I'm a god in the infinite game
Chapter 83: Love Welfare Institute
The dean took them to the 9th floor. There were much fewer patients on this floor than the floors below, and they didn't seem to be that seriously ill. Bai Liu felt that the patients on this floor were as seriously ill as he was. , the most intuitive thing is that they are all about the same height.
From Bai Liu's observation just now, the sicker the patients in this hospital, the more slender their bodies would be, that is, the more they looked like [Slender Ghost].
Xiao Bai Liu's description of him is actually quite correct. The child's ability to perceive scary things made Bai Liu realize that he might have been consciously paying attention to this aspect since he was 14 years old.
There are a total of 21 wards on this floor. The dean arranged a room for Bai Liu, and then said that she would go back to pick up other investors.
Bai Liu lived in 906, in a room on the left side of the corridor. Bai Liu observed the entire ward and felt that this private hospital was a bit strange.
This hospital is very well decorated and exquisite, but the lighting is extremely poor. All the wards are protected from light. The room is so dark that you need to turn on the lights during the day, and the brightness of the lights here is also very low. You can’t see anything when you turn it on. , There are high-power humidifiers everywhere in the hospital, spraying mist out all the time, making the whole hospital as humid as if returning to the south, and smog-like water vapor is everywhere.
Avoid light and increase humidity. Normal hospitals will never be built like this, as if they are afraid that patients will not die here.
The light was poor and there was thick fog, which resulted in poor visibility in the hospital.
If the dean hadn't brought Bai Liu, it would have been very difficult for players to find the various passages here, because they couldn't see them, and because of the water vapor, the ground and walls were very slippery. Bai Liu is now tall and has long arms and legs. , It is easy to fall when walking on this slippery ground, which gives Bai Liu a bad feeling - if there is a chase on the map of the hospital, he will probably run too hard.
Bai Liu scanned the entire ward and found three humidifiers, but there was only one lamp, which was very dim.
What's even more strange is the hospital bed. As I said before, this is a private hospital that is well-decorated in all aspects. It looks very classy. The faucets in the bathroom are all in the shape of gilded lions, but the hospital bed——
——Bai Liu lifted off the white sheet of her hospital bed, looked at the piles of straw underneath and raised her eyebrows.
It turned out to be a straw bed.
Bai Liu had only lived in this kind of bed in a relatively poor orphanage when he was a child. This kind of bed was uncomfortable and troublesome to live in, but the advantage was that it was cheaper than other beds.
The straw needs to be dry to sleep comfortably. Once it is wet, it is easy to be rotted by insects, and it will bite people with various red spots. In a very humid environment, these straws will even grow mushrooms.
For example, at the corner of Bailiu's hospital bed, after he lifted the sheet, he saw a clump of gray mushrooms growing densely, all the way to the place next to the hospital bed next to the wooden bookcase.
If a straw bed is used in this room with three humidifiers, the bed is no different from a fungal petri dish. A decomposer, crawling with the bodies of those who sleep on it.
In short, during Bai Liu's childhood, during the rainy season, he would rather sleep on the ground than on a straw bed.
[System prompt: Please ask the player Bai Liu (as an investor) to complete the main task - to find a cure for life and relieve the symptoms of terminal illness]
A recipe for life...
Where do you go to find the cure for life extension?If this is a private hospital with a doctor, Bai Liu must have searched the doctor's office to read the prescription list, and then looked for the treatment medicine.
But there is no doctor here, only a group of nurses walking around pushing carts in the corridor, and Bai Liu took a look at the nurse's office when he came in. There were no bottles, no pills, not even syringes and infusion tubes in it. It was empty, only a few The waist-high stainless steel trolley looks a lot like the dining cart in the canteen of Bailiu Company, and it should be used to deliver meals to patients.
How can a hospital that has no doctors, no medicines, and nothing but patients find a [life-sustaining medicine] for a terminally ill patient?
Wait, there's nothing but patients...
Bai Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he began to search in the bookcase in the ward.
There is a bookcase next to the bed behind the door of this ward. Bai Liu glanced at it before and didn't pay attention to it. They are all very old books. Because there are too many of these books, Bai Liu didn't think about these books in the direction of clues at all. , and the books inside are also many and messy, such as novels, geographical atlases, everything, a big bookcase full of stuff.
If Bai Liu designed the game himself, he would not hide the clues of the game in such overly complicated information, because it is very difficult for the player to find a two-meter-high bookcase full of books without prompting. boring thing.
But there is one exception—that is, there is not only one piece of information that players need to discover in this bookcase.
Instead, except for a small part, it is information that players should discover.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering a side mission - search in medical books (prescription for life extension)]
really.
Bai Liu made a simple classification of the books in this bookcase. Some Bai Liu felt that they were obviously irrelevant to the copy, so he threw them away, such as pornographic women's magazines, and the rest were some medical magazines and books, which were heavy. The ground was piled up on the ground, Bai Liu took it out and weighed it to estimate, it must weigh several tens of catties.
They are all medical books, including Chinese, Western and foreign women and children, and some British medical papers and magazines. Among so many medical books, Bai Liu has no idea what it is used for (prescription for life extension), and Bai Liu feels that he is A person with little medical knowledge can't do it.
But he narrowed his eyes, looking at this pile of medical books that no one had read before, he felt a little bit of disobedience.
There are no doctors in this private hospital, so it is impossible for these books to be read by doctors, but it is obvious that these books are for people with certain medical knowledge.
And these books are for patients living in this ward, or investors.
So it's not that there are no doctors in this private hospital, but that the patients who live here are doctors.
They are reading and treating themselves—strange patients.
These investors are obviously worth a lot of money, but why don't they trust doctors and treat themselves instead?Is the doctor unable to treat it?But doctors can't treat them, and it doesn't make much sense for them to read these books. After all, they are all things that doctors have read.
Bai Liu thought for a while—it is obvious that all the investors here have some kind of terminal illness, so someone besides Bai Liu must have started treatment, that is, started to use the good life-sustaining formula, but they, the new patients who live here, cannot Get this (Life-Extending Recipe), but find it yourself in the pile of books.
But for a person who was not very disciplined and didn't like to do homework when he was a student, Bai Liu's reading comprehension efficiency for things that were not of his interest was very low, and his grades in many subjects during his student days were also average , so when Bai Liu didn't want to read the book but couldn't solve the answer, he quickly and shamelessly decided to copy other people's [homework]. When he was studying, he usually copied Lu Yizhan, because Lu Yizhan is a good student. The correct rate of homework is the highest, but in this game——
Bai Liu squinted her eyes and thought for a while—the key now is whose [homework] to copy?
Now in this hospital, who can solve the [answer] of this pile of books the fastest and most correctly?
--------
Mu Ke was also brought to this private hospital by the director. He also triggered the task of finding a life-saving prescription in medical books by searching the bookcase. Now he is sitting by the bed and looking at the pile of medical books.
He hasn't read a book for a long time since he graduated, and it's still such a big tome. The room is so dark that even if someone walks around a meter away from him, he can't see him, let alone read a book. Mu Ke is going to buy a desk lamp or something for lighting, but before buying, the system reminds him that the ward needs to be protected from light, and high-brightness lighting is prohibited. Are you sure you still want to buy related props?
