Bai Liu and Liu Huai were finally carried away by the nurse who arrived late.

This was destined to be a chaotic night. Mu Ke ran in panic behind. The child monsters in the hospital seemed to be frightened by the loud explosion and disappeared one after another.

After brief and unprofessional treatment, Bai Liu and Liu Huai, the two patients who had not suffered any blast injuries but simply lost too much blood, were quickly carried out of the operating room and sent back to their original wards.

In fact, the nurses originally wanted to send them both to the intensive care unit, but now the intensive care unit is already filled with other patients. Bai Liu and Liu Huai, whose injuries are relatively minor, can only stay in their ordinary wards.

For example, Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, who were seriously injured, are now in the intensive care unit on the second floor. They are still in a coma and will not wake up in a short time. Bai Liu certainly thought of assassinating them right away, but unfortunately the intensive care unit is full of nurses and they can't get in at all.

And now they have no main attack force.

Liu Huai lost both arms, and Bai Liu's stamina and health points were almost exhausted. He would die if touched. Only Mu Ke was better off, but he only had six health points left.

But even if Mu Ke chopped with a dagger, the Miao Gao zombie just lay there motionless. Mu Ke chopped for an hour without being able to break the Miao Gao zombie's defense.

And if they wake these two up, they might be the first to die - so for now, doing nothing is the best option, because their goal has basically been achieved.

Bai Liu and Mu Ke's wards were both destroyed, and they could not return to their own wards. Wards were extremely scarce due to the explosion caused by Bai Liu, and it was impossible for them to share a patient with other monster investors. After coordination, the three of them were arranged in a ward by the nurse as they wished - 501, Liu Huai's ward.

Liu Huai lay on the bed, while Mu Ke and Bai Liu tore up pieces of paper from a book and laid them on the floor, preparing to spend the night together.

After Bai Liu finished arranging his bed for the night, he did not lie down. Instead, he took the pen from the drawer and spread the torn papers on his knees, seemingly writing and drawing something casually.

Mu Ke curiously leaned over to take a look: "Bai Liu, what are you writing?"

Bai Liu said: "I am sorting out the current clues, both inside and outside the game."

"Oh! Tell me about the clues, Bai Liu!" Mu Ke seemed to suddenly remember something and began to report to Bai Liu seriously, "I found something when I was looking through the medical records. Although the [Life-Prolonging Prescription] says that the children should be selected with [pure blood], it should be best to have children with blood relationship, but when I was looking at the medical records, I found that most of the children selected by the investors for blood draws -"

"——We have no blood relationship with them, but we have achieved relatively good treatment results in the end, right?" Bai Liu wrote something on the paper without looking away. "After all, we are a minority who have a blood relationship with our children directly through system settings."

"Based on common sense and reality, most investors would not use children who are related to them by blood to carry out this kind of folk remedy, and they do not look for children in welfare institutions just to find children who are related to them by blood."

Bai Liu casually drew a small house that looked like an orphanage, and then drew two or three thin and ghost-like "investors", and wrote a sentence between the orphanage and the "investors": "There is most likely no blood relationship."

Bai Liu tapped the paper thoughtfully, "So blood relationship is only one meaning of 'pure blood relationship' in 'Life-Prolonging Formula'. It is probably only for players like us whose system has given us NPC children who are related to us by blood. But for other investors here and those entrepreneurs in reality, this 'pure blood relationship' obviously has another definition."

"That is, the children who meet the definition in this [Life-Prolonging Formula] are not only blood-related children, but also other children who meet the standard of [pure blood relationship] in the [Life-Prolonging Formula]. This is what I thought when I was looking through the medical records." Mu Ke nodded in agreement with Bai Liu's statement, and soon he became a little confused: "But I don't really understand what the specific standard of [pure blood relationship] is for investors to select these children for blood draws."

"If [pure blood] requires the child's blood type to be consistent with the [investor's] standard, then from what I remember, the blood types of the children they selected, whether they were typed using ABO or RH, were inconsistent between the investors and the children who had their blood drawn." Mu Ke explained and analyzed the regulations very clearly based on his memory.

