Xiao Muke was a little overwhelmed: "...why won't we be taken away on the baptism day?"

Xiaobai Liu: "According to my conventional understanding of baptism, we should not be eligible to have our blood drawn before baptism, because we were sinful before baptism, and only the blood of the Lord can wash away our sins."

Xiao Bailiu lazily hiccupped while talking, he stayed up late for two consecutive days, he was really sleepy: "And you haven't noticed yet? These [kids playing the flute] are saving people."

Xiao Muke was startled: "Save people?"

"Yes, save people." Xiao Bailiu closed his eyes again, put his hands together on his chest, and lay down peacefully, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second. "They have infusion tubes and infusion fluids on them." The bags should have come from a private hospital, so I guess they know what children those terminally ill investors are going to have their blood drawn next, so they are taking away those children who are selected to have their blood drawn."

"For example, the child in our room was taken away. I saw that the dean took him to register during the day, saying that there are [investors] who want to adopt him." Xiao Bailiu said calmly, "Adopted What will happen after that, I believe you can see clearly in your dream, Mu Ke."

Xiao Muke couldn't help shivering when he thought of the blood-drawing torture in his dream.

Xiao Bai Liu continued without any fluctuation: "And it is precisely because of this, if I guessed correctly, the children who were taken away first saw what might happen to them in the future under the hypnosis of [the sound of the flute], and then I saw this group of children who looked exactly the same after their blood was drawn in their dreams."

"The group of [kids playing the flute] should have expressed to them that they are the victims of this blood draw. We will take you to a safe place and you will never come back, so this group of children took the initiative to follow this group soberly. The weird-looking [kid playing the flute] is leaving, and he is still walking so happily."

Xiao Bailiu paused: "And our [investor] has given up drawing us blood, so we are safe even after being baptized."

"Because we don't need to be saved, they won't take us."

Xiao Muke was lying on the bed, turned sideways to look at Xiao Bailiu who seemed to be fast asleep, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "...Xiao Bailiu, why are you so sure that your [investor] won't hide it behind your back?" Secretly register, want to take you away and draw your blood?"

Xiao Bailiu breathed evenly, did not answer Xiao Muke, seemed to have fallen asleep, Xiao Muke sighed sadly, and muttered a few words Xiaobailiu, you are so credulous about your [investor], who is more naive? Then he thought about it, and fell asleep worrying.

At the last moment when Xiao Muke was about to fall asleep, he seemed to hear Xiao Bailiu's calm answer in his half-dream and half-waking state: "If he lied to me, I will kill him."

In the dark night of the children's bedroom, there were still two pairs of eyes open stiffly.

Xiao Miao Fei Chi and Xiao Miao Gao Zang tremblingly hid under the quilt. After listening to the conversation between Xiao Mu Ke and Xiao Bai Liu, they also saw the terrifying [kid playing the flute] who broke in. It seemed that it was because of them Both were awake, and the kid playing the flute hovered directly above them for a long time.

Now the children of these two s-level players who have not gone through various terrorist incidents in the game and later became famous are so frightened that they are covered in cold sweat and dare not move. In the final analysis, their childhoods were just ordinary people.

Maybe they can't be regarded as ordinary people, after all, they also have the courage to kill their mothers after they grow up, and condone their children to kill their wives and eat their corpses.

But what he killed was his terminally ill mother (wife), a useless woman, how could it be the same thing as being killed?

Xiao Miao's stiff clothes were covered in cold sweat, she could only maintain her composure, and she was terribly frightened.

As for Xiao Miao Fei Chi, who has the guts to scald his terminally ill mother to death with boiling water, and likes to eat children's meat, he can't accept being treated like this at all--thinking that he will have his blood drawn in the future to become that dry only With skin and bones left, Xiao Miao Feichi was so frightened that he almost collapsed, and his feet twitched a few times uncontrollably.

Even though he covered his head with the quilt, he let out a frightened whimper that he tried to suppress but could still hear.

Hearing two heavy breathing sounds and a little crying sound from the bedroom, Xiao Bai Liu An Ning, who seemed to have been asleep for a long time, suddenly evoked a strange smile on his face.

—————

At 6:15 on Tuesday morning, Bai Liu's phone rang on time.

"Good morning, Mr. Investor." Xiao Bailiu greeted politely, "I found out last night..."

"A kid playing the flute?" Bai Liu opened his system panel and asked interestingly.

