Chapter 23 is that super scary baby!
There was a moment of silence.
Chi Liu frowned slightly in confusion: "You..." Did you hear any sound?
To be precise, that faint voice seemed to be directly inserted into his mind...
He didn't hear the content of the sentence clearly, but he seemed to hear the word "Mom"? Was he hallucinating?
Wenxi opened her eyes wide and nodded rapidly, while Saito twitched his lips and didn't dare to speak.
Xiang Xiang pointed at Chi Liu's belly and said seriously, "It's the baby talking."
Chi Liu was stunned, smiled helplessly, and said nothing - he did not take Xiang Xiang's childish words seriously.
How could an embryo that was only about two months old be able to speak?
Wenxi and Qi Teng didn't know about the children's matter yet. Chi Liu was about to treat the previous voice as a collective auditory hallucination and change the subject, when a loud song "Two Tigers" sounded -
"——One has no ears, and the other has no tail. How strange, how strange~"
Chi Liu: "...?"
The four of them looked outside the door at the same time, and saw the building manager walking in with a little boy with a mushroom head.
The boy was holding a small music player in his hand, which was playing this nursery rhyme.
The manager gently ruffled the boy's black hair, turned off the player, and then introduced him to Chi Liu: "Xiao Chi, this is my son Mingming."
After saying that, he looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped: "Xiao Chi, I want to ask you for a favor..."
Chi Liu smiled at the little boy first, then looked at the manager: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can."
Wenxi consciously took Saito and Xiangxiang away, and the manager said, "Oh, my son recently made a friend who is just as quiet as him..."
Mingming has mild autism and usually goes to a special school, where he is always alone.
Recently, he happily said that he had made friends, so he excitedly changed the ringtone of all his family members' cell phones to "Two Tigers" and filled his player with this song so he could play it at any time.
"But these past two days, his friend suddenly disappeared," the manager said, "Before he disappeared, he told Mingming that he was going to look for someone named Chi Liu."
The manager smiled at Chi Liu embarrassedly and said, "I was wondering, Xiao Chi, isn't your name Chi Liu? If it's really a coincidence that he's looking for you, please tell him that my son really values him as a friend. He's going to transfer to another city soon, and I hope to see him again before he leaves."
Chi Liu blinked in surprise. He bent down slightly and looked at Mingming, and said gently, "Can you describe what your friend looks like?"
He hadn't had the chance to meet more people in this world, and he couldn't think of who would come to see him.
The autistic child couldn't look people in the eye. Mingming hid behind his father, lowered his head, shyly and nervously handed the crayon drawing in his hand to Chi Liu.
Chi Liu took over: There are two little people holding hands in the painting. One of them has a mushroom head and is obviously Mingming. The other one is a little taller than Mingming, wearing black clothes and has a black head that looks like a hat.
Chi Liu was stunned when he saw the little man in the hoodie: He had actually seen someone wearing a hoodie like this recently...
At this time, Mingming pointed at the two little people with his tiny fingers and said in a small and childish voice: "One has no ears, and the other has no tail, but they are friends...then they are complete."
They all have flaws and are on the fringes of the crowd, but they can be friends with each other and have fun.
The manager felt a lump in his throat and hugged his son tightly.
Mingming said at this time: "His name is No. 28."
Chi Liu was stunned: Is this also a name?
Then he curved his eyes, which became even warmer and softer, and he promised Mingming: "Don't worry, if your friend comes to see me, I will definitely let him go to see you."
Mingming lowered his head, said thank you softly, and left the bar with the manager. The player continued to play "Two Tigers", and the lingering sound echoed in the bar.
Chi Liu looked at the figures of the father and son and decided to try his luck at the hospital again in the next two days to see if he could meet the man in the hoodie.
Thinking of this, a hint of doubt appeared on his face: the thin and neurotic man made him subconsciously feel uncomfortable. Could he really be Mingming's friend?
…
On the main road.
Secretary Wen temporarily put the strange man down, and walked unsteadily with an extremely large pile of books in her arms, cursing the damn evil capitalist countless times in her heart.
At this time, the cell phone in his pocket started ringing like a life-threatening urge. Secretary Wen wanted to bang his head against the stone wall on the side of the road and faint, so that he wouldn't have to work!
You know! He hasn't even had lunch yet!
But, with veins throbbing on his forehead for a moment, he still put the book steadily on the ground and answered the phone without complaint.
He thought it was another harassing call from his boss, but it turned out to be Lao Zheng who really had something important to talk to him about: "Lao Wen, those two people who looked exactly the same that you sent to the police station before were going to attack Mr. Chi. We have been investigating and now we have made some progress."
