Mu Ke was dragged down from the elevator on the fifth floor by Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. He was dragged all the way into Miao Feichi's room, and the door was kicked shut by Miao Feichi with a bang.
The nurse outside the door began to patrol in high heels, and the sound of her footsteps echoed clearly in the night.
Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang stood on either side of the shivering Mu Ke, guarding the door to prevent Mu Ke from leaving.
Miao Feichi squatted down and looked at Mu Ke on the ground. He stretched out his long tongue and licked his dry lips: "Okay, now it's time for interrogation. Tell us where Bai Liu is."
Mu Ke gritted his teeth, his shoulders were shaking violently, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Miao Feichi impatiently held Mu Ke's chin, pinched his jawbone and lifted his head: "I'll ask again, don't think I can't torture you just because you only have 6 health points. I have plenty of ways to hold you on the verge of death and make you suffer. Or you can just open your system panel and let us see what you two communicated on that keyboard."
Mu Ke's mandible was squeezed so hard that it made a creaking sound. He felt as if his temporomandibular joint was about to be dislocated. He felt sore and painful that he couldn't help but shed tears. He spoke incoherently, "I don't know what you are talking about—"
Miao Gaojiang also squatted down, with a hypocritical and gentle expression, as if he was helplessly advising Mu Ke, much like a greasy middle-aged man advising young people to drink more wine at the table: "Mu Ke, if you were an ordinary player who defected to us, we would not want to touch you. As long as you tell the truth, we will also kill you during the support season to affect our support rate. But if you continue to be so unyielding and don't even open the panel for us to take a look, then we really have no choice."
Mu Ke's breathing was rapid, but he still didn't speak.
"Forget it. He must be controlled by Bai Liu. We can't get anything out of him." Miao Gaojiang stood up and tapped Miao Feichi's shoulder with his index finger. He said calmly, "Kill him. If you kill him, the keyboard in his backpack will fall out. It doesn't matter if he can't understand it. At least Bai Liu will have one less person to use."
What to do, Mu Ke's heart was beating extremely fast - LFG, Bai Liu probably meant for him to seek cooperation from Miao Gaojiang and the others, but if he wanted cooperation, he would have to sell out the keyboard that Bai Liu used to communicate with him, but the other party might not be able to understand the information on the keyboard.
However, if you disobey and are killed, the opponent's keyboard will drop anyway.
"Let me show you." Mu Ke raised his head.
He tried his best to control his trembling hands, opened his system panel, picked out the keyboard, and prayed in his heart that Bai Liu would not send him any new information at this time, but as soon as the keyboard came out, Mu Ke closed his eyes.
There are three new keycaps missing from the keyboard.
Miao Fei looked closer with interest: "I can understand what this means. The missing digits should be 9, 0, and 6. This should be the room number of a ward."
"This should be the room number of Bai Liu's ward." The smile on Miao Gao's stiff face changed from fake to real. "Mu Ke, is this your master asking you to go and merge?"
Miao Feizi pressed down on Mu Ke's neck and ordered, "Tell him you'll be there soon."
"There are nurses outside now." Mu Ke's hands were shaking. He was completely confused, but he tried his best to keep calm. "How are you going to get up there?"
"Kill the kids and take the safe passage." Miao Feichi patted his face with his double swords and smiled, "Did you forget? My stamina has recovered, and my movement speed is faster than the nurse."
Mu Ke was forced by them to reply using the keyboard and Bai Liu came up immediately.
Miao Feichi looked at Miao Gaojiang and asked, "Do you want to kill Mu Ke now?"
Miao Gaozhuang thought for a while and rejected Miao Feichi's suggestion, saying that if Bai Liu, a player with extremely quick reaction and high intelligence, was still using the keyboard to contact Mu Ke during this process, but Mu Ke did not respond, Bai Liu would probably become suspicious. So Mu Ke should be kept for the time being, and they would be executed together soon after seeing Bai Liu. Mu Ke was extremely desperate after hearing this.
While the nurse was taking the elevator to patrol another floor, Miao Gaojiang and the others were dragged out of the ward very quickly, and they went up to the ninth floor through the emergency passage.
But there are deformed children in the safe passage.
Mu Ke watched in horror as Miao Feichi casually dealt with the deformed children who had chased them all over the hospital last night as if they were cutting melons or vegetables. These children were cut into pieces by Miao Feichi's double knives, and the blood vessels on the broken parts seemed to be wriggling like hungry blood. The children's sharp cries filled the emergency passage.
Miao Feichi just clicked his tongue in annoyance, and the two knives flashed across the child's neck. The child's head rolled to Mu Ke's feet, his eyes staring with unwillingness and resentment, but his grown mouth could no longer make any crying sounds.
This is a crushing level of strength. Mu Ke remembered the fear of being dominated by Miao Feichi's double swords last night, so he became more and more nervous. He didn't even know whether his interpretation of the LFG was correct.
...Does Bai Liu really want me to obey Miao Feichi and the others? If this continues, I will rush straight to the seventh floor!
Mu Ke began to pray frantically that Bai Liu was not in 906.
At the same time, the welfare home.
Xiao Bai ran out to make a phone call, looking around cautiously as he walked: "I pulled the key cap to 906 as you requested. Is this your ward number? Are you in 906 now?"
"Yes." Bai Liu replied, "Someone contacted you using the keyboard before. How did you respond?"
"Let him form a team. In this situation, his keyboard will fall whether he lives or not, exposing his identity as a spy. It's better to let him surrender first." Xiaobai frowned, "But you told me that those two people are likely to attack you at night. I thought you asked me to call 906 to give them a chance to escape. Why are you at 906? In this way, they will be caught by you right from the start..."
