Chapter 89

Xiao Bailiu paused for a moment, then continued to explain: "And you didn't say good evening to me last night, which is usually what I would say to the beneficiary when I took the money, but you just You don't need to say this to me, you don't have to say that, you didn't say it last night, it's a bit strange to start off with good evening."

This is true, Bai Liu thought about it, he would only be polite and courteous to strangers when he had money to take, what strange words, similar to Zhang Puppet's master, Bai Liu could say it, but he didn't realize it at this point.

"How did you think of asking Mu Ke to talk to me on your phone?" Bai Liu asked with a smile. "And why are you with Mu Ke tonight? And how is your situation tonight?"

The phone on the player's side is bound and cannot be exchanged, but the phone on the child's side is not.

However, when it is extremely difficult for almost all children to go out and make calls, it is even more difficult to ask one child to take another child out, and to hand the phone to another child at the moment the phone is connected, and let the other party talk. Miao Gaozhuan, who had never received a call from a child, probably never thought about it.

Children's executive ability and obedience are much lower than those of adults, especially compared to those adults who have already played in the game. Under the premise that it is difficult to call them, like Xiao Bailiu, who stays up in the middle of the night for money and drags Mu Ke out to run around the yard, not to mention Miao Gao's stiffness, even Bai Liu himself is a little surprised Xiaobaixu's rare execution ability.

Although he knew that he could do anything for money with a high probability, but when the phone was connected and Xiao Muke's voice was heard, Bai Liu couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise.

Xiao Bailiu reported straightforwardly: "Because there will be a baptism tomorrow, the teacher asked to notify investors and parents, so many children came out to make calls tonight, but so far I have not succeeded, and there are some children who are attracted by the sound of the flute. So the deformed child didn't run after us, and the situation is fine."

"As for why I am with Mu Ke tonight, I think you are asking knowingly." Xiao Bailiu's tone was cold and disgusted, "Didn't you ask me to take care of the two children for you last night? You said you would give me money Yes, one of the children I took care of was a blind girl. I now know her name is Liu Jiayi, and one is this Muke. I can’t get in touch with the girl for the time being, but I sleep in the same room with Muke for money. When I call you tonight, I will definitely be looking for Mu Ke who is in the same room."

"I meant to let you hear his voice to check the goods for you, to verify that the little kid is in good condition, can run and cry, but I didn't expect something to happen to you, so I just stopped talking and put Call him and let him pretend to be your investment child."

Xiao Bailiu's voice over there paused slightly, and then he questioned Bai Liu very directly: "Actually, I think when you told me last night that you gave me money to help others, it was for Mu Ke to give you money now." Shall I call?"

There was a slight smile in Bai Liu's voice, he leaned lazily against the wall: "You can say that."

When he told Xiao Bai Liu that I would give you the money to take care of Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi, he knew that Xiao Bai Liu would drag one of them out to call him tonight.

At the age of fourteen, his obsession with money has never been stronger. It is impossible for him to give up such an opportunity to get money, but Bai Liu has been a person who relatively abides by transactions since he was a child, so he will not easily deceive himself about transactions Object, the best way to verify the success of the transaction is to let Xiao Muke talk to Bai Liu directly, saying that he is not bad.

As expected, Xiao Bai Liu did the same.

"You can just ask me to drag Muke out to call you tonight, so you don't have to go around so many circles with me." Xiao Bailiu's voice has a kind of greenness unique to teenagers, but because he is too calm, he looks very indifferent , "If you give me money, I can do anything for you."

"But then you will know in advance the hostile plan I am going to make against the other two investors." Bai Liu said unhurriedly, "You will definitely guess what I am going to do and what kind of terrible threat I will face. What does this call mean to me, you might sell my plan to my enemy while calling, and get more money from my enemy, this is what you will do, isn't it ?”

Xiao Bailiu over there fell into a long silence.

Bai Liu chuckled lightly: "I can't let you guess what I'm going to do, because you are also a very dangerous guy."

"I even think that in this game, you are more dangerous to me than anything else, but luckily I know you, and based on what I know about you, I will tell you a fact, Bai Liu, I give you There must be more money than anyone else in this world, and I can even give you all my money."

Bai Liu lowered her eyes slowly: "There will be no one who is more generous to you than me, Bai Liu."

Because I am you, and you are me, money flows strangely between you and me across time and latitude, but the essence belongs to the identity of [me]. The money I own is owned by you and me at the same time, but However, the money Bai Liu possessed would not decrease by a single cent.