It means that props can be sold to you, but you cannot use them in the ward.
Mu Ke was going to try to see if this book could be taken out to read, at least it was better than the lighting in this room.
But as soon as he walked out of the ward with the book, he was taken aback when he opened it. An expressionless nurse was patrolling the corridor with a stainless steel trolley. The warning said that please do not walk around with the things in the ward, and the patient cannot walk around on the first day of admission, please stay in the ward.
It seemed that he couldn't take it out, so Mu Ke shrank back with a frown.
Mu Ke had to try reading with this underworld light.
But after watching it for a while, Mu Ke felt powerless. His reading speed is considered fast, but reading in this kind of lighting show is too inefficient, and the directions are very messy. An effective treatment plan, or in the words of the system, a life-saving prescription, is also very difficult.
Mu Ke also realized that it is difficult to find the correct answer by reading alone, but he couldn't think of other ideas for a while.
After all, the game's hints are too directional, and it is obvious that the player is asked to read the pile of books in the bookcase to find the answer, and this happens to be Mu Ke's strong point.
Mu Ke looked anxiously at the book in his hand and sighed. It had been a long time since he had the feeling of not being able to find the answer when reading a book. His intelligence value is also quite high after entering the game, with 85 points.
His reading and memory comprehension skills are excellent. If he is given a relatively bright environment, it will not be difficult to read this pile of books and integrate knowledge clues to get the answer within three days. He is eager to get it quickly. He came up with a life-saving prescription for Bai Liu, but the gloomy reality made him even more irritable.
It took an hour to finish a book, which is not his real level at all!
Just as Mu Ke was thinking about how to operate it, his system panel suddenly vibrated, and he saw an extra item in his inventory.
Mu Ke didn't buy any props now, and it was obvious that the person who just bought this prop was Bai Liu—Bai Liu could manipulate his panel to buy props from the air, which was also one of their communication methods.
Now they are all living in the ward, using this way of buying props to communicate with each other is extremely secretive, and it can also avoid people's eyes and ears.
Mu Ke clicked on his own system panel and looked at his props in the warehouse. The audience can see the system store, but the interface of the warehouse cannot be seen. In order to protect the safety of the player's property, the warehouse will be coded, so Mu Ke and Even the audience in front of the small TV would not be aware of Bai Liu's private communication, it can be said to be extremely secretive.
The only possible way to expose Mu Ke and Bai Liu's communication is when Mu Ke is killed suddenly, and the props they use to communicate are exposed to the player who killed Mu Ke, and the other party perceives that something is wrong. For example, Bai Liu and Mu Ke use a notepad or If you use a mobile phone recorder to write and communicate, after Mu Ke dies, the item used for communication will fall in front of the player who killed him.
If Mu Ke was killed suddenly during the communication, or if Mu Ke was killed before he had time to erase the traces of the communication, then the item dropped by Mu Ke may expose Bai Liu to others. Traces of communication with him.
Of course, the communication process can also be encrypted with a password to prevent the other party from easily deciphering it, but how can we be sure that the password will not be easily deciphered by others and can be quickly understood by Mu Ke?
Bai Liu didn't like the fact that he was exposed to his opponent, so he didn't choose a very conventional communication tool.
What Bai Liu bought for Mu Ke was a black keyboard.
The keyboard is a tool both Mu Ke and Bai Liu are familiar with. Compared with notebooks, paper, and recording pens, etc., which will leave obvious traces of communication, buttoning the keycap and putting it back on the keyboard is relatively more seamless, and the communication is over. After that, compared to other communication tools, it can be said that it will not leave traces.
And the "password" on the keyboard is a password that Mu Ke and Bai Liu, two gamers, can quickly understand.
Even if Mu Ke kills and falls out of a keyboard, the enemy will not easily associate it with the communication tool, let alone think about what information is contained in the keyboard.
Of course, another reason why Liu chose the keyboard was that when this person was visiting a system discount store, he saw this keyboard that cost less than ten credits. Liu thought it could be used, so he bought it.
Mu Ke was taken aback when he saw the keyboard.
The [ctrl] and [c] keycaps on the keyboard have been removed. This is a very commonly used shortcut key. [ctrl]+[c] means [copy], which means copy.
copy?Copy what?What do they have to copy now, shouldn't the top priority be to find that life-saving formula?
etc!Mu Ke quickly understood Bai Liu's meaning——Bai Liu wanted to copy (a good recipe for life extension)!
Did Bai Liu want to copy this thing? !But can this be copied?Where to copy it?There are so many wards here, does Bai Liu know that there is a cure for life in that ward?
Mu Ke looked at the keyboard, thought for a while, and then hesitantly clicked off the [? ] and [numlock] keycaps, put them in my warehouse, anxiously waiting for Bai Liu's reply, and also a little worried that the other party would not understand what I meant.
[numlock] is a keypad number lock key on a keyboard, but the literal meaning can be translated as [lock number], combined with that [? 】Keycap, what Mu Ke wants to express is—【Bai Liu, what number do we lock? 】
The room numbers of the wards here are all numbers, Bai Liu only needs to tell him what number to lock, and he will know which ward Bai Liu is going to.
But soon, the keyboard that Mu Ke put in the warehouse disappeared, and came back after a while. When he came back, the [ctrl]+[c] keycaps on the keyboard came back, but three keycaps were missing.
"1, 7, 0."
Mu Ke was immediately confused. As for the house number, the number 0 cannot be placed in the first place, so the previous number can only be one or seven.
There are only three arrangements of these three numbers, [701], [710], [107].
The seventh floor is the operating room and there are no wards.
And [107] is even more ridiculous. This is a "vacant ward". There is no [107] ward in this building. There is no such ward.
There are [106] and [108] wards.
Mu Ke was a little worried, he couldn't understand Bai Liu's meaning, he scanned the three numbers, thought about all the six arrangements of the three numbers in his mind, and then he slowly sat up straight.
This private hospital does not have ward numbers with English letters, but there are special intensive care units without numbers - ICU wards.
The ICU ward on the first floor, this ward is not marked with a number, and the first floor is all wards except this place, so this [icu] ward is likely to be the [empty ward] that occupies the number [107]!
Bai Liu did not directly use the ICU ward to describe it because there is more than one ICU ward in this hospital. If the ward number is not specified, it may cause information misunderstanding, and Mu Ke directly asked what number, so Bai Liu simply used a more specific number to describe it. It refers to the ward number—this guy never thought that the person opposite might not be able to keep up with his thinking speed, and equated ward 107 with the ICU ward on the first floor.
But fortunately, Mu Ke is a player with a good memory and ability to collect information. He successfully got what Bai Liu wanted to express.
Bai Liu wanted to go here and copy the treatment method of this critically ill patient! !
"Grass." Mu Ke couldn't hold back a swear word—the original aborigine investor of this hospital lives in the ICU, and a patient who is more than two meters tall looks almost like a ghost, okay?It is very likely that it is the monster in their copy!
