Chapter 75

Bai Liu looked at Lu Yizhan: "Talk about the specific situation last night first."

Lu Yizhan's eyes closed, he took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then let it out through his lungs: "Last night around three o'clock in the morning, the 37 children who were brought in all had severe vomiting..."

"The things these children vomited out were whole mushrooms, but when they were admitted to the hospital in an emergency the day before yesterday, all of these children had been induced to vomit and have gastric lavage. They were fasting and infusion all day yesterday, and none of them Children have eaten, there is no way they have something in their stomach."

Lu Yizhan paused as he said this, and he shook the soot on the trash can in the corridor: "This incident frightened the nurses and doctors, so I immediately called the police, and then prepared to take urgent blood tests on all the children..."

Lu Yizhan slowly exhaled a puff of smokey white air: "But except for the living child, the nurse pierced into the blood vessel, and they could only extract a light green translucent liquid from the bodies of these children who kept vomiting, and they couldn't get it out at all. Blood, these liquids were tested and found to be mushroom juice."

Bai Liu was not frightened, these things are like the antique mirrors that can hide huge bombs and avoid security checks, they are loaded into this [horror game] in the [reality public beta mode], in the horror game, what unbelievable things happen It's all possible, and drawing out the mushroom juice is still a common game trend that Bai Liu thinks is relatively normal, and he expected it.

Bai Liu thought for a while and asked: "What about the living child? Is her blood normal? Has the result of her blood test come out?"

"It came out, a little mild anemia, but generally normal." Lu Yizhan said.

Bai Liu pondered for a while and then asked: "Then, did you find any key information to solve the case from this awakened child?"

"No." Lu Yizhan sighed with a wry smile, "This little girl is blind, she doesn't recognize our voices, she refuses to communicate with us, and only occasionally nods and shakes her head in response to us, and she can't see, she is also very Maybe she didn't know anything, because of her eyes, she didn't even know that what she ate that day was mushrooms."

"This little girl is called Liu Jiayi, and she has a half-brother named Liu Huai. She won't speak until her brother arrives." Lu Yizhan said with a sigh, "The main reason is that the little girl doesn't want to speak, otherwise I will I'll take you in and have a chat with her, you're quite good at deceiving children."

Bai Liu's expression was unreadable, and he slowly raised his head to look at Lu Yizhan: "What do you say her brother's name is?"

Lu Yizhan was taken aback: "My name is Liu Huai, she is a college student from a prestigious university, and she has been working part-time to support this little girl, but about half a year ago, she was suddenly fostered in the orphanage where the accident happened, and she will come to see Liu Jiayi in about a week Once, but he does not have the obligation to support his half-sister, why, do you know her brother?"

"We met once." Bai Liu smiled, "I played games online with him, he should still remember me, maybe he can let me chat with his sister."

—————

Liu Huai was sitting stiffly in the ward. On the bed was a thin little girl curled up with her knees in her arms. This little girl was Liu Jiayi.

But this is not the main reason for Liu Huai's stiffness, what makes him stiff is Bai Liu who is sitting across from him and smiling kindly at him.

Liu Huai didn't understand why the game was released. He could meet Bai Liu, the big devil, by such a coincidence. As soon as this person came up, he hooked his shoulders in a very familiar way, and looked at him with crooked eyes. He got close and said that he wanted to chat with his sister Liu Jiayi.

Liu Huai lamented in his heart that he was unlucky, but he still brought Bai Liu in.

But because Liu Jiayi can't accept the environment of too many people, she can't help screaming, Liu Huai refuses more people to enter the ward, the police just guard the door and don't come in, first let Liu Huai do work for Liu Jiayi, and then Liu Huai In the name of his friend, Bai Liu was brought in.

So currently there are only Liu Huai, Bai Liu, and Liu Jiayi in the ward.

Bai Liu and Liu Huai sat on the left and right sides of Liu Jiayi's ward. Liu Jiayi sat in the center of the bed with her knees hugged. She buried her face in the gap created by her hands and knees. She was wearing a dress that was a bit too loose for her. The hospital gown was hanging empty on her emaciated frame.

This little girl is just like what Lu Yizhan said, thin people are a bit deformed, like a small underdeveloped skeleton, and she is several sizes behind the overnourished contemporary children in Bailiu's impression of those fast food restaurants.

Liu Huai couldn't bear the heavy atmosphere, he used the quilt to block Bai Liu's sight of looking at Liu Jiayi, and stood in front of Liu Jiayi.