[Renewal of "Love Welfare Institute Monster Book" - Deformed Children (1/3)]

[Monster Name: Deformed Child (Furious Version After Drawing Blood)]

【Characteristics: I like to haunt and take away children late at night】

【weakness:? ? ? (to be explored)]

[Attack method: blood injection (a+), phone location (a+)]

[Trigger new attack method: little urchin playing the flute, A-level skill, can be used to lure away the player's secondary identity line with the sound of the flute]

[Congratulations to the player Bai Liu for collecting the attack methods of the deformed child]

Xiao Bailiu was quiet for a moment, he didn't ask why Bai Liu knew what happened to them, but continued to report without fluctuation: "Yes, it appeared at about two o'clock in the morning, in the mode of sleep hypnosis, I can see investors drawing blood for themselves in the future..."

After listening to Xiao Bailiu's report quietly, Bai Liu thought deeply, "It seems that the deformed child is on the same side as you, and that's right, you are all victims. The deformed child who chases you every night is probably related to this flute-playing child. Same, even if you are missing, the main purpose is to take you away and hide you to protect you, in fact, it is to prevent me from finding you."

But where is it hidden - a group of ghost children can hide a group of real children so that the living can't find them at all, so it's hard to say whether they are hidden in the underworld or the underworld. Bai Liu thinks that the children taken away by these children may be another child. Death on one level is nothing more than euthanasia.

Judging from the scene where the child is taken away in "The Piper in Pied Dress", the child should also be drowned, but he died happily to the sound of the flute.

Xiao Bailiu's point of view is consistent with Bai Liu's. He said coldly: "I don't think it's protection, it should be death. If you take away children every night, I don't think you guys are very rich with such a large number of children. The [investors] will not be found, and I don't think one group of dead children can house another group of children."

"Yes, but there are indeed places that can be used." Bai Liu narrowed his eyes, "These children playing the flute should know how to escape from your fully enclosed orphanage."

Xiaobaixu was silent again: "You need me to escape from this [Loving Welfare Institute]?"

"Yes." Bai Liu said, "but the problem now is, if you run out of the orphanage with these flute-playing children, how will you protect yourself from these children, and you not only have to run, but you also have to take The others run together."

Bai Liu's fingers tapped lightly on the side of the bed twice, and there were many obscure emotions hidden in his eyes: "In this group of people, including Miao Fei Chi and Miao Gao Zhan, you have to take them out, and then—"

"Get rid of them and get blood for you, right?" Xiao Bailiu added calmly, "That's no problem, I can let them follow me, but I have to pay more."

"One hundred thousand per person."

Bai Liu paused inexplicably, and the corners of his lips curled up lazily: "Deal."

"But there are two core points to pay attention to in this transaction. If you violate one of them, the transaction will be void—" Bai Liu added in a leisurely tone, "First, the core task is to escape, but the first guarantee is that you My personal safety, followed by the safety of Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi, if you can’t guarantee it, don’t act rashly.”

"Second point, killing Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang is not a must for you." Bai Liu said softly with drooping eyes, "If possible, I hope you can leave them to me, little Bailiu, after all you are only fourteen I am twenty-four years old, and I may be more suitable for this kind of thing than you, of course, I will pay you the two hundred thousand."

This time, Xiaobai Liu was silent for a long time, and then asked, his voice was a bit of genuine doubt: "Is there any difference between doing this at the age of fourteen and at the age of twenty-four?"

"There is no difference in essence." Bai Liu paused, "But I just don't want you to do it. You can decide whether you want to be a bad person or not after you become an adult and can take responsibility for your actions."

"Let me be the adult now, kid."

After Xiao Bai Liu hung up the phone, Bai Liu looked up at the dark window outside his ward and exhaled, thinking that he was really conditioned by Lu Yizhan.

Just a moment ago, Xiao Bailiu said that he was going to kill someone. Bai Liu's first reaction was that he was instigating a minor to commit a crime. This is a felony. Lu Yizhan was most afraid of him doing this kind of thing. They repeatedly told him not to cooperate with minors to spread rumors and sales, so that even in the game, Bai Liu subconsciously avoided this situation.

But it is indeed better for him to come. After all, the tasks on Xiao Bai Liu's side are troublesome enough. It is not easy for Xiao Bai Liu to kill these two people. Xiao Bai Liu's core task If it's escaping, it's better to leave this kind of task that is prone to accidents in the process of escaping to him.

Nine in the morning.

The broadcast in the ward notifies all patients that they can come out for activities, and informs new patients to watch their children's baptism.