"All the money?" Xiao Bailiu's tone was still indifferent, but there was an inexplicable sarcasm in what he said, "Then you are really a rare and kind-hearted person who is not selfish at all. Mr. Man."

"I'm really selfish and greedy, so I definitely don't treat others like this." Bai Liu was not angry when she was ridiculed, and she still had a friendly smile on her face, "But what should I say, You are the most special person to me in this [world], so I must have no reservations about you."

Xiao Bai Liu did not answer Bai Liu's words, but subtly and indifferently maintained a suspicious silence.

Bai Liu continued unhurriedly: "But I can understand what you're thinking. You must be thinking that human beings are instinctively selfish animals that are selfish. As an investor, why should I be a stranger for you? Going against instinct to do this? There will definitely not be such a person in this world, and even if they exist, they must be pretending to get more benefits—after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch, right?"

Xiao Bai Liu on the opposite side fell into a strange silence again, it was obvious that Bai Liu knew what the fourteen-year-old him was thinking.

"I thought the same way at your age." Bai Liu leaned against the wall, his head raised and his eyes slightly closed.

Because of the frailty of the body, the copy of the orphanage that has a certain meaning to him, and the existence of the game NPC Xiao Bai Liu, Bai Liu rarely immersed himself in recalling the past.

What was he like when he was fourteen? Bai Liu thought that he was not very good at remembering.

Because people are indeed very forgetful creatures, maybe people's memory is really only seven seconds, and the rest of the memory is just something that people build to deceive, fool and comfort themselves based on their shallow sensory memory.

But the moment he heard Xiao Bailiu's cold, emotionless voice, the moment Bai Liu closed his eyes, he could remember what kind of person he was at the age of fourteen.

Loneliness, indifference, and incompatibility with everything around him, no one can understand this thin little boy who reads horror stories all day long, and always watches all kinds of horror stories and games available in the orphanage.

When Bai Liu was fourteen years old, he was not as good at hiding his expression and disguising himself as he is now. When looking at people, his eyes were three-pointed and repulsive, and his whole body was full of a cold aura that no strangers should enter, so no children were willing to approach him.

Of course, this has a big problem with Bai Liu himself.

When the toys of other children in the orphanage were trains or building blocks donated by well-meaning people, Bai Liu’s favorite toys were scary dolls with missing arms and legs. When other children were reading comic books and story books, Bai Liu On the side, I read books like "The Record of the Slender Ghost's Murder" that were donated to the orphanage for some reason.

But at that time, when these human cubs have not yet entered the society to accept the abuse and indoctrination of various adult rules, every child in the orphanage will be adopted by their parents for good toys and delicious food. Chances are that even the not-so-soggy straw beds are vying for it.

No one taught them to do this, stepping on other people for their own better life is something similar to biological instinct, Bai Liu realized this very early on, so he kept getting farther and farther away from these people.

And in the orphanage, there are two people who can't argue about these things at all, one is Bailiu and the other is Lu Yizhan.

Bai Liu didn't need these things, he liked money more, and orphanages generally don't give children this thing, and Lu Yizhan felt that other people needed it more, so this fool offered to give it up.

Lu Yizhan foolishly gave up better food, better toys, and the chance to be adopted. Looking at the happy smiling faces of other people using the fruits of his exploitation, at this time, the other party only needs to treat him. A simple and superficial thank you from Lu Yizhan can make this fool scratch the back of his head and show a brighter smile than the other party.

"I used to think that there really wouldn't be any human beings in this world who give everything for others." Bai Liu's voice was very soft and calm, "Even if you give for others, it's to get the kind of human beings who have been brainwashed and nurtured by the world's moral principles. The self-sacrifice and self-satisfaction of self-satisfaction, the essence is to please oneself."

"There are no purely good people in the world, only purely bad people."

Xiao Bailiu's breathing sounded rapidly on the opposite side, he dragged Xiao Muke, who was still sobbing softly, and ran around the children's welfare home late at night, but Bai Liu knew he was listening.

This little guy hasn't hung up the phone yet, because he's billed by the minute, and he's really a hard-working chat worker—even though he's a child worker.

There was a lazy and idle smile in Bai Liu's voice, he seemed to recall something funny: "Then when I was unwavering in these thoughts, I met a fool who volunteered to be with me Be friends."