And the nurses here have said that the patients in the ICU ward will not leave the ward all day, how can they enter and copy the life-sustaining prescription inside!
And they don't know if there is a so-called [prescription for life extension] in it!
Bai Liu is quite sure that the ICU must have what the system calls the [prescription for life extension].
If the patients here are all doctors, then for a group of [novice doctors] who have just moved in, it is more likely that there will be a treatment plan in the ward, and it must be an old doctor who has been sicker and studied for a longer time.
To sum up, in the ICU ward, Bai Liu felt that there was probably a so-called [prescription for life extension] in the system.
But whether you can get it is another matter.
The patients in the ICU don't look very human, and they don't leave the ward all day. Bai Liu has no chance to enter, and I don't know if it will cause patients or monsters to attack violently after entering. After all, Bai Liu didn't do it. What a good thing, but to dig things, the risk is quite high.
But the corresponding income is also very high. If it succeeds, Bai Liu will be the first among all players to get the [Life Renewal Prescription], which will give Bai Liu considerable initiative, which he can use to trade with other players There are many things, but there are two difficulties on the bright side of breaking into ICU:
The first point: how to break in?
There are roving nurses in the corridors of this hospital. Patients will be caught and corrected if they do anything that violates the hospital's rules and regulations. Not to mention forcing their way into the ICU. It's because these nurses' scouting ability and moving speed are quite fast, at least according to Bai Liu's visual inspection, he couldn't outrun these nurses wearing stilettos on this slippery ground.
The second point: how to find things after breaking in?
The patients in this ward are very strange, most of them are monsters, if they break in and look for things in front of the other party, it will be terrible.
Before Bai Liu came up with a concrete solution, night fell.
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and the nurse informed the ward of a curfew, and all patients were forbidden to go out.
In the corridor, you can only hear the sound of the nurses pushing the carts creaking back and forth. These nurses patrol the corridor in shifts, and when they see a dim light in the door of the ward, they will knock on the door and ask you to turn off the light and rest, just like The dormitory aunt of Bailiu High School.
But these nurses are far less friendly than her aunt. Bai Liu opened the door and took a look. These nurses were walking in high-heeled shoes in the corridor at night, patrolling back and forth in the mist from the humidifier with stagnant faces, which reminded Bai Liu of "Silence" for a moment. The Nurse Monster in The Ridge.
The eyesight of these nurses is surprisingly good. In this low-visibility scene, Bai Liu just opened a crack in the door to take a peek, but was quickly discovered by these nurses. Fluorescent green, looking at Bai Liu from a distance, the pushcart approached Bai Liu quickly, the high heels thumped and ran towards Bai Liu, Bai Liu quickly closed the door and locked it.
Soon the cart creaked and the brakes stopped in front of Bailiu's door. The nurse knocked on the door twice and said in a low voice, "Patient in room 706, did you open the door just now? You haven't graduated from a hospital. Rules and regulations! It is strictly forbidden to go out after nine o’clock in the evening, and the door of the ward can only be opened after nine o’clock in the morning.”
The nurse sternly questioned Bai Liu while knocking on the door, which was smashed in the middle of the night.
Of course Bai Liu would not open the door for her.
The nurse slammed the door for a while, with a drawn-out tone, and said a little strangely: "If you insist on opening the door of your ward during these two time periods, if something gets into your ward, the hospital may Not responsible for your personal safety."
After finishing speaking, the nurse pushed the cart and left in front of Bai Liu's room.
What, Bai Liu frowned when he heard what the nurse said, it seemed that there was something wrong going around outside at night.
But this time period...
After nine o'clock in the evening, it is forbidden to open the door of the ward before nine o'clock in the morning, which is equivalent to prohibiting patients from going out, but this time period is just in time with children's phone calls (six to nine in the morning, nine to twelve in the evening) is consistent.
The time when the child came out to call the investor happened to be the time when the investor couldn't go out, and the [something] that the nurse said before got into your ward—assuming that the [something] that the nurse said was a monster, then this monster came out The time of the activity is exactly the time when the children come out to make a phone call.
It seems that Xiao Bailiu would take a great risk to call him.
At 09:30, just when Bai Liu thought that he would not receive a call from Xiao Bailiu tonight, his walkie-talkie rang.
Bai Liu picked it up, there was a sound like a bad connection coming from this version of the walkie-talkie, and there was the gasping sound of someone running at a high speed. It felt like someone was running with this walkie-talkie, and they were running very fast, out of breath. angry.
Bai Liu didn't make a sound, and waited until the panting over there basically subsided, and said over there, "Wait a minute, something is chasing me."
After Xiao Bai Liu finished speaking, the system interface on Bai Liu's side popped up:
[System prompt: Congratulations to player Bai Liu's sub-identity line for triggering the monster book]
[Renewal of "Love Welfare Institute Monster Book" - Deformed Children (1/3)]
[Monster Name: Deformed Child]
[Features: Faster movement speed (350-600)]
【weakness:? ? ? (to be explored)]
[Attack method: I like to play with the player's sub-identity line, and playing with the player's sub-identity line will make the player's sub-identity line disappear in the orphanage]
After about five minutes, there was the sound of scraping and rubbing clothes from the opposite side. Xiao Bailiu seemed to be hiding somewhere, and said in a low voice: "Okay, it hasn't caught up for a while, you can talk."
Although Xiao Bailiu's voice was a little ups and downs, it could be heard that there were no obvious mood swings, and he was not afraid of chasing his things.
Bai Liu asked: "What is chasing you?"
"A child." Xiao Bailiu said, his breath was still a little uneven, "squatting on the ground, chasing me on all fours like a monkey, very thin, always drooling and laughing, looks very strange, looks like intelligence The kind of congenital fool who can't do it."
Xiao Bailiu also described this, and Bai Liu understood. He also stayed in an orphanage before, and the Down syndrome patient had a very distinctive appearance, squinting eyes, flat nose bridge, long mouth, and fat cheeks. Drum, the neck is very short, the distance between the eyes is very wide, and the eyeballs always like to run diagonally upwards. Back then, Bai Liu saw some children in the orphanage nicknamed these fools "Frogs" because they looked like frogs.
Such a frog-like child is lying on all fours on the ground with his head up and drooling, giggling and chasing Xiao Bai Liu... Fortunately, Xiao Bai Liu is very obsessed with money and is willing to call him for money, otherwise normal children would have been killed I cried in fright, who can guarantee that I will keep running without hanging up the phone.
"Then he left?" Bai Liu asked.
"No." As soon as Xiao Bailiu finished answering this sentence, Bai Liu heard a child's whisper and the sound of all fours on the ground, between the cloth of pants and the dirt and gravel, but the sound was very fast , forming a hissing sound effect like a snake swimming, and the child chasing Xiao Bailiu moved very fast as soon as he heard it.
After Xiao Bailiu said no, he fell silent again.
Bai Liu could only hear the sound of his rapid breathing and footsteps when he was running, as well as the innocent laughter of the child who followed behind him like a shadow and looming, and the sound of hissing pants rubbing against the ground.
