Chapter 83

The dean took them to the nurse. While questioning Bai Liu sternly, he knocked 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 half past nine, just when Bai Liu thought that he would not receive a call from Xiao Bai Liu 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 players, and will make players disappear while playing]

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 Bai Liu finished answering this sentence, Bai Liu heard a child's soft voice coming from the other end of the phone and the sound of all fours on the ground and pants rubbing on the ground, but the sound was very fast, forming a kind of The hissing sound effect of a snake swimming makes the child chasing Xiao Bailiu move very fast when he hears 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 following behind him, and the friction between the fabric of his pants and the dirt and gravel. , the sound is very loud, and it feels that the contact area between the fabric and the ground should be large. It seems that the child chasing Xiao Bailiu is dragging his lower body to chase him.

After waiting for another five 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 four other new boys, and a blind little girl lived in another building. We all lived in the opposite building. 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 calm , "As a result, at 9:30 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 again, trying to drown the children to avenge 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 us newcomers who are sleeping in the rooms where there is no teacher guarding 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 this sentence, he paused subtly, and he recalled his fourteen years old.

... I have to admit that if he hadn't been for Lu Yizhan to unswervingly guide him on the road of being a man according to the law when he was fourteen years old, and met an investor who gave him money to do evil, then this kind of thing would have really happened to him. It can be done.

"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 his question directly, but said without emotion: "The call time is 17 minutes and three seconds, and if you wipe it off, it will be seventeen minutes, one hundred yuan a minute , a total of seventeen thousand, what you said, remember to settle it for me."

"And you are not a person who is not a good person at all, so don't say such things that you care about me." Xiaobai Liu remained expressionless, "It sounds disgusting, Mr. Investor."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Bailiu over there hung up the phone with a snap.

Bai Liu: "..."

After about a minute, Bai Liu's walkie-talkie rang again, and the voice on the other side was still polite and calm: "By the way, Mr. Investor, I fell down three times tonight. Please reimburse me for the medical expenses. I will let the hospital pay for it." I will send you the bill, good night."

"Crack" and hung up again.

Bai Liu took away her walkie-talkie, and said to herself in disbelief: "When I was fourteen, was I so annoying?"