"Don't worry about me. I'm setting a trap to lure them up. You just need to make sure your side is safe." Bai Liu said calmly, "You did a good job before. It was the right decision to let the person on the other side seek to release the enemy and form a team. What about you? Are you ready to escape from the orphanage?"
When Xiao Bailiu saw the deformed children running around in the children's playground, he quickly found a place to hide to the side to avoid being discovered.
After two days of chasing, he had become very good at finding places to hide himself. Bai Liu was out to scout the area. During the day, Bai Liu asked him to escape with the child tonight because tomorrow was the pairing day, [Wednesday].
"From 9 to 12 o'clock, there are deformed children wandering around in the children's park, and the teachers are not completely asleep. If it were any other day, I would not recommend running away at this time, as it would be easy to be caught by the deformed children and teachers." Xiao Bailiu explained what he saw on the phone in a very calm tone, "But today is the baptism open day, and the door of the welfare home is not closed yet."
"After midnight, the gate of the orphanage will be closed. In the early morning, there will be children playing the flute who will come in and take away the remaining children, so we must run before midnight."
"But if we choose to run before midnight, it will be a problem to avoid the teacher and the deformed child, right?" Bai Liu asked after thinking for a while.
"Yes." Xiao Bailiu said coldly, "But as for escaping, I think it will become more and more difficult as time goes by. There are five deformed children tonight. The number of these deformed children increases by two every night. Now the number is exactly the same as the number of children we want to escape tonight."
"If there were only three or fewer, I would consider letting Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang lure them away, and then I would take Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi and run. But tonight there are five, and on average each of us will get a deformed child chasing us. Letting Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang lure them away can only lure away three at most, which won't be very effective."
Bai Liu became interested: "You made Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang willing to go with you so quickly?"
Xiao Bailiu replied calmly: "It's easy to convince them."
"How did you convince him?" Bai Liu asked.
"I made a deal with them." Xiao Bailiu said slowly, "I said I could take them out, but they needed to make a deal with me."
Bai Liu raised an eyebrow: "You used my personal skills to buy their souls? You got the hang of it quickly."
"No." Xiao Bailiu retorted, "I didn't spend money to buy their souls. They paid me to take care of their souls. They gave me twelve dollars and fifty cents, and then entrusted the people, or souls, to me, and then I took them out."
"But I don't know why, the Miao Feichi and Miao Gao zombie soul banknotes I got are not the same as what you said." Xiao Bailiu said with doubt and unhappiness as if he had been cheated.
But it was clear that the kid didn't spend a penny, yet he earned two souls and $12.50.
Xiaobai frowned: "After trading with Miao Feichi and the others, the coin system prompted me that the transaction was incomplete and I only had part of the soul debt rights of that character. I couldn't use the other party's skills and system panel, and could only simply check their system panel."
"Then what can you do with the soul banknotes you got?" Bai Liu asked.
"I can't do anything." Xiao Bailiu said a little unhappy, "The system states that I need to gather all the souls and successfully trade with all the souls at the same time, or some of the souls die and return to the position of the trading object. Only then will this soul note in my hand be effective for the transaction. But it's not completely useless. I can use it to restrict the actions of Miao Feichi and Miao Gaozhuang, which will make it easier for me to escape tonight."
Bai Liu seemed to be lost in thought. This was the reason why he had given the coin to Xiao Bailiu before - he wanted to try to get Xiao Bailiu to trade for the souls of Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, and indirectly control them from the children's side.
But what you get in the end is just a semi-finished product like this - this soul coin with only half the debt right is equivalent to being torn into two halves of a coin. It seems that you have gained something, but you can't buy anything from the trading partner with this incomplete coin.
To obtain the opponent's complete soul, either Miao Feichi and Miao Gao's original bodies must be sold to him at the same time, which is what the system calls collecting the complete soul. The possibility of this is 0.
Miao Gaojiang is not a fool, why would he do such a thing? And the previous incident with Zhang Kui made this guy very vigilant. Although he did not guess the specific working method of Bai Liu's skills, Miao Gaojiang probably guessed that Bai Liu's skills were not as simple as they seemed.
Throughout the day today, Miao Gaozhuang did not take anything from Bai Liu, nor did he respond to any of Bai Liu's verbal traps. He almost never answered Bai Liu's imperatives and questions, and always used active sentences to talk to Bai Liu - this was a major drawback of Bai Liu's control skills. When the opponent was on absolute defense, it was difficult for Bai Liu to take the initiative in control and trading.
Of course, there is a second possibility, which is to kill the original bodies of Miao Feichi and Miao Gaozhuang and let their souls return to their secondary identity lines.
The probability is even smaller than 0.
But it's not completely absent.
"Xiao Bailiu, don't forget what I warned you when you use this skill." Bai Liu reminded, "This trading skill restricts both parties. You promised to take Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang with you to escape, so you have to do it, otherwise you will also--"
"--It turned into half a soul coin and was locked in an old wallet, right?" Xiao Bailiu said calmly.
Bai Liu was silent. He had never told him any information about his identity from beginning to end. The name they registered was just that of an investor. No one knew their names. The system seemed to intentionally prevent these children from knowing their true identities. To the child NPCs generated by the system based on them in these welfare homes, they were more like an illusory symbol.
It is estimated that it is difficult for children to imagine that these weird and sinister "investors" are their future selves.
But Bai Liu was not surprised that Xiaobai Liu could guess who he was.
Xiao Bai said calmly, "You should have guessed it when you gave me this coin. I guessed it based on the information in your coin. I am a very curious person. When I see information, I will think about it. Now I finally understand why you are willing to die for me."
"I am just like the other kids. I am your secondary identity, half of your soul, right, the future Bai Liu? Or the kind investor who has remained anonymous."