The sound became louder and louder, and it felt that the contact area between the fabric and the ground should be large. It seemed that the child chasing Xiao Bai Liu was dragging his lower body to chase him, and he was about to catch up with him soon.
Bai Liu didn't speak, he was waiting quietly, not disturbing Xiao Bai Liu who was chasing him.
After waiting for another 5 minutes, Xiao Bailiu spoke out of breath: "It's ok."
"Did you avoid him?" Bai Liu asked.
"No, he went to chase other people." Xiao Bailiu said without any sympathy in his tone, "Some other kid came out to make a phone call, and he was chased as soon as he came out. Now he is crying and running, and that kid didn't chase me anymore. .”
Bai Liu understood that there should be only one weird child chasing around outside the orphanage, and now that he has shifted his hatred to chase others, Xiao Bai Liu will be relatively safe.
He asked, "What's the situation over there? What happened after you were brought in by the dean?"
"After we were brought in, the process was normal. The people in the orphanage allocated rooms for us. I shared a room with three other new boys, and a blind little girl lived in another building. Opposite us, we all lived in the same room. In the room on the first floor." Xiao Bai Liu said that the order of things was very clear, he first briefly talked about the overall situation, and then began to talk about the points that Bai Liu would care about.
Xiao Bailiu was still panting for breath: "Our children's phone was supposed to be confiscated. The teacher of the orphanage expressly forbids carrying this kind of communication tool, but then they said that we are new here and they have to give us a period of adaptation. It said that we were allowed to carry it for a week, but it set a time for us to make calls, which was the same as what you said, and that we could not make calls in the room, saying that it would disturb other people’s rest.”
"And all the teachers and nurses I met in the orphanage warned me not to follow the sound of the flute at night, and not to go out when I heard the sound of the flute, saying that the person playing the flute would abduct children." Xiao Bailiu's tone was very calm , "As a result, at [-]:[-] in the evening, I heard someone whining on a clarinet outside and playing some nonsense nursery rhymes."
"I don't want to go out, but the person who plays the flute is too cheap. It's exactly one o'clock after nine o'clock, but there is no way. You said that I will call you once and give me money per minute according to the call time, so I came out anyway." .”
Don't follow the sound of the flute, Bai Liu is thoughtful. There is also such a plot in the orphanage in the real world. It is said that the four children went out voluntarily after hearing the sound of the flute and then disappeared.
At that time, Bai Liu thought of a fairy tale.
"Don't follow the sound of the flute. It is said that the sound of the flute will abduct children. What do you think of when you hear this?" Bai Liu asked thoughtfully.
Xiao Bailiu over there was silent for a while: "You mentioned this, then you should think of something similar to me, "The Pied Piper of Hamelin", I remember the name."
"That's the name." Bai Liu said, "It's an English children's poem."
The poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" tells the story of a small town that was once plagued by plague. The townspeople were tortured by rats running around. A cloth-clothed piper came to the town. He said that the sound of his flute could drive away the mice, but he demanded that the townspeople pay him for it.
The townspeople agreed, the piper played the flute, and the mice came out from all corners of the town, followed the piper in a row and walked away, the piper played and played, walked and walked, the mice It seemed very happy to follow behind, and followed closely.
The Piper went to a creek, and the water was up to his waist, and the mice went into this creek, too, and they were all drowned in the waist-high water, and floated about on the creek.
The townspeople were happy when the plague was over, but they backtracked and were unwilling to pay the piper.
Then the piper blew his flute again, and the sound of the flute sounded, and this time it was the children of the townspeople who came out from all directions in the town.
The children laughed and made noises, and they lined up behind the Piper one by one like the previous mice, jumping up and down, rejoicing, and never turned back no matter how much the townspeople cried out to dissuade them, the Piper took them out of the town, and Nowhere to be seen.
Some people say that the Piper took these children to the waist-high river and tried to drown the children to retaliate against the townspeople. You can continue to get paid.
"Did you see who was playing the flute?" Bai Liu asked.
Xiao Bailiu recalled: "I didn't see it, the sound of the flute was everywhere, I felt that there was more than one person, but the skill of the flute player was not very good, he played several wrong notes, and played back and forth for half an hour. Those few nursery rhymes give me the feeling that I am a beginner.”
"Did any child come out after hearing the sound of the flute?" Bai Liu continued to ask.
"No." Xiao Bailiu replied quickly this time, "Except for the rooms where we newcomers sleep without a teacher to guard them, the other rooms are accompanied by teachers or nurses, so we are the only ones who can come out. Call up."
On the other end of the phone, there was the ear-piercing cry of the child, and the ethereal and foolish laughter of the child chasing him. At this moment, Xiao Bailiu seemed to just remember, and asked, "By the way, being chased The one is Xiao Miao Fei Chi, the child of another investor."
"Xiao Miao Fei Teeth?" Bai Liu asked with interest, "Why did he come out to make a phone call? Oh yes, this kid has a bad habit, stay away from him."
Xiao Bailiu asked: "What hobby?"
Bai Liu: "He likes to eat human flesh."
There was a silence on the other side of the phone, and then I remembered Xiao Bailiu's calm and rational voice: "Then I understand why he came out to call at night. He saw the child crawling on the ground and wanted to come out. I thought he was coming out." The one on the phone, after you said this, I think maybe he used the phone call as a cover to come out to eat."
But what Naihe encountered was a hard stubble.
"I have a grudge against this kid's investor, so you shouldn't socialize with him," Bai Liu said.
"Do you need me to do anything for you? For example, kick him, make him fall to the ground, be caught up, and then be killed?" When Xiao Bailiu talked about doing such bad things, his tone was very It's very bland, not at all like a teenage boy, "But I will help you with something, and you have to give me money."
"Well, don't need it for now, just protect yourself, you are more important to me than him." Bai Liu rubbed his chin and chuckled, "I don't remember that I was so courageous at your age, daring to do such mischievous things matter."
Xiao Bailiu replied indifferently: "It may be that you are at my age, and you haven't met an investor who dares to offer you a chat price and who is not a good person at first sight?"
When Bai Liu heard these words, he paused subtly. He recalled his 14 years old.
…I have to admit that if he hadn’t had Lu Yizhan unswervingly leading him on the road of being a man according to the law when he was 14 years old, and met an investor who gave him money to do evil, then he would have really done this kind of thing out.
"You don't need to worry about Xiao Miao Fei Chi, but there are two children, if something happens to you, you can help." Bai Liu changed the subject nonchalantly, "One is called Mu Ke, and the other is the blind girl, of course, I will also pay you for helping them."
Xiao Bailiu asked in a slightly weird tone: "You want to save these two little boys and girls too? What is your relationship with them? Give me money to save them? They look pretty..."
"What are you thinking? She is a child that a friend of mine wants to adopt." Bai Liu immediately got the implication of Xiao Bailiu's words, he was a little speechless, Xiaobaiu's moral level is too low for him when he is an adult point, "I'm not as bad as you said, I'm not interested in children."
Quickly considering that he always wanted money before his life, Bai Liu added, "But the premise of everything you do to help them is to ensure your own safety, and you are the most important thing to me, remember this .”
