They searched every classroom, dormitory, and toilet cubicles on every floor. They almost dug deep into the ground, but they couldn't find a single hair of this blind child who could jump around. They had no idea where he could have hidden!
Miao Feichi leaned against the wall and gasped. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and cursed: "Fuck, where on earth is this little blind girl hiding?! I have used up all my fucking detective props, and there is no trace at all. If I didn't know that this little blind girl would definitely not escape from this orphanage, I would have suspected that she had already escaped!"
Liu Jiayi will pass the level once she runs out of the welfare home, and the system will send out a clearance reminder, but now Miao Feichi and the others have not received any clearance reminders from any players, which means that Liu Jiayi is still in the welfare home.
"The only thing left is the church." Miao Gaojiang was also panting. He didn't have enough energy to drink the energy recovery potion, and his face showed obvious fatigue. "But we have been wandering around the road to the church. If she went there, we would have seen her."
"Bai Liu was guarding the church, and Liu Jiayi killed Bai Liu's child." Miao Feichi said, "She must be crazy to go to Bai Liu and give herself to him."
But Liu Jiayi had to go to church, because once it was past midnight on Thursday, Liu Huai would become seriously ill and his health points would begin to decrease - and Liu Huai only had two health points. If he couldn't wait for Liu Jiayi to treat him in time, he would definitely die tonight.
But Miao's father and son didn't know that Liu Huai came with Bai Liu. After all, Liu Huai's hands had been chopped off by Miao Feichi, and Bai Liu had no reason to bring Liu Huai along with him.
Before midnight, the one who dies before Liu Huai will be Bai Liu, whose health value is 0.5.
So Miao Gaojiang and the others were also waiting, wasting time waiting for the arrival of midnight when they would reap Bai Liu's life.
"I told you not to worry. Don't worry about Bai Liu." Miao Gaojiang looked at Miao Feichi wearily. "Once Thursday comes, our health and resistance will be higher. We can wear Bai Liu and the others down."
Miao Gaojiang was just about to lecture Miao Feichi, but the moment he saw Miao Feichi's face, Miao Gaojiang's pupils shrank, and his hand, which was about to pat Miao Feichi's shoulder, stopped in mid-air.
Miao Feichi turned his head. His originally handsome face was gone. On his face was an old, sick, bloodless face of a woman. The woman smiled strangely, opened her mouth and spoke to him, with boiling water dripping from the corners of her mouth.
[System prompt: The player Miao Gao's spirit value is unstable and is decreasing in a volatile manner! Please restore the spirit value quickly! ]
Miao Gaozhuang's breathing became rapid. With shaking hands, he lowered his head and quickly drank a mouthful of mental bleach, telling himself that all this was an illusion, caused by the sequelae of his forced decrease in mental value.
Miao Feichi, who was standing next to him, looked at Miao Gaojiang strangely and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you? You have been acting strangely since the beginning. I am asking you a question. Why are you so startled?"
Miao Gaojiang managed to calm down. He forced a smile and looked at Miao Feichi: "...What did you just ask me?"
"Oh, nothing." Miao Feichi waved his hand nonchalantly, "I just don't understand why Liu Huai and Liu Jiayi are so desperate for each other. This is too stupid. I wonder if they have some other purpose."
"...Aren't they brother and sister? No matter how bad they are, they are still related by blood." Miao Gaozhuang murmured.
"Family affection? I can't do such a stupid thing anyway." Miao Feichi sneered and said disdainfully, "If I were Liu Jiayi, I would definitely escape by myself without caring about Liu Huai's life or death."
Miao Gaojiang's breathing quickened again. His eyes turned red. He lowered his head and took a deep breath of mental bleach: "... Let's continue looking for Liu Jiayi."
————————
Church, 8:47 p.m.
Liu Huai, who was resting against the wall, glanced at the time. He couldn't hide his worry in his eyes: "...will Jiayi be found by them?"
"I don't think it's possible." Xiao Mu Ke shook his head. "Liu Jiayi is too familiar with this orphanage, even more familiar than the teacher. She deliberately wanted to hide so she wouldn't be found so easily." He pursed his lips, lowered his trembling eyelashes and whispered, "...This kid was able to kill Bai Liu and Miao Feichi without making a sound. Don't underestimate her. She is ruthless. If you really meet her, you won't know who will die."
When Liu Huai heard this, the anxious look on his face froze for a moment, then faded away like the tide: "...That's right."
The famous little witch was hired by the King's Guild at a huge expense, so she would not be without any means and props to save her life.
Bai Liu agreed with Xiao Mu Ke's opinion: "Just wait, this welfare home should be like an amusement park to Liu Jiayi. It is a map that she is familiar with, and she has treatment skills. Miao Gao's condition is obviously not right. He was whipped by Xiao Bailiu, a novice, in the tunnel. I think Liu Jiayi should be more careful, so that she won't be found so easily."
Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu anxiously: "Are we just going to sit here and wait for her? Liu Jiayi doesn't even know we are in the church. Once it's past midnight, you will be seriously ill! Your health will be instantly reduced to zero!"
Liu Jiayi will definitely treat Liu Huai, and Mu Ke still has little Mu Ke as a life-saving talisman.
