.6], "but that option was ruled out for me because the pass was too low value for money."

"The probability that an investor pass will require the blood of 1.6 children to pass with maximum cost effectiveness in all respects is high, so sacrificing one investor to not take blood will in other words keep 1.6 children safe."

"We, the blood-sucking adults, are far less valuable than them surviving, and it's cost-effective to get through." Bai Liu draws a protective shield on top of the Liu Jiayi sketch of a little girl he has drawn on paper, looks up at Liu Huai and continues, "So I finally decided to prioritise the life value of the kids' side of the game, this [life-sustaining remedy] won't work for me and Muke, we won't go this side of the main line We're not going to go this side of the main quest."

Bai Liu said, looking at a pale Liu Huai and pausing meaningfully: "But again, your situation and mine are different. Although we have chosen to sacrifice ourselves to protect our young selves, if the plan works, we ourselves will not die and we can pass. "

"But you, Liu Huai, you are not like us. " Bai Liu looked obscurely at Liu Huai who said nothing, "You and Liu Jiayi are two separate and hostile individuals, if you choose to prioritise Liu Jiayi's preservation, there is a high probability that you will die because you will not receive blood."

"So how do you choose?"

He looks up at Liu Huai with a look of serious concentration and thoughtfulness, as if he were observing a different kind of creature.

-- How far could Liu Huai go for his sister? Is this man's spoken love for his sister really like that strange guy Lu Yizhan, where people can really give up all their interests for such an unwarranted emotion?

Especially since Liu Huai is a man with a strong desire to live - Bai Liu thought absently as his pen ran over the protective shield he had casually drawn to represent Liu Jiayi's little girl, which was soon covered with strange black dots, as if the shield had been overshadowed.

Liu Huai sits on the edge of the bed like a silent plant, his hands hanging at his side with the dagger, silent and numb, but breathing heavily.

Bai Liu quickly withdrew his gaze, seeing in Liu Huai's face a struggle and fear that twisted and grimaced all his features, a fear of the unknown approaching that he could not control.

The fear and hesitation were so real, Liu Huai's fear and retreat from death made the love he claimed to have for Liu Jiayi, which he would sacrifice everything for, seem like an external signal of self-motivation, and Bai Liu soon felt bored, he stopped watching Liu Huai and thought indifferently - "This is no different from those [love] he has seen before. This was no different from the self-righteous [love] he had seen before.

Bai Liu thought he could see something in Liu Huai that he couldn't understand in Lu Yizhan, but in the end it was the same, like sugar cane crumbs chewed up between one's mouth and tongue a million times [I love you], [I would give everything for you] and so on.

But what is spat out has no taste at all, the only sweetness is for oneself and ends up giving others spittle crumbs stained with self-touching, crumbly, worthless rubbish.

People are still selfish after all.

Bai Liu opened scatteredly, "If you want to pass as an investor, I can also have little Bai six help you extract ......" Liu Jiayi's blood.

" Bai Liu, if I die, will your friends really adopt Jiajia ?" Liu Huai looked at Bai Liu, who still had that look of fear and dread on his face, and some vague apprehension.

Liu Huai looks like a fosterer who has been forced to divest herself of her cubs, with a nervous unease on her face: " Jiajia can't see and is clinging to me, I'm afraid she'll be alone when I'm gone, I feel your friend is very nice, take good care of her, if you'd like to help with her eyes... ..."

It's actually a bit incongruous that the not-yet-graduated university student starts rambling on about the dos and don'ts of raising a human cub, which makes him more of a mature, Liu Fu and Xiang Chunhua-aged parent.

The look of fear on Liu Huai's face never diminished, but all he said was about Liu Jiayi, as if he was more afraid that his death would make life difficult for Liu Jiayi than his death itself.

"She doesn't like to sleep alone at night, she has a little bear that I sewed for her, it's a bit old but she loves it, if you take her out of the orphanage, remember to take it with you, she doesn't talk much but she's very good, she's just scared when she can't hear all the time, just put the TV on for her, she likes hamsters but she's a bit careless with her hands, don't buy her one, she'll cry if she dies Very bad ......"

Bai Liu was quiet for a long time, he looked at Liu Huai and interrupted him, "Have you really thought about sacrificing yourself for your sister?"

Liu Huai was quiet for a second: "It doesn't require thinking."

"I got into this game to give her a brighter future, but it all starts with her being alive."

Liu Huai's thoughts were clear as he looked at Bai Liu and he gave that ugly, bitter smile, " Bai Liu, if only I were as good a player as you and Mu Sicheng, but I'm not, there's nothing I can do to bring her a brighter future, but there's something I can do, I'll fight to keep her alive, that's It's the only thing I can do for her."

"Actually, death is not a hard thing to accept." Liu Huai seems to be relieved as he slumps his shoulders and shakes his head a bit dazedly, as if reassuring himself, "I knew this day would come sooner or later when I entered this game, but Jiajia doesn't have a good trust yet, she hasn't seen what I look like yet, and it's always hard to resign. ......"

But there was no point in being resigned, this game was about Liu Jiayi living or dying, and this cruel game did not give him the chance to be more resigned.

"If, if I could live by killing any of them, I'd do anything to try ......" Liu Huai went quiet, and he slumped his shoulders and remained silent for a long time.

Tears slipped from Liu Huai's eyes and fell on the dagger he was clutching - the dagger he had used to kill his best friend in order to survive.

But in the end, he met the one person he could not betray.

Bai Liu didn't bother him, either. Liu Huai sat on the edge of the bed where the blood was supposed to be poured, pale as a corpse about to lie in a coffin, his hand shaking slightly as he gripped the dagger, which Bai Liu found ridiculous - Liu Huai was only now fearing for his death.

When he knew he was going to die, Liu Huai's first thought was Liu Jiayi and then himself, a subconscious emotional reaction that Bai Liu found incredible.

Liu Huai smiled miserably with his head down, clenched his fists, took a deep breath and raised his head again.

" Bai Liu, I remember that your personal skill is trading, if I die I can, can take you a very useful thing." Liu Huai looked at Bai Liu, his whole body showed a very tired decadence, his face wore a very virtual and like relief empty eyes, only fear and tears in his eyes, he grabbed Bai Liu's hand, his tone choked, " but only if you help me ...... "

"Let Liu Jiayi see again huh?" Bai Liu said, looking at Liu Huai's tired, weary and desperate face and calmly shifting his eyes back, "Wait until you're dead, I don't do short sales."