Xiao Bailiu over there was silent for a few seconds, and did not answer him directly.
From Bai Liu's observation just now, the sicker the patients in this hospital, the more slender their bodies would be, that is, the more they looked like [Slender Ghost].
Xiao Bai Liu's description of him is actually quite correct. The child's ability to perceive scary things made Bai Liu realize that he might have been consciously paying attention to this aspect since he was 14 years old.
There are a total of 21 wards on this floor. The dean arranged a room for Bai Liu, and then said that she would go back to pick up other investors.
Bai Liu lived in 906, in a room on the left side of the corridor. Bai Liu observed the entire ward and felt that this private hospital was a bit strange.
This hospital is very well decorated and exquisite, but the lighting is extremely poor. All the wards are protected from light. The room is so dark that you need to turn on the lights during the day, and the brightness of the lights here is also very low. You can’t see anything when you turn it on. , There are high-power humidifiers everywhere in the hospital, spraying mist out all the time, making the whole hospital as humid as if returning to the south, and smog-like water vapor is everywhere.
Avoid light and increase humidity. Normal hospitals will never be built like this, as if they are afraid that patients will not die here.
The light was poor and there was thick fog, which resulted in poor visibility in the hospital.
If the dean hadn't brought Bai Liu, it would have been very difficult for players to find the various passages here, because they couldn't see them, and because of the water vapor, the ground and walls were very slippery. Bai Liu is now tall and has long arms and legs. , It is easy to fall when walking on this slippery ground, which gives Bai Liu a bad feeling - if there is a chase on the map of the hospital, he will probably run too hard.
Bai Liu scanned the entire ward and found three humidifiers, but there was only one lamp, which was very dim.
What's even more strange is the hospital bed. As I said before, this is a private hospital that is well-decorated in all aspects. It looks very classy. The faucets in the bathroom are all in the shape of gilded lions, but the hospital bed——
——Bai Liu lifted off the white sheet of her hospital bed, looked at the piles of straw underneath and raised her eyebrows.
It turned out to be a straw bed.
Bai Liu had only lived in this kind of bed in a relatively poor orphanage when he was a child. This kind of bed was uncomfortable and troublesome to live in, but the advantage was that it was cheaper than other beds.
The straw needs to be dry to sleep comfortably. Once it is wet, it is easy to be rotted by insects, and it will bite people with various red spots. In a very humid environment, these straws will even grow mushrooms.
For example, at the corner of Bailiu's hospital bed, after he lifted the sheet, he saw a clump of gray mushrooms growing densely, all the way to the place next to the hospital bed next to the wooden bookcase.
If a straw bed is used in this room with three humidifiers, the bed is no different from a fungal petri dish. A decomposer, crawling with the bodies of those who sleep on it.
In short, during Bai Liu's childhood, during the rainy season, he would rather sleep on the ground than on a straw bed.
[System prompt: Please ask the player Bai Liu (as an investor) to complete the main task - to find a cure for life and relieve the symptoms of terminal illness]
A recipe for life...
Where do you go to find the cure for life extension?If this is a private hospital with a doctor, Bai Liu must have searched the doctor's office to read the prescription list, and then looked for the treatment medicine.
But there is no doctor here, only a group of nurses walking around pushing carts in the corridor, and Bai Liu took a look at the nurse's office when he came in. There were no bottles, no pills, not even syringes and infusion tubes in it. It was empty, only a few The waist-high stainless steel trolley looks a lot like the dining cart in the canteen of Bailiu Company, and it should be used to deliver meals to patients.
How can a hospital that has no doctors, no medicines, and nothing but patients find a [life-sustaining medicine] for a terminally ill patient?
Wait, there's nothing but patients...
Bai Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he began to search in the bookcase in the ward.
There is a bookcase next to the bed behind the door of this ward. Bai Liu glanced at it before and didn't pay attention to it. They are all very old books. Because there are too many of these books, Bai Liu didn't think about these books in the direction of clues at all. , and the books inside are also many and messy, such as novels, geographical atlases, everything, a big bookcase full of stuff.
If Bai Liu designed the game himself, he would not hide the clues of the game in such overly complicated information, because it is very difficult for the player to find a two-meter-high bookcase full of books without prompting. boring thing.
But there is one exception—that is, there is not only one piece of information that players need to discover in this bookcase.
Instead, except for a small part, it is information that players should discover.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering a side mission - search in medical books (prescription for life extension)]
really.
Bai Liu made a simple classification of the books in this bookcase. Some Bai Liu felt that they were obviously irrelevant to the copy, so he threw them away, such as pornographic women's magazines, and the rest were some medical magazines and books, which were heavy. The ground was piled up on the ground, Bai Liu took it out and weighed it to estimate, it must weigh several tens of catties.
They are all medical books, including Chinese, Western and foreign women and children, and some British medical papers and magazines. Among so many medical books, Bai Liu has no idea what it is used for (prescription for life extension), and Bai Liu feels that he is A person with little medical knowledge can't do it.
But he narrowed his eyes, looking at this pile of medical books that no one had read before, he felt a little bit of disobedience.
There are no doctors in this private hospital, so it is impossible for these books to be read by doctors, but it is obvious that these books are for people with certain medical knowledge.
And these books are for patients living in this ward, or investors.
So it's not that there are no doctors in this private hospital, but that the patients who live here are doctors.
They are reading and treating themselves—strange patients.
These investors are obviously worth a lot of money, but why don't they trust doctors and treat themselves instead?Is the doctor unable to treat it?But doctors can't treat them, and it doesn't make much sense for them to read these books. After all, they are all things that doctors have read.
Bai Liu thought for a while—it is obvious that all the investors here have some kind of terminal illness, so someone besides Bai Liu must have started treatment, that is, started to use the good life-sustaining formula, but they, the new patients who live here, cannot Get this (Life-Extending Recipe), but find it yourself in the pile of books.
But for a person who was not very disciplined and didn't like to do homework when he was a student, Bai Liu's reading comprehension efficiency for things that were not of his interest was very low, and his grades in many subjects during his student days were also average , so when Bai Liu didn't want to read the book but couldn't solve the answer, he quickly and shamelessly decided to copy other people's [homework]. When he was studying, he usually copied Lu Yizhan, because Lu Yizhan is a good student. The correct rate of homework is the highest, but in this game——
Bai Liu squinted her eyes and thought for a while—the key now is whose [homework] to copy?
Now in this hospital, who can solve the [answer] of this pile of books the fastest and most correctly?
--------
Mu Ke was also brought to this private hospital by the director. He also triggered the task of finding a life-saving prescription in medical books by searching the bookcase. Now he is sitting by the bed and looking at the pile of medical books.
He hasn't read a book for a long time since he graduated, and it's still such a big tome. The room is so dark that even if someone walks around a meter away from him, he can't see him, let alone read a book. Mu Ke is going to buy a desk lamp or something for lighting, but before buying, the system reminds him that the ward needs to be protected from light, and high-brightness lighting is prohibited. Are you sure you still want to buy related props?