Everyone else still has hope of clearing the level, except Bai Liu, who has only 0.5 health points and has no way out.
If Liu Jiayi does not treat Bai Liu before midnight on Wednesday, this welfare home will be Bai Liu's last game.
Bai Liu's eyes slowly fell on the statue in the church: "Isn't there still 0.5 left?"
Mu Ke was stunned.
Bai Liu retracted his gaze and looked at the stunned Mu Ke, smiling slowly: "Is 0.5 too little? 0.5 is a lot, it's the difference between life and death. This 0.5 keeps me alive, and the game is not over yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
He shook his wrist, and Bai Liu continued, "I still have a prop that can resist damage, at least I can live until twelve o'clock tonight, but I think Liu Jiayi will take the initiative to call me by nine o'clock."
"But even so, it would be difficult for Liu Jiayi to take the initiative to treat you, right?" Mu Ke frowned. He pushed little Mu Ke, who was a little confused, in front of Bai Liu, looked directly at Bai Liu and said seriously, "The underground passage will be open again at nine o'clock. You have Xiao Bailiu's phone number. You can take Xiao Bailiu's blood and my children back to the hospital. Let Xiao Bailiu escort you back and use their blood to treat your blood ganoderma first. Your health is too dangerous!"
Liu Huai also sat up a little and looked at Bai Liu: "This is indeed a safer method for you."
"And leave you guys here with no offensive power?" Bai Liu's eyes swept over Mu Ke's face and Liu Huai's broken arms. "Miao Feichi can kill both of you with a single turn of his gun."
Mu Ke wanted to say more, but Bai Liu interrupted him calmly: "And you let little Mu Ke come with me. What I said before about needing the blood of 1.6 children was just a theoretical inference of the minimum mortality rate of investors. It means that the blood of an investor's blood Ganoderma lucidum requires at least 1.6 children's blood, not that the blood of 1.6 children can definitely save me."
"What if the mortality rate of this game is 75%? Then Xiao Mu Ke needs to bleed all of his blood to save me. Will you let him do that?"
Mu Ke pursed his lips and lowered his head without answering - it was obvious that Mu Ke had already thought of this situation, but he wanted to take a gamble, betting that both little Mu Ke and Bai Liu could survive.
Seeing Mu Ke like this, Bai Liu felt a little headache and thought that Mu Ke had not learned anything else from him except the gambling skill.
Xiao Mu Ke, who was pushed out by him, had turned completely pale. With his hands clasped together and trembling, he glanced at Bai Liu.
"Liu Jiayi is the key to this game, so the system will try every means to restrict her. Her healing skills can keep the children alive while bleeding." Bai Liu analyzed calmly, "As long as she stands on our side, we will have a chance to pass the level alive."
On the third floor, the director's office of the welfare home, next to the window.
Liu Jiayi, wearing a black veil, "looked" expressionlessly at Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang who were looking for her below. The door of the office behind her was surging with a strange sense of barrier fluctuations, and the door was vague, as if it would disappear at any time.
[System prompt: Player Liu Jiayi uses a special item (magic space)]
The two people from the dean's office came up once, but failed to find it and were blocked by Liu Jiayi's props.
Liu Jiayi learned from Bai Liu that the NPC dean died last night, so the dean's office is a space that no one will set foot in for a long time. There is no place in the entire welfare home more suitable for hiding people than this place.
She did stay here and deceive the father and son.
"The item Hong Tao gave me is really useful." Liu Jiayi said to herself without any emotion on her face, "It is worthy of being the top-notch item in the warehouse of a large guild like the King's Guild. Why did my brother insist on following Mu Sicheng and not join this guild? No matter how I asked Hong Tao to recruit you, you refused to come in... but you insisted on following a dangerous person like Mu Sicheng."
"You can only be an assassin who helps to block the knife and prevent damage when you are with him. You will kill yourself."
【Jiayi, I have a friend! 】
[His name is Mu Sicheng, he is my roommate. He knows that I didn’t have a very good upbringing, I told him everything, friends should be honest... but he doesn’t mind my background! He is a very good person! He just has some minor quirks that he has to have, I can accept that! We can understand each other, haha, playing games together is fun! ]
"Silly brother, how can there be good people in this world? We have never met any good people." Liu Jiayi drooped her long eyelashes and said softly, "Mu Sicheng is not worthy of your attention to this extent... Has he ever paid anything for you? Why are you hurt and in so much pain because of betraying him?"
You've done the same betrayal to me thousands of times, haven't you?
Do you ever feel pain for betraying me, brother?
Liu Huai's tears of grief appeared in front of Liu Jiayi. He hugged Liu Jiayi and cried until he was exhausted and shed tears unconsciously:
[I have no friends anymore, Jiayi, I did something wrong to protect you! ]
Liu Jiayi slowly clenched her fists, and soon she calmed down her emotions. She touched the quartz watch on her wrist, which had been removed from its case, and her fingers fell on the overlapping hands: "It's nine o'clock."
Liu Jiayi took out her cell phone. Her voice changed from a cold tone to a soft and gentle one. She casually used her index finger to wrap around the phone's string: "...Brother, are you there? We couldn't get out today. Can you pick me up tomorrow?"