"And I did a rough memory analysis based on the blood test indicators of all the selected children. However, no matter from the biochemical indicators, hemoglobin content, I even wrote down the background information and regions of these children, but I still couldn't see the criteria for [investors] to select [children]. I actually don't quite understand the definition of this [bloodline innocence]."

Mu Ke's brows were locked in confusion. "And after I read and memorized a lot of medical records, I found something very strange. That is, a large number of children selected for blood draws were not very healthy..."

"——They all have various defects, or congenital diseases, right?" Bai Liu's eyes were fixed on a certain point on his paper. "Do you find it strange that investors don't choose healthy children, but prefer these weaker children who seem to have various congenital diseases?"

"Yes." Mu Ke nodded quickly. He looked at Bai Liu in surprise. "How did you know? This is a rule I discovered after reading a lot of case data."

"In fact, I have thought about this before, but I thought that only a mentally ill person like me would come up with this idea. It was too unbelievable. But Liu Jiayi's life experience just now verified my idea." Bai Liu drew a little girl on the welfare home with a heavy gaze, and blackened her eyes with a pencil. He said in an inexplicable tone, "This [pure blood] has nothing to do with blood type, biochemical indicators, hemoglobin content and other physiological indicators."

When Liu Huai heard Liu Jiayi's name, he turned over and sat up with difficulty, and looked at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl on the paper: "This [pure blood] means that these children have maintained the purity of their blood ethically."

"They are all children of inbreeding, so they are full of congenital defects."

[System prompt: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for unlocking the hidden branch line information in the main identity line - the true meaning of pure blood relationship]

[System prompt: Among all the children, there is a special child. His blood alone is enough to save an investor player. No more blood is needed, and no blood relationship is required. He is the universal antidote child in the game "Love Welfare Home"! Guess who he is]

After Bai Liu said this, the ward was quiet for several minutes.

Mu Kecai felt a chill on his spine and asked softly, "...No way? Are these investors deliberately looking for children with congenital disabilities?"

Bai Liu casually drew a square and a circle on the paper, connected them with a straight line in the middle to represent mating, and then wrote an [Aa] and an [Aa] on it - Mu Ke could tell at a glance that this was a biological genetic map.

"Generally speaking, each of us who looks normal has a certain probability of carrying abnormal recessive genes, and inbreeding will increase the probability of these recessive genes being concentrated, which means that it will lead to the birth of congenitally deformed children. This probability is called the inbreeding coefficient." Bai Liu said, "My medical knowledge is average, but I have read some related books for the purpose of making games. It is said that inbreeding will also increase the probability of chromosome aberration."

Mu Ke thought with mixed feelings, what does Bai Liu usually read to make games... No wonder most of the games he made failed to pass the review...

"The pure-blooded children and deformed children that these investors want are not directly equivalent. Inbreeding does increase the probability of deformed children, but it does not mean that all deformed children are the result of inbreeding. The two conditions are neither necessary nor sufficient." Mu Ke fell into deep thought. He propped up his chin and asked back, "Moreover, when these children came to the orphanage, many of them were nameless and had no specific family background. We only knew where they came from. How did these investors determine that these children were pure-blooded?"

"There is also a screening mechanism here." Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes, "They choose to adopt deformed children with specific diseases, such as albinism, congenital heart disease, and Liu Jiayi's case, and then screen out the children with pure blood from the remaining children."

Mu Ke was a little confused: "But how can we select the children with pure blood from these children when we don't know any relevant information about the children's parents? There is no way to select them with the standard of close relatives..."

"There is a way." Bai Liu said calmly, "Haven't you already seen this screening process?"

Mu Ke was startled: "I've seen it..."

He suddenly realized something and turned his head to look at the paper in Bai Liu's hand. Bai Liu had just drawn a large mushroom shaped like a blood ganoderma.

Mu Ke spoke in disbelief: "...the poisonous mushroom poisoning incident at the welfare home..."