Secretary Wen's expression was stern: "You say."
Lao Zheng: "The first progress is about the origins of those two people. We found the numbers '12' and '35' engraved on their tongues respectively. Those may be their serial numbers."
"Lao Wen, I wonder if you have ever thought about this question. Their food is humans, and the demand is extremely high. However, they lurk here. In order not to expose themselves, they rarely carry out concentrated, large-scale hunting. They only commit sporadic crimes. So, where does their daily food come from?"
In fact, there is an extension question: What is the food source for the players in "that world"?
This question has troubled their experts for a long time, and maybe it can be answered this time.
Secretary Wen was stunned, and his eyes suddenly widened when he thought of the two identical faces.
Lao Zheng's voice turned cold: "Yes, it is very likely that one of them can clone the human body."
However, the conditions must be extremely harsh, otherwise, there would not be only one identical face now.
Secretary Wen's voice rarely cooled down: "What is the second progress?"
Old Zheng was silent for a moment before he said, "It's about that person's identity - I mean, the identity of the replica. A year ago, the replica designed by the Wenxi team was breached, and their replica designer died. The reason for the breach was that there was a traitor in the base. Later, the traitor disappeared."
He sighed and said, "We have reviewed a large amount of archival materials and compared the faces of the two clones. The laboratory has also conducted a genetic comparison. The result is: the original body of the clone is the traitor from that year."
Secretary Wen's pupils shrank:
Each instance of "That World" has fixed NPC instance designers and architects, who are their partners in fighting side by side. Generally, no one will change the team.
At that time, the person in charge of the Wenxi team was Saito...
It was because the team was disbanded that Saito had to run to various dungeons to help.
Later, perhaps because he still couldn't let go of the dead dungeon designer, Saito became extremely reluctant to work the night shift there, and thus escaped by wandering around in the vacation world...
Lao Zheng had said a few days ago that Wen Xi, who was originally just an architect, had devoted himself to studying dungeon design after that incident, and soon became an independent person...
"We recently closed the net based on the copy of Wenxi," Lao Zheng continued at this time: "There is still one small player hiding place, which we have not found yet. Those clones are likely to be there too. I don't know why they are so interested in Mr. Chi, but please remind him to be careful."
Secretary Wen said hello solemnly and hung up the phone.
He thought for a moment, decisively dropped the pile of books, and strode back to the bookstore.
…
"A-choo."
Wen Xi held the empty tray in one hand and rubbed the tip of his nose.
There were too many customers in the afternoon, so she started working part-time as a waitress.
After delivering the new order to the bar, Chi Liu mixed the drinks and looked at her: "Are you okay?"
Wen Xi shook her head and shrugged: "Someone is talking about me behind my back." After saying that, she glared at Saito.
Saito: "!!!" He raised his hands nervously in surrender: "It really wasn't me this time!"
Wen Xi chuckled and left with the new wine.
Chi Liu looked at Wen Xi's back thoughtfully and laughed, "Did you know each other before?"
Saito was startled. He lowered his head, and said disappointedly, "We were a team before..."
Chi Liu said "Ah", "Team", what a beautiful word. Saito must have had a very nostalgic time.
Chi Liu curved his eyes and stopped asking about other people's privacy. He continued to mix drinks with his head down.
At this moment, a yellow-haired man with tattoos all over his arms stood in front of the bar. He slapped a large banknote on the table with a "slap" sound and said in a sharp and loud voice: "Hey, I heard that there is a young bartender here who is pretty good? Hurry up and call him over to accompany me! I have plenty of money!"
Saito, who was resurrected immediately, raised his head and leaned over, pointing at himself innocently: "Me!"
An NPC praised him for his good looks!!
Huang Maoer curled his lips in disdain: "Get out of here, you're too strong!"
Saito's heartbreak: "QAQ"
At this time, Huang Maoer finally saw Chi Liu, his eyes lit up, he walked over excitedly, posed like a bully, and said, "How about you drink a glass of wine with me and I'll give you three thousand!"
Chi Liu: "..."
Ah, he remembered that in his old world, he would occasionally encounter young guests like cannon fodder...
I'm speechless. Can't you use this energy to read more books?
Chi Liu raised his eyes nonchalantly, picked up the banknote and glanced at it, smiling slightly: "First of all, this is one hundred, and secondly, this is counterfeit money."
Huang Mao'er was furious: "You can insult my body but you can't insult my personality and dignity!"
Chi Liu: “…..” What the hell is this.
