Chapter 95.1: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)
Night time, the children’s welfare home.
Bai Liu (6) lay on the bed and silently opened his eyes. He heard an intermittent flute sound that had awakened him but in his room, everyone else was sleeping. These children had been running all night and had consumed their energy. They were all sound asleep except for Bai Liu (6), who was always alert.
Bai Liu (6) got down from the bed very quietly and put on his shoes. Then he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was 2 a.m.
In the group bedroom late at night, only the children’s slight snoring could be heard. The children curled up on the beds and covered their soft bodies with a quilt. Even Mu Ke covered his head with a quilt as if to protect himself.
In fact, as long as someone wanted then they could easily break these children. Bai Liu (6) watched as the door to their room slowly opened. The wooden door creaked with the rhythm of the flute, revealing the dark, eerie, empty corridor outside.
There was no one outside the door. The door opened by itself.
The sound of the flute that was continuous, melodious and cheerful floated in. The children sleeping on the bed started to twist uneasily. Their hands and feet moved like they were having a magical dream.
Upon seeing this, Bai Liu (6) directly shook Mu Ke awake.
No wonder why he wasn’t affected by the sound of the flute. The flute worked on a sleeping child but Bai Liu (6) had just come to the welfare home. He slept very lightly in strange and unfamiliar places. The moment the flute played, Bai Liu (6) woke up so he wouldn’t be affected by the hypnosis of the flute.
Mu Ke was pushed by Bai Liu (6) and gradually awakened. He rubbed his eyes and his forehead was covered with sweat as he took deep breaths in a daze. He woke up and stared at Bai Liu (6) standing at the head of the bed in a bit of a trance. It seemed he hadn’t yet reacted to the fact that he was awake or that there was a person standing by his bed.
Mu Ke half squinted his eyes, drowsily stretched out his feet to get off the bed and put on his shoes. He headed to the corridor while speaking dully, “We have to leave this welfare home. This welfare home will draw our blood and kill us…”
“Wake up. You just dreamed due to the hypnosis of the flute…” Bai Liu (6) grabbed Mu Ke’s wrist as he was about to go outside. He pulled Mu Ke to face him and narrowed his eyes.
Mu Ke’s eyes were sober. He was shaking and although his face had red marks and he looked sleepy, his eyes were very clear. There was a layer of tears from fear.
“It wasn’t a dream…” Mu Ke spoke in a trembling voice. The dream just now had obviously frightened him. “I saw a lot of nurses tying us to a bed. They plunged a lot of syringes into the back of our hands and feet. Red blood gushed along the infusion pipe and dropped into a stainless steel jar. Later, no more blood could be obtained from us…”
Mu Ke’s shoulders shrank back in fear and he hugged his shoulders. “They will stick our scalps and faces with very thick black needles like the ones used on livestock. They will wrap our necks with rubber tubes to squeeze the blood vessels in our faces, making it easier for them to draw blood.”
“We were tied up and suffocated until we turned purple. We struggled desperately but couldn’t escape from the hospital bed…”
Mu Ke had tears in his eyes as he looked at Bai Liu (6), who was calm and motionless. He was a bit anxious as he grabbed Bai Liu (6)’s hand, wanting to pull this child along. “I swear it isn’t a dream! I saw what will happen after tomorrow’s baptism. Those investors are bad guys! They baptized us and funded us in order to draw out all the blood in us. They aren’t funding us for free. Let’s run. Get out of here!”
“Of course they aren’t funding us for free.” Bai Liu (6)’s tone was cold. “There is no free thing in this world, especially for you and I who are young humans who don’t have much value. The only valuable thing is naturally our body. They invested in us for what we have in our body. What is surprising about them doing this? Isn’t it natural?”
Mu Ke saw the very calm Bai Liu (6) and was a bit dazed. He took a step back out of fear. “You already knew they were bad people?”
“They aren’t bad people. They are just consumers who have the ability to buy our bodies.” Bai Liu (6)’s eyes that contained no waves watched the obviously frightened Mu Ke. “We are humans who don’t have the ability to buy ourselves. We are just commodities who can be bought and sold at will. We can only be purchased.”
Bai Liu (6) had no expression at all and he spoke like he was telling an objective truth. “We only have value in the category of goods. So it is normal for us to be purchased.”
“They are here to draw our blood!” Mu Ke shouted anxiously!
Bai Liu (6) glanced at him casually. “So? Do you think that the people outside must be good people and will never draw your blood? Perhaps they will eat your meat or do something more terrible to you. Do you have any ability to resist? Is there any point in escaping? Before you have the ability to buy others, it doesn’t matter if you escape. As goods to be sold, you are just escaping from the small shelf of the welfare home to a larger shelf.”