Liu Huai stared at Bai Liu vigilantly like a beast guarding its cubs: "Bai Liu, what do you want from me?"

Bai Liu has always been straightforward in chatting: "I'm not here to find you, I'm here to find your sister."

"My sister?!" Liu Huai suddenly wrapped Liu Jiayi in a quilt, hugged her in his arms, and looked at Bai Liu with hostility, "What do you want her for?"

"Liu Huai, how old is the youngest player you've ever seen in a game?" Bai Liu suddenly changed the subject.

Although the surveillance cameras in the ward are being watched by the police, due to the existence of the system's [muting] mechanism, there is a high probability that Bai Liu's words will be censored, so he asked this sentence without any scruples.

"Why are you asking this?" Liu asked suspiciously.

Bai Liu looked up at Liu Jiayi who was trembling in Liu Huai's arms: "I was wondering if your sister will become the youngest player in the game."

As the only child who survived the [Mushroom Poisoning Incident in Welfare Institute], Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu survived the [Mirror City Explosion Incident], and Mu Ke survived the haunted dormitory in that Japanese school by chance. Down the same, there are certain similarities in the same way.

At present, the players that Bai Liu knows need to meet two conditions. The first one is [there are players around the player].

The transmission mode of this game is similar to a virus, and it is transmitted by the mutual influence mode of [person-to-person]. For example, Mu Ke affected Bai Liu, and Li Gou affected Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu.

And Liu Jiayi is surrounded by Liu Huai, she meets the conditions.

The second condition that Bai Liu thinks players should meet is that they have experienced at least one copy of [Official Horror Game] and survived successfully.

And these two conditions, Liu Jiayi obviously met.

Bai Liu guessed that the little girl who escaped death might become a reserve player selected by the game.

Liu Huai froze completely. He looked at Bai Liu slowly, and looked at Liu Jiayi who was still trembling slightly in his arms with an unbelievable gaze. Finally, he couldn't control his trembling. He looked at Bai Liu in astonishment. Changing flow: "...but she is only eight years old, how could she be a player... and I specially controlled myself to only find her once a week. This kind of frequency that I influence her cannot directly affect her ability to enter the game ..."

"Why is it impossible?" Bai Liu asked calmly, "Could it be that the system also prohibits minors from playing games like parents?"

The parent, Liu Huai, was choked and speechless. He subconsciously hugged Liu Jiayi tightly in his arms, with a flustered expression on his face: "But she can't see it at all! She entered the game, and in such a harsh living environment, she can't even see it." Can't survive! The system has no reason to choose her!"

"Then how did she survive this nasty poisonous mushroom incident?" Bai Liu's attitude was very calm.

Even if he couldn't see the only surviving child in the copy of the horror game in the real world, Bai Liu would not think that Liu Jiayi was a very simple child.

Liu Huai was blocked by Bai Liu and had nothing to say, so he could only forcefully refute Bai Liu: "Jiajia survived the poisonous mushroom incident only because of luck! But she is not Du Sanying, so she can gamble on luck all the time. !"

At this moment, Liu Jiayi spoke softly, her voice was very weak: "Brother, no."

Her thin hands gently pulled Liu Huai's coat, and a very frizzy little head protruded from the road of Liu Huai's coat. The eyeballs of the eyes were gray and white as if covered by smog, but the voice was soft and soft. Clearly, "Brother, it's not because I was lucky that I didn't get poisoned, it's because I secretly dumped the rice that the teacher gave me."

Liu Huai was taken aback: "Why did you pour out the rice that the teacher gave you?"

Liu Jiayi's pale and dry lips pursed, and she said in a low voice: "Brother, don't blame me for pouring out the rice. I felt that something was wrong with the teacher that day. She must take the initiative to feed me. She always threw the bowl to me before. I ate it myself, and then I poured it out and pretended to eat it while she was feeding other children."

Bai Liu spread her hands and smiled: "It seems that your sister is much smarter than you."

"No matter how smart she is, I won't let her join the game!!" Liu Huai was completely irritable, and he stared at Bai Liu with red eyes, "Bai Liu, no matter what you want to do, my sister can't do it!"

Liu Jiayi, who was hugged tightly by Liu Huai, circled Liu Huai's neck in confusion: "Brother, what are you talking about? What am I going to enter?"

