Xiao Bailiu, who was still wandering outside, took a look at the hung up phone. His expression was slightly tense, and the coin on his chest kept vibrating. Xiao Bailiu opened the system panel on his chest and saw many prompts:

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu's main identity line stamina tank has been restored. You can use stamina recovery potion to restore stamina. Do you want to restore it? ]

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu's main identity line's physical strength has been restored to full capacity]

[System prompt: Does the player Bai Liu use the personal skill (Thief Monkey Paw) in the main identity line? ]

Xiao Bailiu took a deep breath and closed the system panel. He looked at the teacher who was gradually approaching his bedroom in the dark. After Xiao Bailiu took a walk outside and talked to Bai Liu on the phone and planned his escape point, he tiptoed back and lay on the bed as if nothing had happened, breathing evenly as if he was fast asleep.

After lying on the bed to make sure that the teacher had finished inspecting their bedroom, Xiao Bailiu, who was pretending to be asleep, jumped off the bed swiftly. At the same time, Xiaomiao Feichi, Xiaomiao Gaojiang and Xiaomu Ke also jumped off their beds.

They looked at Xiao Bailiu who walked to the bedroom door, looked at each other tacitly, and then followed Xiao Bailiu out of the bedroom quietly and walked into the dark corridor. Xiao Muke looked at the bedrooms and corridors swallowed by the darkness, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, cheered himself up, and nervously followed Xiao Bailiu into the vast night.

Liu Jiayi's bedroom was on the first floor of the building directly opposite Bai Liu's bedroom. In the middle of the two buildings was a small square like a children's playground, where deformed children were wandering around. It was impossible for Bai Liu and his friends to cross directly through the small square where the deformed children were wandering around, so they had to find another way.

They could climb out of the window of the women's restroom over there, and then go around the back of the building to the first floor where Liu Jiayi was. This would also effectively prevent them from being seen and caught up by the deformed children - it was Liu Jiayi who told them this route.

Bai Liu entered the women's restroom very quickly. He looked left and right and went straight in. He climbed out of the ventilation window next to the last cubicle in the women's restroom and landed in the grass. Behind their building was a lush bush. Bai Liu felt the wall and walked along the edge of the wall to the other building.

As they left, they could still hear the clear and ethereal laughter of a child coming from upstairs.

The laughter got closer and closer, and finally followed Bai Liu and his group like a shadow. It was as if something had flipped out of the building and was following them as they groped their way to the other building. It was also following them, groping their way along the wall, and playing this fun game with them.

Mu Ke, who was walking at the end, had to turn back from time to time because of the laughter of the approaching child. His face was almost pale with fright - he always felt that something was following them.

"Don't look back." When Mu Ke couldn't help but look back when he heard the footsteps on the grass again, Xiao Bailiu suddenly spoke calmly, "Something is following us, but it may think we are playing a game. Let's go quickly and don't let it catch up."

The faces of the deformed children in the grass finally appeared under the bleak moonlight. They raised their deformed or not deformed faces, revealing huge smiles that were too naive and looked eerie. They raised their hands that were stained red by the crimson soil after crawling in the mud, and spoke intermittently:

"Play! Play with me! Stay and play!"

Mu Ke was so frightened that he almost exploded. The group of people ran wildly and finally managed to climb into the window of the women's restroom in another building before being caught by the deformed child behind them.

Miao Gaojiang was still terrified and fell to the ground with a pale face. He was the last one to climb in, and one of his shoes was torn off by the deformed children who were chasing them. Fortunately, Bai Liu reacted quickly and turned back to snatch it back for him. Most of these deformed children had physical disabilities and could not perform the difficult action of climbing in through a small window. At this time, these deformed children who could not climb in through the window gathered around the small vent in the women's restroom.

Several human-like but very strange faces were piled up in front of the ventilation window in the moonlight. Several pairs of big, lifeless eyes stared at Bai Liu and the others motionlessly, and kept trying to climb up and reach in, muttering to themselves:

"I want to play! You have to play with me! Come out!"

Bai Liu handed the shoes he had snatched back to Miao Gaojiang, and glanced at the deformed children with a faint look: "They can't come in for the time being, put them on, so you can run away later."

Miao Gaojiang took it with a complicated expression. He said thank you. Bai Liu responded indifferently and turned out of the women's restroom - they finally arrived at the building where Liu Jiayi's bedroom was.

When Xiaobailiu and his friends were walking along the corridor to Liu Jiayi's bedroom, they heard Liu Jiayi whispering to a teacher, "Teacher, I don't seem to be feeling well."

Her tone was very weak, her delivery was very realistic, and there was a slight cough. As a "commodity" that would be taken away the next day, getting sick the night before was not a good thing for a teacher in this orphanage.