[System prompt: trigger a side mission, and the player who is notified by the child's phone call is invited, and can go to the Charity Welfare Institute to watch the baptism of his investment child]

Bai Liu is now in Mu Ke's ward, and today is the baptism day, but [Bai Liu] is dead, and there will be one less of the five [investors] going to participate in the baptism, and one of Bai Liu and Mu Ke must give up this The side mission is obviously Mu Ke giving up.

Mu Ke's mental state is very poor. He didn't sleep for two consecutive nights and was memorizing things, and he was sucked blood and chased, and cried all night, so now the young master's eyes are swollen like a goldfish, lying on his back sluggishly Stay still in bed.

The young master actually didn't like this sticky straw bed very much, but he really didn't have the energy to care about it now.

Obviously, this young master who used his brain and eyes too much needs a rest, and Bai Liu decided to participate in the baptism as an investor of [Muke].

But it is one thing for Mu Ke to need a rest, but another thing to be able to rest.

He couldn't sleep at all, even if he was so tired that he didn't even want to talk, as soon as Mu Ke closed his eyes, his mind would be filled with all kinds of messy pictures and information, the cerebral cortex that had been kept active because of all kinds of excessive emotions It made him have a splitting headache, even if Bai Liu gave him the bed and slept on the floor by himself, he couldn't fall asleep at all.

Mu Ke saw that Bai Liu stood up from the ground and was about to go out. Mu Ke also struggled and wanted to get up from the bed. He looked at Bai Liu worriedly: "Why don't I go, I am the real Mu Ke after all, they If there are any polygraph props or tricks, I can handle it if I use it."

"No need." Bai Liu tidied up his hospital gown. He slept on the floor last night and used a book to cushion it. He didn't sleep very well, and his face was very tired.

Bai Liu turned to look at Mu Ke on the bed: "I have something to tell you in the hospital to do, and it's something only you can do."

Mu Ke was startled: "What is it?"

"I need you to help me check some people's medical records." Bai Liu said.

The timeline of this copy of the orphanage is ten years ago, which happened to be the time when those entrepreneurs in reality invested in the children's orphanage and started preparing for the first batch of children to enter school.

These two orphanages are two manifestations of the same dungeon. With reference to [Burst Last Train] and [Mirror City Explosion], although the game dungeons and real events are expressed in different forms, the core events are generally the same. ——It is very likely that these seriously ill entrepreneurs also did the same thing to these children, drawing blood to nourish blood and Ganoderma lucidum to treat diseases.

But Lu Yizhan's search made people stunned, and it was useless to find any clues about how these entrepreneurs attacked their children. After all, it has been ten years, and many cases that can be found on them have been completely broken. Those whose blood was drawn Most of the children are already dead, and it is very difficult to catch some clues.

Another thing is that Bai Liu thinks that even if there is a clue, it is estimated that these powerful people have already wiped it out. Otherwise, this group of people will not give up funding the orphanage, so that this kind of place where they have committed crimes is separated from their own. Take control.

In the end, even if Bai Liu got out of the game, he told Lu Yizhan what was going on with the case at the Welfare Institute. Lu Yizhan also believed Bai Liu's superstitious claims, but there was no specific evidence or clues. Yes, there is nothing reputable entrepreneurs can do.

But Bai Liu agreed to help Lu Yizhan investigate this matter, and he also took Lu Yizhan's reward - he likes to do business from beginning to end.

Things that cannot be done outside the game may not be impossible in the game, and clues that do not exist outside the game may not exist in the game.

Bai Liu looked at Mu Ke: "Mu Ke, I'll write you a few names later, the nurses are very lax about the patients during the day, see if you can sneak into the file room where they store patient data and find out the medical records of these people , and then help me remember all of them, especially the name of the child of the medicine primer they used, and the time of each blood collection, it is best to remember all of them, and then tell me when I come back."

The medical record information is quite complicated, and there are several medical record information. It is very difficult for others to remember these galaxies when they sneak into the file room without being discovered by the nurse.

But for Mu Ke, it was a very simple matter, he nodded without thinking: "Yes, please tell me the name of the patient."

Bai Liu said a few names, and asked Mu Ke: "Have you remembered the names of these people?"

Mu Ke nodded, and after nodding, he frowned slightly, and asked in doubt: "These are entrepreneurs in reality, they should be ordinary people, right? How could their names appear in the file room in this game?"