It means that props can be sold to you, but you cannot use them in the ward.
Mu Ke was going to try to see if this book could be taken out to read, at least it was better than the lighting in this room.
But as soon as he walked out of the ward with the book, he was taken aback when he opened it. An expressionless nurse was patrolling the corridor with a stainless steel trolley. The warning said that please do not walk around with the things in the ward, and the patient cannot walk around on the first day of admission, please stay in the ward.
It seemed that he couldn't take it out, so Mu Ke shrank back with a frown.
Mu Ke had to try reading with this underworld light.
But after watching it for a while, Mu Ke felt powerless. His reading speed is considered fast, but reading in this kind of lighting show is too inefficient, and the directions are very messy. An effective treatment plan, or in the words of the system, a life-saving prescription, is also very difficult.
Mu Ke also realized that it is difficult to find the correct answer by reading alone, but he couldn't think of other ideas for a while.
After all, the game's hints are too directional, and it is obvious that the player is asked to read the pile of books in the bookcase to find the answer, and this happens to be Mu Ke's strong point.
Mu Ke looked anxiously at the book in his hand and sighed. It had been a long time since he had the feeling of not being able to find the answer when reading a book. His intelligence value is also quite high after entering the game, with 85 points.
His reading and memory comprehension skills are excellent. If he is given a relatively bright environment, it will not be difficult to read this pile of books and integrate knowledge clues to get the answer within three days. He is eager to get it quickly. He came up with a life-saving prescription for Bai Liu, but the gloomy reality made him even more irritable.
It took an hour to finish a book, which is not his real level at all!
Just as Mu Ke was thinking about how to operate it, his system panel suddenly vibrated, and he saw an extra item in his inventory.
Mu Ke didn't buy any props now, and it was obvious that the person who just bought this prop was Bai Liu—Bai Liu could manipulate his panel to buy props from the air, which was also one of their communication methods.
Now they are all living in the ward, using this way of buying props to communicate with each other is extremely secretive, and it can also avoid people's eyes and ears.
Mu Ke clicked on his own system panel and looked at his props in the warehouse. The audience can see the system store, but the interface of the warehouse cannot be seen. In order to protect the safety of the player's property, the warehouse will be coded, so Mu Ke and Even the audience in front of the small TV would not be aware of Bai Liu's private communication, it can be said to be extremely secretive.
The only possible way to expose Mu Ke and Bai Liu's communication is when Mu Ke is killed suddenly, and the props they use to communicate are exposed to the player who killed Mu Ke, and the other party perceives that something is wrong. For example, Bai Liu and Mu Ke use a notepad or If you use a mobile phone recorder to write and communicate, after Mu Ke dies, the item used for communication will fall in front of the player who killed him.
If Mu Ke was killed suddenly during the communication, or if Mu Ke was killed before he had time to erase the traces of the communication, then the item dropped by Mu Ke may expose Bai Liu to others. Traces of communication with him.
Of course, the communication process can also be encrypted with a password to prevent the other party from easily deciphering it, but how can we be sure that the password will not be easily deciphered by others and can be quickly understood by Mu Ke?
Bai Liu didn't like the fact that he was exposed to his opponent, so he didn't choose a very conventional communication tool.
What Bai Liu bought for Mu Ke was a black keyboard.
The keyboard is a tool both Mu Ke and Bai Liu are familiar with. Compared with notebooks, paper, and recording pens, etc., which will leave obvious traces of communication, buttoning the keycap and putting it back on the keyboard is relatively more seamless, and the communication is over. After that, compared to other communication tools, it can be said that it will not leave traces.
And the "password" on the keyboard is a password that Mu Ke and Bai Liu, two gamers, can quickly understand.
Even if Mu Ke kills and falls out of a keyboard, the enemy will not easily associate it with the communication tool, let alone think about what information is contained in the keyboard.
Of course, another reason why Liu chose the keyboard was that when this person was visiting a system discount store, he saw this keyboard that cost less than ten credits. Liu thought it could be used, so he bought it.
Mu Ke was taken aback when he saw the keyboard.
The [ctrl] and [c] keycaps on the keyboard have been removed. This is a very commonly used shortcut key. [ctrl]+[c] means [copy], which means copy.
copy?Copy what?What do they have to copy now, shouldn't the top priority be to find that life-saving formula?
etc!Mu Ke quickly understood Bai Liu's meaning——Bai Liu wanted to copy (a good recipe for life extension)!
Did Bai Liu want to copy this thing? !But can this be copied?Where to copy it?There are so many wards here, does Bai Liu know that there is a cure for life in that ward?
Mu Ke looked at the keyboard, thought for a while, and then hesitantly clicked off the [? ] and [numlock] keycaps, put them in my warehouse, anxiously waiting for Bai Liu's reply, and also a little worried that the other party would not understand what I meant.
[numlock] is a keypad number lock key on a keyboard, but the literal meaning can be translated as [lock number], combined with that [? 】Keycap, what Mu Ke wants to express is—【Bai Liu, what number do we lock? 】
The room numbers of the wards here are all numbers, Bai Liu only needs to tell him what number to lock, and he will know which ward Bai Liu is going to.
But soon, the keyboard that Mu Ke put in the warehouse disappeared, and came back after a while. When he came back, the [ctrl]+[c] keycaps on the keyboard came back, but three keycaps were missing.
"1, 7, 0."
Mu Ke was immediately confused. As for the house number, the number 0 cannot be placed in the first place, so the previous number can only be one or seven.
There are only three arrangements of these three numbers, [701], [710], [107].
The seventh floor is the operating room and there are no wards.
And [107] is even more ridiculous. This is a "vacant ward". There is no [107] ward in this building. There is no such ward.
There are [106] and [108] wards.
Mu Ke was a little worried, he couldn't understand Bai Liu's meaning, he scanned the three numbers, thought about all the six arrangements of the three numbers in his mind, and then he slowly sat up straight.
This private hospital does not have ward numbers with English letters, but there are special intensive care units without numbers - ICU wards.
The ICU ward on the first floor, this ward is not marked with a number, and the first floor is all wards except this place, so this [icu] ward is likely to be the [empty ward] that occupies the number [107]!
Bai Liu did not directly use the ICU ward to describe it because there is more than one ICU ward in this hospital. If the ward number is not specified, it may cause information misunderstanding, and Mu Ke directly asked what number, so Bai Liu simply used a more specific number to describe it. It refers to the ward number—this guy never thought that the person opposite might not be able to keep up with his thinking speed, and equated ward 107 with the ICU ward on the first floor.
But fortunately, Mu Ke is a player with a good memory and ability to collect information. He successfully got what Bai Liu wanted to express.
Bai Liu wanted to go here and copy the treatment method of this critically ill patient! !
"Grass." Mu Ke couldn't hold back a swear word—the original aborigine investor of this hospital lives in the ICU, and a patient who is more than two meters tall looks almost like a ghost, okay?It is very likely that it is the monster in their copy!
And the nurses here have said that the patients in the ICU ward will not leave the ward all day, how can they enter and copy the life-sustaining prescription inside!
