Chapter 48: Twins 13 The meaning of twins
When returning to the room, Zhu Ci's gaze fell on the bed at the back, where an NPC child was lying.
This child is the one who came back after disinfection.
Wu Yi and Mo Yangbing also followed his gaze and looked over. When they saw the child, Mo Yangbing asked, "Do you want to ask for some information?"
Zhu Ci took out the information he found from Li Hongmei's office.
The first one is the personnel record data.
There are ten interns. The photos of each intern in the information are without their faces. The names of these interns are recorded, but they are only ranked from one to ten.
Zhu Ci asked, "Is it possible that Li Hongmei couldn't see our faces clearly and it had nothing to do with the clothes?"
This is also a possibility, but Li Hongmei can see the children's appearance clearly.
Then Zhuci turned to the next document.
The name on this document is much clearer.
Mo Yangbing took a look and said, "Is this... a formal employee?"
Indeed, judging from the names, it is exactly the same as the list that Mo Yangbing got.
Regular employees are different from interns. Regular employees’ photos are always available.
However, the information Zhuci found was not complete. There were only ten data pages for official employees, and there were more than ten names on the list Mo Yangbing got.
Zhuci searched through the materials, seemingly trying to find a name, but he didn't find it.
I couldn't find it before, and I can't find it now.
"Maybe the information is incomplete." Zhu Ci said.
Mo Yangbing nodded.
"It is obvious that in Li Hongmei's eyes, only nannies who become formal employees will have their own names and their appearances will be remembered," the speech concluded.
So the question is, how to become a formal employee, and where are formal employees?
"Now I have another question." Zhuci said, "Do you remember the player who was asked by the NPC to extend his internship?"
If the appearance of interns is changing, how can NPC accurately extend the internship period? Is it possible that all PE teachers are extended together?
Mo Yangbing thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that this is a joke?"
Zhu Ci tapped the table and said, "Becoming a formal nanny may not be a good thing."
This is also in line with the thinking of most players. Becoming a formal nanny may lead to death.
Mo Yangbing asked, "So what you mean is that the clothes on my body should be thrown away sooner or later?"
"Becoming a nanny may lead to death, but we cannot live without the identity of a nanny." Zhu Ci calmly stated his point of view.
Babies and nannies are mutually restraining, and now it seems that they are restraining each other.
Babies can contaminate players, and nannies can remove the contamination.
Becoming a nanny would certainly lead to an unknown and terrifying end, but in Zhuci's view, being on the same side as the babies was also suicidal.
How to find a balance between the two is the key.
"I want to become a formal nanny." Zhuci said.
Wu Yi was a little confused. He asked, "Why do you want to become a formal nanny if you are going to die?"
"Tonight, Wu Yi, you put on this dress and try to stay with me. I think I need to interact with those children." Zhuci said.
"Give me the clothes when I feel down."
…
Tonight, all three of them were together.
When the night got deep, the children inside made no sound and got up to play with their toys before climbing back into bed.
Mo Yangbing originally wanted to ask the child about the contents of the disinfection room, but the child did not seem to be very smart and was often in a daze or sleeping.
Wu Yi is not good at dealing with children. No matter how he plays with toys or talks to him, the child doesn't respond much.
Zhuci said to them, "Don't ask."
He walked to the bedside, looked at the child who had buried most of his face in the pillow, curled up his limbs, and was almost sleeping on his stomach, and said softly: "Do you miss your mother?"
"mother……"
The child choked and sobbed.
The child's sleeping posture looks like he is curled up in his mother's womb, and the way he hugs the pillow looks like he is simulating a mother's embrace.
The lifelike stone statue of the mother appeared before his eyes again. Zhu Ci covered the child with clothes and said softly, "You will be able to see your mother after you have a good sleep."
Mo Yangbing and Wu Yi didn't say anything. They moved a little further away and waited for Zhu Ci to come over.
The apparent camps in this dungeon are babies and nannies, so players can easily forget the existence of the mother.
Mo Yangbing sighed: "It seems to be getting more and more complicated."
"No, it's becoming clearer and clearer." Zhu Ci raised his hand to push the strands of hair behind his ears and spoke softly, "The child longs for the mother's embrace, but the mother is forced to raise her sword and aim it at the child in her belly. The nannies in this place set up such a stone statue, which means that their spearhead is aimed at the child."