After the teacher repeatedly asked about Liu Jiayi's symptoms, Liu Jiayi acted hesitantly for a while. After Bai Liu imitated the meowing of a cat outside, Liu Jiayi said to the teacher, "Okay, let's go see a doctor." The teacher took her hand and got off the bed. When they reached the door, Liu Jiayi suddenly cried out and fell to the ground. The teacher was so scared that she turned around subconsciously and exposed her back to Bai Liu and his group who had been waiting at the door.

Xiao Bailiu led a group of children and rushed forward. The will to survive made Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, two children who already had the bodies of adults, work extremely hard when they strangled the teacher. Soon the teacher's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

The "weak" Liu Jiayi instantly let go of the teacher's hand, climbed up from the ground and went to make love. Her misty eyes "looked" at Xiao Bailiu and the others anxiously: "I can't see, you guys quickly look for the key on her! Other teachers will come to patrol later! Time is very tight to escape tonight!"

Xiao Bailiu and his friends quickly found a bunch of keys from the teacher's waist. Liu Jiayi couldn't see them, so it was difficult for them to run away. Xiao Bailiu asked Miao Gaojiang, a relatively strong boy, to carry Liu Jiayi on his back. They stepped over the teacher who was lying face down with his eyes rolled up by the stranglehold, and ran out quickly.

Except for Mu Ke, no other child looked back at the teacher who was strangled to death by them.

They all seemed to be born criminals among children. They had a certain talent for harming others and were bad kids who would not feel guilty for the victims. Mu Ke, a child with relatively normal values, followed behind them out of place. He turned his head and looked at the teacher lying on the ground with terrified eyes, but he soon retracted his gaze and ran after them nervously.

After all, tonight they had no time to waste on sympathizing with the victims.

Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, the two fast runners, rushed out first, entered the square and led the deformed children away for a while. Xiao Bailiu took this opportunity to open the baby carriage locked at the edge of the children's park. Miao Gaojiang came over with Liu Jiayi on his back. The two ran out of breath and got into the car, while Xiao Mu Ke——

Xiao Mu Ke crossed his legs on the walker, screamed with tears in his eyes, and ran with his legs bent: "Bai Liu, drive faster! Don't make a fucking phone call! The kid behind me is catching up!"

Xiao Bailiu sat in the driver's seat. This toy car was not fast to begin with, and there were four children crammed into it. Except for Liu Jiayi, who was relatively light, the others were all teenagers in their teens, not light either. They drove even slower, almost moving with difficulty.

The deformed children behind them loved this chasing game very much. They were laughing and dragging their feet on the ground, or crawling on all fours. They were about to catch up with Xiao Bailiu and the others. But the moment these deformed children, with their faces full of joy, reached out to touch Xiao Bailiu on the toy car, a burst of black smoke like flames suddenly came out of the toy car.

Black smoke rolled up, revealing countless charred corpses that were roaring and waving their claws and fangs. It seemed like smoke and reality at the same time, a mixture of illusion and fantasy. They roared and spewed raging fire from their mouths, driving away the deformed children who were running towards them.

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu's secondary identity line uses props (passenger's blessing). When riding on a vehicle, the souls of these passengers will help you drive away other monsters.]

The deformed children were frightened. They scattered with horror in their eyes, chattering, but they still followed Xiao Bailiu and the others at a distance, alertly, curiously, and unwillingly.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Mu Ke, who was crying heartbreakingly and crying with tears in his eyes, hiccuped in surprise. Xiao Bai Liu held a children's mobile phone in one hand and the steering wheel of a toy car in the other hand. He looked calmly and indifferently into the receiver: "Hey, Bai Liu, are you okay over there?"

There was silence on the other end—no one answered his call.

Xiao Bailiu was still making calls. He hadn't heard Bai Liu's voice for fifteen minutes, since the brief call at 9:15.

Xiao Bailiu's eyes were cold. He quickly opened the system panel and found that Bai Liu's health points had dropped from 6 to 3 in the few minutes when he got in the car to escape. It was still dropping at an alarming speed, and various values ​​were jumping around dizzyingly.

Especially the stamina value, which has almost only two states: full and empty. Personal skills are used madly as if they are risking their lives.

The system coin kept vibrating, and various red warning boxes and prompts popped up.

From the welfare home, one can see the private hospital across the street. Xiao Bailiu looked up at the dark building that seemed to want to eat people. His dark eyeballs reflected the other building where he was, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Suddenly, a light came on in the welfare house behind Xiao Bailiu, and a teacher screamed in panic: "A child knocked the teacher unconscious and ran away!"

It was as if all the lights in the orphanage were voice-controlled, illuminated by the scream. The teachers stood by the windows with gloomy and terrifying faces. Their shadows were stretched by the light and reflected on the windows, like the Slender Man, staring eerily at these disobedient, runaway children through the windows.

At this moment, these teachers seemed to have shed their friendly and amiable appearance during the day and turned into monsters like the hospital investors.

"Catch them back!" The director's voice rang out gloomily through the loudspeaker throughout the orphanage. She roared like a hysterical, controlling parent, "Catch these children who want to run away and punish them severely! Drown the leading children in the baptismal pool!"