Bai Liu lowered his eyelids: "They may not be ordinary people, they should be like monsters in this game, and, if possible, Mu Ke, try to remember the names of all registered investor patients in the medical record room as much as possible .”

Mu Ke was stunned: "...Do you want to remember everything? Why?"

"A large children's welfare institution that has been in operation for ten years and has only recently begun to lose investment..." Bai Liu paused subtly.

"The investment cost of large private children's welfare homes is huge. If there is no relatively large interest chain to support it, I think it is unlikely to last for such a long time. Multi-group free investment, unless a commodity industry chain is formed. " Bai Liu calmly analyzed and elaborated, "Obviously, the commodities that a children's welfare home can provide are children and their by-products. Normally, it's easier for me to guess the chain of love and sex, but here it should be blood."

Bai Liu's attitude was almost impersonal indifference, and he stated without emotion: "The blood that can be provided by the number of children circulating in an orphanage that has been open for ten years and can accommodate hundreds of children at a time—I think it can save There are more people than the ones I mentioned, so I think that when this orphanage opened, the terminally ill patients waiting in line were not limited to the few entrepreneurs on the surface."

Bai Liu looked at him with a calm look that made Mu Ke's hair stand on end, "If my guess is correct, the information in the archive room, except for the players who have logged in to this game—"

"——should be [investors] who sucked the blood of children in reality to treat diseases."

[System warning: Player Bai Liu's talk involves reality at the core of the game, player Bai Liu's small TV has blocked and silenced this conversation]

Mu Ke was completely stunned, he couldn't recover a bit, and got off the bed in a flurry of hands and feet: "Wait, Bai Liu, what do you mean--no, wait, if all the patient's medical records must be recorded , I may not be able to remember so much in a short time now! I, my brain is not working well now, and what do you mean by what you just said..."

"I'll explain the details to you later." Bai Liu interrupted Mu Ke's inquiry, and he glanced at the panicked Mu Ke lightly, "If you can't remember everything, focus on what I told you Those few criminals at this level should have a relatively close chain of connections, as long as you catch a few, it's easy to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud."

Bai Liu pushed open the door, he turned his head to look at someone in a daze, sat by the bed and Mu Ke nodded, with a calm expression: "Take a break, I need you to maintain a high-precision memory at all times, and there are still many things that you need to memorize .”

"I don't need to rest, I can't sleep, I'm going to help you record the medical records... information... I can't remember it for a short time, I can remember it for a while..." As he spoke, Mu Ke slowly blinked his eyes twice , He shook his head twice, but his head hit the straw bed with a bang as if suddenly sinking. He looked at Bai Liu, holding the doorknob and looking down at him condescendingly, with a little shortness of breath.

Bai Liu didn't look at Mu Ke who was lying on the bed without any expression on his face: "You need to rest, Mu Ke."

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu used high-strength inhalable sleeping pills on player Mu Ke]

Mu Ke's eyes went dark, he felt the ward was spinning, he struggled to lift his eyelids, only to see Bai Liu turned and closed the door, disappeared between his eyes that were about to drop, he stretched out his hand to catch Bai Liu Leaving the back, but only moved his fingers twice, he closed his eyes unwillingly.

"I don't want to rest...I want to work..."

Before Mu Ke completely lost his consciousness and fell into sleep, the last words he heard from Bai Liu were: "The sleeping pills take effect at about 11:30 noon. At that time, the nurses are eating and the file room is empty. You wake up at that time. to be more appropriate."

"Sleep well, Muke."

Mu Ke curled up into a small ball on the straw bed, closed his eyes, breathed evenly, and slept soundly.

After Bai Liu glanced at it, he turned around and locked the door behind him - Mu Ke's spirit was too bad, he had been in a state of over-frightened since last night, his whole body was like a shivering cat, unable to sleep well Rest will affect his memory a lot.

In the game, there are not many safe time periods suitable for Mu Ke to rest. It is understandable for Mu Ke to be in that state of excessive vigilance and Bai Liu.

Only today, Miao Feichi is not here, the density of nurses patrolling during the day is very high, and the probability of monsters coming out is very low. There is no better place for Mu Ke to rest and recover than now.

But Bai Liu's absence would greatly deprive Mu Ke of his sense of security. Sure enough, Mu Ke sat up from the bed as soon as Bai Liu stood up. His eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to follow him. It seemed that he couldn't fall asleep at all. , Bai Liu simply made Mu Ke faint with medicine.

At half past nine, all the [investors] who were going to watch the baptism gathered at the entrance of the hospital.