"He kept asking me why I was alone, and he was hungry and frugal to give me food. When he found me reading some bloody and strange books, he just froze for a moment, and then sneaked outside to get them for me. Look." Bai Liu said in a flat tone, "But I was indifferent to him from the beginning to the end, he was giving without any satisfaction, I thought he would give up soon."

Xiao Bailiu over there finally spoke up, and he asked, "Has he given up?"

"He stayed away from me for a while, I thought he gave up." Bai Liu paused, "Then one day at noon, I saw a [Slender Ghost] doll behind the yard."

It was a very clumsy slender ghost. The doll suit on its body was made from bed sheets that were not in the orphanage, and the hat was tattered. It looked like a failed handwork by a primary school student. Towel hangs the tattered clothes and says to Bai Liu foolishly——hi.

During that time, the book that Bai Liu often read was the story of the slender ghost, because the orphanage had not been donated any other books of this kind.

But Lu Yizhan may have misunderstood that Bai Liu liked this kind of strange legendary creature. The teenage Lu Yizhan stayed up late secretly and hid in the quilt to make such a doll, then put it on his head, and stood bouncing in front of Bai Liu. His head was sweating profusely from dancing, his eyes were clean in the inferior puppet suit, but his eye sockets were red from staying up late.

Lu Yizhan regarded Bai Liu as those children who like animation characters, and he purely hoped that Bai Liu would be happy because of this.

But he didn't want Bai Liu to thank him, and of course Bai Liu didn't mean to be grateful to him, because this is really...

"...He's so stupid." Xiao Bailiu complained expressionlessly.

"Yes, I thought so too at that time." Bai Liu smiled lowly, "I looked at him like I was looking at a fool, and then politely explained that I am not a little fan of Slender Ghost, I just like to read these horror stories I love horror stories about these grotesque, horrific creatures eating foolish, erroneous humans."

Xiao Bailiu was quiet for a while and said, "I like it too, but he probably... doesn't like it."

It can only be said that normal children would not like it. At that time, Bai Liu was a freak in the orphanage, because the books he read and the paintings were not normal, very bloody, and belonged to the type that teachers would pay attention to. Anti-social tendencies and the like, soon under the strict monitoring of the teacher, they threw away all the things Bai Liu liked.

Books, games, and even the puppet toys that Bai Liu took a second look at. Their defense against Bai Liu was like guarding against a potential prisoner.

In fact, to some extent, this kind of defense is also correct.

Bai Liu restrained her blatant hobbies and pretended to be a good boy who knows how to get back.

Lu Yizhan doesn't like such unconventional horror stories and games.

But because he doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that he can't make Bai Liu like it, and he knows that Bai Liu likes it, but he just pretends not to like it.

"He really doesn't like it, but this guy has always been very popular. He has searched a lot of horror games and horror story books from somewhere." Bai Liu's eyes were still closed, he recalled, "There are really a lot, and then Without telling the teacher, send it to me, let me play, let me watch."

Xiao Bailiu was silent for a long time this time, and he asked, "Why did he do this?"

"I asked him that too." Bai Liu's voice was so soft that he could hardly hear him, "He said, aren't we friends? This is something I can do for you, so I did it."

Xiao Bailiu was puzzled from the bottom of his heart: "Since when did you become friends with him? I remember that you didn't agree to this matter?"

"I don't know either." Bai Liu said, "But Lu Yizhan decided so wishfully. I told him that I was probably a freak and might do bad things in the future. He told me very seriously that if I want to If he is a bad person, he will be a policeman and arrest me."

Bai Liu chuckled lightly: "So he reassured me that he would not let me be a bad guy, because a policeman's friend cannot be a bad guy."

"He played a lot of horror games with me for many, many years, and then he gradually realized that I was not a very normal person, but he still insisted on being friends with me."

"Why?" Xiaobaixu asked again, he was a little confused this time, "You can't understand each other at all, will being friends with you bring him any benefits?"

"There are no benefits. I'm a troublesome person in all aspects." Bai Liu admitted this readily, "I'm not good at being a human being, but that friend of mine didn't become friends with me for any benefit."

Xiaobaixu: "What is that for?"

Bai Liu: "He just wants to let me have a friend."

Lu Yizhan's reason is that simple, he wants to be friends with Bai Liu, he wants Bai Liu to be happier, he wants Bai Liu to have a friend, he doesn't have sympathy or pity, he just thinks so, so he does it.