And they don't know if there is a so-called [prescription for life extension] in it!
Bai Liu is quite sure that the ICU must have what the system calls the [prescription for life extension].
If the patients here are all doctors, then for a group of [novice doctors] who have just moved in, it is more likely that there will be a treatment plan in the ward, and it must be an old doctor who has been sicker and studied for a longer time.
To sum up, in the ICU ward, Bai Liu felt that there was probably a so-called [prescription for life extension] in the system.
But whether you can get it is another matter.
The patients in the ICU don't look very human, and they don't leave the ward all day. Bai Liu has no chance to enter, and I don't know if it will cause patients or monsters to attack violently after entering. After all, Bai Liu didn't do it. What a good thing, but to dig things, the risk is quite high.
But the corresponding income is also very high. If it succeeds, Bai Liu will be the first among all players to get the [Life Renewal Prescription], which will give Bai Liu considerable initiative, which he can use to trade with other players There are many things, but there are two difficulties on the bright side of breaking into ICU:
The first point: how to break in?
There are roving nurses in the corridors of this hospital. Patients will be caught and corrected if they do anything that violates the hospital's rules and regulations. Not to mention forcing their way into the ICU. It's because these nurses' scouting ability and moving speed are quite fast, at least according to Bai Liu's visual inspection, he couldn't outrun these nurses wearing stilettos on this slippery ground.
The second point: how to find things after breaking in?
The patients in this ward are very strange, most of them are monsters, if they break in and look for things in front of the other party, it will be terrible.
Before Bai Liu came up with a concrete solution, night fell.
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and the nurse informed the ward of a curfew, and all patients were forbidden to go out.
In the corridor, you can only hear the sound of the nurses pushing the carts creaking back and forth. These nurses patrol the corridor in shifts, and when they see a dim light in the door of the ward, they will knock on the door and ask you to turn off the light and rest, just like The dormitory aunt of Bailiu High School.
But these nurses are far less friendly than her aunt. Bai Liu opened the door and took a look. These nurses were walking in high-heeled shoes in the corridor at night, patrolling back and forth in the mist from the humidifier with stagnant faces, which reminded Bai Liu of "Silence" for a moment. The Nurse Monster in The Ridge.
The eyesight of these nurses is surprisingly good. In this low-visibility scene, Bai Liu just opened a crack in the door to take a peek, but was quickly discovered by these nurses. Fluorescent green, looking at Bai Liu from a distance, the pushcart approached Bai Liu quickly, the high heels thumped and ran towards Bai Liu, Bai Liu quickly closed the door and locked it.
Soon the cart creaked and the brakes stopped in front of Bailiu's door. The nurse knocked on the door twice and said in a low voice, "Patient in room 706, did you open the door just now? You haven't graduated from a hospital. Rules and regulations! It is strictly forbidden to go out after nine o’clock in the evening, and the door of the ward can only be opened after nine o’clock in the morning.”
The nurse sternly questioned Bai Liu while knocking on the door, which was smashed in the middle of the night.
Of course Bai Liu would not open the door for her.
The nurse slammed the door for a while, with a drawn-out tone, and said a little strangely: "If you insist on opening the door of your ward during these two time periods, if something gets into your ward, the hospital may Not responsible for your personal safety."
After finishing speaking, the nurse pushed the cart and left in front of Bai Liu's room.
What, Bai Liu frowned when he heard what the nurse said, it seemed that there was something wrong going around outside at night.
But this time period...
After nine o'clock in the evening, it is forbidden to open the door of the ward before nine o'clock in the morning, which is equivalent to prohibiting patients from going out, but this time period is just in time with children's phone calls (six to nine in the morning, nine to twelve in the evening) is consistent.
The time when the child came out to call the investor happened to be the time when the investor couldn't go out, and the [something] that the nurse said before got into your ward—assuming that the [something] that the nurse said was a monster, then this monster came out The time of the activity is exactly the time when the children come out to make a phone call.
It seems that Xiao Bailiu would take a great risk to call him.
At 09:30, just when Bai Liu thought that he would not receive a call from Xiao Bailiu tonight, his walkie-talkie rang.
Bai Liu picked it up, there was a sound like a bad connection coming from this version of the walkie-talkie, and there was the gasping sound of someone running at a high speed. It felt like someone was running with this walkie-talkie, and they were running very fast, out of breath. angry.
Bai Liu didn't make a sound, and waited until the panting over there basically subsided, and said over there, "Wait a minute, something is chasing me."
After Xiao Bai Liu finished speaking, the system interface on Bai Liu's side popped up:
[System prompt: Congratulations to player Bai Liu's sub-identity line for triggering the monster book]
[Renewal of "Love Welfare Institute Monster Book" - Deformed Children (1/3)]
[Monster Name: Deformed Child]
[Features: Faster movement speed (350-600)]
【weakness:? ? ? (to be explored)]
[Attack method: I like to play with the player's sub-identity line, and playing with the player's sub-identity line will make the player's sub-identity line disappear in the orphanage]
After about five minutes, there was the sound of scraping and rubbing clothes from the opposite side. Xiao Bailiu seemed to be hiding somewhere, and said in a low voice: "Okay, it hasn't caught up for a while, you can talk."
Although Xiao Bailiu's voice was a little ups and downs, it could be heard that there were no obvious mood swings, and he was not afraid of chasing his things.
Bai Liu asked: "What is chasing you?"
"A child." Xiao Bailiu said, his breath was still a little uneven, "squatting on the ground, chasing me on all fours like a monkey, very thin, always drooling and laughing, looks very strange, looks like intelligence The kind of congenital fool who can't do it."
Xiao Bailiu also described this, and Bai Liu understood. He also stayed in an orphanage before, and the Down syndrome patient had a very distinctive appearance, squinting eyes, flat nose bridge, long mouth, and fat cheeks. Drum, the neck is very short, the distance between the eyes is very wide, and the eyeballs always like to run diagonally upwards. Back then, Bai Liu saw some children in the orphanage nicknamed these fools "Frogs" because they looked like frogs.
Such a frog-like child is lying on all fours on the ground with his head up and drooling, giggling and chasing Xiao Bai Liu... Fortunately, Xiao Bai Liu is very obsessed with money and is willing to call him for money, otherwise normal children would have been killed I cried in fright, who can guarantee that I will keep running without hanging up the phone.
"Then he left?" Bai Liu asked.
"No." As soon as Xiao Bailiu finished answering this sentence, Bai Liu heard a child's whisper and the sound of all fours on the ground, between the cloth of pants and the dirt and gravel, but the sound was very fast , forming a hissing sound effect like a snake swimming, and the child chasing Xiao Bailiu moved very fast as soon as he heard it.
After Xiao Bailiu said no, he fell silent again.
Bai Liu could only hear the sound of his rapid breathing and footsteps when he was running, as well as the innocent laughter of the child who followed behind him like a shadow and looming, and the sound of hissing pants rubbing against the ground.
The sound became louder and louder, and it felt that the contact area between the fabric and the ground should be large. It seemed that the child chasing Xiao Bai Liu was dragging his lower body to chase him, and he was about to catch up with him soon.