Liu Jiayi was obviously [blocked] from the chat between Bai Liu and Liu Huai. Liu Jiayi, who hadn't entered the game yet, couldn't hear the specific conversation between Bai Liu and Liu Huai about the [game].

"Liu Huai, I just want to cooperate with you." Bai Liu said lightly, "If Liu Jiayi is really selected by the game, then you can't stop Liu Jiayi from entering the game."

"And I have a way to help you, to help Liu Jiayi." Bai Liu looked up at Liu Huai and said softly.

Liu Huai sneered: "You mean to control us, right? Bai Liu, you are basically the same as Zhang Puppet. I thank you for helping me, but I will not let my sister fall into your hands!"

"I don't know what use she is to you now, so you came to the door, but get out!" Liu Huai yelled, staring at Bai Liu like a ferocious beast protecting its cubs, his back arched like He was about to rush over and strangle Bai Liu to death in the next second.

Bai Liu was silent for two seconds, then stood up, he didn't make too many excuses, he really wanted to save Liu Jiayi, but it was only because Bai Liu saw that Lu Yizhan was thinking about adopting this little girl.

And if Lu Yizhan wanted to choose this little girl as his adopted daughter, Bai Liu would try to save her life.

Lu Yizhan wanted to help Liu Jiayi very much, Bai Liu could see that Lu Yizhan had always liked to meddle in other people's business.

It's like when Lu Yizhan in the orphanage would secretly distribute things to Bai Liu who felt that he didn't have enough to eat, although Bai Liu didn't feel that he was ever hungry.

Bai Liu has never understood Lu Yizhan's logic of helping others, but as a former beneficiary of Lu Yizhan's logic, Bai Liu will choose to indulge this guy's self-righteous choices most of the time. After all, Lu Yizhan will pay him, Bai Liu is not in vain Do things, and Lu Yizhan understands his logic very well.

This is also the reason why Bai Liuhui and Lu Yizhan have always been friends.

Bai Liu casually tore a piece of paper, wrote her phone number on it, and put it on Liu Jiayi's bedside: "I can help Liu Jiayi survive her first game, but only if her soul must be sold to me. I got her through the first game."

Only by getting Liu Jiayi's soul, Bai Liu can help Liu Jiayi operate the panel.

Liu Huai angrily tore off the piece of paper and was about to throw it in Bai Liu's face: "I won't allow it!!!"

"I think you gave up her guardianship when you put her in the children's welfare home. You are not her legal guardian." Bai Liu looked down at Liu Huai calmly, "So I don't think you have the right to decide for Liu Jiayi."

Bai Liu's casual words completely angered Liu Huai, Liu Huai's eyeballs turned red due to extreme rage, but instead of anger, he smiled: "Bai Liu, do you know why I entered the game because of my desire? ?”

"I want to let her see the light." Liu Huai took a deep breath, turned his head and stopped looking at Bai Liu, "You go, I won't entrust her to someone like you, then her future must be very bright dark."

Liu Huai's eyes were a little red and she turned her head away, "I have tasted enough of being controlled by others, so her life must not be controlled by you."

"When I was controlled by Zhang Puppet to betray the fourth brother..., the person who lost his best friend and the most tacit teammate at that moment was not only the fourth brother, but Mu Sicheng." Liu Huai lowered his head sideways, unable to see With a clear expression on his face, his voice was dry and hoarse, "Being forced to hold a blade to be the one who hurts you will not feel good...so I don't want her to fall to my level."

Bai Liujing paused for a moment: "Controlling a little girl of a few years old doesn't bring me any value. My best friend wants to save your sister, which is the only value for me to do so."

Liu Huai turned to look at Bai Liu in astonishment.

Liu Jiayi turned her head a little ignorantly, her misty eyes showed a strange sense of fragility on her pointed and thin face, she was hugged by Liu Huai, like a light gray animal whose tentacles were bound by someone Following the butterfly, she rubbed Liu Huai's chin with the top of her head, as if to appease Liu Huai's violent mood swings.

Under Liu Huai's suspicious gaze, Bai Liu didn't say any more, turned around and opened the door of the ward calmly and left.

Lu Yi stood at the corner of the stairs and waited for Bai Liu. This man was still smoking, and there was a pile of cigarette butts on the trash can next to him, and he didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked.

Seeing Bai Liu approaching, Lu Yizhan's eyes lit up: "How about it, do you have an idea?"