"Blood Ganoderma is a fungus that grows by sucking the blood of children. It needs the blood of children with pure blood to grow normally. Blood Ganoderma is a good screening standard." Bai Liu painted on the mushroom carelessly. "After eating it, children can be parasitized by it without showing obvious signs of poisoning, but only slight signs of anemia. This means that the blood ganoderma is sucking the blood of these children, and this child meets the standard of pure blood."

"In reality, children in welfare homes are poisoned by mushrooms from time to time. I think it is very likely that they are screening children who meet the criteria, but because the amount of food consumed was controlled before, these children did not suffer from large-scale poisoning and death. The children who did not become poisoned after eating mushrooms, that is, the children who met the "pure blood" standard, I guess it is very likely that around Children's Day, after a simple check and confirmation with the investors, these children "ran away from home" and disappeared from the welfare home."

Bai Liu said lazily, "But it's hard to say whether these children ran away on their own or were selected by investors and secretly transported to the homes of these investors as blood bags."

Mu Ke got goosebumps all over his body. He rubbed his arms and asked hesitantly, "...But if that's the case, Liu Jiayi's poisoning case doesn't make sense..."

"Yes!" Liu Huai joined the discussion with a gloomy face, and fear was still on his face. "When Jiayi got into trouble, this welfare home already had no investors to screen them! Why did such a large-scale poisoning incident occur!"

Bai Liu opened his eyelids and looked at Liu Huai lying on the bed calmly: "In reality, the welfare home is on the verge of bankruptcy, and no one is willing to take over these abandoned [children's goods]. However, the actual value of these [goods] is very high, equivalent to the value of life. If you were the custodian of this pile of goods, what would you do?"

Liu Huai, sitting on the bed, looked at Bai Liu in astonishment, as if he was afraid that this man could so coldly compare children to commodities.

Bai Liu remained indifferent and continued, "If I were the director of this welfare home, in order to further gain more benefits from these [products], I would start the screening process on my own initiative, pick out the most useful ones from this pile of products, and destroy those useless and wasteful products. I would then use these high-quality products that have been screened out as [bargaining chips] to start further contacting new investors."

Bai Liu looked at Mu Ke as he spoke. Mu Ke suddenly remembered that his father seemed to be planning to invest in this welfare home. He waved his hands frantically: "Although my father is not a good person, if the director of the welfare home made such... such a suggestion to him, he would not accept such a crazy proposal! He is a man with a moral bottom line!"

"Really?" Bai Liu suddenly lowered his voice. He leaned forward and got closer to Mu Ke. Mu Ke subconsciously took a few steps back when he saw Bai Liu's gaze.

Bai Liu's dark eyes seemed ghostly and full of a strange concentration in the dim ward. He looked at you like that, as if he wanted to use his eyes to draw out your most shameful thoughts from the depths of your brain.

"If I tell your father that these five children are about to be sucked dry by the blood ganoderma in their bodies, and they will die even if you don't want them, I will kill them right now if you call the police. You are really wasting these children's lives by doing this..."

"...You are so old now, it is inevitable that you will have cancer, high blood sugar and high cholesterol. Aren't you going to prepare some plans for yourself? Your child also has congenital heart disease, right? This blood ganoderma can cure all diseases, including your child..."

"...Just let these children live a good life before you die. They are all deformed anyway. They won't be able to enter society when they grow up. It will be very difficult for them to live. They can only live in this narrow welfare home..."

"...Some children actually have severe depression and suicidal tendencies. We have tried all kinds of methods but have not been able to relieve them because it is congenital. You also know that children born to close relatives will not live long. They are all willing. Yes, how can we force these children? We always talk to the children and say that we will give them cakes, candies and toys in the future, and then they are very happy...

"...You let him live in pain for more than 20 years, and the more he grows up, the more miserable he will be. It is better to let him live simply and happily and give him enough material resources to live for a few years. Moreover, some of them will not live long even if this is not done..."

"We are an orphanage, a place where good deeds are done..." Bai Liu lowered her eyelids and whispered to Mu Ke, who was cowering in fear against the wall, in a voice that seemed to be tempting him to fall, "We love these children more than you do, so how could we harm them? Besides, what you are doing is saving them, making their lives better in this life, and then giving them a good rebirth in the next life."