Lu Yizhan was the first strange human being that appeared in Bai Liu's cognition. The existence of this person almost subverted Bai Liu's three views-this person is a high-level person who has no private purpose and has a very high moral standard. Such an easy-going, purely good person, in Bai Liu's world view, he is simply a textbook-level self-devotion fool.

He is Bai Liu's only friend in this life.

"There are still such purely good people in this world. Their existence is against the theory of evolution and human instinct, so they live very hard." Bai Liu said softly, "But they do exist, and you will meet them soon. arrive."

Yes, Bai Liu, you will meet this friend who is willing to play games with you, pretend to be a slender ghost to make you laugh, and accompany you through many years, Bai Liu said softly in his heart.

"This kind of person is rare, isn't it?" Xiao Bailiu's tone was still so calm, "It's a miracle in the world that you can meet one. I won't meet such a fool who pays for wishful thinking."

"You will." Bai Liu smiled, "You still meet me, don't you?"

"I also know that you are a bad boy, Bai Liu, and I also know that you may betray me, but I finally told you my plan." Bai Liu's tone was soft, with a strange temptation, "You really treat me It's important, more important than the plan, even more important than me."

"You are the most important person to me in this place." Bai Liu smiled, "I promise I will be your strange and reliable friend."

This time Bai Liu was silent for a long time, so long that Bai Liu thought he would hang up the phone, and then Xiao Bai Liu changed the subject in a very blunt tone: "You also like horror games? Have you ever played anything fun?"

Bai Liu lowered his eyes carelessly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unobtrusively, and chatted with Bai Liu slowly: "Yes, I have played two very good games, one is called "Siren Town" , and one is called "The Last Train Exploding."

At the age of fourteen, he is still easy to deceive, and he will be slightly moved by Lu Yizhan's self-sacrificing type of fool.

And if he met the 24-year-old Bai Liu, it would be much more complicated.

Bai Liu didn't have much time to give psychological counseling to his fourteen-year-old self, and he felt that Xiao Bai Liu didn't need it either. He said that such a long series of stories was just foreshadowing and persuading Xiao Bai Liu to cooperate wholeheartedly with him—because unfortunately The best tool to seduce Xiao Bai Liu - his points, or money, Bai Liu has already thrown all of them to Miao Fei Chi and the others.

This is also a very dangerous point. The sum of points, that is, the sum of money of all the players under Bai Liu's control is lower than that of Miao Feichi and the others. The total number of items that have great control over Xiao Bai Liu is less than his enemy.

And soon after Xiao Bai Liu saw them the next day, this very keen kid would soon notice this - that is, Bai Liu was not as rich as Miao Fei Chi and the others.

This is very embarrassing, when Xiao Bailiu knows that they are hostile, according to Bai Liu's understanding of himself, Xiaobailiu will definitely fall to the side with more money, and he will very likely betray himself to Miao Feichi's father and son The information——Bai Liu knows very well that at the age of fourteen, he is not a very obedient child. From the current point of view, Xiao Bai Liu is only obedient to his money.

Even if this would lead to his own death, Xiao Bailiu wouldn't care. When he was fourteen years old, his desire for money and life was much stronger than it is now.

Therefore, besides money, Bai Liu needs a point that can restrain Xiao Bai Liu from doing things wrong for money. This point should be as equal as money. Judging from Bai Liu's known experience-a powerful weapon to restrain himself, that is Lu Yizhan .

Lu Yizhan can restrain Bai Liu, who has a strong desire for money, from walking on the road of not breaking the law and crime for so many years. Apart from this person's unusual stubbornness and his determination to be friends with Bai Liu, there is another very important reason - that is, Bai Liu's love for Bai Liu. Lu Yizhan is very curious.

Bai Liu is a person with relatively strong curiosity, full of desire to explore all kinds of bizarre non-human behaviors, and his curiosity in Lu Yizhan has never diminished over the years.

Bai Liu was curious about how long this Lu Yizhan, a freak like himself, would be able to be a good person, and what the driving force of this person's behavior was, and when this curiosity was strong enough, it could even offset Bai Liu's love for him to a certain extent. desire for money.

Lu Yizhan does not exist in this dungeon, so Bai Liu tells Xiao Bailiu that there is such a person, and plays the role of Lu Yizhan himself. Bai Liu extracts the most restraining element from Lu Yizhan—— It's just this curiosity.

Xiao Bailiu started to be curious about him and wanted to explore the logic of his behavior, and that was the beginning of all the stories.

Just like he did to Lu Yizhan back then.