Bai Liu didn't speak, he was waiting quietly, not disturbing Xiao Bai Liu who was chasing him.
After waiting for another 5 minutes, Xiao Bailiu spoke out of breath: "It's ok."
"Did you avoid him?" Bai Liu asked.
"No, he went to chase other people." Xiao Bailiu said without any sympathy in his tone, "Some other kid came out to make a phone call, and he was chased as soon as he came out. Now he is crying and running, and that kid didn't chase me anymore. .”
Bai Liu understood that there should be only one weird child chasing around outside the orphanage, and now that he has shifted his hatred to chase others, Xiao Bai Liu will be relatively safe.
He asked, "What's the situation over there? What happened after you were brought in by the dean?"
"After we were brought in, the process was normal. The people in the orphanage allocated rooms for us. I shared a room with three other new boys, and a blind little girl lived in another building. Opposite us, we all lived in the same room. In the room on the first floor." Xiao Bai Liu said that the order of things was very clear, he first briefly talked about the overall situation, and then began to talk about the points that Bai Liu would care about.
Xiao Bailiu was still panting for breath: "Our children's phone was supposed to be confiscated. The teacher of the orphanage expressly forbids carrying this kind of communication tool, but then they said that we are new here and they have to give us a period of adaptation. It said that we were allowed to carry it for a week, but it set a time for us to make calls, which was the same as what you said, and that we could not make calls in the room, saying that it would disturb other people’s rest.”
"And all the teachers and nurses I met in the orphanage warned me not to follow the sound of the flute at night, and not to go out when I heard the sound of the flute, saying that the person playing the flute would abduct children." Xiao Bailiu's tone was very calm , "As a result, at [-]:[-] in the evening, I heard someone whining on a clarinet outside and playing some nonsense nursery rhymes."
"I don't want to go out, but the person who plays the flute is too cheap. It's exactly one o'clock after nine o'clock, but there is no way. You said that I will call you once and give me money per minute according to the call time, so I came out anyway." .”
Don't follow the sound of the flute, Bai Liu is thoughtful. There is also such a plot in the orphanage in the real world. It is said that the four children went out voluntarily after hearing the sound of the flute and then disappeared.
At that time, Bai Liu thought of a fairy tale.
"Don't follow the sound of the flute. It is said that the sound of the flute will abduct children. What do you think of when you hear this?" Bai Liu asked thoughtfully.
Xiao Bailiu over there was silent for a while: "You mentioned this, then you should think of something similar to me, "The Pied Piper of Hamelin", I remember the name."
"That's the name." Bai Liu said, "It's an English children's poem."
The poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" tells the story of a small town that was once plagued by plague. The townspeople were tortured by rats running around. A cloth-clothed piper came to the town. He said that the sound of his flute could drive away the mice, but he demanded that the townspeople pay him for it.
The townspeople agreed, the piper played the flute, and the mice came out from all corners of the town, followed the piper in a row and walked away, the piper played and played, walked and walked, the mice It seemed very happy to follow behind, and followed closely.
The Piper went to a creek, and the water was up to his waist, and the mice went into this creek, too, and they were all drowned in the waist-high water, and floated about on the creek.
The townspeople were happy when the plague was over, but they backtracked and were unwilling to pay the piper.
Then the piper blew his flute again, and the sound of the flute sounded, and this time it was the children of the townspeople who came out from all directions in the town.
The children laughed and made noises, and they lined up behind the Piper one by one like the previous mice, jumping up and down, rejoicing, and never turned back no matter how much the townspeople cried out to dissuade them, the Piper took them out of the town, and Nowhere to be seen.
Some people say that the Piper took these children to the waist-high river and tried to drown the children to retaliate against the townspeople. You can continue to get paid.
"Did you see who was playing the flute?" Bai Liu asked.
Xiao Bailiu recalled: "I didn't see it, the sound of the flute was everywhere, I felt that there was more than one person, but the skill of the flute player was not very good, he played several wrong notes, and played back and forth for half an hour. Those few nursery rhymes give me the feeling that I am a beginner.”
"Did any child come out after hearing the sound of the flute?" Bai Liu continued to ask.
"No." Xiao Bailiu replied quickly this time, "Except for the rooms where we newcomers sleep without a teacher to guard them, the other rooms are accompanied by teachers or nurses, so we are the only ones who can come out. Call up."
On the other end of the phone, there was the ear-piercing cry of the child, and the ethereal and foolish laughter of the child chasing him. At this moment, Xiao Bailiu seemed to just remember, and asked, "By the way, being chased The one is Xiao Miao Fei Chi, the child of another investor."
"Xiao Miao Fei Teeth?" Bai Liu asked with interest, "Why did he come out to make a phone call? Oh yes, this kid has a bad habit, stay away from him."
Xiao Bailiu asked: "What hobby?"
Bai Liu: "He likes to eat human flesh."
There was a silence on the other side of the phone, and then I remembered Xiao Bailiu's calm and rational voice: "Then I understand why he came out to call at night. He saw the child crawling on the ground and wanted to come out. I thought he was coming out." The one on the phone, after you said this, I think maybe he used the phone call as a cover to come out to eat."
But what Naihe encountered was a hard stubble.
"I have a grudge against this kid's investor, so you shouldn't socialize with him," Bai Liu said.
"Do you need me to do anything for you? For example, kick him, make him fall to the ground, be caught up, and then be killed?" When Xiao Bailiu talked about doing such bad things, his tone was very It's very bland, not at all like a teenage boy, "But I will help you with something, and you have to give me money."
"Well, don't need it for now, just protect yourself, you are more important to me than him." Bai Liu rubbed his chin and chuckled, "I don't remember that I was so courageous at your age, daring to do such mischievous things matter."
Xiao Bailiu replied indifferently: "It may be that you are at my age, and you haven't met an investor who dares to offer you a chat price and who is not a good person at first sight?"
When Bai Liu heard these words, he paused subtly. He recalled his 14 years old.
…I have to admit that if he hadn’t had Lu Yizhan unswervingly leading him on the road of being a man according to the law when he was 14 years old, and met an investor who gave him money to do evil, then he would have really done this kind of thing out.
"You don't need to worry about Xiao Miao Fei Chi, but there are two children, if something happens to you, you can help." Bai Liu changed the subject nonchalantly, "One is called Mu Ke, and the other is the blind girl, of course, I will also pay you for helping them."
Xiao Bailiu asked in a slightly weird tone: "You want to save these two little boys and girls too? What is your relationship with them? Give me money to save them? They look pretty..."
"What are you thinking? She is a child that a friend of mine wants to adopt." Bai Liu immediately got the implication of Xiao Bailiu's words, he was a little speechless, Xiaobaiu's moral level is too low for him when he is an adult point, "I'm not as bad as you said, I'm not interested in children."
Quickly considering that he always wanted money before his life, Bai Liu added, "But the premise of everything you do to help them is to ensure your own safety, and you are the most important thing to me, remember this .”
Xiao Bailiu over there was silent for a few seconds, and did not answer him directly.