He was just about to call security when suddenly, with a "bang", a glass of wine flew up and poured all over Huangmao'er's head.
Huangmaoer glared at Saito in disbelief and anger: He, the third evil young master of Qiu Hai, must make this store pay the price today!
Saito stared at his empty hand in astonishment: "No, it's not me! It's——"
It's that scary baby!!
Child: "Mom, I told you I'm really awesome! I will continue to help you beat the bad guys!"
Chi Liu came back to his senses and subconsciously stroked his slightly bulging belly gently: He seemed to have heard the word "Mom" again?
At this time, there was another loud "bang".
The arrogant young man Huangmao'er who had been so arrogant just now somehow fell to the ground, as if there was some invisible pressure on his back. He rolled his eyes and felt like he was about to suffocate, and he couldn't get up.
The bustling store suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked towards the bar.
Chu Qi stood beside him gracefully, smiled at Chi Liu, and said in a magnetic, clear and affectionate voice: "Dear, can I be intimate with you here now?"
The damn subordinates didn't bring those books back in time! He could only check the Internet which was really annoying!
As mentioned above, being intimate is necessary on a date.
But he was about to go on a business trip, so there was no time for her to go to the amusement park with him to watch a movie, or even to go to the hospital for a checkup...
It’s also nice to have a date (kids) here.
The people around couldn't help but let out a loud "Wow".
Chi Liu stood there stiffly with his eyes wide open, his face completely red:
Who would say something like that in front of so many people?!
He now wished he could kick this man into the river outside!

The author has something to say:
Today's update ~ Happy reading ~
I would like to recommend the author's new pre-collection "NPC Raising Cubs in an Infinite Flow World" (click on the column to see it), please collect it, hehe (*^▽^*) love you~
The text is as follows:
Copy 1:
Tao Xiu is an ordinary NPC with a gentle personality and a hobby of programming. He works as a keeper in a botanical garden and lives the life of a worker.
As for worries, he has two.
The first is that the city has black rain every Sunday.
After the rain stops, many uncivilized tourists will appear. They call themselves players and always try to steal his flowers and do some strange things to him that can be called sexual harassment.
Fortunately, none of them succeeded.
The second is that he met a scumbag who abandoned him after having sex with him.
The man he picked up after a black rain became his boyfriend and they had sex.
She had always loved her boyfriend and thought he was the most perfect lover in the world, but the day after she learned he was pregnant, the man disappeared.
Tao Xiu was sad for a while, but then she continued to live and gave birth to the child.
As a result, his city became increasingly touristy and less habitable.
He left there with his children and the botanical garden and started a traveling life selling flowers everywhere.
One day, they stayed in an ancient castle.
In the dark night, heavy rain was pouring, lightning and thunder were flashing, and the sky with thick clouds rolled open like an abyss, which continued to swallow the screaming tourists.
The child leaned against the window and looked at the courtyard full of roses. His bright red pupils pointed outside and shouted excitedly in a baby voice, "Mommy, look! It's Daddy!"
Darkness surged in the room, and cold and terrifying tentacles wrapped around Tao Xiu's thin and fragile neck, caressing the young man's soft, rosy lips.
A tall, handsome man with a sinister temperament stood in the shadows, and his voice was cold and terrifying: "Who are you? What is your purpose in seducing me?"
Tao Xiu: “….”
Oh, what a scumbag!
Copy 2:
"Deep Space Abyss" is the most popular infinite flow game nowadays, with an age limit of 18+.
Its first level, "Adventure in the Botanical Garden", has simple passing conditions, but the prize is an entire prop botanical garden!
It also comes with a super beautiful boss!
Players also have the opportunity to capture or imprison the boss, completely own him, and turn it into a "Botanical Garden Romance"!
All players are flocking to this...
But in the end, the dungeons of "Adventure in the Botanical Garden" and "The Castle: Deep Space Abyss" where the final boss was located became the existence without any strategy...
All players who approach the boss will be swallowed by the terrifying abyss...
Copywriting three:
The ultimate boss, Count Hoss, is handsome, but eccentric, sinister and cruel.
After losing a piece of memory, he became even more moody and lived in seclusion.
One day, a handsome young man appeared at the gate of the castle with a cute child, saying that he wanted to stay overnight.
The extremely bored Hoss had a cold expression and maliciously ordered the servant to open the door - he would tell the player who tried to use the beauty trap how stupid this move was...
…
Later: My wife is so nice, my son is so nice...
Also, can his wife please stop kicking him off the bed all the time? QAQ