"But their policy is to protect the children, the only exception was the incident at the swimming pool..."
"It's not a pity that the contaminated children died, but they are still trying to save the contaminated children. And they also know clearly that the children hate them and try to kill them."
Mo Yangbing looked at him and said, "The nanny's attitude towards babies is very complicated. Do you want to say that the nanny is actually the incarnation of the mother?"
"Not necessarily. Why can't the mother be an independent individual?" Zhu Ci glanced at the door. "Part of the background story can be guessed this way."
"The mother had great expectations for the child in her belly, but she had to get rid of the child for various reasons, so her attitude towards the child was contradictory. The mother's responsibility may be very special. She knew that for moral reasons, she could not let the child be born."
[“That’s a good analysis, but it’s still just speculation.”
"It's different from what the guys next door are speculating. There's no mother part."
"Oh my God, the speculation next door is that the nanny gathered the children together for some kind of mission, and in the name of the nanny, many children were killed."
"The anchor may have missed some clues because he didn't act at night. After he acts at night, he may have different ideas."
“However, I think it would be the most complete if the mother is included in the story, because ghosts and NPCs can deceive people.”
"Before the system beep sounded, I was skeptical of both claims."
"Is it possible? What the anchor said does not contradict other players' analysis. A mother is a mother and a nanny is a nanny. The two can be combined."]
After listening to his analysis, Mo Yangbing thought for a moment and asked, "What does this have to do with twins?"
Regardless of which side the players guessed, none of them were connected to the name of the copy: "Twins".
"Perhaps, we need to explore this in our mother's belly."
But tonight, I don’t know if it’s possible.
…
Night fell as expected, and they waited in the house.
Mo Yangbing looked at the door and wanted to stand up to open it, but Zhu Ci stopped them and said, "Don't worry, wait for them to knock on the door."
According to what Mo Yangbing said last time, his door was pushed open by a player, but Zhu Ci experienced the situation at night last time, and the person standing outside the door should not be a player, but the boss of the little ghosts inside.
A figure emerged in Zhuci's mind, the whirlpool in the pool that day, and the baby who was able to escape the influence of the whirlpool.
How many babies like this are there, or is there only one?
What is on the other side of the vortex?
The toys on the floor began to move silently.
It was a similar scene to the previous night.
The scene before Zhu Ci was absurd, but because the pollution he was exposed to this time was not as severe as yesterday, in his eyes, these moving toys were still toys, and they were controlled by children of strange shapes.
The children were playing with their toys by themselves. Sometimes they would glance at Zhu Ci, Mo Yangbing and Wu Yi, as if they were trying to confirm something.
They were now, not in bed, and two of them were still wearing nanny clothes.
Zhu Ci didn't look directly at the children. He quietly tugged at the corner of Mo Yangbing's clothes and said, "Be careful."
These children had a clear goal, which was the nanny. Their expressions were terribly numb. In order to pester the nanny in the room, they even gave up the opportunity to go out and chose to get close to the nanny, even though Mo Yangbing and Wu Yi had not violated any taboos.
Apparently, ghosts at night have more power than those during the day.
It is not a wise choice to take off the clothes and put them on the doll at this time. When the doll wearing the nanny's clothes is possessed by the ghost, they will have to face the crisis that may arise outside at any time and be attacked from both sides.
Zhu Ci felt that he couldn't let these kids find out that he could see them, so he closed his eyes and said to Mo Yangbing, "Do you have any props that can get rid of ghosts?"
He was a little worried that the clothes would change faster the next night.
Wu Yi said: "I have."
He took out some talismans from the space and scattered them out.
When the spell touched the children, it caught fire.
The transparent ghosts let out a sharp cry, and their pale eyes turned dark, looking very painful, but the corners of their mouths were raised, forming a smile that almost covered half of their faces.
The toys in the air made crackling sounds. His actions seemed to irritate the children.
Wu Yi was a little scared: "Although the level of my talisman is a little low, it should still be useful."
Zhu Ci felt that there were more lines in front of him, not to mention Mo Yangbing.
The ghosts had already walked up to them, stretching out their arms as if asking for a hug, or as if they wanted to hold them forever.
Mo Yangbing also took some props, a bottle of spray.
Zhu Ci looked at the spray and suddenly had some impression. It was that morning when the nanny NPC took the children to disinfect and sprayed it in the room.