Bai Liu slowly raised her eyelids and looked at Mu Ke calmly with a look that showed she had expected something: "Now, what will your father choose?"

Mu Ke felt his heart numbing from the look in Bai Liu's eyes. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't utter a word.

"Don't expect to use people's morality to constrain them to gain benefits." Bai Liu retracted his gaze indifferently and sat back in his original seat, "Because this will only lead to the way to gain benefits being presented in the form of morality in the end."

Liu Huai was sitting paralyzed on the bed. He was stunned for a long time. He felt the gripping fear that had been missing for a long time. He slowly said, "...Bai Liu, if Jiayi is chosen by this mushroom to suck blood now, then if we don't find a way to deal with this blood ganoderma as soon as possible, Jiayi will be..."

Bai Liu was silent. He did not answer Liu Huai's words, but returned to where he was sitting originally, staring solemnly at the little girl he had drawn on the paper in his hand.

The little girl, outlined by black and white lines, had her legs tucked up, and Bai Liu had written a blood volume on her body - 50 (? ).

This means that Liu Jiayi's health is unknown and is constantly being consumed.

Love Welfare Home, Wednesday morning, 3:45.

Handcraft classroom.

The other four children except Bai Liu were locked up in a handicraft classroom at the back of the orphanage, where the teacher locked them up.

This craft classroom is located very deep inside the orphanage. There are no windows on three walls. The only wall with windows faces the corridor, and opposite it is the toilet - caregivers and teachers come to use the toilet from time to time, which makes this craft classroom very suitable for use as a small prison to lock up some naughty children who want to run away from the orphanage.

There were some canvases, glue, cloth scraps and other things that could be used for handicrafts scattered randomly on the ground in the classroom. This was also the place where they made gifts for investors before, but these things were scattered on the ground not because the children made gifts yesterday, but because of the angry and anxious Xiao Miao Fei Ya.

He frantically swept everything to the ground and walked around the classroom. Miao Gaojiang watched him silently. Miao Feichi suddenly turned around and roared at Miao Gaojiang: "You better think of a way! Tomorrow I will be arrested and have my blood drawn! Then we will all be finished! Dead!"

Miao Gaojiang was about to speak when the classroom door suddenly opened and the teacher came back from the infirmary, leading two pale-faced children, Liu Jiayi and Mu Ke.

Liu Jiayi and Mu Ke were just sent for a checkup because of problems. Liu Jiayi vomited blood and Mu Ke had chest pain. After the checkup, in order to prevent them from escaping, the teacher sent them to this small prison-like [handicraft classroom].

The teacher said to Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi, "You two don't have any big problems. Just stay here quietly. When the investors come tomorrow, I'll take you to a private hospital for treatment. I don't want to see anyone escape again."

After saying that, she turned and left, closing the door.

Mu Ke squatted on the ground, holding his chest with his hands, and rested with his last breath. Liu Jiayi frowned and leaned against the wall to take a deep breath. Her lips were completely bloodless. These two children did not look like they were in perfect condition as the teacher said.

Miao Feichi got furious when he saw the two burdens. He raised his hands high, rushed forward and cursed: "Damn it, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have escaped!"

Seeing that the slap was about to fall on him and Liu Jiayi, Mu Ke subconsciously stood up and blocked Liu Jiayi. He reached out to catch Miao Feichi's falling hand and said in defense: "You can't run away without us! There are monsters outside!"

Liu Jiayi leaned against the wall with a weak look on her face and slowly slid to the ground. Her pale lips opened and closed slightly between her fingers because of her hard breathing. She looked even worse than Mu Ke.

Miao Feichi suddenly swallowed his saliva when he saw the weak Liu Jiayi. He grabbed the wooden stick in front of him, pulled it apart and approached Liu Jiayi step by step in the corner. His eyes were a little straight and his Adam's apple slid up and down because of swallowing saliva: "Damn it, I'm going to be eaten by someone tomorrow, and I haven't even had a bite of what I want to eat..."
