32. Children's Welfare Home

Chapter 90

"You said you kissed a merman with a silver-blue tail in a jar and a ghost in a mirror that was about to explode on a burning train?" Little Bai Liu (6) asked softly in a nonchalant tone. "Your relationship history seems a bit extraordinary."

Bai Liu didn't care. "They are all just characters in the game. By the way, you listened to me today for so long without hanging up. Why? Do you want to call me for the full three hours?"

"If I could, I would call you for three hours." Little Bai Liu (6) answered indifferently. "After all, it is billed by the minute. Today is the rare occasion where everyone is running around and attracting the attention of the deformed children. At present, only me and Mu Ke have managed to call and inform our investors of what is going to happen tomorrow."

"However, the blind little girl called Liu Jiayi moves very quickly. She can't see but she has been moving while attaching herself to the walls. Just now, I covered her and led away the deformed child on her side. She should be able to finish the call soon and go back."

"The other children are running pretty fast. I remember that they are called Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. They managed to call but they were crying the entire time. They didn't explain to the people on the other side that they would invite investors to watch the ceremony tomorrow."

Little Bai Liu (6) explained the situation quickly to Bai Liu with some gasping in his breath. Still, his explanation was very clear. "You can rest assured that I am more alert. I didn't know that you and the investors of these two children have a grudge but I deliberately avoided them when I ran with Mu Ke. They didn't discover that we were on the phone together. In addition, perhaps it is because they are running around and attracting the attention of the monsters that the three of us can call so easily tonight."

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. There is more than one deformed child tonight." Little Bai Liu (6) calmly added. "There are three with different deformities. They aren't the same as the child last night. One is moving on the ground with four limbs and his lips are purple. Another has limb deformities. They fold inside when running and he will limp. The ratio of limbs to body and head is very strange. The last one has abnormally white hair and skin. I just hid on the slide and looked at it. I didn't see it clearly but the child's eyes should be purple."

Bai Liu had lived in a welfare home and he was familiar with common deformities. He thought about it. "It feels a bit like congenital heart disease, incomplete bone development and albinism."

They were all congenital genetic diseases and largely coincided with the diseases that the five children who survived in the real world had.

Bai Liu quickly found two peculiar points. First, there were indeed many disabled children in the welfare home. Those who died and those who survived were children with certain congenital diseases. This was already a very special point. What did it mean? Secondly, why could the deformed children in the real world survive while the deformed children in this world became ghosts?

For the first point, Bai Liu needed more information to reason things out and explain. As for the second point, Bai Liu felt he already had an answer.

Bai Liu played with the broken coin hanging against his chest while falling into contemplation. According to the information currently given in this instance, a normal child i.e. children with no deformities were attracted by the sound of the flute and disappeared. They never reappeared after disappearing. The manner in which the deformed children died was currently unknown. After death, they became monsters and came out to play.

However, it wasn't like they couldn't die. Based on the rules that Bai Liu knew about the Love Welfare Institute, the six children with congenital diseases in reality, including Liu Jiayi, should exist as NPCs like the deformed children in the instance. If all the NPCs in this Love Welfare Institute instance died then the six children who didn't have accidents in reality would have to die to conform to the law of this instance.