But when Lu Yizhan saw Bai Liu's expression clearly, he froze for a moment.

Bai Liu always wears a smiling face when he is in a normal or happy mood, and he is very calm. When his emotions fluctuate violently, his face will not show any ostentatious expression, but a very heavy and depressive thing floats on his face. Eyes and face, this is usually the expression when he encounters something that he can't figure out, and when he falls into deep thinking.

To put it simply, Bai Liu was not in a very good mood at this time.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yizhan couldn't help lowering his voice, "Have you been scolded? I heard Liu Huai yelling at you in the ward. What did you say to offend him? But you didn't say anything, but some The families of the victims will indeed be very emotional, and you don't have to take it to heart."

"Sometimes, I still can't understand the emotional logic of human beings." Bai Liu's gaze was a little scattered, which was one of the manifestations that he was still thinking.

"It's really strange." Bai Liu said to himself, "I can't understand some of Liu Huai's logic. He should be a very selfish person in nature, but for his sister, the law does not require him to support him, but Liu Huai can." Do this for the other party."

Bai Liu didn't suspect that Liu Huai lied to him, people's subconscious reaction can't deceive people, Liu Huai was obviously afraid of him, but he kept holding Liu Jiayi in his arms, blocking Liu Jiayi.

But he quickly recovered from this state.

Bai Liu glanced at Lu Yizhan: "But this is not the first time I have encountered this kind of self-devotion that confuses me. Let's hurry up and go to the orphanage."

—————

Bai Liu entered the children's welfare home with Mu Ke.

Mu Ke came to Bai Liu's house very early to guard the door, but Bai Liu was called away earlier by Lu Yizhan, and he was called to the hospital by Lu Yizhan's phone call in the early morning. Fortunately, Bai Liu went home to pick up something halfway. Only then did I see a young master Mu Ke squatting in front of my house, hugging his legs and staring at him.

The young master knocked on the door and didn't open it. He probably thought Bai Liu was sleeping, and didn't even dare to call him, so he just stood there stupidly at Bai Liu's door waiting for Bai Liu to wake up.

Moreover, Mu Ke was sent by his bourgeois father whom Bai Liu often saw on TV. Mu Ke's father and Mu Ke were waiting in front of Bai Liu's door together. Even this Mu father respected Bai Liu very much. It's very likely that Bai Liu was still sleeping so he didn't open the door, so he chose to wait at the door with his son.

When Bai Liu came home, he saw Mu Ke and his father waiting at the door of his house, he didn't even dare to speak loudly, and whispered in a low voice, for fear of disturbing Bai Liu's sleep.

I don't know how Mu Ke told his family. The big boss regarded Bai Liu as Mu Ke's savior without any doubt. He seemed to think that Bai Liu took Mu Ke away for two months to get medical treatment. Bai Liu didn't ask Ye Mu Ke how the young master fooled his father, anyway, the big boss firmly believed that Bai Liu was Mu Ke's savior doctor, and thanked Bai Liu for saving his little son.

And after learning that Bai Liu was going to the children's welfare home to care for the children, the big boss who didn't know how much money was immediately moved and said that he would also do good deeds for his son's upcoming medical journey, and wanted to donate to the welfare home , and personally drove him and Mu Ke there in a high-profile Maybach with a unit price of more than 10 million.

After arriving at the orphanage, Mu Ke did not follow behind his own father, but followed Bai Liu obediently, keeping sneaking glances at Bai Liu, and even yawning, like a dog that wants to cling to its master but has not yet obtained permission. cat.

Bai Liu could sense Mu Ke's strong uneasiness, which was not good for entering the game, and he was obliged to appease the overly tense young master, so he acquiesced in Mu Ke's sticking to him.

Bai Liu said hello to Lu Yizhan, saying that he and his friend, that is, Mu Ke, went to the orphanage to see the situation inside.

Lu Yizhan went in with his colleagues to investigate.

Because Mu Ke's father slapped his forehead and said that he would donate money, Bai Liu and Mu Ke were led in by the director of the Children's Welfare Institute with great respect.

The dean of the Children's Welfare Institute is an old lady who looks too old. She has many age spots on the tip of her nose and on both sides of her cheeks, which remind Bai Liu of corpse spots. There is nothing but the smell of decaying mushrooms. When looking at people, it is like looking at a piece of goods, which makes Bailiu feel a slight discomfort.

Mu Ke's father went with the dean to discuss donations, and the old dean asked a teacher to lead them around the orphanage.

This is a very dilapidated children's welfare home. Its architectural style was ten years ago. There are three low-rise buildings forming a triangular circle. On the wall, the middle area surrounded by three buildings is a small kindergarten-like place for children, with faded and rusted colored iron horses, swings and seesaws.

But these devices are very old, dangling lonely in the muddy grass, with the sound of the wind, the seesaw moved a bit, the empty seat on the right went down and got up again, and the swing swayed regularly, and the amplitude became bigger and bigger , making a creaking sound, as if something was sitting and playing on it.

The teacher who led the way turned pale, she didn't dare to look over to the park, she lowered her head shyly and walked quickly to lead the way to the outermost building among the three buildings, Bai Liu followed behind to the end of that building I took a look outside and found two faded gold lacquer medals hanging outside the building, which were [National Top Ten Children's Welfare Homes] and [National Minors Protection Cash Unit].

Bai Liu glanced at the awarding date under the medal. It has been more than ten years since today, that is, not long after the establishment of this orphanage.

The teacher at the front began to introduce them in a low voice: "Our orphanage is an old-fashioned orphanage. It covers an area of ​​25 acres at the beginning, with a building area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters. There are professional classrooms for disabled children, musical instrument teaching classrooms, and an internal school doctor's office. Wait, it has more than 300 beds, can accommodate 300 children, and has more than 200 nurses..."

After Bai Liu looked around for a week, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "250,000, a building area of ​​nearly 10,000? 200 nurses?"

Bai Liu hadn't seen the so-called nurses since he came in. It's very likely that there are not many nurses in this orphanage.

The teacher paused, and began to speak intermittently: "That was when it was just built, and then... a part of it was let out. Later, our orphanage shrank to a certain extent due to funding problems, and most of the nurses were dismissed."

"Originally there were 46 children left in our orphanage. This year's Children's Day rehearsed a show for the behind-the-scenes investors of this children's orphanage, but they have funded this children's orphanage for ten years. There are too many, so...they decided not to sponsor this year, and we can't find a new sponsor for the time being..."

Bai Liu asked in a calm tone: "You originally had 46 children here, and there were 37 at the hospital, and there are 9 more children. Why didn't I see any of them? The remaining 9 children can let them come out." meet us?"

The teacher turned pale again. She twisted her fingers and said nothing, as if she didn't want the child to come out.

There is a problem, Bai Liu narrowed his eyes.

Mu Ke and Bai Liu looked at each other, and immediately understood, the young master pretended to cough twice, took two steps forward rather arrogantly, raised his chin and said: "We initially plan to donate 10 million to your children's welfare home. We want to meet the children who are still in this orphanage, isn't that too much to ask?"

The high figure of 10 million obviously moved the teacher leading the way. Her eyes and lips were trembling strangely. After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind, and turned to look at Bai Liu and Mu Ke: "Are you serious?" Do you want to donate? 10 million?"

Mu Ke seemed to really think that 10 million was a small amount of money, and the cheating child nodded without hesitation.

The teacher took a deep breath and said very quickly in a low voice, "There are not nine children who can come to see you, only five."

"There are four more?" Bai Liu frowned.

There was an unconcealable panic in the teacher's eyes, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Four other children disappeared last night. They sneaked out to play on swings and seesaws at night, but while they were playing, they gone, but the swing and seesaw stayed up all night..."

The wind blew violently in an instant, and all kinds of equipment in the children's playground behind Bailiu were blown by the wind. The temperature in the yard dropped sharply. The cold wind made the seesaw rise and fall faster and faster, and the swing swayed higher and higher.

The swing and the seesaw stopped at the same time, the swing stopped motionlessly in the wind, and the seesaw hovered strangely, like a balance.

It was as if the thing that had been playing on it suddenly jumped down, holding the toy equipment and standing aside, staring at the group of adults.

After a while, the seesaw hovering like a balance suddenly fell to the left at an abnormally slow speed, and something on it rolled down along the sideways seesaw. Bai Liu looked over the falling seesaw and found It was a doll with a broken head.

The thing that rolled down was the doll's head.

And this doll that rolled down with the head was wearing a white shirt and black pants, with its limbs and head broken off. The doll had a weird smile on its face, and a poor-quality necklace that looked like a coin was hanging on its chest.

This is a doll that is exactly the same as Bai Liu's current dress.
